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.

And the Philistines gather all their camps to Aphek, and the Israelites are encamping at 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 princes of the Philistines are passing on by hundreds, and by thousands, and David and his men are passing 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.

And the heads of the Philistines say, 'What [are] these Hebrews?' and Achish saith unto the heads of the Philistines, 'Is not this David servant of Saul king of Israel, who hath been with me these days or these years, and I have not found in him anything [wrong] from the day of his falling away till 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 heads of the Philistines are wroth against him, and the heads of the Philistines say to him, 'Send back the man, and he doth turn back unto his place whither thou hast appointed him, and doth not go down with us into battle, and is not to us for an adversary in battle; and wherewith doth this one reconcile himself unto his lord — is it not with the heads of those 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 answer in choruses, saying, Saul hath smitten among his thousands, and David among his myriads?'

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.

And Achish calleth unto David, and saith unto him, 'Jehovah liveth, surely thou [art] upright, and good in mine eyes is thy going out, and thy coming in, with me in the camp, for I have not found in thee evil from the day of thy coming in unto me till this day; and in the eyes of the princes thou art not good;

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

and now, turn back, and go in peace, and thou dost do no evil in the eyes of the princes 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 saith unto Achish, 'But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant from the day that I have been before thee till this day — that I go not in and have fought 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 answereth and saith unto David, 'I have known that thou [art] good in mine eyes as a messenger of God; only, the princes of the Philistines have said, He doth not go up with us into 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 thou early in the morning, and the servants of thy lord who have come with thee, when ye have risen early in the morning, and have light, then go ye.'

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 riseth early, he and his men, to go in the morning, to turn back unto the land of the Philistines, and the Philistines have gone up to Jezreel.
