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 instructed his son Jonathan and all his officials to kill David. But Jonathan really liked 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 him, “My father Saul is trying to kill you. So be careful tomorrow morning—find a place to hide and stay hidden.
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'll go out with my father and stand in the field near to where you are hiding. I'll talk to him about you and see what I can find out, then I'll let you know.”
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 positively about David to his father Saul, and told him, “The king should not do anything bad to his servant David because he's not done anything bad to you—he has always served you well.
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 killed the Philistine, and the Lord brought about great salvation for the whole of Israel. You saw it and you were delighted, so why would you sin and spill innocent blood by killing David without having any reason?”
6 Hoolohe o Saula i ka leo o Ionatana; a hoohiki iho la ma ke ola o Iehova, aole ia e make.
Saul accepted what Jonathan had to say, and promised with an oath: “I swear on the life of the Lord, he won't 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.
Later Jonathan called David and told him all that had been said. Then he took him to Saul, and David worked for Saul 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.
War broke out once again, and David went to fight the Philistines. He attacked them so forcefully that they ran away in defeat.
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.
A while later an evil spirit from the Lord came on Saul while he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. As David played the lyre,
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 David to the wall with the spear. David managed to dodge the spear which embedded itself in the wall. Then David escaped and ran away into the 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.
Saul sent some messengers to David's house to keep watch and kill him in the morning. But Michal, David's wife, warned him, “If you don't get away tonight, tomorrow you'll be killed.”
12 Kuu iho la o Mikala ia Davida ma ka pukamakani: a hele aku la ia a holo, a pakele aku la.
Michal lowered David down from a window, and he ran off, managing to escape.
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 she took a home idol and laid it in the bed, put a goat hair wig on its head, and covered it with bedclothes.
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 arrest David, Michal told them, “He's sick.”
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.
Saul sent the messengers back to see David, saying, “Bring him to me in the 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.
But when the messengers went into the bedroom, there was the idol in the bed with the goat hair wig 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?
“Why did you trick me like this—helping my enemy get away so he could escape?” Saul asked Michal. “He told me, ‘Get out of my way! I don't want to have to kill you!’” Michal replied.
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.
This is how David got away and escaped. He went to Samuel at Ramah and explained to him everything that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went to stay in Naioth.
19 A ua haiia ia Saula, i ka i ana ae, Aia hoi o Davida ma Naiota i Rama.
When Saul got to hear 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 arrest him. But when they saw a group of prophets prophesying with Samuel leading out, the Spirit of God came on Saul's messengers and they started prophesying too.
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.
Saul was told what had happened, so he sent more messengers, and they started prophesying as well.
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.
For the third time Saul sent messengers, and they also started prophesying.
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.
In the end Saul went himself to Ramah and arrived at the large cistern at Secu. “Where are Samuel and David?” he asked. “At Naioth in Ramah,” someone told him. So Saul went on to Naioth at Ramah, but the Spirit of God even came on him, and he was prophesying as he walked along until he arrived in Naioth.
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 also took off his clothes and he too prophesied in Samuel's presence. Then he fell down and lay there naked all that day and all that night. That's why it is said, “Is Saul one of the prophets too?”
