I Samuela 19
1 OLELO aku la o Saula ia Ionatana i kana keiki, a i kana poe kauwa a pau, e pepehi ia Davida:
Then Saul ordered his son Jonathan and all his servants to kill David. But Jonathan delighted greatly in David,
2 Aka o Ionatana, ke keiki a Saula ua nui kona aloha ia Davida. Hai aku la o Ionatana ia Davida, i aku la, Ke imi nei o Saula, ko'u makuakane, e pepehi ia oe. Ano hoi, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e malama ia oe iho a kakahiaka, a e noho ma kahi malu, a e huna ia oe iho.
so he warned David, saying, “My father Saul intends to kill you. Be on your guard in the morning; find a secret place and hide there.
3 A e hele aku au mawaho a e ku me ko'u makuakane ma ke kula, ma kou wahi, a e olelo aku au i ko'u makuakane nou, a e hai aku au ia oe i ka'u mea i ike ai.
I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, so I can ask about you. And if I find out anything, I will tell you.”
4 A olelo pono aku la o Ionatana ia Saula kona makuakane no Davida, i aku la ia ia, Mai noho a hana hewa ke alii i kana kauwa ia Davida; no ka mea, aole oia i hana hewa mai ia oe, aka, ua pono loa kana hana ana ia oe.
Then Jonathan spoke well of David to his father Saul and said to him, “The king should not sin against his servant David; he has not sinned against you. In fact, his actions have been highly beneficial to you.
5 Ua waiho oia i kona ola iloko o kona lima, a pepehi aku la i ke kanaka Pilisetia, a ua hana mai o Iehova i ke ola nui no ka Iseraela n pau: ua ike no oe, a ua olioli no hoi; no ke aha la oe e hana hewa i ke koko hala ole, e pepehi hala ole ia Davida.
He took his life in his hands when he struck down the Philistine, and the LORD worked a great salvation for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced, so why would you sin against innocent blood by killing David for no reason?”
6 Hoolohe o Saula i ka leo o Ionatana; a hoohiki iho la ma ke ola o Iehova, aole ia e make.
Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan and swore an oath: “As surely as the LORD lives, David will not be put to death.”
7 Kahea aku la o Ionatana ia Davida, a hai aku la o Ionatana ia ia i keia mau mea a pau: a lawe mai oia ia Davida io Saula la, a noho ia imua ona e like me na la mamua.
So Jonathan summoned David and told him all these things. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul to serve him as he had before.
8 A he kana hou: a hele aku la o Davida, a kaua aku i ko Pilisetia, a pepehi aku la ia lakou me ka luku nui: a holo lakou mai kona alo aku.
When war broke out again, David went out and fought the Philistines and struck them with such a mighty blow that they fled before him.
9 A maluna o Saula ka uhane ino na Iehova mai, i kona noho ana iloko o kona hale, me ka ihe ma kona lima: a hookanikani iho la o Davida me kona lima.
But as Saul was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand, a spirit of distress from the LORD came upon him. While David was playing the harp,
10 Imi aku la o Saula e hou aku ia Davida a i ka paia me ka ihe; a hele aku la ia mai ke alo aku o Saula, a hou aku la ia i ka ihe ma ka paia; a holo aku la o Davida, a pakele iho la ia po.
Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear. But the spear struck the wall and David eluded him, ran away, and escaped that night.
11 A hoouna aku la o Saula i na elele ma ka hale o Davida e kiai ia ia, a e pepehi ia ia i kakahiaka; a hai aku la o Mikala ka wahine a Davida ia ia, i aku la, Ina aole oe e hoopakele i kou ola i keia po, apopo e pepehiia oe.
Then Saul sent messengers to David’s house to watch him and kill him in the morning. But David’s wife Michal warned him, “If you do not run for your life tonight, tomorrow you will be dead!”
12 Kuu iho la o Mikala ia Davida ma ka pukamakani: a hele aku la ia a holo, a pakele aku la.
So Michal lowered David from the window, and he ran away and escaped.
13 Lawe ae la o Mikala i kii, a waiho ma kahi moe, a waiho hoi i ka uluna hulu kao ma kona poo, a uhi iho la i ke kapa moe.
Then Michal took a household idol and laid it in the bed, placed some goat hair on its head, and covered it with a garment.
14 A hoouna aku o Saula i na elele e lalau ia Davida, i mai la ka wahine, He mai kona.
When Saul sent the messengers to seize David, Michal said, “He is ill.”
15 Hoouna hou aku o Saula i na elele e ike ia Davida, i aku la, E lawe mai ia ia io'u nei maluna o kahi moe, i pepehi ai au ia ia.
But Saul sent the messengers back to see David and told them, “Bring him up to me in his bed so I can kill him.”
16 A hiki aku la na elele, aia hoi, he kii maluna o kahi moe, me ka uluna hulu kao ma kona poo.
And when the messengers entered, there was the idol in the bed with the quilt of goats’ hair on its head.
17 I aku la o Saula ia Mikala, No ke aha la oe i hoopunipuni mai ai ia'u pela, a kuu aku i kuu enemi, i pakele ai ia? I mai la o Mikala ia Saula, Olelo mai no ia ia'u, E kuu ae oe ia'u, no ke aha la e pepehi aku ai au ia oe?
And Saul said to Michal, “Why did you deceive me like this? You sent my enemy away and he has escaped!” Michal replied, “He said to me, ‘Help me get away, or I will kill you!’”
18 A holo aku la o Davida, a pakele aku la, a hele io Samuela la ma Rama, a hai aku la ia ia i na mea a pau a Saula i hana mai ai ia ia; a hele aku la laua me Samuela a noho ma Naiota.
So David ran away and escaped. And he went to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went to Naioth and stayed there.
19 A ua haiia ia Saula, i ka i ana ae, Aia hoi o Davida ma Naiota i Rama.
When Saul was told that David was at Naioth in Ramah,
20 Hoouna aku la o Saula i na elele e lalau ia Davida: a ike lakou i ka poe kaula e wanana ana, a me Samuela e ku ana i hoonohoia maluna o lakou, hiki mai ka Uhane o ke Akua maluna o na elele a Saula, a wanana iho la lakou.
he sent messengers to capture him. But when they saw the group of prophets prophesying, with Samuel leading them, the Spirit of God came upon them, and Saul’s messengers also began to prophesy.
21 A haiia ia mea ia Saula, hoouna aku la ia i na elele hou, a wanana hoi lakou. A hoouna hou aku la o Saula i na elele, o ke kolu keia, a wanana no hoi lakou.
When this was reported to Saul, he sent more messengers, but they began to prophesy as well. So Saul tried again and sent messengers a third time, and even they began to prophesy.
22 Alaila hele aku la hoi ia ma Rama, a hiki ma ka punawai nui ma Seku: ninau aku la ia, i aku la, Mahea o Samuela a me Davida? a haiia mai, Aia ma Naiota i Rama.
Finally, Saul himself left for Ramah and came to the large cistern at Secu, where he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” “At Naioth in Ramah,” he was told.
23 A hele aku la ia ma Naiota i Rama: a hiki mai ka Uhane o ke Akua maluna ona, a hele aku la ia e wanana ana, a hiki ma Naiota i Rama.
So Saul went to Naioth in Ramah. But the Spirit of God came upon even Saul, and he walked along prophesying until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24 A wehe ae la ia i kona aahu, a wanana ae la hoi ia imua o Samuela, a haule iho la ia me ka aahu ole ia la a pau, a ia po a pau. No ia mea, olelo ae la lakou, O Saula anei kekahi me ka poe kaula?
Then Saul stripped off his robes and also prophesied before Samuel. And he collapsed and lay naked all that day and night. That is why it is said, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
