1 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.

And it cometh to pass, when he finisheth to speak unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan hath been bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loveth him as his own soul.

2 N a ka mau a Haora ki a ia i taua ra, kihai hoki ia i tukua kia hoki ki te whare o tona papa.

And Saul taketh him on that day, and hath not permitted him to turn back to the house of his father.

3 I whakarite kawenata ano a Honatana raua ko Rawiri; i arohaina hoki ia e ia, me te mea ko tona wairua ake.

And Jonathan maketh -- also David -- a covenant, because he loveth him as his own soul,

4 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.

and Jonathan strippeth himself of the upper robe which upon him, and giveth it to David, and his long robe, even unto his sword, and unto his bow, and unto his girdle.

5 N a 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.

And David goeth out whithersoever Saul doth send him; he acted wisely, and Saul setteth him over the men of war, and it is good in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul.

6 N a 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.

And it cometh to pass, in their coming in, in David's returning from smiting the Philistine, that the women come out from all the cities of Israel to sing -- also the dancers -- to meet Saul the king, with tabrets, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments;

7 N a ka waiata whakatene nga wahine i a ratou e takaro ana, ka mea, Na Haora ana mano, na Rawiri ana tekau mano i patu.

and the women answer -- those playing, and say, `Saul hath smitten among his thousands, And David among his myriads.'

8 N a 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?

And it is displeasing to Saul exceedingly, and this thing is evil in his eyes, and he saith, `They have given to David myriads, and to me they have given the thousands, and more to him only the kingdom;'

9 N a whakatau ana te kanohi o Haora ki a Rawiri no taua ra tonu iho.

and Saul is eyeing David from that day and thenceforth.

10 N a 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:

And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that the spirit of sadness God prospereth over Saul, and he prophesieth in the midst of the house, and David is playing with his hand, as day by day, and the javelin in the hand of Saul,

11 K o 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.

and Saul casteth the javelin, and saith, `I smite through David, even through the wall;' and David turneth round out of his presence twice.

12 N a ka wehi a Haora i a Rawiri, no te mea i a ia a Ihowa, a kua mawehe i a Haora.

And Saul is afraid of the presence of David, for Jehovah hath been with him, and from Saul He hath turned aside;

13 K oia 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.

and Saul turneth him aside from him, and appointeth him to himself head of a thousand, and he goeth out an cometh in, before the people.

14 N a tupato tonu te whakahaere a Rawiri i ona ara katoa: i a ia ano a Ihowa.

And David is in all his ways acting wisely, and Jehovah with him,

15 A , i te kitenga o Haora he tangata tupato rawa ia, ka wehi ia i a ia.

and Saul seeth that he is acting very wisely, and is afraid of him,

16 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.

and all Israel and Judah love David when he is going out and coming in before them.

17 N a 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.

And Saul saith unto David, `Lo, my elder daughter Merab -- her I give to thee for a wife; only, be to me for a son of valour, and fight the battles of Jehovah;' and Saul said, `Let not my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.'

18 N a 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?

And David saith unto Saul, `Who I? and what my life -- the family of my father in Israel -- that I am son-in-law to the king?'

19 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.

And it cometh to pass, at the time of the giving of Merab daughter of Saul to David, that she hath been given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife.

20 N a 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.

And Michal daughter of Saul loveth David, and they declare to Saul, and the thing is right in his eyes,

21 N a 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.

and Saul saith, `I give her to him, and she is to him for a snare, and the hand of the Philistines is on him;' and Saul saith unto David, `By the second -- thou dost become my son-in-law to-day.'

22 N a 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.

And Saul commandeth his servants, `Speak unto David gently, saying, Lo, the king hath delighted in thee, and all his servants have loved thee, and now, be son-in-law to the king.'

23 N a 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?

And the servants of Saul speak in the ears of David these words, and David saith, `Is it a light thing in your eyes to be son-in-law to the king -- and I a poor man, and lightly esteemed?'

24 N a ka korero nga tangata a Haora ki a ia, ka mea, ko nga kupu enei i puaki mai i a Rawiri.

And the servants of Saul declare to him, saying, `According to these words hath David spoken.'

25 N a 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.

And Saul saith, `Thus do ye say to David, There is no delight to the king in dowry, but in a hundred foreskins of the Philistines -- to be avenged on the enemies of the king;' and Saul thought to cause David to fall by the hand of the Philistines.

26 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.

And his servants declare to David these words, and the thing is right in the eyes of David, to be son-in-law to the king; and the days have not been full,

27 N a 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.

and David riseth and goeth, he and his men, and smiteth among the Philistines two hundred men, and David bringeth in their foreskins, and they set them before the king, to be son-in-law to the king; and Saul giveth to him Michal his daughter for a wife.

28 A i kite a Haora, i mohio, kei a Rawiri a Ihowa; a i arohaina ia e Mikara tamahine a Haora.

And Saul seeth and knoweth that Jehovah with David, and Michal daughter of Saul hath loved him,

29 N a ka nui rawa atu te wehi o Haora i a Rawiri; a he ito a Rawiri ki a Haora i nga ra katoa.

and Saul addeth to be afraid of the presence of David yet; and Saul is an enemy with David all the days.

30 K atahi 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.

And the princes of the Philistines come out, and it cometh to pass from the time of their coming out, David hath acted more wisely than any of the servants of Saul, and his name is very precious.
