Today's audio is from the CEV. Switch to the CEV to read along with the audio. 5 Whatever mission Saul sent him on, David was so successful that Saul gave him a high rank in the army. This pleased all the troops, and Saul’s officers as well. 6 When the men were returning home after David had killed the Philistine, the women came out from all the towns of Israel to meet King Saul with singing and dancing, with joyful songs and with timbrels and lyres. 7 As they danced, they sang: “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.” 8 Saul was very angry; this refrain displeased him greatly. “They have credited David with tens of thousands,” he thought, “but me with only thousands. What more can he get but the kingdom?” 9 And from that time on Saul kept a close eye on David. 10 The next day an evil[a] spirit from God came forcefully on Saul. He was prophesying in his house, while David was playing the lyre, as he usually did. Saul had a spear in his hand 11 and he hurled it, saying to himself, “I’ll pin David to the wall.” But David eluded him twice. 12 Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with David but had departed from Saul. 13 So he sent David away from him and gave him command over a thousand men, and David led the troops in their campaigns. 14 In everything he did he had great success, because the Lord was with him. 15 When Saul saw how successful he was, he was afraid of him. 16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he led them in their campaigns. 17 Saul said to David, “Here is my older daughter Merab. I will give her to you in marriage; only serve me bravely and fight the battles of the Lord.” For Saul said to himself, “I will not raise a hand against him. Let the Philistines do that!” 18 But David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my family or my clan in Israel, that I should become the king’s son-in-law?” 19 So[b] when the time came for Merab, Saul’s daughter, to be given to David, she was given in marriage to Adriel of Meholah. 20 Now Saul’s daughter Michal was in love with David, and when they told Saul about it, he was pleased. 21 “I will give her to him,” he thought, “so that she may be a snare to him and so that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David, “Now you have a second opportunity to become my son-in-law.” 22 Then Saul ordered his attendants: “Speak to David privately and say, ‘Look, the king likes you, and his attendants all love you; now become his son-in-law.’” 23 They repeated these words to David. But David said, “Do you think it is a small matter to become the king’s son-in-law? I’m only a poor man and little known.” 24 When Saul’s servants told him what David had said, 25 Saul replied, “Say to David, ‘The king wants no other price for the bride than a hundred Philistine foreskins, to take revenge on his enemies.’” Saul’s plan was to have David fall by the hands of the Philistines. 26 When the attendants told David these things, he was pleased to become the king’s son-in-law. So before the allotted time elapsed, 27 David took his men with him and went out and killed two hundred Philistines and brought back their foreskins. They counted out the full number to the king so that David might become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him his daughter Michal in marriage. 28 When Saul realized that the Lord was with David and that his daughter Michal loved David, 29 Saul became still more afraid of him, and he remained his enemy the rest of his days. 30 The Philistine commanders continued to go out to battle, and as often as they did, David met with more success than the rest of Saul’s officers, and his name became well known. 19 Saul told his son Jonathan and all the attendants to kill David. But Jonathan had taken a great liking to David 2 and warned him, “My father Saul is looking for a chance to kill you. Be on your guard tomorrow morning; go into hiding and stay there. 3 I will go out and stand with my father in the field where you are. I’ll speak to him about you and will tell you what I find out.” 4 Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Let not the king do wrong to his servant David; he has not wronged you, and what he has done has benefited you greatly. 5 He took his life in his hands when he killed the Philistine. The Lord won a great victory for all Israel, and you saw it and were glad. Why then would you do wrong to an innocent man like David by killing him for no reason?” 6 Saul listened to Jonathan and took this oath: “As surely as the Lord lives, David will not be put to death.” 7 So Jonathan called David and told him the whole conversation. He brought him to Saul, and David was with Saul as before. 8 Once more war broke out, and David went out and fought the Philistines. He struck them with such force that they fled before him. 9 But an evil[c] spirit from the Lord came on Saul as he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. While David was playing the lyre, 10 Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear, but David eluded him as Saul drove the spear into the wall. That night David made good his escape. 11 Saul sent men to David’s house to watch it and to kill him in the morning. But Michal, David’s wife, warned him, “If you don’t run for your life tonight, tomorrow you’ll be killed.” 12 So Michal let David down through a window, and he fled and escaped. 13 Then Michal took an idol and laid it on the bed, covering it with a garment and putting some goats’ hair at the head. 14 When Saul sent the men to capture David, Michal said, “He is ill.” 15 Then Saul sent the men back to see David and told them, “Bring him up to me in his bed so that I may kill him.” 16 But when the men entered, there was the idol in the bed, and at the head was some goats’ hair. 17 Saul said to Michal, “Why did you deceive me like this and send my enemy away so that he escaped?” Michal told him, “He said to me, ‘Let me get away. Why should I kill you?’” 18 When David had fled and made his escape, he went to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went to Naioth and stayed there. 19 Word came to Saul: “David is in Naioth at Ramah”; 20 so he sent men to capture him. But when they saw a group of prophets prophesying, with Samuel standing there as their leader, the Spirit of God came on Saul’s men, and they also prophesied. 21 Saul was told about it, and he sent more men, and they prophesied too. Saul sent men a third time, and they also prophesied. 22 Finally, he himself left for Ramah and went to the great cistern at Seku. And he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” “Over in Naioth at Ramah,” they said. 23 So Saul went to Naioth at Ramah. But the Spirit of God came even on him, and he walked along prophesying until he came to Naioth. 24 He stripped off his garments, and he too prophesied in Samuel’s presence. He lay naked all that day and all that night. This is why people say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?” 31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” 33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?” 34 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. 37 I know that you are Abraham’s descendants. Yet you are looking for a way to kill me, because you have no room for my word. 38 I am telling you what I have seen in the Father’s presence, and you are doing what you have heard from your father.[a]” 39 “Abraham is our father,” they answered. “If you were Abraham’s children,” said Jesus, “then you would[b] do what Abraham did. 40 As it is, you are looking for a way to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things. 41 You are doing the works of your own father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they protested. “The only Father we have is God himself.” 42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me. 43 Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. 44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! 46 Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? 47 Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.” 48 The Jews answered him, “Aren’t we right in saying that you are a Samaritan and demon-possessed?” 49 “I am not possessed by a demon,” said Jesus, “but I honor my Father and you dishonor me. 50 I am not seeking glory for myself; but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge. 51 Very truly I tell you, whoever obeys my word will never see death.” 52 At this they exclaimed, “Now we know that you are demon-possessed! Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet you say that whoever obeys your word will never taste death. 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?” 54 Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me. 55 Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and obey his word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.” 57 “You are not yet fifty years old,” they said to him, “and you have seen Abraham!” 58 “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” 59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds. 1 Praise the Lord.[b] Blessed are those who fear the Lord, who find great delight in his commands. 2 Their children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. 3 Wealth and riches are in their houses, and their righteousness endures forever. 4 Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous. 5 Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice. 6 Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever. 7 They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord. 8 Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear; in the end they will look in triumph on their foes. 9 They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor, their righteousness endures forever; their horn[c] will be lifted high in honor. 10 The wicked will see and be vexed, they will gnash their teeth and waste away; the longings of the wicked will come to nothing. 12 Mockers resent correction, so they avoid the wise. 13 A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit. 14 The discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.

1 शमूएल 19Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) जोनाथनले दाऊदलाई सहायता गरे 19 शाऊलले आफ्ना छोरा जोनाथन र उसका सबै अधिकारीहरूलाई दाऊदको हत्या गर्नु भने। तर जोनाथनले दाऊदलाई एक्दमै प्रेम गर्थे। 2-3 जोनाथनले दाऊदलाई होसियार गराए, “सावधान बस! शाऊलले तिमीलाई मार्ने मौका खेज्दैछन्। बिहानै खेतमा गएर लुक्नु। म मेरो पितासँग खेतमा आउँछु। हामीहरू तिमी लुकेकै छेउको खेतमा उभिने छौं। म पितासँग तिम्रो बारेमा चर्चा गर्छु। त्यसपछि जे थाहा पाउँछु तिमीलाई बताउँछु।” 4 जोनाथनले आफ्ना पिता शाऊलसँग कुरा गरे। जोनाथनले दाऊदको राम्रो पक्षको चर्चा गरे। जोनाथनले भने, “तपाईं राजा हुनुहुन्छ। दाऊद खालि तपाईंको सेवक मात्र हो। दाऊदले तपाईंलाई कुनै रीतिले हानि गरेको छैन। तपाईंले पनि उसको हानि गर्नु हुँदैन। दाऊदले सधै तपाईंको पक्षमा काम गरे। 5 पलिश्ती गोलियतलाई मार्दा पनि दाऊदले आफ्नो जीवन खतरामा हालेका थिए। परमप्रभुले सबै इस्राएललाई महान विजय दिलाउनु भयो। यो सब देखेर तपाईं खुशी हुनुभयो। अब दाऊदलाई किन मार्न चाहनुहुन्छ! दाऊद निर्दोष छ। दाऊदको हत्या गर्ने कुनै कारण नै छैन।” 6 शाऊलले जोनाथनको कुरा सुन्यो। शाऊलले शपथ खाए, “परमप्रभु जीवित रहनु भए झैं दाऊद मारिने छैन।” 7 यसर्थ जोनाथनले दाऊदलाई बोलाए र सबै कुरा सुनाए। त्यसपछि जोनाथनले दाऊदलाई शाऊल कहाँ लगे। यस पछि शाऊल र दाऊद पहिलेको जस्तै भए। शाऊलले फेरि दाऊदलाई मार्न चाहे 8 युद्ध फेरि शुरू भयो अनि दाऊद पलिश्तीहरूसँग लडन गए। दाऊदले पलिश्तीहरूलाई परास्त गरे र तिनीहरू भागे। 9 परमप्रभुबाटको दुष्ट आत्माले शाऊलमा प्रेवश गर्यो। शाऊल घरैमा बसिरहेका थिए। शाऊलको हातमा भाला थियो। दाऊदले वीणा बजाउँदै थिए। 10 शाऊलले भाला हानेर दाऊदलाई भित्तैमा उनिदिने प्रयास गरे। तर दाऊद उफ्रिएर बाँचे। भाला गएर भित्तामा गाडियो। त्यही रात दाऊद त्यहाँबाट भागे। 11 शाऊलले दाऊदको घरमा मानिस पठाए! मानिसहरूले दाऊदको घरलाई पहरा दिए। तिनीहरू रातभरी त्यही बसे। बिहानी पख दाऊदलाई मारौंला भने। तर दाऊदकी पत्नी मीकलले उसलाई सावधानी गराउँदै भनिन्, “आज राती भाग्नु होस् र आफ्नो ज्यान बचाउँनु होस्। यदि भाग्नु भएन भने भोलि विहान तपाईं मारिनु हुनेछ।” 12 त्यसपछि मीकलले झ्यालबाट झरेर भाग्न लगाईन्। 13 मीकलले एउटा परिवारिक मूर्तिलाई ओध्यानमा सुताएर टाउकोमा बाख्राको रौं राखेर लुगाले ढाकिदिईन्। 14 शाऊलले दाऊदलाई बन्दी बनाउनलाई दूत पठाए। तर मीकलले भनी, “दाऊद बिरामी हुनुहुन्छ।” 15 शाऊलले दूतलाई फेरि दाऊद पछि पठाए र भने, “दाऊदलाई यहाँ ल्याउँनु यदि तिमीले उसलाई आफ्नो आछ्यानमा सुतिरहेको अवस्थामा ल्याऊ ता की म उसलाई मार्न सकूँ।” 16 ती दूत फेरि दाऊदको घर गए। तिनीहरू दाऊदलाई पक्रन भनेर भित्र गए। तर त्यहाँ गएर देखे ओछ्यानमा त एउटा मूर्तिको कपाल बाख्राको रौं पो रहेछ। 17 शाऊलले मीकललाई सोधे, “तैंले मलाई यसरी धोका किन दिइस्? तैंले मेरो शत्रुलाई भगाइस्। दाऊद भाग्यो।” मीकलले शाऊललाई भनी, “यदि मैले दाऊदलाई भाग्नमा सहायता गरिन भने मलाई नै मार्छु भन्यो।” दाऊद भागेर रामा डेरामा पुगे 18 दाऊद भागेर शमूएल भएको ठाउँ रामामा पुगे। दाऊदले तिनी माथि शाऊलले गरेको प्रत्येक कुरा शमूएललाई सुनाए। त्यसपछि दाऊद र शमूएल दुवै अगमवक्ताहरू बसेका डेरामा पुगे। दाऊद त्यहीं बस्नथाले। 19 शाऊलले सुने कि दाऊद रामाको एउटा डेरामा बस्दैछन्। 20 शाऊलले दाऊदलाई पक्रिन मानिस पठाए। तर त्यस डेरामा मानिसहरूले अगमवक्तहरू अगमवाणी गरिरहेका देखे। त्यस दलको माझमा उभिएर शमूएलले नेतृत्व दिंदै थिए। परमेश्वरको आत्मा शाऊलका दूतहरूमा उत्रियो र तिनीहरूले पनि अगमवाणी गर्नथाले। 21 शाऊलले यो खबर पनि सुने र अरू दूतहरू पठाए। तर तिनीहरूले पनि अगमवाणी गर्न थाले। तेस्रो चोटि पनि शाऊलले दूतहरू पठाए तर तिनीहरूले पहिलो तरिका अप्नाए अनि अगमवाणी गर्न लागे। 22 अन्त्यमा, शाऊल आफैं रामा गए। शाऊल सेकूको खलाको छेऊमा एउटा ठूलो कूवा भएतिर आइपुगे र “शमूएल र दाऊद कहाँ छन्” भनी सोधे। मानिसहरूले जवाफ दिए, “रामाको छाउनी छेऊमा।” 23 त्यसपछि शाऊल रामाको त्यस डेरामा पुगे। परमेश्वरको आत्मा पनि शाऊलमा उत्रियो। शाऊलले पनि अगमवाणी गर्न थाले। शाऊलले बाटोदेखि रामाको डेरा सम्मै अगमवाणी बोले। 24 त्यसपछि शाऊलले आफ्नो लुगाहरू खोल्न थाले। शमूएलको अघि पनि शाऊलले अगमवाणी गरिरहे। शाऊल त्यहाँ दिन रात नाङ्गै लडिरहे। यही कारणले मानिसहरू भन्ने गर्छन्, “के शाऊल पनि अगमवक्ताहरू मध्ये कै एकजना हो?”
