1 Samuel 18
1 And it was when finished he to speak to Saul and [the] self of Jonathan it was bound with [the] self of David (and he loved him *Q(k)*) Jonathan like own self his.
Thuutha wa Daudi kũrĩĩkia kwaria na Saũlũ, Jonathani akiumĩrania ngoro na Daudi, akĩmwenda o ta ũrĩa eyendete we mwene.
2 And he took him Saul on the day that and not he permitted him to return [the] house of father his.
Kuuma mũthenya ũcio Saũlũ akĩiga Daudi gwake na ndaarekire acooke kũinũka mũciĩ gwa ithe.
3 And he made Jonathan and David a covenant in love his him like own self his.
Nake Jonathani akĩgĩa kĩrĩkanĩro na Daudi nĩ ũndũ nĩamwendete o ta ũrĩa eyendete we mwene.
4 And he stripped himself Jonathan the robe which [was] on him and he gave it to David and garments his and to sword his and to bow his and to belt his.
Jonathani akĩruta nguo ĩrĩa ndaaya yake ya igũrũ ĩrĩa eehumbĩte akĩmĩhe Daudi, hamwe na kanjũ yake, na rũhiũ rwake rwa njora, na ũta wake na mũcibi wake.
5 And he went out David in every where he sent him Saul he prospered and he appointed him Saul over [the] men of war and it was good in [the] eyes of all the people and also in [the] eyes of [the] servants of Saul.
Ũrĩa wothe Saũlũ aatũmaga Daudi ageeke, nĩawĩkaga ũkagaacĩra, nginya Saũlũ akĩmũtua mũrũgamĩrĩri mũnene wa mbũtũ cia ita. Ũndũ ũcio ũgĩkenia andũ othe, na ũgĩkenia anene a Saũlũ o nao.
6 And it was when came they when returned David from striking down the Philistine and they came out the women from all [the] cities of Israel (to sing *Q(k)*) and the dancing to meet Saul the king with tambourines with joy and with three-stringed instruments.
Rĩrĩa andũ mainũkaga, thuutha wa Daudi kũũraga Mũfilisti ũcio-rĩ, andũ-a-nja makiuma matũũra-inĩ mothe ma Isiraeli makĩinaga na makĩrũgarũgaga, nĩguo magatũnge Mũthamaki Saũlũ marĩ na tũhembe na inanda makĩinaga nyĩmbo cia gĩkeno.
7 And they sang the women who were playing and they said he has struck down Saul (thousands his *Q(K)*) and David ten thousands his.
Makĩrũgarũgaga, makĩina atĩrĩ: “Saũlũ nĩeyũragĩire andũ ngiri nyingĩ, nake Daudi akeyũragĩra andũ ngiri makũmi maingĩ.”
8 And it burned to Saul exceedingly and it was displeasing in view his the matter this and he said they have ascribed to David ten thousands and to me they have ascribed the thousands and yet for him only the kingship.
Saũlũ nĩarakarire mũno; ikũngũiya rĩu rĩkĩmũiguithia ũiru mũno. Agĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Marahe Daudi ũhootani wa kũũraga andũ ngiri makũmi maingĩ, no niĩ ngooraga o ngiri nini. Agĩtigĩtie ũndũ ũngĩ ũrĩkũ, tiga kwĩyoera ũthamaki?”
9 And he was Saul (looking at *Q(K)*) David from the day that and onwards.
Na kuuma hĩndĩ ĩyo Saũlũ akĩambĩrĩria kũiguĩra Daudi ũiru na kũmwĩkũũa.
10 And it was from [the] next day and it rushed a spirit of God - evil - to Saul and he prophesied in [the] midst of the house and David [was] playing an instrument with hand his as a day - in a day and the spear [was] in [the] hand of Saul.
Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ roho mũũru uumĩte kũrĩ Ngai ũgĩũka na hinya mũno igũrũ rĩa Saũlũ. Nake akĩambĩrĩria kwaria ta mũgũrũki arĩ nyũmba yake thĩinĩ, Daudi aahũũraga kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto, o ta ũrĩa aamenyerete gwĩka. Saũlũ aarĩ na itimũ guoko,
11 And he threw Saul the spear and he said I will strike David and the wall and he went around David from before him two times.
nake akĩmũikĩria, eĩĩrĩte atĩrĩ, “Ngũtheecithania Daudi na rũthingo.” Nowe Daudi akĩmweherera maita meerĩ akiuma harĩ we.
12 And he was afraid Saul from to before David for he was Yahweh with him and from with Saul he had turned aside.
Saũlũ nĩetigĩrĩte Daudi, nĩ ũndũ Jehova aarĩ hamwe na Daudi, no nĩatiganĩirie Saũlũ.
13 And he removed him Saul from with him and he appointed him for himself a commander of a thousand and he went out and he came before the people.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩeheria Daudi harĩ we akĩmũtua mũnene wa thigari ngiri, nake Daudi agatongoragia mbũtũ icio kũu ita-inĩ ciao.
14 And he was David to all (ways his *Q(K)*) successful and Yahweh [was] with him.
Ũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ekaga nĩwagaacagĩra, nĩ ũndũ Jehova aarĩ hamwe nake.
15 And he saw Saul that he [was] successful exceedingly and he was afraid of him.
Rĩrĩa Saũlũ onire ũrĩa Daudi aagacĩire, akĩmwĩtigĩra.
16 And all Israel and Judah [were] loving David for he [was] going out and [was] coming before them.
No andũ othe a Isiraeli na Juda nĩmendete Daudi nĩ ũndũ nĩamatongoragia kũu ita-inĩ ciao.
17 And he said Saul to David here! daughter my elder Merab her I will give to you to a wife only become of me a son of strength and fight [the] battles of Yahweh and Saul he said may not it be hand my on him and let it be on him [the] hand of [the] Philistines.
Saũlũ akĩĩra Daudi atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩ Merabu, mũirĩtu wakwa ũrĩa mũkũrũ. Nĩwe ngũkũhe ũmũhikie; wee ndungatĩra na ũcamba, na ũhũũrane mbaara cia Jehova.” Nĩ ũndũ Saũlũ eĩĩrire atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndikũmũũkĩrĩra na guoko gwakwa. Afilisti nĩ meke ũguo arĩ o!”
18 And he said David to Saul who? [am] I and who? [are] kinsfolk my [the] clan of father my in Israel that I will be a son-in-law of the king.
No Daudi akĩĩra Saũlũ atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ngĩrĩ ũ, nayo nyũmba yakwa kana mũhĩrĩga wa baba thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli, ũkĩrĩ kĩ, atĩ nĩguo niĩ nduĩke mũthoni-we wa mũthamaki?”
19 And it was at [the] time gave Merab [the] daughter of Saul to David and she she was given to Adriel the Meholathite to a wife.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rĩrĩa ihinda rĩakinyire rĩa Merabu, mwarĩ wa Saũlũ kũnengerwo Daudi-rĩ, akĩneanwo ahikio nĩ Adirieli wa Mehola.
20 And she loved Michal [the] daughter of Saul David and people told to Saul and it was pleasing the matter in view his.
Na rĩrĩ, Mikali mwarĩ wa Saũlũ nĩendeete Daudi, na rĩrĩa meerire Saũlũ ũhoro ũcio, agĩkena.
21 And he said Saul I will give her to him so she may become for him a snare so it may be on him [the] hand of [the] Philistines and he said Saul to David in two [times] you will be a son-in-law to me this day.
Nake agĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũmũhe we, nĩguo atuĩke mũtego harĩ we nĩguo guoko kwa Afilisti kũmũũkĩrĩre.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Saũlũ akĩĩra Daudi atĩrĩ, “Rĩu ũrĩ na mweke wa keerĩ wa gũtuĩka mũthoni wakwa.”
22 And he commanded Saul (servants his *Q(K)*) speak to David in secrecy saying here! he delights in you the king and all servants his they love you and therefore be son-in-law to the king.
Ningĩ Saũlũ agĩatha ndungata ciake, agĩciĩra atĩrĩ, “Arĩriai Daudi keheri-inĩ, mũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Atĩrĩrĩ, mũthamaki nĩakenetio nĩwe na ndungata ciake ciothe nĩikwendete; rĩu gĩtuĩke mũthoni-we.’”
23 And they spoke [the] servants of Saul in [the] ears of David the words these and he said David ¿ trifling in view your [is] to be son-in-law to the king and I [am] a man poor and lightly esteemed.
Nao magĩcookera ciugo icio kũrĩ Daudi. No Daudi akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũgwĩciiria nĩ ũndũ mũnini gũtuĩka mũthoni-we wa mũthamaki? Niĩ ndĩ mũndũ mũthĩĩni na ndiũĩkaine.”
24 And they told [the] servants of Saul to him saying according to the words these he spoke David.
Rĩrĩa ndungata cia Saũlũ ciamwĩrire ũrĩa Daudi oiga-rĩ,
25 And he said Saul thus you will say to David not delight [belongs] to the king in bride-price for for a hundred foreskins of Philistines to avenge himself on [the] enemies of the king and Saul he planned to make fall David by [the] hand of [the] Philistines.
Saũlũ agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩrai Daudi atĩrĩ, ‘Mũthamaki ndekwenda irĩhi rĩngĩ o rĩothe rĩa rũracio o tiga ikonde cia nyama igana cia Afilisti, nĩguo arĩhĩrio kũrĩ thũ ciake.’” Mũbango wa Saũlũ warĩ atĩ Daudi oragwo nĩ Afilisti.
26 And they told servants his to David the words these and it was pleasing the matter in [the] eyes of David to be son-in-law to the king and not they were completed the days.
Rĩrĩa ndungata cierire Daudi maũndũ macio-rĩ, Daudi agĩkenio nĩ ũhoro wa gũtuĩka mũthoni-we wa mũthamaki. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mbere ya ihinda rĩrĩa rĩaheanĩtwo rĩtanathira-rĩ,
27 And he arose David and he went - he and men his and he struck down among the Philistines two hundred man and he brought David foreskins their and people gave in full them to the king to be son-in-law to the king and he gave to him Saul Michal daughter his to a wife.
Daudi na andũ ake makiumagara, makĩũraga Afilisti magana meerĩ. Akĩrehe ikonde ciao cia nyama na agĩcineana ciothe kũrĩ mũthamaki nĩgeetha atuĩke mũthoni-we. Saũlũ agĩcooka akĩmũnengera Mikali mũirĩtu wake nĩguo amũhikie.
28 And he saw Saul and he knew that Yahweh [was] with David and Michal [the] daughter of Saul she loved him.
Rĩrĩa Saũlũ aamenyire atĩ Jehova aarĩ hamwe na Daudi, na atĩ mwarĩ Mikali nĩendeete Daudi rĩ,
29 And he increased Saul to be afraid of David again and he was Saul an enemy David all the days.
Saũlũ agĩkĩrĩrĩria kũmwĩtigĩra, nake agĩtũũra arĩ thũ yake matukũ make marĩa maatigaire.
30 And they went out [the] commanders of [the] Philistines and it was - as often as went out they he was successful David more than all [the] servants of Saul and it was esteemed name his exceedingly.
Anene a ita cia Afilisti magĩthiĩ o na mbere mbaara-inĩ, na o rĩrĩa rĩothe meekaga ũguo, Daudi agĩthiĩ na mbere kũgĩa na ũhootani gũkĩra anene acio angĩ a Saũlũ, narĩo rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩkĩmenyeka mũno.
