1 Samuel 26
1 Then the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah and said, “Is not David hiding on the hill of Hachilah, opposite Jeshimon?”
Ziph tami ni Gibeah kho a tho teh, Sawl koevah Devit teh Hakhilah mon Hakhilah kho dawk a kâhro nahoehmaw, atipouh.
2 So Saul, accompanied by three thousand chosen men of Israel, went down to the Wilderness of Ziph to search for David there.
Hahoi, Sawl a thaw teh, a rawi e Isarelnaw tami 300 touh a hrawi teh, Ziph ram koelah Devit tawng hane a cei awh.
3 Saul camped beside the road at the hill of Hachilah opposite Jeshimon, but David was living in the wilderness. When he realized that Saul had followed him there,
Sawl teh Jeshimon ram Hakhilah mon dawk a roe. Hatei, Devit teh kahrawngum vah ao teh, Sawl ni na tawng hanelah kahrawng vah a tho tie hah a panue.
4 David sent out spies to verify that Saul had arrived.
Hatdawkvah, Devit ni katuetkungnaw a patoun teh Sawl a tho katang tie hah a panue.
5 Then David set out and went to the place where Saul had camped. He saw the place where Saul and Abner son of Ner, the general of his army, had lain down. Saul was lying inside the inner circle of the camp, with the troops camped around him.
Devit ni a thaw teh, Sawl tungpupnae koevah a cei. Devit ni Sawl hoi ransanaw kaukkung Ner capa Abner a inae hah a hmu. Sawl teh pupim lungui vah a i teh rangleng ransanaw ni a kalup.
6 And David asked Ahimelech the Hittite and Abishai son of Zeruiah, Joab’s brother, “Who will go down with me to Saul in the camp?” “I will go with you,” answered Abishai.
Devit ni Hit tami Ahimelek hoi Joab e nawngha Zeruiah capa Abisai koevah, Sawl roenae koe apimaw kai koe ka kâbang han telah a pacei navah, Abisai ni nang koe kai ka kâbang han atipouh.
7 That night David and Abishai came to the troops, and Saul was lying there asleep in the inner circle of the camp, with his spear stuck in the ground by his head. And Abner and the troops were lying around him.
Devit hoi Abisai teh Sawl tinaw onae koe tangmin vah a cei roi, khenhaw! Sawl te pupim lungui vah a i, a lû koevah tahroe hah talai dawk a thoe sak teh, Abner hoi ransanaw teh a tengpam vah a i awh.
8 Abishai said to David, “Today God has delivered your enemy into your hand. Now, therefore, please let me thrust the spear through him into the ground with one stroke. I will not need to strike him twice!”
Abisai ni Devit koevah, sahnin vah Cathut ni na tarannaw teh na kut dawk na poe toe. Hatdawkvah, na san ni tahroe hah talai dawk vaitahoi na takho sak haw, vai hni touh ka takho mahoeh atipouh.
9 But David said to Abishai, “Do not destroy him, for who can lift a hand against the LORD’s anointed and be guiltless?”
Hateiteh, Devit ni Abisai koe hawi hoeh, bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA Cathut ni satui awi e tami lathueng vah kut a tha teh, ngaithoum e tami apimaw kaawm boi telah atipouh.
10 David added, “As surely as the LORD lives, the LORD Himself will strike him down; either his day will come and he will die, or he will go into battle and perish.
Hothloilah, Devit ni BAWIPA a hring e patetlah BAWIPA a ma ni a hem han doeh. Hoehpawiteh, a duenae hnin a pha han doeh. Hoehpawiteh taran tuknae koe cet vaiteh a due han doeh.
11 But the LORD forbid that I should stretch out my hand against the LORD’s anointed. Instead, take the spear and water jug by his head, and let us go.”
BAWIPA ni satui awi e tami lathueng vah ka kut ka pho hane teh, BAWIPA ni na pasoung hoeh. Hatei, a lû koe e tahroe hoi tuium teh la vaiteh cet leih sei atipouh.
12 So David took the spear and water jug by Saul’s head, and they departed. No one saw them or knew about it, nor did anyone wake up; they all remained asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen on them.
Hahoi teh, Devit ni Sawl e lû koe kaawm e tahroe hoi tuium hah a la teh a cei. Apinihai hmawt hoeh, ahnimanaw pueng teh mat a i awh dawkvah, api buet touh hai a kâhlaw hoeh dawkvah,
13 Then David crossed to the other side and stood atop the mountain at a distance; there was a wide gulf between them.
Devit teh kakaw e a yawn namran lah a cei teh, kahlat e monruisom vah a kangdue.
14 And David shouted to the troops and to Abner son of Ner, “Will you not answer me, Abner?” “Who calls to the king?” Abner replied.
Devit ni tamihupui hoi Ner capa Abner hah a oung teh, Abner na pato mahoeh maw atipouh. Hahoi Abner ni siangpahrang ka oung ngam e tami api nang maw atipouh.
15 So David said to Abner, “You are a man, aren’t you? And who in Israel is your equal? Why then did you not protect your lord the king when one of the people came to destroy him?
Devit ni Abner hanelah na tongpa hoeh maw. Isarelnaw e rahak vah nang patetlah e apimaw kaawm. Bangkongmaw siangpahrang na bawipa hah na ring thai hoeh maw. Tangmin vah tami buet touh ni siangpahrang na bawipa thei hanelah a tho toe.
16 This thing you have done is not good. As surely as the LORD lives, all of you deserve to die, since you did not protect your lord, the LORD’s anointed. Now look around. Where are the king’s spear and water jug that were by his head?”
Na sak e hno hawihoeh. Bawipa a hring e patetlah Bawipa ni satui awi e na bawipa hah kahawicalah na ring hoeh dawkvah, due hanelah na kamcu. Siangpahrang lû koe e tahroe hoi tuium hah nâmaw ao khenhaw! atipouh.
17 Then Saul recognized David’s voice and asked, “Is that your voice, David my son?” “It is my voice, my lord and king,” David said.
Sawl ni Devit e lawk a thai navah, ka thai e lawk he ka capa Devit nange lawk maw atipouh navah, Devit ni oe kaie lawk doeh ka bawipa atipouh.
18 And he continued, “Why is my lord pursuing his servant? What have I done? What evil is in my hand?
Bangkongmaw ka bawipa ni a san hah a pâlei. Bangmaw ka sak. Bangmaw ka kut dawk yonnae kaawm.
19 Now please, may my lord the king hear the words of his servant: If the LORD has stirred you up against me, then may He accept an offering. But if men have done it, may they be cursed in the presence of the LORD! For today they have driven me away from sharing in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods.’
Hatdawkvah siangpahrang ka bawipa na sanpa e lawk he thai haw. Kai na taran hanelah na lung tha kaawmsakkung hah Bawipa lah awm pawiteh, thuengnae heh coe naseh. Hateiteh, tami lah awm pawiteh, Bawipa hmalah thoebo naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh ni cet lawih, alouke cathutnaw e thaw hah tawk lawih telah ati awh teh, Bawipa e râw talai dawk o hoeh nahanelah sahnin na pâlei awh toe hei.
20 So do not let my blood fall to the ground far from the presence of the LORD. For the king of Israel has come out to look for a flea, like one who hunts a partridge in the mountains.”
Hatdawkvah, ka thipaling teh Bawipa ni hmu hoeh e talai dawk lawng naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tamuem tawng hanelah mon dawk kâva e patetlah Isarel siangpahrang teh uihli tawng hanelah a kâva atipouh.
21 Then Saul replied, “I have sinned. Come back, David my son. I will never harm you again, because today you considered my life precious. I have played the fool and have committed a grave error!”
Sawl ni ka payon toe ka capa Devit bout ban leih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na mithmu vah ka hringnae he aphu o poung dawkvah thoe bout na bo mahoeh toe. Khenhaw! pathunae hno ka sak teh ka payon toe ati.
22 “Here is the king’s spear,” David answered. “Let one of the young men come over and get it.
Devit ni oe ka bawipa na tahroe khenhaw! na thoundoun buet touh koe bout lat sak atipouh.
23 May the LORD repay every man for his righteousness and faithfulness. For the LORD delivered you into my hand today, but I would not stretch out my hand against the LORD’s anointed.
BAWIPA ni tami pueng amamae tahroe hoi yuemkamcunae dawk aphu poe naseh. Sahnin vah Bawipa ni nang hah ka kut dawk na poe, hateiteh Bawipa ni satui awi e tami lathueng vah kut ka tha mahoeh atipouh.
24 As surely as I valued your life today, so may the LORD value my life and rescue me from all trouble.”
Khenhaw! sahnin vah na hringnae teh ka mithmu vah aphu o e patetlah Bawipa ni ka hringnae hah aphu awm sak naseh. Runae pueng thung hoi na rungngang naseh atipouh.
25 Saul said to him, “May you be blessed, David my son. You will accomplish great things and will surely prevail.” So David went on his way, and Saul returned home.
Sawl ni Devit koevah, ka capa Devit, hawinae awm seh. Na sak e hno puengpa dawk tânae na hmawt naseh, telah a dei pouh hnukkhu, Devit teh a ban, Sawl hai a ma onae koe a ban van.
