1 Hamuera 19
1 Na ka korero a Haora ki a Honatana, ki tana tama, ratou ko ana tangata katoa, kia whakamatea a Rawiri.
And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that he would kill David. But Jonathan the son of Saul delighted greatly in David.
2 Otiia nui atu te whakaahuareka o Honatana, tama a Haora, ki a Rawiri. Na ka korero a Honatana ki a Rawiri, ka mea, E whai ana toku papa, a Haora kia whakamatea koe: na kia tupato ki a koe i te ata, me noho ki te wahi ngaro, ka huna ai i a koe;
And Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee; now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself in the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:
3 A ka puta atu ahau, ka tu ki te taha o toku papa i te mara kei reira nei koe, na ka korerotia koe e ahau ki toku papa, a ko taku e kite ai ka korerotia e ahau ki a koe.
And I will go out and stand by the side of my father in the field where thou art, and I myself will speak of thee to my father; and I will see what it is, and I will tell thee.
4 Na ka korerotia paitia a Rawiri e Honatana ki tona papa, ki a Haora; i mea ia ki a ia, Kei hara te kingi ki tana pononga, ki a Rawiri; kahore hoki ona hara ki a koe, he nui rawa hoki te pai o ana mahi ki a koe.
And Jonathan spoke favorably of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; since he hath not sinned against thee, and because his deeds are very good for thee;
5 I whakamomori atu na hoki ia ki te mate, a patua iho te Pirihitini, na he nui te whakaoranga i whakaora ai a Ihowa i a Iharaira katoa: i kite koe, i koa hoki, a he aha ra koe ka hara ai ki nga toto harakore, ka whakamate noa iho ai i a Rawiri?
And he did put his life in his hand, and he slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a great salvation for all Israel; thou sawest it, and wast rejoiced: wherefore then wilt thou commit sin on innocent blood, by slaying David without a cause?
6 Na ka whakarongo a Haora ki te reo o Honatana; a ka oati a Haora, E ora ana a Ihowa, e kore ia e whakamatea.
And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul swore, As the Lord liveth, he shall not be put to death.
7 Na ka karangatia a Rawiri e Honatana, a whakaaturia ana e Honatana enei mea katoa ki a ia. Na kawea ana a Rawiri e Honatana ki a Haora; a noho ana ia ki tona aroaro, pera i mua.
And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these words. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.
8 Na he whawhai ano tera: a haere ana a Rawiri ki te whawhai ki nga Pirihitini, a patua iho ratou e ia, he nui te parekura, a whati ana ratou i tona aroaro.
And the war occurred again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and smote them with a great defeat, and they fled from before him.
9 Na kua puta he wairua kino i a Ihowa ki a Haora, i a ia e noho ana i tona whare, me tana tao i tona ringa; a ko Rawiri i whakatangi i te hapa ki tona ringa.
And the evil spirit from the Lord came upon Saul, and he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand.
10 Na ka whai a Haora kia werohia a Rawiri ki te tao, kia titi pu ki te pakitara; otiia i whakahipa ia i te aroaro o Haora, a akina kautia ana e tera te tao ki te pakitara; ko Rawiri ia i rere, i mawhiti i taua po.
And Saul sought to strike David through with the spear even to the wall; but he slipped away from before Saul, who struck the spear into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.
11 Na ka tono karere a Haora ki te whare o Rawiri, ki te whanga ki a ia, kia whakamatea ia i te ata. Na ka korerotia ki a Rawiri, ki te whanga ki a ia, kia whakamatea ia i te ata. Na ka korerotia ki a Rawiri e Mikara, e tana wahine; i mea, Ki te ka hore koe e whakaora i a koe i tenei po, apopo koe whakamatea ai.
But Saul sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning; and Michal his wife told it to David, saying, If thou save not thy life this night, tomorrow thou wilt be put to death.
12 Heoi ka tukua iho a Rawiri e Mikara na te matapihi: a ka haere ia, ka rere, ka ora.
And Michal let David down through the window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
13 Na ka mau a Mikara ki tetahi whakapakoko, a whakatakotoria ana e ia ki te moenga, i whakatakotoria iho ano e ia tetahi urunga huruhuru koati ki to tera urunga, hipokina iho ki te kakahu.
And Michal took an image, and put it in the bed, and a pillow of goats' hair she put for its head to rest on, and covered it with a cloth.
14 A, no te tononga a Haora i nga tangata ki te tiki i a Rawiri, ka mea tera, E mate ana ia.
And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.
15 Na ka tono ano a Haora i nga karere kia kite i a Rawiri, ka mea, Kawea mai ki ahau i runga i te moenga, kia whakamatea ia e ahau.
And Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may put him to death.
16 A, i te taenga atu o nga karere, na ko te whakapakoko i te moenga, me te urunga huruhuru koati i te wahi ki tona pane.
And when the messengers were come in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats' hair for its head to rest on.
17 Na ka mea a Haora ki a Mikara, Na te aha koe i tinihanga nei ki ahau, i tuku nei i toku hoariri kia haere, a mawhiti atu ana ia? Ano ra ko Mikara ki a Haora, Nana ra i ki mai ki ahau, Tukua ahau kia haere; kia whakamate ahau i a koe hei aha?
And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou thus deceived me, and sent away my enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal said to Saul, He said unto me, Let me go away: why should I kill thee?
18 Heoi ka rere a Tawiri, a mawhiti atu ana; tae tonu atu ki a Hamuera, ki Rama, a korerotia ana ki a ia nga mea katoa i mea ai a Haora ki a ia. Na ka haere raua ko Hamuera, a noho ana raua ki Naioto.
So David fled, and escaped, and came unto Samuel to Ramah, and he told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and remained in Nayoth.
19 A i korerotia te korero ki a Haora, Ko Rawiri tera kei Naiota o Rama e noho ana.
And it was told unto Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Nayoth near Ramah.
20 Na ka tono tangata a Haora ki te hopu i a Rawiri: na, i to ratou kitenga i te ropu poropiti e poropiti ana, me Hamuera e tu ana hei tumuaki mo ratou, ka tau iho te wairua o te Atua ki nga tangata a Haora, a poropiti ana hoki ratou.
And Saul sent messengers to take David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as superintendent over them: then came upon the messengers of Saul the spirit of God, and they also prophesied.
21 A, no ka korerotia ki a Haora, ka tono ia i etahi atu tangata, a ka poropiti ano ratou. Na ko te toru o nga tononga tangata ano a Haora, a poropiti ana ano hoki ratou.
And when it was told to Saul, he sent other messengers, and these prophesied likewise. And Saul sent again messengers the third time, and these also prophesied.
22 Katahi ka haere ko ia hoki ki Rama, a ka tae ki te puna nui i Heku; a ka ui ia, ka mea, Kei hea a Hamuera raua ko Rawiri? ka mea ko tetahi, Nana, kei Naioto o Rama.
Then went he himself also to Ramah, and came as far as the great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And some one said, Behold, they are at Nayoth near Ramah.
23 Na ka haere ia ki reira, ki Naioto o Rama; a ka tau iho te wairua o te Atua ki a ia ano hoki; na ka haere ia, me te poropiti haere, a tae noa ki Naioto o Rama.
And he went thither to Nayoth near Ramah: and there came upon him also the Spirit of God, and he went on, and prophesied as he went, until he came to Nayoth near Ramah.
24 A i huia hoki e ia ona kakahu, a poropiti ana ano ia i te aroaro o Hamuera; a takoto tahanga ana ia i taua ra katoa, me taua po katoa. Na reira ta ratou kupu, Kei roto ano koia a Haora i nga poropiti?
And he also stripped off his clothes, and he also prophesied himself before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore people are in the habit of saying, Is Saul too among the prophets?
