1 Samuel 19
1 Saulo hyɛɛ nʼasomfo ne ne babarima Yonatan sɛ wonkum Dawid. Nanso esiane sɛ na Yonatan adamfo pa ara ne Dawid nti,
Forsothe Saul spak to Jonathas, his sone, and to alle hise seruauntis, that thei schulden sle Dauid; certis Jonathas, the sone of Saul, louyde Dauid greetli.
2 Yonatan kaa adwene a nʼagya ayɛ afa ne ho no kyerɛɛ no tuu no fo se, “Ɔkyena anɔpa, pɛ wuram baabi kɔbɔ wo ho aguaa, efisɛ mʼagya rehwehwɛ wo akum wo.
And Jonathas schewide to Dauid, and seide, Saul, my fadir, sekith to sle thee, wherfor, Y biseche, kepe `thou thee eerli; and thou schalt dwelle priueli, and thou schalt be hid.
3 Mɛka akyerɛ mʼagya, na ɔne me aba hɔ na mɛka wo ho asɛm nyinaa akyerɛ no. Na biribiara a mehu wɔ hɔ no nso, mɛbɔ wo amanneɛ.”
Sotheli Y schal go out, and stonde bisidis my fadir in the feeld, where euer he schal be; and Y schal speke of thee to my fadir, and what euer thing Y shal se, Y schal telle to thee.
4 Ade kyee anɔpa no, Yonatan ne nʼagya dii nkɔmmɔ faa Dawid ho. Yonatan kaa ne ho nsɛm pa pii. Yonatan srɛɛ nʼagya se, “Mesrɛ wo, nyɛ bɔne biara ntia Dawid. Ɔnyɛɛ biribiara a ɛbɛhaw wo. Daa, ɔfa ɔkwan biara a obetumi so boa wo.
Therfor Jonathas spak good thingis of Dauid to Saul, his fadir, and seide to hym, Kyng, do thou not synne ayens thi seruaunt Dauid, for he `synnede not to thee, and hise werkis ben ful good to thee;
5 Wo werɛ afi bere a ɔde ne nkwa too ne nsam, kokum Filistini no, na ɛnam so maa Awurade de nkonimdi kɛse brɛɛ Israel no? Saa bere no, akyinnye biara nni ho sɛ, wʼani gyei. Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ wukum onipa a ne ho nni asɛm sɛ Dawid? Nkyerɛase pa biara nni mu koraa.”
and he puttide his lijf in his hond, and he killide the Filistei. And the Lord made greet heelthe to al Israel; thou siy, and were glad; whi therfor synnest thou in giltles blood, and sleest Dauid, which is with out gilt?
6 Enti Saulo tiee Yonatan, na ɔkaa ho ntam dii nsew se, “Sɛ Awurade te ase yi, wɔrenkum Dawid.”
And whanne Saul hadde herd this, he was plesid with the vois of Jonathas, and swoor, `The Lord lyueth, `that is, bi the Lord lyuynge, for Dauid schal not be slayn.
7 Akyiri no, Yonatan frɛɛ Dawid kaa asɛm a asi no kyerɛɛ no. Enti ɔfaa Dawid de no kohuu Saulo, na biribiara totɔɔ yiye, sɛnea kan no na ɛte no ara pɛ.
Therfor Jonathas clepide Dauid, and schewide to hym alle these wordis. And Jonathas brouyte in Dauid to Saul, and he was bifor hym as `yistirdai and the thridde dai ago.
8 Ankyɛ biara na ɔko bi sii, maa Dawid dii nʼakofo anim kɔko tiaa Filistifo. Ɔde anibere toaa wɔn, maa wɔn nyinaa guanee.
Forsothe batel was moued eft; and Dauyd yede out, and fauyt ayens Filisteis, and he smoot hem with a greet wounde, and thei fledden fro his face.
9 Nanso da bi, Saulo te fi ara no, honhommɔne a efi Awurade bɛhyɛɛ ne mu prɛko pɛ bio. Bere a Dawid rebɔ ne sanku ama ɔhene no,
And the yuel spirit of the Lord was maad on Saul; sotheli he sat in his hows, and helde a spere; certis Dauid harpide in his hond.
10 Saulo tow ne peaw kyerɛɛ Dawid so, pɛɛ sɛ okum no. Nanso Dawid twee ne ho, totɔɔ esum mu guan maa peaw no kaa ɔfasu no mu.
And Saul enforside to prene with the spere Dauid in the wal; and Dauid bowide fro `the face of Saul; forsothe the spere `with voide wounde was borun in to the wal; and Dauid fledde, and was saued in that niyt.
11 Saulo somaa mmarima kɔɔ Dawid fi kɔwɛn hɔ sɛ, opue anɔpa a wonkum no. Nanso Dawid yere Mikal bɔɔ no kɔkɔ se, “Sɛ woanguan ampɛ wo nkwa anadwo yi a, ɔkyena, wobekum wo.”
Therfor Saul sente hise knyytis in the nyyt in to the hows of Dauid, that thei schulden kepe hym, and that he `schulde be slayn in the morewtide. And whanne Mychol, the wijf of Dauid, hadde teld this to Dauid, and seide, If thou sauest not thee in this nyyt, thou schalt die to morew;
12 Enti Mikal de Dawid faa mfɛnsere mu ma oguanee.
sche puttide hym doun bi a wyndow. Forsothe he yede, and fledde, and was sauyd.
13 Na Mikal faa ohoni bi de no too mpa so de atade kataa ho, na ne ti hɔ no nso, ɔde abirekyi ho nwi katae.
Sotheli Mychol took an ymage, and puttide it on the bed, and puttide `an heeri skyn of geet at the heed therof, and hilide it with clothis.
14 Bere a Saulo somaa mmarima sɛ wɔnkɔkyere Dawid no, Mikal ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Ɔyare a ontumi nsɔre mfi mpa so.”
Forsothe Saul sente sergeauntis, `that schulden rauysche Dauid, and it was answeride, that he was sijk.
15 Saulo san somaa mmarima no bio se, “Monkɔfa no mfi ne mpa so mmra, sɛnea metumi akum no.”
And eft Saul sente messangeris, that thei schulden se Dauid, and he seide, Brynge ye hym to me in the bed, that he be slayn.
16 Nanso mmarima no wuraa ɔdan no mu no, na ohoni na ɔda mpa no so a abirekyi ho nwi na ɛkata so.
And whanne the messangeris hadden come, `a symylacre was foundun on the bed, and `skynnes of geet at the heed therof.
17 Saulo bisaa Mikal se, “Adɛn nti na woadaadaa me, ama me tamfo aguan?” Mikal buaa no se, “Na ɛsɛ sɛ meyɛ saa efisɛ ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, ‘Mammoa no a, obekum me.’”
And Saul seide to Mychol, Whi scornedist thou me so, and `delyueredist myn enemy, that he fledde? And Mychol answeride to Saul, For he spak to me, and seide, Delyuere thou me, ellis Y schal slee thee.
18 Bere a Dawid guanee no, ɔkɔɔ Samuel nkyɛn wɔ Rama kɔkaa nea Saulo ayɛ no no nyinaa kyerɛɛ no. Enti Samuel de Dawid kɔtenaa Naiot.
Forsothe Dauid fledde, and was sauyd; and he cam to Samuel in to Ramatha, and telde to hym alle thingis which Saul hadde do to hym; and he and Samuel yeden, and dwelliden in Naioth.
19 Bere a Saulo tee sɛ Dawid te Naiot a ɛwɔ Rama no,
Forsothe it was teld to Saul of men, seiynge, Lo! Dauid is in Naioth in Ramatha.
20 ɔsomaa asraafo sɛ wɔnkɔkyere no mmra. Nanso woduu a wohuu Samuel ne adiyifo bi sɛ wɔrehyɛ nkɔm no, Onyankopɔn honhom baa Saulo mmarima no so, maa wɔn nso hyɛɛ nkɔm.
Therfor Saul sente sleeris, that thei schulden rauysche Dauid; and whanne thei hadden seyn the cumpeny of profetis profeciynge, and Samuel stondynge ouer hem, the Spirit of the Lord, `that is, the spirit of deuocioun, was maad in hem, and thei also bigunnen to prophecie.
21 Saulo tee asɛm a aba no, ɔsan somaa asraafo foforo, nanso wɔn nso kɔhyɛɛ nkɔm! Asɛm koro no ara sii ne mprɛnsa so.
And whanne this was teld to Saul, he sente also othere messangeris; `sotheli and thei profesieden. And eft Saul sente the thridde messangeris, and thei prophecieden. And Saul was wrooth `with irefulnesse;
22 Akyiri yi koraa, Saulo no ankasa kɔɔ Rama, koduu abura kɛse bi a ɛwɔ Seku ho. Obisae se, “Samuel ne Dawid wɔ he?” Obi ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wɔn baanu wɔ Naiot a ɛwɔ Rama hɔ.”
and he also yede in to Ramatha, and he cam `til to the greet cisterne, which is in Socoth, and he axide, and seide, In what place ben Samuel and Dauid? And it was seid to hym, Lo! thei ben in Naioth in Ramatha.
23 Na ɔrekɔ Naiot no, ɔkwan no so na Onyankopɔn honhom baa Saulo so, na ɔno nso fii ase hyɛɛ nkɔm.
And he yede in `to Naioth in Ramatha; and the Spirit of the Lord was maad also on him; and he `yede, and entride, and propheciede, `til the while he cam `in to Naioth in Ramatha.
24 Osunsuan nʼatade mu, de ne ho too fam, daa hɔ da mu ne anadwo mu nyinaa, hyɛɛ nkɔm wɔ Samuel anim. Nnipa a wɔrehwɛ no no teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Asɛm ni? Enti daa yi Saulo nso yɛ odiyifo?”
And `he also dispuylide him silf of hise clothis, and propheciede with othere men bifor Samuel, and he profeciede nakid in al that dai and nyyt. Wherfor `a prouerbe, that is, a comyn word, yede out, Whether and Saul among prophetis?
