< Kings I 25 >

1 And Samuel died, and all Israel assembled, and bewailed him, and they bury him in his house in Armathaim: and David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Maon.
Tun Samuel athitan ahile Israel mite jouse avui dingin ahung kikhom un, athilong chu a-op uvin, Ramah khoa a-inah avui tauvin ahi. Hichun David chu Maon gamthip ah akumsuh tan ahi.
2 And there was a man in Maon, and his flocks were in Carmel, and [he was] a very great man; and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand she-goats: and he happened to be shearing his flock in Carmel.
Maon a kon neile gou tampi neiyah mihaothei tah khat Carmel khopia kiveina bol mi khat aum in ahi. Amachun kelngoi sang thum chule kelcha sangkhat aneiyin ahi chule hiche phatlai chu kelmulvo phatlai ahi.
3 And the man's name [was] Nabal, and his wife's name [was] Abigaia: and his wife [was] of good understanding and very beautiful in person: but the man [was] harsh, and evil in his doings, and the man [was] churlish.
Hiche mipa min chu Nabal akitin, ajinu min chu Abigail akitin ahi, Ajinu chu numei chingtah ahin, thil umdan hekhen themtah jong ahin, amel jong melhoi tah ahi. Ajipa vang chu Caleb phungmi, umdan, chondan helou mi ahin, agiloutah a chon jeng ahi.
4 And David heard in the wilderness, that Nabal the Carmelite was shearing his sheep.
Nabal kitipa hin kelngoi avah’e ti hi David in ahedoh tan ahi.
5 And David sent ten young men, and he said to the young men, Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and ask him in my name how he is.
Hijeh chun David in gollhang somkhat asolin Nabal henga thuthot le salam gabol din asol in ahi.
6 And thus shall you say, May you and your house seasonably prosper, and all your be in prosperity.
Hichun gollhangho chun, “Chamna le khantouna nangle na insunga chule naneile nanga chengse chunga umhen!” atiuvin ahi.
7 And now, behold, I have heard that your shepherds who were with is in the wilderness are shearing your sheep, and we hindered them not, neither did we demand any thing from them all the time they were in Carmel.
“Nangman kelngoi mulvou ding miho chu keiho Carmel koma nakoiye ti kajan, keihon suh gentheina ima kanei pouve chule amahoa kon in jong ima guhle lah kanei pouve.
8 Ask your servants, and they will tell you. Let then your servants find grace in your eyes, for we are come on a good day; give we pray you, whatever your hand may find, to your son David.
Namiteho dong jong le chun adihtah chu naseipeh nauvinte. Golvah nikho khatle kahung diu ahin, kipah tah a neisan diu David in adeiye. Lungset tah in napeh thei thei neipeuvin, nalhacha keiho le nagol ngaitah keima David min in,” ati.
9 So the servants come and speak these words to Nabal, according to all these words in the name of David.
David gollhangho chun David minin hicheng chu Nabal henga alhut uvin chule amahon Nabal donbutna angahuvin ahi.
10 And Nabal sprang up, and answered the servants of David, and said, Who [is] David? and who [is] the son of Jessae? Now-a-days there is abundance of servants who depart every one from his master.
Nabal in jong noise tah in, “David kitipa chu koi hija ham? Hiche Jesse chapa hin ama le ama ipia kigel ham? Tulaiya hi soh tamtah apakai teu henga konna jam mang atam e.
11 And shall I take my bread, and my wine, and my beasts that I have slain for my shearers, and shall I give them to men of whom I know not whence they are?
Achutile, iti keiman kakelngoi mulvou’a pangho kathapeh kelngoi-sa, a twidon ding u chule aneh diu kachanglhah jouse hi kalah peh’a, kahetphah lou gam'a hungkon miho chu kapeh beh ding hija ham?” ati pen tai.
12 So the servants of David turned back, and returned, and came and reported to David according to these words.
Hichun David gollhangho chu ahung kinunglen, Nabal in asei jouse chu David heng’ah alhut tauvin ahi.
13 And David said to his men, Gird on every man his sword. And they went up after David, about four hundred men: and two hundred abode with the stuff.
Chuin David in, “Nachemjam kigotun,” atin, hichun mi jali toh akilhon’un, chule mi jali anunglam uva thilkeo ngah din adalha uvin ahi.
14 And one of the servants reported to Abigaia the wife of Nabal, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our lord; but he turned away from them.
Hichun Nabal soh ho lah-a mi khat in Abigail aga hetsah in, “David in gamthip gam'a konin gollhangho kapu koma salam boldin asollin ahileh anaphoh sal in,
15 And the men were very good to us; they did not hinder us, neither did they demand from us any thing all the days that we were with them.
Gollhang ho chu keiho dinga phattah ahiuve, keihon amahoa kon in hahsatna imacha katoh khapouve, kaum khom sung uvin jong keihoa konin imacha alahdoh-u jong aumpoi.
16 And when we were in the field, they were as a wall round about us, both by night and by day, all the days that we were with them feeding the flock.
Sunle jan in keihole kelngoiho ding in baang bang in eihong jing un, eingah tup jinguve.
17 And now do you consider, and see what you will do; for mischief is determined against our lord and against his house; and he [is] a vile character, and one can’t speak to him.
Hiche thu hohi nangman nahet chet angaiye chule ipi bolding ham ti nagel angaiye, ajeh chu ka pakai pa le ainsung mite jousea ding’a thil hahsa hungsoh ding in akilome. Amala alungtong lheh inkoimacha to kihou tehi ahipoi,” ati.
18 And Abigaia hasted, and took two hundred loaves, and two vessels of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five ephahs of fine flour, and one homer of dried grapes, and two hundred cakes of figs, and put them upon asses.
Hichun Abigail gangtah in changlhah lhon jani akigot in, lengpitwi savun peng ni dimset agongin, honminsa kelngoi nga akigot in, changpoh kana atena dim nga agon, lengpithei changlhah boh jakhat toh, theichang changlhah a kisem jani, hciheng hi, amanun sangan chungah asem in,
19 And she said to her servants, Go on before me, and behold I come after you: but she told not her husband.
Asohte jah ah, “Anache masauvin, keiman kahin juipai ding nahiuve,” ati.
20 And it came to pass when she had mounted her ass and was going down by the covert of the mountain, behold, David and his men came down to meet her, and she met them.
Abigail chu asangan chunga atouvin molchunga akaltouvin, aman David le amite ama langa-a ahung chu amun ahi.
21 And David said, Perhaps I have kept all his possessions in the wilderness that he should wrong me, and we did not order the taking anything of all his goods; yet he has rewarded me evil for good.
David in, “Hiche Nabal kitipa gancha jouse chu keiman khatcha beh jong manthah sah louva gammang noija kachinpeh chu pan nabeija kabol dan ahitai, tun Nabal in kathilpha bol jouse thilsen eihin lethoh pehtai.
22 So God do to David and more also, if I leave one male of all that belong to Nabal until the morning.
Jingkah teng Nabal mi ahi kiti tapou pasal khatna khat jeng cha jong hinghoi louva katha gam louva ahile, Pakaiyin keima David hi eithat jeng hen,” tin aseitai.
23 And Abigaia saw David, and she hasted and alighted from her ass; and she felt before David on her face, and did obeisance to him, [bowing] to the ground
Abigail in David amu phat’in, asangan chunga kon in akumlhan amasang ah akunin abohkhup’in jana apen ahi.
24 [even] to his feet, and said, On me, my lord, be my wrong: let, I pray you, your servant speak in your ears, and hear you the words of your servant.
Akengphang bul’a abohkhup in ajah-a, “ka pakai thilsoh hicheng hohi keima themmo na ahijenge, chule nahenga kasei hi, neingaipeh-in.
25 Let not my lord, I pray you, take to heart this pestilent man, for according to his name, so is he; Nabal [is] his name, and folly [is] with him: but I your handmaid saw not the servants of my lord whom you did send.
Hiche Nabal hi milungtong le mipha ahipoi, thupitah in lahih-in, ajeh chu amahi mingol ahibouve amin tobang banga amajong hija ahi. Ahinla kapun nahinsol gollhangho chu nasoh nun kana mulou ahi,” ati.
26 And now, my lord, [as] the Lord lives, and your soul lives, as the Lord has kept you from coming against innocent blood, and from executing vengeance for yourself, now therefore let your enemies, and those that seek evil against my lord, become as Nabal.
“Tujeng injong Pakai hingjing mina kasei ahi, kapu jong nahin laihin Pakaiyin thisan so’a themmo sahna ding jousea nahoidoh sah ahitan, nakhut tah’a phu nalah ding jong aphal lousa ahitai, hijeh chun suhset ding thadinga nahola namelmate jouse chu Nabal tobang hisoh kei uhen.
27 And now accept this token of goodwill, which your servant has brought to my lord, and you shall give it to the servants that wait on my lord.
Nasoh nu keiman hiche nangma le nagollhang ho neh le chah dia kahin poh hi kapu neisanpeh tei teiyin.
28 Remove, I pray you, the trespass of your servant; for the Lord will surely make for my lord a sure house, for the Lord fights the battles of my lord, and there shall no evil be ever found in you.
Nasohnu hi ipi hile kathemmona aumleh abonchan nei ngaidam in. Pakai dia galsat nahijeh in Pakaiyin nang le nachilhahte lenga natun jing uhen chule nahinkho lhumkeiyin thilse bolda jeng in,” ati.
29 And [if] a man shall rise up persecuting you and seeking your life, yet shall the life of my lord be bound up in the bundle of life with the Lord God, and you shall whirl the life of your enemies [as] in the midst of a sling.
“Midang hon thading in hung kipat u henlang, nahol hol jeng jong leu, kapu nahinkho hi Pakai na Pathen in nei le gou manlu tah bangin naven tup jing in ahi. Ahin namelma teho jouse gophel a songchang kikap mang bang’a akap mang ding ahi.
30 And it shall be when the Lord shall have wrought for my lord all the good things he has spoken concerning you, and shall appoint you to be ruler over Israel;
Chujong le nachung chang thudola Pakaiyin aseisa jouse chu kapu dinga nabolpeh soh keiya, Israel chunga lenga natun tengle,
31 then this shall not be an abomination and offense to my lord, to have shed innocent blood without cause, and for my lord to have avenged himself: and so may the Lord do good to my lord, and you shall remember your handmaid to do her good.
Hitobang hohi hi nolna bei nahina chu kipuisetsah hihin. Chutile ajeh beiya mitha jeh ham ahiloule nangin naphu nakilah jeh ham a nalung gimpi lou ding ahi. Chuleh Pakaiyin kapu nang ma chung’a phatecha-a nainchen sah tengle, nasohnu keijong neihin geldoh tei teiyin,” ati.
32 And David said to Abigaia, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel, who sent you this very day to meet me:
David in Abgail adonbutin, “Tunia Israel Pathen in keito kimuto dinga nahinsol jeh in, Pakai chu thangvah in umhen!
33 and blessed [be] your conduct, and blessed [be] you, who have hindered me this very day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself.
Thil nahet them jeh in Pathen thangvah in umhen! Nangma jong phatthei chang in, ajeh chun nangman tuni hin kathemmona ding thisan kaso’a keile kei phulah na’a kakhut kalap nadinga konin nei huhdoh tai.
34 But surely as the Lord God of Israel lives, who hindered me this day from doing you harm, if you had not hasted and come to meet me, then I said, There shall [surely] not be left to Nabal till the morning one male.
Pakai Israel Pathen min a kasei ahi, Pakaiyin nangho eisuhsetda sah ahitai, neihung kimupi loi hih le chu, jingkhovah masang’a Nabal mite khat a khatcha kahinghoi loud ing kathagam heldiu ahitai,” ati.
35 And David took of her hand all that she brought to him, and said to her, Go in peace to your house: see, I have listened to your voice, and accepted your petition.
Hichun David in jong athilpeh chengse akisan in, chule amanu jah-ah, “Lungmong tah-in na-inlama chetan, keiman nathusei kangai peh in, na inneipu jong katha lou ding ahitai,” ati.
36 And Abigaia came to Nabal: and, behold, he had a banquet in this house, as the banquet of a king, and the heart of Nabal [was] merry within him, and he [was] very drunken: and she told him nothing great or small till the morning light.
Hitichun Abigail ahungkile kitna ain agalhun phat in, Nabal chun ainsungah lengpa golvah ni bangin kut anabollin ahi. Ama chu ju hakham in akhamin, hijeh chun amanun jong ajing jingkah changeiyin David toh akimuto thujong aseipeh tapoi.
37 And it came to pass in the morning, when Nabal recovered from his wine, his wife told him these words; and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
Jingkah khovah lhah’a Nabal jong ajukhamna akonna hung limdoh phat in, ajinun thilsoh umchan jouse chu abonchan aseipeh tan ahileh atija behseh jeng in, alung sunga alung achat tapon, songtum bangin akitung dentai.
38 And it came to pass after about ten days, that the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.
Nisom jouvin, Pakaiyin Nabal chu adeng in, athipai pai tai.
39 And David heard it and said, Blessed [be] the Lord, who has judged the cause of my reproach at the hand of Nabal, and has delivered his servant from the power of evil; and the Lord has returned the mischief of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and spoke concerning Abigaia, to take her to himself for a wife.
David in Nabal thi ajah phat in, “Pakai thangvah in umhen, Nabal khutna kona jumsona hiche Nabal chunga phu eilah peh chu nunnom hen. Nabal in achonset man akisan ahitai,” ati. Chuin David in Abigail henga aji hina dingin thuthot aneiyin, agadoh sah tan ahi.
40 So the servants of David came to Abigaia to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying, David has sent us to you, to take you to himself for a wife.
Chuin thupole ho chu Carmel alhun phat un, Abigail jah’a, “David in jia neidia, nang puiya eihinsol’u ahi,” agatiuve.
41 And she arose, and did reverence with her face to the earth, and said, Behold, your servant [is] for an handmaid to wash the feet of your servants.
Hichun Abigail chu tol’ah abohkhup’in hitin adonbut in, “Kei, nasohnu, David toh kakichen ding kakipah’e, alhacha hiya akeng soppeh dia gotsa kahi,” ati.
42 And Abigaia arose, and mounted her ass, and five damsels followed her: and she went after the servants of David, and became his wife.
Abigail jong lungkin tah-in akigongin, akipatdoh pai paiyin, sangan chung khat’a akaldoh in ama jenlea pangji asoh numei nga chu akipuiyin, David sohte nung ajuijin, David ji- dingin apangtai.
43 And David took Achinaam out of Jezrael, and they were both his wives.
David chun Ahinoam Jezreel kho mi jong akichenpin, anigel lhon in, ajidin apang lhontai.
44 And Saul gave Melchol his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Amis who was of Romma.
Hiche kahlah chun Saul chun achanu Michal kitinu, David jinu chu Gallim kho mi Palti chapa La’ish chu aji din ape tai.
