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.
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 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.
Phat chomkhat jouvin, Saul in mi jagup chu Gibeah khopi pamlanga Migron muna kolbuthei phung vella chun anakhom khom’in ahi.
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.
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 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.
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 one point rose up abruptly northward opposite Michmash, and the other southward opposite Geba'.
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 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.
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 armor-bearer said unto him, Do all that is in thy 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 show ourselves unto them.
Jonathan in, “Achutile aphalheh’e, eini galut hitin, amaho gakimu sah hite,” ati.
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.
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 will we go up; for the Lord hath delivered them into our hand; and this shall be unto us the sign.
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 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.
Chuin Philistine ten amu phat un ahoh un, “Veuvin, Hebrew miho akosunga konin ahung potdoh tauve atiuve.”
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.
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 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.
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 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.
Amanin, mi somni athat lhon in, atahsa u chu acre keh khat’a len sung ‘ah athethang lhone.
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.
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 watchers of Saul in Gib'ah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude became scattered, and ran hither and thither.
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, Muster now, and see who is gone away from us. And they mustered, and, behold, there was neither Jonathan nor his armor-bearer.
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 Achiyah, Bring hither the ark of God; for the ark of God was on that day 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 [the men of] all the land came to a forest; and there was honey upon the surface of the field.
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 forest, behold, there was a stream of honey; but no one 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 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.
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 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.
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 my eyes become clear, because I have 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 this day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for would there not have been now a greater defeat 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 on that day among the Philistines from Michmash to Ayalon; 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 young steers, and slew them on the ground: and the people did eat upon the blood.
Chuin mipi chu thil kichomho chunga achuvin, kelgoiho, bongchalho, bongnouho, chu tollhanga athat’un thisan pum chun aneuvin ahi.
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.
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 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.
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 in thy eyes. 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 on 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 through what this sin hath happened 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, who saveth Israel, that if it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But no one answered him among all the people.
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, 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.
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 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].
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 the lot between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was seized.
Chuin Saul in, “Tun vang sang kit uhitin keile Jonathan kah’a dingin,” Tun Jonathan chu athemmon hung kilang doh tai.
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.
“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 said, May God do thus now, and in future 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? 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.
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 went Saul 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 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.
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 army, and he smote the 'Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those 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 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.
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 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.
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 the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner, were each the son of Abiel.
Chule Kish chu Saul pa ahin, chule Abner pa Ner chu Abiel chapa ahi.
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.
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.
