1 Samuel 18
1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
David hoi Saul lokthuih hoi boih pacoengah, Jonathan loe David poekhaih baktiah poekhaih tawnh pongah, anih to angmah ih takpum baktiah palung.
2 And Saul took him that day, and would not let him return to his father’s house.
To na niah Saul mah David to lak, ampa im ah amlaemsak ai boeh.
3 And David and Jonathan made a covenant, for be loved him as his own soul.
Jonathan mah David to angmah ih takpum baktiah palung pongah, anih hoi lokkamhaih to sak.
4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the coat with which he was clothed, and gave it to David, and the rest of his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
Jonathan loe angmah ih kahni to angkhring moe, David to paek; a khukbuennawk, a sumsen, kalii hoi kaengkaehnawk doeh a paek.
5 And David went out to whatsoever business Saul sent him, and he behaved himself prudently: and Saul set him over the soldiers, and he was acceptable in the eyes of all the people, and especially in the eyes of Saul’s servants.
David loe Saul mah toksak hanah patoeh kruek a caeh moe, palunghahaih hoiah sak pongah, Saul mah araengh kasang misatuh kaminawk ukkung tok to paek. Anih loe kaminawk boih hoi Saul ih tamnanawk boih mah doeh tapom ih kami ah oh.
6 Now when David returned, after be slew the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels of joy, and cornets.
David mah Philistin kaminawk to hum moe, im ah amlaem naah, Israel vangpuinawk ih nongpatanawk loe tacawt o boih moe, atuenpawk congca hoi cingcengnawk to boh o, anghoehaih laa to sak o moe, hnawhaih hoiah Saul siangpahrang to dawt o.
7 And the women sung as they played, and they said: I Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
Nongpatanawk loe Saul mah sangto hum moe, David mah sang hato hum, tiah maeto pacoeng maeto laa sak o.
8 And Saul was exceeding angry, and this word was displeasing in his eyes, and he said: They have given David ten thousands, and to me they have given but a thousand; what can he have more but the kingdom?
To naah David mah sang hato hum moe, kai loe sangto khue ang hum o sak, prae khue ai ah loe, kalah hmuen timaw ka hak han oh vop? tiah Saul mah poekhaih tawnh pongah, to tiah thuih ih lok pongah paroeai palungphui.
9 And Saul did not look on David with a good eye from that day and forward.
To pongah to na ni hoi kamtong Saul mah David to uthaih mik hoiah khet.
10 And the day after the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David played with his hand as at other times. And Saul held a spear in his hand,
Khawnbangah loe Angraeng khae hoi kasae muithla to Saul nuiah krak; Saul mah a imthung aum ah lok taphong naah, David mah sak zong ih baktih toengah, Saul hanah katoeng to kruek pae, toe Saul loe a ban ah tayae to sinh.
11 And threw it, thinking to nail David to the wall: and David stept aside out of his presence twice.
Saul mah tapang hoi nawnto David to takhawh han, tiah poekhaih tawnh pongah, tayae to takhawh. Toe David mah tayae to vai hnetto ayae taak ving.
12 And Saul feared David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from himself.
Angraeng loe Saul khae hoi tacawt moe, David khaeah oh pongah, Saul mah David to zit.
13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him a captain over a thousand men, and he went out and came in before the people.
To pongah Saul mah David to angmah khae hoiah tacawtsak moe, misatuh kami sangto ukkung angraeng ah suek; David loe anih taeng hoiah tacawt moe, misatuh kaminawk to zaehhoih.
14 And David behaved wisely in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
Angraeng mah oh thuih pongah, David loe a caehhaih loklam kruekah palunghahaih hoiah toksak.
15 And Saul saw that he was exceeding prudent, and began to beware of him.
A sak ih hmuen boih ah acoehaih hoiah sak, tiah Saul mah hnuk naah, anih to zit.
16 But all Israel and Juda loved David, for he came in and went out before them.
Toe David loe misatuk naah kaminawk boih zaehhoih pongah, Israel hoi Judah kaminawk mah palung o.
17 And Saul said to David: Behold my elder daughter Merob, her will I give thee to wife: only be a valiant man, and fight the battles of the Lord. Now Saul said within himself: Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hands of the Philistines be upon him.
Saul mah David khaeah, Khenah, canu kacoeh Rerab hae ka tawnh; na zu ah kang paek han; kai han misahoih ah loe, Angraeng hanah misa to tuh ah, tiah a naa. Saul mah, David nuiah ban ka phok mak ai, Philistinnawk mah anih nuiah ban phok o nasoe, tiah poekhaih tawnh.
18 And David said to Saul: Who am I, or what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son in law of the king?
Toe David mah Saul khaeah, Kai loe mi maw? Kai loe mi maw? Israel prae thungah kai hoi ka imthung takoh khosakhaih loe kawbangmaw oh moe, siangpahrang canu ih sava ah ka oh han? tiah a naa.
19 And it came to pass at the time when Merob the daughter of Saul should have been given to David, that she was given to Hadriel the Molathite to wife.
Toe David mah Saul ih canu Merab lakhaih atue phak naah loe, a canu to Meholah ih kami Adriel hanah paek ving.
20 But Michol the other daughter of Saul loved David. And it was told Saul, and it pleased him.
Saul canu Mikal mah loe David to koeh; to kawng to Saul khaeah a thuih pae o naah, Saul loe poeknawm.
21 And Saul said: I will give her to him, that she may be a stumblingblock to him, and that the band of the Philistines may be upon him. And Saul said to David: In two things thou shalt be my son in law this day.
Saul mah, Ka canu Mikal to anih han ka paek han, to tiah ni Mikal hae anih han dongh patung pae baktiah om ueloe, Philistinnawk ban ah amaan thai tih, tiah poek. To pongah Saul mah David khaeah, Nang loe vaihniah ka canu ih sava ah na om tih boeh, tiah a naa.
22 And Saul commanded his servants to speak to David privately, saying: Behold thou pleasest the king, and all his servants love thee. Now therefore be the king’s son in law.
To naah Saul mah a tamnanawk to kawk moe, David khaeah hae lok hae thui pae oh, Khenah, siangpahrang loe na nuiah poeknawm, anih ih tamnanawk boih mah doeh nang ang palung o; to pongah vaihniah a canu ih sava ah om lai ah, tiah a naa o.
23 And the servants of Saul spoke all these words in the ears of David. And David said: Doth it seem to you a small matter to be the king’s son in law? But I am a poor man, and of small ability.
To lok to Saul ih tamnanawk mah David khaeah thuih pae o let; toe David mah, Kai loe khingya koi om ai kamtang caa ah ka oh pongah, siangpahrang canu ih sava ah oh hae hmuen tetta ah maw na poek o? tiah a naa.
24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying: Such words as these hath David spoken.
Saul ih tamnanawk mah Saul khaeah, David mah hae tiah lokthuih, tiah a thuih pae o let,
25 And Saul said: Speak thus to David: The king desireth not any dowry, but only a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies. Now Saul thought to deliver David into the hands of the Philistines.
to naah Saul mah, Siangpahrang mah na zu lakhaih atho paek han koeh ai, a misanawk nuiah lu lak hanah, Philistin kaminawk ih tangyat hin cumvaito ni a koeh, tiah David khaeah thui pae oh, tiah a naa. Saul poekhaih loe Philistin kaminawk ban ah David to dueksak han koeh.
26 And when his servants had told David the words that Saul had said, the word was pleasing in the eyes of David to be the king’s son in law.
To lok to a tamnanawk mah David khaeah thuih pae o naah, David mah siangpahrang canu ih sava ah oh hanah koeh. Atue khaehhaih ni akoep ai naah,
27 And after a few days David rose up, and went with the men that were under him, and he slew of the Philistines two hundred men, and brought their foreskins and numbered them out to the king, that he might be his son in law. Saul therefore gave him Michol his daughter to wife.
David loe angthawk moe, angmah ih kaminawk hoi nawnto caeh pacoengah, Philistin kaminawk cumvai hnetto hum. Nihcae ih tangyat hin to a lak moe, siangpahrang canu ih sava ah oh thai hanah siangpahrang khaeah a sinh pae. To naah Saul mah a canu Mikal to zu ah paek.
28 And Saul saw, and understood that the Lord was with David. And Michol the daughter of Saul loved him.
Angraeng mah David to oh haih, a canu Mikal mah David palung parai, tiah Saul mah panoek.
29 And Saul began to fear David more: and Saul became David’s enemy continually.
To naah Saul mah David to zit aep aep; to tiah a hing thung Saul loe David ih misa ah oh.
30 And the princes of the Philistines went forth: and from the beginning of their going forth, David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, and his name became very famous.
To pacoengah Philistin kaminawk loe Israel kaminawk tuk hanah angzoh o let; to tiah misatuk han angzoh o pacoengah doeh, David loe kalah Saul ih misatuh kaminawk pongah palunghahaih hoiah misa to tuk pongah, anih loe ahmin amthang aep aep.
