1 Ke tari sramsram lal Saul ac David, na Jonathan, wen natul Saul, el mutawauk in arulana lungse David. Lungse lal Jonathan nu sel David arulana yohk, oana ke el lungse el sifacna.
[And it came to pass when he had finished speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David and David loved him ] [as his own soul. ]
2 Mutawauk ke len sac fahla, Saul el sap David elan mutana yorol ac tia fuhlella elan som nu yen sel ah.
[And Saul took him in that day, and did not suffer him to return to his father's house. ]
3 Jonathan el orala fulahk lal tuh el David ac fah kawuk nwe tok, mweyen el lungse David na pwaye.
[And Jonathan and David made a covenant because he loved him as his own soul. ]
4 Jonathan el sarukla nuknuk lal ac sang nu sel David, wi nuknuk in mweun lal, ac cutlass natul, ac pisr natul, ac pel lal.
[And Jonathan stripped himself of his ] [upper garment, and gave it to David, and his mantle and all he had upon him, even to his sword and to his bow, and to his girdle. ]

[And David went out withersoever Saul sent him, and ] [acted wisely, and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was pleasing in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul. ]
6 Ke David el foloko tukun el unilya Goliath, ac ke mwet mweun elos wi pac foloko nu yen selos, mutan in siti nukewa in acn Israel elos tuku in paingul Tokosra Saul. Elos engan ac on, ac elos tacn ac srital ke mwe srital tambourine ac lyre.
And there came out women in dances to meet David out of all the cities of Israel, with timbrels, and with rejoicing, and with cymbals.
7 Kutu kas ke on in kaksak lalos an fahk ouinge, “Saul el uniya tausin, a David el uniya ngoul tausin.”
And the women began [the strain], and said, Saul has struck his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
8 Saul el tia lungse kas inge, ac el mutawauk in kasrkusrak. El fahk, “Mwet uh fahk mu David el uniya ngoul tausin a nga tausin na. Ac tia paht na elos ac oru David elan tokosra!”
And it seemed evil in the eyes of Saul concerning this matter, and he said, To David they have given ten thousands, and to me they have given thousands. [And what more can he have but the kingdom? ]
9 In len sac me, Saul el sok ac sensen na sel David.
[And Saul eyed David from that day and onward. ]
10 In len tok ah, sie ngun koluk sin God me sifil sikyang nu sel Saul, ac el kasrkusrak ac kunaus lohm sel oana mwet wel se. David el muta srital ke harp, oana ke el muta oru len nukewa. Ac Saul el sruok osra soko inpaol.
[And it came to pass on the morrow that an evil spirit from God fell upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David was playing on the harp with his hand, according to his daily custom. And Saul’s spear was in his hand. ]
11 Saul el sifacna nunku insial, “Nga ac faksilya David nu ke pesinka in lohm uh.” Na el faksel David ke osra soko ah pacl luo, a David el iwalla kewa.
[And Saul took his spear and said, I will strike David even to the wall. But David escaped twice from his presence. ]
12 Saul el sangeng sel David mweyen LEUM GOD El welul David a El som lukel Saul.
And Saul was alarmed on account of David.
13 Na Saul el supwalla David ac sapkin tuh elan mwet kol fin sie tausin mwet mweun. David el kol mwet lal inge nu ke mweun,
And he removed him from him, and made him a captain of a thousand for himself; and he went out and came in before the people.
14 ac wo ouiyen ma nukewa el oru, mweyen LEUM GOD El welul.
And David was prudent in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
15 Ke Saul el liye lah David el orala ma nukewa wo, el sifil sangeng sel yohk liki meet.
And Saul saw that he was very wise, and he was afraid of him.
16 Tusruktu mwet nukewa in Israel ac Judah elos lungse David ke sripen el mwet kol na wowo se.
And all Israel and Juda loved David, because he came in and went out before the people.
17 Na Saul el fahk nu sel David, “Acn se nutik ma matu pa inge. El pa Merab. Nga ac eisalot tuh elan mutan kiom. Tuh ma se na, wulela nu sik lah kom ac fah kulansupweyu ke pwaye ac pulaik, oayapa kom fah mweun ke mweun lun LEUM GOD.” (Saul el oru nunak se inge tuh mwet Philistia in mau unilya David, ac in tia el pa sifacna unilya.)
[And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merob, I will give her to you to Wife, only be you to me a mighty man and fight the wars of the Lord. And Saul said, Let not my hand be upon him, but the hand of the Philistines shall be upon him. ]
18 Ac David el fahk, “Ku su nga uh, ac su sou luk uh, ku nga in wen talupan tokosra?”
[And David said to Saul, Who am I, and What is the life of my father’s family in Israel, that I should be the king’s son—in-law? ]
19 Tusruktu, ke pacl fal tuh Merab elan itukyang nu sel David, Saul el eisalang nu sin sie pacna mukul pangpang Adriel, sie mwet Meholah.
[But it came to pass at the time when Merob Saul’s daughter should have been given to David, that she was given to Israel the Mothulathite to wife. ]
20 Sie pac acn natul Saul uh pa Michal, ac el lungse David. Ke Saul el lohng, el engan kac.
And Melchol the daughter of Saul loved David; and it was told Saul, and the thing was pleasing in his eyes.
21 El sifacna fahk insial, “Nga ac eisalang Michal kial David. Nga fah oru tuh elan sie mwe kwasrip nu sel David, ac David el ac fah anwuki sin mwet Philistia.” Pa inge pacl se akluo Saul el fahk nu sel David, “Kom ac fah wen talupuk.”
And Saul said, I will give her to him, and she shall be a stumbling block to him. Now the hand of the Philistines was against Saul.
22 Ac Saul el sap mwet pwapa lal in som sramsram lukma nu sel David ac fahk nu sel, “Tokosra el insewowo sum, ac mwet pwapa nukewa elos lungse kom. Inge pacl na wo nu sum tuh kom in payukyak sin acn se natul tokosra.”
And Saul charged his servants, saying, Speak you privately to David, saying, Behold, the king delights in you, and all his servants love you, and do you becomes the king's son-in-law.
23 Na mwet inge elos fahkang kas se inge nu sel David. Ac David el topuk, “Tia ma pilasr se tuh sie mwet in payuk sin acn nutin tokosra. Sie mwet lusrongten ac sukasrup oana nga, ac tuh arulana kupansuwol.”
And the servants of Saul spoke these words in the ears of David; and David said, [Is it] a light thing in your eyes to become son-in-law to the king? Whereas I [am] an humble man, an not honourable?
24 Na mwet pwapa elos tafweang kas lal David inge nu sel Saul,
And the servants of Saul reported to him according to these words, which David spoke.
25 ac Saul el sapkin tuh elos in fahkang nu sel David, “Pwayena ma tokosra el enenu sum in sang moli acn se natul ah, pa kulun ma lun mukul siofok ma misa lun mwet Philistia, tuh in mwe foloksak lal nu sin mwet lokoalok lal.” (Saul el oru pwapa lukma se inge tuh mwet Philistia in mau unilya David.)
And Saul said, Thus shall you speak to David, The king wants no gift but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to avenge himself on the kings enemies. Now Saul thought to cast him into the hands of the Philistines.
26 Ke mwet pwapa lal Saul elos fahkang kas lal inge nu sel David, na David el engan lah el ac wen talupal tokosra. Meet liki len in marut,
And the servants of Saul report these words to David, and David was well pleased to become the son-in-law to the king.
27 David el eis mwet lal som ac uniya mwet Philistia luofoko. El eisla kulun ma mukul kaclos ac usla nu yorol tokosra, ac oakla nufon ye mutal in akfalye tuh elan wen talupal. Ke ma inge, Saul el enenu na elan eisalang Michal, acn natul, tuh elan payuk sel David.
And David arose, and went, he and his men, and struck amongst the Philistines a hundred men: and he brought their foreskins, and he becomes the king's son-in-law, and [Saul] gives him Melchol his daughter to wife.
28 Saul el akilen na lah LEUM GOD El welul David, oayapa el akilen lah Michal, acn natul, el lungse David.
And Saul saw that the Lord [was] with David, and [that] all Israel loved him.
29 Ke ma inge, Saul el arulana sangeng sel David yohk liki meet, ac el mwet lokoalok lal David in lusen moul lal tok nufon.
And he was yet more afraid of David.
