1 Samue 20
1 Hagi Devitia Rama kaziga Naioti kumatetira freno Jonataninte eno, amanage huno Jonatanina eme antahige'ne. Nagra na'a hu'noe, nahavizana nehu'na, nankumi negafana hunte'nogeno, nagrira nahe frinakura nehake?
David ran away from [the] Naioth [section] of Ramah [city]. He went to Jonathan and asked him, “What have I done [to displease your father]? What did I do that was wrong? Why is he trying to kill me?”
2 Hagi Jonatani'a kenona hunteno, Nenfa'a osizano ra zana magore huno nagritera eri frara nokiankino, kahe ofrigahie. Hagi na'a hanigeno nenfa'a kagri'ma kahe nanekea eri frara kigahie? A'o anara osugahie!
Jonathan replied, “My father is surely not trying to kill you! He always tells me before he does anything that he is planning. He tells me about important things and unimportant things that he plans to do. (Why would he refuse to tell me [if he were planning to kill me]?/I am sure that he would not refuse to tell me [if he were planning to kill you].) [RHQ] So what you are saying cannot be true.”
3 Hianagi Deviti'a hanave huvempage huno, Kagrama nagri'ma kavesinenantana zana negafa'a keno antahino hu'neno, agra nenamofo Jonatanina ama ana kema asaminugeno'a arimpamo'a knarera osugahie huno antahi'ne. Hianagi tamage huno kasefa huno mani'nea Ra Anumzamofo avufine kagri kavufinena huvempage huankino, nagrira ame huno nahe frigahie.
Then David solemnly declared this to Jonathan: “Your father knows very well that you and I are very good friends, so he says to himself, ‘I will not tell Jonathan [what I am going to do]. If I tell Jonathan, he will be upset/distressed, [and then he will tell David].’ But just as certain as Yahweh lives and you live, I am only one step away from being killed.”
4 Higeno Jonatani'a Devitina asamino, Nazano hunanto hunka hanana zana, amane hugantegahue.
Jonathan said to David, “I will do whatever you tell me to do.”
5 Hagi Deviti'a Jonatanina asamino, Antahio, okina kasefa ika eme antegeno ne'zama nenaza knagi, nagra kini ne' ene ne'zana nosinagi natrege'na trampi ufraki'na mani'nanenkeno 3'a zagegnamo'a nagatereno evino.
David replied, “Tomorrow we will celebrate the Festival of the New Moon. I always eat with the king at that festival. But tomorrow I will hide in the field, and I will stay there for one night. I will stay there until the evening of the day after tomorrow.
6 Hagi negafa'ma onagesuno'ma kantahigena kagra amanage hunka asamio, Devitina naga'amo'zma Betlehemu kumate atru hu'za kafugu kafugu'ma nehazaza hu'za kresramama vanarega anantega vugahue huno eme tutu huno nantahigege'na huntogeno vu'ne hunka asamio.
If your father asks why I am not there at the festival, say to him, ‘David requested me to allow him to go to his home in Bethlehem, where his family will offer the sacrifice that they offer [during this festival] every year.’
7 Hagi anagema hanankeno'ma knarere'ma hanigenka, eri'za vahekamona knare hu'na manigahue hunka antahio. Hianagi ananke'ma asami'nankeno arimpama ahe'na, eri'za vahekamo'na nahe frigahie hunka antahio.
If your father says ‘That is okay’, then I know I will be safe. But if he becomes extremely angry, you will know that he is determined to harm me.
8 Hagi kagra eri'za vahekamo'na knare kavukva hunante'nane. Na'ankure kagra Ra Anumzamofo avufi eri'za vaheka'amo'na so'ema huta manisu'a huvempagea hunante'nane. Hagi kagra navrenka negafantera ovunka, nagrama mago havizama hu'nenugenka, kagraka'a nahe frio.
Please be kind to me. Yahweh heard you when you made a solemn agreement with me [that you and I will always be loyal friends]. If I deserve to be punished [MTY], kill me yourself. I do not want [RHQ] you to allow your father to punish [IDM] me.”
9 Higeno Jonatani'a huno, i'o anara osugahue. Nenfa'ma kahekema hanige'na ame' hu'na kasamigahue.
Jonathan replied, “I will never do that! But if I find out that my father is determined to harm/kill you, I will certainly warn you.” [RHQ]
10 Anante Deviti'a Jonatanina asamino, Ana nanekema negafama asami'nankeno arimpama ahenantenia nanekea iza erino ome nasamigahie?
David asked him, “How will I find out if your father answers you harshly?”
11 Anagema higeno'a Jonatania Devitinkura huno, Egeta hoza agupofi magoka va'mneno, huno Jonatani'a higeke, magoka vu'na'e.
Jonathan replied, “Come with me. We will go out into the field.” So they went together out into the field.
12 Anante Jonatani'a anage huno Devitina asami'ne, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamofo avufi huvempage huankino, tare knama evanige'na, nenfa'ma kahekema hania nanekea antahigahoanki'na, arimpa fruma hugante'nia kea eme kasamigahue.
There Jonathan said to David, “I promise this while Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], is listening: At this time the day after tomorrow, I will find out what my father [is thinking about you]. If he is saying good things about you, I will certainly send a message to you to tell that to you [RHQ].
13 Hianagi nenfa'ma kahenaku'ma hanige'na, eme okasami'nugenka frenka kagu'ma ovazisankeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a nagrira nona hunanteno nahe frigahie. Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a nenfa'enema nemaniaza huno kagri'enena manigahie.
But if he is planning to hurt/kill you, I will enable you to know [IDM] that, and enable you to go away safely. I desire that Yahweh will punish me severely if I do not do that [for you]. I desire/hope that Yahweh will be with you [and help you] like he has helped my father.
14 Hagi kagrima Ra Anumzamo'ma knarema hugantenigenka maninka vanunka, nagrira knare hunantenka nahe ofriho.
But while I am still alive, please be kind to me in the same way that Yahweh is kind to me, and do not kill me [when you become king].
15 Hagi Devitiga ha' vahekamofoma ama mopafinti'ma Ra Anumzamo'ma zamahe vagamaresigenka, nagri nagara knare kavukva huzmantenka vuo.
But [if I die, ] never stop being kind to my family, [even] after Yahweh has gotten rid of all your enemies all over the earth.”
16 Anante Jonatani'a Devitinkura amanage hu'ne, kagrane amama huvempa kema hu'a nanekea kagrane nagakanena tamagera okaniho. Hagi nagri'ma navesiana ha' vaheka'a Ra Anumzamo'a Agra'a hara huzmantesie.
[David agreed]. So Jonathan made a solemn agreement with David. And he said, “I hope/desire that Yahweh will get rid of all your enemies.”
17 Hagi Jonatani'a mago'ane tragoteke manisa'a huvempage Devitina hunte'ne. Na'ankure Jonatani'a agra'agu'ma ave'nesiaza huno Devitina tusiza huno avesi ante'negu anara hu'ne.
And Jonathan requested David to repeat his solemn promise to be his close friend, because Jonathan loved David as much as he loved himself.
18 Anante Jonatani'a Devitina asamino, Okina kasefa ikante'ma musenkase hu'za ne'za nenaza knagino, ana musenkasema hanafina kagri tramo'a amane megahie.
Then Jonathan said, “Tomorrow we will celebrate the Festival of the New Moon. When you are not sitting at your place when we eat, my father will (miss you/see that you are not there).
19 Hagi nampa 3 knazupa kinaga, ko'ma frakinkama mani'nana have kevuma me'nerega ame hunka umanio.
The day after tomorrow, in the evening, go to the place where you hid before. Wait by the pile of stones.
20 Hagi nagra 3'a kevea mafe'ante'na ana haverega ahetregahue.
I will come out and shoot three arrows as though I were trying to shoot at a target. [The arrows will hit the ground] close to the pile of stones.
21 Hagi mago eri'za rise'ma hunte'na kamakaziga keveme'neanki ome hakenka erinka eno hu'na huntesogenka, amne egahane. Na'ankure tamage huno Ra Anumzana mani'negu mago kazeri haviza hu'zana kagritera forera osugahie.
Then I will send a boy to bring the arrows back to me. If you hear me say to him, ‘They are closer to me’, then as surely as Yahweh lives, you will know that everything is fine, [and that Saul will not kill you].
22 Hianagi ana riseku'ma hu'na kevea kame kaziga me'neanki ome erio hanugenka, e'i ame hunka atrenka vuogu hugahue. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo omenka vuo huno hugantegahie.
But if I tell him, ‘The arrows are farther away’, you will know that you must leave immediately, because Yahweh wants you to run away.
23 Hagi kagrane nagranema huvempa kema hu'noa zamofona Ra Anumzamo'a agrake keno antahino hu'negu kagra ana kemofona amage'anto.
I hope/desire that Yahweh will watch you and me and enable us to never forget what we have promised each other.”
24 Hagi Deviti'a anantega frakino mani'negeno, kini ne'mo'a kasefa ikante'ma musenkase hu'za ne'zama nenaza knarera ne'zama nenaza tratera emani'ne.
So David went and hid in the field. When the Festival of the New Moon started, the king sat down to eat.
25 Hagi kini ne'mo'a ne'za nenaku ko'ma nehiaza huno nomofo asarega amagena renteno rutragoteno emanigeno, mago kaziga Jonatani mani'geno, mago kaziga Abna mani'neanagi Devitima nemania trara amne me'ne.
He sat where he usually sat, close to the wall. Jonathan sat across from him, and Abner [the army commander] sat next to Saul. But no one was sitting in the place where David [usually sat].
26 Hagi Soli'a ana zupa nanekea osu'ne. Na'ankure agrama agesama antahiana Deviti'a mago'aza huno agra'a azeri pehana hu'neno ome'ne huno antahine.
On that day, Saul did not say anything about David, because he was thinking, “Something must have happened that caused David to become unacceptable [to worship God].”
27 Hianagi nampa 2 kna zupanena Deviti'ma nemania tramo'a amne me'ne. Ana higeno Soli'a nemofo Jonatanina asamino, Devitima nemania tramo'a amne me'neana na'agafare Jesi nemofo Deviti'a okine meninena ne'za ne'tratera ome'ne?
But the next day, when David was not sitting at the place where he usually sat, Saul asked Jonathan, “Why has that son of Jesse not been here to eat with us yesterday and today?”
28 Higeno Jonatani'a kenona huno, Deviti'a Betlehemu vunaku tutu huno nantahigeno,
Jonathan replied, “David earnestly requested me that I permit him to go to Bethlehem.
29 natrege'na va'neno, na'ankure naga'nimo'za rankumapi kresramana nevazageno, nafuhe'za ke hazanki'na ame hu'na vugahue. Hagi navesi nante'nunka hunantege'na nafuhei'na ome zamage'nue hige'na, huntogeno vu'ne. E'i ana agafare ama tratera omani'ne.
He said, ‘Please allow me to go, because our family is going to offer a sacrifice. My [older] brother insisted that I be there. So please allow me to go to be with my [older] brothers.’ [I allowed David to go], and that is the reason that he is not here eating with you.”
30 Hagi Soli'a Jonatanina tusi arimpa ahenenteno anage hu'ne, Kagra keontahi savri a'mofo mofavre mani'nananki, Devitima kagri noma erino kinima manino kazeri kagaze nehuno, negrerama agazema eri amisia zankura ontahinka Devitina aza hu'nano?
Saul was (furious/very angry) with Jonathan. He yelled at him, “You stupid bastard [EUP]! I know that you are being loyal to that son of Jesse. By doing that, you will bring shame to yourself and to your mother.
31 Na'ankure Jesi nemofo'ma ofri'noma mani'nenigenka, tamagerafa hunka kinia omanigahane. Hagi mago'a vahe huzmantege'za vu'za ome avre'za esnage'na ahe fri'neno.
As long as Jesse’s son is living, you will never become the king, and you will never rule over a kingdom! So now, summon David, and bring him to me. He must be executed!”
32 Hianagi Jonatani'a huno, Naza agra havizana hu'ne? Nagafare agra frigahie?
Jonathan asked his father, “Why should David be executed? What wrong has he done?”
33 Anagema higeno'a Soli'a Jonatanina ahe frinaku karugru kevereti re'neanagi, mani'ganegeno hantga hu'ne. E'inama higeno'a tamage nenfa'a Devitina ahe frigahie huno Jonatani'a antahi'ne.
Then Saul threw his spear at Jonathan in order to kill him, [but the spear did not hit him]. So Jonathan knew that his father really wanted to kill David.
34 Hagi Jonatani'a nefana tusi arimpa ahenenteno ese ikamofona nampa 2 knarera, ne'zana oneno otino atreno vu'ne. Na'ankure nefa'ma Deviti agima eri havizama hiazanku anara hu'ne.
Jonathan was very angry, and he left the room. On that second day of the festival, he refused to eat anything. He was disgusted about what his father had done, and he was worried about David.
35 Hagi anante nanterana Jonatani'a mago eri'za rise nevreno Deviti'ene keaga ome hunaku kema hunte'nate hoza agupofi vu'ne.
The following morning Jonathan went out to the field to give a message to David, like he had agreed that he would do. He took a young boy with him.
36 Hagi ana eri'za risera asmino, Kagarirenka vunka kevema ahetrenua kevea ome hakenka erio, higeno ana rise'mo'a agareno nevigeno Jonatani'a kevea ana risera ahe agatereno ogamanu'a avuga ahe'ne.
Jonathan said to the boy, “Run and find the arrows that I shoot.” The boy started running, and Jonathan shot an arrow ahead of the boy.
37 Hagi ana eri'za rise'mo'ma kevema ome akasinaku anante'ma vigeno'a, Jonatani'a ke'zatimino, Kevemo'a ogamu'a me'neanki,
When the boy ran to the place where the arrow hit the ground, Jonathan called out, “The arrow is further away!” [RHQ]
38 omaninka ame hunka vuo! Hagi Jonatani eri'za rise'mo'a ana kevea ome erino ete rukrahe huno kva'amofontega e'ne.
Then he shouted to the boy, “Act quickly; do not wait! Do not stop!” The boy picked up the arrow and brought it back to Jonathan.
39 Hagi e'i ana mikozama hiazamofo agafa'a ana eri'za risemo'a antahi amara osu'neanki, Jonatanike Devitike zanagrake antahi'na'e.
But the boy did not understand the meaning of what Jonathan had said; only Jonathan and David knew.
40 Hagi Jonatani'a ati'ane keve'anena ana eri'za risemofo nemino, erinka kumatega vuo.
Then Jonathan gave his bow and arrows to the boy and told him, “Go back to the town.”
41 Higeno ana eri'za rise'ma vutegeno'a, Deviti'a have kevumofo amefima fraki'nefintira atiramino eno Jonatanina agafi eme arena reno, 3'a zupa kepri hu'ne. Hagi zanagra onuki, anuki huke zanagi ohene ahene nehu'ne, taregamokea zavi ate'na'e. Hianagi Deviti'a tusiza huno zavira ate'ne.
When the boy left, David came out from the south side of the pile of stones behind which he had been hiding. He went to Jonathan and bowed [in front of Jonathan] three times, with his face touching the ground. Then David and Jonathan kissed each other [on the cheek/neck], and they cried together. But David cried more than Jonathan.
42 Hagi Jonatani'a amanage huno Devitina asmi'ne, Karimpa frune vuo. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamofo avure huvempage hu'noankita ronema huno'azana, Ra Anumzamo amu'nontifina mani'neno maka knafima kagripinti'ma fore'ma hania vahe'ene nagripinti'ma fore'ma hania vahera keno antahino hanie. Hutegeno Deviti'a nevigeno, Jonatani'a ete kumatega vu'ne.
Jonathan said to David, “May things go well for you as you go. Yahweh has heard what we solemnly promised to always do for each other, and what we said that our descendants must do for each other.” Then David left, and Jonathan went back to the town.
