1 Samuel 26
1 Miphabep Ziph a kon in Saul kimupi dingin Gibeah mun ah ahung’un, “David chu Jeshimon nisolama Hakilah mol chunga chu kisel ahi,” ahung tiuve.
And the men of Ziph came to Saul in Gabaa, saying: Behold David is hid in the hill of Hachila, which is over against the wilderness.
2 Hijeh chun Saul in galsat themcheh Israel sepai sangthum akipuiyin David hol ding in Jiph gammang lam ajonsuh tauvin ahi.
And Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having with him three thousand chosen men of Israel, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
3 Saul chun Jeshimon nisolama Hakilah molchung lamlen pang a David kisel namun’a chun ngahmun akisemin ahi. Ahin David chun Saul in gammang noiyah ahung holle ti ahedoh tan ahi.
And Saul encamped in Gabaa Hachila, which was over against the wilderness in the way: and David abode in the wilderness. And seeing that Saul was come after him into the wilderness,
4 Saul chu ahung mong nai ti photoh ding in guhthim in mi asollin ahi.
He sent spies, and learned that he was most certainly come thither.
5 Jankhat David chu Saul umna ngahmun chu kholchil ache in, aven ahileh, Saul, Ner chapa Abner chule a sepai jalamkai chu asung ah alumin, sepaiho chun akollin, akimvellah akigolun un ahi.
And David arose secretly, and came to the place where Saul was: and when he had beheld the place, wherein Saul slept, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his army, and Saul sleeping in a tent, and the rest of the multitude round about him,
6 Chuin David in Hit mipa Ahimelech chule Zeruiah chapa Joab sopipa Abishai jah’a, “Saul ngahmun lailunga khu koipentah in kipedoh’a ei kilhon pi ding ham?” tia adoh a ahile Abishai in. “Keiman nakilhon oi nange,” tin ahin donbut in ahi.
David spoke to Achimelech the Hethite, and Abisai the son of Sarvia the brother of Joab, saying: Who will go down with me to Saul into the camp? And Abisai said: I will go with thee.
7 Hijeh chun David le Abishai chu Saul umna ngahmun sung’ah alut lhon in ana imut pettah’u agatoh lhon in, ngahmun lailung achun Saul alumin, alukhap koma chun atengcha tolla ana kiphut’in, chule Abner le asepaite chu Saul kimvellah ana imuvin ahi.
So David and Abisai came to the people by night, and found Saul lying and sleeping in the tent, and his spear fixed in the ground at his head: and Abner and the people sleeping round about him.
8 Hichun Abishai in David koma o nemtah in, “Tunia hi Pathen in namelma pa nangma khutna napeh doh ahitai, Keiman amahi nivei sut ngai louvin, khatvei seh seh sun ingting leitoh sutbeh tange!” ati.
And Abisai said to David: God hath shut up thy enemy this day into thy hands: now then I will run him through with my spear even to the earth at once, and there shall be no need of a second time.
9 Ahin David in, “Bollou ding ahi, Natha louding ahi. Pakai thaonusa douna-a akhut lama tapou chu koimacha athemmo lou ding aumpoi,” tin ana phoh in ahi.
And David said to Abisai: Kill him not: for who shall put forth his hand against the Lord’s anointed, and shall be guiltless?
10 “Hingjing Pathen mina kasei ahi, nikhat tengle Pathen in Saul hinjep nem tei nante ahiloule tehthi nante ahiloule gal’a thiding ahi.
And David said: As the Lord liveth, unless the Lord shall strike him, or his day shall come to die, or he shall go down to battle and perish:
11 Pathen thaonu khat katha ding chu Pakaiyin ajah nompoi! Ahinlah atengcha le alukhap koma atwipai vang kilah in, chuteng hia kon in dalha hitin cheta hite!” ati.
The Lord be merciful unto me, that I extend not my hand upon the Lord’s anointed. But now take the spear, which is at his head, and the cup of water, and let us go.
12 Hijeh chun David in tengcha le Saul alu koma twipai chu alan chule amale Abishai chu koimacha hetlou kah’in achemang lhon tai, ajeh chu Pakaiyin Saul mite alhim imut ngoideh sah ahi.
So David took the spear, and the cup of water which was at Saul’s head, and they went away: and no man saw it, or knew it, or awaked, but they were all asleep, for a deep sleep from the Lord was fallen upon them.
13 David a ngahmun gallang’u mol’ah akal touvin akiven phah nachan agei lhon in,
And when David was gone over to the other side. and stood on the top of the hill afar off, and a good space was between them,
14 Sepai hole Ner chapa Abner jah din, “Abner, kithouvin!” tin ahin samin ahile “Koi nahim?” tin Abner in adonbut in adong in ahi.
David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying: Wilt thou not answer, Abner? And Abner answering, said: Who art thou, that criest, and disturbest the king?
15 David in, “Aphai Abner, nangma milen, nahilou ong? Nanghi pasal nahi hilou ham? Israel lah’a hi nang tobang mimo koi umkha am? Ipi dinga nangman napu lengpa chu phatecha nahon tup lou ham? Ajeh chu mipi lah’a khat hi napu lengpa thatdin hungleh,
And David said to Abner: Art not thou a man? and who is like thee in Israel? why then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to kill the king thy lord.
16 Hiche hi phaloubeh ahi! Pakai hingjing mina kasei ahi, nangle, lengpa athisa tobang nahi lhontai, ajeh chu nangman na pakai-pa naventup jou tah lou jeh in na losamtai. Napakai, naleng, Pakai thaonu a tengcha le alulhuna atwipai jong phaten koitup peh tangem?” tin ahin samin ahi.
This thing is not good, that thou hast done: as the Lord liveth, you are the sons of death, who have not kept your master, the Lord’s anointed. And now where is the king’s spear, and the cup of water, which was at his head?
17 Saul in David ogin ahi chu ahen, “Kachapa David chu nahilou haimo?” ahin tin ahile David in adonbutin, “Henge ka pakai le lengpa, Ibola ba nei chanle le ham? Ipi kabolset em? Kathepmona ipi ham?
And Saul knew David’s voice, and said: Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said: It is my voice, my lord the king.
And he said: Wherefore doth my lord persecute his servant? What have I done? or what evil is there in my hand?
19 Ahin tun ka pakai le ka lengpa nasohpa thusei hi ngaiyin, Pakaiyin kei douna’a natildoh ahi vangleh ka maicham eisan peh hen. Achuti louva mihem tildoh mai mai ahivangleh, ajao tapou Pakaiya konin gaosap changhen. Ajeh chu amahon kain muna konin ei kidal mang un, Hijeh chun Pakai mitetoh kaum khom thei tapoi, chule gamchom mite pathen houtan eitiuve.
Now therefore hear, I pray thee, my lord the king, the words of thy servant: If the Lord stir thee up against me, let him accept of sacrifice: but if the sons of men, they are cursed in the sight of the Lord, who have cast me out this day, that I should not dwell in the inheritance of the Lord, saying: Go, serve strange gods.
20 Pathen’a konna gamla tah a gamdang mite ho gamsunga kathi ding hitam? Ipijeh a chu Israel lengpa chu uili khat holle a hugn kipatdoh ham? Ipi jeh a kei hi molsang vum'a lhanlha adal bang in eidal jeng ham?” atin ahi.
And now let not my blood be shed upon the earth before the Lord: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as the partridge is hunted in the mountains.
21 Chuin Saul in, “Keiman kabol khel tai, inlam’ah hung kile tan, kachapa, keiman tukal nasugim taponge, tunin kahinkho hi nei hinghoi peh kit tai. Keima angol tobang chule suh khelna tamtah kana neitai,” tin Saul in ahin donbut’e.
And Saul said: I have sinned, return, my son David, for I will no more do thee harm, because my life hath been precious in thy eyes this day: for it appeareth that I have done foolishly, and have been ignorant in very many things.
22 David in, “Vo lengpa, Hichea hin na tengcha aume, Khangdong mikhat hinsol inlang hung la hen.
And David answering, said: Behold the king’s spear: let one of the king’s servants come over and fetch it.
23 Pakaiyin midih le kitah neiho adungjuijin kipaman apehjin ahi. Tunin jong Pakaiyin nangma chu kei khutna eipehsa ahitan, hijongle keiman Pakai thaonusa lengpa chunga kakhut kalap lou hel ding ahi.
And the Lord will reward every one according to his justice, and his faithfulness: for the Lord hath delivered thee this day into my hand, and I would not put forth my hand against the Lord’s anointed.
24 Ven tunia keima mitmua nangma hinkho manlu tah kahisah bang chun keima hinkho jong Pakai mitmun manlu tah hijeng henlang, Pakaiyin thoh hahsa kathohna changsea konin eihuhdoh tei teihen,” ati.
And as thy life hath been much set by this day in my eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the Lord, and let him deliver me from all distress.
25 Chuphat in Saul jong chun David jah a, “Kachapa David nunnom in! Nanghin thil tamtah nahin bol ding chule nalolhin tei ding ahi,” ati. Hichun David jong ajotna ding langa akichen, Saul jong akho lama ahung kile kit tan ahi.
Then Saul said to David: Blessed art thou, my son David: and truly doing thou shalt do, and prevailing thou shalt prevail. And David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
