Sie Samuel 18
1 Ke tari sramsram lal Saul ac David, na Jonathan, wen natul Saul, el mutawauk in arulana lungse David. Lungse lal Jonathan nu sel David arulana yohk, oana ke el lungse el sifacna.
And it happened that, when he had completed speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan adhered to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him like his own soul.
2 Mutawauk ke len sac fahla, Saul el sap David elan mutana yorol ac tia fuhlella elan som nu yen sel ah.
And Saul took him that day, and would not permit him to return to his father’s house.
3 Jonathan el orala fulahk lal tuh el David ac fah kawuk nwe tok, mweyen el lungse David na pwaye.
Then David and Jonathan formed a pact. For he loved him like his own soul.
4 Jonathan el sarukla nuknuk lal ac sang nu sel David, wi nuknuk in mweun lal, ac cutlass natul, ac pisr natul, ac pel lal.
And Jonathan took off the coat that he was wearing, and he gave it to David, with the rest of his garments, even to his sword and bow, and even his belt.
5 Ma nukewa Saul el supwal David nu kac el orala ke insianaung ac wo ouiya. Ke ma inge Saul el oru tuh David elan sie mwet kol lun un mwet mweun lal, ac mwet pwapa ac mwet kulansap nukewa lal Saul elos insewowo kacl.
Also, David went out to do everything whatsoever that Saul sent him to do, and he conducted himself prudently. And Saul set him over men of war. And he was acceptable in the eyes of the entire people, and most of all in the sight of the servants of Saul.
6 Ke David el foloko tukun el unilya Goliath, ac ke mwet mweun elos wi pac foloko nu yen selos, mutan in siti nukewa in acn Israel elos tuku in paingul Tokosra Saul. Elos engan ac on, ac elos tacn ac srital ke mwe srital tambourine ac lyre.
Now when David returned, after he had struck down the Philistine, the women went out, from all the cities of Israel, leading the singing and dancing, rejoicing with timbrels and bells, so as to meet king Saul.
7 Kutu kas ke on in kaksak lalos an fahk ouinge, “Saul el uniya tausin, a David el uniya ngoul tausin.”
And the women sang, as they played, saying, “Saul has struck down a thousand, and David ten thousand.”
8 Saul el tia lungse kas inge, ac el mutawauk in kasrkusrak. El fahk, “Mwet uh fahk mu David el uniya ngoul tausin a nga tausin na. Ac tia paht na elos ac oru David elan tokosra!”
Then Saul became exceedingly angry, and this word was displeasing in his eyes. And he said: “They have given David ten thousand, and to me they gave only one thousand. What is left for him, except the kingdom itself?”
9 In len sac me, Saul el sok ac sensen na sel David.
Therefore, Saul did not regard David with a good eye, from that day and thereafter.
10 In len tok ah, sie ngun koluk sin God me sifil sikyang nu sel Saul, ac el kasrkusrak ac kunaus lohm sel oana mwet wel se. David el muta srital ke harp, oana ke el muta oru len nukewa. Ac Saul el sruok osra soko inpaol.
Then, on the next day, the evil spirit from God assailed Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David played with his hand, just as at every other time. And Saul held a lance in his hand.
11 Saul el sifacna nunku insial, “Nga ac faksilya David nu ke pesinka in lohm uh.” Na el faksel David ke osra soko ah pacl luo, a David el iwalla kewa.
And he threw it, thinking that he would be able to fix David to the wall. And David stepped aside twice, from before his face.
12 Saul el sangeng sel David mweyen LEUM GOD El welul David a El som lukel Saul.
And Saul feared David, because the Lord was with him, but he had withdrawn from Saul.
13 Na Saul el supwalla David ac sapkin tuh elan mwet kol fin sie tausin mwet mweun. David el kol mwet lal inge nu ke mweun,
Therefore, Saul sent him away from himself, and he made him tribune over one thousand men. And he entered and departed in the sight of the people.
14 ac wo ouiyen ma nukewa el oru, mweyen LEUM GOD El welul.
Also, David acted prudently in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
15 Ke Saul el liye lah David el orala ma nukewa wo, el sifil sangeng sel yohk liki meet.
And so, Saul saw that he was exceedingly prudent, and he began to be wary of him.
16 Tusruktu mwet nukewa in Israel ac Judah elos lungse David ke sripen el mwet kol na wowo se.
But all of Israel and Judah loved David. For he entered and departed before them.
17 Na Saul el fahk nu sel David, “Acn se nutik ma matu pa inge. El pa Merab. Nga ac eisalot tuh elan mutan kiom. Tuh ma se na, wulela nu sik lah kom ac fah kulansupweyu ke pwaye ac pulaik, oayapa kom fah mweun ke mweun lun LEUM GOD.” (Saul el oru nunak se inge tuh mwet Philistia in mau unilya David, ac in tia el pa sifacna unilya.)
And Saul said to David: “Behold, my elder daughter, Merab. I will give her to you as wife. Only be a valiant man, and fight the wars of the Lord.” Now Saul was considering within himself, saying, “Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hands of the Philistines be upon him.”
18 Ac David el fahk, “Ku su nga uh, ac su sou luk uh, ku nga in wen talupan tokosra?”
Then David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my life, and what is my father’s kinship within Israel, that I should be the son-in-law of the king?”
19 Tusruktu, ke pacl fal tuh Merab elan itukyang nu sel David, Saul el eisalang nu sin sie pacna mukul pangpang Adriel, sie mwet Meholah.
Then it happened that, at the time when Merab, the daughter of Saul, was to be given to David, she was given to Adriel, the Meholathite, as wife.
20 Sie pac acn natul Saul uh pa Michal, ac el lungse David. Ke Saul el lohng, el engan kac.
Now Michal, the other daughter of Saul, loved David. And this was reported to Saul, and it pleased him.
21 El sifacna fahk insial, “Nga ac eisalang Michal kial David. Nga fah oru tuh elan sie mwe kwasrip nu sel David, ac David el ac fah anwuki sin mwet Philistia.” Pa inge pacl se akluo Saul el fahk nu sel David, “Kom ac fah wen talupuk.”
And Saul said, “I will give her to him, so that she may be a stumbling block to him, and so that the hand of the Philistines may be upon him.” And Saul said to David, “In two things, you shall be my son-in-law today.”
22 Ac Saul el sap mwet pwapa lal in som sramsram lukma nu sel David ac fahk nu sel, “Tokosra el insewowo sum, ac mwet pwapa nukewa elos lungse kom. Inge pacl na wo nu sum tuh kom in payukyak sin acn se natul tokosra.”
And Saul commanded his servants to speak to David privately, saying: “Behold, you are pleasing to the king, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, be the son-in-law of the king.”
23 Na mwet inge elos fahkang kas se inge nu sel David. Ac David el topuk, “Tia ma pilasr se tuh sie mwet in payuk sin acn nutin tokosra. Sie mwet lusrongten ac sukasrup oana nga, ac tuh arulana kupansuwol.”
And the servants of Saul spoke all these words to the ears of David. And David said: “Does it seem a small matter to you, to be the son-in-law of the king? I am but a poor and unimportant man.”
24 Na mwet pwapa elos tafweang kas lal David inge nu sel Saul,
And the servants reported to Saul, saying, “David has spoken words in this manner.”
25 ac Saul el sapkin tuh elos in fahkang nu sel David, “Pwayena ma tokosra el enenu sum in sang moli acn se natul ah, pa kulun ma lun mukul siofok ma misa lun mwet Philistia, tuh in mwe foloksak lal nu sin mwet lokoalok lal.” (Saul el oru pwapa lukma se inge tuh mwet Philistia in mau unilya David.)
Then Saul said, “Speak in this way to David: The king does not have need of any dowry, but only one hundred foreskins from the Philistine men, so that he may be vindicated from the enemies of the king.” So did Saul think to deliver David into the hands of the Philistines.
26 Ke mwet pwapa lal Saul elos fahkang kas lal inge nu sel David, na David el engan lah el ac wen talupal tokosra. Meet liki len in marut,
And when his servants had repeated to David the words that Saul had spoken, the word was pleasing in the eyes of David, so that he would become son-in-law of the king.
27 David el eis mwet lal som ac uniya mwet Philistia luofoko. El eisla kulun ma mukul kaclos ac usla nu yorol tokosra, ac oakla nufon ye mutal in akfalye tuh elan wen talupal. Ke ma inge, Saul el enenu na elan eisalang Michal, acn natul, tuh elan payuk sel David.
And after a few days, David, rising up, went with the men who were under him, and he struck down two hundred men of the Philistines. And he brought their foreskins, and he counted them out for the king, so that he might be his son-in-law. And so, Saul gave to him his daughter Michal as wife.
28 Saul el akilen na lah LEUM GOD El welul David, oayapa el akilen lah Michal, acn natul, el lungse David.
And Saul saw and understood that the Lord was with David. And Michal, the daughter of Saul, loved him.
29 Ke ma inge, Saul el arulana sangeng sel David yohk liki meet, ac el mwet lokoalok lal David in lusen moul lal tok nufon.
And Saul began to fear David all the more. And Saul became the enemy of David, every day.
30 Ke un mwet mweun lun mwet Philistia elos ac tuku mweun, pacl nukewa David el ac kutangulosla yohk liki na mwet kol saya lal Saul uh. Ke sripa se inge, David el mutawauk in arulana pwengpeng.
And the leaders of the Philistines departed. And from the beginning of their departure, David conducted himself more prudently than all the servants of Saul, and his name became exceedingly celebrated.
