1 Samuel 18
1 It happened, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
Saul taengaha thui te a khah van neh Jonathan kah a hinglu neh David kah a hinglu he hlaengtang uh rhoi. Te dongah Jonathan te a lungnah tih anih khaw Jonathan loh amah kah hinglu banglaa lungnah.
2 Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.
Tekah khohnin lamkah longah David te Saul loh a loh tih, a napa im la bal sak voel pawh.
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
David te Jonathan loh amah hinglu bangla a lungnah dongah moia boh pah.
4 Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him, and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his belt.
Te dongah Jonathan loh a hnikul tea pit tih a himbai khaw, a cunghang khaw, a lii neh a hni khaw Davida paek.
5 Then Saul set him over the men of war, and David went out, succeeding wherever Saul sent him. And it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
A cungkuem dongah Saul loh aniha tueih vanbangla David khaw cet tih a cangbam. Te dongah anih te Saul caemtloek hlang rhoek kah soaha khueh tih pilnam boeih kah mikhmuh ah khaw Saul kah a sal rhoek kah mikhmuh ah khaw mikhmai then a dang.
6 It happened as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music.
Philisti aka tloek lamloh David ha bal phoeiah amih te khaw bal uh. Te vaengah manghai Saul doe hamla Israel khopuei tom lamkah huta rhoek loh kamrhing neh, toembael neh, kohoenah neha lam neha hlai uh tih ha pawk uh.
7 The women sang one to another as they played, and said, "Saul has slain his thousands, David his ten thousands."
Te vaengah huta rhoek loh a nueih doela a doo uh tih, “Saul loh thawngkhat, thawngkhat, David loh thawngrhaa ngawn,” a ti nah.
8 Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him; and he said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands. What can he have more but the kingdom?"
Te vaengah Saul te ta-oe lungoe. Tekah olka te a mikhmuh ah thae ni a huet pah. Te dongah Saul loh, “David tah thawngrhaa paek uh tih kai tloe tah thawngkhat m'paek uh. Ram aka om duen khaw anih ham khoep thil koinih,” a ti.
9 Saul viewed David with suspicion from that day and forward.
Te khohnin lamkah long tah Saul loh David te thaesainah neh a mikmuelh coeng.
10 It happened on the next day, that a harmful spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house. David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;
A vuen ah tah Pathen kah mueihla thae te Saul soah thaihtak tiha im khui aha tonghma pah. Khohnin khohnin ah David loh a kut neh rhotoeng a tum pah dae Saul kut dongah caai ni a om.
11 and Saul threw the spear; for he said, "I will pin David even to the wall." David escaped from his presence twice.
Te vaengah Saul loh David te, “Ka ngawn eh?,” a ti coeng dae pangbueng te caai neh a khoh. Te vaengah David te Saul mikhmuh lamloh hnavoeia paelhael tak.
12 Saul was afraid of David, because Jehovah was with him, and had departed from Saul.
David he BOEIPA loh a om puei dongah Saul loh a rhih. Tedae David amah te Saul taeng lamloh vik nong.
13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
Te dongah Saul loh David te amah taeng lamloha tueih tih amah yueng la thawngkhat kah mangpa la a khueh. Te dongah David khaw pilnam kah mikhmuh la mop van tih pongpa van.
14 David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and Jehovah was with him.
A longpuei ah David te BOEIPA loh boeiha cangbam tih anih tea om puei.
15 When Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
Anih loh bahoenga cangbam te Saul loh a hmuh vaengah a mikhmuh ah bakuep coeng.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
David he Israel neh Judah pum loh a lungnah dongah amah amih mikhmuh ah mop van tih pongpa van.
17 Saul said to David, "Look, my elder daughter Merob, I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight Jehovah's battles." For Saul said, "Do not let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him."
Te vaengah David te Saul loh, “Ka canua ham Merab he na yuu la kam pae eh?, kamah taengah tatthai ca la dawk om lamtah BOEIPA kah caemtloek te vathoh thil,” a ti nah. Tedae Saul loh, “Ka kut loh David cuuk thil pawt cakhaw Philisti kut loh cuuk thil kolo saeh,” a ti.
18 David said to Saul, "Who am I, and what is my life, or my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?"
Tedae David loh Saul taengah, “Manghai cava la om ham akhaw Israel khuiah kai he ulae? A pa kah a hui a ko khuiah kai kah hingnah he balae?,” a ti nah.
19 But it happened at the time when Merob, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.
Tedae Saul canu Merab te David taengla paek ham a tuea pha vaengah tah anih te Mekoloti Adriel yuu laa paek.
20 Mikal, Saul's daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
David loh Saul canu Mikhala lungnah tih Saul taenglaa puen pa uh hatah olka te a mikhmuh aha thuem sak.
21 And Saul thought, "I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David, "You shall this day be my son-in-law a second time."
Te vaengah Saul loh, “Anih ka paek daengah ni David taengah hlaeh laa om pa vetih Philisti kut loh a cuuk thil eh?,” a ti. Te dongah Saul loh David te, “Tihnin ah a pabae la kan cava nah eh,” a ti nah.
22 Then Saul commanded his servants, "Talk with David secretly, and say, 'Look, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. So now therefore be the king's son-in-law.'"
Te phoeiah Saul loh a sal rhoek te, “David tea huep la voek uh lamtah, 'Manghai loh nang ng'ngaih tih a sal boeih long khaw nang n'lungnah coeng dongah manghai cava la om laeh,’ ti nah,” tila a uen.
23 Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said, "Does it seems to you a little thing to be the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man, and insignificant?"
Tekah ol te Saul kah sal rhoek loh David hna aha thui uh. Tedae David loh, “Na mikhmuh ah manghai loh n'cava nah te rhaemaih la, kai tah vawtthoek hlang neh rhaidaeng la,” a ti nah.
24 The servants of Saul told him, saying, "David spoke like this."
Te dongah Saul taengla a sal rhoek te puen uh tih David kah a thui olka tea thui pah.
25 Saul said, "You shall tell David, 'The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies.'" Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
Saul loh, “David te thui pah, manghai hamla maana kuek moenih, manghai kah thunkha rhoek taengah phuloh, ham Philisti kah yahhmui yakhat mah,” a ti nah. Te vaengah David te Philisti kut ah cungku sak ham Saul loh a moeh.
26 When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. The days were not expired;
Te olka te a sal rhoek loh David taenglaa puen pa uh vaengah tah, manghai loh a cava nah ham te, David mikhmuh ah khaw olka tluek tluek khui tih khohnin khaw thok sak voel pawh.
27 and David arose and went, he and his men, and killed of the Philistines one hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Mikal his daughter as wife.
Te dongah David te thoo tih a hlang rhoek te a caeh puei. Te phoeiah Philisti hlang yahnih te a ngawn. Amih kah yahhmui te David loh a khuen tih manghai loh a cava nah ham a kuek te manghai taengaha cuum sak. Te daengaha yuu la a canu Mikhal te Saul loh David taengaha paek.
28 When Saul saw and knew that Jehovah was with David, and that all Israel loved him,
Saul loh a sawt vaengah David taengah BOEIPA om tih Saul canu Mikhal loh Davida lungnah tea ming.
29 then he was even more afraid of David. So Saul was David's enemy continually.
Davida rhih te Saul loh koep koep a koei dongah hnin takuem ah Saul he David kah thunkha la a om pah.
30 Then the leaders of the Philistines went forth: and it happened, as often as they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly esteemed.
Philisti mangpa rhoek ha pawk tih amih taengah aka cet dingdoeng laa om vaengah khaw Saul kah a sal rhoek te David loh boeiha cangbam dongah a ming khaw then tangkik.
