1 Samuel 21
1 And David comes to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest, and Ahimelech trembles at meeting David and says to him, “Why [are] you alone, and no man [is] with you?”
David chu Ahimelech thempupa kimupi din Nob khopi’ah achen ahi. Ahimelech in David chu amu phat in ati anahot’in, “Itia nachangseh nahim? Ipijeh’a mikhatbeh in nahin kilhonpi louham?” tin ana dongin ahi.
2 And David says to Ahimelech the priest, “The king has commanded me [on] a matter, and he says to me, Let no man know anything of the matter about which I send you, and which I have commanded you; and [my] young men know [to go] to such and such a place.
David in adonbut’in, “Lengpan kin chomkhat’a eihinsol ahibouve, ipibol dia kahung hi koimacha hetsahlou dia eihil chah ahin, chule kasepaite chun katepna mun chom khat’a eikimupi diuva kaseipeh ahi,” ati
3 And now, what is there under your hand? Give five loaves into my hand, or that which is found.”
“Nehle chah ipipi nanei em? Changlhah pheng nga ahiloule, nehthei adang ipi um'em neipen,” ati.
4 And the priest answers David and says, “There is no common bread under my hand, but there is holy bread; if only the youths have been kept from women.”
Hichun thempupan jong, adonbut in “Keihon changlhah mai mai kaneipouve, ahinlah koitobang nailamcha-a numeiya kisuboh louho dingin changlhah theng kanei uve,” ati.
5 And David answers the priest and says to him, “Surely, if women have been restrained from us as before in my going out, then the vessels of the young men are holy, and it [is] a common way; and also, surely it is sanctified today in the vessel.”
Hichun David in, “Lungkham hihin, keiman, kamite ho adeh’a galsat dinga akiche tengule, numeija kona kikangse louho kaphal jipoi, gamkhol mai mai kache tengu jong hiche thudol’a kisuboh ngailou ahiuve, achutile hiche khohsah tum neiya kholjinna’a iti thenda diu ham!” ati.
6 And the priest gives the holy thing to him, for there was no bread there except the Bread of the Presentation, which is turned aside from the presence of YHWH to put hot bread [there] in the day of its being taken away.
Nehding dang aumtah lou jeh'in, thempupan changlhah kithensosa chu David apetai, ajeh chu changlhah Pathena tosa bou chu anei ahin, hichu athah akito nitengle changlhah chu kikhel dohji ahi. Chule hiche nikho nitah a chu thah ana kikoi khel ahi.
7 And there [is] a man of the servants of Saul detained before YHWH on that day, and his name [is] Doeg the Edomite, chief of the shepherds whom Saul has.
Edomakon Doeg kiti mipa khat, Saul gancha ching lamkaipu khat anaum khan, houin mun’abol lhing ding kin aneijeh in anaumden khan ahi.
8 And David says to Ahimelech, “And is there not spear or sword here under your hand? For I have taken neither my sword nor my vessels in my hand, for the matter of the king was urgent.”
David in Ahimeleh jah’a, “Nakoma tengcha ahiloule chemjam um'em? Lengpa kin’a kigoman louva kahung ahin, manchah ima kahin choilou ahi!” ati.
9 And the priest says, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you struck in the Valley of Elah, behold, it is wrapped in a garment behind the ephod, if you take it to yourself, take; for there is none other except it in this [place].” And David says, “There is none like it—give it to me.”
Hichun Ahimelech in, “Elah phaicham’a nathana pa, Philistine mipa Goliath chemjam bou chu kanei’e; hikoma thempu von kikoina nunglam’a khun pon’in akichun in aume, nadeilekilah in, adangvang aumpoi” ati. Chuin David in ajah’a, “Hichu neipen! Chusang’a phajo le hoijo chemjam adang umponte,” ati.
10 And David rises and flees on that day from the face of Saul, and comes to Achish king of Gath;
Hichun David Saul koma konin ajamdoh’in, Gath khopi Achish lengpa heng ajontan ahi.
11 and the servants of Achish say to him, “Is this not David, the king of the land? Is it not of this one [that] they sing in dances, saying, Saul struck among his thousands, and David among his myriads?”
Ahinlah Achish lenggam sung’a lamkaiho chu akomuva aumding chu akipah pouvin ahi. Amahon, “Hiche mipa hi agamsung’a leng changsa David chu hilou haimo? Miho lamuva, ama chung changa hi la asah uva Saul in mi asang asangin athat’in, David in vang sangsom somin athat’e, tia alachoipao chu hilou ham?” tin adonguve.
12 And David lays these words in his heart, and is exceedingly afraid of the face of Achish king of Gath,
Hiche athuseiho chu David in ajah phat’in Gath lengpa Achish chu akicha lheh jeng tan ahi.
13 and changes his behavior before their eyes, and feigns himself mad in their hand, and scribbles on the doors of the gate, and lets down his spittle to his beard.
Hijeh chun David jong aki ngolsah’in, kotpi phungdung ho chu ajihpolin, chule akhalhang dunga achilphon akaisah deh duhin jeng in ahi.
14 And Achish says to his servants, “Behold, you see a man acting as a madman; why do you bring him to me?
Achaina in Achish lengpan amiteho komah, “Hitobang mingol chu kahenga nahung sah’u ham?
15 Am I lacking madmen, that you have brought in this one to act as a madman before me? Does this one come into my house?”
Kakimvella hitobang mingol kaneilouva nabollu ham? Ipi dinga motchon chon a eisuboi ding bep’a ka-insunglai tah’a, kamasang’a hichepa hinpuilut nahiuvam?” tin ahung eojah jeng in ahi.
