1 Samuel 20
1 And Dauid fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and sayd before Ionathan, What haue I done? what is mine iniquitie? and what sinne haue I committed before thy father, that he seeketh my life?
David te Ramah kah Naioth lamloh yong tih Jonathan taengla a pha vaengah, “Balae ka saii tih kai kah thaesainah he balae? Na pa mikhmuh ah kai kah mebang tholhnah lae aka om tih ka hinglu he a tlap,” a ti nah.
2 And he sayde vnto him, God forbid, thou shalt not die: beholde, my father will do nothing great nor small, but he will shewe it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? he will not doe it.
Te dongah Jonathan loh, “Savisava la, na duek mahpawh, kai hna ah ham phoe pawt atah hno yit, hno len akhaw a pa loh saii rhoe saii pawt oe. Tahae kah olka he balae tih a pa loh kai taeng lamloh a thuh, hekah he a hong pawt nim,” a ti nah.
3 And Dauid sware againe and sayd, Thy father knoweth that I haue found grace in thine eyes: therefore he thinketh, Ionathan shall not knowe it, lest he be sorie: but in deede, as the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, there is but a step betweene me and death.
Tedae David loh koep a toem a ngam tih, “Na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang te na pa loh a ming rhoe a ming ta, Jonathan a ming sak pawt he a kothae ve a ti dongah ni. BOEIPA kah hingnah rhangneh na hinglu khaw hingnah om dae kai laklo neh dueknah laklo he khokan kan at mai ni,” a ti nah.
4 Then said Ionathan vnto Dauid, Whatsoeuer thy soule requireth, that I wil do vnto thee.
Jonathan loh David te, “Mebang khaw na hinglu te dawt uh lamtah nang ham kan saii eh,” a ti nah.
5 And Dauid said vnto Ionathan, Behold, to morowe is the first day of the moneth, and I shoulde sit with the King at meate: but let me goe, that I may hide my selfe in the fieldes vnto the third day at euen.
Te dongah David loh Jonathan taengah, “Thangvuen he hlasae coeng ni ne, kai tah buh ca la manghai taengah ka ngol rhoe ka ngol ham om. Tedae kai n'tueih lamtah a thum hlaem duela kohong ah ka thuh uh mai eh.
6 If thy father make mention of me, then say, Dauid asked leaue of me, that he might goe to Beth-lehem to his owne citie: for there is a yeerely sacrifice for all that familie.
Na pa loh kai hah n'toem tih, ‘David te a cako boeih ham hmueih tue a om dongah amah kho Bethlehem la yong ham kai taengah n'dawt tih a bih,’ ti nah.
7 And if he say thus, It is well, thy seruant shall haue peace: but if he be angrie, be sure that wickednesse is concluded of him.
Tete then a ti atah na sal he sading la om ni. Tedae anih te sai la sai mai koinih anih te yoethaenah neh rhoeh coeng tila ming laeh.
8 So shalt thou shew mercy vnto thy seruant: for thou hast ioyned thy seruant into a couenant of the Lord with thee, and if there be in me iniquitie, slay thou me: for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?
Tedae BOEIPA kah paipi rhangneh na sal taengah sitlohnah khueh mai. Na sal he namah taengla khuen mai. Thaesainah he ni ka khuiah a om atah kai he namah loh n'duek sak, bahamlae na pa taengla kai nan thak eh?” a ti nah.
9 And Ionathan answered, God keepe that from thee: for if I knewe that wickednesse were concluded of my father to come vpon thee, would not I tell it thee?
Jonathan loh, “Nang nen tah savisava, a pa loh boethae neh a hah te ka ming la ka ming atah nang taengla pahoi ka pawk tih namah taengah ka puen moenih a,” a ti nah.
10 Then said Dauid to Ionathan, Who shall tell me? how shall I knowe, if thy father answere thee cruelly?
David loh Jonathan te, “Na pa loh namah te mangkhak la m'voek koinih ulae kai taengla aka puen eh?” a ti nah.
11 And Ionathan sayde to Dauid, Come and let vs goe out into the fielde: and they twaine went out into the fielde.
Te dongah David te Jonathan loh, “Ceh, kohong la cet sih,” a ti nah tih kohong la bok cet rhoi.
12 Then Ionathan sayde to Dauid, O Lord God of Israel, when I haue groped my fathers minde to morow at this time, or within this three dayes, and if it be well with Dauid, and I then send not vnto thee, and shewe it thee,
Te vaengah Jonathan loh David te, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA rhangneh thangvuen a thum hnin ah a pa te rhep ka khe lah eh. Te vaengah David ham a then neh a then pawt khaw nang taengla kan tah vetih na hna kan cah bitni.
13 The Lord doe so and much more vnto Ionathan: but if my father haue minde to doe thee euill, I will shew thee also, and sende thee away, that thou mayest goe in peace: and the Lord be with thee as he hath bene with my father.
Jonathan taengah he BOEIPA loh han saii saeh lamtah hang khoep nawn saeh. Nang taengah boethae ham te a pa loh a hue oeh atah na hna ah kan yaak sak vetih namah taengah ol kan tah bitni. Te vaengah sading la na cet bitni. A pa taengah a om bangla nang taengah khaw BOEIPA om saeh.
14 Likewise I require not whiles I liue: for I dout not but thou wilt shew me the mercy of the Lord, that I die not.
Tedae kai he phat ka hing pawt atah BOEIPA kah sitlohnah te kai taengah saii boeh. Tedae kai ka duek vailaih moenih.
15 But I require that thou cut not off thy mercie from mine house for euer: no, not when the Lord hath destroyed the enemies of Dauid, euery one from the earth.
Na sitlohnah te ka imkhui dong lamloh kumhal duela haih boeh. BOEIPA loh David kah thunkha rhoek te diklai hman kah hlang lamloh a haih vaengah pataeng haih boel saeh,” a ti nah.
16 So Ionathan made a bond with the house of Dauid, saying, Let the Lord require it at the hands of Dauids enemies.
Te phoeiah Jonathan loh David imkhui neh paipi a saii tih, “Thunkha kut lamkah David te BOEIPA loh toem nawn saeh,” a ti.
17 And againe Ionathan sware vnto Dauid, because he loued him (for he loued him as his owne soule)
David taengah a khueh lungnah tetah amah hinglu a lungnah vaengkah lungnah la a om dongah Jonathan loh koep a rhaep tih ol a caeng.
18 Then said Ionathan to him, To morowe is the first day of the moneth: and thou shalt be looked for, for thy place shalbe emptie.
Te dongah Jonathan loh, “Thangvuen he hlasae la om tih na ngolhmuen tah hoeng vetih n'toem pawn ni.
19 Therefore thou shalt hide thy selfe three dayes, then thou shalt goe downe quickely and come to the place where thou diddest hide thy selfe, when this matter was in hand, and shalt remayne by the stone Ezel.
A thum hnin ah koe suntla lamtah na thuh hmuen la ana cet. Te vaengah hnin kah bibi neh Ezel lungto taengah ana om ne.
20 And I will shoote three arrowes on the side thereof, as though I shot at a marke.
Te vaengah kai loh thaltang pathum te a hael kah ka kutnoek dongah kah hamla kan thuinuet bitni.
21 And after I wil sende a boy, saying, Goe, seeke the arrowes. If I say vnto the boy, See, the arrowes are on this side thee, bring them, and come thou: for it is well with thee and no hurt, as the Lord liueth.
Te phoeiah cet vetih thaltang aka so ham camoe kan tueih ni ne. Camoe te, ‘Na taengkah thaltang rhoek te hela hang khuen,’ ka ti la ka ti coeng atah ha mop phai laeh. BOEIPA kah hingnah dongah nang ham sadingnah la om vetih olka la om mahpawh.
22 But if I say thus vnto the boy, Behold, the arrowes are beyonde thee, goe thy way: for the Lord hath sent thee away.
Tedae camoe te, ‘Na taengkah thaltang te voelh caeh tak,’ ka ti atah BOEIPA long ni nang n'tueih coeng.
23 As touching the thing which thou and I haue spoken of, beholde, the Lord be betweene thee and me for euer.
Tahae ah nang neh kai loh olka n'thui vanbangla kai laklo neh nang laklo ah kumhal duela BOEIPA om coeng ne,” a ti nah.
24 So Dauid hid him selfe in the field: and when the first day of the moneth came, the King sate to eate meate.
Te dongah David tah kohong la thuh uh. Hlasae a pha vaengah buh ca la buh kungah manghai ngol.
25 And the King sate, as at other times vpon his seate, euen vpon his seate by the wall: and Ionathan arose, and Abner sate by Sauls side, but Dauids place was emptie.
A noek noek kah bangla amah ngolhmuen, pangbueng taengkah ngolhmuen dongah manghai te ngol. Te phoeiah Jonathan te thoo tih Saul kaep ah Abner ngol. Tedae David kah a hmuen tah vik hoeng.
26 And Saul sayde nothing that day: for hee thought, Some thing hath befallen him, though he were cleane, or els becaus he was not purified.
Te vaengah a hmuet a hma te cim caih pawh a ti dongah tekah khohnin ah tah Saul he kamat khaw cal pawh.
27 But on the morowe which was the second day of the moneth, Dauids place was emptie againe: and Saul sayde vnto Ionathan his sonne, Wherefore commeth not the sonne of Ishai to meate, neither yesterday nor to day?
Tedae hlasae vuen a pha vaengah tah David kah a hmuen te a pabae la hoeng bal. Te dongah Saul loh a capa Jonathan taengah, “Jesse capa he balae tih hlaem ah khaw, tihnin ah khaw buh kung la ha mop pawh,” a ti nah.
28 And Ionathan answered vnto Saul, Dauid required of me, that he might goe to Beth-lehem.
Te dongah Jonathan loh Saul te, “Bethlehem la caeh ham te David loh kai taengah a bih ngawn tah a bih.
29 For he sayde, Let me goe, I pray thee: for our familie offreth a sacrifice in the citie, and my brother hath sent for me: therfore now if I haue found fauour in thine eyes, let me goe, I pray thee, and see my brethren: this is the cause that he commeth not vnto the Kings table.
Te vaengah, ‘Kho khuiah kaimih cako kah hmueih a om dongah kai khaw ka mop vetih ka maya ka uen dae ni. Na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ni ka dang van coeng atah ka poeng ka hal mai saeh lamtah ka manuca rhoek te ka hmu mai eh,’ a ti. Te dongah ni manghai kah caboei taengla ha mop pawh,” a ti nah.
30 Then was Saul angrie with Ionathan, and sayde vnto him, Thou sonne of the wicked rebellious woman, doe not I know, that thou hast chosen the sonne of Ishai to thy confusion, and to the confusion and shame of thy mother?
Te vaengah Saul kah a thintoek loh Jonathan taengah sai tih, “Boekoek paihaeh capa, namah kah yahpohnah ham neh na nu kah a yah te yahpohnah ham Jesse capa taengah na kibaeng te ka ming moenih a?
31 For as long as the sonne of Ishai liueth vpon the earth, thou shalt not be stablished, nor thy kingdome: wherefore now send and fet him vnto me, for he shall surely die.
Jesse capa te diklai ah a hing khuiah namah khaw na ram na thoh thai mahpawh. Te dongah anih te ol tah lamkah kai taengla hang khuen, amah te duek ca kangna saeh,” a ti nah.
32 And Ionathan answered vnto Saul his father, and said vnto him, Wherefore shall he die? what hath he done?
Tedae Jonathan loh a napa Saul te a doo tih, “Balae tih anih te a duek eh? Balae a saii tih?” a ti nah.
33 And Saul cast a speare at him to hit him, whereby Ionathan knew, that it was determined of his father to slay Dauid.
Te vaengah anih ngawn hamla Saul loh a taengkah caai neh a khoh. Te daengah David duek sak ham a napa loh a taeng te Jonathan loh a ming.
34 So Ionathan arose from the table in a great anger, and did eate no meate the seconde day of the moneth: for he was sorie for Dauid, and because his father had reuiled him.
Te dongah Jonathan khaw caboei dong lamloh thintoek thinling neh thoo tih hlasae a pabae khohnin kah buh te ca pawh. David ham a kothae tih a napa ham a hmaithae.
35 On the next morning therefore Ionathan than went out into the fielde, at the time appoynted with Dauid, and a litle boy with him.
David kah tingtunnah ham mincang a pha vaengah Jonathan tah amah taengkah cadong ca neh kohong la cet.
36 And he saide vnto his boy, Runne now, seeke the arrowes which I shoote, and as the boy ran, he shot an arrowe beyond him.
Te vaengah a taengkah cadong te, “Yong lamtah kai loh thaltang kan thuinuet te so laeh,” a ti nah. Camoe te a yong phai vaengah amah a thuinuet palaa te a poeng.
37 And when the boy was come to the place where the arrowe was that Ionathan had shot, Ionathan cryed after the boy, and sayde, Is not the arrowe beyond thee?
Jonathan kah palaa a thuinuet nah hmuen te camoe loh a pha vaengah, Jonathan loh camoe te a hnuk longah a khue tih, “Nang taengah palaa om pawt tih voelh cet coeng nama?” a ti nah.
38 And Ionathan cryed after the boy, Make speede, haste and stand not still: and Ionathans boy gathered vp the arrowes, and came to his master,
Te phoeiah Jonathan loh cadong te a hnuk longah, “A loe la tawn uh lamtah pai boeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah palaa thaltang te Jonathan kah camoe loh a rhuh tih a boei taengla ha pawk.
39 But the boy knewe nothing: onely Ionathan and Dauid knew the matter.
Te vaengkah olka te Jonathan neh David bueng loh a ming dae camoe longtah pakhat khaw ming pawh.
40 Then Ionathan gaue his bowe and arrowes vnto the boy that was with him, and sayd vnto him, Goe, carrie them into the citie.
A hno a pai te Jonathan loh amah taengkah camoe taengla a paek tih, “Cet lamtah khopuei khuila khuen laeh,” a ti nah.
41 Assoone as the boy was gone, Dauid arose out of a place that was towarde the South, and fel on his face to the ground, and bowed him selfe three times: and they kissed one another, and wept both twaine, till Dauid exceeded.
Camoe a khum neh David te tuithim ben lamkah ha moe. Te vaengah a tal neh diklai la bakop tih voei thum a bawk. Pakhat loh a hui patoeng a mok uh rhoi vaengah pakhat loh a hui patoeng taengah rhap rhoi tih David te nah.
42 Therefore Ionathan said to Dauid, Goe in peace: that which we haue sworne both of vs in the Name of the Lord, saying, The Lord be betweene me and thee, and betweene my seede and betweene thy seede, let it stand for euer. And he arose and departed, and Ionathan went into the citie.
Te phoeiah David te Jonathan loh, “BOEIPA ming neh mamih rhoi loh n'toemngam tih, ‘Kai laklo neh nang laklo ah, kai tiingan laklo neh nang kah tiingan laklo ah kumhal duela BOEIPA om,’ n'ti dongah ngaimong la cet ne,” a ti nah.
