1 Samuela 19
1And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul’s son, delighted much in David.
1PEA naʻe lea ʻa Saula kia Sonatane ko hono foha, pea ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē, koeʻuhi kenau tāmateʻi ʻa Tevita.
2And Jonathan told David, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Therefore be on your guard in the morning. Stay in a secret place and hide yourself.
2Ka naʻe loto lelei lahi ʻa Sonatane ko e foha ʻo Saula kia Tevita: pea naʻe fakahā ʻe Sonatane kia Tevita, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku fai ʻe Saula ko ʻeku tamai ke ne tāmateʻi koe: pea ko eni, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke vakai kiate koe ke ʻoua ke pongipongi, pea nofo ʻi ha potu lilo, ʻo toitoiʻi koe:
3And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will speak to my father about you. And if I learn anything I will tell you.”
3Pea te u ʻalu ʻo tuʻu ofi ki heʻeku tamai ʻi he ngoue ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻi ai, pea te ma alea mo ʻeku tamai kiate koe; pea ko ia te u mamata ki ai, teu tala kiate koe.
4And Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Let not the king sin against his servant David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his deeds have brought good to you.
4Pea naʻe lea lelei ʻa Sonatane ki heʻene tamai ko Saula kia Tevita, ʻo ne pehē, “Ke ʻoua naʻa fai ha kovi ʻe he tuʻi ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita; koeʻuhi kuo ʻikai te ne fai angahala kiate koe pea koeʻuhi ko ʻene ngaahi ngāue kuo lelei ʻaupito kiate koe:
5For he took his life in his hand and he struck down the Philistine, and the LORD worked a great salvation for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood by killing David without cause?”
5He naʻa ne ʻai ʻene moʻui ki hono nima, pea ne tāmateʻi ʻae tangata Filisitia, pea naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ʻae fakamoʻui lahi maʻa ʻIsileli: naʻa ke vakaiʻi ia: pea ne ke fiefia ai: pea ko e hā ai te ke fai angahala ai ki he toto angatonu, ke tāmateʻi ʻa Tevita taʻehanotuʻunga?”
6And Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan. Saul swore, “As the LORD lives, he shall not be put to death.”
6Pea naʻe tokanga ʻa Saula ki he leʻo ʻo Sonatane: pea fuakava ʻa Saula, ʻI he moʻui ʻa Sihova ʻe ʻikai tāmateʻi ia.
7And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan reported to him all these things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.
7Pea naʻe ui ʻe Sonatane ʻa Tevita, pea fakahā ʻe Sonatane kiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni. Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Sonatane ʻa Tevita kia Saula, pea naʻe ʻi hono ʻao ia ʻo hangē ko ʻene ʻi ai ʻi muʻa.
8And there was war again. And David went out and fought with the Philistines and struck them with a great blow, so that they fled before him.
8Pea naʻe toe hoko ʻae tau: pea ʻalu ai ʻa Tevita ʻo tauʻi ʻae kakai Filisitia, pea ne taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he tāmateʻi lahi; pea naʻa nau hola meiate ia.
9Then a harmful spirit from the LORD came upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand. And David was playing the lyre.
9Pea naʻe ʻia Saula ʻae laumālie kovi meia Sihova, ʻi heʻene nofo ʻi hono fale mo e tao ʻi hono nima: pea naʻe tā ʻene meʻa ʻe Tevita ʻaki hono nima.
10And Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he eluded Saul, so that he struck the spear into the wall. And David fled and escaped that night.
10Pea naʻe feinga ʻa Saula ke ne veloʻi ʻa Tevita ki he holisi ʻaki ʻae tao; ka naʻe kalo mālie ʻa Tevita, pea velo ʻo tau ʻae tao ki he holisi: pea naʻe hola ʻa Tevita ʻo hao mei hono ʻao ʻi he pō ko ia.
11Saul sent messengers to David’s house to watch him, that he might kill him in the morning. But Michal, David’s wife, told him, “If you do not escape with your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”
11Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Saula ʻae kau tangata fekau ki he fale ʻo Tevita, ke lamasi ia, pea kenau tāmateʻi ia ʻi he pongipongi: pea naʻe tala ʻe Mikale ko e ʻunoho ʻo Tevita kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke fakahaofi hoʻo moʻui he poōni, ʻe tāmateʻi koe ʻapongipongi.”
12So Michal let David down through the window, and he fled away and escaped.
12Ko ia naʻe tukutuku hifo ai ʻe Mikale ʻa Tevita mei he matapā sioʻata: pea naʻe ʻalu ia, pea hola ʻo hao.
13Michal took an image and laid it on the bed and put a pillow of goats’ hair at its head and covered it with the clothes.
13Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Mikale ʻae meʻa fakatātā ʻo tuku ia ki he mohenga, pea ne ʻai ʻae ʻolunga ko e fulufuluʻi kosi ke ʻolunga ʻaki, ʻo ne ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae kafu.
14And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.”
14Pea ʻi he fekau ʻa Saula ʻae kau talafekau ke puke ʻa Tevita, naʻe pehē ʻe ia, ʻOku mahaki ia.
15Then Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.”
15Pea naʻe toe fekau ʻe Saula ʻae kau talafekau kenau mamata kia Tevita, ʻo pehē, “Mou ʻomi ia kiate au ʻi hono mohenga, koeʻuhi ke u tāmateʻi ia.”
16And when the messengers came in, behold, the image was in the bed, with the pillow of goats’ hair at its head.
16Pea ʻi he hū ki loto ʻae kau tangata talafekau, vakai, naʻe ʻi he mohenga ʻae meʻa fakatātā mo e ʻolunga kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae fulufuluʻi kosi.
17Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me thus and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?” And Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go. Why should I kill you?’”
17Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula kia Mikale, “Ko e hā kuo ke kākā pehē ai au, mo ke fekau ki hoku fili ke ʻalu, pea kuo ne hao?” Pea pehē ʻe Mikale kia Saula, naʻe pehē mai ʻe ia, Tuku ke u ʻalu; he ko e hā te u tāmateʻi ai koe?”
18Now David fled and escaped, and he came to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and lived at Naioth.
18Ko ia naʻe hola pea hao ʻa Tevita, ʻo ne ʻalu kia Samuela ki Lama, ʻo ne tala kiate ia ʻaia kotoa pē kuo fai ʻe Saula kiate ia. Pea naʻa na ō mo Samuela ʻo nofo ʻi Naoti.
19And it was told Saul, “Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.”
19Pea naʻe tala kia Saula, ʻo pehē, Vakai, ʻoku ʻi Naoti ʻa Tevita ʻi Lama.
20Then Saul sent messengers to take David, and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
20Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Saula ʻae kau tangata ke puke ʻa Tevita: pea ʻi heʻenau mamata ki he kau palōfita ʻoku malanga, kae tuʻu ʻa Samuela ʻaia ko honau tauhi, naʻe hoko ʻae laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua ki he kau tangata fekau ʻa Saula, pea malanga foki mo kinautolu.
21When it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
21Pea ʻi he fakahā ia kia Saula, naʻa ne fekau atu ʻae kau tangata kehe, pea naʻe malanga ʻakinautolu foki. Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Saula ʻae kau tangata fekau ho hono liunga tolu, pea naʻa nau malanga foki.
22Then he himself went to Ramah and came to the great well that is in Secu. And he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” And one said, “Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.”
22Pea naʻe toki ʻalu ia foki ki Lama pea hoko atu ki he fuʻu luo vai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Sikiu: pea naʻe fehuʻi ʻe ia ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻi fē ʻa Samuela mo Tevita?” Pea pehē ʻe he tokotaha, Vakai, ʻoku na ʻi Naoti ʻi Lama.
23And he went there to Naioth in Ramah. And the Spirit of God came upon him also, and as he went he prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
23Pea ne ʻalu ki ai ki Naoti ʻi Lama: pea hoko kiate ia foki ʻae Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua, pea naʻe ʻalu pe ia, ʻo malanga, ʻo feʻunga mo ʻene hoko ki Naoti ʻi Lama.
24And he too stripped off his clothes, and he too prophesied before Samuel and lay naked all that day and all that night. Thus it is said, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
24Pea naʻa ne toʻo foki hono ngaahi kofu, ʻo malanga pehē pē ʻi he ʻao ʻo Samuela, pea naʻe tokoto hifo taʻekofu ia ʻi he ʻaho kotoa ko ia mo e pō kotoa ko ia. Ko e tupunga ia ʻoe pehē, “He kuo kau ʻa Saula foki mo e kau palōfita?”
