1 Samuel 18
1 After David had finished speaking with Saul, the souls of Jonathan and David were knit together, and Jonathan loved him as himself.
Devit ni Sawl koe lawk be a dei hnukkhu, Jonathan hringnae teh Devit hringnae hoi mekkâkuet. Hottelah Jonathan ni a hringnae a lungpataw e patetlah Devit hah a lung a pataw.
2 And from that day Saul kept David with him and did not let him return to his father’s house.
Hot hnin hoi teh Sawl ni Devit a kaw teh a na pa im bout ban sak hoeh toe.
3 Then Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself.
Jonathan ni Devit hah amae hringnae a lungpataw e patetlah a lungpataw dawkvah, ahni hoi lawkkamnae a sak roi.
4 And Jonathan removed the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his tunic, his sword, his bow, and his belt.
Jonathan ni a kâkhu e a hni a rading teh Devit hah a poe. Tarantuknae puengcang, angki, tahloi, licung, taisawm pateng haiyah a poe.
5 So David marched out and prospered in everything Saul sent him to do, and Saul set him over the men of war. And this was pleasing in the sight of all the people, and of Saul’s officers as well.
Sawl ni a patoun e pueng koe Devit ni a cei teh, kahawicalah a tawk teh tânae a hmu. Hatdawkvah, ransanaw kaukkung lah ao sak teh, ransanaw mithmu hoi Sawl e a sannaw mithmu vah ngai ka tho e lah ao.
6 As the troops were returning home after David had killed the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel to meet King Saul with singing and dancing, with joyful songs, and with tambourines and other instruments.
Devit ni Filistin tami a theinae koehoi a tho nah, Isarel napuinaw ni Sawl siangpahrang a dawn awh hanlah la a sak awh teh, lamtu lahoi ka cairing e ratoung, cecak tumkhawng awh teh, Isarel kho koehoi a tho awh.
7 And as the women danced, they sang out: “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.”
Napuinaw ni Sawl thong touh, thong touh. Devit thong hra, thong hra a thei toe telah la a sak awh.
8 And Saul was furious and resented this song. “They have ascribed tens of thousands to David,” he said, “but only thousands to me. What more can he have but the kingdom?”
Hote lawk ni Sawl a lungkhuek sak teh, a lunghawihoeh. Ahnimouh ni Devit 10,000, kai teh 1,000 touh dueng na poe awh. Uknae hloilah a tawn e bangmouh a poe thai ati teh, hote lawk dawk puenghoi a lungkhuek.
9 And from that day forward Saul kept a jealous eye on David.
Hot hnin hoi Sawl ni Devit teh pou a patoup.
10 The next day a spirit of distress sent from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied inside the house while David played the harp as usual. Now Saul was holding a spear,
Atangtho vah Cathut koehoi e muitha kathout ni Sawl e lathueng a pha teh, impui dawk lawk a dei. Devit ni ouk a kueng boi e patetlah ratoung a kueng. Sawl teh a kut dawk tahroe a sin.
11 and he hurled it, thinking, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David eluded him twice.
Devit hah tapang dawk khik kâbet lah ka tâkho han ati teh, Devit a tâkho eiteh ahnie hmalah hoi vai hni touh a roun thai.
12 So Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with David but had departed from Saul.
Hottelah BAWIPA ni Sawl koehoi a tâco teh Devit hoi rei ao dawkvah, Sawl ni Devit teh a taki.
13 Therefore Saul sent David away and gave him command of a thousand men. David led the troops out to battle and back,
Sawl ni a hmaitung hoi Devit a kampuen sak teh 1,000 touh kaukkung lah a hruek. Devit ni taminaw hmalah a tâco a kâen.
14 and he continued to prosper in all his ways, because the LORD was with him.
BAWIPA teh Devit hoi rei ao dawk a cei na tangkuem koe tânae a hmu.
15 When Saul saw that David was very successful, he was afraid of him.
Sawl ni Devit ni tânae kalenpounge a hmu navah hoe a taki.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he was leading them out to battle and back.
Isarel hoi Judah miphunnaw ni kahawicalah a hrawi dawkvah, Devit a lungpataw awh.
17 Then Saul said to David, “Here is my older daughter Merab. I will give her to you in marriage. Only be valiant for me and fight the LORD’s battles.” But Saul was thinking, “I need not raise my hand against him; let the hand of the Philistines be against him.”
Sawl ni Devit koe khenhaw! ka canu kacue e Merab hah na yu lah na poe han, tarankahawilah awm. BAWIPA e taran maha tuk lah a atipouh. Kaie ka kut hah ahnie lathueng phat sak laipalah, Filistinnaw e kut maha ahni lathueng phat seh telah Sawl ni a pouk.
18 And David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my family or my father’s clan in Israel, that I should become the son-in-law of the king?”
Devit ni kai teh Siangpahrang e cava lah ka o nahan bang patet e tami lah maw khuet ka o vaw. Ka hringnae hoi ka imthung hai Isarel dawk bangtelamaw a talue telah Sawl koe atipouh.
19 So when it was time to give Saul’s daughter Merab to David, she was given in marriage to Adriel of Meholah.
Sawl canu Merab hah Devit koe poe hane tueng akuep nah Meholath tami Adriel koevah a yu lah yo la a poe toe.
20 Now Saul’s daughter Michal loved David, and when this was reported to Saul, it pleased him.
Sawl canu Mikhal ni Devit a lungpataw. Sawl koe a dei pouh awh teh, hote ni a lunghawi sak.
21 “I will give her to David,” Saul thought, “so that she may be a snare to him, and the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David, “For a second time now you can be my son-in-law.”
Sawl ni ka canu na poe han. Filistinnaw e a kut ahnie lathueng pha sak hanlah kâmannae tangkam lah ka o sak awh han. Sawl ni Devit koe nang teh ka cava lah na o toe telah apâhni lah bout a dei.
22 Then Saul ordered his servants, “Speak to David privately and tell him, ‘Behold, the king is pleased with you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, become his son-in-law.’”
Sawl ni a sannaw koe kâ a poe teh, Devit hoi lawk duem a kâdei awh. Siangpahrang teh nang koe a lung ahawi. A sannaw ni hai na lungpataw. Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang e cava lah awm lawih na ti awh han telah atipouh.
23 But when Saul’s servants relayed these words to David, he replied, “Does it seem trivial in your sight to be the son-in-law of the king? I am a poor man and lightly esteemed.”
Sawl e sannaw ni hote lawk Devit ni ka thai lah a dei awh. Tami ka roedeng ni, banglahai noutna hoeh e hah namaw, siangpahrang e cava lah khuek o rumram hanelah maw na pouk awh vaw telah ati.
24 And the servants told Saul what David had said.
Sawl e a sannaw ni, Devit ni he telah a dei telah Sawl koe a dei pouh awh nah,
25 Saul replied, “Say to David, ‘The king desires no other dowry but a hundred Philistine foreskins as revenge on his enemies.’” But Saul intended to cause David’s death at the hands of the Philistines.
Sawl ni, Devit koe hettelah na dei pouh awh han, Siangpahrang ni a tarannaw a pathung navah Filistinnaw vuensom 100 touh hoeh e laipalah aphu alouke banghai ngai hoeh, ati telah dei pouh awh atipouh. Hatei Sawl ni Devit hah Filistinnaw e kut dawk due sak hanelah a pouk e doeh.
26 When the servants reported these terms to David, he was pleased to become the king’s son-in-law. Before the wedding day arrived,
Hahoi, a sannaw ni hote lawk hah Devit koe a dei pouh awh toteh, Devit teh siangpahrang cava lah ao hane hah a lung ahawipoung. Hahoi atueng khoe e hnin teh loum hoeh rah.
27 David and his men went out and killed two hundred Philistines. He brought their foreskins and presented them as payment in full to become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave his daughter Michal to David in marriage.
Devit hoi a taminaw a thaw awh teh, Filistinnaw 200 touh a thei awh. Devit ni ahnimae vuensomnaw a sin teh, siangpahrang e cava lah ao nahanelah, ka kuepcalah siangpahrang koe a poe. Sawl ni hai a canu Mikhal hah a yu lah a poe.
28 When Saul realized that the LORD was with David and that his daughter Michal loved David,
Devit koe Cathut ao tie kacaicalah Sawl ni a panue. Sawl e canu ni ahni teh a lungpataw.
29 he grew even more afraid of David. So from then on Saul was David’s enemy.
Sawl ni Devit hoe a taki teh, Sawl teh Devit e taran lah pou ao.
30 Every time the Philistine commanders came out for battle, David was more successful than all of Saul’s officers, so that his name was highly esteemed.
Filistin bawinaw teh a kamthaw awh. A kamthaw awh hnukkhu Devit teh Sawl e a sannaw hlak a kâhruetcuet dawkvah a min hoe a kamthang.
