< Kings I 24 >

1 And it came to pass when Saul returned from pursuing after the Philistines, that it was reported to him, saying, David [is] in the wilderness of Engaddi.
Saul in Philistine mite agasat-a ahung kile jouvin, David En-gedi gamthip mun’ah aluttai tithu aseipeh tauvin ahi.
2 And he took with him three thousand men, chosen out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men in front of Saddaeem.
Hijeh chun Saul in Israel mite jousea konin galsat them cheh mi sangthum akilhen doh’in David le amite holding in gam-kelcha umna songkol lang’ah aga hol tauvin ahi.
3 And he came to the flocks of sheep that were by the way, and there was a cave there; and Saul went in to make preparation, and David and his men were sitting in the inner part of the cave.
Saul chu ahunga ahile lampia kelngoi honlah khat agatoh khan, hiche laiya chun songkohom khat aumin, hikoma chu chomkhat kicholdo din aluttai, hiche songko sunga adan sungnung lang ma ma-a chu David le aloite kisella uma ahi.
4 And the men of David said to him, Behold, this [is] the day of which the Lord spoke to you, that he would deliver your enemy into your hands; and you shall do to him as [it is] good in your sight. So David arose and cut off the skirt of Saul's garment secretly.
David aloihon ajah a guhthimin, “Tuhi nang dia phat kijen petcha ahi! Tunia hi Pakaiyin asei, ‘Keiman namel mapa chu nakhut’a kapeh doha, nangman naphatsah lamlama nabol ding ahi.’tia asei nikho chu tunia hi hung lhunga ahitai,” atiuve. Hijeh chun David jong akipatdoh in, kangchan akithol thol’in, Saul sangkhol chol mong chu aga-at tan peh tan ahi.
5 And it came to pass after this that David's heart struck him, because he had cut off the skirt of his garment.
Ahin David in Saul sangkhol chol mong chu aga-at tan chu alungsunga nommo asan ahi.
6 And David said to his men, The Lord forbid it me, that I should do this ting to my lord the anointed of the Lord, to lift my hand against him; for he is the anointed of the Lord.
Hijeh chun amite jah’a, “Pakaiyin ahet ahi, hiche hi kanabol louding dol ahi, ajeh chu amahi ka pakai le kaleng ahi. Pakaiyin adeilou, ka Pakai le ka lengpa chunga hiche kabol hi alhendohsa le athaonu doudal kahi,” atin ahi.
7 So David persuaded his men by [his] words, and did not suffer them to arise and kill Saul: and Saul arose and went his way.
Hijeh chun David in a sepaite chu atuhtang nah nah in, Saul chu atha sah tapon ahi. Saul athouvin songko adalha a, alampi’ah akiche phat- in,
8 And David rose up [and went] after him out of the cave: and David cried after Saul, saying, [My] lord, [O] king! and Saul looked behind him, and David bowed with his face to the ground, and did obeisance to him.
David ahung potdoh'in anungjuiyin asamin, “Ka pakai le lengpa!” atileh Saul ahung kihei phat’in ama jabolnan David tol’a abohkhup in chibai aboh in ahi.
9 And David said to Saul, Why do you listen to the words of the people, saying, Behold, David seeks your life?
Chule, hitin Saul jah’a asamin, “Ipibolla nangin mipiho thusei na ngaiya, keihin nang chu kasuhgenthei dana nagel ham?
10 Behold, your eyes have seen this day how that the Lord has delivered you this day into my hands in the cave; and I would not kill you, but spared you, and said, I will not lift up my hand against my lord, for he is the Lord's anointed.
Tuni nikhotah jeng’a jong nangman namit tah in namun ahi, hichu atahbeh ahi. Ajeh chu Pakai in kei khotona noiyah songko sung jenga jong nakoijin ahi. Kamiteho phabep khat in katha ding hitam tia eidohuva, kana noplou ahi. Ipijeh inem itileh, ‘keiman ka lengpa sugenthei louding kahi-amahi Pakai thaonu sa ahi,’
11 And behold, the skirt of your mantle [is] in my hand, I cut off the skirt, and did not kill you: know then and see today, there is no evil in my hand, nor impiety, nor rebellion; and I have not sinned against you, yet you lay snares for my soul to take it.
Ven kapa, kakhutna ipi kachoi em? na sangkholchol among kachelhah chu bou kachoi ahibouve, nathat pong kate. Nasugenthei pong kate ti vetsahna’a keiman nangma kasuhgenthei lou ding chule nangin thading in nei dal le le jong lechun nachunga kachonset lou ding ahi,” ati.
12 The Lord judge between me and you, and the Lord requite you on yourself: but my hand shall not be upon you.
“Pathen chu eini kaha ahetoh, athutan ahi. Ijemtia kei chunga nabolla ahile Pathen in gotna napeh ding ahi, ahinlah ken vang nang kasuhgenthei lou ding ahi.
13 As the old proverb says, Transgression will proceed from the wicked ones: but my hand shall not be upon you.
Thuchih luiyin khat in, ‘Miphalou hoa konin, thil phalou tohdoh in aume,’ ati. Hijeh chun nang dounan itihchan hijongle kakhut kalap louding ahi.
14 And now after whom do you come forth, O king of Israel? After whom do you pursue? After a dead dog, and after a flea?
Israel lengpa chu koipen nunga hung hija, koipen thunung nahin dal mong mong ham? Uicha thisa khat tou ham, uili khattou nung dal nahim?
15 The Lord be judge and umpire between me and you, the Lord look upon and judge my cause, and rescue me out of your hand.
Hijeh chu Pakai chu thutan in pang henlang, keile nang kikah’ah thutan pa hijing jeng hen,” ati.
16 And it came to pass when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, [Is] this your voice, Son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
Chuin David in aseiding jouse asei jou phatin, Saul in ahin donbut in, “Thu hin sei a chu chapa David mong mong nahi hinam?” atin akap pantan ahi.
17 And Saul said to David, You [are] more righteous that I, for you have recompensed me good, but I have recompensed you evil.
Chule David koma aseiyin, “Nang hi kei sangin nadih e, ajeh chu keiman nachunga thilphalou jeng kabollin ahin nangman vang thilpha jeng in nei lethuh jing jenge,” atitai.
18 And you have told me today what good you have done me, how the Lord shut me up into your hands today, and you did not kill me.
“Henge, nangman hepina dihtah in tunin nei ngailun, nei tha theina ding laitah a jong neithat pon ahi.
19 And if any one should find his enemy in distress, and should send him forth in a good way, then the Lord will reward him good, as you has done this day.
Hitobang hi mihem khat’in amelma pa ato khah’a ahile, damsella alhadoh mong mong ding hinam? Hijeh chun tunia kei dinga thilpha naboldoh jeh in, Pakaiyin thilpha nabolpeh teitei hen.
20 And now, behold, I know that you shall surely reign, and the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.
Chule tun keiman kichentah in kahetai, nangma Israelte leng nahung hitei tei ding ahi.
21 Now then swear to me by the Lord, that you will not destroy my seed after me, that you will not blot out my name from the house of my father.
Hijeh chun tunin Pakai minin kahenga kitep’in, ‘Kathi nungle kainsung jong na hinghoiya, kakhanggui le kachilhah jong nei hoi peh teijin!” ati.
22 So David swore to Saul: and Saul departed to his place, and David and his men went up to the strong-hold of Messera.
Chuin David jong Saul koma akihahsel in, hichun Saul jong inlam ajon tan; David le asepai chengse akulpiu muna akaltou tauvin ahi.
