1 Samuel 24
1 When Saul was turned from ye Philistims, they told him, saying, Behold, Dauid is in the wildernes of En-gedi.
Philisti hnuk lamloh Saul a mael van neh a taengla puen uh tih, “Engedi khosoek ah David om ke,” a ti nah.
2 Then Saul tooke three thousande chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seeke Dauid and his men vpon the rocks among the wilde goates.
Te dongah Saul loh Israel boeih khui lamkah hlang coelh thawng thum te a khuen tih sathai lungpang dan kah David neh a hlang rhoek te tlap ham cet.
3 And hee came to the sheepecoates by the way where there was a caue, and Saul went in to do his easement: and Dauid and his men sate in the inward parts of the caue.
Saul loh boiva kah tanglung longpuei kaep te a paan. Te vaengah lungko tapkhoeh a om dongah a kho khuk hamla Saul loh a kun thil. Te vaengah David neh a hlang rhoek tah lungko kah a hlaep ah om uh.
4 And the men of Dauid said vnto him, See, the day is come, whereof the Lord sayde vnto thee, Beholde, I will deliuer thine enemie into thine hande, and thou shalt doe to him as it shall seeme good to thee. Then Dauid arose and cut off the lap of Sauls garment priuily.
Te vaengah David kah hlang rhoek loh, “BOEIPA loh nang taengah, 'Tihnin ah Na thunkha, na thunkha te na kut dongla kai loh kam paek coeng he,’ a ti he. Te dongah na mik neh then na ti bangla anih te saii laeh,” a ti nauh. Te dongah David te thoo tih Saul kah hnikul hmoi te a muel la a hlueng pah.
5 And afterward Dauid was touched in his heart, because he had cut off the lappe which was on Sauls garment.
Saul kah hni hmoi a hlueng pah dongah David khaw a lungbuei loh a ngawn van.
6 And he said vnto his men, The Lord keepe mee from doing that thing vnto my master the Lords Anoynted, to lay mine hand vpon him: for he is the Anoynted of the Lord.
Te dongah a hlang rhoek taengah, “Anih he BOEIPA kah a koelh la om tih BOEIPA kah a koelh ka boei taengah ka kut thueng thil ham hno he ka saii aya? Te bang te BOEIPA taengah kai lamkah tah savisava,” a ti nah.
7 So Dauid ouercame his seruants with these words, and suffered them not to arise against Saul: so Saul rose vp out of the caue and went away.
Tedae a hlang rhoek te David loh ol neh a daeh tih amih loh Saul a tlai uh thil ham khaw ngaih puei pawh. Saul ngawn tah lungko lamloh thoo tih longpuei te a paan.
8 Dauid also arose afterward, and went out of the caue, and cryed after Saul, saying, O my lorde the King. And when Saul looked behinde him, Dauid inclined his face to the earth, and bowed himselfe.
Te phoeiah David khaw thoo van tih lungko, longko ah cet. Saul te a hnuk longah a khue tih, “Ka boeipa manghai aw,” a ti nah. Te dongah Saul loh a hnuk la a paelki. Te vaengah David loh a tal neh diklai la buluk tih a bawk.
9 And Dauid saide to Saul, Wherefore giuest thou an eare to mens words, that say, Behold, Dauid seeketh euill against thee?
David loh Saul te, “Hlang loh, 'David loh nang kah a thae ni a tlap ke,’ a ti ol te ba ham lae na hnatun.
10 Behold, this day thine eyes haue seene, that the Lord had deliuered thee this day into mine hand in the caue, and some bade me kill thee, but I had compassion on thee, and said, I will not lay mine hande on my master: for he is the Lordes Anoynted.
Ti hnin ah na mik loh a hmuh coeng he. Ti hnin ah lungko khuiah ni nang he BOEIPA loh ka kut dongla m'paek coeng tih nang te ngawn ham pataeng a thui coeng. Tedae nang te kang rhen dongah, 'Ka boeipa he ka kut ka hlah thil boel eh. Anih tah BOEIPA kah a koelh ni, ' ka ti.
11 Moreouer my father, behold: behold, I say, the lappe of thy garment in mine hand: for when I cut off the lappe of thy garment, I killed thee not. Vnderstad and see, that there is neither euil nor wickednesse in mee, neither haue I sinned against thee, yet thou huntest after my soule to take it.
A pa so lah he, ka kut dongkah na hnikul hmoi he so. Na hnikul hmoi ka ah dae nang kang ngawn pawt te ming. Ka kut dongah boethae neh boekoek a om pawt te khaw hmuh. Nang soah ka tholh pawt dae nang longtah ka hinglu loh ham na rhaem.
12 The Lord be iudge betweene thee and me, and the Lord auenge me of thee, and let not mine hand be vpon thee.
Kai laklo neh nang laklo ah BOEIPA loh laitloek nawn saeh. Nang lamkah kah khaw BOEIPA loh kai taengah phulo nawn saeh. Tedae ka kut loh nang n'cuuk thil boel saeh.
13 According as the olde prouerbe sayeth, Wickednesse proceedeth from the wicked, but mine hand be not vpon thee.
Yan kah loh a thui vanbangla halang lamloh halangnah ni a thoeng. Te dongah ka kut loh nang n'cuuk thil boel saeh.
14 After whom is the King of Israel come out? after whome doest thou pursue? after a dead dog, and after a flea?
Israel manghai loh ulae a thoeng thil? U hnuk lae na hloem? Ui duek hnuk neh uihli hnuk a?
15 The Lord therfore be iudge, and iudge betweene thee and me, and see, and pleade my cause, and deliuer me out of thine hand.
Te dongah BOEIPA he laitloekkung la om saeh lamtah kai laklo neh nang laklo ah laitloek nawn saeh. Ka tuituknah khaw hmu saeh lamtah ho saeh. Nang kut lamkah pataeng kai n'tang sak nawn saeh,” a ti nah.
16 Whe Dauid had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, Saul sayd, Is this thy voyce, my sonne Dauid? and Saul lift vp his voice, and wept,
Hekah ol he David loh Saul taengah a thui boeih phoeiah tah Saul loh, “Ka ca David nang ol dae a?” a ti nah. Te phoeiah Saul loh a ol a huel tih rhap.
17 And sayd to Dauid, Thou art more righteous then I: for thou hast rendred me good, and I haue rendred thee euill.
Te phoeiah David te, “Nang tah kai lakah na dueng. Nang loh kai taengah hnothen neh nan thuung vaengah kai loh nang taengah boethae neh kan thuung.
18 And thou hast shewed this day, that thou hast dealt well with me: forasmuch as when the Lord had closed me in thine hands, thou killedst me not.
Tihnin kah na phoe vanbangla kai taengah a then ni na saii pai. Kai he nang kut dongah BOEIPA loh n'det coeng dae kai nang ngawn pawh.
19 For who shall finde his enemie, and let him depart free? wherefore the Lord render thee good for that thou hast done vnto me this day.
Hlang pakhat loh a thunkha te a hmuh coeng atah longpuei ah a then la a tueih a? Tihnin ah kai taengah na saii te BOEIPA loh nang taengah a then neh n'thuung saeh.
20 For now behold, I know that thou shalt be King, and that the kingdome of Israel shall be stablished in thine hand.
Manghai rhoela na manghai vetih na kut ah Israel ram pai ni tila ka ming coeng ne.
21 Sweare now therfore vnto me by the Lord, that thou wilt not destroy my seede after me, and that thou wilt not abolish my name out of my fathers house.
Te dongah kamah hnukah ka tii ka ngan na saii pawt ham neh, kai ming te a pa imkhui lamloh na diil sak pawt ham BOEIPA minh neh kamah taengah toemngam laeh,” a ti nah.
22 So Dauid sware vnto Saul, and Saul went home: but Dauid and his men went vp vnto ye hold.
Te dongah David loh Saul taengah ol a caeng. Te phoeiah Saul te amah im la cet tih David neh a hlang rhoek tah rhalvong la cet uh.
