1 Samueri 18
1 Dhavhidhi akati apedza kutaura naSauro, Jonatani akanamatirana naDhavhidhi mumweya, uye akamuda sezvaaizvida iye.
And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit on the soul of David; and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
2 Kubva pazuva iroro, Sauro akachengeta Dhavhidhi uye haana kuzomutendera kuti adzokere kumba kwababa vake.
And Saul took him on that day, and would not permit him to go home to his father's house.
3 Uye Jonatani akaita sungano naDhavhidhi nokuti aimuda sezvaaizvida iye.
Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because of his loving him as his own soul.
4 Jonatani akakurura nguo yaakanga akapfeka akaipa kuna Dhavhidhi, pamwe chete nechunika yake, uye kunyange munondo wake, uta hwake nebhanhire rake.
And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that he had upon him, and gave it to David, and likewise his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
5 Chimwe nechimwe chaaitumwa naSauro kuti aite, Dhavhidhi aizviita nomazvo chaizvo zvokuti Sauro akazomupa chinzvimbo chapamusoro-soro muhondo. Izvi zvakafadza vanhu vose, uye namachinda aSaurowo.
And David went out; whithersoever Saul used to send him, he was successful; and Saul set him over the men of war; and he was accepted in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul.
6 Varume vakati vodzoka kumba, mushure mokunge Dhavhidhi auraya muFiristia, vakadzi vakabuda kundochingamidza Mambo Sauro vachibva kumaguta ose eIsraeri vachiimba, vachitamba nziyo dzomufaro, namatambureni nenyere.
And it came to pass as they came home, when David returned from smiting the Philistines, that the women came forth out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with triangles.
7 Pavaitamba, vaiimba vachiti: “Sauro akauraya zviuru zvamazana ake, naDhavhidhi makumi ezviuru zvamazama ake.”
And the women that played answered one another, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
8 Sauro akatsamwa zvikuru; kuimba uku kwakamutsa hasha dzake akati, “Vapa Dhavhidhi makumi ezviuru zvamazana, asi ini zviuru chete. Chimwe chii chaangawana kunze kwoumambo?”
And Saul was very wroth, and this saying was displeasing in his eyes; and he said, They have given unto David ten thousands, and to me they have given the thousands: and all that he lacketh now yet is only the kingdom.
9 Kubva panguva iyoyo Sauro akatarira Dhavhidhi neziso rine godo.
And Saul looked jealous on David from that day and forward.
10 Fume mangwana, mweya wakaipa wakabva kuna Mwari wakauya nesimba pamusoro paSauro. Akanga achiprofita ari mumba make, Dhavhidhi achiridza mbira, sezvaaisiita nguva dzose. Sauro akanga ane pfumo muruoko rwake,
And it came to pass on the morrow, that an evil spirit from God came suddenly over Saul, and he spoke foolish things in the midst of the house: while David was playing with his hand, as on previous days; and the spear was in the hand of Saul.
11 uye akaripotsera, achiti mumwoyo make, “Ndichabayira Dhavhidhi kumadziro.” Asi Dhavhidhi akamunzvenga kaviri kose.
And Saul cast the spear; and he thought, I will strike David through even on the wall. And David turned aside out of his presence twice.
12 Sauro akanga achitya Dhavhidhi, nokuti Jehovha akanga anaye asi akanga abva kuna Sauro.
And Saul was afraid of David; because the Lord was with him, and from Saul he was departed.
13 Saka akamuendesa kure naye uye akamuita kuti ave mukuru wechiuru chavarwi, uye Dhavhidhi akatungamirira varwi muhondo dzavo.
Therefore Saul removed him from himself, and made him his captain over a thousand: and he went out and came in before the people.
14 Pazvinhu zvose zvaaiita aibudirira zvikuru kwazvo, nokuti Jehovha akanga anaye.
And David was successful on all his ways; and the Lord was with him.
15 Sauro akati achiona kuti Dhavhidhi aibudirira sei, akamutya.
And when Saul saw that he was very successful, he was in dread of him.
16 Asi vaIsraeri navaJudha vose vaida Dhavhidhi, nokuti akavatungamirira muhondo dzavo.
But all Israel and Judah loved David; because he went out and came in before them.
17 Sauro akati kuna Dhavhidhi, “Hoyu Merabhi mwanasikana wangu mukuru. Ndichamupa kwauri kuti ave mukadzi wako; chete iwe chindishandira wakashinga uye urwe hondo dzaJehovha.” Nokuti Sauro akafunga mumwoyo make achiti, “Handichasimudzi ruoko rwangu kuti ndirwe naye. VaFiristia ngavaite izvozvo!”
And Saul said to David, Behold, here is my eldest daughter Merab, her will I give to thee for wife: only be thou unto me a man of valor, and fight the Lord's battles. And Saul thought, Let not my hand be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him.
18 Asi Dhavhidhi akati kuna Sauro, “Ini ndini ani hangu, uye mhuri yangu chiiko, kana imba yababa vangu muIsraeri, kuti ndive mukuwasha wamambo?”
And David said unto Saul, Who am I? and what is my life, [or] my father's family in Israel, that I should be a son-in-law to the king?
19 Saka nguva yakati yasvika yokuti Merabhi, mwanasikana waSauro, apiwe kuna Dhavhidhi, akawaniswa kuna Adhirieri weMehorati.
But it happened at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto 'Adriel the Mecholathite for wife.
20 Zvino Mikari mwanasikana waSauro akanga achida Dhavhidhi, saka vakati vaudza Sauro izvozvo, akafara.
And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told it to Saul, and the thing was right in his eyes.
21 Akafunga akati, “Ndichamupa iye kwaari, kuitira kuti agova musungo kwaari uye kuitira kuti zvimwe ruoko rwavaFiristia rungarwe naye.” Saka Sauro akati kuna Dhavhidhi, “Zvino wava nomukana wechipiri wokuti uve mukuwasha wangu.”
And Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may become unto him a snare, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Through the second shalt thou this day become my son-in-law.
22 Ipapo Sauro akarayira varanda vake akati, “Tauriranai naDhavhidhi pakavanda muti, ‘Tarira, mambo ari kukufarira, uye varanda vake vose vanokuda; zvino, chiva mukuwasha wake.’”
And Saul commanded his servants, Speak to David secretly, saying, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee; and now thou must become the king's son-in-law.
23 Vakadzokorora mashoko iwaya kuna Dhavhidhi. Asi Dhavhidhi akati, “Munofunga kuti chinhu chiduku here kuva mukuwasha wamambo? Ndinongori munhu murombo zvake uye asingazivikanwi.”
And the servants of Saul spoke in the ears of David these words. And David said, Doth it seem so light in your eyes to become the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, and of light esteem?
24 Varanda vaSauro vakati vamuudza zvakanga zvataurwa naDhavhidhi,
And the servants of Saul told him, saying, Words such as these David hath spoken.
25 Sauro akati, “Muti kuna Dhavhidhi, ‘Mambo haasi kuda rimwezve roora romwenga rinokunda zvikanda zvapamberi zvavaFiristia zana, kuti atsive vavengi vake.’” Urongwa hwaSauro hwakanga huri hwokuurayisa Dhavhidhi navaFiristia.
And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged on the king's enemies. But Saul thought to cause David to fall by the hand of the Philistines.
26 Varanda vakati vataurira Dhavhidhi zvinhu izvi, akafara kuti ave mukuwasha wamambo. Saka nguva yakatarwa isati yapera,
And when his servants told David these words, the thing was pleasing in the eyes of David to become the king's son-in-law: and the days were not complete,
27 Dhavhidhi navanhu vake vakabuda vakauraya mazana maviri avaFiristia. Akauya nezvikanda zvavo zvapamberi akazvipa zvose zvakakwana kuna mambo kuitira kuti zvimwe angava mukuwasha wamambo. Ipapo Sauro akamupa Mikari mwanasikana wake kuti ave mukadzi wake.
When David arose and went, he and his men, and smote of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they counted them out in full to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter for wife.
28 Sauro akati aona kuti Jehovha akanga ana Dhavhidhi uye kuti Mikari mwanasikana wake akanga achida Dhavhidhi,
And Saul saw and understood that the Lord was with David: and Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him.
29 Sauro akatonyanya kumutya, uye akaramba ari muvengi wake pamazuva ake ose.
And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David's enemy all the time.
30 Vakuru vehondo yavaFiristia vakaramba vachienda kundorwa, uye nguva dzose dzavaienda, Dhavhidhi aibudirira kupfuura varanda vose vaSauro, uye zita rake rakazonyanya kuzivikanwa.
And the princes of the Philistines went forth; and it came to pass, whenever they went forth, that David was more successful than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly prized.
