1 Samuel 25
1 And Samuel died; and all the Israelites assembled themselves together, and lamented for him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
Hathnukkhu, Samuel a due navah, Isarelnaw pueng teh a khuika awh. Ahni teh Ramah kho a onae im koe a pakawp awh. Devit teh Paran kahrawngum lah a cei.
2 And there was a man in Ma'on, whose business was in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was, while they were shearing his sheep, at Carmel.
Maon vah tami buet touh ao. Hote tami teh, Karmel kho dawk ka tawnta poung e lah ao teh tu 3000 touh hoi hmae 1000 touh a tawn. Karmel vah tumuen ouk a ngaw.
3 Now the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigayil: and the woman was of good understanding, and of a beautiful form; but the man was hard-hearted and evil in his deeds; and he was of the house of Caleb.
Hote tami min teh Nabal doeh. A yu e min teh Abigail. Hote e napui teh, a lungkaang e hoi a meikahawi e lah ao. Hatei a vâ teh, a lung ka patak e hoi a nuen kamathout e lah ao. Ahni teh Kaleb catounnaw doeh.
4 And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
Devit ni kahrawngum hoi Nabal ni tumuen a ngaw e hah a panue.
5 And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and ask him in my name after his well-being.
Hatdawkvah, Devit ni thoundounnaw 10 touh a patoun teh, hatnavah thoundounaw hah Devit ni Karmel lah takhang awh nateh, Nabal koe na cei awh vaiteh, ka min lahoi kut man awh.
6 And ye shall say, May it thus be throughout thy life; and peace be to thee, and peace be to thy house, and unto all that thou hast be peace.
Hahoi, ka tawnta poung e tami koe hettelah na dei pouh han, nang dawk thoseh, na imthung dawk thoseh, na tawnta e pueng lathueng thoseh roumnae awm seh.
7 And now have I heard that thou hast sheep-shearers: now thy shepherds have been with us, we have not injured them, neither hath there aught been missing unto them, all the time they were at Carmel.
Na tumuen ka ngaw e tami ao tie ka thai, na tu kakhoumnaw kai koe ouk ao awh teh, runae banghai na poe awh hoeh. Karmel mon dawk ao nathung vah, bang buet touh hai kahmat boihoeh.
8 Ask thy young men, and they will tell it thee. Therefore let the young men find favor in thy eyes; for on a festive day are we come: give, I pray thee, whatsoever thy hand is capable of unto thy servants, and to thy son, to David.
Na thoundounnaw pacei haw, a dei awh han doeh. Ka thoundounnaw ni nang koe minhmai kahawi hmawt awh naseh. Kaimanaw teh pawi hnin dawk ka pha awh. Pahren lahoi nang koe kaawm e pueng hah na sannaw hoi na capa Devit poe loe telah tet pouh awh titeh lawk a thui.
9 And David's young men came, and they spoke to Nabal in accordance with all these words in the name of David; and then they ceased.
Devit e thoundounnaw a pha toteh, Devit ni lawk a thui e patetlah Nabal koe a dei pouh awh teh, duem ao awh.
10 And Nabal answered the servants of David, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? now-a-days there are many servants that break away every one from his master.
Hatei, Nabal ni Devit e a sannaw koe, Devit teh apimaw. Jesi capa teh apimaw. Atuvah a bawipa ka taran e sannaw nahoehmaw.
11 Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my sheep-shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not whence they are?
Ka vaiyei, ka tui, hoi ka tumuen kangawnaw hanelah ka thei pouh e heh nâ lahoi maw a tho awh tie ka panue hoeh e taminaw hah ka poe han namaw.
12 And David's young men turned about on their way, and returned, and came and told him in accordance with all these words.
Hatdawkvah, Devit e thoundounnaw karanglah a ban awh teh, Devit koe Nabal ni a dei e naw hah a dei pouh awh.
13 And David said unto his men, Gird ye on, every man, his sword. And they girded on, every man, his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men, and two hundred abode by the baggage.
Devit ni a taminaw koevah, na tahloi koung kava awh telah atipouh teh, tahloi koung a kava awh. Devit ma hai tahloi a kava van. Tami 400 touh ni Devit hnuk a kâbang awh. Tami 200 touh ni hnopainaw a la ring awh.
14 But one of the young men told Abigayil, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to greet our master; but he hath spoken rudely to them.
Hahoi, thoundoun buet touh ni Nabal e a yu Abigail koevah, khenhaw! Devit ni kahrawngum hoi maimae bawipa kut man hanelah a patounenaw a patoun teh, ahni ni a yue.
15 Whereas the men have been very good unto us; and we have not been injured, neither have we missed any thing, all the time that we went about with them, while we were in the field:
Hatei, ahnimanaw teh maimouh koe hroung ahawi awh. Runae banghai na poe boi awh hoeh. Law dawk ao awh nathung bang hno hai pasai awh hoeh.
16 A wall were they around us both by night and by day, all the time we were with them, feeding the flocks.
Tu ka khoum awh navah, ahnimouh koe ka o awh nathung tahroe hoi taran na ring pouh awh.
17 And now know and consider what thou canst do; for evil is determined on against our master, and against all his household; and he is too greatly a worthless man for me to speak to him.
Hatdawkvah, bangmaw na sak han. Kahawicalah pouk haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, maimae bawipa hoi imthungnaw koe thoenae a sak han toe. Ahni teh tamikahawi hoeh e lah ao dawkvah, apinihai dei thai hoeh telah atipouh.
18 And Abigayil made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.
Abigail ni karanglah vaiyei phen 200 touh, misurum kahni touh hoi thawng tangcoung e tu buem panga touh, tavai phen sum panga touh, misurpaw phen 100 touh, thaibunglung ka radip e 200 touh a sin teh, la a phu sak.
19 And she said unto her young men, Pass on before me: behold, I come after you. But to her husband Nabal she told nothing.
Hahoi ama koe kaawm e thoundounnaw koevah, ka hmalah pou cet awh. Nangmae hnuklah ka tho han atipouh. Hatei, a vâ Nabal koe dei pouh hoeh.
20 And it was so, as she was riding on the ass, and coming down by the covert of the mount, that, behold, David and his men came down toward her; and she met them.
La dawk a kâcui teh mon rahim a pha navah, Devit hoi a taminaw ahni koe a cathuk e hah a hmu teh, a kâhmo.
21 Now David had said, Yea, for naught only have I guarded all that belongeth to this fellow in the wilderness, so that not the least was missed of all that pertained unto him; and he hath requited me evil instead of good.
Devit ni ahnie hno buet touh boehai a kahma hoeh nahanelah kahrawngum vah, a tawn e pueng kai ni ayawmyin lah ka ring pouh. Ka hawinae heh thoenae hoi na pathung.
22 So may God do unto the enemies of David, and do so yet farther, if I leave of all that pertaineth to him by the morning light, as much as a dog.
Tangtho amom khodai totouh a tawn e pueng thung dawk hoi tongpa camo buet touh kangna ka hlung pawiteh Cathut ni Devit heh taran kut dawk a ngai patetlah na tet lawiseh. Hothlak hai hoe na tet yawkaw seh telah lawk yo a kam toe.
23 And when Abigayil saw David, she hastened, and alighted off the ass, and fell down before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground.
Abigail ni Devit a hmu navah, la van hoi karanglah a kum teh, Devit hmalah a minhmai talai rekkâbet lah a tabo.
24 And she fell at his feet, and said, On me, me, my lord, is the fault: and let thy hand-maid, I pray thee, speak in thy hearing, and listen to the words of thy hand-maid.
A khok koe a tabo teh, kai dawk roeroe vah thoe saknae bawt seh. Na sannu ni na hnâthainae koe, lawk ka dei vaiteh, na sannu ni lawk ka dei e hah na thai pouh haw.
25 Let not my Lord, I pray thee, turn his heart unto this worthless man, unto Nabal; for as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, and meanness is with him; but I thy hand-maid did not see the young men of my Lord, whom thou didst send.
Ka bawipa tamikayon Nabal hah banglahai noutna hanh. A min phung e patetlah doeh ao. Nabal tie patetlah ka pathu e doeh. Kai na sannu ni bawipa nang ni na patoun e thoundounnaw ka hmu hoeh dawk doeh atipouh.
26 And now, my lord, as the Eternal liveth, and as thy soul liveth, it is the Lord who hath withholden thee from coming to blood-guiltiness, and from helping thyself with thy own hand; and now may like Nabal be thy enemies, and those that seek [to do] my Lord evil.
Hatdawkvah, ka bawipa atuteh, BAWIPA a hring e hoi nang na hring e patetlah khoeroe ka hmawt hoeh. BAWIPA ni thi palawng hoeh hane hoi na kut hoi a moi na pathung hoeh hanelah, na tarannaw hoi bawipa nang dawk a thoenae katawngnaw teh, Nabal patetlah tho awh lawiseh.
27 And now this present which thy hand-maid hath brought unto my Lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow in the train my Lord.
Hahoi ka bawipa nang hanelah na sannu ni poehno ka sin e heh, ka bawipa nang koe ka kâbang e thoundounnaw poe lah awm lawiseh.
28 Pardon, I pray thee, the trespass of thy hand-maid; for the Lord will certainly make for my lord an enduring house; because the battles of the Lord doth my lord fight, and evil will not be found in thee all thy days.
Na sannu ni ka payon e naw hah pankângai ei. Ka bawipa nang teh BAWIPA koe lah taran na tuk dawk thoseh, na hring nathung nang dawk yonpen hane ao hoeh dawk thoseh, BAWIPA ni nang hanelah kacakpounge imthung a kangdue sak han doeh telah atipouh.
29 And though a man is risen up to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: yet will the soul of my Lord be bound in the bond of life with the Lord thy God; and the soul of thy enemies will he hurl away, as out of the middle of the sling.
Nang ka pâlei hane hoi nang ka thet hanelah taminaw ni na ka tawng nakunghai nange BAWIPA Cathut ni ka bawipa e hringnae teh, kahringnaw rahak vah mek a tangoung sin han doeh. Nang e tarannaw e hringnae teh, tâyai hoi pathui e patetlah a thui vaiteh a kahma awh han.
30 And it shall come to pass, when the Lord will do to my lord, in accordance with all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and will ordain thee as ruler over Israel,
BAWIPA ni nang dawk hnokahawi na kam pouh e pueng ka bawipa nang dawk a kuep sak teh, Isarel siangpahrang lah na rawi torei teh,
31 That this shall not be unto thee as a cause of offense and as a reproach of heart unto my lord, both by having shed blood without cause, and by my lord having righted himself; and when the Lord will do good unto my lord, then do thou remember thy hand-maid.
A khuekhaw awm laipalah, tami na thet hoeh. Ka bawipa ni moi na pathung hoeh e hah nang hanlah lungmathoenae lah awm roeroe mahoeh. Ka bawipa hanlah lungkuep hoeh nahanlah awm roeroe mahoeh. BAWIPA ni ka bawipa tak dawk hnokahawi a sak toteh, na sannu heh pahnim hanh atipouh.
32 And David said to Abigayil, Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me;
Devit ni hai, sahnin nang hoi kâhmo sak hanelah, nang na ka patoun e Isarelnaw e BAWIPA Cathut teh, yawhawi lah awm lawiseh.
33 And blessed be thy intelligence, and blessed be thou, who hast prevented me this day from coming unto blood-guiltiness, and from helping myself with my own hand.
Na khopouk thainae teh yawhawinae lah ao vaiteh, sahnin kai teh tami hringnae thei hanelah ka kâcai hoeh nahan, ka kut hoi moipathung laipalah, na kangangkung hai yawhawinae awm lawiseh.
34 But truly, as the Lord the God of Israel liveth, who hath withdrawn me from injuring thee, except thou hadst hastened and come to meet me, surely there would not have been left unto Nabal by the morning-light so much as a dog.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang hah runae na poe hoeh nahanlah hoi, ka ngang e Isarel BAWIPA Cathut teh a hring e patetlah kai hoi kâhmo hanelah karanglah na tho hoehpawiteh, tangtho amom vah Nabal hanelah tongpa buet touh boehai ka pâhlung mahoeh telah Abigail koe a dei pouh.
35 And David took out of her hand that which she had brought him; and unto her he said, Go up in peace to thy house: see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have respected thy presence.
Ahni ni a sin e poehno a kut dawk e Devit ni a la pouh teh, na onae im koe lah karoumcalah cet haw, nange na lawk ka ngai toe, na minhmai hai ka khet han telah atipouh.
36 And Abigayil came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, and he was exceedingly drunken; wherefore she told him not a word, either little or great, until the morning-light.
Abigail ni hai Nabal koe bout a cei teh, ahni teh siangpahrang e pawibu patetlah bu a ca, puenghoi a parui dawkvah, a tangtho khodai hoehnahlan totouh banghai dei pouh hoeh.
37 But it happened in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things; and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
Amom lah Nabal teh misur parui e a thangcuem toteh hote hnonaw hah a yu ni a dei pouh. Ama teh a lung a due pouh teh, talung patetlah ao.
38 And it came to pass in about ten days thereafter, that the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.
Hnin 10 touh hnukkhu BAWIPA ni a hem teh a due.
39 And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the Lord, who hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath withheld his servant from evil; and the wickedness of Nabal hath the Lord returned upon his own head. And David sent and applied for Abigayil, to take her to himself for wife.
Nabal a due e hah Devit ni a thai toteh, Nabal ni na pacekpahleknae koehoi na rasa teh, na san kai heh thoenae hno dawk hoi na ka hlout sak e BAWIPA teh a min pholennae awm lawiseh. BAWIPA Cathut ni Nabal hawihoehnae hah amae lathueng bout a pha sak toe telah a dei. Devit ni Abigail teh a yu hanelah tami a patoun.
40 And the servants of David came to Abigayil to Carmel, and they spoke unto her, saying, David hath sent us unto thee, to take thee to himself for wife.
Devit e a sannaw teh Abigail onae Karmel mon koe a pha awh toteh, Devit ni a yu hanelah a san kaimouh na patoun awh toe telah atipouh.
41 Thereupon she arose, and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thy hand-maid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
Abigail a thaw teh a hmalah talai dawk a tabo teh, na khenhaw! na sannu he ka bawipa e sannaw e khok pâsu hanelah doeh ka o atipouh.
42 And Abigayil hastened, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with her five damsels that went in her train; and she went after the messengers of David, and she became his wife.
Hathnukkhu Abigail a thaw teh, la dawk a kâcui. A hnukkâbang e a sannu 5 touh hoi Devit ni patounenaw koe a kâbang teh Devit e yu lah ao.
43 David also took Achino'am of Yizre'el; and both of them became thus his wives.
Hatnavah, Devit ni Jezreel tami Ahinoam hah a yu lah la a tawn toe. Hattoteh kahni touh hoi yu lah reirei a la.
44 But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti, the son of Layish, who was of Gallim.
Hatnavah, Sawl ni a canu Mikhal Devit e a yu teh Gallim tami Laish capa Palti koe yo la a kâhâ toe.
