1 Samuel 23
1 And they sent word to David, saying, The Philistines are fighting against Keilah and taking the grain from the grain-floors.
Ahnimouh ni khenhaw! Filistinnaw ni Keilah khopui a tuk awh teh, cangkatinnae a la awh e hah, Devit ni a thai toteh,
2 So David, questioning the Lord, said, Am I to go and make an attack on these Philistines? And the Lord said to David, Go and make an attack on the Philistines so that Keilah may be kept from falling into their hands.
Kai ni hote Filistinnaw hah ka cei vaiteh ka tuk han namaw telah BAWIPA koe a pacei. BAWIPA ni, cet haw. Filistinnaw hah tuk nateh, Keilah khopui hah rungngang haw telah Devit koe a dei pouh.
3 And David's men said to him, Even here in Judah we are full of fear: how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?
Devit e taminaw nihai, maimouh ni Judah ram dawk patenghai taki awh toe. Keilah khopui cei awh vaiteh, Filistin tuk hane teh taki ka tho poung na bo aw telah a dei awh.
4 Then David put the question to the Lord again, and the Lord answering said, Up! go down to Keilah; for I will give the Philistines into your hands.
Devit ni BAWIPA koe bout a pacei teh, BAWIPA ni, cet awh nateh, Filistinnaw teh nange kut dawk na poe han telah atipouh.
5 So David and his men went to Keilah, and had a fight with the Philistines, and took away their cattle, and put them to the sword with great destruction. So David was the saviour of the people of Keilah.
Devit hoi a taminaw teh, Keilah khopui koelah a cei awh teh, Filistinnaw hoi a kâtuk awh. Saringnaw a la pouh awh, ahnimanaw moikapap a thei awh. Hottelah Devit ni Keilah khopui hah a rungngang.
6 Now when Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, went in flight to David, he came down to Keilah with the ephod in his hand.
Ahimelek capa Abiathar teh, Devit aonae koe Keilah khopui koelah a yawng navah, Ephod a sin laihoi a tho.
7 And news was given to Saul that David had come to Keilah. And Saul said, Now God has given him into my hands; for by going into a walled town with locked doors, he has let himself be shut in.
Devit teh Keilah khopui a cei tie Sawl ni a thai toteh, Cathut ni ka kut dawk na poe toung nahoehmaw. Kho longkha hoi tarennae kaawm e khopui thung a kâen teh paung awh toe telah ati.
8 And Saul sent for all the people to come to the fight, and go down to Keilah to make an attack on David and his men.
Keilah khopui tuk hanelah Devit hoi a taminaw kalup hanelah, amae taminaw pueng a kamkhueng sak.
9 And it was clear to David that Saul had evil designs against him, and he said to Abiathar the priest, Come here with the ephod.
Devit ni ka lathueng vah, Sawl ni hnokathout a sak tie hah a panue teh, vaihma Abiathar koevah Ephod hah hi thokhai haw atipouh.
10 Then David said, O Lord, the God of Israel, news has been given to your servant that it is Saul's purpose to come to Keilah and send destruction on the town because of me.
Devit ni Oe Isarel BAWIPA Cathut, Sawl ni kai kecu dawkvah, Keilah khopui raphoe hanelah a kâcai awh tie ka thai.
11 And now, is it true, as they have said to me, that Saul is coming? O Lord, the God of Israel, give ear to your servant, and say if these things are so. And the Lord said, He is coming down.
Keilah khocanaw ni kai hah a kut dawk na poe han na maw. Na san ni ka thai e patetlah Sawl teh a tho han namaw. Isarel miphun e BAWIPA Cathut, na san koe uren dei haw telah ka pacei navah, BAWIPA ni, a tho han doeh, telah ati pou.
12 Then David said, Will the men of Keilah give me and my men up to Saul? and the Lord said, They will give you up.
Devit ni Keilah taminaw hoi ka taminaw teh Sawl kut dawk na poe han na maw telah a pacei. BAWIPA ni na poe awh han telah ati.
13 Then David and his men, about six hundred of them, went out of Keilah, and got away wherever they were able to go. And Saul, hearing that David had got away from Keilah, did not go there.
Hottelah hoi Devit hoi a taminaw 600 tabang a thaw awh teh, Keilah khopui hoi a tâco awh teh, a coung thai e patetlah a cei awh. Devit teh Keilah khopui hoi a yawng e hah Sawl ni a thai dawkvah, cet hoeh toe.
14 And David kept in the waste land, in safe places, waiting in the hill-country in the waste land of Ziph. And Saul was searching for him every day, but God did not give him up into his hands.
Devit teh, Zeph monrui kahrawngum rapanimnaw dawkvah ao. Sawl ni hnintangkuem a tawng eiteh, Cathut ni a kut dawk Devit hah poe hoeh.
15 And David was full of fear, in the knowledge that Saul had come out to take his life; and David was in the waste land of Ziph, in Horesh.
Devit ni, Sawl ni na thei han tie a panue dawkvah, ahni teh Ziph ramke ratu thung vah ao.
16 And Saul's son Jonathan went to David in Horesh, and made his hands strong in God;
Sawl capa Jonathan a tho teh, Devit aonae koe Horesh lah a cei teh, Cathut dawk tha a kâla nahanelah a kabawp.
17 And said to him, Have no fear, for Saul my father will not get you into his power; and you will be king of Israel, and I will be by your side, and my father Saul is certain of this.
Na lungpuen hanh. Isarelnaw e siangpahrang lah na o vaiteh, kai teh nang kabawmkung lah ka o han tie hah Sawl ni a panue.
18 And the two of them made an agreement before the Lord: and David went on living in Horesh, and Jonathan went back to his house.
BAWIPA e hmalah lawk rei a kam roi. Devit teh kahrawng vah pou ao teh, Jonathan teh a ma im lah a ban.
19 Then the Ziphites came up to Gibeah to see Saul, and said, Is not David living secretly among us in the strong places in Horesh, in the hill of Hachilah to the south of the waste land?
Ziphnaw teh Sawl onae koe Gibeah kho lah a cei awh teh, Devit teh maimouh onae koe Jeshimon khopui akalah, Hakhilah monrui Horesh rapanim vah a kâhro.
20 So now, O king, have your soul's desire and come down, and we, for our part, will give him up into the king's hands.
Oe Siangpahrang na cei han na ngainae patetlah cet leih. Ahni hah nange kut dawk poe hane thaw teh kaimae thaw lah awm lawi seh atipouh.
21 And Saul said, The Lord's blessing will be yours, for you have had pity on me.
Sawl, BAWIPA ni yawhawi na poe seh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmanaw ni kai hah na pahren awh toe.
22 Go now, and take more steps, and see where he is living: for they say that he is expert in deceit.
Atu cet awh nateh, kârakueng awh. Ahni a kâhronae hmuen hah thoseh, la a hmu awh e hai thoseh ripdawng awh. Ahni teh a lung hroung a ang tie ka thai.
23 So take care to get knowledge of all the secret places where he is taking cover, and be certain to come back to me, and I will go with you: and without doubt, if he is anywhere in the land, I will get him, among all the families of Judah.
Hatdawkvah, ahni a kâhronae a hmuennaw hah kamcengcalah na radoung awh hnukkhu, kai koe bout na tho awh pawiteh, nangmouh hoi rei ka cei han. Ahni teh hote ram dawk awm pawiteh, Judahnaw a thong moikapap dawk ka hmu roeroe han telah ati.
24 And they went back and came to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the waste land of Maon, in the dry land south of the waste land.
Hahoi a thaw awh teh Sawl a cei hoehnahlan Ziph lah a cei awh. Hatei Devit hoi a taminaw teh, Jeshimon akalae tanghling dawk Moan kahrawng vah ao awh.
25 And Saul and his men went in search of him. And David had word of it, so he came down to the rock in the waste land of Maon. And Saul, hearing of this, went after David into the waste land of Maon.
Sawl teh a taminaw hoi rei a kamthaw awh teh, a tawng awh e hah Devit ni bout a thai toteh, talung rahak hoi a yawng teh, mon kahrawngum vah ao. Sawl ni bout a thai toteh, mon vah Devit bout a tawng.
26 And Saul and his men went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men went on the other: and David's purpose was to get away as quickly as possible, for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men were making a circle round David and his men in order to take them.
Sawl teh avanglae mon dawk thoseh, Devit hoi a taminaw teh avanglae mon dawk thoseh, a cei awh teh hlout hane a kâyawm awh navah, Sawl hoi a taminaw ni Devit hoi a taminaw man hanelah a kalup awh.
27 But a man came to Saul saying, Be quick and come; for the Philistines have made an attack on the land.
Hatnavah patoune a tho teh, Sawl koe karanglah tho leih, Filistinnaw ni ram hah a tuk awh toe telah a dei awh dawkvah,
28 So turning back from going after David, Saul went against the Philistines: so that place was named Sela-hammah-lekoth.
Devit pâleinae koehoi a ban teh, Filistin taminaw tuk hanelah a cei. Hatdawkvah, hote hmuen hah Selahhammahlekoth, kânguenae lungsong ati awh.
29 And from there, David went up and took cover in the safe place of En-gedi.
Devit teh hote hmuen koehoi a cei teh, Engedi ram rapanim vah ao.
