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.
And David comes to Nomba to Abimelech the priest: and Abimelech was amazed at meeting him, and said to him, Why [are] you alone, and nobody with you?
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 David said to the priest, The king gave me a command today, and said to me, Let no one know the matter on which I send you, an concerning which I have charged you: and I have charged my servants [to be] in the place that is called, The faithfulness of God, Phellani Maemoni.
3 “Nehle chah ipipi nanei em? Changlhah pheng nga ahiloule, nehthei adang ipi um'em neipen,” ati.
And now if there are under your hand five loaves, give into my hand what is ready.
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 David, and said, There are no common loaves under my hand, for I have none but holy loaves: if the young men have been kept at least from women, then they shall eat [them].
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.
And David answered the priest, and said to him, Yes, we have been kept from women for three days: when I came forth for the journey all the young men were purified; but this expedition is unclean, therefore it shall be sanctified this day because of my weapons.
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 Abimelech the priest gave him the show bread; for there were no loaves there, but only the presence loaves which had been removed from the presence of the Lord, in order that hot bread should be set on, on the day on which he took them.
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 there on that day one of Saul's servants detained before the Lord, and his name [was] Doec the Syrian, tending the mules of Saul.
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 David said to Abimelech, See if there is here under your hand spear or sword, for I have not brought in my hand my sword or my weapons, for the word of the king was urgent.
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, Behold the sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you struck in the valley of Ela; and it is wrapt in a cloth: if you will take it, take it for yourself, for there is no other except it here. And David said, Behold, there is none like it; give it me.
10 Hichun David Saul koma konin ajamdoh’in, Gath khopi Achish lengpa heng ajontan ahi.
And he gave it him; and David arose, and fled in that day from he presence of Saul: and David came to Anchus king of Geth.
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 servants of Anchus said to him, [Is] not this David the king of the land? Did not the dancing women begin the son to him, saying, Saul has struck his thousand, and David his ten thousands?
12 Hiche athuseiho chu David in ajah phat’in Gath lengpa Achish chu akicha lheh jeng tan ahi.
And David laid up the words in his heart, and was greatly afraid of Anchus king of Geth.
13 Hijeh chun David jong aki ngolsah’in, kotpi phungdung ho chu ajihpolin, chule akhalhang dunga achilphon akaisah deh duhin jeng in ahi.
And he changed his appearance before him, and feigned himself a false character in that day; and drummed upon the doors of the city, and used extravagant gestures with his hands, and fell against the doors of the gate, and his spittle ran down upon his beard.
14 Achaina in Achish lengpan amiteho komah, “Hitobang mingol chu kahenga nahung sah’u ham?
And Anchus said to his servants, Behold! you see the man [is] mad: why have you brought him in 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.
[Am] I in lack of madmen, that you have brought him in to me to play the madman? He shall not come into the house.
