1 Samuel 29
1 Now the Philistines brought all their forces together at Aphek, while Israel camped by the spring in Jezreel.
Muntina Philistine sepaiho Aphek a akikhom khom’un, chule Israel te sepai chu Jezreel twinah phung mun’ah akikhom uve.
2 As the Philistine leaders marched out their units of hundreds and thousands, David and his men marched behind them with Achish.
Philistine lamkaihon, asepai teho loi jakhat loi, loi sangkhat khat in akhen un alamkaiyun, David chule a sepai teho Achish lengpa kom langa akijot un ahi.
3 Then the commanders of the Philistines asked, “What about these Hebrews?” Achish replied, “Is this not David, the servant of King Saul of Israel? He has been with me all these days, even years, and from the day he defected until today I have found no fault in him.”
Ahinlah Philistine gal lamkaihon, “Hebrew mite hohin hiche’a hi ipibolla hiuvem?” atiuve. Chuin Achish in, “Hichepa hi David, Israel mite lengpa Saul sohpa chu ahi. Amahi akum kum’a keitoh umkhom kahi lhonin, ahunglhun nia kipat, tuni chengeiyin athepmona imacha kamupoi,” ati.
4 But the commanders of the Philistines were angry with Achish and told him, “Send that man back and let him return to the place you assigned him. He must not go down with us into battle only to become our adversary during the war. What better way for him to regain the favor of his master than with the heads of our men?
Ahinla Philistine lamkaiho chu alunghang un, “Nakhopi pehna a chun nungsol tan! Ama keihotoh galsat in konkhom thei pouvinte, ama galsatna mun’ah kilehei henlang Philistine mite eihin le sat kit u henlang, eiho luchang hijatpi hi kipoh henlang apupa toh kicham kit taleh, hiche tilouva aman thilpha abolthei ding adang ipi uma nangaitom?” atiuvin ahi.
5 Is this not the David about whom they sing in their dances: ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands’?”
“Hiche David kitipa hi hilou ham? Mihon la abol uva, ‘Saul in mi asang asang athat in, David in mi sangsom som in athat’e, tia kisei chu?
6 So Achish summoned David and told him, “As surely as the LORD lives, you have been upright in my sight, and it seems right that you should march in and out with me in the army, because I have found no fault in you from the day you came to me until this day. But you have no favor in the sight of the leaders.
Hichun Achish lengpan achaina in akouvin David jah’ah, “Pakai hingjing mina kasei ahi, nangma keidin nakitah lheh jengin ahi. Keima gellin nangtoh galla ikon khom dingham kanati ahin, ajeh chu nahunglhun tilla kipat in tuni chan geijin nasuhkhel na imacha kamupon ahi. Ahivanginla Philistine lamkai len dangho nangma toh gal isat khom diu hi, anom pouvin ahi.
7 Therefore turn back now and go in peace, so that you will not do anything to displease the leaders of the Philistines.”
Lungset tah in achunguva lungnom mo louvin, lungmong in inlama kile kit tan,” ati.
8 “But what have I done?” David replied. “What have you found against your servant, from the day I came to you until today, to keep me from going along to fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”
Hichun David in, “Ipi kanabol khella hitobang thil soh ham? Nasohpa keima chunga hi ipi lung lhai louna namu doh’a ka pakai le ka lengpa toh, galmi ho kasat khom thei lou hitam?” ati.
9 Achish replied, “I know that you are as pleasing in my sight as an angel of God. But the commanders of the Philistines have said, ‘He must not go into battle with us.’
Ahinlah Achish in, “Keima tah mudol in, nangma hi Pakai vantil bangin nadih lheh jenge, ahinlah Philistine gal lamkai hon gal nasat khompi ding akichauvin ahi.
10 Now then, get up early in the morning, along with your master’s servants who came with you, and go as soon as it is light.”
Hijeh chun, jingkah matah tengle kithou vinlang namiteho jouse toh neidalha tauvin,” ati.
11 So David and his men got up early in the morning to return to the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
Hiti chun David le aloiteho akigong’un, Philistine gamsung adalha tauvin ahi. Hiche phat chun Philistine sepai hon Jezreel ajon tauvin ahi.
