1 Samuel 20
1 And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what [is] my iniquity? and what [is] my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?
Na ka rere a Rawiri i Naioto o Rama, a ka tae, ka korero ki a Honatana, I aha ahau? he aha toku he? he aha hoki toku hara i te aroaro o tou papa, i whai ai ia kia whakamatea ahau?
2 And he said to him, Far be it from thee; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing, either great or small, but that he will show it to me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it [is] not [so].
Na ka mea tera ki a ia, Kahore rapea, e kore koe e mate; nana, e kore e meatia e toku papa tetahi mea, nui, iti ranei; ki te kahore e whakakitea mai e ia ki ahau: a he aha tenei mea e huna ai e toku papa i ahau? ehara tena.
3 And David swore moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thy eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he should be grieved: But truly [as] the LORD liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, [there is] but a step between me and death.
Na ka oati ano a Rawiri, ka mea, E tino mohio ana tou papa kua manakohia ahau e koe; koia ia i mea ia, Kei mohiotia tenei e Honatana, kei pouri ia: otiia e ora ana a Ihowa, e ora ana hoki tou wairua, he hikoinga kotahi noa ko te mate moku.
4 Then said Jonathan to David, Whatever thy soul desireth, I will even do [it] for thee.
Katahi a Honatana ka mea ki a Rawiri, He aha nei te mea e hiahiatia ana e tou wairua, ka meatia tonutia e ahau mau.
5 And David said to Jonathan, Behold, to morrow [is] the new-moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field to the third [day] at evening.
Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Honatana, Nana, apopo ka kowhiti te marama, a ko te tikanga kia noho tahi ai ahau me te kingi ki te kai; na tukua ahau kia haere, kia piri ai ahau ki te parae a te ahiahi ra ano o te toru o nga ra.
6 If thy father shall at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked [leave] of me, that he might run to Beth-lehem his city: for [there is] a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
Ki te ui ia tou papa mo toku ngaro, ko reira koe ka ki atu, I tono kaha a Rawiri ki ahau kia tukua ia kia rere ki tona pa, ki Peterehema: kei reira hoki te patunga tapu o te tau ma te hapu katoa.
7 If he shall say thus, [It is] well; thy servant will have peace: but if he shall be very wroth, [then] be sure that evil is determined by him.
Ki te penei mai tana ki, E pai ana; ka mau te rongo ki tau pononga: e nui rawa ia tona riri, katahi koe ka mohio kua takoto te kino i a ia.
8 Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee: notwithstanding, if there is in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldst thou bring me to thy father?
Na reira kia pai tau mahi ki tau pononga, nau nei hoki i mea tau pononga kia uru taua ki ta Ihowa kawenata. Otiia ki te mea he kino toku, mau ahau e whakamate; kia kawea atu hoki ahau e koe ki tou papa hei aha?
9 And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee: for if I knew certainly that evil is determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?
Na ka mea a Honatana, Kaua tena e meatia ki a koe: engari ki te mohio kau ahau kua takoto i toku papa kia whakapakia he kino ki a koe, e kore ianei e korerotia e ahau ki a koe?
10 Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what [if] thy father shall answer thee roughly?
Katahi a Rawiri ka mea ki a Honatana, Ma wai e korero ki ahau, ki te pakeke te kupu e whakahokia e tou papa ki a koe?
11 And Jonathan said to David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.
Ano ra ko Honatana ki a Rawiri, Haere mai, taua ka haere ki te parae. Na haere ana raua tokorua ki te parae.
12 And Jonathan said to David, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to-morrow any time, [or] the third [day], and behold, [if there be] good towards David, and I then send not to thee, and show it thee;
Na ka mea a Honatana ki a Rawiri, Ko Ihowa, ko te Atua o Iharaira, hei kaititiro; maku e rapu te whakaaro o toku papa i tenei wa pea apopo, i te toru ranei o nga ra: ki te mea he pai mo Rawiri, e kore ianei ahau e tuku tonu atu, e whakaatu ki a koe?
13 The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it shall please my father [to do] thee evil, then I will show it to thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and the LORD be with thee, as he hath been with my father.
Kia meatia tenei e Ihowa ki a Honatana, me etahi atu mea: pena he kino ta toku papa e pai ai mou, a ka kore ahau e whakaatu ki a koe, ka tuku i a koe kia haere i runga i te rangimarie: a kia noho a Ihowa ki a koe kia pera me ia i noho ki toku pa pa.
14 And thou shalt, not only while yet I live, show me the kindness of the LORD, that I may not die:
A kaua ano e waiho i toku oranga anake tau whakaputa i to Ihowa aroha ki ahau, kia kaua ahau e mate;
15 But [also] thou shalt not withdraw thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.
Kauaka ano hoki e hautopea atu tou aroha ki toku whare a ake ake: kauaka rawa, ina hautopea atu e Ihowa nga hoariri katoa o Rawiri i te mata o te whenua.
16 So Jonathan made [a covenant] with the house of David, [saying], Let the LORD even require [it] at the hand of David's enemies.
Heoi ka whakarite kawenata a Honatana ki te whare o Rawiri, ka mea, Kia rapu utu ano a Ihowa i te ringa o nga hoariri o Rawiri.
17 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
A i mea a Honatana kia oati ano a Rawiri; he aroha hoki nona ki a ia: i aroha hoki ia ki a ia, me te mea ko te aroha ki tona wairua ake.
18 Then Jonathan said to David, To-morrow [is] the new-moon: and thou wilt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.
Katahi a Honatana ka mea ki a ia, Apopo te kowhiti ai te marama; a ka kitea tou ngaromanga, ka takoto kau hoki tou nohoanga.
19 And [when] thou hast stayed three days, [then] thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was [in hand], and shalt remain by the stone Ezel.
A ka toru ou ra e noho ana, kia hohoro tou haere ki raro, a ka tae ki te wahi i piri ai koe i te ra i korerotia ai, a ka noho ki te taha o Etere kohatu.
20 And I will shoot three arrows on the side [of it], as though I shot at a mark.
A maku e kopere etahi pere kia toru ki tona taha, ano e kopere ana ki tetahi koperenga pere.
21 And behold, I will send a lad, [saying], Go, find the arrows. If I expressly say to the lad, Behold, the arrows [are] on this side of thee, take them; then come thou: for [there is] peace to thee, and no hurt; [as] the LORD liveth.
Na ka tono ahau i te tamaiti, Tikina, rapua nga pere. Ki te mea atu ahau ki te tamaiti, Nei na nga pere, kei tenei taha ou, tikina mai; katahi koe ka haere mai; e mau ana hoki te rongo ki a koe, kahore hoki he rawa, e ora ana a Ihowa.
22 But if I say thus to the young man, Behold, the arrows [are] beyond thee; go thy way: for the LORD hath sent thee away.
Ki te penei ia taku ki atu ki te tamaiti, Na, ko nga pere, kei tua atu i a koe: katahi koe ka haere atu: he mea tono hoki koe na Ihowa.
23 And [as to] the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD [be] between thee and me for ever.
Na, ko tenei mea i korerotia nei e taua, nana, kei waenganui i a taua a Ihowa a ake ake.
24 So David hid himself in the field: and when the new-moon had come, the king sat down to eat food.
Heoi piri ana a Rawiri ki te parae: a, i te kowhititanga o te marama ka noho te kingi ki te kai.
25 And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, [even] upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty.
A i te noho te kingi ki tona nohoanga o mua iho, ki te nohoanga i te pakitara: i whakatika ano hoki a Honatana, a ka noho a Apenere ki te taha o Haora; na e takoto kau ana to Rawiri wahi.
26 Nevertheless Saul spoke not any thing that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he [is] not clean; surely he [is] not clean.
Ahakoa ra kihai i puaki tetahi kupu a Haora i taua ra: i mea hoki ia, Kua pa tetahi mea ki a ia, kahore ano kia kore noa tona poke; ina kahore ano kia kore noa tona poke.
27 And it came to pass on the morrow, [which was] the second [day] of the month, that David's place was empty: and Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why cometh not the son of Jesse to eat, neither yesterday, nor to-day?
Na i te aonga ake, ara i te rua o nga ra o te marama, e takoto kau ana ano to Rawiri wahi. Na ka mea a Haora ki tana tama, ki a Honatana, Na te aha te tama a Hehe te haere mai ai ki te kai inanahi, inaianei?
28 And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked [leave] of me [to go] to Beth-lehem:
Na ka utua e Honatana ki a Haora, I tono kaha a Rawiri ki ahau kia tukua ia kia haere ki Peterehema:
29 And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother he hath commanded me [to be there]: and now if I have found favor in thy eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not to the king's table.
I mea mai hoki ia, Tukua ahau kia haere, he patunga tapu hoki ta to matou hapu i taua pa; na toku tuakana pu ano hoki ahau i poroaki mai: na ki te mea kua manakohia ahau e koe, tukua ahau kia rere atu kia kite i oku tuakana. Koia ia te haere mai ai ki te tepu a te kingi.
30 Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious [woman], do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thy own confusion, and to the confusion of thy mother's nakedness?
Ko te tino muranga o te riri o Haora ki a Honatana, ka mea ki a ia, E te tama a te wahine parori ke, tutu! Kahore ranei ahau i te mohio kua tango koe i te tama a Hehe, hei mea whakama ki a koe tonu, hei mea whakama hoki ki te hahaketanga o tou w haea?
31 For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the earth, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die.
I nga ra katoa e ora ai te tama a Hehe ki runga ki te whenua, e kore koe e tu, me tou rangatiratanga. Na, tonoa kia tikina ia ki ahau, kua tino takoto hoki te mate mona.
32 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, Why shall he be slain? what hath he done?
Na ka whakahoki a Honatana ki tona papa, ka mea ki a ia, Kia whakamatea ia mo te aha? i aha ia?
33 And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: by which Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to slay David.
Na ko te werohanga a Haora i te tao ki a ia, hei patu mona. Katahi a Honatana ka mohio kua takoto i tona papa te mate mo Rawiri.
34 So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.
Heoi ka whakatika atu a Honatana i te tepu, mura tonu hoki tona riri, kihai ano i kai i te rua o nga ra o te marama: i pouri hoki ia mo Rawiri, mona i meinga e tona papa kia whakama.
35 And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.
Na i te ata ka haere a Honatana ki te parae i te wa i whakaritea ki a Rawiri, raua ko tetahi tamaiti nohinohi.
36 And he said to his lad, Run, find now the arrows which I shoot. [And] as the lad ran, he shot an arrow, beyond him.
Na ka mea ia ki taua tamaiti, Rere atu ki te rapu i nga pere e koperea atu ana e ahau. Ko te rerenga atu o te tamaiti, na koperea atu ana e ia he pere ki ko noa atu i a ia.
37 And when the lad had come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, [Is] not the arrow beyond thee?
A, no te taenga atu o te tamaiti ki te wahi i te pere i koperea nei e Honatana, ka karanga a Honatana i muri i te tamaiti, ka mea, Kahore iana te pere i ko atu i a koe na?
38 And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
Na ka karanga ano a Honatana i muri i taua tamaiti, Kia kakama, kia hohoro, kaua e tu. Na kohikohia ana nga pere e te tamaiti a Honatana, a haere mai ana ki tona rangatira.
39 But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
Otiia kihai tetahi mea i mohiotia e taua tamaiti; engari a Honatana raua ko Rawiri, i mohio raua ki tona tikanga.
40 And Jonathan gave his arms to his lad, and said to him, Go, carry [them] to the city.
Na ka hoatu e Honatana ana patu ki tana tamaiti, ka mea ki a ia, Haere, kawea atu ki te pa.
41 [And] as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of [a place] towards the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
A, no te haerenga o taua tamaiti, na ka whakatika mai a Rawiri i te taha ki te tonga, a ka tapapa ki te whenua, e toru hoki ona pikonga iho. Na ka kihi raua i a raua, ka tangi hoki tetahi ki tetahi, a rahi noa ake ta Rawiri.
42 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.
Na ka mea a Honatana ki a Rawiri, Haere i runga i te rangimarie. Kua oati nei hoki taua i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, kua mea taua, Hei waenganui a Ihowa i a taua hei waenganui hoki i oku uri, i ou uri mo ake tonu atu. Na whakatika ana ia, a haere ana; ko Honatana hoki i haere ki te pa.
