1 Samuel 18
1 When he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
Ke tari sramsram lal Saul ac David, na Jonathan, wen natul Saul, el mutawauk in arulana lungse David. Lungse lal Jonathan nu sel David arulana yohk, oana ke el lungse el sifacna.
2 Saul took him that day, and wouldn’t let him go home to his father’s house any more.
Mutawauk ke len sac fahla, Saul el sap David elan mutana yorol ac tia fuhlella elan som nu yen sel ah.
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
Jonathan el orala fulahk lal tuh el David ac fah kawuk nwe tok, mweyen el lungse David na pwaye.
4 Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David with his clothing, even including his sword, his bow, and his sash.
Jonathan el sarukla nuknuk lal ac sang nu sel David, wi nuknuk in mweun lal, ac cutlass natul, ac pisr natul, ac pel lal.
5 David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely; and Saul set him over the men of war. It was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.
Ma nukewa Saul el supwal David nu kac el orala ke insianaung ac wo ouiya. Ke ma inge Saul el oru tuh David elan sie mwet kol lun un mwet mweun lal, ac mwet pwapa ac mwet kulansap nukewa lal Saul elos insewowo kacl.
6 As they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music.
Ke David el foloko tukun el unilya Goliath, ac ke mwet mweun elos wi pac foloko nu yen selos, mutan in siti nukewa in acn Israel elos tuku in paingul Tokosra Saul. Elos engan ac on, ac elos tacn ac srital ke mwe srital tambourine ac lyre.
7 The women sang to one another as they played, and said, “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.”
Kutu kas ke on in kaksak lalos an fahk ouinge, “Saul el uniya tausin, a David el uniya ngoul tausin.”
8 Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him. He said, “They have credited David with ten thousands, and they have only credited me with thousands. What can he have more but the kingdom?”
Saul el tia lungse kas inge, ac el mutawauk in kasrkusrak. El fahk, “Mwet uh fahk mu David el uniya ngoul tausin a nga tausin na. Ac tia paht na elos ac oru David elan tokosra!”
9 Saul watched David from that day and forward.
In len sac me, Saul el sok ac sensen na sel David.
10 On the next day, an evil spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the middle of the house. David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;
In len tok ah, sie ngun koluk sin God me sifil sikyang nu sel Saul, ac el kasrkusrak ac kunaus lohm sel oana mwet wel se. David el muta srital ke harp, oana ke el muta oru len nukewa. Ac Saul el sruok osra soko inpaol.
11 and Saul threw the spear, for he said, “I will pin David to the wall!” David escaped from his presence twice.
Saul el sifacna nunku insial, “Nga ac faksilya David nu ke pesinka in lohm uh.” Na el faksel David ke osra soko ah pacl luo, a David el iwalla kewa.
12 Saul was afraid of David, because Yahweh was with him, and had departed from Saul.
Saul el sangeng sel David mweyen LEUM GOD El welul David a El som lukel Saul.
13 Therefore Saul removed him from his presence, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
Na Saul el supwalla David ac sapkin tuh elan mwet kol fin sie tausin mwet mweun. David el kol mwet lal inge nu ke mweun,
14 David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and Yahweh was with him.
ac wo ouiyen ma nukewa el oru, mweyen LEUM GOD El welul.
15 When Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
Ke Saul el liye lah David el orala ma nukewa wo, el sifil sangeng sel yohk liki meet.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
Tusruktu mwet nukewa in Israel ac Judah elos lungse David ke sripen el mwet kol na wowo se.
17 Saul said to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab. I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight Yahweh’s battles.” For Saul said, “Don’t let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”
Na Saul el fahk nu sel David, “Acn se nutik ma matu pa inge. El pa Merab. Nga ac eisalot tuh elan mutan kiom. Tuh ma se na, wulela nu sik lah kom ac fah kulansupweyu ke pwaye ac pulaik, oayapa kom fah mweun ke mweun lun LEUM GOD.” (Saul el oru nunak se inge tuh mwet Philistia in mau unilya David, ac in tia el pa sifacna unilya.)
18 David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?”
Ac David el fahk, “Ku su nga uh, ac su sou luk uh, ku nga in wen talupan tokosra?”
19 But at the time when Merab, Saul’s daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.
Tusruktu, ke pacl fal tuh Merab elan itukyang nu sel David, Saul el eisalang nu sin sie pacna mukul pangpang Adriel, sie mwet Meholah.
20 Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
Sie pac acn natul Saul uh pa Michal, ac el lungse David. Ke Saul el lohng, el engan kac.
21 Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Therefore Saul said to David a second time, “You shall today be my son-in-law.”
El sifacna fahk insial, “Nga ac eisalang Michal kial David. Nga fah oru tuh elan sie mwe kwasrip nu sel David, ac David el ac fah anwuki sin mwet Philistia.” Pa inge pacl se akluo Saul el fahk nu sel David, “Kom ac fah wen talupuk.”
22 Saul commanded his servants, “Talk with David secretly, and say, ‘Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore be the king’s son-in-law.’”
Ac Saul el sap mwet pwapa lal in som sramsram lukma nu sel David ac fahk nu sel, “Tokosra el insewowo sum, ac mwet pwapa nukewa elos lungse kom. Inge pacl na wo nu sum tuh kom in payukyak sin acn se natul tokosra.”
23 Saul’s servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said, “Does it seem to you a light thing to be the king’s son-in-law, since I am a poor man and little known?”
Na mwet inge elos fahkang kas se inge nu sel David. Ac David el topuk, “Tia ma pilasr se tuh sie mwet in payuk sin acn nutin tokosra. Sie mwet lusrongten ac sukasrup oana nga, ac tuh arulana kupansuwol.”
24 The servants of Saul told him, saying, “David spoke like this.”
Na mwet pwapa elos tafweang kas lal David inge nu sel Saul,
25 Saul said, “Tell David, ‘The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies.’” Now Saul thought he would make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
ac Saul el sapkin tuh elos in fahkang nu sel David, “Pwayena ma tokosra el enenu sum in sang moli acn se natul ah, pa kulun ma lun mukul siofok ma misa lun mwet Philistia, tuh in mwe foloksak lal nu sin mwet lokoalok lal.” (Saul el oru pwapa lukma se inge tuh mwet Philistia in mau unilya David.)
26 When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son-in-law. Before the deadline,
Ke mwet pwapa lal Saul elos fahkang kas lal inge nu sel David, na David el engan lah el ac wen talupal tokosra. Meet liki len in marut,
27 David arose and went, he and his men, and killed two hundred men of the Philistines. Then David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Michal his daughter as wife.
David el eis mwet lal som ac uniya mwet Philistia luofoko. El eisla kulun ma mukul kaclos ac usla nu yorol tokosra, ac oakla nufon ye mutal in akfalye tuh elan wen talupal. Ke ma inge, Saul el enenu na elan eisalang Michal, acn natul, tuh elan payuk sel David.
28 Saul saw and knew that Yahweh was with David; and Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved him.
Saul el akilen na lah LEUM GOD El welul David, oayapa el akilen lah Michal, acn natul, el lungse David.
29 Saul was even more afraid of David; and Saul was David’s enemy continually.
Ke ma inge, Saul el arulana sangeng sel David yohk liki meet, ac el mwet lokoalok lal David in lusen moul lal tok nufon.
30 Then the princes of the Philistines went out; and as often as they went out, David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, so that his name was highly esteemed.
Ke un mwet mweun lun mwet Philistia elos ac tuku mweun, pacl nukewa David el ac kutangulosla yohk liki na mwet kol saya lal Saul uh. Ke sripa se inge, David el mutawauk in arulana pwengpeng.
