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.
The Ziphites came to Saul to Gibeah, saying, “Doesn’t David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert?”
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.
Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert, by the way. But David stayed 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 had certainly come.
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.
Then David arose and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David saw the place where Saul lay, with Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his army. Saul lay within the place of the wagons, and the people were encamped around 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 David answered and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, saying, “Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp?” Abishai said, “I will go down with you.”
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 place of the wagons, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people lay around 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 Abishai said to David, “God has delivered up your enemy into your hand today. Now therefore please let me strike him with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not strike 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.
David said to Abishai, “Don’t destroy him, for who can stretch out his hand against Yahweh’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.
David said, “As Yahweh lives, Yahweh will strike him; or his day shall come to die, or he shall go down into 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.
Yahweh forbid that I should stretch out my hand against Yahweh’s anointed; but now please take the spear that is at his head and the jar of water, and let’s 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 jar of water from Saul’s head, and they went away. No man saw it, or knew it, nor did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from Yahweh had fallen on 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 far away, 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, “Don’t you answer, Abner?” Then Abner answered, “Who are you who calls 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,
David said to Abner, “Aren’t you a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy your lord the king.
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 isn’t good that you have done. As Yahweh lives, you are worthy to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, Yahweh’s anointed. Now see where the king’s spear is, and the jar 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?
Saul recognized David’s voice, and said, “Is this your voice, my son David?” David said, “It is my voice, my lord, O king.”
He said, “Why does my lord pursue his servant? For what have I done? 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, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is so that Yahweh has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering. But if it is the children of men, they are cursed before Yahweh; for they have driven me out today that I shouldn’t cling to Yahweh’s inheritance, 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, don’t let my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of Yahweh; for the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea, as when one hunts 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 Saul said, “I have sinned. Return, my son David; for I will no more do you harm, because my life was precious in your eyes today. Behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.”
22 David in, “Vo lengpa, Hichea hin na tengcha aume, Khangdong mikhat hinsol inlang hung la hen.
David answered, “Behold the spear, O king! Let one of the young men come over and get 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.
Yahweh will render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; because Yahweh delivered you into my hand today, and I wouldn’t stretch out my hand against Yahweh’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.
Behold, as your life was respected today in my eyes, so let my life be respected in Yahweh’s eyes, and let him deliver me out of all oppression.”
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, “You are blessed, my son David. You will both do mightily, and will surely prevail.” So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.
