1 Samuel 22
1 David therefore departed there, and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and his father's house heard it, they went down there to him.
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 Everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented, gathered themselves to him; and he became captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.
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 David went there to Mizpeh of Moab, and he said to the king of Moab, "Please let my father and my mother stay with you, until I know what God will do 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 He brought them before the king of Moab; and they lived with him all the while that David was in the stronghold.
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 The prophet Gad said to David, "Do not stay in the stronghold. Depart, and go into the land of Judah." Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hereth.
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 Saul heard that David had been discovered, and the men who were with him. Now Saul was in Gibeah, sitting under the tamarisk tree at the high place, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about 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 he said to them, "Hear now, you Benjamites. Will the son of Jesse give everyone of you fields and vineyards, will he make you all captains of thousands and captains 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 that all of you have conspired against me, and there is none who discloses to me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you who is sorry for me, or discloses to me that my son has stirred 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 Then Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered and said, "I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the 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 He inquired of God for him, gave him food, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine."
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 Then the king sent to call Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests who were in Nob: and they came all of them 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 Saul said, "Hear now, you son of Ahitub." He answered, "Here I am, my lord."
Saul loh, “Ahitub capa, hnatun lah,” a ti nah vanbangla, “Ka om he ka boeipa,” a ti nah.
13 Saul said to him, "Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread, and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, that he should 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 Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, "Who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and a commander over your bodyguard, and 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 Have I today begun to inquire of God for him? Be it far from me. Do not let the king impute anything to his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for your servant knows nothing of all this, less or more."
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 The king said, "You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you, and all your father's house."
Tedae manghai loh, “Ahimelek, namah khaw na pa imkhui boeih khaw na duek rhoe na duek ni,” a ti nah.
17 The king said to the guard who stood about him, "Turn, and kill the priests of the LORD; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and did not disclose it to me." But the servants of the king wouldn't put forth their hand to fall on the priests of the LORD.
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 The king said to Doeg, "Turn and attack the priests." Doeg the Edomite turned, and he attacked the priests, and he killed on that day eighty-five people who wore 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 He struck Nob, the city of the priests, with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and nursing babies, and cattle and donkeys and sheep.
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 One of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
Tedae Ahitub capa Ahimelek kah a capa pakhat tah loeih. Anih ming tah Abiathar tih David hnukah yong.
21 Abiathar told David that Saul had slain the LORD's priests.
Saul loh BOEIPA kah khosoih rhoek a ngawn te Abiathar loh David taengla a puen pah.
22 Then David said to Abiathar, "I knew on that day that Doeg the Edomite would surely tell Saul. I am responsible for all the lives of your father's house.
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 Stay with me, do not be afraid; for he who seeks my life seeks your life. For with me you shall be in safeguard."
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.
