1 Samuel 20
1 And David fled from Naioth by Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity, and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeks my life?
David chu Ramah gam'a Naioth a konin ajamdoh’in, Jonathan kom ajonin, “Ipi kabol’a, Ipi kabol khel hitam? Itobang gitlouna ipi um’a napan tha dinga eihol le le ham?” ati.
2 And he said to him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, and not apprise me; and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.
Jonathan in, “Hichu dihlou ahi, nangma thipon nate, abol ding jouse thilneo hihen lang thil len hijongleh kei hetlouvin ima abolji poi, eihetsah jinai. Kapan hitobang thil hohi, kakoma aselguh louhel ding ahi,” tin ana nelkal in ahi.
3 And David swore again and again, and said, Thy father certainly knows that I have found favour in thy sight: and he has thought, Jonathan shall not know this, lest he be grieved; but truly [as] Jehovah liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.
Chuin David in Jonathan masang ah akihahsellin, “Napan iki golngai lhon hi kichentah’a ahetsoh kei ahi, hijeh chun amale ama akihouvin, Jonathan hetsah da tange, ipibolla alung kasuhnat ding ham? Ahinlah hingjing Pakai le nangma min pana kasei ahi keima le thina kikah hi kal khat seh bou uma ahi!” ati.
4 And Jonathan said to David, What thy soul may say, I will even do it for thee.
Jonathan in, “Ipi ti kakithopi thei ding ham neiseipeh in,” ati.
5 And David said to Jonathan, Behold, to-morrow is new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat; but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field until the third evening.
David in adonbut in, “Jing nikho hi lhathah kut ahin, lengpa to ankong umkhom dingdol kahi, ahin keima jing nikho tengle loulaiya kakisela hichea chu nithum chan na nilhah tokah’a kaumden ding ahi,” ati.
6 If thy father should actually miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city; for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
“Napan hoiya che ham tia nahin doh’a ahileh, Bethlehem ain’ah kumseh kilhaina bol dingin kakom ah phalna athum’in ache’e tin seipeh in,” ati.
7 If he say thus, It is well, — thy servant shall have peace; but if he be very wroth, be sure that evil is determined by him.
“Aman ‘Aphai!’ atia ahileh, thu anome ti nahet ding ahi. Ahinlah alung ahanna alung alhaso khah’a ahile, eithanom ahi ti nahet ding ahi.
8 Deal kindly then with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of Jehovah with thee; but if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?
Lungset tah in hiti chun neibolpeh in, thengsel’a kahenga Pakai ang’a nakitepna nit’in. amavang napa douna a themmo kahile nangmatah’in neithat jengin. Ahinlah nei joulhep hih beh in,” ati.
9 And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee; for, if I knew with certainty that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, would I not tell it thee?
Jonathan in, “Hitobang chu agel in geldan, kapan chutobang’a nangma tha nading lunggel neocha hijongle anei mong’a ahile, nang kahin mahetsah tei ding ahi,” ati.
10 Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if thy father answer thee roughly?
Chuin David in, “Napa alunghang’e ahiloule alunghang poi tichu ken iti kahet thei ding ham?” tin adong in ahi.
11 And Jonathan said to David, Come and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.
Jonathan in adonbut’in, “Hungin loulai langa khun gapotdoh hite,” ati. Chule polam’ah akijotdoh khom lhonin ahi.
12 And Jonathan said to David, Jehovah, God of Israel, when I sound my father about this time to-morrow, [or] the next day, and behold, there be good toward David, and I then send not to thee, and apprise thee of it,
Chuti chun Jonathan in David komah, “Pakai Israel Pathen chu ahettohsah hijeng hen! Keiman jing tuphat don ahilouleh nithum joutengle, kappa dongin katin, nachung alungdam nah le thu kahin thot ding,
13 Jehovah do so and much more to Jonathan. Should it please my father [to do] thee evil, then I will apprise thee of it, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace; and Jehovah be with thee, as he has been with my father.
“Ahinlah ijem tia kappa alunghan’a nangma tha tei ding nagot’a, nangma na hindohtei tei nadinga keiman nahenga kaseipeh masat’a kasolmang lou poupouva ahileh Pakaiyin Jonathan kiti keima hi eibolsejo hen ahilou jongle eithat jeng hen. Pakaiyin kapa ana umpi bangin nang jong naumpi hen,” ati.
14 And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of Jehovah, that I die not,
“Neingailut monga ahileh, kahinkho aumlai sungsen Pakai ngailutna sangtah in nei ngailun. Ahinlah kathia ahileh,
15 but thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever, no, not when Jehovah cuts off the enemies of David, every one from the face of the earth.
Kainsung mite din tahsan umtah ngailutna sangtah in hin ngailun chule Pakaiyin nagalmite jouse jong leiset a konin suhmang gamkei hen,” ati.
16 And Jonathan made [a covenant] with the house of David, [saying, ] Let Jehovah even require [it] at the hand of David's enemies!
Hijeh chun Jonathan in David toh kitepna khat asemin, “Pakaiyin nagalmite jouse asugam keihen!” ati.
17 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, by the love he had for him, for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
Chule Jonathan in David chu ama aki ngailut bang banga angailut jeh chun, David in jong angailut din akitepsah kit tan ahi.
18 And Jonathan said to him, To-morrow is the new moon; and thou wilt be missed, for thy seat will be empty;
Chuin Jonathan in, “Jing nikho le lhathah kut kimang ding ahin, natouna dokhang a-on jeh’a nakiholmo ding ahi,” ati.
19 but on the third day thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself on the day of the business, and abide by the stone Ezel.
“Athaini nilhah lam leh, tumasanga nakiselji na mun songpi pang mama’a chun che in lang gakisel tan.
20 And I will shoot three arrows on the side of it, as though I shot at a mark.
Chule keima kahungdoh’a doikhat neibanga, thalchang thum hiche panga chu kahinkap ding ahi,” ati.
21 And behold, I will send the lad, [saying, ] Go, find the arrows. If I expressly say to the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them; then come, for there is peace for thee, and it is nothing; [as] Jehovah liveth.
“Chule chapang khat thal chang ho hol ding’a kahinsol ding ahi. Chule chapangpa jah’a, ‘Ven, thalchang ho chu nasihlam panga naume,’ tia kasei najah a ahile, hing jing Pakai mina kasei ahi, abonchan aphasoh keiye, imacha hahsatna aumpoi.
22 But if I say thus to the youth: Behold, the arrows are beyond thee, — go thy way; for Jehovah sends thee away.
Amavang keiman amajah’a, “Gamla jepmah chen, thal chang chu nakhel lamah aume, katia ahile, nalampia gangtah’in che jeng in, ajeh chu Pakaiyin nasolmang ahi,” ti hetna ahi,” ati.
23 And as to the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, Jehovah is between me and thee for ever.
“Chule Pakai ahettohsah ahijeh'in, ikitepna vang chu Pakaiyin tonsot geiya einitsah teitei lhon hen,” ati
24 And David hid himself in the field; and it was the new moon, and the king sat at table to eat.
Hitichun David chu loulaiyah akisellin, chule lhathah kut kiman na ahunglhun phat in, Lengpa chu, anne dingin atou lhatan ahi.
25 And the king sat on his seat, as at other times, on the seat by the wall; and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty.
Chule lengpa chu nidanga bangin bangkoma touna chunga chun atouvin ahi. Jonathan toh akimai ngatton, chule Abner asih-lang ah atouve. Ahin David touna chu a-ongtai.
26 And Saul said nothing that day; for he thought, Something has befallen [him], that he is not clean: surely he is not clean.
Ahinlah Saul in hicheni chun imacha aseipoi, ajeh chu ama chunga thil thenglou khattou David asuhboh hinte, tia alunggel ahi.
27 And it came to pass the next day after the new moon, the second [day of the month], as David's place was empty, that Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why has not the son of Jesse come to table, neither yesterday nor to-day?
Ahinlah, ajinga jong David touna a-on kit phat in, Saul in Jonathan jah’a, “Ipi jeh’a Jesse chapa janhia jong tunia jong hunglou hitam?” tin adongtai.
28 And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me [to go] to Bethlehem,
Jonathan in, “David in Bethlehem a cheding in hatah in kakoma phalna athumin,
29 and said, Let me go, I pray thee; for we have a family sacrifice in the city; and my brother himself has commanded me [to be there]; and now, if I have found favour in thy sight, let me go away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. He has therefore not come to the king's table.
Aman, ‘Lungset tah in, neichesah in, ajeh chu kainsung miten kumseh a kho sunga gan kilhaina kaneidiu ahin, chule kasopi te hotoh jong kakimupi nom’e, tin ataovin ahi. Hijeh a chu lengpa dokhang’a atouna ong’ah ahi,” atin ahi.
30 And Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, Son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own shame and to the shame of thy mother's nakedness?
Chuin Jonathan chunga Saul alunghang behseh jengin, “Numei chaveinu chapa!” tin lunghang tah’in ahousen ahi. “Nalunggel hohi ken kahetlouva nagel ham? Nakhella lenga natungot ham? Nangma le nanu jumso pa,” ati.
31 For as long as the son of Jesse lives upon earth, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. And now send and fetch him to me, for he must die.
“Jesse chapa David ahinlai sungsen, nang leng’in pang theipon nate. Tun chenlang gaholdoh in katha ding ahi,” ati.
32 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, Why should he be put to death? what has he done?
Jonathan in, “Ipijeh’a kithat ding ham? Aman ipi abolset ham?” tin apa adongin ahi.
33 Then Saul cast the spear at him to smite him; and Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to put David to death.
Chuin Saul in achapa Jonathan chu thadingin tengchan akho jeng in ahi. Hichea kon chun Jonathan in jong apan David thading’a agot mong ahi tichu ahedoh tai.
34 And Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no meat the second day of the new moon; for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.
Hichun Jonathan chu lunghang tah’in dokhang akonin akipatdoh in, apan ajachat sah behseh jeh chun chuche kut ni ni lhin nichun an ane tapoi, David chu alungkhampi lheh tan ahi.
35 And it came to pass in the morning that Jonathan went out into the field, to the place agreed on with David, and a little lad with him.
Ajing jingkah in David toh akitepna bangin, Jonathan chu chapang khat toh apotdoh lhon in, loujaova chun ache lhontai.
36 And he said to his lad, Run, find now the arrows which I shoot. The lad ran, and he shot the arrow beyond him.
Chuin aman chapangpa jah’a chun “ka kapgot thalchang hohi gaholdoh in,” ati. Chuin chapangpa chu alhaijel in ahile, Jonathan in akal langpeh a thalchang chu akap’in ahi.
37 And when the lad came to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad and said, Is not the arrow away beyond thee?
Chuin chapangpa chu Jonathan in akapdoh thalchang kom aphah phat ding konin, Jonathan in chapangpa jah-a, “Thalchang chu akal langpeh’ah achubouve,” atin ahi.
38 And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not! And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
Jonathanin chapangpa chu asamin, “Hikoma chun dingden hih in, agang gangin hinchoi loiyin,” ati. Chuin chapangpa chun thalchangho chu achom khomin, apu henga ahungtai.
39 And the lad knew nothing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
Ahinlah chapangpa chun imacha ahepon, Jonathan le David in bou thil kibolho chu ahet lhon ahi.
40 And Jonathan gave his weapons to his lad, and said to him, Go, carry them to the city.
Chuin Jonathan in amanchah ho chu chapangpa apen, chenlang khopi sungah anapolut in tin asoltai.
41 The lad went, and David arose from the side of the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times; and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
Chuin chapangpa apotdoh doh in, songlhuh pang’a akiselna a konin David chu ahung potdoh'in, thumveijen tollah amai asulut in Jonathan maiyah akunin, anilhon in amitlhipum in akikolto lhonin ana kivailhah lhon tai. Hichu Jonathan sangin David apona dehset in ahi.
42 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have both of us sworn in the name of Jehovah, saying, Jehovah be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever! And he arose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.
Jonathan in David komah, “Lungmong’in chetan, Pakai mina thengsel’a ikihahsel lhon nang le kei, na chilhahte le keiya din, ikitepna chu tonsot geiyin Pakaiyin eikoi jing u hen,” ati. Hichun David in adalhan, chule Jonathan jong khopi lam’ah akile kittai.
