< 1 Samuel 19 >
1 And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should slay David; but Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David.
Devit thei hanelah, Sawl ni a capa Jonathan hoi a sannaw koe a dei pouh. Hatei Sawl capa Jonathan ni Devit lung a patawpoung.
2 And Jonathan told David, saying: 'Saul my father seeketh to slay thee; now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself in the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself.
Jonathan ni Devit koe, Apa Sawl ni na thei hane a kâcai. Hatdawkvah amom totouh kâhruetcuet, soumtinae koe kâhrawk.
3 And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will speak with my father of thee; and if I see aught, I will tell thee.'
Ka cei vaiteh na onae law vah apa e ateng ka kangdue han. Nange kong apa hoi kâpan roi han. Ka thai e lawk nang koe ka dei han telah kâhruetcuetnae a poe.
4 And Jonathan spoke good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him: 'Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his work hath been very good towards thee;
Jonathan ni a na pa Sawl koe Devit hah a oup teh, ahni koe siangpahrang ni a san Devit koelah yonnae rumram lah sak hanh naseh. Ahni ni nang koe yonnae sak hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a sak e hnonaw nang hane aphu hroung ao.
5 for he put his life in his hand, and smote the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great victory for all Israel; thou sawest it, and didst rejoice; wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?'
Amae hringnae pasai laipalah, Filistin tami hah a thei. BAWIPA ni kalenpounge tânae Isarelnaw koe a pha sak e na hmu teh na lung ahawi. Hatdawkvah, kayonhoehe a thipaling yon kaawm hoeh e Devit khuet na thei han vaw telah Sawl koe atipouh.
6 And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore: 'As the LORD liveth, he shall not be put to death.'
Sawl ni Jonathan dei e lawk hah a ngai. Sawl ni BAWIPA min dawk thoe a kâbo teh ahni teh thet mahoeh telah a ti.
7 And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as beforetime.
Jonathan ni Devit a kaw teh, hote lawknaw a dei pouh hnukkhu, Devit teh Sawl koe a hrawi teh, ahmoun e patetlah ahni koe bout ao.
8 And there was war again; and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.
Tarankâtuknae bout ao teh, Devit ni Filistinnaw hoi kâtuk hanelah a cei teh tami moikapap a thei.
9 And an evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand.
Sawl ni a im dawk tahroe hoi a tahung nah BAWIPA koehoi e muitha kathout ni a tho sin. Devit ni ratoung a kueng pouh.
10 And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the spear into the wall; and David fled, and escaped that night.
Sawl ni tapang dawk khik kâbet lah a thut hanelah a noe. Hatei Sawl e hmalah hoi a roun thai teh, tahroe tapang dawk moncawm a um. Hottelah Devit a yawng teh hote karum dawk a hlout.
11 And Saul sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning; and Michal David's wife told him, saying: 'If thou save not thy life to-night, to-morrow thou shalt be slain.'
Sawl ni Devit hah im vah pawp vaiteh, thei hanelah amom vah patounenaw a patoun, Devit e a yu Mikhal ni, atu tangmin na hringnae na khenyawn hoehpawiteh, tangtho vah na thei awh han telah atipouh.
12 So Michal let David down through the window; and he went, and fled, and escaped.
Mikhal ni Devit hah hlalangaw dawk hoi a kumsak teh Devit a kâran teh a hlout.
13 And Michal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a quilt of goats' hair at the head thereof, and covered it with a cloth.
Mikhal ni meikaphawk hah a la teh, ikhun dawk a i sak a lû koe lah hmae muen e bawilakhung a hruek teh hni a khu.
14 And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said: 'He is sick.'
Devit man hanelah Sawl ni patounenaw a patoun nah Mikhal ni a tak a pataw atipouh.
15 And Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying: 'Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.'
Sawl ni Devit khet hanelah patounenaw a patoun teh ka thei thai nahan a ikhun hoi kâ ka yawn awh atipouh.
16 And when the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the quilt of goats' hair at the head thereof.
Patounenaw a kâen awh navah a ikhun dawk meikaphawk a lû koelah hmae muen ka lahoung e a hmu awh.
17 And Saul said unto Michal: 'Why hast thou deceived me thus, and let mine enemy go, that he is escaped?' And Michal answered Saul: 'He said unto me: Let me go; why should I kill thee?'
Sawl ni Mikhal koevah kai hah bangkongmaw hete lah na dum, a hlout nahanelah ka taran na tâco sak atipouh. Mikhal ni ahni ni kai hanelah kai na cetsak haw, nahoeh pawiteh na thei han telah ati telah Sawl koe a dei pouh.
18 Now David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.
Devit teh yout a yawng teh a hlout. Ramah kho Samuel koe a pha. Ahni koe Sawl ni a sak e pueng a dei pouh. Samuel hoi a cei roi teh Naioth vah ao.
19 And it was told Saul, saying: 'Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.'
Sawl koe Devit teh Ramah kho hoi Naioth hmuen koe ao telah a dei pouh.
20 And Saul sent messengers to take David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
Devit man hanelah Sawl ni a patounenaw bout a patoun, lawk ka dei e profet hu touh dueng hah a hmu awh. Samuel a kangdue teh, profetnaw a hrawi nah Cathut e Muitha ni Sawl e patounenaw lathueng a pha pouh teh, ahnimouh hai profet lawk a dei awh.
21 And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
Ahnimouh ni hote a kong hah Sawl koe a dei pouh awh navah, Sawl ni alouke a patounenaw bout a patoun. Ahnimouh hai profet lawk a dei awh. Sawl ni apâthum lah patounenaw bout a patoun nah, ahnimouh hai profet lawk a dei awh.
22 Then went he also to Ramah, and came to the great cistern that is in Secu; and he asked and said: 'Where are Samuel and David?' And one said: 'Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.'
Sawl ama hai Ramah kho a cei teh, Seku e tuiim kalen poung koe a pha nah, Samuel hoi Devit na maw ao telah a pacei nah Ramah kho Naioth hmuen koe ao telah tami buet touh ni a dei pouh.
23 And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah; and the spirit of God came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
Sawl teh Ramah kho Naioth hmuen koe lah a cei. Cathut e Muitha ahnie lathueng vah a pha van, a cei laihoi profet lawk Ramah kho hoi Naioth hmuen koe a pha totouh a dei.
24 And he also stripped off his clothes, and he also prophesied before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say: 'Is Saul also among the prophets?'
A khohna e rading teh, Samuel e a hmalah profet lawk a dei. Karum khodai hote hnin dawk caici lah a i. Hatdawkvah, ahnimouh ni Sawl hai profetnaw koe ka bawk e namaw telah ati awh.
