< 1 Samuel 18 >

1 And it came to pass, when he had ended speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
David in Saul akihoupi jouvin, lengpa chapa Jonathan toh akimuton, Jonathan in David angailut jeh chun, akikah lhona kintah’a kitepna khat semdin akigong lhontan ahi.
2 And Saul took him that day, and would not let him return to his father's house.
Hichenia kipat chun Saul in David akomah akikoi jingtan ainlamah akilesah kit tapon ahi.
3 And Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
Jonathan in David chu adei behseh jeh le ama akingailut banga angailut jeh in aitih a kikhenpi lou ding in, akikah lhon-ah kihahsel na khat asem in ahi.
4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his dress, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
Jonathan in hiche akihahsel na melchihnan, achunga kai asangkhol chol chu asut lhan asilpeh in, chule avonho, achemjam le athalpi chule akonggah geiyin David apetan ahi.
5 And David went forth; whithersoever Saul sent him he prospered; and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
Chutichun Saul in David chu asolna lam lamah achejin alolhing soh keiyin ahi. Hijeh chun Saul in asepaiho chunga gallamkai dingin atungin ahile, mijouse jong achung ah akipah cheh-un ahi.
6 And it came to pass as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambours, with joy, and with triangles.
Israel miten galjona ahin neijouvun inlama ahung kile kit-un, David in Philistine te ahintha jouvun, khopi jousea nupiho ahung potdoh’un, Saul lengpa ahung kimupiuvin ahi, numeihon khongcha le tumgingthei toh thon kipahtah in lampumin la asauvin ahi.
7 And the women answered [one another] as they played, and said, Saul hath smitten his thousands, And David his ten thousands.
Vailhun na’a alasah’u chu hiche ahi, “Saul in asang asangin athat in, David in asangsomasangsom in athat’e!” tin alachoiyun ahi.
8 And Saul was very wroth, and that saying was evil in his sight; and he said, They have ascribed to David ten thousands, but to me they have ascribed the thousands; and [what] is there more for him but the kingdom?
Hiche chun Saul nasatah in alunghan sah in, “Hiche hi ipiham? Amahon David achoisangun, sangsom athat’e atiuvin, kei sangkhat that in eiseijun. Abankit tengle lengin hin kitun kit taveh tao!” atin ahi.
9 And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
Hijeh chun, hichenia kipat chun, Saul in David chu thangthipna mitvet in avepan tan ahi.
10 And it came to pass the next day that an evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house, but David played with his hand, as on other days; and the spear was in Saul's hand.
Ajing nikho maman Pathen a kon in lhagao phalou Saul chungah ahung chukitin, insunga angol pen bangin apengin ahile, David in nidanga bangin, akhut in semjang asaijin ahi. Ahin Saul in akhut’ah tengcha akichoijin ahi.
11 And Saul cast the spear, and thought, I will smite David and the wall. But David turned away from him twice.
Chule hetmanlouvin, tengchan David chu akhon ahi, bangtoh khobeh ding agot ahin, ahinlah David in ana otdoh in ahi.
12 And Saul was afraid of David, because Jehovah was with him, and had departed from Saul.
Pathen in Saul adlhah’a David aumpi jeh chun Saul in Daivd chu akichalheh jengtan ahi.
13 And Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
Hijeh chun Saul in, David chu sepai sangkhat chung’a lamkai ding in akoiyin gamlatah in asolmang tan ahi. David in jong kitup tah in alamkaijin gal akonpi in ahi.
14 And David prospered in all his ways; and Jehovah was with him.
Chuin David Pakaiyin aumpi jeh chun imalam jouse’ah alolhing lheh jing in ahi.
15 And Saul saw that he prospered well, and he stood in awe of him.
David lolhing nathu teho Saul in ajahdoh kit phat in, akicha cheh cheh jengtan ahi.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, for he went out and came in before them.
David in nasatah’a, kituptah’a gal alamkai jeh in, Israelte jouse le Judah nam mite jousen jong David chu angailu un, akipapi lheh jeng un ahi.
17 And Saul said to David, Behold my eldest daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife; only be thou valiant for me, and fight Jehovah's battles. But Saul thought, My hand shall not be upon him, but the hand of the Philistines shall be upon him.
Nikhat hi Saul in David komah, “Kachanu alenjo nu Merab khu naji dia pedinga kigongsa kahi. Ahinlah amasan nangma Pakaiya dinga gal hang mong nahi photchenna neipen,” ati. Ajeh chu Saul’in alunggel’ah, “Keima tah’in katha sangin, Philistine tetoh kidou ding in kisol henlang hinthat doh-uleh,” tia angaito ahi.
18 And David said to Saul, Who am I? and what is my life, [or] my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?
David in, “Kei koi kahiya chule kainsung mite hi Israel a ipi hiya, keima lengpa tupa kahiding ham? Chule kappa insung mite jong ima ahipoi” ati.
19 And it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul's daughter should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.
Hijeh chun, Merab toh akichen nading phat ahung lhun phat in, Saul in, Adriel kiti Meholath mipi toh Merab chu akichensah tan ahi.
20 And Michal Saul's daughter loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing was right in his sight.
Ahinlah Saul chanu Michal chu David to akidei lhonin, hichu Saul in ajahdoh phat in akipah lheh jeng in ahi.
21 And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be upon him. And Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son-in-law a second time.
Hichun Saul in alunggel in, “Hiche Philistine te khutna athina dinga phat kijen chomkhat ahi,” atin ahinlah Saul anivei nan David koma chun, “Katupa nahi tei ding tai,” ati.
22 And Saul commanded his servants, Speak with David secretly, saying, Behold, the king has delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king's son-in-law.
Saul in avaipote koma chun, David jah’a aseidiu thu apen, “Lengpan nadei lheh jenge, chule keiho jong pha kasalheh jeng uve, hijeh chun lengpa tupa nahi ding pha nasah louham?” tia aseipeh din ahil’e.
23 And Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said, Is it a light thing in your eyes to be the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?
Saul avaipoten hiche thu hochu David koma aseijun ahile, David in, “Kei mivaicha, insung lhasam le mi nahsahmo, lengpa tupa-a iti kapan thei ding ham? Tin anadonbut in ahi.
24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner did David speak.
Chuin Saul mitehon hiche thu chu Saul koma asei doh phat un.
25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David: The king does not desire any dowry, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
Saul in David koma asei diu ahil kit’in, “Lengpan moulah man dia adei chu ahile amelmate chunga phulah nadinga Philistine te chep jakhat tilou adang imacha angeh poi tin seipeh un,” ati. Ahinla Saul chun David chu Philisine te khutna thisah tei agot ahi.
26 And his servants told David these words; and the thing was right in David's sight to be the king's son-in-law. And the days were not expired,
Saul lengpa thil ngeh chu David in ajahdoh phat in kipahtah in asangtai, anikho kitep alhun masang in,
27 when David arose and went, he and his men, and smote of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they delivered them in full to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter as wife.
David amale amite akipatdoh un, Philistine te mi jani agathat’un ahi. Hitichun David in lengpan angaichat chu asuhbulhit peh in, chep kitan chu agapetan ahi. Chuin Saul in achanu Michal chu David ji ding in apetan ahi.
28 And Saul saw and knew that Jehovah was with David; and Michal Saul's daughter loved him.
Pakaiyin David aumpi ti kichen tah in ahetan, chule achanu Michal angailut dan ahetan ahi.
29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David's enemy continually.
Saul in David chu agingcheh cheh jengtan, hijeh chun Saul chu ahinkho lhumkeiyin David din amelma ahijom jing jengtai.
30 And the princes of the Philistines went forth; and it came to pass, whenever they went forth, that David succeeded better than all the servants of Saul; and his name was much esteemed.
Philistine te sepaiten aphatseh leh ahin nokhum jing jengun, ahin David hatna achang jing jeng in, David min nasatah in akithang tan ahi.
