Kings I 21
1 And David comes to Nomba to Abimelech the priest: and Abimelech was amazed at meeting him, and said to him, Why [are] you alone, and nobody with you?
Devit teh Nob kho e vaihma Ahimelek koevah a pha. Ahimelek ni Devit a hmu navah a kalue teh ahni koe nama dueng maw na hui buet touh hai na tawn hoeh namaw telah atipouh.
2 And David said to the priest, The king gave me a command today, and said to me, Let no one know the matter on which I send you, an concerning which I have charged you: and I have charged my servants [to be] in the place that is called, The faithfulness of God, Phellani Maemoni.
Devit ni vaihma Ahimelek koe, siangpahrang ni kai koe thaw buet touh na poe. Tawk hane hoi kâ na poe e apinihai panuek sak hanh telah a dei. Hatdawkvah sannaw hie hmuen koe haw e hmuen koe na hruek pouh.
3 And now if there are under your hand five loaves, give into my hand what is ready.
Atuvah na kut dawk bangmaw kaawm. Vaiyei panga touh hoehpawiteh na tawn e pueng na poe telah atipouh.
4 And the priest answered David, and said, There are no common loaves under my hand, for I have none but holy loaves: if the young men have been kept at least from women, then they shall eat [them].
Vaihma ni Devit koe tami pueng ni ca thai e vaiyei ka kut dawk awm hoeh eiteh, sannaw ni napui koe ma na thoung awh pawiteh, kathounge vaiyei teh ao, atipouh.
5 And David answered the priest, and said to him, Yes, we have been kept from women for three days: when I came forth for the journey all the young men were purified; but this expedition is unclean, therefore it shall be sanctified this day because of my weapons.
Devit ni vaihma koe atu hnin thum touh thung teh, napui koehoi kathoung awh katang doeh. Ka tâco awh han nahai na sannaw e hnopai hai a thoung.
6 So Abimelech the priest gave him the show bread; for there were no loaves there, but only the presence loaves which had been removed from the presence of the Lord, in order that hot bread should be set on, on the day on which he took them.
Vaihma ni hmaitung e vaiyei hloilah alouke vaiyei ao hoeh dawkvah, kathounge vaiyei hah a poe. Hote hmaitung e vaiyei yueng lah vaiyei katha hruek hanelah BAWIPA hmaitung hoi yo la takhoe toe.
7 And there was there on that day one of Saul's servants detained before the Lord, and his name [was] Doec the Syrian, tending the mules of Saul.
Hot hnin dawk Sawl e a sannaw thung e tami buet touh BAWIPA hmalah ka tek e ao. A min teh Doeg doeh. Ahni teh Edom tami, Sawl e saring kakhoumkung thung dawk e kacue poung e lah o.
8 And David said to Abimelech, See if there is here under your hand spear or sword, for I have not brought in my hand my sword or my weapons, for the word of the king was urgent.
Devit ni Ahimelek koevah, tahroe thoseh tahloi thoseh, na tat hoeh na maw. Siangpahrang teh huerang a panki dawkvah, tahloi thoseh ka puengcang buet buet touh ka kut dawk ka sin mang hoeh telah atipouh.
9 And the priest said, Behold the sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you struck in the valley of Ela; and it is wrapt in a cloth: if you will take it, take it for yourself, for there is no other except it here. And David said, Behold, there is none like it; give it me.
Vaihma ni Filistin tami Goliath, Elah tanghling dawk na theinae tahloi hah, khenhaw! Ephod hnuklah hni hoi tangoung e sut ao. Na ngai pawiteh hot hah lat, hote hloilah alouke awm hoeh toe telah ati. Devit ni het patetlae tahloi phun awm hoeh, kai na poe telah atipouh.
10 And he gave it him; and David arose, and fled in that day from he presence of Saul: and David came to Anchus king of Geth.
Devit ni a thaw teh Sawl hmalah hoi a yawng teh, Gath siangpahrang Akhish koe a cei.
11 And the servants of Anchus said to him, [Is] not this David the king of the land? Did not the dancing women begin the son to him, saying, Saul has struck his thousand, and David his ten thousands?
Akhish e a sannaw ni ahni koevah, hete tami heh a ram dawk e siangpahrang Devit nahoehmaw, Sawl ni thong touh thong touh a thei teh, Devit ni thong hra, thong hra a thei telah lamtu lahoi a kong hah la lahoi a sak awh e nahoehmaw ati awh.
12 And David laid up the words in his heart, and was greatly afraid of Anchus king of Geth.
Devit ni hote lawk a lung thung a hruek teh, Gath siangpahrang Akhish teh a taki poung.
13 And he changed his appearance before him, and feigned himself a false character in that day; and drummed upon the doors of the city, and used extravagant gestures with his hands, and fell against the doors of the gate, and his spittle ran down upon his beard.
Hatdawkvah ahnimae hmalah a sakyoe e naw a kâthung teh hmaitung vah ka pathu patetlah a kâsak. Thonaw hah a takhawi teh a pâkhamuennaw dawk tamtui do do a lawi sak.
14 And Anchus said to his servants, Behold! you see the man [is] mad: why have you brought him in to me?
Akhish ni a sannaw koe, khenhaw! tamipathu tie na panue awh nahlangva, bangkong kai koe na thokhai awh.
15 [Am] I in lack of madmen, that you have brought him in to me to play the madman? He shall not come into the house.
Kai dawk ka pathu e panki teh ka hmalah ka pathu e a kamnue nahane lah maw nangmouh ni ka imthung na kâen sak awh han maw telah a sannaw koe atipouh.
