1 Samuel 29

1 Hot patetlah Filistinnaw ni a ransanaw hah Aphek kho a pâkhueng. Hahoi Isarelnaw Jezreel vah kaawm e tuikhu koe a tungpup awh.

Now the Philistines assembled together all their camps at Aphek: and the Israelites encamped by the spring which is by Yizre'el.

2 Filistin bawinaw teh, a cum lahoi a thong lahoi a cei parai teh, Devit hoi a taminaw teh Akhish hoi a hnuklah a tho awh.

And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands; but David and his men passed on at the last with Achish.

3 Hot patetlah Filistin bawinaw ni hete Hebru taminaw ni bangmaw a sak awh telah ati. Akhish ni Filistin bawinaw koevah, hete Devit Isarel siangpahrang Sawl e a san, kasawlah kai koe ao toe, kai koe a poung hnin hoi sahnin totouh a yonnae ka hmawt hoeh telah atipouh.

Then said the princes of the Philistines, What are these Hebrews to do? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, Behold, this is David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who hath been with me already a year, or even years, and I have not found the least in him [to blame] from the day of his joining [me] until this day?

4 Hatei Filistin bawinaw ni ahni dawk a lungphuen awh teh, hote tami teh hmuen na poe e koe koung ban sak. Taran tuk nah maimouh koe tho nahanh seh, telah hoehpawiteh, taran tuknae koe tarannaw koelah kambawng vaiteh, maimae taminaw lûkalatkung lah awm payon vaih, a bawipa hoi bout kâpo roi vaih.

And the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, Cause this man to go back, that he may return to his place whither thou hast assigned him; but he shall not go down with us to the battle, that he may not become an adversary to us in the battle; for wherewith could this person reconcile himself unto his master? is it not by means of the heads of these men?

5 Hete Devit nahoehmaw, lam laihoi, Sawl thong touh thong touh, Devit thong hra, thong hra titeh ahni hah la lah a sak awh e hah ati awh.

Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in the dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?

6 Hat torei teh, Akhish ni Devit teh ama koe a kaw teh, BAWIPA a hring e patetlah tamikalan lah na o tangngak, ransa thung hoi kai koe na tho na cei e ka hmu navah ahawi toungloung. Kai koe na tho hoi sahnin totouh nang koe hawihoehnae bangcahai ka hmawt hoeh. Hatei, bawinaw ni na kângue awh hoeh.

Then did Achish call David, and say unto him, As the Lord liveth, [I declare] that thou art upright, and that thy going out and thy coming in with me in the camp is good in my eyes; for I have not found in thee any evil from the day of thy coming unto me until this day; nevertheless in the eyes of the lords thou art not good.

7 Hatdawkvah, bawinaw ni a lungkuep nahanlah ban nateh lungkuepcalah ban lawih atipouh.

And now return, and go in peace, that thou mayest not do any evil in the eyes of the lords of the Philistines.

8 Devit ni, Akhish koevah, telah pawiteh bang hno maw ouk ka sak. Nang koe ka o yunglam sahnin totouh ka bawipa ka bawi poung taran hah tuk laipalah ka ban nahane hah na sannaw koe bangmaw a panue awh e kaawm telah atipouh.

And David said unto Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant from the day that I have been before thee, until this day, that I shall not go to fight against the enemies of my Lord the king?

9 Akhish ni Devit ma koe, ka mithmu teh Cathut kalvantami patetlah na hawi. Hatei, Filistin bawinaw ni taran tuknae koe kaimouh koe cet hanh naseh ati awh dawk doeh.

And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou art good in my eyes, as an angel of God; nevertheless, the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle.

10 Hatdawkvah, nang koe ka cet e na bawipa sannaw hoiyah amom vah thaw awh. Amom vah na thaw awh teh, khodai tahma vah na cettakhai awh lawih telah atipouh.

And now rise up early in the morning with the servants of thy master that are come with thee: and rise then up early in the morning, and when ye have light, go away.

11 Hahoi teh Devit hoi a taminaw hah Filistin ram vah amom ban hanelah palang a thaw awh teh, Filistinnaw teh Jezreel lah a takhang awh.

And David and his men rose up early to go away in the morning, to return unto the land of the Philistines; but the Philistines went up to Yizre'el.
