1 Samuel 21
1 Devit teh Nob kho e vaihma Ahimelek koevah a pha. Ahimelek ni Devit a hmu navah a kalue teh ahni koe nama dueng maw na hui buet touh hai na tawn hoeh namaw telah atipouh.
Then came Dauid to Nob, to Ahimelech the Priest, and Ahimelech was astonied at the meeting of Dauid, and saide vnto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?
2 Devit ni vaihma Ahimelek koe, siangpahrang ni kai koe thaw buet touh na poe. Tawk hane hoi kâ na poe e apinihai panuek sak hanh telah a dei. Hatdawkvah sannaw hie hmuen koe haw e hmuen koe na hruek pouh.
And Dauid saide to Ahimelech the Priest, The King hath commanded mee a certaine thing, and hath sayd vnto me, Let no man know whereabout I sende thee, and what I haue commanded thee: and I haue appointed my seruants to such and such places.
3 Atuvah na kut dawk bangmaw kaawm. Vaiyei panga touh hoehpawiteh na tawn e pueng na poe telah atipouh.
Nowe therefore if thou hast ought vnder thine hande, giue me fiue cakes of bread, or what commeth to hand.
4 Vaihma ni Devit koe tami pueng ni ca thai e vaiyei ka kut dawk awm hoeh eiteh, sannaw ni napui koe ma na thoung awh pawiteh, kathounge vaiyei teh ao, atipouh.
And the Priest answered Dauid, and saide, There is no common bread vnder mine hande, but here is halowed bread, if the yong men haue kept themselues, at least from women.
5 Devit ni vaihma koe atu hnin thum touh thung teh, napui koehoi kathoung awh katang doeh. Ka tâco awh han nahai na sannaw e hnopai hai a thoung.
Dauid then answered the Priest, and sayde vnto him, Certainely women haue bene separarate from vs these two or three dayes since I came out: and the vessels of the yong men were holy, though the way were prophane, and how much more then shall euery one be sanctified this day in the vessell?
6 Vaihma ni hmaitung e vaiyei hloilah alouke vaiyei ao hoeh dawkvah, kathounge vaiyei hah a poe. Hote hmaitung e vaiyei yueng lah vaiyei katha hruek hanelah BAWIPA hmaitung hoi yo la takhoe toe.
So the Priest gaue him halowed bread: for there was no bread there, saue the shewe bread that was taken from before the Lord, to put hote bread there, the day that it was taken away.
7 Hot hnin dawk Sawl e a sannaw thung e tami buet touh BAWIPA hmalah ka tek e ao. A min teh Doeg doeh. Ahni teh Edom tami, Sawl e saring kakhoumkung thung dawk e kacue poung e lah o.
(And there was the same day one of the seruants of Saul abiding before the Lord, named Doeg the Edomite, the chiefest of Sauls heardmen)
8 Devit ni Ahimelek koevah, tahroe thoseh tahloi thoseh, na tat hoeh na maw. Siangpahrang teh huerang a panki dawkvah, tahloi thoseh ka puengcang buet buet touh ka kut dawk ka sin mang hoeh telah atipouh.
And Dauid said vnto Ahimelech, Is there not here vnder thine hand a speare or a sworde? for I haue neither brought my sworde nor mine harnesse with me, because the Kings businesse required haste.
9 Vaihma ni Filistin tami Goliath, Elah tanghling dawk na theinae tahloi hah, khenhaw! Ephod hnuklah hni hoi tangoung e sut ao. Na ngai pawiteh hot hah lat, hote hloilah alouke awm hoeh toe telah ati. Devit ni het patetlae tahloi phun awm hoeh, kai na poe telah atipouh.
And the Priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistim, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is wrapt in a cloth behinde the Ephod: if thou wilt take that to thee, take it: for there is none other saue that here: And Dauid sayd, There is none to that, giue it me.
10 Devit ni a thaw teh Sawl hmalah hoi a yawng teh, Gath siangpahrang Akhish koe a cei.
And Dauid arose and fled the same day from the presence of Saul, and went to Achish the King of Gath.
11 Akhish e a sannaw ni ahni koevah, hete tami heh a ram dawk e siangpahrang Devit nahoehmaw, Sawl ni thong touh thong touh a thei teh, Devit ni thong hra, thong hra a thei telah lamtu lahoi a kong hah la lahoi a sak awh e nahoehmaw ati awh.
And the seruants of Achish said vnto him, Is not this Dauid the King of the land? did they not sing vnto him in daunces, saying, Saul hath slayne his thousand, and Dauid his ten thousande?
12 Devit ni hote lawk a lung thung a hruek teh, Gath siangpahrang Akhish teh a taki poung.
And Dauid considered these wordes, and was sore afraide of Achish the King of Gath.
13 Hatdawkvah ahnimae hmalah a sakyoe e naw a kâthung teh hmaitung vah ka pathu patetlah a kâsak. Thonaw hah a takhawi teh a pâkhamuennaw dawk tamtui do do a lawi sak.
And hee changed his behauiour before them, and fayned him selfe mad in their handes, and scrabled on the doores of the gate, and let his spettel fall downe vpon his beard.
14 Akhish ni a sannaw koe, khenhaw! tamipathu tie na panue awh nahlangva, bangkong kai koe na thokhai awh.
Then said Achish vnto his seruants, Lo, ye see the man is beside him selfe, wherefore haue ye brought him to me?
15 Kai dawk ka pathu e panki teh ka hmalah ka pathu e a kamnue nahane lah maw nangmouh ni ka imthung na kâen sak awh han maw telah a sannaw koe atipouh.
Haue I neede of mad men, that ye haue brought this fellowe to play the mad man in my presence? shall he come into mine house?
