1 Samuel 18
1 And it happened that, when he had completed speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan adhered to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him like his own soul.
Devit ni Sawl koe lawk be a dei hnukkhu, Jonathan hringnae teh Devit hringnae hoi mekkâkuet. Hottelah Jonathan ni a hringnae a lungpataw e patetlah Devit hah a lung a pataw.
2 And Saul took him that day, and would not permit him to return to his father’s house.
Hot hnin hoi teh Sawl ni Devit a kaw teh a na pa im bout ban sak hoeh toe.
3 Then David and Jonathan formed a pact. For he loved him like his own soul.
Jonathan ni Devit hah amae hringnae a lungpataw e patetlah a lungpataw dawkvah, ahni hoi lawkkamnae a sak roi.
4 And Jonathan took off the coat that he was wearing, and he gave it to David, with the rest of his garments, even to his sword and bow, and even his belt.
Jonathan ni a kâkhu e a hni a rading teh Devit hah a poe. Tarantuknae puengcang, angki, tahloi, licung, taisawm pateng haiyah a poe.
5 Also, David went out to do everything whatsoever that Saul sent him to do, and he conducted himself prudently. And Saul set him over men of war. And he was acceptable in the eyes of the entire people, and most of all in the sight of the servants of Saul.
Sawl ni a patoun e pueng koe Devit ni a cei teh, kahawicalah a tawk teh tânae a hmu. Hatdawkvah, ransanaw kaukkung lah ao sak teh, ransanaw mithmu hoi Sawl e a sannaw mithmu vah ngai ka tho e lah ao.
6 Now when David returned, after he had struck down the Philistine, the women went out, from all the cities of Israel, leading the singing and dancing, rejoicing with timbrels and bells, so as to meet king Saul.
Devit ni Filistin tami a theinae koehoi a tho nah, Isarel napuinaw ni Sawl siangpahrang a dawn awh hanlah la a sak awh teh, lamtu lahoi ka cairing e ratoung, cecak tumkhawng awh teh, Isarel kho koehoi a tho awh.
7 And the women sang, as they played, saying, “Saul has struck down a thousand, and David ten thousand.”
Napuinaw ni Sawl thong touh, thong touh. Devit thong hra, thong hra a thei toe telah la a sak awh.
8 Then Saul became exceedingly angry, and this word was displeasing in his eyes. And he said: “They have given David ten thousand, and to me they gave only one thousand. What is left for him, except the kingdom itself?”
Hote lawk ni Sawl a lungkhuek sak teh, a lunghawihoeh. Ahnimouh ni Devit 10,000, kai teh 1,000 touh dueng na poe awh. Uknae hloilah a tawn e bangmouh a poe thai ati teh, hote lawk dawk puenghoi a lungkhuek.
9 Therefore, Saul did not regard David with a good eye, from that day and thereafter.
Hot hnin hoi Sawl ni Devit teh pou a patoup.
10 Then, on the next day, the evil spirit from God assailed Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David played with his hand, just as at every other time. And Saul held a lance in his hand.
Atangtho vah Cathut koehoi e muitha kathout ni Sawl e lathueng a pha teh, impui dawk lawk a dei. Devit ni ouk a kueng boi e patetlah ratoung a kueng. Sawl teh a kut dawk tahroe a sin.
11 And he threw it, thinking that he would be able to fix David to the wall. And David stepped aside twice, from before his face.
Devit hah tapang dawk khik kâbet lah ka tâkho han ati teh, Devit a tâkho eiteh ahnie hmalah hoi vai hni touh a roun thai.
12 And Saul feared David, because the Lord was with him, but he had withdrawn from Saul.
Hottelah BAWIPA ni Sawl koehoi a tâco teh Devit hoi rei ao dawkvah, Sawl ni Devit teh a taki.
13 Therefore, Saul sent him away from himself, and he made him tribune over one thousand men. And he entered and departed in the sight of the people.
Sawl ni a hmaitung hoi Devit a kampuen sak teh 1,000 touh kaukkung lah a hruek. Devit ni taminaw hmalah a tâco a kâen.
14 Also, David acted prudently in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
BAWIPA teh Devit hoi rei ao dawk a cei na tangkuem koe tânae a hmu.
15 And so, Saul saw that he was exceedingly prudent, and he began to be wary of him.
Sawl ni Devit ni tânae kalenpounge a hmu navah hoe a taki.
16 But all of Israel and Judah loved David. For he entered and departed before them.
Isarel hoi Judah miphunnaw ni kahawicalah a hrawi dawkvah, Devit a lungpataw awh.
17 And Saul said to David: “Behold, my elder daughter, Merab. I will give her to you as wife. Only be a valiant man, and fight the wars of the Lord.” Now Saul was considering within himself, saying, “Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hands of the Philistines be upon him.”
Sawl ni Devit koe khenhaw! ka canu kacue e Merab hah na yu lah na poe han, tarankahawilah awm. BAWIPA e taran maha tuk lah a atipouh. Kaie ka kut hah ahnie lathueng phat sak laipalah, Filistinnaw e kut maha ahni lathueng phat seh telah Sawl ni a pouk.
18 Then David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my life, and what is my father’s kinship within Israel, that I should be the son-in-law of the king?”
Devit ni kai teh Siangpahrang e cava lah ka o nahan bang patet e tami lah maw khuet ka o vaw. Ka hringnae hoi ka imthung hai Isarel dawk bangtelamaw a talue telah Sawl koe atipouh.
19 Then it happened that, at the time when Merab, the daughter of Saul, was to be given to David, she was given to Adriel, the Meholathite, as wife.
Sawl canu Merab hah Devit koe poe hane tueng akuep nah Meholath tami Adriel koevah a yu lah yo la a poe toe.
20 Now Michal, the other daughter of Saul, loved David. And this was reported to Saul, and it pleased him.
Sawl canu Mikhal ni Devit a lungpataw. Sawl koe a dei pouh awh teh, hote ni a lunghawi sak.
21 And Saul said, “I will give her to him, so that she may be a stumbling block to him, and so that the hand of the Philistines may be upon him.” And Saul said to David, “In two things, you shall be my son-in-law today.”
Sawl ni ka canu na poe han. Filistinnaw e a kut ahnie lathueng pha sak hanlah kâmannae tangkam lah ka o sak awh han. Sawl ni Devit koe nang teh ka cava lah na o toe telah apâhni lah bout a dei.
22 And Saul commanded his servants to speak to David privately, saying: “Behold, you are pleasing to the king, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, be the son-in-law of the king.”
Sawl ni a sannaw koe kâ a poe teh, Devit hoi lawk duem a kâdei awh. Siangpahrang teh nang koe a lung ahawi. A sannaw ni hai na lungpataw. Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang e cava lah awm lawih na ti awh han telah atipouh.
23 And the servants of Saul spoke all these words to the ears of David. And David said: “Does it seem a small matter to you, to be the son-in-law of the king? I am but a poor and unimportant man.”
Sawl e sannaw ni hote lawk Devit ni ka thai lah a dei awh. Tami ka roedeng ni, banglahai noutna hoeh e hah namaw, siangpahrang e cava lah khuek o rumram hanelah maw na pouk awh vaw telah ati.
24 And the servants reported to Saul, saying, “David has spoken words in this manner.”
Sawl e a sannaw ni, Devit ni he telah a dei telah Sawl koe a dei pouh awh nah,
25 Then Saul said, “Speak in this way to David: The king does not have need of any dowry, but only one hundred foreskins from the Philistine men, so that he may be vindicated from the enemies of the king.” So did Saul think to deliver David into the hands of the Philistines.
Sawl ni, Devit koe hettelah na dei pouh awh han, Siangpahrang ni a tarannaw a pathung navah Filistinnaw vuensom 100 touh hoeh e laipalah aphu alouke banghai ngai hoeh, ati telah dei pouh awh atipouh. Hatei Sawl ni Devit hah Filistinnaw e kut dawk due sak hanelah a pouk e doeh.
26 And when his servants had repeated to David the words that Saul had spoken, the word was pleasing in the eyes of David, so that he would become son-in-law of the king.
Hahoi, a sannaw ni hote lawk hah Devit koe a dei pouh awh toteh, Devit teh siangpahrang cava lah ao hane hah a lung ahawipoung. Hahoi atueng khoe e hnin teh loum hoeh rah.
27 And after a few days, David, rising up, went with the men who were under him, and he struck down two hundred men of the Philistines. And he brought their foreskins, and he counted them out for the king, so that he might be his son-in-law. And so, Saul gave to him his daughter Michal as wife.
Devit hoi a taminaw a thaw awh teh, Filistinnaw 200 touh a thei awh. Devit ni ahnimae vuensomnaw a sin teh, siangpahrang e cava lah ao nahanelah, ka kuepcalah siangpahrang koe a poe. Sawl ni hai a canu Mikhal hah a yu lah a poe.
28 And Saul saw and understood that the Lord was with David. And Michal, the daughter of Saul, loved him.
Devit koe Cathut ao tie kacaicalah Sawl ni a panue. Sawl e canu ni ahni teh a lungpataw.
29 And Saul began to fear David all the more. And Saul became the enemy of David, every day.
Sawl ni Devit hoe a taki teh, Sawl teh Devit e taran lah pou ao.
30 And the leaders of the Philistines departed. And from the beginning of their departure, David conducted himself more prudently than all the servants of Saul, and his name became exceedingly celebrated.
Filistin bawinaw teh a kamthaw awh. A kamthaw awh hnukkhu Devit teh Sawl e a sannaw hlak a kâhruetcuet dawkvah a min hoe a kamthang.
