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.
Hnin thum touh a loum hnukkhu, Devit hoi a taminaw teh Ziklag kho a pha awh navah, Amaleknaw ni akalae ram hoi Ziklag kho hah a tuk awh. Ziklag kho a thei awh teh, hmai yo la a sawi awh toe.
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.
Kho thung kaawm e napui camo matawng buet touh hai thet laipalah san lah koung a hrawi awh toe.
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.
Devit hoi a taminaw teh hote kho dawk a pha awh navah, khenhaw! kho hmai a sawi awh teh, a yunaw, a canu capanaw hai san lah koung a ceikhai awh toe ti e a hmu navah,
4 And David and his men lifted up their voice, and wept till there was no longer any power within them to weep.
thouk a ka awh teh tha baw ditouh thouk a ka awh.
5 And both the wives of David were carried captive, Achinaam, the Jezraelitess, and Abigaia the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Devit e yu roi, Jezreel tami Ahinoam hoi Karmel tami Nabal yu Abigail hai a ceikhai awh toe.
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.
Devit teh puenghoi a lungrei a thai. Taminaw hai a lungrei a thai awh teh, Devit hah talung hoi dei hanelah a dei awh. Hatei, Devit teh BAWIPA doeh a kâuep.
7 And David said to Abiathar the priest the son of Achimelech, Bring near the ephod.
Devit ni Ahimelek capa vaihma Abiathar koe Ephod hah pahren lahoi na lat pouh haw atipouh. Abiathar ni Ephod hah Devit koe a thokhai.
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].
Devit ni ahnimanaw hah ka pâlei awh pawiteh, ka pha awh han vaimoe telah BAWIPA koe a pacei. Ahni ni pâlei loe na pha mingming han, abuemlahoi koung na rungngang han doeh atipouh.
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.
Hatdawkvah, Devit hoi a taminaw 600 touh ni a cei awh teh, Besor palang a pha awh navah, a tangawn teh hawvah a la o awh.
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.
Devit hoi tami 400 touh ni a pâlei awh.
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.
Hahoi a yon dawk Izip tami buet touh a hmu awh teh, Devit koe a thokhai awh. Vaiyei a poe awh teh a ca, tui hai a nei sak awh.
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.
Hahoi thaibunglung paw phen buet touh, misurpaw phen kahni touh a poe awh. Ahni ni a ca teh a tha bout ao. Hnin thum touh thung catnet laipalah kahai lah ao toe.
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.
Devit ni ahni koe nang teh api hoi maw na kâkuet, nâhoi maw na tho telah a pacei. Ahni ni kai teh, Amaleknaw koe san lah kaawm e Izip tami doeh, hnin thum touh hoehnahlan ka pataw dawkvah, ka bawipa ni na cei takhai.
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.
Khereth ram akalah Judah ram akalah, Kalep ram akalah ka tuk awh teh, Ziklag kho hah hmai ka sawi awh toe.
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.
Devit ni ahnimanaw onae koe lam na patue thai han maw atipouh navah, ahni ni kai hah na thei hoeh nahan ka bawipa koe na poe hoe nahan, Cathut koe lawkkam hoi thoekâbo ei, hat pawiteh doeh ahnimouh onae koe lam na patue han ati e patetlah Devit ni thoe a kâbo.
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.
Hote camo ni lamthung a patue teh hawvah Devit a pha navah, ahnimanaw teh Filistin ram hoi Judah ram e hnopainaw dawkvah a canei awh teh a lamtu awh teh, talai dawk a kâyat awh.
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.
Devit ni tangmin hoi a tangtho tangmin totouh a thei teh, kalauk hoi ka yawng e thoundoun 400 touh hloilah tami buet touh hai hlout hoeh.
18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and he rescued both his wives.
Ameleknaw ni a lawp e pueng Devit ni bout a la teh, a yu roi hoi bout a hloutkhai.
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.
Tami kacue kanaw canu capa hnopai lawp lah kaawm e pueng buet touh boehai pek laipalah, Devit ni koung bout a la.
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.
Hahoi Devit ni tuhu hoi maitohu naw hah a la teh, saring alouknaw hmalah a khoum teh, hetnaw teh Devit doeh ati awh.
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.
Hahoi tami 200 touh a tâwn awh teh, Devit hnuk a kâbang thai awh hoeh dawkvah, Besor palang vah ao saknae koe Devit teh bout a pha. Ahnimouh teh Devit hoi a thokhaienaw dawn hanelah a tâco awh. Devit ahnimouh koe a pha toteh kut a man awh.
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.
Hatnavah, Devit hoi rei ka cet e taminaw thung dawk e tamikathoutnaw ni, ahnimouh teh maimouh hoi rei a cei awh van hoeh dawkvah, maimouh ni pang awh e hnopai thung dawk, amamae yuca hloilah bang hno hai poe mahoeh. Amamae yucanaw hah lat awh nateh, cet awh naseh atipouh awh.
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.
Devit ni hmaunawnghanaw, maimouh ni tuk awh e naw hah maimae kut dawk na ka poe e BAWIPA ni na poe e hnopainaw hah hottelah tet awh hanh.
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.
Hete hno dawk nangmae lawk hah apinimaw a tarawi han. Taran tuknae koe ka cet e ni a pang e patetlah hnopai karingkungnaw ni hai pang vah naseh. Suekâvan lah reirei pang van naseh telah a ti.
25 And it came to pass from that day forward, that it became an ordinance and a custom in Israel until this day.
Hat hnin hoiyah Isarel miphunnaw hanelah, hottelah e phunglam hoi kâlawk teh a sak awh.
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;
Devit ni Ziklag kho bout a pha toteh, hetheh BAWIPA e taran kut dawk hoi e hnonaw doeh. Poehno lah na patawn awh telah lawk a thui teh,
