1 Samuel 20
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan: 'What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?'
1David el kaingla liki acn Naioth in Ramah ac som nu yorol Jonathan. El siyuk sel Jonathan, “Ku mea nga oru? Ma koluk fuka nga orala? Ya oasr ma nga oru in lain papa tomom pwanang el suk elan uniyuwi?”
2And he said unto him: 'Far from it; thou shalt not die; behold, my father doeth nothing either great or small, but that he discloseth it unto me; and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.'
2Jonathan el topuk ac fahk, “Ac tia ouinge! Kom fah tia misa! Ma nukewa papa tumuk el oru el muta fahk nu sik, ma srisrik nu ke ma yohk, na pa el tia ku in okanla ma se inge likiyu. Tiana ku in ouinge!”
3And David swore moreover, and said: 'Thy father knoweth well that I have found favour in thine eyes; and he saith: Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved; but truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.'
3Ac David el fahk, “Papa tomom el etu na lupan lungse lom nu sik, na pa el sulela elan tia fahk nu sum ma el akoo in oru inge, mweyen el etu lah kom ac arulana toasr kac. Nga fulahk nu sum ke Inen LEUM GOD moul lah kutu srisrik na ngan misa!”
4Then said Jonathan unto David: 'What doth thy soul desire, that I should do it for thee?'
4Jonathan el fahk, “Kutena ma kom lungse nga in oru, nga ac oru.”
5And David said unto Jonathan: 'Behold, to-morrow is the new moon, when I should sit with the king to eat; so let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even.
5Na David el fahk, “Kufwen Malem Sasu pa ac orek lutu, na ac fal nga in muta yurin tokosra ke pacl in mongo. Tusruktu fin wo sum, nga ac som wikla inimae nwe ke eku in ulela.
6If thy father miss me at all, then say: David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Beth-lehem his city; for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
6Papa tomom el fin akilen lah nga wangin ke tepu lal an, kom fah fahk nu sel mu nga tuh kwafe sum nga in sulaklak som nu acn sik uh Bethlehem, mweyen pa inge pacl se sou luk nufon elos orek kisa ke yac se inge.
7If he say thus: It is well; thy servant shall have peace; but if he be wroth, then know that evil is determined by him.
7Na el fin fahk mu ‘Wona,’ na wangin ma nga ac fosrnga kac. A el fin kasrkusrak, na kom fah etu na lah oasr ma upa el akoo in oru nu sik.
8Therefore deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee; but if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?'
8Nga siyuk kom in nunak munas ac sruokyana wulela mutal kom tuh oru inmasrlok kom. Tusruktu fin oasr mwetik, na kom sifacna uniyuwi. Mwe mea kom in usyula nu yurin papa tomom in tuh anwuki nga?”
9And Jonathan said: 'Far be it from thee; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?
9Jonathan el fahk, “Nimet kom nunak ouingan! Nga funu etu na pwaye lah papa tumuk el akoo in oru ma upa nu sum, ya nga ku in tia fahk nu sum?”
10Then said David to Jonathan: 'Who shall tell me if perchance thy father answer thee roughly?'
10Na David el siyuk, “Papa tomom el fin kasrkusrak topuk kom, na su ac fahkma nu sik?”
11And Jonathan said unto David: 'Come and let us go out into the field.' And they went out both of them into the field.
11Na Jonathan el fahk, “Fahsru kut som nu inimae.” Na eltal som,
12And Jonathan said unto David: 'The LORD, the God of Israel — when I have sounded my father about this time to-morrow, or the third day, behold, if there be good toward David, shall I not then send unto thee, and disclose it unto thee?
12ac Jonathan el fahk nu sel David, “Lela tuh LEUM GOD lun Israel Elan orek lou inmasrlosr. Ke pacl se inge lutu, oayapa ulela, nga fah kusen siyuk sin papa tumuk. Nunak lal fin wo keim, na nga a akkalemye nu sum.
13The LORD do so to Jonathan, and more also, should it please my father to do thee evil, if I disclose it not unto thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace; and the LORD be with thee, as He hath been with my father.
13Tuh el fin nunku in akkolukye kom, lela tuh LEUM GOD Elan uniyuwi nga fin tia akkalemye nu sum tuh kom in ku in kaingla. Lela LEUM GOD Elan wi kom oana ke El tuh welul papa tumuk ah.
14And thou shalt not only while yet I live show me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not;
14Ac nga fin moul na, kom fah nunak munas sruokya wulela mutal lom nu sik, ac kom in pwayena nu sik. A nga fin misa,
15but also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever; no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.'
15na kom in akkalemye kulang lom nu sin sou luk nwe tok. Ac LEUM GOD El fin kunausla mwet lokoalok lom nukewa,
16So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David: 'The LORD even require it at the hand of David's enemies.'
16lela tuh wulela se inmasrloktal in tiana musalla. Fin musalla, LEUM GOD El ac fah kai kom.”
17And Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
17Na Jonathan el sifilpa sap David elan wulela mu el ac lungse na el, mweyen Jonathan el lungse na pwaye David oana ke el lungse el sifacna.
18And Jonathan said unto him: 'To-morrow is the new moon; and thou wilt be missed, thy seat will be empty.
18Ac Jonathan el fahk nu sel David, “Kalem lah kom fin wangin liki tepu in mongo lutu, ac fah akilenyuk, mweyen Kufwen Malem Sasu lutu.
19And in the third day thou shalt hide thyself well, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself in the day of work, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel.
19Ac ulela kom fin wangin pac, ac arulana akilenyuk lah kom wangin. Ke ma inge, wona kom in sifil som wikla acn se na ma kom tuh wikla we meet ah, tukun yol in eot sac.
20And I will shoot three arrows to the side-ward, as though I shot at a mark.
20Na nga fah pusrkaot sukan pisr tolkwe nu ke yol in eot sac, in mu nga pisr in akoalel.
21And, behold, I will send the lad: Go, find the arrows. If I say unto the lad: Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee; take them, and come; for there is peace to thee and no hurt, as the LORD liveth.
21Na nga ac supwaot sie mwet kulansap luk in fahsrot suk. Nga fin fahk nu sel, ‘Liye, sukan pisr uh oan layenu liki kom. Fahla use,’ kalmac pa ma nukewa wo, ac kom ku in ilme. Nga fulahk ke LEUM GOD moul lah wangin mwe fosrnga nu sum.
22But if I say thus unto the boy: Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; go thy way; for the LORD hath sent thee away.
22A nga fin fahk nu sin mwet kulansap luk mu, ‘Sukan pisr uh oan layeno liki kom,’ na kom fah kaing, mweyen LEUM GOD pa supwekom inge.
23And as touching the matter which I and thou have spoken of, behold, the LORD is between me and thee for ever.'
23Ac nu ke wulela se kital orala inmasrloktal uh, LEUM GOD El ac fah oru tuh in oan ma pahtpat.”
24So David hid himself in the field; and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to the meal to eat.
24Na David el som wikla inimae. Ke pacl in Kufwen Malem Sasu, Tokosra Saul el tuku nu ke tepu uh
25And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon the seat by the wall; and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul's side; but David's place was empty.
25ac el muta ke nien muta lal sisken pesinka uh. Abner el muta siskal, ac Jonathan el muta ke la tepu uh ngetang nu yoroltal. Acn in muta lal David uh oalalla.
26Nevertheless Saul spoke not any thing that day; for he thought: 'Something hath befallen him, he is unclean; surely he is not clean.'
26Wangin ma Saul el fahk kac ke len sac, mweyen el nunku mu sahp oasr sripa se sikyak ac David el tia nasnas fal nu ke alu lalos.
27And it came to pass on the morrow after the new moon, which was the second day, that David's place was empty; and Saul said unto Jonathan his son: 'Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to the meal, neither yesterday, nor to-day?'
27Ke len se akluo ah, len se tukun Kufwen Malem Sasu, nien muta lal David ke tepu uh srakna oalal, ac Saul el siyuk sel Jonathan, “Efu ku David el tia tuku nu ke tepu uh ekea, sifilpa misenge?”
28And Jonathan answered Saul: 'David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Beth-lehem;
28Jonathan el topuk ac fahk, “El tuh kwafe sik ngan fuhlella elan som nu Bethlehem.
29and he said: Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me; and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he is not come unto the king's table.'
29El fahk ouinge nu sik, ‘Nunak munas filiyula ngan som, tuh sou luk elos orek kisa ke acn sesr uh, ac tamulel luk el sap nga in som welulos. Na pa kom fin mwet kawuk luk, filiyula nga in som nu yurin sou luk.’ Pa inge sripa se sis el wangin liki nien mutal lal ke tepu lun tokosra.”
30Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him: 'Thou son of perverse rebellion, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own shame, and unto the shame of thy mother's nakedness?
30Saul el foloyak sel Jonathan ac fahk nu sel, “Kom wen nutin sie mutan likkeke ac seakos! Inge nga etu na lah kom welul David lac, ac kom sifacna akmwekinye kom ac nina kiom ah!
31For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the earth, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he deserveth to die.'
31Mea, kom nikin lah ke lusenna moul lal David, kom ac tia ku in tokosra fin facl se inge? Fahla ingena ac usalu. El enenu na elan misa!”
32And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him: 'Wherefore should he be put to death? what hath he done?'
32Ac Jonathan el siyuk, “Ku efu ku elan misa? Mea el orala?”
33And Saul cast his spear at him to smite him; whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to put David to death.
33Na Saul el kipakin osra natul ah nu kacl Jonathan in unilya, ac Jonathan el fah kalem lah Saul el nunku na pwaye elan unilya David.
34So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no food the second day of the month; for he was grieved for David, and because his father had put him to shame.
34Ac Jonathan el kasrkusrak ac tuyak liki tepu ah, ac el tia mongo in len sac nufon — len se akluo ke Kufwen Malem Sasu. El arulana asor kacl David ke sripen Saul el fahk kas na upa kacl.
35And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.
35Lotutang in len tok ah, Jonathan el som nu inimae in sonol David, in oana ma eltal tuh aetuila kac. El us tulik mukul fusr se welul,
36And he said unto his lad: 'Run, find now the arrows which I shoot.' And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
36na el fahk nu sel, “Yuwot ac suk sukan pisr nga ac pusrkaot inge.” Tulik sac kasrusr yula, ac Jonathan el pusrkala pisr soko ah alukela tulik sac.
37And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said: 'Is not the arrow beyond thee?'
37Ke tulik sac sun acn se ma sukan pisr soko ah putati we ah, Jonathan el wowo nu sin tulik sac ac fahk, “Sukan pisr soko ah pa oemeeto!
38And Jonathan cried after the lad: 'Make speed, hasten, stay not.' And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
38Nimet tu na insacn! Sulaklak!” Tulik sac el srukak sukan pisr soko ah, ac el use nu yurin mwet kacto lal.
39But the lad knew not any thing; only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
39Tulik sac tiana etu lah mea kalmen ma inge. Jonathan ac David mukena pa kalem kac uh.
40And Jonathan gave his weapons unto his lad, and said unto him: 'Go, carry them to the city.'
40Na Jonathan el sang kufwen mwe pisr natul nu sin tulik sac, ac sap elan us som nu in siti uh.
41And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the South, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed down three times; and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
41Tukun tulik sac som, David el tuyak liki yol in eot se el wikwik we, ac el sikukmutunte ac faksufi pacl tolu. Na el Jonathan tukeni tung ac angokmwet sie sin sie, ac asor lal David tuh yohk liki asor lal Jonathan.
42And Jonathan said to David: 'Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying: The LORD shall be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed, for ever.' (21-1) And he arose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.
42Ac Jonathan el fahk nu sel David, “God Elan wi kom. LEUM GOD El ac fah oru tuh kom ac fwil nutum, oayapa nga ac fwil nutik, in sruokyana wulela mutal se su nga kom orala inmasrloktal tuh in oan ma pahtpat.” Na David el som, ac Jonathan el folok nu in siti uh.
