1 Samuel 30

1 David neh a hlang rhoek loh a thum hnin ah Ziklag a pha uh. Te vaengah Amalek loh tuithim neh Ziklag ah cu uh. Te phoeiah Ziklag te a tloek uh tih hmai neh a hoeh uh.

Bvt when Dauid and his men were come to Ziklag the thirde day, the Amalekites had inuaded vpon the South, euen vnto Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burnt it with fire,

2 Te vaengah a khuikah huta rhoek te tanoe kangham la a kol uh. Hlang tah a duek sak muehla a vai uh tih a longpuei ah cet uh.

And had taken the women that were therein, prisoners, both small and great, and slewe not a man, but caryed them away, and went their wayes.

3 Tedae David neh a hlang rhoek te khopuei la ha pawk uh vaengah hmai ah tarha ana hoeh tih a yuu a canu neh a oila te ana sol pauh.

So Dauid and his men came to the city, and beholde, it was burnt with fire, and their wiues, and their sonnes, and their daughters were taken prisoners.

4 Te dongah David neh amah taengkah pilnam loh a ol a huel tih rhap uh. Te vaengah a khuikah thadueng a bawt hil rhap uh.

Then Dauid and the people that was with him, lift vp their voyces and wept, vntill they could weepe no more.

5 David yuu rhoi Jezreel Ahinoam neh Karmel Nabal yuu Abigal khaw a khuen uh.

Dauids two wiues were taken prisoners also, Ahinoam the Izreelite, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.

6 Pilnam pum loh amah ca amah ca ham neh a tanu rhoek ham a hinglu te rhip a phaep uh. Te dongah amah te dae ham te pilnam loh a thui coeng dongah David loh puen a cak tangkik. Tedae David tah BOEIPA a Pathen dongah ni a. pangtung.

And Dauid was in great sorowe: for the people entended to stone him, because the heartes of all the people were vexed euery man for his sonnes and for his daughters: but Dauid comforted him selfe in the Lord his God.

7 Te phoeiah David loh Ahimelek capa, khosoih Abiathar taengah, “Hnisui te kai taengla hang khuen dae,” a ti nah tih Abiathar loh hnisui te David taengla a khuen pah.

And Dauid saide to Abiathar the Priest Ahimelechs sonne, I pray thee, bring me the Ephod. And Abiathar brought the Ephod to Dauid.

8 David loh BOEIPA te a dawt tih, “Caem hnukah he ka hloem koinih ka kae aya?,” a ti nah hatah, “Hloem, na kae rhoe na kae vetih na huul rhoe na huul bitni,” a ti nah.

Then Dauid asked counsell at the Lord, saying, Shall I follow after this companie? shall I ouertake them? And he answered him, Followe: for thou shalt surely ouertake them, and recouer all.

9 Te dongah David neh amah taengkah hlang ya rhuk loh cet uh. Tedae Besor soklong a pha uh vaengah aka coih rhoek loh uelh uh.

So Dauid and the sixe hundreth men that were with him, went, and came to the riuer Besor, where a part of them abode:

10 Te dongah David amah neh hlang ya li loh a hloem uh dae Besor soklong a poeng uh lamkah aka tawn hlang yahnih tah paa uh.

But Dauid and foure hundreth men followed (for two hundreth abode behinde, being too wearie to goe ouer the riuer Besor)

11 Te vaengah lohma li ah Egypt hlang te a hmuh uh tih David taengla a khuen uh. Te phoeiah anih te buh a paek uh tih a caak phoeiah tui a tul uh.

And they found an Egyptian in the fielde, and brought him to Dauid, and gaue him bread and he did eat, and they gaue him water to drinke.

12 Te phoeiah anih te thaidae thaidae phaklung pakhat neh, misur rhae panit a paek uh. Anih te khothaih hninthum neh khoyin hninthum buh ca pawt tih tui a ok pawt dongah tekah te a caak daengah ni a dawn a sai pah pueng.

Also they gaue him a fewe figges, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirite came againe to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunke any water in three dayes, and three nightes.

13 Anih te David loh, “Nang ulae? Nang me lamkah lae?” a ti nah vaengah, “Kai tah Amalek hlang kah sal, Egypt ca dae ni, hnin thum ka tloh dongah ka boei loh n'hnoo.

And Dauid saide vnto him, To whome belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he saide, I am a yong man of Egypt, and seruant to an Amalekite: and my master left me three dayes agoe, because I fell sicke.

14 Kaimih loh Kerethi tuithim, Judah neh Kaleb tuithim te ka muk uh tih Ziklag te hmai neh ka hoeh uh,” a ti nah.

We roued vpon the South of Chereth, and vpon the coast belonging to Iudah, and vpon the South of Caleb, and we burnt Ziklag with fire.

15 Te dongah anih te David loh, “Tekah caem taengla kai nan suntlak puei aya?” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Kai nan duek sak ham neh ka boeipa kut ah kai nan det pawt ham mah, Pathen taengah kai hamla toemngam lamtah nang te caem taengla kan suntlak puei bitni,” a ti nah.

And Dauid saide vnto him, Canst thou bring me to this companie? And he said, Sweare vnto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliuer me into the handes of my master, and I will bring thee to this companie.

16 Tedae anih a suntlak vaengah tah Philisti kho lamkah neh Judah kho lamkah kutbuem boeih te muep a loh uh coeng dongah diklai hman boeih ah aka ca, aka o neh aka lam rhoek te khawk ana yaal uh.

And when he had brought him thither, beholde, they lay scattered abroade vpon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dauncing, because of all the great pray that they had taken out of the lande of the Philistims, and out of the land of Iudah.

17 Amih te David loh hlaemhmah lamloh a vuen kholaeh duela a ngawn. Te dongah amih lamkah hlang tah loeih pawh. Kalauk dongah aka ngol camoe hlang ya li bueng rhaelrham uh.

And Dauid smote them from the twilight, euen vnto the euening of the next morowe, so that there escaped not a man of them, saue foure hundreth yong men, which rode vpon camels, and fled.

18 Te daengah Amalek kah a loh rhoek te David loh boeih a lat tih a yuu rhoi te khaw David loh a lat.

And Dauid recouered all that the Amalekites had taken: also Dauid rescued his two wiues.

19 Te vaengah amih te tanoe kangham, capa, canu khaw kutbuem khaw a hmaai moenih. Amih lamkah a loh uh boeih te David loh boeih a mael puei.

And they lacked nothing, small or great, sonne or daughter, or of the spoyle of all that they had taken away: Dauid recouered them all.

20 Te vaengah David loh boiva neh saelhung te boeih a loh tih a hmai la a vai uh. Te vaengah, “Boiva he David kah kutbuem ni he,” a ti uh.

Dauid also tooke all the sheepe, and the oxen, and they draue them before his cattell, and said, This is Dauids pray.

21 Te vaengah David taengla hlang yahnih ha pawk tih a tawn doela David hnuk ah cet uh. Amih tah Besor soklong ah a om sak tih David doe ham neh anih taengkah pilnam te doe hamla ha pawk uh. Te dongah David te pilnam taengla thoeih tih amih te sading la a voek.

And Dauid came to the two hundreth men that were too wearie for to follow Dauid: whome they had made also to abide at the riuer Besor: and they came to meete Dauid, and to meete the people that were with him: so when Dauid came neere to the people, hee saluted them.

22 Tedae David hnuk aka vai hlang rhoek khuikah boethae neh aka muen hlang boeih loh a doo uh vaengah, “Kai taengah aka pongpa pawt tah kutbuem n'lat he amih taengla pae boel saeh. A yuu a ca rhoek te tah rhip hmaithawn uh saeh lamtah cet uh saeh,” a ti uh.

Then answered all the euill and wicked of the men that went with Dauid, and saide, Because they went not with vs, therefore will wee giue them none of the pray that wee haue recouered, saue to euery man his wife and his children: therefore let them carie them away and depart.

23 Tedae David loh, “Ka manuca rhoek, te tlam te saii uh boeh. BOEIPA loh mamih taengla m'paek coeng te tah mamih loh ngaithuen sih. Te dongah ni mamih aka cuuk thil caem te mamih kut ah m'paek.

Then saide Dauid, Yee shall not doe so, my brethren, with that which the Lord hath giuen vs, who hath preserued vs, and deliuered the companie that came against vs, into our handes.

24 Caemtloek la aka suntla rhoek kah hamsum la na ti ol te u long a hnatun eh? Te dongah hnopai taengah aka om rhoek khaw hamsum la yen tael uh thae saeh,” a ti nah.

For who will obey you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth downe to the battel, so shall his part be, that tarieth by the stuffe: they shall part alike.

25 Te dongah te khohnin lamkah a so hang ah tah tekah ol te oltlueh neh laitloeknah la a saii tih tihnin due Israel ham a om pah.

So from that day forward hee made it a statute and a lawe in Israel, vntill this day.

26 David te Ziklag la a pha vaengah kutbuem te Judah kah a hamca rhoek taeng neh a hui rhoek taengla a pat tih, “BOEIPA thunkha rhoek kah kutbuem khui lamkah nangmih ham yoethennah ni he ne,” a ti nah.

When Dauid therefore came to Ziklag, he sent of the pray vnto the Elders of Iudah and to his friends, saying, See there is a blessing for you of the spoyle of the enemies of the Lord.

27 Te rhoek te Bethel ah, tuithim Ramath neh Jattir ah,

Hee sent to them of Beth-el, and to them of South Ramoth, and to them of Iattir,

28 Aroer ah, Siphmoth ah, Eshtmoa ah,

And to them of Aroer, and to them of Siphmoth, and to them of Eshtemoa,

29 Rakal ah khaw, Jerahmeli khopuei rhoek ah khaw, Keni kah khopuei rhoek ah khaw,

And to them of Rachal, and to them of the cities of the Ierahmeelites, and to them of the cities of the Kenites,

30 Hormah ah khaw, Khorashan ah khaw, Athach ah khaw,

And to them of Hormah, and to them of Chor-ashan, and to them of Athach,

31 Hebron neh David amah neh a hlang rhoek kah pongpa nah hmuen boeih taengah a tael.

And to them of Hebron, and to all the places where Dauid and his men had hanted.
