1 Samuel 14
1 Now it happened one day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' outpost, that is on the other side yonder. But unto his father he told nothing.
Nito naah Saul capa Jonathan mah angmah ih maiphaw sin kami thendoeng maeto khaeah, Angzo ah, misatoep Philistin kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen, vapui yaeh ah caeh si, tiah a naa. Toe ampa to thaisak ai.
2 And Saul tarried in the lower part of Gib'ah under the pomegranate tree which is by Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men.
Saul loe Gibeah vangpui taeng ah kaom, Migron avang taeng ih Pomegranat thingkung tahlip ah anghnut; a taengah kami cumvai tarukto oh o.
3 And Achiyah, the son of Achitub, the brother of I-chabod, the son of Phinehas, the son of 'Eli, the priest of the Lord in Shiloh, wore the ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.
Shiloh vangpui ah angraeng ih qaima ah kaom, Eli capa Phinehas, Phinehas capa Ikhabod ih amnawk, Ahitub capa Ahijah loe kahni to angkhuk. Jonathan loe caeh ving boeh, tiah mi mah doeh panoek ai.
4 And between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the outpost of the Philistines, there was a sharp point of rock on the one side, and a sharp point of rock on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
Philistin misatuh kaminawk khaeah Jonathan caehhaih loklam ah, lungsong hae bangah maeto, ho bangah maeto oh; lungsong maeto loe Bozez, kalah maeto loe Seneh, tiah ahmin oh.
5 The one point rose up abruptly northward opposite Michmash, and the other southward opposite Geba'.
Maeto loe aluek bangah kaom Mikmash vangpui bangah anghae, maeto bae loe aloih bangah kaom Geba vangpui ah anghae.
6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armor, Come, and let us go over unto the outpost of these uncircumcised: it may be that the Lord will work for us; for there is no restraint to the Lord to save by means of many or by means of few.
Jonathan mah angmah ih misatukhaih hmuenmae phawkung thendoeng khaeah, Angzo ah, tangyat hin aat ai kaminawk ih misatoephaih ahmuen ah caeh si; Angraeng mah aicae zuengah misa na tuh pae doeh om tih, kami pop cadoeh, tamsi cadoeh, Angraeng loe mi mah doeh pakaa thai mak ai, tiah a naa.
7 And his armor-bearer said unto him, Do all that is in thy heart: turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.
Anih ih misatukhaih hmuenmae phawkung mah, Na poekhaih baktih toengah sah ah; Caeh ah, khenah, na poekhaih palungthin baktih toengah, kang caeh haih han hmang, tiah a naa.
8 Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto these men, and we will show ourselves unto them.
Jonathan mah, Khenah, hae kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen bangah caeh si loe, nihcae kamtueng ah om pae si.
9 If they say thus unto us, Stand still until we come to you: then will we remain standing in our places, and will not go up unto them.
Nihcae mah, Kaicae angzo o ai karoek to, to ahmuen ah na zing oh, tiah na thui o nahaeloe, nihcae khae caeh tahang ai ah, a oh hoi haih ahmuen ah om poe si.
10 But if they say thus, Come up unto us: then will we go up; for the Lord hath delivered them into our hand; and this shall be unto us the sign.
Toe nihcae mah, Kaicae khaeah angzo tahang ah, tiah thui nahaeloe, Angraeng mah nihcae to aihnik khaeah paek boeh pongah, caeh tahang si, hae loe aihnik hanah angmathaih ah om nasoe, tiah a naa.
11 And when both of them showed themselves unto the outpost of the Philistines, the Philistines said, Behold, Hebrews are coming forth out of the holes wherein they have hidden themselves.
To pongah nihnik loe Philistin kaminawk kamtueng ah oh pae hoi; Philistinnawk mah, Khenah, anghawkhaih ahmuen hoiah Hebru kaminawk tacawt o boeh, tiah a thuih o.
12 And the men of the outpost addressed Jonathan and his armor-bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will let you know something. Then said Jonathan unto his armor-bearer, Come up after me; for the Lord hath given them up into the hand of Israel.
To ih misatoep kaminawk mah Jonathan hoi anih ih misatukhaih hmuenmae phawkung khaeah, Hae ah angzo hoi tahang ah, hmuen kang patuek hoi han, tiah a naa o. To pongah Jonathan mah angmah ih hmuenmae phawkung khaeah, Ka hnukah angzo ah; Angraeng mah nihcae to Israel kaminawk ban ah paek boeh, tiah a naa.
13 And Jonathan then ascended upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armor-bearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan, and his armor-bearer was killing after him.
Jonathan loe khokkhu hoi a ban tha patohhaih hoiah dawh tahang; anih ih hmuenmae phawkung doeh anih hnukah dawh tahang toeng; Philistinnawk loe Jonathan hmaa ah amtimh o, angmah ih hmuen phawkung mah nihcae to hum.
14 And that first defeat, which Jonathan and his armor-bearer caused, was about twenty men, within about the half of a field, which a yoke of oxen might plough.
Jonathan hoi angmah ih hmuen phawkung mah, maitaw tae hoi laikok atokhaih ahmuen ekah ahap caeh hoi ai naah, Philistin kaminawk pumphae to a hum hoi boeh.
15 And there arose a terror in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the outposts, and the free-booters, they also were terrified, and the earth quaked; and it became a very great terror.
Misatuh kaminawk, laikok atok kaminawk, kaminawk boih, misatoep kaminawk, misa muk thaih kaminawk loe mawnhh hoiah koi o; talih doeh hnawh pongah paroeai kalen tasoehhaih to oh.
16 And the watchers of Saul in Gib'ah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude became scattered, and ran hither and thither.
Benjamin prae Gibeah vangpui ah misatoep Saul ih misatuh kaminawk mah doeng o naah, khenah, kapop parai Philistinnawk loe kami tamsi o boeh, nihcae loe maeto hoi maeto angboh o moe, caeh o.
17 Then said Saul unto the people that were with him, Muster now, and see who is gone away from us. And they mustered, and, behold, there was neither Jonathan nor his armor-bearer.
To naah Saul mah a taengah kaom kaminawk khaeah, Mi maw kacaeh, tiah panoek hanah kaminawk to kroek oh, tiah a naa. A kroek o naah, khenah, Jonathan hoi angmah ih misatukhaih hmuenmae phaw kami to om ai.
18 And Saul said unto Achiyah, Bring hither the ark of God; for the ark of God was on that day with the children of Israel.
Saul mah Ahijah khaeah, Sithaw ih thingkhong to hae ah sin ah, tiah a naa. To nathuem ah Sithaw ih thingkhong loe Israel kaminawk khaeah oh vop.
19 And it happened, while Saul was speaking unto the priest, that the confusion which was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased more and more: And Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thy hand.
Saul mah qaima khaeah lokthuih li naah, Philistin kaminawk salakah kaom maeto hoi maeto angbohhaih lok to pung aep aep; to pongah Saul mah qaima khaeah, Na ban to azuk ah, tiah a naa.
20 And Saul and all the people that were with him were called together, and they came to the battle; and, behold, the sword of every man was against his fellow, the disorder being very great.
Saul hoi angmah ih kaminawk loe nawnto amkhueng o moe, misatukhaih ahmuen ah caeh o; khenah, to nathuem ah Philistin kaminawk loe poek anghmang o sut pongah, angmacae hoi angmacae sumsen hoiah takroek o.
21 And the Hebrews that were with the Philistines as before that time, those namely who had gone up with them, were in the camp round about; but these also resolved to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan.
To naah Philistinnawk khaeah kaom, nihcae ataihaih ahmuen ah kacaeh, Hebru kaminawk loe Saul hoi Joanthan khaeah kaom Israel kaminawk khaeah caeh o moe, to ah athum o.
22 And all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves on the mountain of Ephraim, heard that the Philistines had fled; and they also followed hard after them in the battle.
Ephraim mae nuiah anghawk Israel kaminawk mah, Philistin kaminawk loe cawnh o boeh ti, tiah thaih o naah, misatuk naah athum o toeng moe, misanawk to patom o.
23 So the Lord saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over unto Beth-aven.
To pongah Angraeng mah to na niah Israel kaminawk to pahlong, misatukhaih loe Beth-Aven vangpui yaeh khoek to phak.
24 And the men of Israel were hard urged that day; and Saul adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that will eat food until the evening, until I have been avenged on my enemies. And the whole people tasted thus no food.
To na niah Israel kaminawk loe paroeai palungboeng o; Saul mah ka misanawk nuiah lu ka lak han oh vop, to pongah niduem ai naah buhcaa kaminawk loe tangoenghaih tong nasoe, tiah lokkamhaih sak pongah, mi doeh buhcaa o ai.
25 And [the men of] all the land came to a forest; and there was honey upon the surface of the field.
Prae thung ih kaminawk boih taw thungah akun o; to naah long ah kaom khoi to a hnuk o.
26 And when the people were come into the forest, behold, there was a stream of honey; but no one put his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath.
Kaminawk taw thungah phak o naah, taw ah kalong khoitui to a hnuk o; toe lokkamhaih zit o pongah, mi mah doeh pakha thungah ban tapawh o ai.
27 But Jonathan had not heard his father charging the people with the oath; he therefore put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and dipped it in a honey-comb, and carried his hand again to his mouth; and his eyes became clear.
Toe Jonathan mah loe ampa mah kaminawk khaeah thuih pae ih lokkamhaih to panoek ai pongah, a ban ah kaom tayae toeng tadong hoiah khoitui to quk pacoengah, pakha thungah ban tapawh; to naah a mik amtueng pae kue.
28 Then commenced one of the people, and said, Thy father strictly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that will eat food this day; though the people were faint.
To naah kami maeto mah, Nam pa mah kaminawk khaeah, mi kawbaktih doeh vaihniah buhcaa kami loe, tangoenghaih tong nasoe, tiah lokkamhaih a saksak. To pongah kaminawk loe thazok o sut boeh, tiah a naa.
29 Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how my eyes become clear, because I have tasted a little of this honey.
Jonathan mah, Pa mah prae kaminawk raihaih paek boeh; khenah, hae ih khoitui zetta ka pataeng naah, ka mik amtueng kue.
30 How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely this day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for would there not have been now a greater defeat among the Philistines?
Kaminawk mah misanawk khae hoi lak o ih thoemto hmuennawk to caa o nahaeloe, kawkruk maw hoih ueloe, Philistin kaminawk to pop aep ah hum o thai tih, tiah a naa.
31 And they smote on that day among the Philistines from Michmash to Ayalon; and the people were very faint.
To na niah, Mikmash vangpui hoi Aijalon vangpui karoek to, Israel kaminawk mah Philistinnawk hum o pongah, kaminawk loe paroeai angpho o.
32 And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and young steers, and slew them on the ground: and the people did eat upon the blood.
Misanawk ih hmuennawk to muk o, tuunawk, maitaw taenawk, maitaw caanawk to a lak o moe, long ah boh o pacoengah, athii hoi nawnto a caak o.
33 And they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people are sinning against the Lord, in eating upon the blood. And he [then] said, Ye have acted treacherously: roll [hither] unto me this day a great stone.
To naah kami maeto mah Saul khaeah, Khenah, kaminawk loe athii kaom moi to caak o moe, Angraeng hmaa ah a zae o let bae boeh, tiah a naa. Anih mah, Lokkamhaih na phraek o boeh, vaihniah kalen parai thlung kai khaeah palet oh boeh, tiah a naa.
34 And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring near unto me every man his ox, and every man his lamb, and slaughter here, and eat; and sin not against the Lord in eating by the blood. And all the people brought near every man his ox by his hand that night, and slaughtered [them] there.
To pacoengah Saul mah kaminawk khaeah, Caeh oh loe, kami boih mah angmacae ih maitaw hoi tuu to hae ah sin o nasoe; hae ah bop oh loe, caa oh; athii kaom moi caakhaih hoiah Angraeng hmaa ah zaehaih sah o hmah, tiah thui pae oh, tiah a naa. To pongah to naduem ah, kaminawk boih mah angmacae ih maitaw to sin o moe, to ah boh o.
35 And Saul built an altar unto the Lord: the same was the first altar that he built unto the Lord.
To naah Saul mah Angraeng khaeah hmaicam maeto sak; hae loe hmaloe koek a sak ih hmaicam ah oh.
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 in thy eyes. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God.
Saul mah, Khoving ah Philistinnawk khaeah caeh o si loe, khodai khoek to hmuenmae to lomh pae o si, kami maeto doeh hingsak hmah si, tiah thuih. Nihcae mah, Hoih hmang, tiah na poek ih baktih toengah sah halat ah, tiah a naa o. Toe qaima mah, Sithaw dueng rae si, tiah a naa.
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 on that day.
To pongah Saul mah Sithaw khaeah, Philistinnawk khaeah ka caeh han maw? Nihcae to Israelnawk ban ah na paek han maw? tiah a dueng. Toe to na niah Sithaw mah anih ih lok to pathim pae ai.
38 And Saul said, Draw ye near hither all the chief of the people: and know and see through what this sin hath happened this day.
To pongah Saul mah, Kami zaehoikungnawk boih, hae ah angzo oh, vaihniah tih zaehaih maw na sak o moeng boeh?
39 For, as the Lord liveth, who saveth Israel, that if it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But no one answered him among all the people.
Israel pahlongkung Angraeng loe hing baktih toengah, Jonathan loe ka capa ah om cadoeh, a nuiah zaehaih om nahaeloe, a duek han oh, tiah thuih. Toe kaminawk thungah mi mah doeh lok pathim pae o ai.
40 Then said he unto all Israel, Ye shall be 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 in thy eyes.
To naah Saul mah Israel kaminawk boih khaeah, Nangcae loe ho bangah angdoe oh, kai hoi ka capa Jonathan loe hae bangah kang doet hoi han, tiah a naa. Kaminawk mah Saul khaeah, Hoih, tiah na poek ih baktih toengah sah ah, tiah a naa o.
41 And Saul said unto the Lord, God of Israel, O, show forth the perfect truth. And Jonathan and Saul were seized; but the people came forth [free].
To naah Saul mah angmah ih Israel Angraeng Sithaw khaeah, Katoeng ah lok na caek ah, tiah lawkthuih. Jonathan hoi Saul loe taham khethaih phoisa to vah hoi; toe kaminawk loe loih o.
42 And Saul said, Cast the lot between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was seized.
Saul mah, Kai hoi ka capa Jonathan salakah taham khethaih phoisa to va ah, tiah a naa. To naah Jonathan nuiah krak.
43 Then said Saul to Jonathan, Do tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste with the end of the staff that was in my hand a little honey: lo, I am willing to die.
To naah Saul mah Jonathan khaeah, Tih hmuen maw na sakpazae? Na thui ah, tiah a naa. Jonathan mah kaimah ih tayae tadong hoiah khotui to ka quk moe, zetta ka pataeng; to pongah khenah, kai loe vaihi ka duek han oh, tiah a naa.
44 And Saul said, May God do thus now, and in future also; for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.
Saul mah, Sithaw mah ka nui ah kanung parai ah doeh sah nasoe, Jonathan, nang loe na duek han oh, tiah a naa.
45 And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? This shall not be: as the Lord liveth, there shall not fall one hair of his head to the ground; for with God hath he wrought this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, and he died not.
Toe kaminawk mah Saul khaeah, Israel kaminawk hanah hae tih khoek to kalen pahlonghaih sahkung, Jonathan to paduek han maw? Sithaw mah duehsak hmah nasoe; Angraeng loe hing baktih toengah, a lu nui ih sam maeto doeh long ah krak han om ai; Sithaw abomhaih rang hoiah ni vaihniah anih mah hae hmuen hae a sak, tiah a naa o. To pongah paduek han ai ah, kaminawk mah Jonathan to pahlong o.
46 Then went Saul up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.
To pacoengah Saul mah Philistinnawk to patom o ai boeh pongah, angmacae ohhaih ahmuen ah amlaem o let.
47 So Saul strengthened himself in the government over Israel; and he fought on every side against all his enemies, 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 caused terror.
Saul mah Israel kaminawk to uk moe, a taeng ih misanawk to a tuk; Moab, Ammon kaminawk, Edom kaminawk, Zobah siangpahrangnawk hoi Philistinnawk to a tuk; a caehhaih ahmuen kruekah misatuk pazawk.
48 And he gathered an army, and he smote the 'Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those that spoiled them.
Anih mah misatuh kaminawk to pahruek moe, Amalek kaminawk to a tuk, Israel kaminawk to nihcae parokungnawk ih ban thung hoiah a pahlong.
49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Yishvi, and Malkishua': and the names of his two daughters—the name of the first-born was Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.
Saul ih capanawk loe Jonathan, Ishui hoi Malk-Ishua; a canu hnik ih ahmin loe, kacoeh to Merab, tiah ahmin sak moe, kanawk to Mikal, tiah sak.
50 And the name of Saul's wife was Achino'am, the daughter of Achima'az: and the name of the captain of his army was Abner, the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.
Anih ih zu hmin loe Ahimaaz canu Ahinoam. Saul ih misatuh angraeng ahmin loe Ner capa Abner, Ner loe Saul ih ampa kanawk ah oh.
51 And Kish the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner, were each the son of Abiel.
Saul ampa Kish hoi Abner ampa Ner loe, Abiel ih capa ah oh hoi.
52 And the war against the Philistines was violent all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him unto himself.
Saul hing nathung Philistinnawk hoi kanung parai ah misa angtuk o; Saul mah mi kawbaktih doeh thacak moe, misahoih kami loe, angmah ih toksahkung ah a lak.
