1 Samuel 19
1 And Saul speaketh unto Jonathan his son, and unto all his servants, to put David to death,
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Saula kia Sonatane ko hono foha, pea ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē, koeʻuhi kenau tāmateʻi ʻa Tevita.
2 and Jonathan son of Saul delighted exceedingly in David, and Jonathan declareth to David, saying, 'Saul my father is seeking to put thee to death, and, now, take heed, I pray thee, in the morning, and thou hast abode in a secret place, and been hidden,
Ka naʻe loto lelei lahi ʻa Sonatane ko e foha ʻo Saula kia Tevita: pea naʻe fakahā ʻe Sonatane kia Tevita, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku fai ʻe Saula ko ʻeku tamai ke ne tāmateʻi koe: pea ko eni, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke vakai kiate koe ke ʻoua ke pongipongi, pea nofo ʻi ha potu lilo, ʻo toitoiʻi koe:
3 and I — I go out, and have stood by the side of my father in the field where thou [art], and I speak of thee unto my father, and have seen what [is coming], and have declared to thee.'
Pea te u ʻalu ʻo tuʻu ofi ki heʻeku tamai ʻi he ngoue ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻi ai, pea te ma alea mo ʻeku tamai kiate koe; pea ko ia teu mamata ki ai, teu tala kiate koe.
4 And Jonathan speaketh good of David unto Saul his father, and saith unto him, 'Let not the king sin against his servant, against David, because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works for thee [are] very good;
Pea naʻe lea lelei ʻa Sonatane ki heʻene tamai ko Saula kia Tevita, ʻo ne pehē, “Ke ʻoua naʻa fai ha kovi ʻe he tuʻi ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita; koeʻuhi kuo ʻikai te ne fai angahala kiate koe pea koeʻuhi ko ʻene ngaahi ngāue kuo lelei ʻaupito kiate koe:
5 yea, he putteth his life in his hand, and smiteth the Philistine, and Jehovah worketh a great salvation for all Israel; thou hast seen, and dost rejoice, and why dost thou sin against innocent blood, to put David to death for nought?'
He naʻa ne ʻai ʻene moʻui ki hono nima, pea ne tāmateʻi ʻae tangata Filisitia, pea naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ʻae fakamoʻui lahi maʻa ʻIsileli: naʻa ke vakaiʻi ia: pea ne ke fiefia ai: pea ko e hā ai te ke fai angahala ai ki he toto angatonu, ke tāmateʻi ʻa Tevita taʻehanotuʻunga?”
6 And Saul hearkeneth to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul sweareth, 'Jehovah liveth — he doth not die.'
Pea naʻe tokanga ʻa Saula ki he leʻo ʻo Sonatane: pea fuakava ʻa Saula, ʻI he moʻui ʻa Sihova ʻe ʻikai tāmateʻi ia.
7 And Jonathan calleth for David, and Jonathan declareth to him all these words, and Jonathan bringeth in David unto Saul, and he is before him as heretofore.
Pea naʻe ui ʻe Sonatane ʻa Tevita, pea fakahā ʻe Sonatane kiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni. Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Sonatane ʻa Tevita kia Saula, pea naʻe ʻi hono ʻao ia ʻo hangē ko ʻene ʻi ai ʻi muʻa.
8 And there addeth to be war, and David goeth out and fighteth against the Philistines, and smiteth among them — a great smiting, and they flee from his face.
Pea naʻe toe hoko ʻae tau: pea ʻalu ai ʻa Tevita ʻo tauʻi ʻae kakai Filisitia, pea ne taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he tāmateʻi lahi; pea naʻa nau hola meiate ia.
9 And a spirit of sadness [from] Jehovah is unto Saul, and he is sitting in his house, and his javelin in his hand, and David is playing with the hand,
Pea naʻe ʻia Saula ʻae laumālie kovi meia Sihova, ʻi heʻene nofo ʻi hono fale mo e tao ʻi hono nima: pea naʻe tā [ʻene meʻa ]ʻe Tevita ʻaki hono nima.
10 and Saul seeketh to smite with the javelin through David, and through the wall, and he freeth himself from the presence of Saul, and he smiteth the javelin through the wall; and David hath fled and escapeth during that night.
Pea naʻe feinga ʻa Saula ke ne veloʻi ʻa Tevita ki he holisi ʻaki ʻae tao; ka naʻe kalo mālie ʻa Tevita, pea velo ʻo tau ʻae tao ki he holisi: pea naʻe hola ʻa Tevita ʻo hao mei hono ʻao ʻi he pō ko ia.
11 And Saul sendeth messengers unto the house of David to watch him, and to put him to death in the morning; and Michal his wife declareth to David, saying, 'If thou art not delivering thy life to-night — tomorrow thou art put to death.'
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Saula ʻae kau tangata fekau ki he fale ʻo Tevita, ke lamasi ia, pea kenau tāmateʻi ia ʻi he pongipongi: pea naʻe tala ʻe Mikale ko e uaifi ʻo Tevita kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke fakahaofi hoʻo moʻui he poōni, ʻe tāmateʻi koe ʻapongipongi.”
12 And Michal causeth David to go down through the window, and he goeth on, and fleeth, and escapeth;
Ko ia naʻe tukutuku hifo ai ʻe Mikale ʻa Tevita mei he matapā sioʻata: pea naʻe ʻalu ia, pea hola ʻo hao.
13 and Michal taketh the teraphim, and layeth on the bed, and the mattress of goats' [hair] she hath put [for] his pillows, and covereth with a garment.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Mikale ʻae meʻa fakatātā ʻo tuku ia ki he mohenga, pea ne ʻai ʻae ʻolunga ko e fulufuluʻi kosi ke ʻolunga ʻaki, ʻo ne ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae kafu.
14 And Saul sendeth messengers to take David, and she saith, 'He [is] sick.'
Pea ʻi he fekau ʻa Saula ʻae kau talafekau ke puke ʻa Tevita, naʻe pehē ʻe ia, ʻOku mahaki ia.
15 And Saul sendeth the messengers to see David, saying, 'Bring him up in the bed unto me,' — to put him to death.
Pea naʻe toe fekau ʻe Saula ʻae kau talafekau kenau mamata kia Tevita, ʻo pehē, “Mou ʻomi ia kiate au ʻi hono mohenga, koeʻuhi ke u tāmateʻi ia.”
16 And the messengers come in, and lo, the teraphim [are] on the bed, and the mattress of goats' [hair], [for] his pillows.
Pea ʻi he hū ki loto ʻae kau tangata talafekau, vakai, naʻe ʻi he mohenga ʻae meʻa fakatātā mo e ʻolunga kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae fulufuluʻi kosi.
17 And Saul saith unto Michal, 'Why thus hast thou deceived me — that thou dost send away mine enemy, and he is escaped?' and Michal saith unto Saul, 'He said unto me, Send me away: why do I put thee to death?'
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula kia Mikale, “Ko e hā kuo ke kākā pehē ai au, mo ke fekau ki hoku fili ke ʻalu, pea kuo ne hao?” Pea pehē ʻe Mikale kia Saula, naʻe pehē mai ʻe ia, Tuku ke u ʻalu; he ko e hā te u tāmateʻi ai koe?”
18 And David hath fled, and is escaped, and cometh in unto Samuel to Ramath, and declareth to him all that Saul hath done to him, and he goeth, he and Samuel, and they dwell in Naioth.
Ko ia naʻe hola pea hao ʻa Tevita, ʻo ne ʻalu kia Samuela ki Lama, ʻo ne tala kiate ia ʻaia kotoa pē kuo fai ʻe Saula kiate ia. Pea naʻa na ō mo Samuela ʻo nofo ʻi Naoti.
19 And it is declared to Saul, saying, 'Lo, David [is] in Naioth in Ramah.'
Pea naʻe tala kia Saula, ʻo pehē, Vakai, ʻoku ʻi Naoti ʻa Tevita ʻi Lama.
20 And Saul sendeth messengers to take David, and they see the assembly of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing, set over them, and the Spirit of God is on Saul's messengers, and they prophesy — they also.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Saula ʻae kau tangata ke puke ʻa Tevita: pea ʻi heʻenau mamata ki he kau palōfita ʻoku malanga, kae tuʻu ʻa Samuela ʻaia ko honau tauhi, naʻe hoko ʻae laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua ki he kau tangata fekau ʻa Saula, pea malanga foki mo kinautolu.
21 And they declare [it] to Saul, and he sendeth other messengers, and they prophesy — they also; and Saul addeth and sendeth messengers a third time, and they prophesy — they also.
Pea ʻi he fakahā ia kia Saula, naʻa ne fekau atu ʻae kau tangata kehe, pea naʻe malanga ʻakinautolu foki. Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Saula ʻae kau tangata fekau ho hono liunga tolu, pea naʻa nau malanga foki.
22 And he goeth — he also — to Ramath, and cometh in unto the great well which [is] in Sechu, and asketh, and saith, 'Where [are] Samuel and David?' and [one] saith, 'Lo, in Naioth in Ramah.'
Pea naʻe toki ʻalu ia foki ki Lama pea hoko atu ki he fuʻu luo vai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Sikiu: pea naʻe fehuʻi ʻe ia ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻi fē ʻa Samuela mo Tevita?” Pea pehē ʻe he tokotaha, Vakai, ʻoku na ʻi Naoti ʻi Lama.
23 And he goeth thither — unto Naioth in Ramah, and the Spirit of God is upon him — him also; and he goeth, going on, and he prophesieth till his coming in to Naioth in Ramah,
Pea ne ʻalu ki ai ki Naoti ʻi Lama: pea hoko kiate ia foki ʻae Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua, pea naʻe ʻalu pe ia, ʻo malanga, ʻo feʻunga mo ʻene hoko ki Naoti ʻi Lama.
24 and he strippeth off — he also — his garments, and prophesieth — he also — before Samuel, and falleth down naked all that day and all the night; therefore they say, 'Is Saul also among the prophets?'
Pea naʻa ne toʻo foki hono ngaahi kofu, ʻo malanga pehē pē ʻi he ʻao ʻo Samuela, pea naʻe tokoto hifo taʻekofu ia ʻi he ʻaho kotoa ko ia mo e pō kotoa ko ia. Ko e tupunga ia ʻoe pehē, “He kuo kau ʻa Saula foki mo e kau palōfita?”
