1 Samuel 14
1 Now it came to pass one day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, and let us go over to the garrison of the Philistines, which is on the other side of yonder place. But he told not this to his father.
Hnin touh hnin vah, Sawl e capa Jonathan ni sene ka sin e thoundoun buet touh koevah tho, namran lah kaawm e Filistinnaw e taran ka ring e ransanaw aonae koe cet atipouh. A na pa koe dei pouh hoeh.
2 And Saul abode in the uttermost part of Gabaa under the pomegranate tree, which was in Magron: and the people with him were about six hundred men.
Sawl teh Gibeah ram apoutnae koelae Migron ram e talekung a rahim vah ao teh, ahni koe tami 600 tabang ao.
3 And Achias the son of Achitob brother to Ichabod the son of Phinees, the son of Heli the priest of the Lord in Silo, wore the ephod. And the people knew not whither Jonathan was gone.
Shiloh kho e BAWIPA e vaihma bawi Eli capa Phinehas capa Ikhabod e a hmau Ahitub capa Ahijah ni vaihma angki a kho. Hatei Jonathan a cei tie taminaw ni panuek hoeh.
4 Now there were between the ascents, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the garrison of the Philistines, rocks standing up on both sides, and steep cliffs like teeth on the one side, and on the other, the name of the one was Boses, and the name of the other was Sene:
Filistinnaw e roenae hmuen koe Jonathan ni rakan han noenae mon lam vah, avoivang lah lungngoum ao teh buet touh e min teh Bozez, alouke buet touh e min Seneh doeh.
5 One rock stood out towards the north over against Machmas, and the other to the south over against Gabaa.
Lungngoum buet touh teh atunglah Mikmash kho koe lah thoseh, alouke buet touh e teh akalah Geba kho lah thoseh a kangvawi.
6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised, it may be the Lord will do for us, because it is easy for the Lord to save either by many, or by few.
Jonathan ni sene ka sin pouh e thoundoun koe tho, vuensom ka a hoeh e roenae hmuen koe cet awh sei. Ayoun nakunghai, apap nakunghai nang ni hai BAWIPA rungngang hoeh nahan a cakâ thai hoeh han dawk, BAWIPA ni maimouh han na sak pouh tâ panue telah a dei.
7 And his armourbearer said to him: Do all that pleaseth thy mind: go whither thou wilt, and I will be with thee wheresoever thou hast a mind.
Sene ka sin e ni ahni koe na lung dawk kaawm e pueng sak. Na pouknae patetlah cet, nang koe ka o doeh telah atipouh.
8 And Jonathan said: Behold we will go over to these men. And when we shall be seen by them,
Jonathan ni ahawi ahnimouh koe cei awh vaiteh kâpâtue awh sei.
9 If they shall speak thus to us: Stay till we come to you: let us stand still in our place, and not go up to them.
Ahnimouh ni awm awh, kaimouh ka tho awh han tetpawiteh, ahnimouh koe cet laipalah o awh han.
10 But if they shall say: Come up to us: let us go up, because the Lord hath delivered them into our hands, this shall be a sign unto us.
Hatei ahnimouh ni, kaimouh koe takhang awh, telah dei awh pawiteh, takhang awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni kut dawk na poe awh toe. Maimouh hanelah noutnae lah ao han telah ati.
11 So both of them discovered themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said: Behold the Hebrews come forth out of the holes wherein they were hid.
Hottelah, kahni touh hoi Filistin ramveng ransa aonae koe vah, a kamnue roi. Filistinnaw ni, khenhaw! Hebrunaw a kâhronae khu dawk hoi a tâco telah ati awh.
12 And the men of the garrison spoke to Jonathan, and to his armourbearer, and said: Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said to his armourbearer: Let us go up, follow me: for the Lord hath delivered them into the hands of Israel.
Ramveng ransa onae koe kaawm e naw ni Jonathan hoi sene ka sin e koevah, kaimouh koe takhang awh haw, hno buet touh na hmu sak awh han telah a kaw awh. Jonathan ni sene ka sin e koevah, kâbang haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni ahnimouh teh Isarel kut dawk a poe toe telah ati.
13 And Jonathan went up creeping on his hands and feet, and his armourbearer after him. And some fell before Jonathan, others his armourbearer slew as he followed him.
Jonathan teh kâ laihoi a cei. Sene ka sin pouh e ni a kâbang sin. Ahnimouh teh Jonathan e hmalah a rawp awh teh sene ka sin e ni a thei awh.
14 And the first slaughter which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was of about twenty men, within half an acre of land, which a yoke of oxen is wont to plough in a day.
Jonathan hoi sene ka sin e ni law ekah tangawn hmuen ka len e thungup tami 20 tabang a thei awh. Het heh apasuek kâtuknae doeh.
15 And there was a miracle in the camp, through the fields: yea and all the people of their garrison, who had gone out to plunder, were amazed, and the earth trembled: and it happened as a miracle from God.
Tungpupnae hmuen, law, hoi tami pueng koe pâyawnae teh a pha. Ramveng ransa hoi tarankatuknaw hai a pâyaw awh. Tâlî puenghoi a no dawkvah puenghoi a pâyaw awh.
16 And the watchmen of Saul, who were in Gabaa of Benjamin looked, and behold a multitude overthrown, and fleeing this way and that.
Benjamin ram Gibeah e Sawl taran karingkungnaw ni a radoung awh teh, khenhaw! tamihupui teh avoivang lah koung a yawng awh toe, tie a hmu awh.
17 And Saul said to the people that were with him: Look, and see who is gone from us. And when they had sought, it was found that Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there.
Hatnavah Sawl ni ama koe kaawm e tamihu koevah, kâparei awh haw. Apimaw kaawm hoeh, khen awh telah ati. A kâparei awh navah pouk laipalah Jonathan hoi sene ka sin e hah awm hoeh.
18 And Saul said to Achias: Bring the ark of the Lord. (For the ark of God was there that day with the children of Israel.)
Sawl ni Ahijah koevah, Cathut e thingkong hah hi thokhai awh telah ati. Bangkongtetpawiteh hatnae tueng dawk Cathut e thingkong teh Isarelnaw koe ao.
19 And while Saul spoke to the priest, there arose a great uproar in the camp of the Philistines: and it increased by degrees, and was heard more clearly. And Saul said to the priest: Draw in thy hand.
Sawl ni vaihma bawi a pato lahun nah Filistinnaw roenae hmuen koe e rucatnae hoe apap. Hahoi Sawl ni vaihma bawi koevah na kut hno leih telah atipouh.
20 Then Saul and all the people that were with him, shouted together, and they came to the place of the fight: and behold every man’s sword was turned upon his neighbour, and there was a very great slaughter.
Sawl hoi ama koe kaawm e pueng teh a kamkhueng awh teh tarantuknae koe a cei awh. Khenhaw! amamouh hoi amamanaw tahloi a kâbouk awh teh runae kalen poung ao.
21 Moreover the Hebrews that had been with the Philistines yesterday and the day before, and went up with them into the camp, returned to be with the Israelites, who were with Saul and Jonathan.
Hothloilah haw tapat e ram dawk ka cet e, hat hoehnahlan Filistin koe lah kaawm e Hebru taminaw hai Sawl hoi Jonathan koevah kaawm e Isarelnaw koe lah a kamlang awh.
22 And all the Israelites that had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, hearing that the Philistines fled, joined themselves with their countrymen in the fight. And there were with Saul about ten thousand men.
Hot patetvanlah, Ephraim mon dawkvah kâhrawk e Isarelnaw ni Filistinnaw a yawng awh tie a thai awh toteh tarantuknae koe a bawk awh teh pou a pâlei awh.
23 And the Lord saved Israel that day. And the fight went on as far as Bethaven.
Hote hnin navah BAWIPA ni hottelah Isarelnaw hah a rungngang teh Bethaven kho totouh a tuk awh.
24 And the men of Israel were joined together that day; and Saul adjured the people, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat food till evening, till I be revenged of my enemies. So none of the people tasted any food:
Hote Sawl ni thoebonae e hnin dawk Isarelnaw teh a kângairu awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Sawl ni ka tarannaw lathueng moi ka pathung hoe roukrak, tangmin a pha hoehroukrak bu ka cat e tami teh thoebo lah awm seh telah taminaw koe lawkkamnae a ta pouh, apinihai rawca cat a hoeh.
25 And all the common people came into a forest, in which there was honey upon the ground.
Tami pueng teh ratu dawk a pha awh teh, khoitui onae koe ao awh.
26 And when the people came into the forest, behold the honey dropped, but no man put his hand to his mouth. For the people feared the oath.
Kahrawng a kâen awh nah khoitui dekdek a ca e a hmu awh. Thoe a bo e a taki awh dawkvah, apihai a kutdawn hoi hai palem awh hoeh.
27 But Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people: and he put forth the end of the rod, which he had in his hand, and dipt it in a honeycomb: and he carried his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were enlightened.
Jonathan teh a na pa ni tami thoebo lahoi lawk a kam sak e panuek hoeh. A sin e sonron hmo hoi khoipha a cuek teh a palem. Hatnavah a mit vuk a ang.
28 And one of the people answering, said: Thy father hath bound the people with an oath, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat any food this day. (And the people were faint.)
Ransa buet touh ni a dei pouh, na pa ni sahnin dawk rawca ka cat e pueng teh thoebo lah awm seh telah tami pueng lawkkam a poe.
29 And Jonathan said: My father hath troubled the land: you have seen yourselves that my eyes are enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey:
Jonathan ni apa ni ram runae a poe. Hete khoitui yitca ka patek e lahoi ka mit banghloimaw a ang sak, khenhaw.
30 How much more if the people had eaten of the prey of their enemies, which they found? had there not been made a greater slaughter among the Philistines?
Taminaw ni a taran kut dawk e a la e rawca a ngai patetlah catnet awh haw pawiteh aw, banghloimaw a phu ao han. Atu Filistin taminaw thei hane yit touh thet thai hoeh toe hei.
31 So they smote that day the Philistines from Machmas to Ailon. And the people were wearied exceedingly.
Hate hnin navah Mikmash hoi Aijalon totouh Filistinnaw hah a pâlei awh. Tami pueng a tawntam poung awh.
32 And falling upon the spoils, they took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people ate them with the blood.
Taminaw ni hnopai hah a cusin awh teh tu maitotan hoi a ca hah a man awh teh talai dawk a thei awh teh, taminaw ni a thi hoi hmai a ca awh.
33 And they told Saul that the people had sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood. And he said: You have transgressed: roll here to me now a great stone.
Khenhaw! thi hoi hmai a ca awh dawk taminaw ni BAWIPA dawk a yon awh toe telah Sawl koe a dei pouh awh teh, ahni ni nangmouh teh yuem na kamcu hoeh toe. Sahnin vah talung kalenpounge kai koe palet awh telah atipouh.
34 And Saul said: Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them to bring me every man his ox and his ram, and slay them upon this stone, and eat, and you shall not sin against the Lord in eating with the blood. So all the people brought every man his ox with him till the night: and slew them there.
Sawl ni taminaw koe cet awh nateh ahnimouh koe lengkaleng namamae tu, maitonaw hah kai koe thokhai awh nateh, hie hmuen koe thet nateh cat awh haw. Thi hoi hmai ca e lahoi BAWIPA koe yonnae sak awh hanh atipouh e patetlah hat nae tangmin vah taminaw ni lengkaleng amamae maitonaw hah a thokhai awh teh hote hmuen koe a thei awh.
35 And Saul built an altar to the Lord and he then first began to build an altar to the Lord.
Sawl ni BAWIPA hanelah thuengnae khoungroe a sak, hote thuengnae khoungroe teh apasuekpoung BAWIPA hanelah sak e lah ao.
36 And Saul said: Let us fall upon the Philistines by night, and destroy them till the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And the people said: Do all that seemeth good in thy eyes. And the priest said: Let us draw near hither unto God.
Sawl ni Filistinnaw koe karum vah Filistinnaw pâlei awh nateh khodai totouh buet touh hai hlout hoeh nahan thet awh telah a dei pouh. Ahnimouh ni hai ahawi na tie patetlah sak, telah bout a dei awh. Hatei vaihma bawi ni hete hmuen koe Cathut koe hnai awh ei atipouh.
37 And Saul consulted the Lord: Shall I pursue after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hands of Israel? And he answered him not that day.
Sawl ni Filistinnaw ka tuk han rah maw ahnimanaw Isarelnaw kut dawk na poe han maw, Cathut koe a pacei eiteh, hote hnin dawk lawk dei pouh hoeh.
38 And Saul said: Bring hither all the corners of the people: and know, and see by whom this sin hath happened today.
Sawl ni nangmouh tamihu ka uk e pueng tho awh, sahnin vah hete yonnae bangnaw maw tie panue hoi hmu hane kâyawm awh haw.
39 As the Lord liveth who is the saviour of Israel, if it was done by Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. In this none of the people gainsaid him.
Isarelnaw e BAWIPA a hring e patetlah ka capa Jonathan nakunghai a due roeroe han telah ati. Hatei taminaw thueng dawk lawk ka pathung e buet touh hai awm hoeh.
40 And he said to all Israel: Be you on one side, and I with Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people answered Saul: Do what seemeth good in thy eyes.
Sawl ni Isarelnaw koe nangmouh hmuen buet touh koe lah awm awh. Kai hoi ka capa Jonathan teh hmuen buet touh koe ka o han ati teh, ahawi na tie patetlah sak yawkaw taminaw ni telah Sawl koe atipouh awh.
41 And Saul said to the Lord: O Lord God of Israel, give a sign, by which we may know, what the meaning is, that thou answerest not thy servant today. If this iniquity be in me, or in my son Jonathan, give a proof: or if this iniquity be in thy people, give holiness. And Jonathan and Saul were taken, and the people escaped.
Sawl ni BAWIPA Isarelnaw e Cathut koe a tang e hah kamnuek sak awh atipouh navah Sawl hoi Jonathan dawk cungpam a pabo teh taminaw pueng a hlout awh.
42 And Saul said: Cast lots between me, and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.
Sawl ni kai hoi ka capa Jonathan hah cungpam rayu awh haw atipouh teh Jonathan e van a bo.
43 And Saul said to Jonathan: Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said: I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod, which was in my hand, and behold I must die.
Sawl ni Jonathan koevah nang ni bang hno maw na sak dei haw atipouh. Jonathan ni ka kut dawk e sonron hoi khoitui ka tek katang toe. Khenhaw! kai ka due han toe telah Sawl koe bout a dei pouh.
44 And Saul said: May God do so and so to me, and add still more: for dying thou shalt die, O Jonathan.
Sawl ni na due katang han. Na dout hoehpawiteh Cathut ni hot hlak hoe sak naseh.
45 And the people said to Saul: Shall Jonathan then die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? This must not be. As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people delivered Jonathan, that he should not die.
Taminaw ni Isarelnaw dawk kalen poung rungngangnae ka sak e Jonathan a due han namaw, khuet dout ti. BAWIPA a hring e patetlah a lû dawk e sam buet touh boehai talai dawk bawt mahoeh. Sahnin vah Cathut hoi rei a tawk ati awh. Hottelah taminaw ni Jonathan a rungngang awh teh dout hoeh.
46 And Saul went back, and did not pursue after the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own places.
Hathnukkhu Sawl ni Filistinnaw pâlei e hah a ban takhai awh teh a onae hmuen koe koung a ban awh.
47 And Saul having his kingdom established over Israel, fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and Edom, and the kings of Soba, and the Philistines; and whithersoever he turned himself, he overcame.
Sawl ni Isarelnaw lathueng a uknaeram a caksak teh avangvang lae Zobah siangpahrangnaw hoi Filistinnaw a tuk awh. A tuk awh nah tangkuem a tâ awh.
48 And gathering together an army, he defeated Amalec, and delivered Israel from the hand of them that spoiled them.
Ransanaw a pâkhueng teh, Amalek taminaw a tuk awh. Isarelnaw hah ahnimae kut dawk hoi a rungngang awh.
49 And the sons of Saul, were Jonathan, and Jessui, and Melchisua: and the names of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn was Merob, and the name of the younger Michol.
Sawl e capanaw teh Jonathan, Ishvi hoi Malkhishua doeh. A canu roi e min teh, kacue e Merab, kanaw e teh Mikhal doeh.
50 And the name of Saul’s wife, was Achinoam the daughter of Achimaas; and the name of the captain of his army was Abner, the son of Ner, the cousin german of Saul.
Sawl e a yu teh Ahinoam Ahimaaz canu doeh. Ransabawi e min teh Abner. Sawl e a na pa kanaw teh Ner capa doeh.
51 For Cis was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner, was son of Abiel.
Kish teh Sawl e a na pa doeh. Abner e na pa Ner teh Abiel capa doeh.
52 And there was a great war against the Philistines all the days of Saul. For whomsoever Saul saw to be a valiant man, and fit for war, he took him to himself.
Sawl a hringyung thung Filistinnaw hoi puenghoi a kâtuk awh, athakaawme taminaw thoseh a tarankahawinaw thoseh a hmu e pueng hah ama hanelah a pâkhueng.
