< 1 Samuel 18 >
1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that, the soul of Jonathan, was knit with, the soul of David, so that Jonathan loved him, as his own soul.
A PAU ae la kana kamailio pu ana me Saula, ua hui pu ia ka naau o Ionatana me ka naau o Davida, aloha aku la o Ionatana ia ia e like me kona uhane iho.
2 And Saul took him, that day, —and suffered him not to return unto the house of his father.
Lawe aku la o Saula ia ia ia la, aole ia i ae aku ia ia e hoi hou i ka hale o kona makuakane.
3 And Jonathan and David solemnised a covenant, —because he loved him as his own soul.
A hoopaa iho la o Ionatana a me Davida i kuikahi, no ka mea, aloha aku la oia ia ia e like me kona uhane iho.
4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe which was upon him, and gave it to David, —and his equipments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
Wehe ae la o Ionatana i kona kapa aahu maluna ona, a haawi aku la ia Davida, a me kona lole komo, a me kana pahikaua, a i kana kakaka, a me kona kaei.
5 And David went forth—whithersoever Saul sent him, he behaved himself prudently, so Saul set him over the men of war, —and he became a favourite in the eyes of all the people, yea even in the eyes of the servants of Saul.
A hele aku la o Davida i na wahi a pau a Saula i hoouna aku ai ia ia, ua hana naauao ia: a hoonoho aku la o Saula ia ia maluna o na kanaka kaua; a ua maikai oia i na maka o na kanaka a pau, a i na maka hoi o ka poe kauwa a Saula.
6 But so it was, when they came in on the return of David from the smiting of the Philistine, that the women went forth out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet Saul the king, —with timbrels, with rejoicing, and with instruments of three strings.
A i ko lakou hele ana mai, i ka wa a Davida i hoi mai ai i ka pepehi ana i ke kanaka Pilisetia, hele mai la na wahine mai na kulanakauhale a pau o ka Iseraela mai, e mele ana, a e haa ana, e halawai me Saula ke alii, me na kuolokani, a me ka olioli, a me na mea kani.
7 And the women that made merry responded to each other in song, and said, —Saul, hath smitten, his thousands, but, David, his, tens of thousands.
Olelo ae la na wahine e haa ana, i aku la, O na tausani ka Saula i pepehi ai, a he umi tausani ka Davida.
8 Then was Saul exceeding angry, and this saying was offensive in his eyes, and he said, —They have ascribed, to David, ten thousands, but, to me, have they ascribed thousands, —What, more, then, can he have but, the kingdom?
Huhu nui iho la o Saula, a ua hewa ia olelo i kona manao; i iho la, Ua haawi lakou na Davida he umi tausani, a ua haawi lakou na'u he mau tausani: o ka lilo o ke aupuni nona ka mea i koe.
9 And Saul was eyeing David from that day forward.
Awihi ae la ko Saula maka ia Davida mai ia manawa mai.
10 And, when it came to pass, on the morrow, that a superhuman spirit of sadness came suddenly upon Saul, and he was moved to raving in the midst of the house, —and, David, began playing with his hand, as he had done day by day, that a spear being in Saul’s hand,
Ia la iho, hiki mai ka uhane ino maluna o Saula na ke Akua mai, a wanana aku la ia iloko o ka hale; a hookani iho la o Davida me kona lima, e like me na manawa mamua: a he ihe ma ka lima o Saula.
11 Saul hurled the spear, and said to himself—I will smite David, even to the wall! But David moved round from before him, twice.
Hou aku la o Saula i ka ihe, i iho la, E pepehi aku au ia Davida a i ka paia. Elua ko Davida alo ana mai ona aku la.
12 And Saul feared because of David, —for Yahweh was with him, whereas, from Saul, he had departed.
Makau ae la o Saula ia Davida, no ka mea, me ia no o Iehova, a ua haalele aku la ia Saula.
13 So Saul removed him from him, and appointed him to be for him the captain of a thousand, —and he went out and came in before the people.
No ia mea, hoonoho aku la o Saula ia ia mai ona aku la, a hoolilo ia ia i lunatausani nona; a hele aku la ia a hoi mai imua o na kanaka.
14 And it came to pass that David, in all his ways, acted prudently, —and, Yahweh, was with him.
Ua naauao o Davida ma kona aoao a pau; a me ia no o Iehova.
15 And, when Saul saw that, he, was acting very prudently, he was afraid of him.
A ike aku la o Saula i kona naauao loa, makau no oia ia ia.
16 But, all Israel and Judah, were in love with David, —for he was going out and coming in before them.
Aka, o ka Iseraela a pau a me ka Iuda, aloha lakou ia Davida, no ka mea, hele aku no ia a hoi mai imua o lakou.
17 So then Saul said unto David—Lo! my elder daughter Merab, her, will I give thee to wife, only, approve thyself unto me as a son of valour and fight the battles of Yahweh. Saul, however, had said to himself—Let not, my own hand, be upon him, but let, the hand of the Philistines, be upon him.
Olelo aku la o Saula ia Davida, Aia hoi, o ka'u kaikamahine mua, o Meraba, oia ka'u e haawi aku i wahine nau, ke ikaika oe no'u, a ke kaua aku i na kaua o Iehova: i iho la o Saula, Aole maluna ona ko'u lima iho, aka, maluna ona ka lima o ko Pilisetia.
18 And David said unto Saul—Who am, I, or who are my kinsfolk, the family of my father, in Israel, —that I should become son-in-law, to the king?
I aku la o Davida ia Saula, Owai la owau? a heaha hoi ko'u ola, a me ko ka hale o ko'u makuakane iwaena o ka Iseraela, i lilo ai au i hunonakane na ke alii.
19 But it came to pass, within the time for giving Merab daughter of Saul to David, that, she, was given to Adriel the Meholathite, to wife.
A i ka manawa e pono ai ke haawiia'ku ai o Meraba, ke kaikamahine a Saula, na Davida, ua haawiia oia na Aderiela, no Mehola, i wahine nana.
20 Then did Michal, Saul’s daughter, love David, —and it was told Saul, and the thing was right in his eyes.
A o Mikala, ke kaikamahine a Saula, aloha no oia ia Davida: a hai aku la lakou ia Saula, a ua pono ia mea i kona maka.
21 And Saul said to himself—I will give her unto him, that she may prove to him a snare, and that, the hand of the Philistines, may be upon him. So then Saul said unto David, A second time, mayest thou become my son-in-law to-day.
I aku la o Saula, E haawi aku au ia ia nana, i lilo ai ia i mea hihia nona, a i ku e mai ai ka lima o ko Pilisetia ia ia. I aku la o Saula ia Davida, E lilo mai oe i keia la i hunonakane na'u ma kekahi o laua.
22 And Saul commanded his servants—Speak ye unto David quietly saying, Lo! the king delighteth in thee, and, all his servants, love thee, —now, therefore, become thou son-in-law to the king.
Kauoha aku la o Saula i kana poe kauwa, E kamailio malu oukou me Davida, e i aku, Aia hoi, ua oluolu ke alii ia oe, a ua aloha hoi kana poe kauwa a pau ia oe; ano hoi, e hooliloia oe i hunonakane na ke alii.
23 And the servants of Saul spake, in the ears of David, these words. And David said—Seemeth it a light thing, in your eyes, to become son-in-law to the king, seeing that, I, am a poor man and lightly esteemed?
Hai aku la na kauwa a Saula i keia mau olelo ma ka pepeiao o Davida. I mai la o Davida, He mea uuku anei i ko oukou maka, ke lilo i hunonakane na ke alii, he kanaka ilihune wau, a he mea i manao ole ia?
24 So the servants of Saul told him, saying, —According to these words, spake David,
Hai aku la na kauwa a Saula ia ia, i aku la, Me keia mau olelo i olelo mai ai o Davida.
25 Then said Saul—Thus, shall ye say unto David—The king hath no delight in purchase-price, but rather in a hundred foreskins of Philistines, by avenging himself on the enemies of the king. But, Saul, thought to let David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
I aku la o Saula, Peneia oukou e olelo aku ai ia Davida, Aole makemake ke alii i ka uku, aka, i hookahi haneri omaka o na Pilisetia, i mea e hoopai aku ai i na enemi o ke alii. Manao iho la o Saula e haule ana o Davida ma ka lima o na Pilisetia.
26 So, when his servants told David these words, the thing was right in the eyes of David, to become son-in-law unto the king, —and the days had not expired.
A hai aku la na kauwa ana i keia mau olelo ia Davida, ua pono ia mea i na maka o Davida i ka lilo i hunonakane na ke alii; aole hoi i pau na la.
27 Wherefore David arose, and went—he and his men, and smote among the Philistines two hundred men, and David brought in their foreskins, and gave them in full tale unto the king, that he might become son-in-law unto the king, and Saul gave him Michal his daughter, to wife.
Ku ae la o Davida, a hele aku la, oia me kona poe kanaka, a pepehi aku la i elua haneri kanaka o na Pilisetia; a lawe mai o Davida i ko lakou omaka, a haawi lakou ia mau mea a pau i ke alii, i mea e lilo ai oia i hunonakane na ke alii: a haawi aku la o Saula ia Mikala, i kana kaikamahine, i wahine nana.
28 And Saul saw and knew that, Yahweh, was with David, and that, all Israel, loved him.
Nana aku la o Saula, a ike hoi, aia no o Iehova me Davida, a o Mikala ke kaikamahine a Saula, ua aloha aku oia ia ia.
29 So then Saul went on to fear because of David, yet more, —and it came to pass that Saul was hostile to David, all the days.
A nui loa ae la ka makau o Saula ia Davida, a lilo o Saula i ko Davida enemi i na la a pau.
30 And, when the princes of the Philistines came forth, so it was, that, as often as they came forth, David was more circumspect than any of the servants of Saul, so that his name was, precious exceedingly.
A hele aku la na'lii o na Pilisetia: a mai ka manawa o ko lakou hele ana'ku, ua oi aku ka naauao o Davida i ko na kauwa a pau a Saula; no ia mea, ua manao nui ia kona inoa.
