1 Samuel 29

1 Philistin misatuh kaminawk boih, Aphek ah amkhueng o; Israel kaminawk loe Jezreel taeng ih tui ohhaih ahmuen ah atai o.

Now the Philistines assembled together all their camps at Aphek: and the Israelites encamped by the spring which is by Yizre'el.

2 Philistin ukkungnawk loe misatuh kami cumvaito, sangto ah tapraek o moe, caeh o; toe David hoi anih ih kaminawk loe Akhish siangpahrang hoi nawnto hnukah bang o.

And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands; but David and his men passed on at the last with Achish.

3 Philistin misatuh angraengnawk mah, Hae ih Hebrunawk loe kawbangmaw oh o? tiah lokdueng o. Akhish mah, Philistin angraengnawk khaeah, David loe Israel siangpahrang Saul ih tamna ah oh, anih loe kai khaeah saningto pacoeng, vaihni ni khoek to oh boeh; kai khaeah ang cawnh pacoeng hoi vaihni ni khoek to a zaehaih tidoeh ka hnu ai vop, tiah a naa.

Then said the princes of the Philistines, What are these Hebrews to do? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, Behold, this is David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who hath been with me already a year, or even years, and I have not found the least in him [to blame] from the day of his joining [me] until this day?

4 Toe Philistin misatuh angraengnawk loe anih nuiah palungphui o moe, To kami loe amlaem let nasoe; na paek ih a ohhaih ahmuen ah amlaem let nasoe; misatuk naah kaicae hoi nawnto caeh hmah nasoe; to tih ai nahaeloe misatuk naah kaicae hae na tuh lat tih; anih mah angmah ih angraeng palung tongsak hanah, aicae ih lu takroek lat mak ai maw?

And the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, Cause this man to go back, that he may return to his place whither thou hast assigned him; but he shall not go down with us to the battle, that he may not become an adversary to us in the battle; for wherewith could this person reconcile himself unto his master? is it not by means of the heads of these men?

5 Saul mah sangto hum moe, David mah sang hato hum, tiah kaminawk mah hnawhhaih hoiah laasak o thuih ih kami loe, hae David na ai maw? tiah a naa o.

Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in the dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?

6 To pongah Akhish mah David to kawk moe, anih khaeah, Angraeng loe hing baktih toengah, nang loe katoeng ah kho na sak; kai hoi nawnto misatuk nathung na toksakhaih paroeai hoih; kai khaeah nang zoh tangsuek nathuem hoi kamtong vaihni ni khoek to na zaehaih tidoeh ka hnu ai; toe ukkungnawk mah nang to koeh o ai.

Then did Achish call David, and say unto him, As the Lord liveth, [I declare] that thou art upright, and that thy going out and thy coming in with me in the camp is good in my eyes; for I have not found in thee any evil from the day of thy coming unto me until this day; nevertheless in the eyes of the lords thou art not good.

7 To pongah vaihi lunghoihta hoiah amlaem let ah; Philistin ukkungnawk koeh ai ih hmuen to sah hmah, tiah a naa.

And now return, and go in peace, that thou mayest not do any evil in the eyes of the lords of the Philistines.

8 Toe David mah, Ka sak ih hmuen timaw oh boeh; nang khaeah kang zoh na ni hoi kamtong vaihni ni khoek to na tamna mah timaw sakpazaehaih oh? Ka caeh moe, ka angraeng siangpahrang ih misa ka tuk thai han ai ah tih hmuen maw oh? tiah a naa.

And David said unto Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant from the day that I have been before thee, until this day, that I shall not go to fight against the enemies of my Lord the king?

9 Akhish mah David khaeah, Ka mikhnukah Sithaw ih van kami baktiah, ka hmaa ah na hoih, tiah ka panoek; toe Philistin misatuh angraengnawk mah, Anih loe misatuk naah kaicae hoi nawnto angzo hmah nasoe, tiah thuih o.

And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou art good in my eyes, as an angel of God; nevertheless, the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle.

10 To pongah khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk loe, Nang hoi nawnto angzo na angraeng ih tamnanawk hoiah khawnbang khodai naah tacawt oh, tiah a naa.

And now rise up early in the morning with the servants of thy master that are come with thee: and rise then up early in the morning, and when ye have light, go away.

11 To pongah David hoi anih ih kaminawk loe khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk o moe, Philistin prae ah amlaem o let. Philisitinnawk loe Jezreel vangpui ah caeh o.

And David and his men rose up early to go away in the morning, to return unto the land of the Philistines; but the Philistines went up to Yizre'el.
