1 Samue 26
1 Hagi mago zupa Soli'a Gibea kumate mani'nege'za, Sifi kumate vahe'mo'za eme asami'za, Deviti'a Hakila agonafi Jesmonima avugosama hunte'nea kaziga frakino mani'ne.
One day [some of] the people of Ziph [town] went to Saul while he was at Gibeah, and they said to him, “David is hiding in a cave on Hakilah hill, across from Jeshimon [town].”
2 Hazageno Soli'a 3 tauseni'a hanave Israeli sondia vahe zamavareno, Sifi ka'ma kokampi Devitinku hakenaku vu'ne.
So Saul chose 3,000 of the best Israeli soldiers and went with them to Ziph Desert to search for David.
3 Hagi Soli'a Jesmoni tava'onte Hakila agonafi seli nonku'ma ome kino mani'ne. Hianagi Deviti'a ka'ma kopi mani'neno, Soli'ma agriku'ma hakeno eazamofo kea nentahino,
Saul and his men set up their tents close to the road on Hakilah hill, east of Jeshimon [town], but David [and his men] stayed in the desert. When David heard that Saul was searching for him,
4 mago'a afure vahe huzamantege'za, Soli'ma emani'nenigura ome ke'naze.
he sent some spies to find out for certain that Saul had come to Hakilah.
5 Hagi anantetira Deviti'a otino Soli'ma seli nonkuma eme anteno mani'nerega vu'ne. Hagi Soli'ene sondia vahete kva ne'a Neri nemofo Abnakea Sondia vahe'mo'za masegagizageno amu'nompi masenakeno, Deviti'a ana kenagera rerakaureno ome zanage'ne.
Then [that evening] David went to the place where Saul had set up his tent. [From a distance] he saw where Saul and his army commander, Abner, were sleeping. Saul was sleeping with all his army [sleeping] around him.
6 Hagi Deviti'a Hiti ne' Ahimelekine, Zeruia nemofo Joapu nefu Abisaikizni zanantahigeno, Iza navega hanige'na Soli'ma seli noma eme kino'ma mani'nerega uramigahue. Anage higeno Abisai'a huno, Nagra kagrane uramigahue.
David [went back to where his men were and] talked to Ahimelech, who was from the Heth people-group, and Joab’s brother Abishai, whose mother was [David’s older sister] Zeruiah. He asked them, “Who will go with me down into the camp where Saul is?” Abishai replied, “I will go with you.”
7 Higeno Deviti'ene Abisaikea ana kenagera Soli'ma seli nonku'ma anteno mani'nefi ufre'na'e. Anampima ufrene ome ka'ana, Soli'a kuma amu'nompi karugru keve'a asenirega retru renenteno, masenegeno, Abna'ene mago'a sondia vahe'mo'zanena Solina mase kagi ante'nage'za ome ke'na'e.
So that night David and Abishai crept into Saul’s camp. They saw that Saul was asleep. His spear was stuck in the ground near his head. Saul was asleep in the middle of the camp. Abner [the army commander] and the other soldiers were sleeping around Saul.
8 Hagi Abisai'a Devitina asamino, Menina Anumzamo'a ha' vaheka'a kazampi avrenteanki, natrege'na krugru kevereti magoke zupa reharuharu hu'na mopare rekamarenta'neno.
Abishai whispered to David, “Today Yahweh has enabled us to kill your enemy! Allow me to fasten Saul to the ground [by thrusting] my spear into him. It will be necessary for me to strike him only once. I will not [need to] strike him twice.”
9 Hianagi Deviti'a Abisaina asamino, Ohenka atro. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamofonte'ma masavema frenteno huhamprinte'nea vahe'ma ahesuta'a, hazenkefi manigahue.
But David whispered to Abishai, “No, do not kill Saul. Yahweh has appointed him to be king, so Yahweh will surely [RHQ] punish anyone who kills him.
10 Deviti'a mago'ane huno, Ra Anumzamo Agra'a ahe frise. Hagi ozafama resuno frige, hapi uraminige'za ahe frige hugahaze.
Just as surely as Yahweh lives, he himself will punish Saul. Perhaps Yahweh will strike him when it is Saul’s time to die, or perhaps Saul will be killed in a battle.
11 Hianagi Ra Anumzamofonte'ma masavema frenteno huhamprinte'nea nera ahefrio huno hu izora huonante'ne. Hagi menina Soli keve'ane tintafema'ane aseniregama me'neana erigeta amafintira atiramita va'maneno.
But I hope/desire that Yahweh will prevent me from harming the king whom he has appointed. Let’s take Saul’s spear and water jug that are near his head. Then let’s get out of here!”
12 Hagi Soli asenirega me'nea kevene, tintafema'anena Deviti'a erigeke vu'na'e. Hagi anama ha'azana mago vahe'mo'e huno keno antahino osu'ne. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a ana miko vahera zamazeri zamavutoko hige'za, mase himre'nazageke anara hu'na'e.
So David took the spear and the jug, and he and Abishai left. No one saw them or knew what they were doing, and no one woke up, because Yahweh had caused them to be sound asleep.
13 Hagi Deviti'a vuno mago agona kantu kaziga me'nea agonare afete ome oti'ne.
David and Abishai went across the valley and climbed to the top of the hill, a long way from Saul’s camp.
14 Ananteti Deviti'a Abnane sondia vahe'anena kezana atizamino, Abnaga antufina mani'nano, higeno Abna'a huno, Kagra izaga kini nemofonkura kezankea nehane.
Then David shouted to Abner, “Abner, can you hear me?” Abner [woke up and] replied “Who are you, [waking up] the king by calling out to him?”
15 Higeno Deviti'a huno, Abnaga kagri'ma kagatere'nea harafa vahera Israeli agu'afina iza mani'ne? Na'a higenka kini nera kegava huontankeno, ahenaku'ma nehia vahe'mo'a ahe'zana hu'ne?
David replied, “[I am sure that] you are the greatest man in Israel [IRO, RHQ]! So why did you not guard your master, the king? Someone came into your camp in order to kill your master, the king.
16 Kagra knare kavukavara osane. Na'ankure kagrane sondia vahekanena Ra Anumzamofonte'ma masavema frenteno huhamprinte'nea vahe'ma kegava huontazankita tamagra frigahaze. Hagi kini ne'mofo aseniregama me'nea keve'ane tintafema'a iga me'nefi keho?
You have done a very poor [job of guarding Saul]. So just as surely as Yahweh lives, you and your men should be executed! You have not guarded your master whom Yahweh appointed to be the king. Where are the king’s spear and the water jug that were close to his head?”
17 Higeno Soli'ma Deviti ageru'ma nentahino'a kezatino, nenamofoga Devitiga nehano. Higeno Deviti'a kenona huno, ranimoka, kini nera nagri nageru nentahine.
[The shouting woke] Saul [up and he] recognized that it was David’s voice. He called out, saying, “My son David, is that your voice?” David replied, “Yes, your majesty it is my voice.”
18 Deviti'a Solina asamino, Na'ante ranimoka eri'za vahekamo'na narotago nehane? Na'a nagra hugante'noe? Nagra na'a havizana hu'noe?
Then David added, “Sir, why are you pursuing me [RHQ]? What wrong have I done [RHQ]?
19 Hagi kininimoka eri'za vahekamo'na hanua nanekea antahinamio, kagrima Ra Anumzamo'ma kazeri oti'nigenkama ha'ma renenante'nankeno'a, ofama hananana antahigamigahie. Hianagi vahe'mo'ma kazeri otisigenkama ama anazama nehanankeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a kazusi huzmantegahie. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'ma erisintima haregahane hu'nea mopafintira naratogo nehu'za, ru anumzante mono ome hunto hu'za hu'naze.
Your majesty, listen to me! If Yahweh has caused you to be angry with me, I should offer a sacrifice [in order to appease him]. But if it is people who have caused you to be angry with me, I hope/desire that Yahweh will curse them. They have forced me to leave the land that Yahweh gave to me. They have told me, ‘Go somewhere else and worship other gods!’
20 Hagi atregeno koranimo'a, Ra Anumzamofo tava'ontetira atreno ru mopafina tagi oramino. Hagi Israeli vahe kinimoka, kagra na'ante hinimagu hakeankna hunka nagrikura nehakenka, agonafi namagu hakeanknara nehane?
Now do not force me to die [MTY] far from [where we worship] Yahweh. You, the king of Israel, have come here searching for me. [But I do not want to harm you]! I am [as harmless as] a flea [MET]. You are searching for me like people hunt for a bird in the mountains! [MET]”
21 Anante Soli'a huno, Nagra kumi huanki nenamofo Divitiga mago'ane kagrira kazeri havizana osugahuanki ete eno. Na'ankure ko nahantesinagi, nagrira antahinaminka onahenka natre'nane. Nagra tamage hu'na neginagi'za hu'na havi avu'ava zantfa hu'noe.
Then Saul said, “David, my son. I have sinned [by trying to kill you]. So come back home. Today you have considered my life to be very valuable [and so you have not killed me]. So I will not try to harm you. I have made a big mistake and have acted foolishly.”
22 Hagi Deviti'a huno, kini ne'moka kevea ama me'neanki, mago nehaza ne' huntegeno eme erino.
David replied, [“will leave] your spear here. Send one of your young men here to get it.
23 Hagi fatgo zamavu'zmava nehu'za, kazigazi hu'za ke'ama amage'ma nentaza vahera, Ra Anumzamo'a ana zamavu'zamavatera mi'zana nezamie. Hagi menina Ra Anumzamo'a kagrira nazampi kavrenteanagi, kahe ofri'noe. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo masave freganteno kazeri oti'ne.
Yahweh rewards us for the things that we do that are right and for being loyal [to him]. Even when Yahweh placed me where I could easily have killed you, I refused to do that, because you are the one whom Yahweh has appointed [MTY] to be the king.
24 Hagi menina kagri'ma antahigami'na onkahorera, Ra Anumzamo'a antahinamino onaheno, miko hazenke zampintira naza hugahie.
Just like I considered your life to be valuable [and spared your life] today, I hope/desire that Yahweh will consider my life to be valuable and [spare my life and] save me from all my troubles.”
25 Anante Soli'a Devitinku huno, Mofavrenimoka, Ra Anumzamo'a asomu hugante'nigenka ranraza nehunka, hara agateregahane. Anage huteke Deviti'a neviana, Soli'a kuma'arega ete vu'ne.
Then Saul said to David, “My son David, I pray that Yahweh will bless you. You will do great things very successfully.” Then David returned to his men, and Saul went back home.
