1 Samuel 24
1 And it comes to pass, when Saul has turned back from after the Philistines, that they declare to him, saying, “Behold, David [is] in the wilderness of En-gedi.”
Saul in Philistine mite agasat-a ahung kile jouvin, David En-gedi gamthip mun’ah aluttai tithu aseipeh tauvin ahi.
2 And Saul takes three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and goes to seek David and his men, on the front of the rocks of the wild goats,
Hijeh chun Saul in Israel mite jousea konin galsat them cheh mi sangthum akilhen doh’in David le amite holding in gam-kelcha umna songkol lang’ah aga hol tauvin ahi.
3 and he comes to folds of the flock, on the way, and there [is] a cave, and Saul goes in to cover his feet; and David and his men are abiding in the sides of the cave.
Saul chu ahunga ahile lampia kelngoi honlah khat agatoh khan, hiche laiya chun songkohom khat aumin, hikoma chu chomkhat kicholdo din aluttai, hiche songko sunga adan sungnung lang ma ma-a chu David le aloite kisella uma ahi.
4 And the men of David say to him, “Behold, the day of which YHWH said to you, Behold, I am giving your enemy into your hand, and you have done to him as it is good in your eyes”; and David rises and cuts off the skirt of the upper robe which [is] on Saul with stealth.
David aloihon ajah a guhthimin, “Tuhi nang dia phat kijen petcha ahi! Tunia hi Pakaiyin asei, ‘Keiman namel mapa chu nakhut’a kapeh doha, nangman naphatsah lamlama nabol ding ahi.’tia asei nikho chu tunia hi hung lhunga ahitai,” atiuve. Hijeh chun David jong akipatdoh in, kangchan akithol thol’in, Saul sangkhol chol mong chu aga-at tan peh tan ahi.
5 And it comes to pass afterward that the heart of David strikes him, because that he has cut off the skirt which [is] on Saul,
Ahin David in Saul sangkhol chol mong chu aga-at tan chu alungsunga nommo asan ahi.
6 and he says to his men, “Far be it from me, by YHWH; I do not do this thing to my lord—to the anointed of YHWH—to put forth my hand against him, for he [is] the anointed of YHWH.”
Hijeh chun amite jah’a, “Pakaiyin ahet ahi, hiche hi kanabol louding dol ahi, ajeh chu amahi ka pakai le kaleng ahi. Pakaiyin adeilou, ka Pakai le ka lengpa chunga hiche kabol hi alhendohsa le athaonu doudal kahi,” atin ahi.
7 And David subdues his men by words, and has not permitted them to rise against Saul; and Saul has risen from the cave, and goes on the way;
Hijeh chun David in a sepaite chu atuhtang nah nah in, Saul chu atha sah tapon ahi. Saul athouvin songko adalha a, alampi’ah akiche phat- in,
8 and David rises afterward, and goes out from the cave, and calls after Saul, saying, “My lord, O king!” And Saul looks attentively behind him, and David bows—face to the earth—and pays respect.
David ahung potdoh'in anungjuiyin asamin, “Ka pakai le lengpa!” atileh Saul ahung kihei phat’in ama jabolnan David tol’a abohkhup in chibai aboh in ahi.
9 And David says to Saul, “Why do you hear the words of man, saying, Behold, David is seeking your calamity?
Chule, hitin Saul jah’a asamin, “Ipibolla nangin mipiho thusei na ngaiya, keihin nang chu kasuhgenthei dana nagel ham?
10 Behold, this day your eyes have seen how that YHWH has given you into my hand today in the cave; and [one] said to slay you, and [my eye] has pity on you, and I say, I do not put forth my hand against my lord, for he [is] the anointed of YHWH.
Tuni nikhotah jeng’a jong nangman namit tah in namun ahi, hichu atahbeh ahi. Ajeh chu Pakai in kei khotona noiyah songko sung jenga jong nakoijin ahi. Kamiteho phabep khat in katha ding hitam tia eidohuva, kana noplou ahi. Ipijeh inem itileh, ‘keiman ka lengpa sugenthei louding kahi-amahi Pakai thaonu sa ahi,’
11 And my father, see, indeed see the skirt of your upper robe in my hand; for by cutting off the skirt of your upper robe, and I have not slain you, know and see that there is not evil and transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against you, and you are hunting my soul to take it!
Ven kapa, kakhutna ipi kachoi em? na sangkholchol among kachelhah chu bou kachoi ahibouve, nathat pong kate. Nasugenthei pong kate ti vetsahna’a keiman nangma kasuhgenthei lou ding chule nangin thading in nei dal le le jong lechun nachunga kachonset lou ding ahi,” ati.
12 YHWH judges between me and you, and YHWH has avenged me of you, and my hand is not on you;
“Pathen chu eini kaha ahetoh, athutan ahi. Ijemtia kei chunga nabolla ahile Pathen in gotna napeh ding ahi, ahinlah ken vang nang kasuhgenthei lou ding ahi.
13 as the allegory of the ancients says, Wickedness goes out from the wicked, and my hand is not on you.
Thuchih luiyin khat in, ‘Miphalou hoa konin, thil phalou tohdoh in aume,’ ati. Hijeh chun nang dounan itihchan hijongle kakhut kalap louding ahi.
14 After whom has the king of Israel come out? After whom are you pursuing? After a dead dog! After one flea!
Israel lengpa chu koipen nunga hung hija, koipen thunung nahin dal mong mong ham? Uicha thisa khat tou ham, uili khattou nung dal nahim?
15 And YHWH has been for judge, and has judged between me and you, indeed, He sees and pleads my cause, and delivers me out of your hand.”
Hijeh chu Pakai chu thutan in pang henlang, keile nang kikah’ah thutan pa hijing jeng hen,” ati.
16 And it comes to pass, when David completes to speak these words to Saul, that Saul says, “Is this your voice, my son David?” And Saul lifts up his voice, and weeps.
Chuin David in aseiding jouse asei jou phatin, Saul in ahin donbut in, “Thu hin sei a chu chapa David mong mong nahi hinam?” atin akap pantan ahi.
17 And he says to David, “You [are] more righteous than I; for you have done me good, and I have done you evil;
Chule David koma aseiyin, “Nang hi kei sangin nadih e, ajeh chu keiman nachunga thilphalou jeng kabollin ahin nangman vang thilpha jeng in nei lethuh jing jenge,” atitai.
18 and you have declared today how that you have done good with me, how that YHWH shut me up into your hand, and you did not slay me,
“Henge, nangman hepina dihtah in tunin nei ngailun, nei tha theina ding laitah a jong neithat pon ahi.
19 and that a man finds his enemy, and has sent him away in a good manner; and YHWH repays you good for that which you did to me this day.
Hitobang hi mihem khat’in amelma pa ato khah’a ahile, damsella alhadoh mong mong ding hinam? Hijeh chun tunia kei dinga thilpha naboldoh jeh in, Pakaiyin thilpha nabolpeh teitei hen.
20 And now, behold, I have known that you certainly reign, and the kingdom of Israel has stood in your hand;
Chule tun keiman kichentah in kahetai, nangma Israelte leng nahung hitei tei ding ahi.
21 and now, swear to me by YHWH [that] you do not cut off my seed after me, nor do you destroy my name from the house of my father.”
Hijeh chun tunin Pakai minin kahenga kitep’in, ‘Kathi nungle kainsung jong na hinghoiya, kakhanggui le kachilhah jong nei hoi peh teijin!” ati.
22 And David swears to Saul, and Saul goes to his house, and David and his men have gone up to the fortress.
Chuin David jong Saul koma akihahsel in, hichun Saul jong inlam ajon tan; David le asepai chengse akulpiu muna akaltou tauvin ahi.
