I Samuela 18
1 A PAU ae la kana kamailio pu ana me Saula, ua hui pu ia ka naau o Ionatana me ka naau o Davida, aloha aku la o Ionatana ia ia e like me kona uhane iho.
And it comes to pass, when he finishes to speak to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan has been bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loves him as his own soul.
2 Lawe aku la o Saula ia ia ia la, aole ia i ae aku ia ia e hoi hou i ka hale o kona makuakane.
And Saul takes him on that day, and has not permitted him to return to the house of his father.
3 A hoopaa iho la o Ionatana a me Davida i kuikahi, no ka mea, aloha aku la oia ia ia e like me kona uhane iho.
And Jonathan makes—David also—a covenant, because he loves him as his own soul,
4 Wehe ae la o Ionatana i kona kapa aahu maluna ona, a haawi aku la ia Davida, a me kona lole komo, a me kana pahikaua, a i kana kakaka, a me kona kaei.
and Jonathan strips himself of the upper robe which [is] on him, and gives it to David, and his long robe, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
5 A hele aku la o Davida i na wahi a pau a Saula i hoouna aku ai ia ia, ua hana naauao ia: a hoonoho aku la o Saula ia ia maluna o na kanaka kaua; a ua maikai oia i na maka o na kanaka a pau, a i na maka hoi o ka poe kauwa a Saula.
And David goes out wherever Saul sends him; he acted wisely, and Saul sets him over the men of war, and it is good in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul.
6 A i ko lakou hele ana mai, i ka wa a Davida i hoi mai ai i ka pepehi ana i ke kanaka Pilisetia, hele mai la na wahine mai na kulanakauhale a pau o ka Iseraela mai, e mele ana, a e haa ana, e halawai me Saula ke alii, me na kuolokani, a me ka olioli, a me na mea kani.
And it comes to pass, in their coming in, in David’s returning from striking the Philistine, that the women come out from all the cities of Israel to sing—also the dancers—to meet Saul the king, with tambourines, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments;
7 Olelo ae la na wahine e haa ana, i aku la, O na tausani ka Saula i pepehi ai, a he umi tausani ka Davida.
and the women answer—those playing, and say, “Saul has struck among his thousands, And David among his myriads.”
8 Huhu nui iho la o Saula, a ua hewa ia olelo i kona manao; i iho la, Ua haawi lakou na Davida he umi tausani, a ua haawi lakou na'u he mau tausani: o ka lilo o ke aupuni nona ka mea i koe.
And it is exceedingly displeasing to Saul, and this thing is evil in his eyes, and he says, “They have given myriads to David, and they have given the thousands to me, and what more [is there] for him but the kingdom?”
9 Awihi ae la ko Saula maka ia Davida mai ia manawa mai.
And Saul is eyeing David from that day and from then on.
10 Ia la iho, hiki mai ka uhane ino maluna o Saula na ke Akua mai, a wanana aku la ia iloko o ka hale; a hookani iho la o Davida me kona lima, e like me na manawa mamua: a he ihe ma ka lima o Saula.
And it comes to pass, on the next day, that the spirit of sadness [from] God prospers over Saul, and he prophesies in the midst of the house, and David is playing with his hand, as [he did] day by day, and the javelin [is] in the hand of Saul,
11 Hou aku la o Saula i ka ihe, i iho la, E pepehi aku au ia Davida a i ka paia. Elua ko Davida alo ana mai ona aku la.
and Saul casts the javelin and says, “I strike through David, even through the wall”; and David turns around out of his presence twice.
12 Makau ae la o Saula ia Davida, no ka mea, me ia no o Iehova, a ua haalele aku la ia Saula.
And Saul is afraid of the presence of David, for YHWH has been with him, and He has turned aside from Saul;
13 No ia mea, hoonoho aku la o Saula ia ia mai ona aku la, a hoolilo ia ia i lunatausani nona; a hele aku la ia a hoi mai imua o na kanaka.
and Saul turns him aside from him, and appoints him to himself [for] head of one thousand, and he goes out and comes in, before the people.
14 Ua naauao o Davida ma kona aoao a pau; a me ia no o Iehova.
And David is acting wisely in all his ways, and YHWH [is] with him,
15 A ike aku la o Saula i kona naauao loa, makau no oia ia ia.
and Saul sees that he is acting very wisely, and is afraid of him,
16 Aka, o ka Iseraela a pau a me ka Iuda, aloha lakou ia Davida, no ka mea, hele aku no ia a hoi mai imua o lakou.
and all Israel and Judah love David when he is going out and coming in before them.
17 Olelo aku la o Saula ia Davida, Aia hoi, o ka'u kaikamahine mua, o Meraba, oia ka'u e haawi aku i wahine nau, ke ikaika oe no'u, a ke kaua aku i na kaua o Iehova: i iho la o Saula, Aole maluna ona ko'u lima iho, aka, maluna ona ka lima o ko Pilisetia.
And Saul says to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab—I give her to you for a wife; only, be for a son of valor to me, and fight the battles of YHWH”; and Saul said, “Do not let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”
18 I aku la o Davida ia Saula, Owai la owau? a heaha hoi ko'u ola, a me ko ka hale o ko'u makuakane iwaena o ka Iseraela, i lilo ai au i hunonakane na ke alii.
And David says to Saul, “Who [am] I? And what [is] my life—the family of my father in Israel—that I am son-in-law of the king?”
19 A i ka manawa e pono ai ke haawiia'ku ai o Meraba, ke kaikamahine a Saula, na Davida, ua haawiia oia na Aderiela, no Mehola, i wahine nana.
And it comes to pass, at the time of the giving of Merab daughter of Saul to David, that she has been given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife.
20 A o Mikala, ke kaikamahine a Saula, aloha no oia ia Davida: a hai aku la lakou ia Saula, a ua pono ia mea i kona maka.
And Michal daughter of Saul loves David, and they declare [it] to Saul, and the thing is right in his eyes,
21 I aku la o Saula, E haawi aku au ia ia nana, i lilo ai ia i mea hihia nona, a i ku e mai ai ka lima o ko Pilisetia ia ia. I aku la o Saula ia Davida, E lilo mai oe i keia la i hunonakane na'u ma kekahi o laua.
and Saul says, “I give her to him, and she is for a snare to him, and the hand of the Philistines is on him”; and Saul says to David, “By the second—you become my son-in-law today.”
22 Kauoha aku la o Saula i kana poe kauwa, E kamailio malu oukou me Davida, e i aku, Aia hoi, ua oluolu ke alii ia oe, a ua aloha hoi kana poe kauwa a pau ia oe; ano hoi, e hooliloia oe i hunonakane na ke alii.
And Saul commands his servants, “Speak to David gently, saying, Behold, the king has delighted in you, and all his servants have loved you, and now, be son-in-law of the king.”
23 Hai aku la na kauwa a Saula i keia mau olelo ma ka pepeiao o Davida. I mai la o Davida, He mea uuku anei i ko oukou maka, ke lilo i hunonakane na ke alii, he kanaka ilihune wau, a he mea i manao ole ia?
And the servants of Saul speak these words in the ears of David, and David says, “Is it a light thing in your eyes to be son-in-law of the king—and I a poor man, and lightly esteemed?”
24 Hai aku la na kauwa a Saula ia ia, i aku la, Me keia mau olelo i olelo mai ai o Davida.
And the servants of Saul declare [it] to him, saying, “David has spoken according to these words.”
25 I aku la o Saula, Peneia oukou e olelo aku ai ia Davida, Aole makemake ke alii i ka uku, aka, i hookahi haneri omaka o na Pilisetia, i mea e hoopai aku ai i na enemi o ke alii. Manao iho la o Saula e haule ana o Davida ma ka lima o na Pilisetia.
And Saul says, “Thus you say to David, There is no delight for the king in dowry, but in one hundred foreskins of the Philistines—to be avenged on the enemies of the king”; and Saul thought to cause David to fall by the hand of the Philistines.
26 A hai aku la na kauwa ana i keia mau olelo ia Davida, ua pono ia mea i na maka o Davida i ka lilo i hunonakane na ke alii; aole hoi i pau na la.
And his servants declare these words to David, and the thing is right in the eyes of David, to be son-in-law of the king; and the days have not been full,
27 Ku ae la o Davida, a hele aku la, oia me kona poe kanaka, a pepehi aku la i elua haneri kanaka o na Pilisetia; a lawe mai o Davida i ko lakou omaka, a haawi lakou ia mau mea a pau i ke alii, i mea e lilo ai oia i hunonakane na ke alii: a haawi aku la o Saula ia Mikala, i kana kaikamahine, i wahine nana.
and David rises and goes, he and his men, and strikes two hundred men among the Philistines, and David brings in their foreskins, and they set them before the king, to be son-in-law of the king; and Saul gives his daughter Michal to him for a wife.
28 Nana aku la o Saula, a ike hoi, aia no o Iehova me Davida, a o Mikala ke kaikamahine a Saula, ua aloha aku oia ia ia.
And Saul sees and knows that YHWH [is] with David, and Michal daughter of Saul has loved him,
29 A nui loa ae la ka makau o Saula ia Davida, a lilo o Saula i ko Davida enemi i na la a pau.
and Saul adds to be afraid of the presence of David still; and Saul is an enemy of David [for] all the days.
30 A hele aku la na'lii o na Pilisetia: a mai ka manawa o ko lakou hele ana'ku, ua oi aku ka naauao o Davida i ko na kauwa a pau a Saula; no ia mea, ua manao nui ia kona inoa.
And the princes of the Philistines come out, and it comes to pass from the time of their coming out, David has acted more wisely than any of the servants of Saul, and his name is very precious.
