1 Samuel 18
1 Now after David's talk with Saul was ended, the soul of Jonathan was joined with the soul of David, and David became as dear to him as his very life.
David hoi Saul lokthuih hoi boih pacoengah, Jonathan loe David poekhaih baktiah poekhaih tawnh pongah, anih to angmah ih takpum baktiah palung.
2 And that day Saul took David and would not let him go back to his father's house.
To na niah Saul mah David to lak, ampa im ah amlaemsak ai boeh.
3 Then Jonathan and David made an agreement together, because of Jonathan's love for David.
Jonathan mah David to angmah ih takpum baktiah palung pongah, anih hoi lokkamhaih to sak.
4 And Jonathan took off the robe he had on and gave it to David, with all his military dress, even to his sword and his bow and the band round his body.
Jonathan loe angmah ih kahni to angkhring moe, David to paek; a khukbuennawk, a sumsen, kalii hoi kaengkaehnawk doeh a paek.
5 And David went wherever Saul sent him, and did wisely: and Saul put him at the head of his men of war, and this was pleasing to all the people as well as to Saul's servants.
David loe Saul mah toksak hanah patoeh kruek a caeh moe, palunghahaih hoiah sak pongah, Saul mah araengh kasang misatuh kaminawk ukkung tok to paek. Anih loe kaminawk boih hoi Saul ih tamnanawk boih mah doeh tapom ih kami ah oh.
6 Now on their way, when David came back after the destruction of the Philistine, the women came out of all the towns of Israel, with songs and dances, meeting David with melody and joy and instruments of music.
David mah Philistin kaminawk to hum moe, im ah amlaem naah, Israel vangpuinawk ih nongpatanawk loe tacawt o boih moe, atuenpawk congca hoi cingcengnawk to boh o, anghoehaih laa to sak o moe, hnawhaih hoiah Saul siangpahrang to dawt o.
7 And the women, answering one another in their song, said, Saul has put to death his thousands and David his tens of thousands.
Nongpatanawk loe Saul mah sangto hum moe, David mah sang hato hum, tiah maeto pacoeng maeto laa sak o.
8 And Saul was very angry and this saying was unpleasing to him; and he said, They have given David credit for tens of thousands, and to me for only thousands: what more is there for him but the kingdom?
To naah David mah sang hato hum moe, kai loe sangto khue ang hum o sak, prae khue ai ah loe, kalah hmuen timaw ka hak han oh vop? tiah Saul mah poekhaih tawnh pongah, to tiah thuih ih lok pongah paroeai palungphui.
9 And from that day Saul was looking with envy on David.
To pongah to na ni hoi kamtong Saul mah David to uthaih mik hoiah khet.
10 Now on the day after, an evil spirit from God came on Saul with great force and he was acting like a prophet among the men of his house, while David was making music for him, as he did day by day: and Saul had his spear in his hand.
Khawnbangah loe Angraeng khae hoi kasae muithla to Saul nuiah krak; Saul mah a imthung aum ah lok taphong naah, David mah sak zong ih baktih toengah, Saul hanah katoeng to kruek pae, toe Saul loe a ban ah tayae to sinh.
11 And Saul, balancing the spear in his hand, said, I will give David a blow, pinning him to the wall. And David got away from him twice.
Saul mah tapang hoi nawnto David to takhawh han, tiah poekhaih tawnh pongah, tayae to takhawh. Toe David mah tayae to vai hnetto ayae taak ving.
12 And Saul went in fear of David, because the Lord was with David and had gone away from Saul.
Angraeng loe Saul khae hoi tacawt moe, David khaeah oh pongah, Saul mah David to zit.
13 So Saul sent him away, and made him a captain over a thousand; and he went about his business before the people.
To pongah Saul mah David to angmah khae hoiah tacawtsak moe, misatuh kami sangto ukkung angraeng ah suek; David loe anih taeng hoiah tacawt moe, misatuh kaminawk to zaehhoih.
14 And in all his undertakings David did wisely; and the Lord was with him.
Angraeng mah oh thuih pongah, David loe a caehhaih loklam kruekah palunghahaih hoiah toksak.
15 And when Saul saw how wisely he did, he was in fear of him.
A sak ih hmuen boih ah acoehaih hoiah sak, tiah Saul mah hnuk naah, anih to zit.
16 But David was loved by all Israel and Judah, for he went out and came in before them.
Toe David loe misatuk naah kaminawk boih zaehhoih pongah, Israel hoi Judah kaminawk mah palung o.
17 And Saul said to David, Here is my oldest daughter Merab, whom I will give you for your wife: only be strong for me, fighting in the Lord's wars. For Saul said, Let it not be through me that his fate comes to him, but through the Philistines.
Saul mah David khaeah, Khenah, canu kacoeh Rerab hae ka tawnh; na zu ah kang paek han; kai han misahoih ah loe, Angraeng hanah misa to tuh ah, tiah a naa. Saul mah, David nuiah ban ka phok mak ai, Philistinnawk mah anih nuiah ban phok o nasoe, tiah poekhaih tawnh.
18 And David said to Saul, Who am I, and what is my father's family in Israel, that I am to be son-in-law to the king?
Toe David mah Saul khaeah, Kai loe mi maw? Kai loe mi maw? Israel prae thungah kai hoi ka imthung takoh khosakhaih loe kawbangmaw oh moe, siangpahrang canu ih sava ah ka oh han? tiah a naa.
19 But when the time came to give Merab, Saul's daughter, to David, she was given to Adriel of Meholath.
Toe David mah Saul ih canu Merab lakhaih atue phak naah loe, a canu to Meholah ih kami Adriel hanah paek ving.
20 And Saul's daughter Michal was in love with David: and Saul had word of it and was pleased.
Saul canu Mikal mah loe David to koeh; to kawng to Saul khaeah a thuih pae o naah, Saul loe poeknawm.
21 And Saul said, I will give her to him, so that she may be a cause of danger to him, and so that the hands of the Philistines may be against him. So Saul said to David, Today you are to become my son-in-law for the second time.
Saul mah, Ka canu Mikal to anih han ka paek han, to tiah ni Mikal hae anih han dongh patung pae baktiah om ueloe, Philistinnawk ban ah amaan thai tih, tiah poek. To pongah Saul mah David khaeah, Nang loe vaihniah ka canu ih sava ah na om tih boeh, tiah a naa.
22 And Saul gave his servants orders saying, Have talk with David secretly and say to him, See how the king has delight in you, and how you are loved by all his servants: then be the king's son-in-law.
To naah Saul mah a tamnanawk to kawk moe, David khaeah hae lok hae thui pae oh, Khenah, siangpahrang loe na nuiah poeknawm, anih ih tamnanawk boih mah doeh nang ang palung o; to pongah vaihniah a canu ih sava ah om lai ah, tiah a naa o.
23 And Saul's servants said these things to David. And David said, Does it seem to you a small thing to be the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, of no great name?
To lok to Saul ih tamnanawk mah David khaeah thuih pae o let; toe David mah, Kai loe khingya koi om ai kamtang caa ah ka oh pongah, siangpahrang canu ih sava ah oh hae hmuen tetta ah maw na poek o? tiah a naa.
24 And the servants of Saul gave him an account of what David had said.
Saul ih tamnanawk mah Saul khaeah, David mah hae tiah lokthuih, tiah a thuih pae o let,
25 And Saul said, Then say to David, The king has no desire for any bride-price, but only for the private parts of a hundred Philistines so that the king may get the better of his haters. But it was in Saul's mind that David might come to his end by the hands of the Philistines.
to naah Saul mah, Siangpahrang mah na zu lakhaih atho paek han koeh ai, a misanawk nuiah lu lak hanah, Philistin kaminawk ih tangyat hin cumvaito ni a koeh, tiah David khaeah thui pae oh, tiah a naa. Saul poekhaih loe Philistin kaminawk ban ah David to dueksak han koeh.
26 And when his servants said these words to David, he was well pleased to be the son-in-law of the king. And the days were still not past.
To lok to a tamnanawk mah David khaeah thuih pae o naah, David mah siangpahrang canu ih sava ah oh hanah koeh. Atue khaehhaih ni akoep ai naah,
27 So David and his men got up and went, and put to death two hundred of the Philistines; and David took their private parts and gave the full number of them to the king, so that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him his daughter Michal for his wife.
David loe angthawk moe, angmah ih kaminawk hoi nawnto caeh pacoengah, Philistin kaminawk cumvai hnetto hum. Nihcae ih tangyat hin to a lak moe, siangpahrang canu ih sava ah oh thai hanah siangpahrang khaeah a sinh pae. To naah Saul mah a canu Mikal to zu ah paek.
28 And it was clear to Saul that the Lord was with David; and he was loved by all Israel.
Angraeng mah David to oh haih, a canu Mikal mah David palung parai, tiah Saul mah panoek.
29 And Saul's fear of David became all the greater, and he went on hating him, day by day.
To naah Saul mah David to zit aep aep; to tiah a hing thung Saul loe David ih misa ah oh.
30 Then the rulers of the Philistines went out to war: and whenever they went out, David did more wisely than all the other servants of Saul, so that his name became greatly honoured.
To pacoengah Philistin kaminawk loe Israel kaminawk tuk hanah angzoh o let; to tiah misatuk han angzoh o pacoengah doeh, David loe kalah Saul ih misatuh kaminawk pongah palunghahaih hoiah misa to tuk pongah, anih loe ahmin amthang aep aep.
