1 Samuel 30
1 Nithum jouvin, David le aloite ain’u Ziklag khopi agalhun phatun, Amalek miten Negev chule Ziklag ana sat uva, Ziklag khopi chu meiya ana hal vam’u agatoh khauvin ahi.
It happened, when David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, that Amalek had made a raid on the Negev, and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag, and burned it with fire,
2 Mihem khatcha that louvin, numeile chapang gei geiyin ana kaimang uvin ahi.
and had taken captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great. They did not kill any, but carried them off, and went their way.
3 Chuin David le amihon thilsoh le akisuh chimit chu amuva chule insung uva thil anasoh ho amu phat uvin,
When David and his men came to the city, look, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captive.
4 Amaho ha kan akap’un, acholdeh chan geiyin akap un ahi.
Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
5 David jiteni, Jezreela akona Ahinoam chule Carmel akona Nabal meithai, Abigail, teni jong chu akaimang nalah uva chu jaotha’ah ahi.
David's two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6 Hijeh chun, David jong alung himo behseh jengtan ahi, ajeh chu amiteho jile chateho jong ana kaimang u ahi. Ahinlah David in Pathen akon in thahatna akimu ben ahi.
David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David strengthened himself in YHWH his God.
7 Hijeh chun Abiathar in thempupa jah’a, “Thempu von ompho chu neihin hoipeh in,” ati. Hijeh chun Abiathar in hichu ahinchoi peh’in ahi
David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, "Please bring me here the ephod." Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
8 Chuin David in jong Pakai adongin, “Hiche Amalek mite hi anung’u del leng kaphah ding hinam?” atileh Pakaiyin ahin adonbut in, “Henge, dellin, akaimangsa jouse jong nanung mu kit ding ahi!” ati.
David inquired of YHWH, saying, "If I pursue after this troop, shall I overtake them?" He answered him, "Pursue; for you shall surely overtake them, and shall without fail recover all."
9 Hijeh chun David in mi jagup akigot in, Besor vadung ahungpha tauve.
So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the Wadi Besor, where those who were left behind stayed.
10 Sepaite jani vang chu Besor vadung agalkai ding’u chu alel behseh jeh’u chun, David chun amoh cheng mi jali toh adeltou peh uvin ahi.
But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they couldn't cross the Wadi Besor.
11 Ache uva ahile gamlah ah Egypt mite khat amandoh uvin David henga ahin akailut tauve. Amahon nehding changlhah phabep chule adonding twi apeuvin ahi.
They found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they gave him water to drink.
12 Chule theichang-ga a kisem changlhah lhon jong apeuvin aneh a adon jou phat in atha ahung hat dohtan ahi. Ajeh chu an nelou twidon louva nithum le janthum jen kelthoh a um anahitai.
They gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins. When he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
13 Chuin David in, “Hoiya hungkon nahia, koimi nahim” tia adoh le, “Keima Egypt mi gollhang kahin, Amalek mikhat soh kahi, nithum masanga pat’a chu damlou kahi, kadammo a kipat’a ka pakaipan eidalhah ahitai.
David asked him, "To whom do you belong? Where are you from?" He said, "I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
14 Judah gamsung a Chereth mite gamsung’a Negev khopi, Caleb phung mite gamsung kachom un, chule Ziklag khopi chu meiyin kahal lhah uva hung kile kahiuve,” ati.
We made a raid on the Negev of the Kerethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the Negev of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire."
15 Hichun David in, “Hiche michom ho koma chu neipuilut thei ding ham?” tia adoh le, gollhangpan, “Keima neitha da-a, chule kapu henga neipehdoh kit lou ding’a, Pathen min’a nakihahsel le, keiman napui nange,” ati.
David said to him, "Will you bring me down to this troop?" He said, "Swear to me by God that you will neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this troop." And he swore to him.
16 Hijeh chun David chu apuijin ahile amahon Amalek miteho chun Philistine gamsung le Judah gamsung’a kona achomdoh thilkeo simsen lou kipapina’a golnop abol uva, muntina akithe thang uva, ane pet u, adon pet u chule ala pet u, atohkha tauvin ahi.
When he had brought him down, look, they were spread around over all the ground, eating, drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
17 Chuti chun David le amiten anokhum un, jan khovah keiyin Amalek mite chu athat un ajing nilhum keiyin nilhangkai chan geiyin athat jing un ahi. Gollhang mi jali sangong sang chunga tou’a ajamdoh ho tilou adangse vang athat soh hel in ahi.
David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day and he put them to death. Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men, who rode on camels and fled.
18 Amalek miten alahpeh jouseu chu David in abonchan ainneipi teni jaonan anung lah peh kittai.
He recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; and David rescued his two wives.
19 Imacha jong amangthah den aumpoi, aneo alen, chapa ahiloule chanu, abonchan akinung mu kittai.
There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor anything that they had taken to them. David brought back all.
20 David chun kelngoi hon le bonghon jouse jong abonchan anung lah peh kit in, amiten ahin hoilut soh tauve. Hichun amahon, “Hiche hi David in gal’a achom doh ho ahi,” atiuve.
He took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, and said, "This is David's spoil."
21 Chuin David chu chol behseh jeh a Besor vadunga kidalha sepai jani heng’a achen, David le aloi adangho amuphat uvin ahung potdoh uvin, kipah le thanom tah in ahung lamtouvin ahi.
David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom he also had made to stay at the Wadi Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. And when David came near to the people, he greeted them.
22 Ahin David mite lah miphalou boina sem jeng miphabep khat ho chun, “Hiche eihotoh kilhonkhom lou ho hin hiche thilkeo kichomdoh hohi kilah thei pouvinte,” ahin tiuve.
Then every wicked and worthless one of the men who had gone with David answered, and they said, "Because they did not go with us, we will not give them anything of the spoil that we have recovered, except to each man his wife and his children. And let them take them, and depart."
23 Ahinlah David in, “Ahipoi, kasopi teho, hiche thilkeo chunga hin kilosepou hite. Aman damsella eiven uva, galte eijosah uva, ijakaija eikithopiuva,
Then David said, "You shall not do so after what YHWH has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered into our hand the raiding party that came against us.
24 Eihon hitia hi thu isei uleh kon nasei angai ding ham? Galkonpa chan jat chu thil ngahpa jong chang tei ding ahi,” tin ahin donbut in ahi.
So who will listen to you in this matter? For they are not inferior to you. For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so will his share be who remains with the supplies; they will share alike."
25 Hiche nia kipan chun David in chonna dan ding ana sem in, tuni geiyin Israel sunga chonna dan in akimangtai.
It was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
26 Ziklag ahunglhun phat in, gal’a kihom doh thilkeo phabep chu aloi agol Judaho athot in hitin aseiye, “Hiche thilpeh hi nangho ding ahi, Pakai dougal teho a kon ahi,” ati.
When David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah and to his friends, saying, "Look, a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of YHWH."
27 Athilkeo athot hochu anoiya khomite ding hi ahi, Bethel, Ramoth-negev, Jattir,
He sent it to those who were in Bethel, and to those who were in Ramath Negev, and to those who were in Jattir,
28 Aroer, Siphmoth, Eshtermoa,
and to those who were in Aroer, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa,
29 Jerah’meel khopi Racal, Ken mite khopi dung’a chengte,
and to those who were in Racal, and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenizzites.
30 Hormah, Bor-ashan, Athach,
and to those who were in Hormah, and to those who were in Bor Ashan, and to those who were in Athach,
31 Hebron chujongle David le asepaite toh akilon na muntin na athotsoh kei uvin ahi.
and to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to stay.
