Sie Samuel 19
1 Saul el fahk nu sel Jonathan, wen natul, ac nu sin mwet pwapa lal nukewa lah el akoo elan unilya David. Tusruktu, Jonathan el arulana lungse David,
Then Saul ordered his son Jonathan and all his servants to kill David. But Jonathan delighted greatly in David,
2 na pa el fahkang nu sel David, “Papa tumuk el akoo elan unikomi. Nga kwafe sum tuh kom in arulana taran kom lututang. Som wikla ke sie acn lukma ac mutana we.
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 Nga ac fah som tu sisken papa tumuk ke ima se kom wikwik we an, ac nga fah sramsram nu sel keim. Fin oasr ma kalem, nga tufah fahk nu sum.”
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 Jonathan el kaksakunul David nu sel Saul ac fahk, “Lela tokosra elan tia oru kutena ma koluk nu sel David, mwet kulansap lom, mweyen el soenna oru ma koluk nu sum. Ma nukewa el oru mwe kasru yohk nu sum.
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 El pilesrala moul lal ke el tuh unilya Goliath, ac LEUM GOD El sang kutangla lulap nu sin Israel. Ke kom liye ah, kom engan. Na efu ku kom lungsum in oru ma koluk nu sin mwet se inge su wangin mwatal, ac unilya ke wangin sripa?”
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 Saul el auliyak ke sripen ma Jonathan el fahk ah, ac el oru sie wulela ku Inen LEUM GOD lah el ac fah tia unilya David.
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 Na Jonathan el pangnolma David ac fahkang ma nukewa nu sel. Na el usalla David nu yorol Saul, ac David el kulansap nu sel Saul oana meet ah.
So Jonathan summoned David and told him all these things. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul to serve him as he had before.
8 Mwet Philistia elos sifil tuku mweun. David el tuyak ac lainulos ac kutangulosla, ac elos kaing.
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 Sie len ah ngun koluk se sin LEUM GOD sifil sikyang nu sel Saul. El muta in lohm sel, ac osra soko oan inpaol. David el muta yorol ac srital ke harp natul.
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 Saul el srike elan faksulang David nu pesinka uh ke osra soko ah. Tuh David el iwalla, ac osra soko ah kasiki na nu pesinka ah. Na David el illa ac kaingla.
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 In fong sacna, Saul el supwala kutu mwet soan nu lohm sel David, elos in unilya ke lenelik. Michal, mutan kial David, el sensenkakinul ac fahk, “Kom fin tia kaingla ofong, na lutu kom ac anwuki.”
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 Michal el koella David ke winto se, ac el kaingla.
So Michal lowered David from the window, and he ran away and escaped.
13 Na Michal el eis sie ma sruloala ac filiya fin bed kial David ah, ac sang sie ilul ma orek ke unen nani ac filiya ke sifa ah, na el sang kaot se afinya.
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 Ke mwet lal Saul tuku in eisal David, Michal el fahk nu selos mu David el mas.
When Saul sent the messengers to seize David, Michal said, “He is ill.”
15 Na Saul el sifil folokunulosla tuh elos in sifacna liyal David ke mutalos, ac el sapkin nu selos, “Usalu na fin bed kial an, ac nga fah unilya.”
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 Na elos utyak nu in lohm sel David ac liye tuh na ma sruloala se pa oan fin bed sac, ac ilul se ma orek ke unen nani oan ke sifa ah.
And when the messengers entered, there was the idol in the bed with the quilt of goats’ hair on its head.
17 Saul el siyuk sel Michal, “Efu ku kom kiapweyu ouinge, pwanang mwet lokoalok luk kaingla?” Michal el topuk, “El fahk mu el ac uniyuwi nga fin tia kasrel elan kaingla.”
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 David el kaingla nu yorol Samuel in acn Ramah, ac fahkang ma nukewa ma Saul el oru nu sel. Na David ac Samuel som nu Naioth ac muta we.
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 Saul el lohngak lah David el oasr Naioth in Ramah,
When Saul was told that David was at Naioth in Ramah,
20 na el supwala kutu mwet in som ac sruokilya David. Na elos liye un mwet palu tacn ac sasa, ac Samuel el kololos. Na ngun lun God tuku ke ku nu fin mwet lal Saul inge, na elos wi pac tacn ac sasa.
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 Ke Saul el lohngak lah ouinge, na el sifil supwala kutu mwet lal. Ke mwet inge elos tuku, elos wi pac tacn ac sasa. Na Saul el sifilpa supwala fwil se aktolu, ac elos oru oapana.
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 Na Saul sifacna el mukuiyak in som nu Ramah. Ke el sun lufin kof lulap in acn Secu, el siyuk lah pia acn se Samuel ac David muta we. Fwackyang nu sel mu eltal oasr Naioth.
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 Ke el fahsr in som nu Naioth, ngun lun God tuku ke ku nu facl, ac el fahsr tacn ac sasa nwe ke na el sun acn Naioth.
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 El sarukla nuknuk lal ac tacn ac sasa ye mutal Samuel, ac el koflufolla oan in len sac nufon ac fong sac nufon. (Pa inge mutaweyen soakas se fahk mu, “Mea pwaye lah Saul el wela mwet palu?”)
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?”
