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.
Saul taengah a thui te a khah van neh Jonathan kah a hinglu neh David kah a hinglu he hlaengtang uh rhoi. Te dongah Jonathan te a lungnah tih anih khaw Jonathan loh amah kah hinglu bangla a lungnah.
2 And Saul took him that day, and would not let him return to his father’s house.
Tekah khohnin lamkah longah David te Saul loh a loh tih, a napa im la bal sak voel pawh.
3 And David and Jonathan made a covenant, for be loved him as his own soul.
David te Jonathan loh amah hinglu bangla a lungnah dongah moi a boh pah.
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.
Te dongah Jonathan loh a hnikul te a pit tih a himbai khaw, a cunghang khaw, a lii neh a hni khaw David 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.
A cungkuem dongah Saul loh anih a tueih vanbangla David khaw cet tih a cangbam. Te dongah anih te Saul caemtloek hlang rhoek kah soah a khueh tih pilnam boeih kah mikhmuh ah khaw Saul kah a sal rhoek kah mikhmuh ah khaw mikhmai then a dang.
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.
Philisti aka tloek lamloh David ha bal phoeiah amih te khaw bal uh. Te vaengah manghai Saul doe hamla Israel khopuei tom lamkah huta rhoek loh kamrhing neh, toembael neh, kohoenah neh a lam neh a hlai uh tih ha pawk uh.
7 And the women sung as they played, and they said: I Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
Te vaengah huta rhoek loh a nueih doela a doo uh tih, “Saul loh thawngkhat, thawngkhat, David loh thawngrha a ngawn,” a ti nah.
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?
Te vaengah Saul te ta-oe lungoe. Tekah olka te a mikhmuh ah thae ni a huet pah. Te dongah Saul loh, “David tah thawngrha a paek uh tih kai tloe tah thawngkhat m'paek uh. Ram aka om duen khaw anih ham khoep thil koinih,” a ti.
9 And Saul did not look on David with a good eye from that day and forward.
Te khohnin lamkah long tah Saul loh David te thaesainah neh a mikmuelh coeng.
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,
A vuen ah tah Pathen kah mueihla thae te Saul soah thaihtak tih a im khui ah a tonghma pah. Khohnin khohnin ah David loh a kut neh rhotoeng a tum pah dae Saul kut dongah caai ni a om.
11 And threw it, thinking to nail David to the wall: and David stept aside out of his presence twice.
Te vaengah Saul loh David te, “Ka ngawn eh?,” a ti coeng dae pangbueng te caai neh a khoh. Te vaengah David te Saul mikhmuh lamloh hnavoei a paelhael tak.
12 And Saul feared David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from himself.
David he BOEIPA loh a om puei dongah Saul loh a rhih. Tedae David amah te Saul taeng lamloh vik nong.
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.
Te dongah Saul loh David te amah taeng lamloh a tueih tih amah yueng la thawngkhat kah mangpa la a khueh. Te dongah David khaw pilnam kah mikhmuh la mop van tih pongpa van.
14 And David behaved wisely in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
A longpuei ah David te BOEIPA loh boeih a cangbam tih anih te a om puei.
15 And Saul saw that he was exceeding prudent, and began to beware of him.
Anih loh bahoeng a cangbam te Saul loh a hmuh vaengah a mikhmuh ah bakuep coeng.
16 But all Israel and Juda loved David, for he came in and went out before them.
David he Israel neh Judah pum loh a lungnah dongah amah amih mikhmuh ah mop van tih pongpa van.
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.
Te vaengah David te Saul loh, “Ka canu a ham Merab he na yuu la kam pae eh?, kamah taengah tatthai ca la dawk om lamtah BOEIPA kah caemtloek te vathoh thil,” a ti nah. Tedae Saul loh, “Ka kut loh David cuuk thil pawt cakhaw Philisti kut loh cuuk thil kolo saeh,” a ti.
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?
Tedae David loh Saul taengah, “Manghai cava la om ham akhaw Israel khuiah kai he ulae? A pa kah a hui a ko khuiah kai kah hingnah he balae?,” a ti nah.
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.
Tedae Saul canu Merab te David taengla paek ham a tue a pha vaengah tah anih te Mekoloti Adriel yuu la a paek.
20 But Michol the other daughter of Saul loved David. And it was told Saul, and it pleased him.
David loh Saul canu Mikhal a lungnah tih Saul taengla a puen pa uh hatah olka te a mikhmuh ah a thuem sak.
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.
Te vaengah Saul loh, “Anih ka paek daengah ni David taengah hlaeh la a om pa vetih Philisti kut loh a cuuk thil eh?,” a ti. Te dongah Saul loh David te, “Tihnin ah a pabae la kan cava nah eh,” a ti nah.
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.
Te phoeiah Saul loh a sal rhoek te, “David te a huep la voek uh lamtah, 'Manghai loh nang ng'ngaih tih a sal boeih long khaw nang n'lungnah coeng dongah manghai cava la om laeh,’ ti nah,” tila a uen.
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.
Tekah ol te Saul kah sal rhoek loh David hna ah a thui uh. Tedae David loh, “Na mikhmuh ah manghai loh n'cava nah te rhaemaih la, kai tah vawtthoek hlang neh rhaidaeng la,” a ti nah.
24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying: Such words as these hath David spoken.
Te dongah Saul taengla a sal rhoek te puen uh tih David kah a thui olka te a thui pah.
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.
Saul loh, “David te thui pah, manghai hamla maan a kuek moenih, manghai kah thunkha rhoek taengah phuloh, ham Philisti kah yahhmui yakhat mah,” a ti nah. Te vaengah David te Philisti kut ah cungku sak ham Saul loh a moeh.
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.
Te olka te a sal rhoek loh David taengla a puen pa uh vaengah tah, manghai loh a cava nah ham te, David mikhmuh ah khaw olka tluek tluek khui tih khohnin khaw thok sak voel pawh.
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.
Te dongah David te thoo tih a hlang rhoek te a caeh puei. Te phoeiah Philisti hlang yahnih te a ngawn. Amih kah yahhmui te David loh a khuen tih manghai loh a cava nah ham a kuek te manghai taengah a cuum sak. Te daengah a yuu la a canu Mikhal te Saul loh David taengah a paek.
28 And Saul saw, and understood that the Lord was with David. And Michol the daughter of Saul loved him.
Saul loh a sawt vaengah David taengah BOEIPA om tih Saul canu Mikhal loh David a lungnah te a ming.
29 And Saul began to fear David more: and Saul became David’s enemy continually.
David a rhih te Saul loh koep koep a koei dongah hnin takuem ah Saul he David kah thunkha la a om pah.
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.
Philisti mangpa rhoek ha pawk tih amih taengah aka cet dingdoeng la a om vaengah khaw Saul kah a sal rhoek te David loh boeih a cangbam dongah a ming khaw then tangkik.
