1 Samuel 22
1 And David goes from there, and escapes to the cave of Adullam, and his brothers hear, and all the house of his father, and they go down to him there;
Gath lamkah loh David cet tih Adullam lungko la a poeng a hal. Te vaengah a manuca rhoek neh a napa imkhui loh boeih a yaak uh tih anih taeng la suntla uh.
2 and every man in distress gathers themselves to him, and every man who has an exactor, and every man bitter in soul, and he is for head over them, and there are about four hundred men with him.
Te vaengah a caeknah kah hlang boeih, David taengah lai aka ba hlang boeih, hinglu khahing hlang boeih loh anih taengla coi uh thae. Te dongah amih taengah mangpa la om tih hlang ya li tluk loh anih taengah om uh.
3 And David goes from there to Mizpeh of Moab and says to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother come out with you, until I know what God does for me”;
David tah te lamloh Moab Mizpeh la cet tih, Moab manghai taengah, “Pathen loh kai ham a saii te ka ming duela a nu neh a pa he nang taengah cu mai saeh,” a ti nah.
4 and he leads them before the king of Moab, and they dwell with him all the days of David’s being in the fortress.
Te tlam te Moab manghai kah mikhmuh ah amih te a khuen tih rhalvong khuiah David a om tue khuiah Moab manghai neh kho a sak uh.
5 And the prophet Gad says to David, “You do not abide in a fortress, go, and you have entered the land of Judah for yourself”; and David goes and enters the forest of Hareth.
Tonghma Gad loh David taengah, “Rhalvong khuiah om voel boeh, cet lamtah Judah kho te namah hamla kun thil,” a ti nah. Te dongah David te cet tih Hereth duup te a paan.
6 And Saul hears that David has become known, and the men who [are] with him, and Saul is abiding in Gibeah, under the grove in Ramah, and his spear [is] in his hand, and all his servants [are] standing by him.
David neh anih taengkah hlang rhoek a phoe te Saul loh a yaak. Te vaengah Saul te Gibeah thaehhing kah kolanhlaeng hmuiah ngol tih a kut dongah caai a pom. A sal rhoek long khaw anih te boeih a pai thiluh.
7 And Saul says to his servants who are standing by him, “Now hear, sons of Benjamin; does the son of Jesse also give fields and vineyards to all of you? Does he appoint all of you [to be] heads of thousands and heads of hundreds?
Saul loh amah aka pai thil a sal rhoek te, “Benjamin ca rhoek loh ya uh lah, Jesse capa loh nangmih boeih te khohmuen neh misur te m'paek aya? Nangmih te thawngkhat mangpa neh yakhat mangpa la boeih ng'khueh aya?
8 For all of you have conspired against me, and there is none uncovering my ear about my son’s cutting [a covenant] with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you grieving for me, and uncovering my ear, that my son has raised up my servant against me, to lie in wait as [at] this day.”
Nangmih loh kai he boeih nan hlaengtang thil uh ngawn dae kai capa loh Jesse capa neh paipi a saii vaengah kai hna ah a kun moenih. Tihnin kah bangla kai he rhongngol thil ham ka capa loh ka sal a pai puei te kai ham ko aka thae tih kai hna ah aka thui khaw na om uh moenih,” a ti nah.
9 And Doeg the Edomite answers, who is set over the servants of Saul, and says, “I have seen the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech son of Ahitub,
Tedae Saul kah sal rhoek taengah aka pai Edom hoel Doeg loh a doo tih, “Jesse capa te ka hmuh, Nob kah Ahitub capa Ahimelek taengla pawk coeng.
10 and he inquires of YHWH for him, and has given provision to him, and has given the sword of Goliath the Philistine to him.”
Anih ham BOEIPA a dawt pah tih anih te lampu a paek. Te phoeiah Philisti Goliath kah cunghang te anih taengla a paek,” a ti nah.
11 And the king sends to call Ahimelech son of Ahitub, the priest, and all the house of his father, the priests, who [are] in Nob, and all of them come to the king;
Te dongah manghai loh Ahitub capa khosoih Ahimelek neh Nob ah khosoih aka bi a napa imkhui boeih te a tah tih a khue. Te dongah amih te manghai taengla boeih ha pawk uh.
12 and Saul says, “Now hear, son of Ahitub”; and he says, “Here I [am], my lord.”
Saul loh, “Ahitub capa, hnatun lah,” a ti nah vanbangla, “Ka om he ka boeipa,” a ti nah.
13 And Saul says to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, by your giving bread and a sword to him, and to inquire of God for him, to rise against me, to lie in wait, as [at] this day?”
Te phoeiah anih te Saul loh, “Balae tih kai he nang neh Jesse capa loh nan hlaengtang thil tih, anih te buh neh cunghang na paek. Tihnin kah bangla kai aka pai thil tih rhongngol thil ham a anih yueng la Pathen na dawt? a ti nah.
14 And Ahimelech answers the king and says, “And who among all your servants [is] as David—faithful, and son-in-law of the king, and has turned aside to your council, and is honored in your house?
Ahimelek loh manghai te a doo tih, “David bangla aka cak tih manghai cava te na sal rhoek boeih khuiah ulae aka om. Na taengom lamkah nong mai cakhaw na imkhui ah a oep uh.
15 Today have I begun to inquire of God for him? Far be it from me! Do not let the king lay anything against his servant, against any of the house of my father, for your servant has known nothing of all this, little or much.”
Tihnin ah anih ham Pathen ka dawt he ka uem a, kai lamkah tah savisava, manghai loh a sal neh a pa cako boeih taengah olcen kama khueh boel saeh. Na sal loh hekah olka a yit a len khaw boeih a ming moenih,” a ti nah.
16 And the king says, “You surely die, Ahimelech, you and all the house of your father.”
Tedae manghai loh, “Ahimelek, namah khaw na pa imkhui boeih khaw na duek rhoe na duek ni,” a ti nah.
17 And the king says to the runners, those standing by him, “Turn around, and put the priests of YHWH to death, because their hand [is] also with David, and because they have known that he is fleeing, and have not uncovered my ear”; and the servants of the king have not been willing to put forth their hand to come against the priests of YHWH.
Te phoeiah manghai loh a taengkah aka pai aka cungpoeh rhoek taengah, “BOEIPA kah khosoih te vael uh lamtah ngawn. Amih kut khaw David taengah nuen van tih David a yong te a ming uh lalah kai hna ah phoe puei uh pawh,” a ti nah. Tedae BOEIPA khosoih rhoek cuk thil ham neh a kut hlah thil ham tah manghai kah sal rhoek loh huem uh pawh.
18 And the king says to Doeg, “Turn around, and come against the priests”; and Doeg the Edomite turns around, and comes against the priests himself, and in that day puts to death eighty-five men bearing a linen ephod,
Te vaengah manghai loh Doeg te, “Doeg nang loh vael lamtah khosoih rhoek te cuuk thil,” a ti nah. Te dongah Edom hoel Doeg loh khosoih rhoek te a vael tih a cuuk thil. Te dongah takhlawk hnisui aka vah hlang sawmrhet panga te hnin at dongah a duek sak.
19 and Nob, the city of the priests, he has struck by the mouth of the sword, from man and to woman, from infant and to suckling, and ox, and donkey, and sheep, by the mouth of the sword.
Khosoih rhoek kah khopuei Nob te khaw cunghang ha neh a ngawn tih, tongpa khaw huta, camoe, cahni khaw, vaito, laak neh tu khaw cunghang ha neh a thup.
20 And one son of Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, escapes, and his name [is] Abiathar, and he flees after David,
Tedae Ahitub capa Ahimelek kah a capa pakhat tah loeih. Anih ming tah Abiathar tih David hnukah yong.
21 and Abiathar declares to David that Saul has slain the priests of YHWH.
Saul loh BOEIPA kah khosoih rhoek a ngawn te Abiathar loh David taengla a puen pah.
22 And David says to Abiathar, “I have known on that day when Doeg the Edomite [is] there, that he certainly declares [it] to Saul; I have brought [it] around to every person of the house of your father;
David loh Abiathar taengah, “Edom hoel Doeg loh Saul taengah puen rhoe puen pahoi ni tila amah tekah khohnin ah ka ming, na pa imkhui kah a hinglu boeih te kai ni laikung coeng.
23 dwell with me; do not fear; for he who seeks my life seeks your life; for you [are my] charge with me.”
Kai taengah khosa lamtah kai kah hinglu han toem khaw, nang kah hinglu han toem akhaw anih te rhih boeh. Kai taengah tah na sueng coeng,” a ti nah.
