1Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul’s son, delighted much in David.
1 Sawulu salaŋ da nga ize aro Yonata da nga tamey kulu ka ne i ma Dawda wi.
1And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should slay David. But Jonathan, Saul's son, delighted much in David.
2Jonathan told David, saying, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Now therefore, please take care of yourself in the morning, and live in a secret place, and hide yourself.
2 Amma Sawulu ize Yonata ga maa Dawda kaani gumo. Yonata binde ci Dawda se ka ne: «Ay baaba Sawulu goono ga ceeci nga ma ni wi. Sohõ binde ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma laakal da ni boŋ suba susubay. Ma goro tuguyaŋ do ka tugu.
2And Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to slay thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself in the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:
3I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will talk with my father about you; and if I see anything, I will tell you.”
3 Ay mo ga koy ka kay ay baaba jarga batama ra, naŋ kaŋ ni go, ay ma salaŋ d'ay baaba ni boŋ. D'ay di alhaali fo no ay ga ci ni se.»
3and I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will commune with my father of thee; and if I see aught, I will tell thee.
4Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Don’t let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you;
4 Kala Yonata na gomni sanni te nga baabo Sawulu se Dawda boŋ ka ne a se: «Bonkoono ma si zunubi te nga tamo Dawda se, zama nga din mana zunubi te ni se. A goyey mo goy hanno yaŋ no ni se.
4And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been to thee-ward very good:
5for he put his life in his hand, and struck the Philistine, and Yahweh worked a great victory for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?”
5 Zama a na nga fundo no ka Filistanca din wi. Rabbi mo na zaama bambata te Israyla kulu se. Ni di, ni farhã mo. Ifo se binde kaŋ ni ga boro kaŋ sinda taali kuri alhakku sambu, ni ma Dawda wi sabaabu kulu si?»
5for he put his life in his hand, and smote the Philistine, and Jehovah wrought a great victory for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice; wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?
6Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan: and Saul swore, “As Yahweh lives, he shall not be put to death.”
6 Sawulu binde hangan Yonata sanno se. Sawulu ze da Rabbi fundikoono ka ne i s'a wi.
6And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As Jehovah liveth, he shall not be put to death.
7Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as before.
7 Yonata binde na Dawda ce ka hayey wo kulu cabe a se. Yonata kande Dawda Sawulu do, nga mo goro a do sanda waato.
7And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as beforetime.
8There was war again. David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and killed them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.
8 Wongu ye ka tun koyne. Dawda mo fatta ka wongu nda Filistancey. A n'i wi nda wiyaŋ bambata, i zuru a jine mo.
8And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.
9An evil spirit from Yahweh was on Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand.
9 Biya laalo mo kaŋ fun Rabbi do go Sawulu gaa kaŋ a goono ga goro nga windo ra nda nga yaajo nga kambe ra. Dawda mo goono ga moolo kar da nga kamba.
9And an evil spirit from Jehovah was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand.
10Saul sought to pin David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence, and he stuck the spear into the wall. David fled, and escaped that night.
10 Sawulu ceeci nga ma Dawda hay hala nga m'a korab ka ta cinaro gaa. Amma a mulay ka fun Sawulu jine, yaajo koy ka du cinaro. Cino din ra mo Dawda zuru ka yana.
10And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the spear into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.
11Saul sent messengers to David’s house, to watch him, and to kill him in the morning. Michal, David’s wife, told him, saying, “If you don’t save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”
11 Sawulu binde na diyayaŋ donton i ma koy Dawda kwaara k'a kosaray, i m'a wi susubay ra. Dawda wande Mikal mo ci Dawda se ka ne: «Da ni mana yana nda ni fundo hunkuna cino wo ra, suba i ga ni wi.»
11And Saul sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal, David's wife, told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to-night, to-morrow thou wilt be slain.
12So Michal let David down through the window. He went, fled, and escaped.
12 Mikal binde na Dawda zure fu fune gaa k'a zumandi, nga mo zuru ka yana.
12So Michal let David down through the window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
13Michal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ hair at its head, and covered it with the clothes.
13 Mikal na tooru fo sambu ka jisi daari boŋ. A na hincin hamni boŋ-dake daŋ boŋo do haray, k'a daabu nda bankaaray.
13And Michal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' [hair] at the head thereof, and covered it with the clothes.
14When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.”
14 Waato kaŋ Sawulu na diyey donton zama i ma Dawda di, kala wando ne: «A goono ga jante no.»
14And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.
15Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.”
15 Sawulu binde na diyayaŋ donton i ma Dawda guna. A ne: «Wa kand'a nga daarijo boŋ neewo ay do zama ay m'a wi.»
15And Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.
16When the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats’ hair at its head.
16 Kaŋ diyey furo, wiiza tooro no dima boŋ, da hincin hamni boŋ-dake boŋo do haray!
16And when the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats' [hair] at the head thereof.
17Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me thus, and let my enemy go, so that he is escaped?” Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go! Why should I kill you?’”
17 Sawulu ne Mikal se: «Ifo se no ni n'ay fafagu ya-cine? Ni naŋ ay ibaro wo ma koy hal a ma yana.» Mikal tu Sawulu se ka ne: «A ne ay se: ‹Naŋ ay ma koy. Ifo se no ay ga ni wi?› »
17And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me thus, and let mine enemy go, so that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill thee?
18Now David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. He and Samuel went and lived in Naioth.
18 Amma Dawda zuru ka yana. A kaa Samuwila do Rama ka ci a se hay kulu kaŋ Sawulu te nga se. Nga nda Samuwila mo koy ka goro Nayot ra.
18Now David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.
19It was told Saul, saying, “Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.”
19 I ci Sawulu se ka ne: «Dawda neeya Nayot, Rama wano ra.»
19And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.
20Saul 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 on the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
20 Sawulu binde na diyayaŋ donton i ma Dawda di. Ngey mo, waato kaŋ i di annabey marga goono ga annabitaray te, Samuwila mo go g'i dabari, kala Irikoy Biya zumbu Sawulu diyey boŋ. Ngey mo na annabitaray te.
20And 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.
21When it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
21 Waato kaŋ i ci Sawulu se, kal a na diya fooyaŋ mo donton. Ngey mo na annabitaray te. Sawulu na diyayaŋ donton hala sorro hinzanta. Ngey mo na annabitaray te.
21And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
22Then went he also to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu: and he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” One said, “Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.”
22 Gaa no nga bumbo koy Rama. A kaa day beero me gaa kaŋ go Seku. A hã mo ka ne: «Man Samuwila nda Dawda go?» Boro fo ne: «Ngey nooya Nayot, Rama wano ra.»
22Then went he also to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.
23He went there to Naioth in Ramah. Then the Spirit of God came on him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
23 Kal a bisa ka koy noodin Nayot, Rama wano do. Nga mo, Irikoy Biya zumbu a boŋ. A bisa jina, a goono ga annabitaray te, kal a kaa ka to Nayot, Rama wano.
23And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24He also stripped off his clothes, and he also prophesied before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
24 A na nga bankaara kaa mo ka annabitaray te Samuwila jine ka kani gaa-koonu zaaro me-a-me, da cino kulu mo. Woodin se no i ne: «Sawulu mo go annabey ra no?»
24And he also stripped off his clothes, and he also prophesied before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?
