1 Samuel 18
1 When he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
A ka mutu tana korero ki a Haora, na piri tonu te wairua o Honatana ki te wairua o Rawiri, a aroha ana a Honatana ki a ia me te mea ko tona wairua ake.
2 Saul took him that day, and wouldn’t let him go home to his father’s house any more.
Na ka mau a Haora ki a ia i taua ra, kihai hoki ia i tukua kia hoki ki te whare o tona papa.
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
I whakarite kawenata ano a Honatana raua ko Rawiri; i arohaina hoki ia e ia, me te mea ko tona wairua ake.
4 Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David with his clothing, even including his sword, his bow, and his sash.
I huia ano e Honatana tona koroka i runga i a ia, a hoatu ana ki a Rawiri, me ona kakahu, tae noa ki tana hoari, me tana kopere, me tona whitiki.
5 David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely; and Saul set him over the men of war. It was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.
Na ka haere a Rawiri ki nga wahi katoa i tonoa ai ia e Haora, ka mahi tupato; a ka meinga ia e Haora hei rangatira mo nga tangata whawhai, a pai tonu ia ki te titiro a te iwi katoa, ki te titiro ano hoki a nga tangata a Haora.
6 As they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music.
Na i to ratou haerenga mai, i te hokinga mai o Rawiri i te patu i te Pirihitini, ka puta nga wahine i nga pa katoa o Iharaira, me te waiata, me te kanikani, me nga timipera, me te koa, me nga mea whakatangi, ki te whakatau i a Kingi Haora.
7 The women sang to one another as they played, and said, “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.”
Na ka waiata whakatene nga wahine i a ratou e takaro ana, ka mea, Na Haora ana mano, na Rawiri ana tekau mano i patu.
8 Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him. He said, “They have credited David with ten thousands, and they have only credited me with thousands. What can he have more but the kingdom?”
Na nui rawa te riri o Haora; he mea kino hoki taua kupu ki tona whakaaro. Na ka mea ia, Tekau a ratou mano i hoatu ai ki a Rawiri, he mano kau nei a ratou i homai nei ki ahau: ko te aha ake mana ki te kahore te kingitanga?
9 Saul watched David from that day and forward.
Na whakatau ana te kanohi o Haora ki a Rawiri no taua ra tonu iho.
10 On the next day, an evil spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the middle of the house. David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;
Na i te aonga ake ka puta kaha mai he wairua kino i te Atua ki a Haora, a ka poropiti ia i waenganui o te whare; a ka whakatangi te ringa o Rawiri i te hapa, ko tana hanga i tena ra, i tena ra: he tao ano i te ringa o Haora:
11 and Saul threw the spear, for he said, “I will pin David to the wall!” David escaped from his presence twice.
Ko te tino werohanga a Haora i te tao; i mea hoki ia, Me patu a Rawiri e ahau, kia titi rawa ki te pakitara. Na karohia ana e Rawiri: e rua nga mawhititanga i tona aroaro.
12 Saul was afraid of David, because Yahweh was with him, and had departed from Saul.
Na ka wehi a Haora i a Rawiri, no te mea i a ia a Ihowa, a kua mawehe i a Haora.
13 Therefore Saul removed him from his presence, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
Koia i wehea atu ai ia e Haora i a ia, a meinga ana ia e ia ko tana rangatira mano: na ka haere atu ia, ka haere mai i te aroaro o te iwi.
14 David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and Yahweh was with him.
Na tupato tonu te whakahaere a Rawiri i ona ara katoa: i a ia ano a Ihowa.
15 When Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
A, i te kitenga o Haora he tangata tupato rawa ia, ka wehi ia i a ia.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
A i aroha a Iharaira katoa ratou ko Hura ki a Rawiri, no te mea i haere atu ia, i haere mai i to ratou aroaro.
17 Saul said to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab. I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight Yahweh’s battles.” For Saul said, “Don’t let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”
Na ka mea a Haora ki a Rawiri, Nana, taku tamahine matamua, a Merapa, me hoatu e ahau hei wahine mau, otiia ko koe hei toa maku, hei whawhai i nga whawhai a Ihowa. I mea hoki a Haora, Kaua toku ringa e pa ki a ia; engari kia pa te ringa o nga Pi rihitini ki a ia.
18 David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?”
Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Haora, Ko wai ahau, he oranga aha hoki toku, he hapu aha to toku papa i roto i a Iharaira, e meinga ai ahau hei hunaonga me te kingi?
19 But at the time when Merab, Saul’s daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.
I te wa ia e homai ai a Merapa, te tamahine a Haora ma Rawiri, na ka hoatu ia hei wahine ma Atariere o Mehora.
20 Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
Na i aroha a Mikara, te tamahine a Haora ki a Rawiri, a ka korerotia ki a Haora, a he mea ahuareka tena ki tona whakaaro.
21 Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Therefore Saul said to David a second time, “You shall today be my son-in-law.”
Na ka mea a Haora, Me hoatu ia e ahau ki a ia a hei rore ia mona e pa ai te ringa o nga Pirihitini ki a ia. Koia a Haora i mea ai ki a Rawiri, Ko aianei te rua o ou meatanga hei hunaonga maku.
22 Saul commanded his servants, “Talk with David secretly, and say, ‘Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore be the king’s son-in-law.’”
Na ka whakahau a Haora ki ana tangata, Korero puku ki a Rawiri, mea atu, Nana, e whakaahuareka ana te kingi ki a koe, e aroha ana hoki ana tangata katoa ki a koe: na reira ko koe hei hunaonga ma te kingi.
23 Saul’s servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said, “Does it seem to you a light thing to be the king’s son-in-law, since I am a poor man and little known?”
Na korerotia ana aua kupu e nga tangata a Haora ki nga taringa o Rawiri. A ka mea a Rawiri, He mea noa iho koia ki a koutou kia meinga ahau hei hunaonga ma te kingi, he rawakore nei hoki ahau, he ware?
24 The servants of Saul told him, saying, “David spoke like this.”
Na ka korero nga tangata a Haora ki a ia, ka mea, ko nga kupu enei i puaki mai i a Rawiri.
25 Saul said, “Tell David, ‘The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies.’” Now Saul thought he would make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
Na ka mea a Haora, Kia penei ta koutou ki ki a Rawiri, Kahore o te kingi hiahia ki te kaipakuha; engari ki nga kiri matamata kotahi rau o nga Pirihitini: kia whai utu ai i nga hoariri o te kingi. I whakaaro hoki a Haora kia hinga a Rawiri i te r inga o nga Pirihitini.
26 When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son-in-law. Before the deadline,
A, no ka korerotia e ana tangata enei kupu ki a Rawiri, ahuareka tonu ki a Rawiri kia meinga ia hei hunaonga ma te kingi. A kahore ano nga ra kia rite.
27 David arose and went, he and his men, and killed two hundred men of the Philistines. Then David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Michal his daughter as wife.
Na ka whakatika a Rawiri, a haere ana ratou ko ana tangata, na patua iho e ia o nga Pirihitini e rua rau nga tangata; a kawea ana e Rawiri o ratou kiri matamata; na hoatu ana e ratou ki te kingi te mea e rite ana, kia meinga ai ia hei hunaonga m a te kingi. Na ka homai e Haora a Mikara, tana tamahine hei wahine mana.
28 Saul saw and knew that Yahweh was with David; and Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved him.
A i kite a Haora, i mohio, kei a Rawiri a Ihowa; a i arohaina ia e Mikara tamahine a Haora.
29 Saul was even more afraid of David; and Saul was David’s enemy continually.
Na ka nui rawa atu te wehi o Haora i a Rawiri; a he ito a Rawiri ki a Haora i nga ra katoa.
30 Then the princes of the Philistines went out; and as often as they went out, David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, so that his name was highly esteemed.
Katahi ka whakaputa nga rangatira o nga Pirihitini, a i nga wa katoa i whakaputa ai ratou, nui atu te tika o te ngarahu a Rawiri i ta nga tangata katoa a Haora; koia i tino matea nuitia ai tona ingoa.
