1 Samuel 30
1 And it came to pass when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, that the 'Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burnt it with fire;
David hoi angmah ih kaminawk loe Ziklek vangpui to ni thumto hoiah phak o, to naah Amalek kaminawk mah aloih bang hoiah Ziklek to tuk o; Ziklek to tuk o moe, hmai hoiah qoeng o.
2 And had taken captive the women that were therein, both great and small: they had not slain any one, but had led them off, and gone on their way.
Nihcae mah to ah kaom mitong hoi nawktanawk to maeto doeh hum o ai; toe nongpatanawk to naeh o moe, misong ah hoih o.
3 When therefore David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burnt with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, had been taken captive.
David hoi anih ih kaminawk Ziklek vangpui to phak o naah, khenah, vangpui loe hmai hoiah qoeng o moe, nihcae ih zu, a caanawk hoi canunawk to naeh pae o ving boeh.
4 And David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
To pongah David hoi anih ih kaminawk loe thazok o moe, qah thai ai khoek to tha hoiah qah o.
5 And the two wives of David were also taken captive, Achino'am the Yizre'elitess, and Abigayil the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
David ih zu hnik, Jezreel vangpui ih Ahinoam hoi Karmel vangpui ih Nabal zu Abigail doeh naeh pae o ving.
6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was imbittered, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David fortified himself in the Lord his God.
David loe paroeai poek angpho; kaminawk loe angmacae ih canu hoi capanawk nuiah palungset o pongah, David to thlung hoiah vah han thuih o; toe David loe Angraeng oephaih hoiah oh.
7 And David said to Ebyathar the priest, the son of Achimelech, Bring hither, I pray thee, unto me the ephod. And Ebyathar brought the ephod near unto David.
To naah David mah Ahimalek capa qaima Abiathar khaeah, Kahni to na sin ah, tiah a naa. To naah Abiathar mah kahni to David hanah a sin pae.
8 And David asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop! shall I overtake them? And he said to him, Pursue; for thou wilt surely overtake them, and certainly recover [all].
David mah Angraeng khaeah, Hae misatuh kaminawk hae ka patom han maw? Ka kae tih maw? tiah a dueng. Anih mah, Patom ah, na kae ueloe, nihcae to na pahlong boih let tih, tiah pathim pae.
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came up to the brook Bessor, where those that were left behind stayed.
To pongah David loe angmah ih kami cumvai tarukto hoiah caeh, Besor vacong to a phak o; thoemto kaminawk loe to ahmuen ah oh o.
10 But David pursued on, he and four hundred men; and there stayed behind two hundred men, who were too fatigued to go over the brook Bessor.
Kami cumvai hnettonawk loe angpho o parai boeh pongah, Besor vacong doeh pha o thai ai, hnukah oh o sut; toe David hoi a taengah kaom kami cumvai palitonawk mah nihcae to patom o poe.
11 And they found an Egyptian man in the field, and took him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;
Nihcae mah lawk ah kaom Izip kami maeto hnuk o, anih to David khaeah caeh o haih; nihcae mah to kami hanah takaw to paek o, anih mah takaw to caak; naek hanah tui doeh a paek o;
12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins, and he ate, and then his spirit returned to him; for he had not eaten any bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
thaiduet thaih hoiah sak ih takaw phaek, misur thaih kazaek hoiah sak ih takaw hnetto a paek o, anih mah takaw caak pacoengah, tha oh let. Anih loe ni thumto pacoeng qum thumto thung buhcaa ai moe, tui doeh nae ai ah oh.
13 And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young Egyptian man, the servant to an 'Amalekite; and my master left me behind, because I fell sick, today three days ago.
David mah anih khaeah, Nang loe naa ih kami maw? Naa hoiah maw nang zoh? tiah a naa. Anih mah, Kai loe Izip kami, Amalek kami maeto ih tamna ah ka oh; hnukbang ni thumto thung ngan ka nat, to naah ka angraeng mah ang cawnh taak ving.
14 We made an invasion upon the south of the Kerethites, and upon that which belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and Ziklag did we burn with fire.
Kereth kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen aloih bang, Judah prae hoi Kaleb prae aloih bang to ka tuk o pacoengah, Ziklek vangpui to hmai hoiah ka thlaek o, tiah a naa.
15 And David said to him, Wilt thou bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt not kill me, and that thou wilt not surrender me into the hand of my master, and then will I bring thee down to this troop.
David mah anih khaeah, To kaminawk ataihaih ahmuen ah loklam nang patuek thai tih maw? tiah a dueng. Anih mah, Nang hae kang hum mak ai, ka angraeng ban ah doeh kang paek mak ai, tiah Sithaw hmaa ah lok na kam nahaeloe, nihcae ohhaih ahmuen ah kang caeh haih han, tiah a naa.
16 And he brought him down; and behold, they were scattered over the face of all the country, eating and drinking, and dancing for joy, because of all the great spoil which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
Anih mah David to caeh haih tathuk, khenah, to kaminawk loe Philistin hoi Judah prae thung ih hmuennawk to a lak o, to pongah taw boih ah ampraek o; a naek o, a caak o moe, hnawhaih hoiah khosak o.
17 And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day; and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, who rode upon camels, and fled.
David mah nihcae to khawnbang khoving hmuep nathuem hoi kamtong duembang khoek to tuk pongah, kaengkuu hrang cumvai palito hoi kacawn thendoengnawk ai ah loe, kami maeto doeh loih o ai.
18 And David recovered all that the 'Amalekites had taken away; and his two wives also did David rescue.
Amalek kaminawk mah lak o ih hmuennawk boih to David mah lak let; a zu hnik doeh pahlong let.
19 And there was nothing missing to them, from small to great, as also sons and daughters, and spoil, down to every thing that they had taken from them: the whole did David bring back.
Nihcae ih hmuen tidoeh anghmaa ai, nawktanawk, mitongnawk, canunawk, capanawk, nihcae mah lak o ih hmuennawk boih David mah lak pae boih let.
20 And David took all the flocks and the herds: these they drove before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.
Maitawnawk hoi tuunawk doeh lak o let, David ih hmuen ni, tiah thuih o pacoengah, to maitawnawk to anih ih kaminawk mah hmaabang ah huih o.
21 And David came to the two hundred men, who had been too fatigued to follow after David, and whom they had left to remain at the brook Bessor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him; and David came near to the people, and asked them after their well-being.
David loe angpho qawt boeh pongah hnukah bang thai ai, Besor vacong ah caeh o taak ih kami cumvai hnettonawk khaeah a caeh let. To kaminawk loe David hoi nawnto caeh kaminawk dawt hanah caeh o; David mah kaminawk khae phak naah, nihcae to bansin.
22 Then exclaimed every wicked and worthless man, of those that had gone with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, and these they may lead away, and go.
Toe David hoi nawnto caeh kahoih ai kaminawk hoi kasae kaminawk mah, Hae kaminawk loe aicae hoi nawnto caeh o ai pongah, lak ih hmuennawk paek hmah si, kami boih mah angmacae ih zu hoi a caanawk to la o nasoe loe, caeh o lai nasoe, tiah thuih o.
23 Then said David, Ye must not do so, my brethren; since the Lord hath given us this, and guarded us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
David mah nihcae khaeah, Nawkamyanawk, to tiah na ai ni; aicae bomkung, aicae katuh paroeai pop kaminawk aicae ban ah paekkung, Angraeng mah paek ih hmuenmaenawk loe to tiah sak han om ai.
24 And who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as is the part of him that went down to the battle, so shall be the part of him that remained with the baggage: together must they share.
Hae tiah na thuih o ih lok hae mi mah maw tahngai tih? Misatuh kaminawk mah hak o ih hmuen zetto hmuenmae toep kaminawk mah doeh hak o toeng han oh; kaminawk boih kangvan ah amzet han oh, tiah a naa.
25 And it happened from that day and forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel until this day.
To na ni hoi kamtong vaihni ni khoek to, Israel kaminawk thungah to baktih daan to David mah sak pae.
26 And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, Behold, here is a present for you from the spoil of the enemies of the Lord:
David Ziklek vangpui phak naah, a lak ih hmuennawk to Judah kacoehtanawk hoi angmah ih ampuinawk khaeah pat pae; Angraeng ih misanawk khae hoi ka lak ih hmuen hae tangqum ah kang pat, tiah a naa.
27 To those who were in Beth-el, and to those who were in south Ramoth, and to those who were in Yattir,
To ih hmuennawk to Bethel vangpui, Ramoth vangpui aloih bang hoi Jattir vangpui aloih bang,
28 And to those who were in 'Aro'er, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa',

29 And to those who were in Rachal, and to those who were in the cities of Yerach-meelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,

30 And to those who were in Chormah, and to those who were in Kor-'ashan, and to those who were in 'Athach,

31 And to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men had wandered about.
