1 Samuel 24
1 Now when Saul came back from fighting the Philistines, news was given him that David was in the waste land of En-gedi.
Saul in Philistine mite agasat-a ahung kile jouvin, David En-gedi gamthip mun’ah aluttai tithu aseipeh tauvin ahi.
2 Then Saul took three thousand of the best men out of all Israel, and went in search of David and his men on the rocks of the mountain goats.
Hijeh chun Saul in Israel mite jousea konin galsat them cheh mi sangthum akilhen doh’in David le amite holding in gam-kelcha umna songkol lang’ah aga hol tauvin ahi.
3 And on the way he came to a place where sheep were kept, where there was a hollow in the rock; and Saul went in for a private purpose. Now David and his men were in the deepest part of the hollow.
Saul chu ahunga ahile lampia kelngoi honlah khat agatoh khan, hiche laiya chun songkohom khat aumin, hikoma chu chomkhat kicholdo din aluttai, hiche songko sunga adan sungnung lang ma ma-a chu David le aloite kisella uma ahi.
4 And David's men said to him, Now is the time when the Lord says to you, I will give up your hater into your hands to do with him whatever seems good to you. Then David, getting up, took the skirt of Saul's robe in his hand, cutting off the end of it without his knowledge.
David aloihon ajah a guhthimin, “Tuhi nang dia phat kijen petcha ahi! Tunia hi Pakaiyin asei, ‘Keiman namel mapa chu nakhut’a kapeh doha, nangman naphatsah lamlama nabol ding ahi.’tia asei nikho chu tunia hi hung lhunga ahitai,” atiuve. Hijeh chun David jong akipatdoh in, kangchan akithol thol’in, Saul sangkhol chol mong chu aga-at tan peh tan ahi.
5 And later, David was full of regret for cutting off Saul's skirt.
Ahin David in Saul sangkhol chol mong chu aga-at tan chu alungsunga nommo asan ahi.
6 And David said to his men, Before the Lord, never let it be said that my hand was lifted up against my lord, the man of the Lord's selection, for the Lord's holy oil has been put on him.
Hijeh chun amite jah’a, “Pakaiyin ahet ahi, hiche hi kanabol louding dol ahi, ajeh chu amahi ka pakai le kaleng ahi. Pakaiyin adeilou, ka Pakai le ka lengpa chunga hiche kabol hi alhendohsa le athaonu doudal kahi,” atin ahi.
7 So with these words David kept his servants back, and did not let them make an attack on Saul. And Saul got up and went on his way.
Hijeh chun David in a sepaite chu atuhtang nah nah in, Saul chu atha sah tapon ahi. Saul athouvin songko adalha a, alampi’ah akiche phat- in,
8 And after that David came out of the hollow rock, and crying after Saul said, My lord the king. And when Saul gave a look back, David went down on his face and gave him honour.
David ahung potdoh'in anungjuiyin asamin, “Ka pakai le lengpa!” atileh Saul ahung kihei phat’in ama jabolnan David tol’a abohkhup in chibai aboh in ahi.
9 And David said to Saul, Why do you give any attention to those who say that it is my desire to do you wrong?
Chule, hitin Saul jah’a asamin, “Ipibolla nangin mipiho thusei na ngaiya, keihin nang chu kasuhgenthei dana nagel ham?
10 Look! you have seen today how the Lord gave you up into my hands even now in the hollow of the rocks: and some would have had me put you to death, but I had pity on you: for I said, Never will my hand be lifted up against my lord, who has been marked with the holy oil.
Tuni nikhotah jeng’a jong nangman namit tah in namun ahi, hichu atahbeh ahi. Ajeh chu Pakai in kei khotona noiyah songko sung jenga jong nakoijin ahi. Kamiteho phabep khat in katha ding hitam tia eidohuva, kana noplou ahi. Ipijeh inem itileh, ‘keiman ka lengpa sugenthei louding kahi-amahi Pakai thaonu sa ahi,’
11 And see, my father, see the skirt of your robe in my hand: for the fact that I took off the skirt of your robe and did not put you to death is witness that I have no evil purpose, and I have done you no wrong, though you are waiting for my life to take it.
Ven kapa, kakhutna ipi kachoi em? na sangkholchol among kachelhah chu bou kachoi ahibouve, nathat pong kate. Nasugenthei pong kate ti vetsahna’a keiman nangma kasuhgenthei lou ding chule nangin thading in nei dal le le jong lechun nachunga kachonset lou ding ahi,” ati.
12 May the Lord be judge between me and you, and may the Lord give me my rights against you, but my hand will never be lifted up against you.
“Pathen chu eini kaha ahetoh, athutan ahi. Ijemtia kei chunga nabolla ahile Pathen in gotna napeh ding ahi, ahinlah ken vang nang kasuhgenthei lou ding ahi.
13 There is an old saying, From the evil-doer comes evil: but my hand will never be lifted up against you.
Thuchih luiyin khat in, ‘Miphalou hoa konin, thil phalou tohdoh in aume,’ ati. Hijeh chun nang dounan itihchan hijongle kakhut kalap louding ahi.
14 After whom has the king of Israel come out? for whom are you searching? for a dead dog, an insect.
Israel lengpa chu koipen nunga hung hija, koipen thunung nahin dal mong mong ham? Uicha thisa khat tou ham, uili khattou nung dal nahim?
15 So let the Lord be judge, and give a decision between me and you, and see and give support to my cause, and keep me from falling into your hands.
Hijeh chu Pakai chu thutan in pang henlang, keile nang kikah’ah thutan pa hijing jeng hen,” ati.
16 Now when David had said these words to Saul, Saul said, Is this your voice, David, my son? And Saul was overcome with weeping.
Chuin David in aseiding jouse asei jou phatin, Saul in ahin donbut in, “Thu hin sei a chu chapa David mong mong nahi hinam?” atin akap pantan ahi.
17 And he said to David, You are right and I am wrong: for you have given me back good, but I have given you evil.
Chule David koma aseiyin, “Nang hi kei sangin nadih e, ajeh chu keiman nachunga thilphalou jeng kabollin ahin nangman vang thilpha jeng in nei lethuh jing jenge,” atitai.
18 And you have made clear to me how good you have been to me today: because, when the Lord gave me up into your hands, you did not put me to death.
“Henge, nangman hepina dihtah in tunin nei ngailun, nei tha theina ding laitah a jong neithat pon ahi.
19 If a man comes across his hater, will he let him get away safe? so may you be rewarded by the Lord for what you have done for me today.
Hitobang hi mihem khat’in amelma pa ato khah’a ahile, damsella alhadoh mong mong ding hinam? Hijeh chun tunia kei dinga thilpha naboldoh jeh in, Pakaiyin thilpha nabolpeh teitei hen.
20 And now I am certain that you will be king, and that the kingdom of Israel will be made strong under your authority.
Chule tun keiman kichentah in kahetai, nangma Israelte leng nahung hitei tei ding ahi.
21 So give me your oath by the Lord, that you will not put an end to my seed after me or let my name be cut off from my father's family.
Hijeh chun tunin Pakai minin kahenga kitep’in, ‘Kathi nungle kainsung jong na hinghoiya, kakhanggui le kachilhah jong nei hoi peh teijin!” ati.
22 And David gave Saul his oath. And Saul went back to his house; but David and his men went up to their safe place.
Chuin David jong Saul koma akihahsel in, hichun Saul jong inlam ajon tan; David le asepai chengse akulpiu muna akaltou tauvin ahi.
