11Saulo somaa mmarima kɔɔ Dawid fi kɔwɛn hɔ sɛ, opue anɔpa a wonkum no. Nanso Dawid yere Mikal bɔɔ no kɔkɔ se, “Sɛ woanguan ampɛ wo nkwa anadwo yi a, ɔkyena, wobekum wo.” 12Enti Mikal de Dawid faa mfɛnsere mu ma oguanee. 13Na Mikal faa ohoni bi de no too mpa so de atade kataa ho, na ne ti hɔ no nso, ɔde abirekyi ho nwi katae.

17Saulo bisaa Mikal se, “Adɛn nti na woadaadaa me, ama me tamfo aguan?” Mikal buaa no se, “Na ɛsɛ sɛ meyɛ saa efisɛ ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, ‘Mammoa no a, obekum me.’ ”
18Bere a Dawid guanee no, ɔkɔɔ Samuel nkyɛn wɔ Rama kɔkaa nea Saulo ayɛ no no nyinaa kyerɛɛ no. Enti Samuel de Dawid kɔtenaa Naiot. 19Bere a Saulo tee sɛ Dawid te Naiot a ɛwɔ Rama no, 20ɔsomaa asraafo sɛ wɔnkɔkyere no mmra. Nanso woduu a wohuu Samuel ne adiyifo bi sɛ wɔrehyɛ nkɔm no, Onyankopɔn honhom baa Saulo mmarima no so, maa wɔn nso hyɛɛ nkɔm. 21Saulo tee asɛm a aba no, ɔsan somaa asraafo foforo, nanso wɔn nso kɔhyɛɛ nkɔm!

1Sauli anawuza mwana wake Yonatani ndi nduna zake zonse kuti aphe Davide. Koma Yonatani amamukonda kwambiri Davide. 2Choncho anawuza Davide kuti, “Abambo anga Sauli akufuna kukupha. Tsono uchenjere. Mmawa upite ukabisale ndipo ukakhale komweko. 3Ine ndidzapita ndi kukayima pafupi ndi abambo anga ku munda kumene iwe ukabisale. Ndipo ndidzayankhula ndi abambo anga za iwe ndipo chilichonse chimene ndikamve ndidzakuwuza.”
4Tsono Yonatani anakanena zabwino za Davide kwa abambo ake Sauli ndipo anati, “Mfumu musachimwire mtumiki wanu Davide, sanakuchimwireni, koma amakuchitirani zabwino kwambiri. 5Iye anayika moyo wake pa chiswe pamene anapha Mfilisiti uja. Choncho Yehova anachita zazikulu popambanitsa Aisraeli pa nkhondo. Inu munaona zonsezo ndipo munakondwera. Nanga nʼchifukwa chiyani mukufuna kuchimwira munthu wosalakwa pofuna kupha Davide?”
6Sauli anamvera mawu a Yonatani ndipo analumbira kuti, “Pali Yehova, Davide sadzaphedwa.”
7Pambuyo pake Yonatani anayitana Davide namuwuza zonsezi. Choncho Yonatani anabwera naye Davide kwa Sauli ndipo ankamutumikira Sauliyo monga kale.
8Panabukanso nkhondo ina ndipo Davide anapita ndi kukamenyana ndi Afilisti. Iye anawakantha mwamphamvu kotero kuti Afilisti anathawa.
9Tsiku lina mzimu woyipa uja unafikanso pa Sauli. Nthawi imeneyi nʼkuti Sauli uja ali mʼnyumba mwake, mkondo uli mʼdzanja lake ndi Davide akuyimba zeze, 10Sauli anafuna kumubaya Davide ndi kumukhomera kukhoma, koma Davide anapewa mkondowo kotero Sauli anakabaya pa khoma. Usiku womwewo Davide anathawa.
11Usiku womwewo Sauli anatumiza anthu ku nyumba ya Davide kuti akamubisalire ndi kumupha mmamawa. Koma Mikala mkazi wake anamuchenjeza nati, “Ngati usiku uno supulumutsa moyo wako, mawa udzaphedwa.” 12Choncho Mikala anamutulutsira Davide pa zenera, ndipo anathawa ndi kupulumuka. 13Kenaka Mikala anatenga fano naligoneka pa bedi nayika pilo wa ubweya wa mbuzi ku mutu kwa fanolo ndipo analifunditsa nsalu.
14Pamene amithenga a Sauli aja anafika kuti akamugwire Davide, Mikala anati, “Davide akudwala.”
15Koma Sauli anatumanso anthuwo kuti akamuone Davide, nati, “Mubwere naye kuno ali pa bedi pomwepo kuti ndidzamuphe.” 16Koma pamene anthuwo analowa, anangoona fano pa bedipo ndi pilo wa ubweya wa mbuzi ku mutu kwake.
17Tsono Sauli anafunsa Mikala kuti, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani wandinamiza chotere polola kuti mdani wanga athawe?”
Mikala anayankha kuti, “Davide anandiwuza kuti, ‘Ukapanda kutero ndikupha.’ ”
18Choncho Davide anathawa napulumuka. Pambuyo pake anapita kwa Samueli ku Rama nakamuwuza zonse zimene Sauli anamuchita. Kenaka iye ndi Samueli anapita kukakhala ku Nayoti. 19Sauli anamva kuti, “Davide ali ku Nayoti ku Rama.” 20Choncho iye anatumiza anthu kuti akamugwire Davide. Koma anaona gulu la aneneri likulosera ndi Samueli akuwatsogolera. Pomwepo Mzimu wa Mulungu unawafikira ndipo nawonso anayamba kulosera. 21Sauli atamva zimenezi anatumizanso anthu ena, koma nawonso anayamba kulosa. Anatumanso anthu ena kachitatu, koma nawonso anayamba kulosa. 22Pomaliza Sauli mwini wake ananyamuka kupita ku Rama ndipo anafika ku chitsime chachikulu cha ku Seku. Ndipo anafunsa, “Samueli ndi Davide ali kuti?”
Munthu wina anamuyankha kuti, “Ali ku Nayoti ku Rama.”
23Choncho Sauli anapita ku Nayoti ku Rama. Koma Mzimu wa Mulungu unafikanso pa iye ndipo ankalosa akuyenda mpaka anafika ku Nayoti. 24Nayenso anavula zovala zake nayamba kulosa pamaso pa Samueli. Kenaka anagona wamaliseche tsiku lonse ndi usiku wonse. Nʼchifukwa chake anthu amati, “Kodi Sauli alinso mmodzi wa aneneri?”
