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 Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying: 'Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon?'
2 Hijeh chun Saul in galsat themcheh Israel sepai sangthum akipuiyin David hol ding in Jiph gammang lam ajonsuh tauvin ahi.
Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, 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 pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
4 Saul chu ahung mong nai ti photoh ding in guhthim in mi asollin ahi.
David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come of a certainty.
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, and came to the place where Saul had pitched; and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host; and Saul lay within the barricade, and the people pitched 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.
Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying: 'Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp?' And Abishai said: 'I will go down 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 Abishai came to the people by night; and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the barricade, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people lay 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.
Then said Abishai to David: 'God hath delivered up thine enemy into thy hand this day; now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not smite him the 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 Abishai: 'Destroy him not; for who can put forth his hand against the LORD'S anointed, and 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, nay, but the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall go down into battle, and be swept away.
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 forbid it me, that I should put forth my hand against the LORD'S anointed; but now take, I pray thee, the spear that is at his head, and the cruse 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 cruse of water from Saul's head; and they got them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither did any awake; for they were all asleep; because 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,
Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of the mountain afar off; a great space being 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.
And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying: 'Answerest thou not, Abner?' Then Abner answered and said: 'Who art thou that criest to 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 valiant man? and who is like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept watch over thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy 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, ye deserve to die, because ye have not kept watch over your lord, the LORD'S anointed. And now, see, where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that 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, O king.'
And he said: 'Wherefore doth my lord pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is 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, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it be the LORD that hath stirred thee up against me, let Him accept an offering; but if it be the children of men, cursed be they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day that I should not cleave unto the inheritance of the LORD, saying: Go, serve other 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.
Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of the LORD; for the king of Israel is come out to seek a single flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge 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.
Then said Saul: 'I have sinned; return, my son David; for I will no more do thee harm, because my life was precious in thine eyes this day; behold, I have played the fool and erred exceedingly.'
22 David in, “Vo lengpa, Hichea hin na tengcha aume, Khangdong mikhat hinsol inlang hung la hen.
And David answered and said: 'Behold the king's spear! let then one of the young men 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 render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; forasmuch as the LORD delivered thee into my hand to-day, 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, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the LORD, and let Him deliver me out of all tribulation.'
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 be thou, my son David; thou shalt both do mightily, and shalt surely prevail.' So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.
