Samuel 1 19
1 Azɔ la, Saul gblɔ na eŋumewo kple via Yonatan be woato mɔ aɖe nu awu David. Ke le lɔlɔ̃ deto si nɔ Yonatan kple David dome ta la,
Forsothe Saul spak to Jonathas, his sone, and to alle hise seruauntis, that thei schulden sle Dauid; certis Jonathas, the sone of Saul, louyde Dauid greetli.
2 Yonatan gblɔ ɖoɖo si fofoa wɔ ɖe eŋu la nɛ. Egblɔ nɛ be, “Etsɔ ŋdi la, ele be nàdi teƒe aɖe si nàbe ɖo le gbedzi.
And Jonathas schewide to Dauid, and seide, Saul, my fadir, sekith to sle thee, wherfor, Y biseche, kepe `thou thee eerli; and thou schalt dwelle priueli, and thou schalt be hid.
3 Mana be nye kple fofonye míava afi ma eye maƒo nu nɛ tso ŋuwò. Ekema magblɔ nya sia nya si mase tso egbɔ la na wò.”
Sotheli Y schal go out, and stonde bisidis my fadir in the feeld, where euer he schal be; and Y schal speke of thee to my fadir, and what euer thing Y shal se, Y schal telle to thee.
4 Le ŋufɔke ƒe ŋdi esi Yonatan nɔ dze ɖom kple fofoa la, ekafu David nɛ eye wòɖe kuku nɛ be wòadzudzɔ ta me vɔ̃ ɖoɖo ɖe eŋu. Yonatan ɖe kuku na fofoa be, “David mewɔ nu vɔ̃ aɖeke ɖe ŋuwò kpɔ o; ekpena ɖe ŋuwò ɣe sia ɣi le mɔ sia mɔ si wòate ŋui la dzi.
Therfor Jonathas spak good thingis of Dauid to Saul, his fadir, and seide to hym, Kyng, do thou not synne ayens thi seruaunt Dauid, for he `synnede not to thee, and hise werkis ben ful good to thee;
5 Ɖe nèŋlɔ ɣeyiɣi si wòtsɔ eƒe agbe ke, hewu Goliat kple ale si Yehowa to nu sia me he dziɖuɖu gã aɖe vɛ na Israel la bea? Èkpɔ dzidzɔ le nyadzɔdzɔ sia ŋu ɣe ma ɣi me, nu ka ta nàwui azɔ le esime mewɔ nu vɔ̃ aɖeke o? Naneke meli si ta nàwui ɖo o.”
and he puttide his lijf in his hond, and he killide the Filistei. And the Lord made greet heelthe to al Israel; thou siy, and were glad; whi therfor synnest thou in giltles blood, and sleest Dauid, which is with out gilt?
6 Mlɔeba la, Saul lɔ̃ ɖe Yonatan ƒe nya siawo dzi eye wòka atam be, “Zi ale si Yehowa li la, nyemawu David o.”
And whanne Saul hadde herd this, he was plesid with the vois of Jonathas, and swoor, `The Lord lyueth, `that is, bi the Lord lyuynge, for Dauid schal not be slayn.
7 Yonatan yɔ David emegbe eye wòka nya si dzɔ la ta nɛ. Ekplɔ David yi Saul gbɔ eye wo dome ganɔ abe tsã ene.
Therfor Jonathas clepide Dauid, and schewide to hym alle these wordis. And Jonathas brouyte in Dauid to Saul, and he was bifor hym as `yistirdai and the thridde dai ago.
8 Le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe megbe la, aʋa gadzɔ ɖe Israelviwo kple Filistitɔwo dome. David nɔ eƒe aʋakɔ la nu, wowu Filistitɔ geɖewo eye aʋakɔ blibo la si le wo nu.
Forsothe batel was moued eft; and Dauyd yede out, and fauyt ayens Filisteis, and he smoot hem with a greet wounde, and thei fledden fro his face.
9 Ke gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ aɖe tso Yehowa gbɔ va Saul dzi, esime wònɔ eƒe aƒe me eye eƒe akplɔ nɔ esi. Esime David nɔ kasaŋku ƒom la.
And the yuel spirit of the Lord was maad on Saul; sotheli he sat in his hows, and helde a spere; certis Dauid harpide in his hond.
10 Saul di be yeatsɔ yeƒe akplɔ amimii ɖe gli ŋu, ke David de axa nɛ esime Saul da akplɔ la wòyi gli la me. Le zã ma me la, David si dzo.
And Saul enforside to prene with the spere Dauid in the wal; and Dauid bowide fro `the face of Saul; forsothe the spere `with voide wounde was borun in to the wal; and Dauid fledde, and was saued in that niyt.
11 Saul ɖo asrafowo ɖa be woadzɔ David ƒe aƒe ŋu ne edo go tso eƒe xɔ me ŋdi ko la, woawui. Ke Mixal gblɔ na srɔ̃a David be “Ne mèsi dzo le zã sia me o la, àzu nu kuku etsɔ ŋdi.”
Therfor Saul sente hise knyytis in the nyyt in to the hows of Dauid, that thei schulden kepe hym, and that he `schulde be slayn in the morewtide. And whanne Mychol, the wijf of Dauid, hadde teld this to Dauid, and seide, If thou sauest not thee in this nyyt, thou schalt die to morew;
12 Ale Mixal kpe ɖe srɔ̃a ŋu wòɖi to fesre to hesi.
sche puttide hym doun bi a wyndow. Forsothe he yede, and fledde, and was sauyd.
13 Mixal tsɔ ametikpakpɛ aɖe da ɖe David ƒe aba dzi, eƒe ta nɔ suɖui si wowɔ kple gbɔ̃fu la dzi eye wòtsyɔ abadzivɔwo nɛ.
Sotheli Mychol took an ymage, and puttide it on the bed, and puttide `an heeri skyn of geet at the heed therof, and hilide it with clothis.
14 Esi asrafoawo va be woalé David ayi na Saul la, Mixal gblɔ na wo be David dze dɔ eye mate ŋu afɔ o.
Forsothe Saul sente sergeauntis, `that schulden rauysche Dauid, and it was answeride, that he was sijk.
15 Saul gblɔ ɖo ɖa be woakɔ David kple eƒe abati la vɛ ale be yeate ŋu awui.
And eft Saul sente messangeris, that thei schulden se Dauid, and he seide, Brynge ye hym to me in the bed, that he be slayn.
16 Ke esi wova be woakɔe kple abatia la, wokpɔ be ametikpakpɛ koe nɔ abatia dzi eye gbɔ̃fuvɔ le eƒe tagbe.
And whanne the messangeris hadden come, `a symylacre was foundun on the bed, and `skynnes of geet at the heed therof.
17 Saul bia via Mixal be, “Nu ka ta nèblem eye nèna nye futɔ si?” Mixal ɖo eŋu be, “Ɖe kokoko wòle nam be mable wò elabena srɔ̃nye gblɔ nam be ne nyemekpe ɖe ye ŋu o la, yeawum.”
And Saul seide to Mychol, Whi scornedist thou me so, and `delyueredist myn enemy, that he fledde? And Mychol answeride to Saul, For he spak to me, and seide, Delyuere thou me, ellis Y schal slee thee.
18 Ale David si yi Rama ɖakpɔ Samuel eye wògblɔ nu siwo katã Saul wɔ ɖe eŋu la nɛ eye Samuel kplɔ David yi Nayɔt.
Forsothe Dauid fledde, and was sauyd; and he cam to Samuel in to Ramatha, and telde to hym alle thingis which Saul hadde do to hym; and he and Samuel yeden, and dwelliden in Naioth.
19 Esi Saul se be David nɔ Nayɔt le Rama la,
Forsothe it was teld to Saul of men, seiynge, Lo! Dauid is in Naioth in Ramatha.
20 eɖo asrafowo ɖa be woalée vɛ. Ke esi woɖo afi ma eye wokpɔ Samuel kple nyagblɔɖila bubuwo nɔ nya gblɔm ɖi la, Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ va wo dzi eye woawo hã de asi nyagbɔgblɔɖi me.
Therfor Saul sente sleeris, that thei schulden rauysche Dauid; and whanne thei hadden seyn the cumpeny of profetis profeciynge, and Samuel stondynge ouer hem, the Spirit of the Lord, `that is, the spirit of deuocioun, was maad in hem, and thei also bigunnen to prophecie.
21 Esi Saul se nya si dzɔ la, eɖo asrafo bubuwo ɖa, ke woawo hã gblɔ nya ɖi! Nu ma ke dzɔ zi etɔ̃lia hã.
And whanne this was teld to Saul, he sente also othere messangeris; `sotheli and thei profesieden. And eft Saul sente the thridde messangeris, and thei prophecieden. And Saul was wrooth `with irefulnesse;
22 Azɔ Saul ŋutɔ yi Rama eye esi wòɖo vudo la gbɔ le Seku la, ebia be “Afi ka Samuel kple David le?” Ame aɖe gblɔ nɛ be, “Wole Nayɔt le Rama.”
and he also yede in to Ramatha, and he cam `til to the greet cisterne, which is in Socoth, and he axide, and seide, In what place ben Samuel and Dauid? And it was seid to hym, Lo! thei ben in Naioth in Ramatha.
23 Ke esi wòyina Nayɔt la, Mawu ƒe gbɔgbɔ va eya hã dzi eye eya hã de asi nyagbɔgblɔɖi me!
And he yede in `to Naioth in Ramatha; and the Spirit of the Lord was maad also on him; and he `yede, and entride, and propheciede, `til the while he cam `in to Naioth in Ramatha.
24 Edze eƒe awuwo hetsi amama to ŋkeke kple zã blibo la me eye wògblɔ nya ɖi kple Samuel ƒe nyagblɔɖilawo. Eŋumewo tsi yaa eye wobia be, “Ɖe Saul hã le nyagblɔɖilawo domea?”
And `he also dispuylide him silf of hise clothis, and propheciede with othere men bifor Samuel, and he profeciede nakid in al that dai and nyyt. Wherfor `a prouerbe, that is, a comyn word, yede out, Whether and Saul among prophetis?
