1 Samuel 24
1 After Saul [and his soldiers] returned [home] after fighting against the Philistia army, someone reported to Saul that David [and his men] had gone into the desert near En-Gedi.
Hagi Soli'ma Filistia vahe'ma ome zamarotago hige'za vazageno'a, henka mago'a vahe'mo'za eme asami'za, Deviti'a Engedi hagege kokampi frakino havegampi mani'ne hu'za hu'naze.
2 [When] Saul [heard that, he] chose 3,000 men from various areas in Israel, and they went to search for David and his men at a place named Rocks of Wild Goats.
Hagi Soli'a anankema nentahino'a, mika Israeli vahepintira 3 tauseni'a sondia vahe nezamavareno, Devitinku hake'naku Engedi hagege kokampina Afi Meme Afu'mofo Have nehazarega vu'naze.
3 At a place where the road was alongside some sheep pens, Saul [left the road and] entered a cave to defecate [EUP]. [He did not know that] David and his men were hiding further inside that same cave!
Hagi Soli naga'mo'za mago havegana me'negeno sipisipi kegava nehaza keganagante uhanati'naze. Hagi Solina rifagu avesigeno, arifa ome renaku ana have kampi ufre'ne. Hagi ana have kampina Deviti'ene agranema vanoma nehaza vahe'mo'za ogamanu'a mani'nageno Soli'a ufre'ne.
4 David’s men [saw Saul and] whispered to David, “Today is the day that Yahweh spoke about when he said, ‘I will enable you to defeat your enemy.’ You can do to him whatever you want to!” So David crept toward the entrance of the cave and [with his knife] he cut off a piece of Saul’s robe.
Ana hige'za Deviti'enema vu'naza vahe'mo'za nege'za anage hu'za Devitina asami'naze, Ama Ra Anumzamo'ma ha' vaheka'a mago kankamu retro huno kazampi avrentegahuema hu'nea kna fore nehie. Hazageno anante Deviti'a rerakaureno viazamo, Soli'a keno antahino osiaza, zaza kukena'amofona atupa'a ome taga hu'ne.
5 [And then he returned to his men]. But then David felt guilty for having cut off a piece of Saul’s robe.
Hagi anama huno Soli kukenama Deviti'a taga huteno'a, tusiza huno agesa nentahino asunku hu'ne.
6 He said to his men, “I should not have done that to the king! I hope/desire that Yahweh will never allow me to attack the one whom God has appointed, because Yahweh is the one who chose him [to be the king].”
Hagi Deviti'a agranema vu'naza vahera zamasamino, Ra Anumzamo'a hunagru huno anara osuo hu'neazanagi, Ra Anumzamo huhamprinte'nea ne' ranimofo kukena tagahue.
7 By saying that, David restrained his men, and did not allow them to kill Saul.
Anage nehuno Deviti'a agranema vu'naza vahera zamazeri korige'za, Solina hara hunte kea osu'naze. Hagi Soli'a otino ana havegana atreno atiramino nevigeno,
8 After Saul left the cave and started to walk on the road again, David came out of the cave and shouted to Saul, “King Saul!” Saul turned around and looked, and David bowed down with his face touching the ground.
Deviti'a otino ana have kampinti atiramino Solina kezatimino, ranimoka kini nere, higeno Soli'a rukrahe huno kegeno Deviti'a avugosaregati mopafi umaseno agi'a erisga hu'ne.
9 Then he said to Saul, “(Why do you pay attention to people when they say ‘David wants to harm you’?/You should not pay attention to people when they say ‘David wants to harm you’.) [RHQ]
Hagi Deviti'a keza atimino, Na'a higenka kagra Deviti'a hazenke kamiku neheke hu'za kasamiza vahe kea nentahine?
10 Today you can see with your own eyes that [what they say is not true]. Yahweh put you in a place where my men and I could have killed you when you were in this cave. Some of my men told me that I should do that, but I did not do that. I said to them, ‘I will not harm my master, because he is the king whom Yahweh appointed.’
Hagi havegampi kagrira menintfaza Ra Anumzamo'a nagri nazampina kavrenteanki ko. Mago'a nagrane mani'namo'za kagrikura ahefrio hu'za hazanagi, nasunku hugantena, ranimofona ohegosue hu'noe. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo huhamprinte'nea neki'na avakora osugahue hu'na hu'noe.
11 Your majesty, look at this piece of your robe that is in my hand! I cut it from your robe, but I did not kill you. So now you should be able to understand that I am not planning to do anything evil to you. I have not done anything wrong to you, but you are searching for me to kill me.
Hagi nafanimoka antahio, zaza kukenakamofo atupa'a taga hu'na nazampi e'nerina kahe ofri'noanki ama ko. E'inama hu'noa zamo'a nagra hararegante'na kahenakura nosue. Nagra mago kumira hu'na kagrira havizana huogante'noanagi, kagra nahenakura kafona antenka navaririnka vano nehane.
12 I hope/desire that Yahweh will judge and decide which of us ([is doing what is right/pleases him]). And I hope/desire that he will punish you for the wrong things that you have done to me. But I will not try to harm you.
Hagi Ra Anumzamo agrake taregamota'a refako huranteno, iza havizana nehie taregamota tagegahie. Hianagi nagra nazana erisga hu'na mago'zana kagri kavufarera osugahue.
13 There is a proverb that has the words, ‘Evil things are done by evil people.’ But [I am not evil, so] I will not do evil things to you.
Hagi koknafi knare antahi'zamofo nanekefina huno, kefo avu'vaza hu vahepintira kefo avu'avazamo efore hugahie huno hu'ne. Hianagi nagra nazana erisga hu'na mago'zana kagri kavufarera osugahue.
14 “You are the king of Israel. So (why are you pursuing me?/you should not be pursuing me.) [RHQ] I am [as harmless as] [MET] a dead dog or a flea.
Hagi nagra iza'na mani'nogenka, Israeli vahe kinimoka hara hunante'naku nehane? Na'ante knaka'a atrenka fri'nea kragna nehu'na, harukna hu'nomonagura nehakrane?
15 I hope/desire that Yahweh will judge which of us [is doing what (he wants/is right)]. I trust that he will [act like a lawyer and] judge (my case/what I have done), and that he will rescue me from your power [MTY].”
Atregeno Ra Anumzamo Agrake taregamota'a haviza hane, knare'za hane huno refko hurantegahie. Agrake ke'ni'a antahinenamino, tamage hunka fatgo hunane huno kagri kazampintira nagu'vazi'nie.
16 When David finished speaking, Saul [called out to him and] asked, “My son David, is that your voice [that I am hearing]?” Then he began to cry loudly.
Hagi Deviti'ma ana nanekema huvaretegeno'a Soli'a huno, ne'nimoka Devitiga kageru nentahufi? Anage nehuno Soli'a krafage huno zavi ate'ne.
17 He said, “You are a better man than I am. You have done something very good to me when I tried to do something very bad to you.
Ana huno zaviteteno Soli'a Devitinkura huno, Kagra nagaterenka fatgo kavukava hu'nananagi, nagra havi navu'nava hu'na kahe frinaku hu'noe.
18 When Yahweh put me in a place [in that cave] where you could have easily killed me, you did not do that.
Hagi knare zama hunenantana zamofona menintfa eri ama hane. Ra Anumzamo'a nahe friogu kagri kazampima navrentegenka knare kavukava hunka nahe ofri'nane.
19 (Who else would/No one else would) find his enemy and allow his enemy to escape [when he could kill him instead] [RHQ]. I hope/desire that Yahweh will reward you for being kindly to me today.
Hagi mago vahe'mo'ma ha' vahe'ama keno'a amane atregeno novianki ahenefrie. Hagi kagrama nagri'ma menima hunantana kavukavatera Ra Anumzamo asomura knare huno hugantesie.
20 I know that [some day] you will surely become the king, and that your kingdom will prosper as you rule the Israeli people.
Hagi nagrama tamage hu'na antahuana kagra kini mani'nankeno, Israeli vahe'mo'za kagri kazampi manigahaze.
21 Now while Yahweh is listening, solemnly promise to me that you will not kill my family and get rid of all my descendants.”
Hagi Ra Anumzamofo agifi huvempage hunka, henkama kini mani'nunka nagri nagara zamahe fanene nosu'na, kagripinti'ma fore hu anante anante'ma hanaza vahera zamahe fanane osugahue hunka nasamio.
22 David solemnly promised Saul that he would not [harm Saul’s family]. Then Saul went back home, and David and his men went back up into the place where they had been hiding.
Higeno Deviti'a Solina huvempage huntetegeno, Soli'a kuma'arega vu'ne. Hianagi Deviti'ene agranema vu'naza vahe'mo'za fra'maki'za mani'naza havegantega ete vu'naze.
