1 Samuel 26
1 Againe the Ziphims came vnto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doeth not Dauid hide him selfe in the hill of Hachilah before Ieshimon?
Ziphim rhoek loh Gibeah kah Saul te a paan uh tih, “Khopong hmai kah Hakhilah som ah aka thuh uh ke David pawt nim?” a ti uh.
2 Then Saul arose, and went downe to the wildernes of Ziph, hauing three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, for to seeke Dauid in the wildernesse of Ziph.
Te dongah Saul te thoo tih Ziph khosoek ah David tlap ham te Israel kah a coelh hlang thawng thum neh Ziph khosoek la suntla.
3 And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Ieshimon by the way side. Now Dauid abode in the wildernesse, and he sawe that Saul came after him into the wildernesse.
Khopong imdan, Hakhilah som kah longpuei taengah Saul te rhaeh. David tah khosoek ah kho a sak tih Saul loh khosoek la a hnuk a vai te a hmuh.
4 (For Dauid had sent out spies, and vnderstood, that Saul was come in very deede)
David loh longyam a tueih daengah Saul he rhep ha pawk tila a ming.
5 Then Dauid arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched, and when Dauid beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the sonne of Ner which was his chiefe captaine, (for Saul lay in the fort, and the people pitched round about him)
Te dongah David te thoo tih Saul a rhaeh nah hmuen te a pha. Te vaengah Saul neh anih kah caempuei mangpa Ner capa Abner a yalh nah hmuen te David loh a hmuh. Saul te namtlak ah yalh tih a kaep, a kaep ah pilnam loh a rhaeh thil.
6 Then spake Dauid, and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the sonne of Zeruiah, brother to Ioab, saying, Who will go downe with me to Saul to the hoste? Then Abishai said, I will goe downe with thee.
Te dongah David loh a doo tih Khitti Ahimelek neh Joab mana Zeruiah capa Abishai te a dawt. Te dongah, “Rhaehhmuen kah Saul taengla kamah neh ulae aka suntla eh?” a ti nah hatah Abishai loh, “Kai loh nang kan suntlak puei bitni,” a ti nah.
7 So Dauid and Abishai came downe to the people by night: and beholde, Saul lay sleeping within the fort, and his speare did sticke in the ground at his head: and Abner and the people lay round about him.
Te dongah David neh Abishai loh pilnam te khoyin ah a paan. Te vaengah Saul tah namtlak ah muelh yalh tih a caai te a lu, a lu ah diklai la tlaeh. A kaep, a kaep ah Abner neh pilnam te yalh.
8 Then saide Abishai to Dauid, God hath closed thine enemie into thine hande this day: now therefore, I pray thee, let me smite him once with a speare to the earth, and I will not smite him againe.
Te vaengah Abishai loh David te, “Tihnin ah tah na thunkha he Pathen loh na kut dongah han tloeng coeng. Te dongah anih caai neh diklai ah voei at la ka ngawn eh?, anih te ka rhaep mah pawh,” a ti nah.
9 And Dauid sayde to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can lay his hand on the Lordes anoynted, and be giltlesse?
Tedae David loh Abishai te, “Anih te phae boeh, BOEIPA kah a koelh soah ulae a kut aka hlah vetih a hmil uh eh?” a ti nah.
10 Moreouer Dauid said, As the Lord liueth, eyther the Lord shall smite him, or his day shall come to dye, or he shall descend into battel, and perish.
Te phoeiah David loh, “BOEIPA kah hingnah bangla, BOEIPA loh a toel tue ha thoeng vetih duek bitni. Caemtloek la a suntlak vaengah khoengvoep uh bitni.
11 The Lord keepe mee from laying mine hand vpon the Lordes anointed: but, I pray thee, take now the speare that is at his head, and the pot of water, and let vs goe hence.
BOEIPA rhang saeh, BOEIPA kah a koelh te ka kut hlah thil he kai nen tah savisava saeh. Tedae a lu, a lu kah caai neh tui um mah lo mai pawn sih lamtah mamih loh caeh tak sih,” a ti nah.
12 So Dauid tooke the speare and the pot of water from Sauls head, and they gate them away, and no man saw it, nor marked it, neither did any awake, but they were all asleepe: for the Lord had sent a dead sleepe vpon them.
Te dongah Saul lu kah tui um neh caai te David loh a loh pah. Muelh ih ham te BOEIPA loh amih boeih soah a pha sak dongah haenghang uh pawh. Te dongah amih a caeh tak khaw hmu uh pawt tih ming uh pawh.
13 Then Dauid went vnto the other side, and stoode on the toppe of an hill a farre off, a great space being betweene them.
Te phoeiah David te rhalvangan la khat tih a laklo kah muep a hla nah hmuen kah tlang som ah pai.
14 And Dauid cryed to the people, and to Abner the sonne of Ner, saying, Hearest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered, and said, Who art thou that cryest to the King?
Te phoeiah David loh pilnam neh Ner capa Abner te a khue tih, “Abner, na doo mahpawt a?” a ti nah. Te dongah Abner loh a doo tih, “Namah loh ulae manghai la na khue,” a ti nah.
15 And Dauid said to Abner, Art not thou a man? and who is like thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lorde the King? for there came one of the folke in to destroy the King thy lord.
David loh Abner te, “Na hlang pawt nim? Israel khuiah nang bang he unim? Balae tih na boei manghai te na ngaithuen pawh? Na boei rhoek kah manghai te thup hamla pilnam pakhat ha pawk coeng.
16 This is not well done of thee: as the Lord liueth, ye are worthy to dye, because ye haue not kept your master the Lordes Anointed: and now see where the Kings speare is, and the pot of water that was at his head.
Hno na saii te a then moenih. BOEIPA kah hingnah dongah, BOEIPA loh na boei rhoek soah a koelh thil te na ngaithuen pawt dongah na duek ca ngawn sui dae. Tahae ah so lah a lu kah manghai caai neh tui um ta melae,” a ti nah.
17 And Saul knewe Dauids voyce, and sayde, Is this thy voyce, my sonne Dauid? And Dauid sayde, It is my voyce, my lorde O King.
Te vaengah David ol te Saul loh a hmat tih, “Ka ca David nang ol a he?' a ti nah. Te dongah David loh,” Kai ol ni ue, ka boei manghai aw,” a ti nah.
18 And he sayde, Wherefore doeth my lorde thus persecute his seruant? for what haue I done? or what euill is in mine hand?
Te phoeiah, “Ka boeipa long he balae tih a sal hnuk a hloem? Balae ka saii tih, ka kut dongkah he mebang boethae nim?
19 Now therefore, I beseech thee, let my lord the King heare the wordes of his seruant. If the Lord haue stirred thee vp against me, let him smell the sauour of a sacrifice: but if the children of men haue done it, cursed be they before the Lord: for they haue cast me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the Lord, saying, Goe, serue other gods.
Ka boei manghai long khaw a sal ol he ya van laem saeh. BOEIPA loh kai soah nang m'vueh atah khocang he him saeh. Tedae hlang ca rhoek atah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah amih thaephoei thil saeh. BOEIPA rho dongah thawth ham khohnin vaengah kai n'haek tih, “Pathen tloe taengah tho aka thueng te cet laeh,” a ti.
20 Nowe therefore let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the Lord: for the King of Israel is come out to seeke a flea, as one would hunt a partridge in the mountaines.
Israel manghai loh tlang ah varhung aka hloem bangla uihli pakhat tlap ham ha pawk cakhaw BOEIPA mikhmuh mikhmuh lamloh ka thii he lai la tlak sak boel saeh,” a ti nah.
21 Then sayde Saul, I haue sinned: come againe, my sonne Dauid: for I will doe thee no more harme, because my soule was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I haue done foolishly, and haue erred exceedingly.
Saul loh, “Ka ca David ha mael laeh ka tholh oeh coeng. Nang taengah thae koep ka huet voel mahpawh. Ka hinglu he na mikhmuh ah a phutlo dae, tihnin ah ka pavai tih ka palang tangkik aih coeng he,” a ti nah.
22 Then Dauid answered, and saide, Beholde the Kings speare, let one of the yong men come ouer and set it.
Te dongah David loh a doo tih, “Hekah caai he, manghai kah caai ni, tahae ah camoe pakhat loh ham paan saeh lamtah han lo saeh.
23 And let the Lord rewarde euery man according to his righteousnesse and faithfulnesse: for the Lord had deliuered thee into mine handes this day, but I woulde not lay mine hand vpon the Lords anointed.
A duengnah neh a uepomnah te BOEIPA loh hlang taengah thuung nawn saeh. Tihnin ah BOEIPA loh kakut ah nangn'tloeng coeng dae BOEIPA kah a koelh soah ka kut hlah ham ka huem moenih.
24 And beholde, like as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes: so let my life be set by in the eyes of the Lord, that he may deliuer me out of all tribulation.
Tihnin ah na hinglu he ka mikhmuh ah a pantai vanbangla ka hinglu he BOEIPA mikhmuh ah pantai van saeh. Citcai boeih khui lamkah kai he n'huul nawn saeh,” a ti nah.
25 Then Saul said to Dauid, Blessed art thou, my sonne Dauid: for thou shalt doe great things, and also preuaile. So Dauid went his way, and Saul returned to his place.
Te daengah David te Saul loh, “Ka ca David nang tah, na yoethen pai, na saii la na saii coeng atah na noeng rhoela na noeng van,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah David loh amah longpuei ah cet tih Saul khaw amah hmuen la mael.
