Kings I 30
1 And it came to pass when David and his men had entered Sekelac on the third day, that Amalec had made an incursion upon the south, and upon Sekelac, and smitten Sekelac, and burnt it with fire.
David neh a hlang rhoek loh a thum hnin ah Ziklaga pha uh. Te vaengah Amalek loh tuithim neh Ziklag ah cu uh. Te phoeiah Ziklag tea tloek uh tih hmai neha hoeh uh.
2 And as to the women and all things that were in it, great and small, they slew neither man nor woman, but carried them captives, and went on their way.
Te vaengah a khuikah huta rhoek te tanoe kangham laa kol uh. Hlang tah a duek sak muehlaa vai uh tih a longpuei ah cet uh.
3 And David and his men came into the city, and, behold, it was burnt with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters were carried captive.
Tedae David neh a hlang rhoek te khopuei la ha pawk uh vaengah hmai ah tarha ana hoeh tih a yuu a canu neha oila te ana sol pauh.
4 And David and his men lifted up their voice, and wept till there was no longer any power within them to weep.
Te dongah David neh amah taengkah pilnam loh a ola huel tih rhap uh. Te vaengah a khuikah thaduenga bawt hil rhap uh.
5 And both the wives of David were carried captive, Achinaam, the Jezraelitess, and Abigaia the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
David yuu rhoi Jezreel Ahinoam neh Karmel Nabal yuu Abigal khaw a khuen uh.
6 And David was greatly distressed, because the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, each for his sons and his daughters: but David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.
Pilnam pum loh amah ca amah ca ham neh a tanu rhoek hama hinglu te rhipa phaep uh. Te dongah amah te dae ham te pilnam loh a thui coeng dongah David loh puen a cak tangkik. Tedae David tah BOEIPA a Pathen dongah ni a pangtung.
7 And David said to Abiathar the priest the son of Achimelech, Bring near the ephod.
Te phoeiah David loh Ahimelek capa, khosoih Abiathar taengah, “Hnisui te kai taengla hang khuen dae,” a ti nah tih Abiathar loh hnisui te David taenglaa khuen pah.
8 And David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? and he said to him, Pursue, for thou shalt surely overtake them, and thou shalt surely rescue [the captives].
David loh BOEIPA tea dawt tih, “Caem hnukah he ka hloem koinih ka kae aya?,” a ti nah hatah, “Hloem, na kae rhoe na kae vetih na huul rhoe na huul bitni,” a ti nah.
9 So David went, he an the six hundred men with him, an they come as far as the brook Bosor, and the superfluous ones stopped.
Te dongah David neh amah taengkah hlang ya rhuk loh cet uh. Tedae Besor soklonga pha uh vaengah aka coih rhoek loh uelh uh.
10 And he pursued them with four hundred men; and there remained behind two hundred men, who tarried on the other side of the brook Bosor.
Te dongah David amah neh hlang ya li loh a hloem uh dae Besor soklonga poeng uh lamkah aka tawn hlang yahnih tah paa uh.
11 And they find an Egyptian in the field, and they take him, and bring him to David; and they gave him bread and he ate, and they caused him to drink water.
Te vaengah lohma li ah Egypt hlang te a hmuh uh tih David taenglaa khuen uh. Te phoeiah anih te buha paek uh tiha caak phoeiah tuia tul uh.
12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and he ate, and his spirit was restored in him; for he had not eaten bread, and had not drunk water three days and three nights.
Te phoeiah anih te thaidae thaidae phaklung pakhat neh, misur rhae panita paek uh. Anih te khothaih hninthum neh khoyin hninthum buh ca pawt tih tuia ok pawt dongah tekah te a caak daengah ni a dawna sai pah pueng.
13 And David said to him, Whose art thou? and whence art thou? and the young man the Egyptian said, I am the servant of an Amalekite; and my master left me, because I was taken ill three days ago.
Anih te David loh, “Nang ulae? Nang me lamkah lae?” a ti nah vaengah, “Kai tah Amalek hlang kah sal, Egypt ca dae ni, hnin thum ka tloh dongah ka boei loh n'hnoo.
14 And we made an incursion on the south of the Chelethite, and on the parts of Judea, and on the south of Chelub, and we burnt Sekelac with fire.
Kaimih loh Kerethi tuithim, Judah neh Kaleb tuithim te ka muk uh tih Ziklag te hmai neh ka hoeh uh,” a ti nah.
15 And David said to him, Wilt thou bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear now to me by God, that thou wilt not kill me, and that thou wilt not deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down upon this troop.
Te dongah anih te David loh, “Tekah caem taengla kai nan suntlak puei aya?” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Kai nan duek sak ham neh ka boeipa kut ah kai nan det pawt ham mah, Pathen taengah kai hamla toemngam lamtah nang te caem taengla kan suntlak puei bitni,” a ti nah.
16 So be brought him down thither, and behold, they [were] scattered abroad upon the surface of the whole land, eating and drinking, and feasting by [reason of] all the great spoils which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Juda.
Tedae aniha suntlak vaengah tah Philisti kho lamkah neh Judah kho lamkah kutbuem boeih te muepa loh uh coeng dongah diklai hman boeih ah aka ca, aka o neh aka lam rhoek te khawk ana yaal uh.
17 And David came upon them, and smote them from the morning till the evening, and on the next day; and not one of them escaped, except four hundred young men, who were mounted on camels, and fled.
Amih te David loh hlaemhmah lamloh a vuen kholaeh duelaa ngawn. Te dongah amih lamkah hlang tah loeih pawh. Kalauk dongah aka ngol camoe hlang ya li bueng rhaelrham uh.
18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and he rescued both his wives.
Te daengah Amalek kah a loh rhoek te David loh boeiha lat tih a yuu rhoi te khaw David loh a lat.
19 And nothing was wanting to them of great or small, either of the spoils, or the sons and daughters, or anything that they had taken of theirs; and David recovered all.
Te vaengah amih te tanoe kangham, capa, canu khaw kutbuem khaw a hmaai moenih. Amih lamkaha loh uh boeih te David loh boeiha mael puei.
20 And he took all the flocks, and the herds, and led them away before the spoils: and it was said of these spoils, These [are] the spoils of David.
Te vaengah David loh boiva neh saelhung te boeiha loh tih a hmai laa vai uh. Te vaengah, “Boiva he David kah kutbuem ni he,” a ti uh.
21 And David comes to the two hundred men who were left behind that they should not follow after David, and he had caused them to remain by the brook of Bosor; and they came forth to meet David, and to meet his people with him: and David drew near to the people, and they asked him how he did.
Te vaengah David taengla hlang yahnih ha pawk tih a tawn doela David hnuk ah cet uh. Amih tah Besor soklong aha om sak tih David doe ham neh anih taengkah pilnam te doe hamla ha pawk uh. Te dongah David te pilnam taengla thoeih tih amih te sading laa voek.
22 Then every ill-disposed and bad man of the soldiers who had gone with David, answered and said, Because they did not pursue together with us, we will not give them of the spoils which we have recovered, only let each one lead away with him his wife and his children, and let them return.
Tedae David hnuk aka vai hlang rhoek khuikah boethae neh aka muen hlang boeih loh a doo uh vaengah, “Kai taengah aka pongpa pawt tah kutbuem n'lat he amih taengla pae boel saeh. A yuu a ca rhoek te tah rhip hmaithawn uh saeh lamtah cet uh saeh,” a ti uh.
23 And David said, Ye shall not do so, after the Lord has delivered [the enemy] to us, and guarded us, and the Lord has delivered into our hands the troop that came against u.
Tedae David loh, “Ka manuca rhoek, te tlam te saii uh boeh. BOEIPA loh mamih taengla m'paek coeng te tah mamih loh ngaithuen sih. Te dongah ni mamih aka cuuk thil caem te mamih kut ah m'paek.
24 And who will hearken to these your words? for they are not inferior to us; for according to the portion of him that went down to the battle, so shall be the portion of him that abides with the baggage; they shall share alike.
Caemtloek la aka suntla rhoek kah hamsum la na ti ol te u long a hnatun eh? Te dongah hnopai taengah aka om rhoek khaw hamsum la yen tael uh thae saeh,” a ti nah.
25 And it came to pass from that day forward, that it became an ordinance and a custom in Israel until this day.
Te dongah te khohnin lamkaha so hang ah tah tekah ol te oltlueh neh laitloeknah laa saii tih tihnin due Israel hama om pah.
26 And David came to Sekelac, and sent of the spoils to the elders of Juda, and to his friends, saying, Behold [some] of the spoils of the enemies of the Lord;
David te Ziklag laa pha vaengah kutbuem te Judah kah a hamca rhoek taeng neh a hui rhoek taenglaa pat tih, “BOEIPA thunkha rhoek kah kutbuem khui lamkah nangmih ham yoethennah ni he ne,” a ti nah.
