1 Samuel 26
1 The people of Ziph went to Saul at Gibeah and told him, “David's hiding on the hill of Hakilah, opposite the wastelands.”
Ziph tami ni Gibeah kho a tho teh, Sawl koevah Devit teh Hakhilah mon Hakhilah kho dawk a kâhro nahoehmaw, atipouh.
2 So Saul went to the Desert of Ziph along with three thousand specially-picked men from Israel to search for David there.
Hahoi, Sawl a thaw teh, a rawi e Isarelnaw tami 300 touh a hrawi teh, Ziph ram koelah Devit tawng hane a cei awh.
3 Saul set up camp beside the road at the hill of Hachilah opposite the wastelands, near to where David was living in the desert. When he realized that Saul had come looking for him there,
Sawl teh Jeshimon ram Hakhilah mon dawk a roe. Hatei, Devit teh kahrawngum vah ao teh, Sawl ni na tawng hanelah kahrawng vah a tho tie hah a panue.
4 he sent out spies and found out Saul had definitely arrived.
Hatdawkvah, Devit ni katuetkungnaw a patoun teh Sawl a tho katang tie hah a panue.
5 One night David got up and went over to Saul's camp and saw where Saul was sleeping, along with Abner, son of Ner, the army commander. Saul was lying in the middle of the camp with his men all around him.
Devit ni a thaw teh, Sawl tungpupnae koevah a cei. Devit ni Sawl hoi ransanaw kaukkung Ner capa Abner a inae hah a hmu. Sawl teh pupim lungui vah a i teh rangleng ransanaw ni a kalup.
6 David asked Ahimelech the Hittite and Abishai, son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, “Who wants to go with me into the camp to Saul?” “I'll go with you,” Abishai replied.
Devit ni Hit tami Ahimelek hoi Joab e nawngha Zeruiah capa Abisai koevah, Sawl roenae koe apimaw kai koe ka kâbang han telah a pacei navah, Abisai ni nang koe kai ka kâbang han atipouh.
7 So David and Abishai went to the army camp at night. Saul was sleeping there in the camp with his spear stuck in the ground beside his head, with Abner and his men sleeping around him.
Devit hoi Abisai teh Sawl tinaw onae koe tangmin vah a cei roi, khenhaw! Sawl te pupim lungui vah a i, a lû koevah tahroe hah talai dawk a thoe sak teh, Abner hoi ransanaw teh a tengpam vah a i awh.
8 Abishai said to David, “God has handed your enemy over to you today. So please let me spear him to the ground in one go. I won't need to do it twice!”
Abisai ni Devit koevah, sahnin vah Cathut ni na tarannaw teh na kut dawk na poe toe. Hatdawkvah, na san ni tahroe hah talai dawk vaitahoi na takho sak haw, vai hni touh ka takho mahoeh atipouh.
9 But David said to Abishai, “No, don't kill him! Who can attack the Lord's anointed one and not be guilty of a crime?
Hateiteh, Devit ni Abisai koe hawi hoeh, bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA Cathut ni satui awi e tami lathueng vah kut a tha teh, ngaithoum e tami apimaw kaawm boi telah atipouh.
10 As the Lord lives, the Lord himself will kill him. Either his time will come and he'll die, or he will go into battle and be killed.
Hothloilah, Devit ni BAWIPA a hring e patetlah BAWIPA a ma ni a hem han doeh. Hoehpawiteh, a duenae hnin a pha han doeh. Hoehpawiteh taran tuknae koe cet vaiteh a due han doeh.
11 May the Lord prevent me from attacking the Lord's anointed one. Just pick up the spear and water jug beside his head, and let's go.”
BAWIPA ni satui awi e tami lathueng vah ka kut ka pho hane teh, BAWIPA ni na pasoung hoeh. Hatei, a lû koe e tahroe hoi tuium teh la vaiteh cet leih sei atipouh.
12 David took the spear and water jug beside Saul's head, and they left. Nobody saw anything; nobody knew what had happened; nobody woke up. Everybody stayed asleep, because the Lord had made them fall into a deep sleep.
Hahoi teh, Devit ni Sawl e lû koe kaawm e tahroe hoi tuium hah a la teh a cei. Apinihai hmawt hoeh, ahnimanaw pueng teh mat a i awh dawkvah, api buet touh hai a kâhlaw hoeh dawkvah,
13 Then David went back over to the other side, and stood on top of the hill far enough away—there was a considerable distance between them.
Devit teh kakaw e a yawn namran lah a cei teh, kahlat e monruisom vah a kangdue.
14 He shouted down to the army and Abner, son of Ner, “Aren't you going to answer me, Abner?” “Who is that shouting, disturbing the king?” Abner called back.
Devit ni tamihupui hoi Ner capa Abner hah a oung teh, Abner na pato mahoeh maw atipouh. Hahoi Abner ni siangpahrang ka oung ngam e tami api nang maw atipouh.
15 David called to Abner, “Aren't you meant to be this great man? Is there anyone in Israel who is better than you? So why didn't you protect your master the king when someone came to kill him?
Devit ni Abner hanelah na tongpa hoeh maw. Isarelnaw e rahak vah nang patetlah e apimaw kaawm. Bangkongmaw siangpahrang na bawipa hah na ring thai hoeh maw. Tangmin vah tami buet touh ni siangpahrang na bawipa thei hanelah a tho toe.
16 You haven't done well at all. As the Lord lives, you all deserve to die, because you did not protect your master, the Lord's anointed. Take a look around. Where are the king's spear and water jug that were beside his head?”
Na sak e hno hawihoeh. Bawipa a hring e patetlah Bawipa ni satui awi e na bawipa hah kahawicalah na ring hoeh dawkvah, due hanelah na kamcu. Siangpahrang lû koe e tahroe hoi tuium hah nâmaw ao khenhaw! atipouh.
17 Saul recognized David's voice and asked, “Is that you speaking, David, my son?” “Yes it's me, my lord and king,” David replied.
Sawl ni Devit e lawk a thai navah, ka thai e lawk he ka capa Devit nange lawk maw atipouh navah, Devit ni oe kaie lawk doeh ka bawipa atipouh.
18 “Why is my lord hunting me, his servant? What is it that I've done? What crime am I guilty of?” he continued.
Bangkongmaw ka bawipa ni a san hah a pâlei. Bangmaw ka sak. Bangmaw ka kut dawk yonnae kaawm.
19 “Please listen to me, my lord and king. If the Lord has made you angry with me, then may he be happy to accept an offering. But if it's men that have done it, may they be cursed before the Lord! For all this while they've been driving me away from living among God's chosen people, telling me, ‘Go away and worship other gods.’
Hatdawkvah siangpahrang ka bawipa na sanpa e lawk he thai haw. Kai na taran hanelah na lung tha kaawmsakkung hah Bawipa lah awm pawiteh, thuengnae heh coe naseh. Hateiteh, tami lah awm pawiteh, Bawipa hmalah thoebo naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh ni cet lawih, alouke cathutnaw e thaw hah tawk lawih telah ati awh teh, Bawipa e râw talai dawk o hoeh nahanelah sahnin na pâlei awh toe hei.
20 Please don't let me die so far from the presence of the Lord. The king of Israel has come to chase down one little flea, hunting me like someone who hunts a partridge in the mountains.”
Hatdawkvah, ka thipaling teh Bawipa ni hmu hoeh e talai dawk lawng naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tamuem tawng hanelah mon dawk kâva e patetlah Isarel siangpahrang teh uihli tawng hanelah a kâva atipouh.
21 “I've done wrong,” Saul replied, “Come back, David, my son. I won't ever try to harm you again, because you valued me and spared my life today. I've been so stupid! I've made a big mistake!”
Sawl ni ka payon toe ka capa Devit bout ban leih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na mithmu vah ka hringnae he aphu o poung dawkvah thoe bout na bo mahoeh toe. Khenhaw! pathunae hno ka sak teh ka payon toe ati.
22 “I have the king's spear here,” said David. “Send one of your men over to collect it.
Devit ni oe ka bawipa na tahroe khenhaw! na thoundoun buet touh koe bout lat sak atipouh.
23 The Lord rewards all those who do what is right and who are trustworthy. The Lord handed you over to me today, but I refused to harm the Lord's anointed one.
BAWIPA ni tami pueng amamae tahroe hoi yuemkamcunae dawk aphu poe naseh. Sahnin vah Bawipa ni nang hah ka kut dawk na poe, hateiteh Bawipa ni satui awi e tami lathueng vah kut ka tha mahoeh atipouh.
24 In the same way as I valued your life today, may the Lord value my life, and may he rescue me from all my troubles.”
Khenhaw! sahnin vah na hringnae teh ka mithmu vah aphu o e patetlah Bawipa ni ka hringnae hah aphu awm sak naseh. Runae pueng thung hoi na rungngang naseh atipouh.
25 Saul said to David, “May you be blessed, David my son. You will accomplish a great deal and always be successful.” David left, and Saul went back home.
Sawl ni Devit koevah, ka capa Devit, hawinae awm seh. Na sak e hno puengpa dawk tânae na hmawt naseh, telah a dei pouh hnukkhu, Devit teh a ban, Sawl hai a ma onae koe a ban van.
