< Kings I 19 >

1 And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, to kill David.
Devit thei hanelah, Sawl ni a capa Jonathan hoi a sannaw koe a dei pouh. Hatei Sawl capa Jonathan ni Devit lung a patawpoung.
2 And Jonathan, Saul's son, loved David much: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul seeks to kill you: take heed to yourself therefore to-morrow morning, and hide yourself, and dwell in secret.
Jonathan ni Devit koe, Apa Sawl ni na thei hane a kâcai. Hatdawkvah amom totouh kâhruetcuet, soumtinae koe kâhrawk.
3 And I will go forth, and stand near my father in the field where you shall be, and I will speak concerning you to my father; and I will see what his answer may be, and I will tell you.
Ka cei vaiteh na onae law vah apa e ateng ka kangdue han. Nange kong apa hoi kâpan roi han. Ka thai e lawk nang koe ka dei han telah kâhruetcuetnae a poe.
4 And Jonathan spoke favourably concerning David to Saul his father, and said to him, Let not the king sin against your servant David, for he has not sinned against you, and his deeds [are] very good.
Jonathan ni a na pa Sawl koe Devit hah a oup teh, ahni koe siangpahrang ni a san Devit koelah yonnae rumram lah sak hanh naseh. Ahni ni nang koe yonnae sak hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a sak e hnonaw nang hane aphu hroung ao.
5 And he put his life in his hand, and struck the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a great deliverance; and all Israel saw, and rejoined: why then do you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?
Amae hringnae pasai laipalah, Filistin tami hah a thei. BAWIPA ni kalenpounge tânae Isarelnaw koe a pha sak e na hmu teh na lung ahawi. Hatdawkvah, kayonhoehe a thipaling yon kaawm hoeh e Devit khuet na thei han vaw telah Sawl koe atipouh.
6 And Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore, saying, [As] the Lord lives, he shall not die.
Sawl ni Jonathan dei e lawk hah a ngai. Sawl ni BAWIPA min dawk thoe a kâbo teh ahni teh thet mahoeh telah a ti.
7 And Jonathan called David, and told him all these words; and Jonathan brought David in to Saul, and he was before him as in former times.
Jonathan ni Devit a kaw teh, hote lawknaw a dei pouh hnukkhu, Devit teh Sawl koe a hrawi teh, ahmoun e patetlah ahni koe bout ao.
8 And there was again war against Saul; and David did valiantly, and fought against the Philistines, and struck them with a very great slaughter, and they fled from before him.
Tarankâtuknae bout ao teh, Devit ni Filistinnaw hoi kâtuk hanelah a cei teh tami moikapap a thei.
9 And an evil spirit from God was upon Saul, and he was resting in his house, and a spear [was] in his hand, and David was playing on the harp with his hands.
Sawl ni a im dawk tahroe hoi a tahung nah BAWIPA koehoi e muitha kathout ni a tho sin. Devit ni ratoung a kueng pouh.
10 And Saul sought to strike David with the spear; and David withdrew [suddenly] from the presence of Saul; and he drove the spear into the wall; and David retreated and escaped.
Sawl ni tapang dawk khik kâbet lah a thut hanelah a noe. Hatei Sawl e hmalah hoi a roun thai teh, tahroe tapang dawk moncawm a um. Hottelah Devit a yawng teh hote karum dawk a hlout.
11 And it came to pass in that night, that Saul sent messengers to the house of David to watch him, in order to kill him in the morning; and Melchol David's wife told him, saying, Unless you save your life this night, to-morrow you shall be slain.
Sawl ni Devit hah im vah pawp vaiteh, thei hanelah amom vah patounenaw a patoun, Devit e a yu Mikhal ni, atu tangmin na hringnae na khenyawn hoehpawiteh, tangtho vah na thei awh han telah atipouh.
12 So Melchol lets David down by the window, and he departed, and fled, and escaped.
Mikhal ni Devit hah hlalangaw dawk hoi a kumsak teh Devit a kâran teh a hlout.
13 And Melchol took images, and laid them on the bed, and she put the liver of a goat by his head, and covered them with clothes.
Mikhal ni meikaphawk hah a la teh, ikhun dawk a i sak a lû koe lah hmae muen e bawilakhung a hruek teh hni a khu.
14 And Saul sent messengers to take David; and they say that he is sick.
Devit man hanelah Sawl ni patounenaw a patoun nah Mikhal ni a tak a pataw atipouh.
15 And he sends to David, saying, Bring him to me on the bed, that I may kill him.
Sawl ni Devit khet hanelah patounenaw a patoun teh ka thei thai nahan a ikhun hoi kâ ka yawn awh atipouh.
16 And the messengers come, and, behold, the images [were] on the bed, and the goat's liver at his head.
Patounenaw a kâen awh navah a ikhun dawk meikaphawk a lû koelah hmae muen ka lahoung e a hmu awh.
17 And Saul said to Melchol, Why have you thus deceived me, and suffered my enemy to depart, and he has escaped? and Melchol said to Saul, He said, let me go, and if not, I will kill you.
Sawl ni Mikhal koevah kai hah bangkongmaw hete lah na dum, a hlout nahanelah ka taran na tâco sak atipouh. Mikhal ni ahni ni kai hanelah kai na cetsak haw, nahoeh pawiteh na thei han telah ati telah Sawl koe a dei pouh.
18 So David fled, and escaped, and comes to Samuel to Armathaim, and tells him all that Saul had done to him: and Samuel and David went, and lived in Navath in Rama.
Devit teh yout a yawng teh a hlout. Ramah kho Samuel koe a pha. Ahni koe Sawl ni a sak e pueng a dei pouh. Samuel hoi a cei roi teh Naioth vah ao.
19 And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David [is] in Navath in Rama.
Sawl koe Devit teh Ramah kho hoi Naioth hmuen koe ao telah a dei pouh.
20 And Saul sent messengers to take David, and they saw the assembly of the prophets, and Samuel stood [as] appointed over them; and the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they prophesy.
Devit man hanelah Sawl ni a patounenaw bout a patoun, lawk ka dei e profet hu touh dueng hah a hmu awh. Samuel a kangdue teh, profetnaw a hrawi nah Cathut e Muitha ni Sawl e patounenaw lathueng a pha pouh teh, ahnimouh hai profet lawk a dei awh.
21 And it was told Saul, and he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied: and Saul sent again a third set of messengers, and they also prophesied.
Ahnimouh ni hote a kong hah Sawl koe a dei pouh awh navah, Sawl ni alouke a patounenaw bout a patoun. Ahnimouh hai profet lawk a dei awh. Sawl ni apâthum lah patounenaw bout a patoun nah, ahnimouh hai profet lawk a dei awh.
22 And Saul was very angry, and went himself also to Armathaim, and he comes as far as the well of the threshing floor that is in Sephi; and he asked and said, Where [are] Samuel and David? And they said, Behold, in Navath in Rama.
Sawl ama hai Ramah kho a cei teh, Seku e tuiim kalen poung koe a pha nah, Samuel hoi Devit na maw ao telah a pacei nah Ramah kho Naioth hmuen koe ao telah tami buet touh ni a dei pouh.
23 And he went thence to Navath in Rama: and there came the Spirit of God upon him also, and he went on prophesying till he came to Navath in Rama.
Sawl teh Ramah kho Naioth hmuen koe lah a cei. Cathut e Muitha ahnie lathueng vah a pha van, a cei laihoi profet lawk Ramah kho hoi Naioth hmuen koe a pha totouh a dei.
24 And he took off his clothes, and prophesied before them; and lay down naked all that day and all that night: therefore they said, [Is] Saul also amongst the prophets?
A khohna e rading teh, Samuel e a hmalah profet lawk a dei. Karum khodai hote hnin dawk caici lah a i. Hatdawkvah, ahnimouh ni Sawl hai profetnaw koe ka bawk e namaw telah ati awh.
