< 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 collected all their armies to Aphek: and the Israelites encamped by a fountain which [is] in Jezreel.
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 in the rear 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 [do] these Hebrews [here]? And Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, [Is] not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who hath been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell [to me] to 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 wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistines said to him, Make this man return, that he may go again to his place which thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he should be an adversary to us: for with what would he reconcile himself to his master? [would it] not [be] with 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 sung one to another in dances, saying, Saul slew 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 Achish called David, and said to him, Surely, [as] the LORD liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host [is] good in my sight: for I have not found evil in thee from the day of thy coming to me to this day: nevertheless the lords favor thee not.
7 Hatdawkvah, bawinaw ni a lungkuep nahanlah ban nateh lungkuepcalah ban lawih atipouh.
Therefore now return, and go in peace, that thou displease not 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 to Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant, so long as I have been with thee to this day, that I may not go and 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 sight, as an angel of God: notwithstanding, 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.
Wherefore now rise early in the morning with thy master's servants that are come with thee: and as soon as ye shall have risen early in the morning, and have light, depart.
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.
So David and his men rose early to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
