1 Samuel 14
1 NOW it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines’ garrison, that is on the other side. But he told not his father.
Nikhat hi Jonathan in agal manchah polea pangpa koma, “Hungin Philistine sepaiho umna langa khun galkai hite,” ati. Ahinlah Jonathan in, ipi abol ding chu apa henga ana hetsah pon ahi.
2 And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men;
Phat chomkhat jouvin, Saul in mi jagup chu Gibeah khopi pamlanga Migron muna kolbuthei phung vella chun anakhom khom’in ahi.
3 And Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, I-chabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the Lord’s priest in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.
Saul miho lah’a chu Ahijah chun thempu von ephod chu akivon in ahi. Ahijah chu Ichabod sopipa Ahituh chapa ahin, Ahituh chu Phinehas chapa, Shiloh’a um Eli chapa Pathen thempu tupa ahi. Joathan in Israelte ngahmun adalhai ti koiman ahetlou ahi.
4 And between the passages, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the Philistines’ garrison, there was a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
Philisitne te ngahmun lutna dia chu Jonathan in lampi jet le veiya songpi kochet chut khat gel aumin, songpi khatpa min chu Bozez ahin, khatjopa chu amin Seneh ahi.
5 The forefront of the one was situate northward over against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah.
Sahlama a songpi khat aum in, khatjoh Micmash lhanglam a um, Geba lam angat gel ahi lhone.
6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the Lord will work for us: for there is no restraint to the Lord to save by many or by few.
Hichun Jonathan in, “Hiche cheptan lou sepai ho ngahmun lah’a khun cheuhite, Pakiyin eini eikithopeh tei lhon ding ahi, ajeh chu Pakai chu koiman atin jouthei loudi ahi, Aman gal eijosah teidiu ahi, lhomcha hijongleu hen ijotei diu ahi,” ati.
7 And his armourbearer said unto him, Do all that is in thine heart: turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.
Hichun gollhang agavon popan, “Ipi hile phante natipen chu boljengin, chule keima nakoma kaumnai, nagellhuh bangin bol jengin,” tin adonbut in ahi.
8 Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto these men, and we will discover ourselves unto them.
Jonathan in, “Achutile aphalheh’e, eini galut hitin, amaho gakimu sah hite,” ati.
9 If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto them.
Ahinla amahon, ‘Naum na lhonah dingden lhon’in achuti louva ahileh katha diu ahi atiuva ahile ikaltou lou ding,
10 But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go up: for the Lord hath delivered them into our hand: and this shall be a sign unto us.
Ahinlah, ‘Hung kaltou lhon in kisat ute’ atiuva ahileh ikaltou lhon ding ahin, hichu Pakaiya kona melchihna khat hiding ahin aman eikithopi lhon’a i-jo lhon ding ahi,” ati.
11 And both of them discovered themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.
Chuin Philistine ten amu phat un ahoh un, “Veuvin, Hebrew miho akosunga konin ahung potdoh tauve atiuve.”
12 And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armourbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his armourbearer, Come up after me: for the Lord hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.
Chuin khopi ngah a umpa chun Jonathan ahin sam’in, “Hichea hungkal tou in, thil khat navetsah unge atiuve,” ati. Chuin Jonathan in agalvon popa jah’ah, “Hungin hungkal touvin, Pathen’in eipanpi lhona ijotei lhon ding ahi!” ati.
13 And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armourbearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armourbearer slew after him.
Chuin amanin akhut le akeng atholhon in akaltou lhon ahile, Philistine mite chu Jonathan masanga abokhuma asot lhah jengle, anung’ahung kaltou agalvon popan ana that-thuthu jeng in ahi.
14 And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were an half acre of land, which a yoke of oxen might plow.
Amanin, mi somni athat lhon in, atahsa u chu acre keh khat’a len sung ‘ah athethang lhone.
15 And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling.
Hitichun gangtah’in, Philistine te gamsung ho lahle camp jousea thusoh chu ahung kithang soh tan, loujaova mipi holah le mijouse lah’a chun tijat na nasatah in aumtan, sepai hon hole thilchom hojong ati akihot hot’un chule ling jong akihot’e.
16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on beating down one another.
Chuin Saul in Gibeah Benjamin gamlang agal-lang chu avet’a ahile Philistine mite simsenlou chu muntin gamtin ah ajam cheh gam tauvin ahi.
17 Then said Saul unto the people that were with him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there.
Saul in asepai te jah’a thu apen, “Min kou unlang, koi koi um’a, koi koi umlou ham,” ati. Hitia chu akihol ule Jonathan le agal manchah popa aum tapon ahi.
18 And Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel.
Chuin Saul chu Ahijah chunga alunghang in, “Pathen thingkong chu hilam’ah hin choiyun,” ati. Hiche nikhoa chu Ahijah chu thempu von’in akivon in Pathen thingkong chu Isarelte masang’a aput ahi.
19 And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the priest, that the noise that was in the host of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thine hand.
Ahin Saul thempupa toh aki houlim sungse chun Philistine ngahmun sunga chun boina ahaginjep jep’in ahi. Hichun Saul in thempupa jah’a, “Imacha akhohpoi chejom jingo hite,” ati.
20 And Saul and all the people that were with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle: and, behold, every man’s sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.
Chuin Saul le asepaite chu galmuna ahin nokhum ule Philistine mite chu ama hole amaho akithat to tauvin, boina le kihet khelna nasatah asoh tan ahi.
21 Moreover the Hebrews that were with the Philistines before that time, which went up with them into the camp from the country round about, even they also turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan.
Chule tumasang’a Hebrew mi Philistine mite lah’a ana jamlut hojong chu Saul, Jonathan le Israel lah’a adang dang ho langa ahung kiheilut jong aumin ahi.
22 Likewise all the men of Israel which had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.
Hitichun, Ephraim molsanga ana kisel Israelte jouse chun Philistine te ajam tauve tithu ajah phat un, amaho jong chun galsat na a chun hatah’in anung’u adel’in ahi.
23 So the Lord saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over unto Beth-aven.
Chuti chun hiche nikho chun Pakaiyin ami Israelte ahuhdoh in chule gal kisat chu Beth-aven geijin gal akisat peh’un ahi.
24 And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted any food.
Hiche nikho chun Israelte chu alung genthei lheh un ahi, ajeh chu, “Saul in kamelmate phu kalah theina ding in, nilhah ahi kahsea an nea chu sapset changhen tia mipi chu akihahsel sah ahi.” Hijeh a chu sun nilhum keiya koima anne umlou ahi.
25 And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground.
Hijeh chun, amahon gamlah lampia chu khoibel khat ana um amu vang’un koiman anepouvin ahi.
26 And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath.
Chuin khoiju chu mipi koima chan ana ne ngam pouvin ahi. Ajeh chu kihahsel na uchu akichat’u ahi.
27 But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.
Ahinlah Jonathan in apa thupeh chu ana jahlou jeh’in, atenggol muh’in khoiphang khat agah sun in, agah tepma ahile, atha akido ma ma jeng in ahi.
28 Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food this day. And the people were faint.
Ahin mikhat in hichu ana mudoh in, “Napan mipi nasatah’a eigihsal uva, tunia nilhum masanga an-nea mi chu sapset changhen tia eigaosap jeh uva koiman ka neh lou u ahi, hijeh a chu mipi jong hung lhasam ah ahi,” ati.
29 Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.
Chuin Jonathan in, “Kapan gamsung hi agenthei sah ahi. Hitobang thupeh chun eiho ma ma eisuhgenthei u ahi. Ven hiche khoiju chu themkhat katep jeh’a kamit hi iti hunghah doh hitam?” ati.
30 How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?
Mipi jonghin amelmateu thil achom nauva amuhou hi aning anopmin nomtah’in nele phachom lou ding ham? Hijeh a chu eihon tuni geija Philistine te tamtah itha theilou-u hilouham? ati.
31 And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were very faint.
Chule hiche ni chun Micmash a kipat Aijalon geijin Philistine techu anung adel’un athat peh’un chule mipi chu alhasam lheh jeng tauvin ahi.
32 And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people did eat them with the blood.
Chuin mipi chu thil kichomho chunga achuvin, kelgoiho, bongchalho, bongnouho, chu tollhanga athat’un thisan pum chun aneuvin ahi.
33 Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the Lord, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone unto me this day.
Mikhat in Saul jah’a, “Mihon sa thisan pumin aneuvin Pakai dounan achonse tauve,” tin anasei doh peh un ahi. Chuin Saul in, “Nathilbol’u chu adihlou ahi, songtum lentah khat kihol’unlang kilih piuvin,” ati.
34 And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against the Lord in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there.
Saul in aseibe kit’in, “Sepai ho lah’a khun chelut unlang a gancha u, akelngoi u, akelcha u jong kaheng’ah hin choiyun. Hichelai muna hin that’unlang chule naneh masang’un athisan chu lhoh kang hel un, Asa le thisan nehkop jeh’a Pathen dounan chon dauvin,” ati.
35 And Saul built an altar unto the Lord: the same was the first altar that he built unto the Lord.
Chuin Saul in, Pakaiya ding in maicham asemin, hiche maicham chu Saul in Pakaiya dinga maicham asem masat pentah ahi.
36 And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God.
Chuin Saul in amite koma, “Eihon janteng kitolsuh uhitin Philistine te nung del uhitin, khovah kah’in amaho chu thatgam uhitin chomgam u hite,” ati. Hichun mipi jong, “Pha nasah sah chu bol jengin,’ atiuve. Ahivangin Thempupan, “Pathen dong masaute,” ahinti.
37 And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day.
Chuin Saul in Pathen adonge “Philistine te nung kadal diu ham? Kajo nadiuva nei panpi diuham? Ahinlah hiche nichun Pathen in adonbut tapoi.
38 And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the chief of the people: and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.
Chuin Saul in lamkaiho koma aseijin, “Adih lou khat aumtai! Galmi lamkai jouse hikoma hung un. Tunia ipi suhkhel ineijum? Kikhol uhite chonset hi hoilaiya umham? Hinkhol doh un.
39 For, as the Lord liveth, which saveth Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people that answered him.
Ajeh chu Israel huhhing'a hingjing Pakai mina kasei ahi, kachapa Jonathan chunga um ahi jongle ama jeng jong thonlou hel’a thitei teiding ahi,” ati. Ahinla mipiho jouse lah’a kona ipia kona boiham ti koiman aseipoi.
40 Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good unto thee.
Chuin Saul in aseijin, “Nangho lang khat ah um unlang, keile kachapa Jonathan lang khat ah um lhon inge,” ati. Chule mipiten Saul koma chun, “Phante tia nagel chu aphapen ahi,” ati.
41 Therefore Saul said unto the Lord God of Israel, Give a perfect lot. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped.
Chuin Saul ataovin, “Oh Pakai Israelte Pathen, koihi dih’a, koihi dihlou hitam neisei peh’un,’ ati. Hichun vang asan ule Jonathan le Saul lhendoh ahung hin, hijeh chun mipi techu ahoidoh tai.
42 And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.
Chuin Saul in, “Tun vang sang kit uhitin keile Jonathan kah’a dingin,” Tun Jonathan chu athemmon hung kilang doh tai.
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in mine hand, and, lo, I must die.
“Ipi nabolkhel ham nei sei peh in?” hiti chun Saul in Jonathan koma adong in ahi. “Khoiju themkhat kana tep ahi,” thi Jonathan akiphong doh’e. “Tenggol muh’a themcha khat bou, hichun thina asotheiye,” atipeh in ahi.
44 And Saul answered, God do so and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.
Saul in “Henge Jonathan, nathi tei ding ahi! nathi loule kei neita ding ahi.” Tin aseiyin ahi.
45 And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? God forbid: as the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not.
Ahin mipiten Saul komah, “Jonathan in Israel dia gal lentah eijopeh u ahin, Jonathan hi thiding ham?’ tin anadongui. Hichu ahiding ahile, Pathen in jadahen, hingjing Pakai mina kaseiju ahi, aluchunga kon samjang khat jong lha lou ding ahi. Ajeh chu tunin Pathen toh atongkhom in ahi,” atiuvin. Hijeh chun mipiten Jonathan ahuhdoh’un, athisah tapouve.
46 Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place.
Saul chu Philistine te nung adel naova konin achetou tan chule Philistine te jong aumnau vah ache tauve.
47 So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he vexed them.
Chuti chun Saul in Israel mite chunga lengvai anapon, muntinna amelmate jouse, Moab, Ammon chate, Edom, Zobah lengho chule Philistine mite toh akidouvin akiheina lam jousea gal ajoupeh in ahi.
48 And he gathered an host, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled them.
Aman thil lentah Amelek mite asat’in, ajouvin, chule amaho chom gam'a miho khutna konin Israel te ahuhdoh in ahi.
49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchi-shua: and the names of his two daughters were these; the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:
Tun Saul chapate chu Jonathan, Ishui chule Melchishua ahiuvin, chule achanu teni lah’a apeng masa’nu min Merab ahin, chule aneonu min Michal ahi.
50 And the name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the name of the captain of his host was Abner, the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.
Chule Saul inneipi min Ahinoam ahin, Ahimaaz chanu ahi. Chule ajanel gal lamkaipa min chu Abner ahin, Saul pangahpa Ner chapa ahi.
51 And Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.
Chule Kish chu Saul pa ahin, chule Abner pa Ner chu Abiel chapa ahi.
52 And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him unto him.
Chule Saul nikholai sungse chun Philistine mite toh kidouna chu anasa lheh jeng in ahi, Chuti chun Saul in mihatle mihangsan amupou pouva ahile amanin ama-a dingin akipui jeng in ahi.
