1 Samweli 19
1 Sauli akamwambia mwanawe Yonathani na watumishi wake wote wamuue Daudi. Lakini Yonathani mwana wa Sauli alimpenda sana Daudi.
And he spoke Saul to Jonathan son his and to all servants his to kill David and Jonathan [the] son of Saul he delighted in David exceedingly.
2 Yonathani akamwonya Daudi, akisema, “Baba yangu Sauli anatafuta nafasi ya kukuua. Ujilinde kesho asubuhi, nenda mahali pa siri na ukae huko.
And he told Jonathan to David saying [is] seeking Saul father my to kill you and therefore take care please in the morning and you will remain in the hiding place and you will hide yourself.
3 Nitatoka na kukaa na baba yangu shambani mahali uliko. Nitazungumza naye juu yako, nami nitakueleza nitakachogundua.”
And I I will go out and I will stand to [the] side of father my in the field where you [are] there and I I will speak in you to father my and I will see whatever and I will tell to you.
4 Yonathani akanena mema juu ya Daudi kwa Sauli baba yake na kumwambia, “Mfalme asitende mabaya kwa mtumishi wake Daudi; hajakukosea, aliyoyafanya yamekuwa ya faida sana kwako.
And he spoke Jonathan in David good to Saul father his and he said to him may not he sin the king against servant his against David for not he has sinned to you and for deeds his [are] good for you exceedingly.
5 Alihatarisha maisha yake alipomuua yule Mfilisti. Bwana akajipatia ushindi mkubwa kwa ajili ya Israeli wote, nawe uliuona na ukafurahi. Kwa nini basi utende mabaya kwa mtu asiye na hatia kama Daudi kwa kumuua bila sababu?”
And he put life his in palm his and he struck down the Philistine and he made Yahweh a deliverance great for all Israel you saw and you rejoiced and why? will you sin against blood innocent by killing David without cause.
6 Sauli akamsikiliza Yonathani na kuapa hivi: “Hakika kama Bwana aishivyo, Daudi hatauawa.”
And he listened Saul to [the] voice of Jonathan and he swore an oath Saul [by] [the] life of Yahweh if he will be put to death.
7 Basi Yonathani akamwita Daudi na kumweleza mazungumzo yote. Akamleta kwa Sauli, naye Daudi akawa pamoja na Sauli kama kwanza.
And he called Jonathan to David and he told to him Jonathan all the words these and he brought Jonathan David to Saul and he was before him as yesterday three days ago.
8 Vita vilitokea tena, naye Daudi akatoka na kupigana na Wafilisti. Akawapiga kwa nguvu nyingi hata wakakimbia mbele yake.
And it repeated the war to be and he went out David and he fought against the Philistines and he defeated them a defeat great and they fled from before him.
9 Lakini roho mbaya iliyoachiwa nafasi na Bwana ikaja juu ya Sauli alipokuwa ameketi katika nyumba yake akiwa na mkuki mkononi mwake. Daudi alipokuwa anampigia kinubi,
And it was a spirit of Yahweh - evil to Saul and he in house his [was] sitting and spear his [was] in hand his and David [was] playing an instrument with hand.
10 Sauli akajaribu kumchomea Daudi ukutani kwa huo mkuki wake, lakini Daudi akauhepa huo mkuki wa Sauli ukakita ukutani. Usiku ule ule Daudi akakimbia na kuokoka.
And he sought Saul to strike with the spear David and the wall and he escaped from before Saul and he struck the spear in the wall and David he fled and he escaped in the night that.
11 Sauli akatuma watu nyumbani mwa Daudi wailinde hiyo nyumba na kumuua asubuhi. Lakini Mikali, mkewe Daudi, akamwonya akisema, “Kama hukukimbia kuokoa maisha yako usiku huu, kesho yake utauawa.”
And he sent Saul messengers to [the] house of David to watch for him and to kill him in the morning and she told to David Michal wife his saying if not you [are] delivering life your this night tomorrow you [will be] put to death.
12 Basi Mikali akamteremsha Daudi kupitia dirishani, naye akakimbia na kuokoka.
And she let down Michal David through the window and he went and he fled and he escaped.
13 Kisha Mikali akachukua kinyago, akakilaza kitandani, akakifunika kwa vazi na kukiwekea singa za mbuzi kichwani.
And she took Michal the teraphim and she put [it] into the bed and quilt of goat hair she put [the] place of head its and she covered [it] with the garment.
14 Sauli alipotuma watu kumkamata Daudi, Mikali akasema, “Yeye ni mgonjwa.”
And he sent Saul messengers to fetch David and she said [is] sick he.
15 Kisha Sauli akatuma watu tena kumwona Daudi naye akawaambia, “Mleteni kwangu juu ya kitanda chake ili nipate kumuua.”
And he sent Saul the messengers to see David saying bring up him on the bed to me to kill him.
16 Lakini wale watu walipoingia, kumbe ni kinyago tu kilichokuwa kitandani na kwenye kichwa kulikuwepo na singa za mbuzi.
And they came the messengers and there! the teraphim [was] to the bed and [the] quilt of goat hair [the] place of head its.
17 Sauli akamwambia Mikali, “Kwa nini umenidanganya mimi hivi na kumwacha adui yangu aende zake ili apate kuokoka?” Mikali akamwambia, “Yeye aliniambia, ‘Niache niende zangu. Kwa nini nikuue?’”
And he said Saul to Michal why? thus have you deceived me and you have let go enemy my and he has escaped and she said Michal to Saul he he said to me let go me why? will I kill you.
18 Daudi alipokuwa amekimbia na kuokoka, alimwendea Samweli huko Rama na kumwambia yale yote Sauli alimfanyia. Ndipo Daudi na Samweli wakaenda Nayothi kukaa huko.
And David he fled and he escaped and he went to Samuel Ramah towards and he told to him all that he had done to him Saul and he went he and Samuel and they dwelt (at Naioth. *Q(k)*)
19 Habari zikamfikia Sauli kusema: “Daudi yuko Nayothi huko Rama.”
And it was told to Saul saying there! David ([is] at Naioth *Q(k)*) in Ramah.
20 Basi Sauli akatuma watu kumkamata Daudi, lakini walipoona kundi la manabii wakitoa unabii, wakiwa pamoja na Samweli akiwa amesimama hapo kama kiongozi wao, Roho wa Mungu akaja juu ya watu wa Sauli, nao pia wakatoa unabii.
And he sent Saul messengers to fetch David and he saw [the] company of the prophets prophesying and Samuel [was] standing chief over them and it was on [the] messengers of Saul [the] spirit of God and they prophesied also they.
21 Sauli akaelezwa juu ya hilo, naye akapeleka watu wengine zaidi, nao wakatoa unabii pia. Sauli akatuma watu mara ya tatu, nao pia wakatoa unabii.
And people told to Saul and he sent messengers other and they prophesied also they and he repeated Saul and he sent messengers third and they prophesied also they.
22 Mwishowe, yeye mwenyewe akaondoka kwenda Rama na kwenda hadi kwenye kile kisima kikubwa kilichoko huko Seku. Naye akauliza, “Wako wapi Samweli na Daudi?” Wakasema, “Wako Nayothi huko Rama.”
And he went also he Ramah towards and he came to a cistern great which [is] in Secu and he asked and he said where? [are] Samuel and David and someone said there! (at Naioth *Q(k)*) in Ramah.
23 Hivyo Sauli akaenda Nayothi huko Rama. Lakini Roho wa Mungu akaja juu yake hata yeye, akawa anatembea huku anatoa unabii hadi akafika Nayothi.
And he went there to (Naioth *Q(k)*) in Ramah and it was on him also he [the] spirit of God and he went continuously and he prophesied until came he (at Naioth *Q(k)*) in Ramah.
24 Akavua majoho yake na pia akatoa unabii mbele ya Samweli. Akalala hali hiyo ule mchana kutwa na usiku kucha. Hii ndiyo sababu watu husema, “Je, Sauli pia yumo miongoni mwa manabii?”
And he stripped off also he clothes his and he prophesied also he before Samuel and he fell down naked all the day that and all the night there-fore people say ¿ also [is] Saul among the prophets.
