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 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 David and Jonathan made a covenant, for be 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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 sung as they played, and they said: I Saul slew 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 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?
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 did not look on David with a good eye from that day and forward.
Hijeh chun, hichenia kipat chun, Saul in David chu thangthipna mitvet in avepan tan ahi.
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,
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 threw it, thinking to nail David to the wall: and David stept aside out of his presence twice.
Chule hetmanlouvin, tengchan David chu akhon ahi, bangtoh khobeh ding agot ahin, ahinlah David in ana otdoh in ahi.
12 And Saul feared David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from himself.
Pathen in Saul adlhah’a David aumpi jeh chun Saul in Daivd chu akichalheh jengtan ahi.
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.
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 behaved wisely in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
Chuin David Pakaiyin aumpi jeh chun imalam jouse’ah alolhing lheh jing in ahi.
15 And Saul saw that he was exceeding prudent, and began to beware of him.
David lolhing nathu teho Saul in ajahdoh kit phat in, akicha cheh cheh jengtan ahi.
16 But all Israel and Juda loved David, for he came in and went out 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 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.
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, or what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son in law of 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 Merob the daughter of Saul should have been given to David, that she was given to Hadriel the Molathite to 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 But Michol the other daughter of Saul loved David. And it was told Saul, and it pleased him.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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: Such words as these hath David spoken.
Chuin Saul mitehon hiche thu chu Saul koma asei doh phat un.
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 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 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.
Saul lengpa thil ngeh chu David in ajahdoh phat in kipahtah in asangtai, anikho kitep alhun masang in,
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 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 understood that the Lord was with David. And Michol the daughter of Saul loved him.
Pakaiyin David aumpi ti kichen tah in ahetan, chule achanu Michal angailut dan ahetan ahi.
29 And Saul began to fear David more: and Saul became 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 from the beginning of their going forth, David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, and his name became very famous.
Philistine te sepaiten aphatseh leh ahin nokhum jing jengun, ahin David hatna achang jing jeng in, David min nasatah in akithang tan ahi.
