1 Samuel 21
1 David chu Ahimelech thempupa kimupi din Nob khopi’ah achen ahi. Ahimelech in David chu amu phat in ati anahot’in, “Itia nachangseh nahim? Ipijeh’a mikhatbeh in nahin kilhonpi louham?” tin ana dongin ahi.
Then came Dauid to Nob, to Ahimelech the Priest, and Ahimelech was astonied at the meeting of Dauid, and saide vnto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?
2 David in adonbut’in, “Lengpan kin chomkhat’a eihinsol ahibouve, ipibol dia kahung hi koimacha hetsahlou dia eihil chah ahin, chule kasepaite chun katepna mun chom khat’a eikimupi diuva kaseipeh ahi,” ati
And Dauid saide to Ahimelech the Priest, The King hath commanded mee a certaine thing, and hath sayd vnto me, Let no man know whereabout I sende thee, and what I haue commanded thee: and I haue appointed my seruants to such and such places.
3 “Nehle chah ipipi nanei em? Changlhah pheng nga ahiloule, nehthei adang ipi um'em neipen,” ati.
Nowe therefore if thou hast ought vnder thine hande, giue me fiue cakes of bread, or what commeth to hand.
4 Hichun thempupan jong, adonbut in “Keihon changlhah mai mai kaneipouve, ahinlah koitobang nailamcha-a numeiya kisuboh louho dingin changlhah theng kanei uve,” ati.
And the Priest answered Dauid, and saide, There is no common bread vnder mine hande, but here is halowed bread, if the yong men haue kept themselues, at least from women.
5 Hichun David in, “Lungkham hihin, keiman, kamite ho adeh’a galsat dinga akiche tengule, numeija kona kikangse louho kaphal jipoi, gamkhol mai mai kache tengu jong hiche thudol’a kisuboh ngailou ahiuve, achutile hiche khohsah tum neiya kholjinna’a iti thenda diu ham!” ati.
Dauid then answered the Priest, and sayde vnto him, Certainely women haue bene separarate from vs these two or three dayes since I came out: and the vessels of the yong men were holy, though the way were prophane, and how much more then shall euery one be sanctified this day in the vessell?
6 Nehding dang aumtah lou jeh'in, thempupan changlhah kithensosa chu David apetai, ajeh chu changlhah Pathena tosa bou chu anei ahin, hichu athah akito nitengle changlhah chu kikhel dohji ahi. Chule hiche nikho nitah a chu thah ana kikoi khel ahi.
So the Priest gaue him halowed bread: for there was no bread there, saue the shewe bread that was taken from before the Lord, to put hote bread there, the day that it was taken away.
7 Edomakon Doeg kiti mipa khat, Saul gancha ching lamkaipu khat anaum khan, houin mun’abol lhing ding kin aneijeh in anaumden khan ahi.
(And there was the same day one of the seruants of Saul abiding before the Lord, named Doeg the Edomite, the chiefest of Sauls heardmen)
8 David in Ahimeleh jah’a, “Nakoma tengcha ahiloule chemjam um'em? Lengpa kin’a kigoman louva kahung ahin, manchah ima kahin choilou ahi!” ati.
And Dauid said vnto Ahimelech, Is there not here vnder thine hand a speare or a sworde? for I haue neither brought my sworde nor mine harnesse with me, because the Kings businesse required haste.
9 Hichun Ahimelech in, “Elah phaicham’a nathana pa, Philistine mipa Goliath chemjam bou chu kanei’e; hikoma thempu von kikoina nunglam’a khun pon’in akichun in aume, nadeilekilah in, adangvang aumpoi” ati. Chuin David in ajah’a, “Hichu neipen! Chusang’a phajo le hoijo chemjam adang umponte,” ati.
And the Priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistim, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is wrapt in a cloth behinde the Ephod: if thou wilt take that to thee, take it: for there is none other saue that here: And Dauid sayd, There is none to that, giue it me.
10 Hichun David Saul koma konin ajamdoh’in, Gath khopi Achish lengpa heng ajontan ahi.
And Dauid arose and fled the same day from the presence of Saul, and went to Achish the King of Gath.
11 Ahinlah Achish lenggam sung’a lamkaiho chu akomuva aumding chu akipah pouvin ahi. Amahon, “Hiche mipa hi agamsung’a leng changsa David chu hilou haimo? Miho lamuva, ama chung changa hi la asah uva Saul in mi asang asangin athat’in, David in vang sangsom somin athat’e, tia alachoipao chu hilou ham?” tin adonguve.
And the seruants of Achish said vnto him, Is not this Dauid the King of the land? did they not sing vnto him in daunces, saying, Saul hath slayne his thousand, and Dauid his ten thousande?
12 Hiche athuseiho chu David in ajah phat’in Gath lengpa Achish chu akicha lheh jeng tan ahi.
And Dauid considered these wordes, and was sore afraide of Achish the King of Gath.
13 Hijeh chun David jong aki ngolsah’in, kotpi phungdung ho chu ajihpolin, chule akhalhang dunga achilphon akaisah deh duhin jeng in ahi.
And hee changed his behauiour before them, and fayned him selfe mad in their handes, and scrabled on the doores of the gate, and let his spettel fall downe vpon his beard.
14 Achaina in Achish lengpan amiteho komah, “Hitobang mingol chu kahenga nahung sah’u ham?
Then said Achish vnto his seruants, Lo, ye see the man is beside him selfe, wherefore haue ye brought him to me?
15 Kakimvella hitobang mingol kaneilouva nabollu ham? Ipi dinga motchon chon a eisuboi ding bep’a ka-insunglai tah’a, kamasang’a hichepa hinpuilut nahiuvam?” tin ahung eojah jeng in ahi.
Haue I neede of mad men, that ye haue brought this fellowe to play the mad man in my presence? shall he come into mine house?
