< 1 Samuel 25 >

1 And Samuel died. And all Israel gathered themselves together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
Hathnukkhu, Samuel a due navah, Isarelnaw pueng teh a khuika awh. Ahni teh Ramah kho a onae im koe a pakawp awh. Devit teh Paran kahrawngum lah a cei.
2 And there was a man in Maon whose possessions were in Carmel. And the man was very great in goods, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats. And he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
Maon vah tami buet touh ao. Hote tami teh, Karmel kho dawk ka tawnta poung e lah ao teh tu 3000 touh hoi hmae 1000 touh a tawn. Karmel vah tumuen ouk a ngaw.
3 Now the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail. And the woman was of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance, but the man was churlish and evil in his doings, and he was of the house of Caleb.
Hote tami min teh Nabal doeh. A yu e min teh Abigail. Hote e napui teh, a lungkaang e hoi a meikahawi e lah ao. Hatei a vâ teh, a lung ka patak e hoi a nuen kamathout e lah ao. Ahni teh Kaleb catounnaw doeh.
4 And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
Devit ni kahrawngum hoi Nabal ni tumuen a ngaw e hah a panue.
5 And David sent ten young men, and David said to the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.
Hatdawkvah, Devit ni thoundounnaw 10 touh a patoun teh, hatnavah thoundounaw hah Devit ni Karmel lah takhang awh nateh, Nabal koe na cei awh vaiteh, ka min lahoi kut man awh.
6 And thus ye shall say to him who lives in prosperity, Peace be to thee, and peace be to thy house, and peace be to all that thou have.
Hahoi, ka tawnta poung e tami koe hettelah na dei pouh han, nang dawk thoseh, na imthung dawk thoseh, na tawnta e pueng lathueng thoseh roumnae awm seh.
7 And now I have heard that thou have shearers. Thy shepherds have now been with us, and we did them no hurt, neither was there anything missing to them all the while they were in Carmel.
Na tumuen ka ngaw e tami ao tie ka thai, na tu kakhoumnaw kai koe ouk ao awh teh, runae banghai na poe awh hoeh. Karmel mon dawk ao nathung vah, bang buet touh hai kahmat boihoeh.
8 Ask thy young men, and they will tell thee. Therefore let the young men find favor in thine eyes, for we come in a good day. Give, I pray thee, whatever comes to thy hand to thy servants, and to thy son David.
Na thoundounnaw pacei haw, a dei awh han doeh. Ka thoundounnaw ni nang koe minhmai kahawi hmawt awh naseh. Kaimanaw teh pawi hnin dawk ka pha awh. Pahren lahoi nang koe kaawm e pueng hah na sannaw hoi na capa Devit poe loe telah tet pouh awh titeh lawk a thui.
9 And when David's young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.
Devit e thoundounnaw a pha toteh, Devit ni lawk a thui e patetlah Nabal koe a dei pouh awh teh, duem ao awh.
10 And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants now-a-days who break away every man from his master.
Hatei, Nabal ni Devit e a sannaw koe, Devit teh apimaw. Jesi capa teh apimaw. Atuvah a bawipa ka taran e sannaw nahoehmaw.
11 Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men of whom I know not from where they are?
Ka vaiyei, ka tui, hoi ka tumuen kangawnaw hanelah ka thei pouh e heh nâ lahoi maw a tho awh tie ka panue hoeh e taminaw hah ka poe han namaw.
12 So David's young men turned on their way, and went back, and came and told him according to all these words.
Hatdawkvah, Devit e thoundounnaw karanglah a ban awh teh, Devit koe Nabal ni a dei e naw hah a dei pouh awh.
13 And David said to his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword, and David also girded on his sword. And there went up after David about four hundred men, and two hundred abode by the baggage.
Devit ni a taminaw koevah, na tahloi koung kava awh telah atipouh teh, tahloi koung a kava awh. Devit ma hai tahloi a kava van. Tami 400 touh ni Devit hnuk a kâbang awh. Tami 200 touh ni hnopainaw a la ring awh.
14 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master, and he railed at them.
Hahoi, thoundoun buet touh ni Nabal e a yu Abigail koevah, khenhaw! Devit ni kahrawngum hoi maimae bawipa kut man hanelah a patounenaw a patoun teh, ahni ni a yue.
15 But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, neither did we miss anything as long as we went with them when we were in the fields.
Hatei, ahnimanaw teh maimouh koe hroung ahawi awh. Runae banghai na poe boi awh hoeh. Law dawk ao awh nathung bang hno hai pasai awh hoeh.
16 They were a wall to us both by night and by day all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
Tu ka khoum awh navah, ahnimouh koe ka o awh nathung tahroe hoi taran na ring pouh awh.
17 Now therefore know and consider what thou will do, for evil is determined against our master, and against all his house. For he is such a worthless fellow that a man cannot speak to him.
Hatdawkvah, bangmaw na sak han. Kahawicalah pouk haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, maimae bawipa hoi imthungnaw koe thoenae a sak han toe. Ahni teh tamikahawi hoeh e lah ao dawkvah, apinihai dei thai hoeh telah atipouh.
18 Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched grain, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.
Abigail ni karanglah vaiyei phen 200 touh, misurum kahni touh hoi thawng tangcoung e tu buem panga touh, tavai phen sum panga touh, misurpaw phen 100 touh, thaibunglung ka radip e 200 touh a sin teh, la a phu sak.
19 And she said to her young men, Go on before me, behold, I come after you. But she did not tell her husband Nabal.
Hahoi ama koe kaawm e thoundounnaw koevah, ka hmalah pou cet awh. Nangmae hnuklah ka tho han atipouh. Hatei, a vâ Nabal koe dei pouh hoeh.
20 And it was so, as she rode on her donkey, and came down by the covert of the mountain, that, behold, David and his men came down toward her, and she met them.
La dawk a kâcui teh mon rahim a pha navah, Devit hoi a taminaw ahni koe a cathuk e hah a hmu teh, a kâhmo.
21 Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him, and he has returned me evil for good.
Devit ni ahnie hno buet touh boehai a kahma hoeh nahanelah kahrawngum vah, a tawn e pueng kai ni ayawmyin lah ka ring pouh. Ka hawinae heh thoenae hoi na pathung.
22 God do so to the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all that pertains to him by the morning light so much as one man-child.
Tangtho amom khodai totouh a tawn e pueng thung dawk hoi tongpa camo buet touh kangna ka hlung pawiteh Cathut ni Devit heh taran kut dawk a ngai patetlah na tet lawiseh. Hothlak hai hoe na tet yawkaw seh telah lawk yo a kam toe.
23 And when Abigail saw David, she hastened, and alighted from her donkey, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground.
Abigail ni Devit a hmu navah, la van hoi karanglah a kum teh, Devit hmalah a minhmai talai rekkâbet lah a tabo.
24 And she fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me be the iniquity, and let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine ears, and hear thou the words of thy handmaid.
A khok koe a tabo teh, kai dawk roeroe vah thoe saknae bawt seh. Na sannu ni na hnâthainae koe, lawk ka dei vaiteh, na sannu ni lawk ka dei e hah na thai pouh haw.
25 Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this worthless fellow, even Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him. But I thy handmaid saw not the young men of my lord whom thou sent.
Ka bawipa tamikayon Nabal hah banglahai noutna hanh. A min phung e patetlah doeh ao. Nabal tie patetlah ka pathu e doeh. Kai na sannu ni bawipa nang ni na patoun e thoundounnaw ka hmu hoeh dawk doeh atipouh.
26 Now therefore, my lord, as Jehovah lives, and as thy soul lives, since Jehovah has withheld thee from blood guiltiness, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now therefore let thine enemies, and those who seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
Hatdawkvah, ka bawipa atuteh, BAWIPA a hring e hoi nang na hring e patetlah khoeroe ka hmawt hoeh. BAWIPA ni thi palawng hoeh hane hoi na kut hoi a moi na pathung hoeh hanelah, na tarannaw hoi bawipa nang dawk a thoenae katawngnaw teh, Nabal patetlah tho awh lawiseh.
27 And now this present which thy servant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.
Hahoi ka bawipa nang hanelah na sannu ni poehno ka sin e heh, ka bawipa nang koe ka kâbang e thoundounnaw poe lah awm lawiseh.
28 Forgive, I pray thee, the trespass of thy handmaid. For Jehovah will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights the battles of Jehovah, and evil shall not be found in thee all thy days.
Na sannu ni ka payon e naw hah pankângai ei. Ka bawipa nang teh BAWIPA koe lah taran na tuk dawk thoseh, na hring nathung nang dawk yonpen hane ao hoeh dawk thoseh, BAWIPA ni nang hanelah kacakpounge imthung a kangdue sak han doeh telah atipouh.
29 And though men be risen up to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul, yet the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with Jehovah thy God. And the souls of thine enemies, them he shall sling out as from the hollow of a sling.
Nang ka pâlei hane hoi nang ka thet hanelah taminaw ni na ka tawng nakunghai nange BAWIPA Cathut ni ka bawipa e hringnae teh, kahringnaw rahak vah mek a tangoung sin han doeh. Nang e tarannaw e hringnae teh, tâyai hoi pathui e patetlah a thui vaiteh a kahma awh han.
30 And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee prince over Israel,
BAWIPA ni nang dawk hnokahawi na kam pouh e pueng ka bawipa nang dawk a kuep sak teh, Isarel siangpahrang lah na rawi torei teh,
31 that this shall be no grief to thee, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that thou have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. And when Jehovah shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thy handmaid.
A khuekhaw awm laipalah, tami na thet hoeh. Ka bawipa ni moi na pathung hoeh e hah nang hanlah lungmathoenae lah awm roeroe mahoeh. Ka bawipa hanlah lungkuep hoeh nahanlah awm roeroe mahoeh. BAWIPA ni ka bawipa tak dawk hnokahawi a sak toteh, na sannu heh pahnim hanh atipouh.
32 And David said to Abigail, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me,
Devit ni hai, sahnin nang hoi kâhmo sak hanelah, nang na ka patoun e Isarelnaw e BAWIPA Cathut teh, yawhawi lah awm lawiseh.
33 and blessed be thy discretion, and blessed be thou, who have kept me this day from blood guiltiness, and from avenging myself with my own hand.
Na khopouk thainae teh yawhawinae lah ao vaiteh, sahnin kai teh tami hringnae thei hanelah ka kâcai hoeh nahan, ka kut hoi moipathung laipalah, na kangangkung hai yawhawinae awm lawiseh.
34 For in very deed, as Jehovah, the God of Israel, lives, who has withheld me from hurting thee, unless thou had hastened and come to meet me, surely there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one man-child.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang hah runae na poe hoeh nahanlah hoi, ka ngang e Isarel BAWIPA Cathut teh a hring e patetlah kai hoi kâhmo hanelah karanglah na tho hoehpawiteh, tangtho amom vah Nabal hanelah tongpa buet touh boehai ka pâhlung mahoeh telah Abigail koe a dei pouh.
35 So David received from her hand that which she had brought him. And he said to her, Go up in peace to thy house. See, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.
Ahni ni a sin e poehno a kut dawk e Devit ni a la pouh teh, na onae im koe lah karoumcalah cet haw, nange na lawk ka ngai toe, na minhmai hai ka khet han telah atipouh.
36 And Abigail came to Nabal, and, behold, he held a feast in his house like the feast of a king. And Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. Therefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
Abigail ni hai Nabal koe bout a cei teh, ahni teh siangpahrang e pawibu patetlah bu a ca, puenghoi a parui dawkvah, a tangtho khodai hoehnahlan totouh banghai dei pouh hoeh.
37 And it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
Amom lah Nabal teh misur parui e a thangcuem toteh hote hnonaw hah a yu ni a dei pouh. Ama teh a lung a due pouh teh, talung patetlah ao.
38 And it came to pass about ten days after, that Jehovah smote Nabal, so that he died.
Hnin 10 touh hnukkhu BAWIPA ni a hem teh a due.
39 And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be Jehovah, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil, and the evil-doing of Nabal Jehovah has returned upon his own head. And David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to him to wife.
Nabal a due e hah Devit ni a thai toteh, Nabal ni na pacekpahleknae koehoi na rasa teh, na san kai heh thoenae hno dawk hoi na ka hlout sak e BAWIPA teh a min pholennae awm lawiseh. BAWIPA Cathut ni Nabal hawihoehnae hah amae lathueng bout a pha sak toe telah a dei. Devit ni Abigail teh a yu hanelah tami a patoun.
40 And when the servants of David came to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, David has sent us to thee, to take thee to him to wife.
Devit e a sannaw teh Abigail onae Karmel mon koe a pha awh toteh, Devit ni a yu hanelah a san kaimouh na patoun awh toe telah atipouh.
41 And she arose, and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, Behold, thy handmaid is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
Abigail a thaw teh a hmalah talai dawk a tabo teh, na khenhaw! na sannu he ka bawipa e sannaw e khok pâsu hanelah doeh ka o atipouh.
42 And Abigail hastened, and arose, and rode upon a donkey, with five of her damsels who followed her. And she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
Hathnukkhu Abigail a thaw teh, la dawk a kâcui. A hnukkâbang e a sannu 5 touh hoi Devit ni patounenaw koe a kâbang teh Devit e yu lah ao.
43 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel, and they became his wives, both of them.
Hatnavah, Devit ni Jezreel tami Ahinoam hah a yu lah la a tawn toe. Hattoteh kahni touh hoi yu lah reirei a la.
44 Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
Hatnavah, Sawl ni a canu Mikhal Devit e a yu teh Gallim tami Laish capa Palti koe yo la a kâhâ toe.
