1 Samuel 20
1 And David flees from Naioth in Ramah, and comes, and says before Jonathan, “What have I done? What [is] my iniquity? And what [is] my sin before your father, that he is seeking my life?”
Devit teh Ramah kho Naioth hmuen koehoi a yawng teh Jonathan koe a pha. Bangmaw ka sak, ka yonnae bang hah namaw, na pa koe bang yonnae maw ka sak teh thei hane na noe telah a dei.
2 And he says to him, “Far be it! You do not die; behold, my father does not do anything great or small and does not uncover my ear; and why does my father hide this thing from me? This [thing] is not.”
Jonathan ni ahni koevah, na dout mahoeh. Apa ni kai panuek laipalah, kathoeng kalen hai sak mahoeh. Bangkong hah na maw hete lawk heh kai koe a hro han, het heh a laithoe vai aw, bout atipouh.
3 And David swears again and says, “Your father has certainly known that I have found grace in your eyes, and he says, Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he is grieved; and yet, YHWH lives, and your soul lives, but—as a step between me and death.”
Devit ni kai heh nang ni lung na pataw e hah na pa ni atangcalah a panue. Jonathan ni hethateh panuek hanh naseh, a lung mathout vaih ati dawk han doeh atipouh. BAWIPA a hring e hoi nang na hring e patetlah atangcalah ka dei, duenae hoi maimouh roi rahak khoktakan vai touh doeh kaawm atipouh.
4 And Jonathan says to David, “What does your soul [desire]? Command and I do it for you.”
Jonathan ni Devit koevah na ngai e pueng na sak pouh han telah a ti.
5 And David says to Jonathan, “Behold, the new moon [is] tomorrow; and I certainly sit with the king to eat; and you have sent me away, and I have been hidden in a field until the third evening;
Devit ni khenhaw! tangtho teh thapa rei hnin doeh. Siangpahrang koe buven roeroe hane doeh. Hatei kai na cetsak lawih. Apâthum hnin tangmin totouh law lah kâhro hanelah na cet sak.
6 if your father looks after me at all, then you have said, David earnestly asked of me to run to his city of Beth-Lehem, for there [is] a sacrifice of the days for all the family.
Na pa ni ka o hoeh e hah panuek pawiteh, Devit ni a onae Bethlehem vah cei hanelah atangcalah na dei pouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a imthungkhu hane kum tangkuem thuengnae tueng lah ao telah a dei pouh.
7 If thus he says: Good; [there is] peace for your servant; and if it is very displeasing to him—know that the evil has been determined by him;
Ahawi tetpawiteh, a san hah a rungngang han. A lungkhuek pawiteh hnokahawi hoeh e sak han a kâcai tie panuek lawih.
8 and you have done kindness to your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of YHWH with you—and if there is iniquity in me, put me to death yourself; for why [is] this [that] you bring me to your father?”
Na san e lathueng lungmanae tawn. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na san heh BAWIPA lawkkamnae thung na kâkuetkhai toe. Hatei kai dawk ka payonnae na poe koe kuekluek na ceikhai han telah a ti.
9 And Jonathan says, “Far be it from you! For I certainly do not know that the evil has been determined by my father to come on you, and I do not declare it to you.”
Jonathan ni khuet na dout ti, bangkongtetpawiteh apa ni na lathueng hno kahawihoeh a sak e ka panuek pawiteh dei laipalah ka o han na maw telah a ti.
10 And David says to Jonathan, “Who declares [it] to me? Or what [if] your father answers you sharply?”
Devit ni Jonathan koe na pa ni lawk kahram lahoi na pato teh apinimaw na dei pouh han telah a ti.
11 And Jonathan says to David, “Come, and we go out into the field”; and both of them go out into the field.
Jonathan ni Devit koe law cet roi sei telah ati. Hottelah kahni touh hoi law a cei roi.
12 And Jonathan says to David, “YHWH, God of Israel, [is my witness]—when I search out my father about [this] time tomorrow [or] the third [day], and behold, [there is] good toward David, and I do not then send to you, and have uncovered your ear—
Jonathan ni Devit koe Isarel BAWIPA Cathut teh kapanuekkhaikung lah awm naseh, tangtho atu e tueng dawk thoseh, apâthum thoseh apa ka tanouk han. Devit kong dawk a hawinae koelah pawiteh nang koe tami ka patoun laipalah, dei laipalah ka o han nama.
13 thus YHWH does to Jonathan, and thus He adds; when the evil concerning you is good to my father, then I have uncovered your ear, and sent you away, and you have gone in peace, and YHWH is with you, as he was with my father;
Hatei apa ni na lathueng hno kahawihoeh sak hanelah kâcai pawiteh, na thaisak han. Kahawicalah na cei thai nahan na tha han, telah ka sak hoehpawiteh BAWIPA ni Jonathan dawk hot hlak hoe sak naseh. Apa koe BAWIPA ouk ao e patetlah nang koehai awm seh.
14 and not only while I am alive do you do the kindness of YHWH with me, and I do not die,
Ka hring nathung dawk dueng laipalah, ka hringnae abaw nah hai BAWIPA pahrennae kai dawk sak hoeh laipalah awm hanh.
15 but you do not cut off your kindness from my house for all time, nor in YHWH’s cutting off the enemies of David, each one from off the face of the ground.”
Nange pahren lungmanae hai kaie imthung koehoi nâtuek hai pâpout hanh. BAWIPA ni Devit e taran talai dawk hoi he a pahma totouh pâpout hanh telah a ti.
16 So Jonathan cuts [a covenant] with the house of David, and YHWH has sought [it] from the hand of the enemies of David;
Jonathan ni Devit e imthungnaw hoi lawkkamnae a sak. Hot hah na raphoe pawiteh, Devit e taran kut dawk hoi BAWIPA ni pathung naseh.
17 and Jonathan adds to cause David to swear, because he loves him, for he has loved him [as] the love [for] his own soul.
Jonathan ni amahoima lungpataw e patetlah Devit koe lawk bout a kam.
18 And Jonathan says to him, “Tomorrow [is] the new moon, and you have been looked after, for your seat is looked after;
Jonathan ni Devit koe tangtho thaparei hnin na tahungnae a houng han dawkvah, na awm hoeh tie a kamnue han.
19 and on the third day you certainly come down, and have come to the place where you were hidden in the day of the work, and have remained near the stone of Ezel.
Apâthum hnin hnukkhu, karanglah cathuk nateh hete hno ao hnin hoi na kâhronae hmuen koe cet nateh, Ezel talung koe na o han.
20 And I shoot three of the arrows at the side, sending out at a mark for myself;
Nue e hmuen dawk ka e patetlah, pala kathum touh talung teng vah ka ka han.
21 and behold, I send the youth, [saying], Go, find the arrows. If I say to the youth at all, Behold, the arrows [are] on this side of you—take them and come, for [there is] peace for you, and there is no [adverse] word—[as] YHWH lives.
Khenhaw! cet nateh, pala hah tawng telah camo ka patoun han. Camo koevah khenhaw! pala teh na hnukkhu lah ao. Lat nateh hi tho, ka tetpawiteh BAWIPA a hring e patetlah nang hane damnae, roumnae lah ao han. Taki hane awm mahoeh.
22 And if thus I say to the young man, Behold, the arrows [are] beyond you—go, for YHWH has sent you away;
Hatei camo koevah khenhaw! pala hah ahla na koe ao ka tetpawiteh, na cei han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni na ceisak e han doeh.
23 as for the thing which you and I have spoken, behold, YHWH [is] between me and you for all time.”
Nang hoi kai ni dei roi e hno kong dawkvah khenhaw! nang hoi kaie rahak vah BAWIPA teh pou ao doeh telah a ti.
24 And David is hidden in the field, and it is the new moon, and the king sits down by the food to eat,
Devit teh law vah a kâhmo, thaparei nah siangpahrang teh bu ven hanelah a tahung.
25 and the king sits on his seat, as time by time, on a seat by the wall, and Jonathan rises, and Abner sits at the side of Saul, and David’s place is looked after.
Siangpahrang teh ouk a tahungnae hmuen tapang koe a tahung. Jonathan a kangdue teh Abner teh Sawl e a teng a tahung. Hatei Devit e hmuen teh a houng.
26 And Saul has not spoken anything on that day, for he said, “It [is] an accident; he is not clean—surely not clean.”
Hatei hote hnin nah Sawl ni banghai dei hoeh, hno buet buet touh mue toe. A thounghoeh dawk mue, thounghoeh katang mue telah a pouk.
27 And it comes to pass on the second day of the new moon, that David’s place is looked after, and Saul says to his son Jonathan, “Why has the son of Jesse not come in, either yesterday or today, to the food?”
Thaparei hnin tangtho vah Devit e bawitungkhung teh paroup a houng rah. Sawl ni a capa Jonathan koevah bangkongmaw Jesi capa heh paduem hoi sahnin hai buvennae koe a tho hoeh telah a pacei.
28 And Jonathan answers Saul, “David has earnestly asked [permission] from me [to go] to Beth-Lehem,
Jonathan ni Sawl koe, Devit ni Bethlehem cei hanelah pou a kâhei.
29 and he says, Please send me away, for we have a family sacrifice in the city, and my brother has given command to me himself, and now, if I have found grace in your eyes, please let me go away and see my brothers; therefore he has not come to the table of the king.”
Na cetsak yawkaw bangkongtetpawiteh, ka imthungnaw ni thuengnae a sak awh teh ka hmaunawnghanaw ni awm van loe telah lawk a thui. Na pahren pawiteh na cetsak loe. Ka hmaunawnghanaw na hmawt sak telah ati. Hatdawkvah siangpahrang caboi koe a thohoehnae doeh telah a ti.
30 And the anger of Saul burns against Jonathan, and he says to him, “Son of a perverse [woman] of rebellion! Have I not known that you are fixing on the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of the nakedness of your mother?
Jonathan koe Sawl ni a lung hmatara a khuek teh, napui ka mathout e a ca, Jesi capa teh yeirai na po nahane hoi na manu caici lah onae yeiraipo hanelah na rawi tie ka panuek hoeh maw.
31 For all the days that the son of Jesse lives on the ground you are not established, you and your kingdom; and now, send and bring him to me, for he [is] a son of death.”
Jesi capa heh talai dawk a hring nah yunglam nang hoi na ram kangning mahoeh. Atu karanglah kaw sak nateh, kai koe thokhai a due roeroe han telah Jonathan koe a dei pouh.
32 And Jonathan answers his father Saul and says to him, “Why is he put to death? What has he done?”
Jonathan ni Devit bang dawk maw a due han bang hno maw a sak telah a na pa Sawl hah a pacei.
33 And Saul casts the javelin at him to strike him, and Jonathan knows that it has been determined by his father to put David to death.
Sawl ni tahroe hoi thei hanlah a noung. Hote hno dawk Jonathan ni apa ni Devit a thei hanelah a noung roeroe tie a panue.
34 And Jonathan rises from the table in the heat of anger, and has not eaten food on the second day of the new moon, for he has been grieved for David, for his father put him to shame.
Lungkhuek lahoi Jonathan teh caboi koehoi a thaw teh apâhni hnin thapareinae dawk, bu ven van hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a na pa ni Devit hah yeiraipo sak dawkvah a lungmathoe.
35 And it comes to pass in the morning, that Jonathan goes out into the field for the appointment with David, and a little youth [is] with him.
Amom vah Jonathan teh Devit hoi lawk a kâta roinae koe camo hoi law lah a cei roi.
36 And he says to his youth, “Now run, find the arrows which I am shooting”; the youth is running, and he has shot the arrow, causing [it] to pass over him.
Camo koe ahni ni licung pali touh, hoi palanaw hah tawng telah atipouh. Camo a yawng lahun nah a hmalah palacung buet touh a pathui pouh.
37 And the youth comes to the place of the arrow which Jonathan has shot, and Jonathan calls after the youth, and says, “Is the arrow not beyond you?”
Jonathan ni kâ e pala a bonae koe a pha nah na hnukkhu lah doeh atipouh.
38 And Jonathan calls after the youth, “Speed, hurry, do not stand”; and Jonathan’s youth gathers the arrows, and comes to his lord.
Jonathan ni camo a hnuk lahoi a tanawt teh karangbat lah yawng atipouh. Camo ni Jonathan ni a kâ e pala hah a racawng teh a bawipa koe lah a ban.
39 And the youth has not known anything, only Jonathan and David knew the word.
Camo ni banghai panuek hoeh. Jonathan hoi Devit ni dueng hote kaawm hno hah a panue roi.
40 And Jonathan gives his weapons to the youth whom he has and says to him, “Go, carry into the city.”
Jonathan ni amae senehmaica naw hah camo koe a poe teh cet lawih, khopui dawk cetkhai atipouh.
41 The youth has gone, and David has risen from Ezel, at the south, and falls on his face to the earth, and bows himself three times, and they kiss one another, and they weep with one another, until David exerted himself;
Camo a cei hnukkhu Devit teh akalah a onae hmuen koehoi a thaw teh, talai dawk a hmaibei hoi vai thum touh a tabo. A kâpaco roi teh kahni touh hoi rei a ka roi. Devit teh hoe kacailah a ka.
42 and Jonathan says to David, “Go in peace, in that we have sworn—the two of us—in the Name of YHWH, saying, YHWH is between me and you, and between my seed and your seed—for all time”; and he rises and goes; and Jonathan has gone into the city.
BAWIPA ni nang hoi kaie a rahak thoseh, na miphun hoi ka miphun rahak thoseh, pout laipalah awm seh telah a dei teh, maimouh roi BAWIPA min lahoi lawkkam roi toung dawkvah, Devit koe karoumcalah cet lawi atipouh.
