1 Samuel 19
1 Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul’s son, greatly delighted in David.
Sauli anawuza mwana wake Yonatani ndi nduna zake zonse kuti aphe Davide. Koma Yonatani amamukonda kwambiri Davide.
2 Jonathan told David, saying, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Now therefore, please take care of yourself in the morning, live in a secret place, and hide yourself.
Choncho anawuza Davide kuti, “Abambo anga Sauli akufuna kukupha. Tsono uchenjere. Mmawa upite ukabisale ndipo ukakhale komweko.
3 I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will talk with my father about you; and if I see anything, I will tell you.”
Ine ndidzapita ndi kukayima pafupi ndi abambo anga ku munda kumene iwe ukabisale. Ndipo ndidzayankhula ndi abambo anga za iwe ndipo chilichonse chimene ndikamve ndidzakuwuza.”
4 Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Don’t let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you;
Tsono Yonatani anakanena zabwino za Davide kwa abambo ake Sauli ndipo anati, “Mfumu musachimwire mtumiki wanu Davide, sanakuchimwireni, koma amakuchitirani zabwino kwambiri.
5 for he put his life in his hand and struck the Philistine, and Yahweh worked a great victory for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?”
Iye anayika moyo wake pa chiswe pamene anapha Mfilisiti uja. Choncho Yehova anachita zazikulu popambanitsa Aisraeli pa nkhondo. Inu munaona zonsezo ndipo munakondwera. Nanga nʼchifukwa chiyani mukufuna kuchimwira munthu wosalakwa pofuna kupha Davide?”
6 Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore, “As Yahweh lives, he shall not be put to death.”
Sauli anamvera mawu a Yonatani ndipo analumbira kuti, “Pali Yehova, Davide sadzaphedwa.”
7 Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.
Pambuyo pake Yonatani anayitana Davide namuwuza zonsezi. Choncho Yonatani anabwera naye Davide kwa Sauli ndipo ankamutumikira Sauliyo monga kale.
8 There was war again. David went out and fought with the Philistines, and killed them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.
Panabukanso nkhondo ina ndipo Davide anapita ndi kukamenyana ndi Afilisti. Iye anawakantha mwamphamvu kotero kuti Afilisti anathawa.
9 An evil spirit from Yahweh was on Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing music with his hand.
Tsiku lina mzimu woyipa uja unafikanso pa Sauli. Nthawi imeneyi nʼkuti Sauli uja ali mʼnyumba mwake, mkondo uli mʼdzanja lake ndi Davide akuyimba zeze,
10 Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence; and he stuck the spear into the wall. David fled and escaped that night.
Sauli anafuna kumubaya Davide ndi kumukhomera kukhoma, koma Davide anapewa mkondowo kotero Sauli anakabaya pa khoma. Usiku womwewo Davide anathawa.
11 Saul sent messengers to David’s house to watch him and to kill him in the morning. Michal, David’s wife, told him, saying, “If you don’t save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”
Usiku womwewo Sauli anatumiza anthu ku nyumba ya Davide kuti akamubisalire ndi kumupha mmamawa. Koma Mikala mkazi wake anamuchenjeza nati, “Ngati usiku uno supulumutsa moyo wako, mawa udzaphedwa.”
12 So Michal let David down through the window. He went away, fled, and escaped.
Choncho Mikala anamutulutsira Davide pa zenera, ndipo anathawa ndi kupulumuka.
13 Michal took the teraphim and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ hair at its head and covered it with clothes.
Kenaka Mikala anatenga fano naligoneka pa bedi nayika pilo wa ubweya wa mbuzi ku mutu kwa fanolo ndipo analifunditsa nsalu.
14 When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.”
Pamene amithenga a Sauli aja anafika kuti akamugwire Davide, Mikala anati, “Davide akudwala.”
15 Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.”
Koma Sauli anatumanso anthuwo kuti akamuone Davide, nati, “Mubwere naye kuno ali pa bedi pomwepo kuti ndidzamuphe.”
16 When the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats’ hair at its head.
Koma pamene anthuwo analowa, anangoona fano pa bedipo ndi pilo wa ubweya wa mbuzi ku mutu kwake.
17 Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me like this and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?” Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go! Why should I kill you?’”
Tsono Sauli anafunsa Mikala kuti, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani wandinamiza chotere polola kuti mdani wanga athawe?” Mikala anayankha kuti, “Davide anandiwuza kuti, ‘Ukapanda kutero ndikupha.’”
18 Now David fled and escaped, and came to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. He and Samuel went and lived in Naioth.
Choncho Davide anathawa napulumuka. Pambuyo pake anapita kwa Samueli ku Rama nakamuwuza zonse zimene Sauli anamuchita. Kenaka iye ndi Samueli anapita kukakhala ku Nayoti.
19 Saul was told, saying, “Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.”
Sauli anamva kuti, “Davide ali ku Nayoti ku Rama.”
20 Saul sent messengers to seize David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, God’s Spirit came on Saul’s messengers, and they also prophesied.
Choncho iye anatumiza anthu kuti akamugwire Davide. Koma anaona gulu la aneneri likulosera ndi Samueli akuwatsogolera. Pomwepo Mzimu wa Mulungu unawafikira ndipo nawonso anayamba kulosera.
21 When Saul was told, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
Sauli atamva zimenezi anatumizanso anthu ena, koma nawonso anayamba kulosa. Anatumanso anthu ena kachitatu, koma nawonso anayamba kulosa.
22 Then he also went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu: and he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” One said, “Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.”
Pomaliza Sauli mwini wake ananyamuka kupita ku Rama ndipo anafika ku chitsime chachikulu cha ku Seku. Ndipo anafunsa, “Samueli ndi Davide ali kuti?” Munthu wina anamuyankha kuti, “Ali ku Nayoti ku Rama.”
23 He went there to Naioth in Ramah. Then God’s Spirit came on him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
Choncho Sauli anapita ku Nayoti ku Rama. Koma Mzimu wa Mulungu unafikanso pa iye ndipo ankalosa akuyenda mpaka anafika ku Nayoti.
24 He also stripped off his clothes. He also prophesied before Samuel and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
Nayenso anavula zovala zake nayamba kulosa pamaso pa Samueli. Kenaka anagona wamaliseche tsiku lonse ndi usiku wonse. Nʼchifukwa chake anthu amati, “Kodi Sauli alinso mmodzi wa aneneri?”
