And it comes to pass after the death of Saul, that David has returned from striking the Amalekite, and David dwells in Ziklag [for] two days,
2 Anithum nin mikhat Saul’s ngahmun a konin von tel dehduh le aluchunga leiset nat pum in lunghem vetsahnan a hungin, David angsungah jana neitah in abohkhup tan ahi.
and it comes to pass, on the third day, that behold, a man has come in out of the camp from Saul, and his garments [are] torn, and earth [is] on his head; and it comes to pass in his coming to David, that he falls to the earth and pays respect.
3 Chuin David in adong in, “hoiya kon hung nahim”? atileh amapan adonbut in, “Israel te ngahmun a kon hung jamdoh kahi” ati.
And David says to him, “Where do you come from?” And he says to him, “I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.”
4 Chuin David in adongin, “Epiti hytam?” “Gal umchan thu neiseipih in” ati, chuin aman adonbut in, “kasepai te jouseu galmun akon ajam gam uvin, mitampin thina atoh un, chule Saul le achapa Jonathan jong athi lhon tai ati.”
And David says to him, “What has been the matter? Please declare [it] to me.” And he says, “That the people have fled from the battle, and also a multitude of the people have fallen, and they die; and also Saul and his son Jonathan have died.”
5 Chuin David in Gollhangpa ja ah, “Eti Saul le Jonathan athi taiti nahet ham?” ati.
And David says to the youth who is declaring [it] to him, “How have you known that Saul and his son Jonathan [are] dead?”

And the youth who is declaring [it] to him says, “I happened to meet in Mount Gilboa, and behold, Saul is leaning on his spear; and behold, the chariots and those possessing horses have followed him;
7 Chuin ama ahung kiheiyin keima eimu phat in amakom adin eikoutai. Chuin keiman kadong ngin, Eti kaki thopi ding ham Katie.
and he turns behind him, and sees me, and calls to me, and I say, Here I [am].
8 Hichun aman eidonbut in, nang koi nahim eiti? Chuin keiman kaseipih in, keima Amalek mi kahi Katie.
And he says to me, Who [are] you? And I say to him, I [am] an Amalekite.
9 Hichun ama kahengah ataovin, hung inlang neihung that tan, ajeh chu keiman kanat nahi kathoh jou tapon hijeh chun kathinom tai, ati.
And he says to me, Please stand over me and put me to death, for the arrow has seized me, for all my soul [is] still in me.
10 “Hijeh chun keiman ama chu kathat tai,” tin Amalek mipa chun David komah aseitai, ajeh chu keiman kahet ahitai ama ahinjou tah lou ding chu. Hiti chun a Lallukhuh leh abanbul tom naho kahin lan nakom ah kahin lhut e ka Pakai, ati.
And I stand over him, and put him to death, for I knew that he does not live after his falling, and I take the crown which [is] on his head, and the bracelet which [is] on his arm, and bring them to my lord here.”
11 Hitabong thusoh chu David leh amiten ajah doh phat un apon u abot eh un alung genthei lheh taovin ahi.
And David takes hold on his garments, and tears them, and also all the men who [are] with him,
12 Hitichun amahon sun nilhum in Saul chule achapa Jonathan ding, Pakai sepai holeh Israel nam mite adin an angolun, akap un, pul adou un alunghem un ahi, ajeh chu hiche nikho a hi amaho chemjam a thisoh ahiuve.
and they mourn, and weep, and fast until the evening, for Saul, and for his son Jonathan, and for the people of YHWH, and for the house of Israel, because they have fallen by the sword.
13 Hichun David in thu hinpo gollhang pa komah chun aseitan, “hoiya kon hung nahim ati?” chuin aman adonbut in, keima gamdang, jatdang Amalek mi, nagam uva khosa kahi, ati.
And David says to the youth who is declaring [it] to him, “Where [are] you from?” And he says, “I [am] the son of a sojourner, an Amalekite.”
14 Chuin David in adongin, “Epi tidan a nangman Pakai thaonu mikhat chu thading kichat na nanei lou hel ham? Atie.
And David says to him, “How were you not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy the anointed of YHWH?”
15 Chuin David in amiho khat pen komah chun asei in, “that in!” ati, hichun mipan Amalek mipa chu achemjam in adot in athat tan ahi.
And David calls to one of the youths and says, “Draw near—fall on him”; and he strikes him, and he dies;

and David says to him, “Your blood [is] on your own head, for your mouth has testified against you, saying, I put to death the anointed of YHWH.”
17 Hitichun David in Saul le Jonathan din ka-la asemin,
And David laments with this lamentation over Saul, and over his son Jonathan;
18 Chuleh hichehi Judah te jong hilding ahitin thupeh anei in ahi. hiche la hi thalpi la tin akihen chuleh hichehi Jashar te lekhabu a kijih lut ahi.
and he says to teach the sons of Judah “The Bow”; behold, it is written on the Scroll of the Upright:
19 Vo Israel naloupi nao le nakipa nao chu molsang chungah akithat tai! I ati leh galhang mihat hochu lhugam u hitam!
“The beauty of Israel [Is] wounded on your high places; How the mighty have fallen!
20 Gath muna athu hohi seidoh hih un, Ashkelon lamlen dungah jong phongdoh hih un, achuti louva ahileh Philistines Chanute kipah untin, chule cheptan louho jong galjou bangnga nuidiu ahi.
Do not declare [it] in Gath, Do not proclaim the tidings in the streets of Ashkelon, Lest they rejoice—The daughters of the Philistines, Lest they exult—The daughters of the uncircumcised!
21 O nang Gilboa molsang, nachungah daitwi lhah da hen lang, gojong juhda hen, chule loujao va lou hon jong amuchiga hinsepdoh dahen. Ajeh chu mihatpa lumdal chu suhboh in aum tan; Saul lumdal chu thaotwi nulouva um ahitai.
Mountains of Gilboa! No dew nor rain be on you, And fields of raised-offerings! For there has become loathsome The shield of the mighty, The shield of Saul—without the anointed with oil.
22 Jonathan kineosah chu nasatah ahin, chule Saul chemjam chun na loupi tah atongdoh in ahi. amahon agalmiteu thisan asou vin chule galhat, mi hangsan ho tahsa asun in ahi.
From the blood of the wounded, From the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan Has not turned backward; And the sword of Saul does not return empty.
23 Iti ngailut le lungset um hitam Saul le Jonathan hi! Ahinlai sung lhon leh athigei lhon in aumkhom jing lhon in ahi. amanihi Muvanlai sanga gang joleh keipi bahkai sanga jong hatjo ahilhon in ahi.
Saul and Jonathan! They are loved and pleasant in their lives, And in their death they have not been parted. They have been lighter than eagles, They have been mightier than lions!
24 Vo Israel Chanute, Saul a dingin kap un, ajeh chu amahi ponsanthip deium mantamtah a nachun pao le sana a najem pao chu ahi.
Daughters of Israel! Weep for Saul, Who is clothing you [in] scarlet with delights. Who is lifting up ornaments of gold on your clothing.
25 Iti galhat miho galmuna lhugam u hitam! munsang chungah Jonathan jong athisan akijam tai.
How the mighty have fallen In the midst of the battle! Jonathan [was] wounded on your high places!
26 Jonathan kasopipa, nangjeh in kakap kap jeng e! ichan a kangailut nahi hitam! chule nangman neingailut nahi athuh lheh in, numei ngailut nasangin athuh jon ahi!
I am in distress for you, my brother Jonathan, You were very pleasant to me; Your love was wonderful to me, Above the love of women!
27 Iti mihat ho lhugam a! galmanchah ho mangsoh a, amaho athia kijam chap jeng hitam? ati.
How the mighty have fallen, Indeed, the weapons of war perish!”
