1 Samuel 19
1 Then spake Saul unto Jonathan his son, and unto all his servants, that they should put David to death;
Sọl gwara ndị ohu ya na ọkpara ya, Jonatan, ka ha gbuo Devid. Ma nʼihi na ihe banyere Devid masịrị Jonatan,
2 but, Jonathan, Saul’s son, delighted in David, exceedingly, —so Jonathan told David, saying, Saul, my father, is seeking to put thee to death, —now, therefore, take heed to thyself I pray thee, in the morning, and abide thou in concealment, and hide thyself;
ọ dọrọ ya aka na ntị, “Nna m Sọl na-achọ ohere igbu gị. Lezie anya chee ndụ gị nche, ụtụtụ echi, gaa nʼebe ị ga-ezo onwe gị nọdụ nʼebe ahụ.
3 and, I, will come out and stand beside my father, in the field where, thou, art, and, I, will speak of thee unto my father, —and, if I see aught, I will tell thee.
Mụ na nna m ga-eso bịa nʼakụkụ ọhịa ebe ahụ i zoro onwe gị. Aga m agwa ya okwu banyere gị. Ihe ọbụla m chọpụtara, aga m agwa gị.”
4 So then Jonathan spake of David things that were good, unto Saul his father, —and said unto him—May the king not sin against his servant—against David; for he hath not sinned against, thee, nay, indeed, his doings have been good to theeward exceedingly.
Jonatan kwuru okwu ọma banyere Devid nye Sọl nna ya sị ya, “Ka eze ghara ime ihe ọjọọ megide Devid bụ ohu ya. O nwebeghị ihe ọjọọ o mere gị. Nʼezie, ihe niile o mere bụ ihe baara gị uru nke ukwuu.
5 And, when he put his life in his hand, and smote the Philistine, and Yahweh wrought a great victory for all Israel, thou sawest, and didst rejoice. Wherefore, then, shouldst thou sin against innocent blood by putting David to death, without cause?
Ọ kpọrọ ndụ ya asị mgbe o gburu onye Filistia ahụ. Onyenwe anyị nyekwara ndị Izrel niile mmeri dị ukwuu. Obi dịkwa gị ụtọ mgbe ị hụrụ nke a. Gịnị mekwaranụ i ga-eji mejọọ nwoke aka ya dị ọcha dịka Devid, site nʼigbu ya ebe ọ bụ na ikpe amaghị ya?”
6 And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan, —and Saul sware, By the life of Yahweh, he shall not be put to death!
Sọl ṅara Jonatan ntị ṅụọkwa iyi sị, “Dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, agaghị egbu ya.”
7 And Jonathan called for David, and Jonathan told him all these things, —and Jonathan brought in David unto Saul, and so he was in his presence, as aforetime.
Emesịa, Jonatan kpọrọ Devid gwa ya ihe mere. Jonatan duuru Devid gaa nʼihu Sọl. Ihe niile dizikwara dịka ọ dị na mbụ.
8 But, when the war again brake out, —and David went forth and fought with the Philistines, and smote them with a great smiting, and they fled before him,
Agha ọzọ dakwara. Nʼoge a, Devid duuru ndị agha ya pụọ ibuso ndị Filistia agha. O gburu ọtụtụ nʼime ha, chụọkwa ndị agha Filistia ọsọ.
9 then came there a sad spirit of Yahweh unto Saul, he being in his house, seated, with his spear in his hand, —while, David, played with his hand,
Ma mmụọ ọjọọ Onyenwe anyị zitere bịakwasịrị Sọl dịka ọ nọ nʼime ụlọ ya, ùbe ya dịkwa ya nʼaka. Mgbe Devid na-akpọ nʼụbọ akwara,
10 Saul sought to smite David with the spear, even to the wall, but he slipped away from before Saul, who smote the spear into the wall, —whereas, David, fled and escaped, that night.
Sọl tụrụ ùbe ahụ ka ọ tugbuo Devid nʼahụ aja, ma ọ gbapụrụ site nʼihu Sọl, ma ùbe ahụ manyere nʼaja ụlọ ahụ. Devid gbapụrụ ọsọ zoo onwe ya nʼabalị ahụ.
11 And Saul sent messengers unto David’s house, to watch him, and to put him to death, in the morning! And Michal his wife told David, saying, If thou do not deliver thyself to-night, to-morrow, art thou to be put to death.
Sọl zipụrụ ndị agha ka ha chee ụlọ Devid nche, gbuo ya mgbe ọ pụtara nʼụtụtụ. Ma Mikal nwunye Devid gwara ya sị, “Ọ bụrụ na ị gbapụghị, zoo onwe gị nʼabalị a, onye nwụrụ anwụ ka ị ga-abụ nʼụtụtụ echi.”
12 So Michal let down David, through the window, and he departed and fled, and escaped.
Ya mere, Mikal sitere na oghereikuku wetuo Devid, ebe o si gbapụ.
13 And Michal took the household god, and put it in the bed, and, a fly-net of goat’s-hair, put she at its head, —and covered it with the clothes.
Emesịa, Mikal kwagharịrị ihe ndina Devid, were ihe a kpụrụ akpụ tụkwasị nʼelu ya, werekwa akwa kpuchie ya, tinye ihe ajị ewu nʼebe isi ya.
14 And, when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said—He is, sick.
Mgbe ndị agha ahụ bịaruru ijide Devid na ịkpụgara ya Sọl, Mikal gwara ha sị, “Ahụ esighị ya ike.”
15 So Saul sent messengers to see David, saying, —Bring him up in the bed unto me, that I may put him to death.
Mgbe ahụ, Sọl zighachiri ndị ahụ azụ nʼebe Devid nọ si ha, “Bute ya na ihe ndina o dina nʼelu ya, ka m gbuo ya.”
16 And, when the messengers entered, lo! the household god in the bed, —with a fly-net of goat’s-hair at its head.
Mgbe ndị ikom ahụ batara, ha hụrụ ihe a kpụrụ akpụ ka ọ dị nʼelu ihe ndina, hụkwa ajị ewu ka ọ dị nʼakụkụ ebe isi nke ihe ndina ahụ.
17 And Saul said unto Michal—Wherefore, in this way, hast thou deceived me, and let go mine enemy, that he hath escaped? Then said Michal unto Saul, He, himself, said unto me—Let me go, wherefore should I put thee to death?
Sọl jụrụ Mikal sị, “Gịnị mere i ji ghọgbuo m otu a, mee ka onye iro m gbalaga?” Mikal zara, “Ọ bụ ya sịrị m, ‘Hapụ m ka m pụọ, nʼihi gịnị ka m ga-eji gbuo gị?’”
18 So, David, fled, and escaped, and came in unto Samuel in Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him, —and he and Samuel departed, and dwelt in Naioth.
Mgbe Devid gbara ọsọ gbalaga, ọ gakwuru Samuel na Rema, kọrọ ya ihe niile Sọl mere ya. Ya na Samuel gara biri na Naịọt.
19 And it was told Saul, saying, —Lo! David, is in Naioth, in Ramah.
Ozi ruru Sọl ntị, “Devid nọ na Naịọt nʼime Rema,”
20 So Saul sent messengers to take David, but, when they saw the assembly of prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, then came the Spirit of God upon the messengers of Saul, and, they also, were, moved to prophesy.
ya mere, o zipụrụ ndị ikom ka ha gaa jide ya. Ma mgbe ha rutere, ha hụrụ otu ndị amụma ka ha na-ebu amụma, hụkwa Samuel ka ọ na-eguzo nʼebe ahụ dịka onyeisi ha. Mmụọ nke Chineke bịakwasịrị ndị ozi Sọl ahụ, mee ka ha malitekwa ibu amụma.
21 And, when they told Saul, and he sent other messengers, then were, they also, moved to prophesy. And, when Saul again sent messengers a third time, then were, they also, moved to prophesy.
Mgbe Sọl nụrụ ihe mere, o zipụkwara ndị agha ọzọ, ma ha onwe ha bukwara amụma! Otu ihe ahụ mekwara ndị o zipụrụ nke ugboro atọ.
22 Then went, he also himself, to Ramah, and came in as far as the well of the threshing-floor which is in Sephi, and asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said—Lo! in Naioth, in Ramah.
Nʼikpeazụ ya onwe ya pụrụ gaa Rema, ruo nʼolulu mmiri Seku. Ọ jụrụ, “Ebee ka Samuel na Devid nọ?” Ha sịrị, “Ha nọ na Naịọt nke Rema.”
23 And, when he departed from thence towards Naioth in Ramah, then came upon, him also, the Spirit of God, and he went on and on, and was moved to prophesy, until he entered Naioth in Ramah.
Ya mere, Sọl gara Naịọt nke dị na Rema. Ma Mmụọ nke Chineke bịakwasịrị ya, dịka ọ na-aga nʼụzọ ọ malitere ibu amụma tutu ruo mgbe ọ bịaruru Naịọt.
24 And, even he, stripped off his upper garments, and, even he, was moved to prophesy before Samuel, and lay prostrate, disrobed, all that day, and all the night. For this cause, do they say, Is, even Saul, among the prophets?
O yipụrụ uwe ya buo amụma nʼihu Samuel. Ọ gba ọtọ dinara ala nʼebe ahụ ehihie ahụ, na abalị ahụ niile. Ọ bụ nke a mere ndị mmadụ ji sị, “Sọl ọ ghọọla otu nʼime ndị amụma?”
