1 Samuel 30
1 It happened, when David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, that Amalek had made a raid on the Negev, and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag, and burned it with fire,
Hnin thum touh a loum hnukkhu, Devit hoi a taminaw teh Ziklag kho a pha awh navah, Amaleknaw ni akalae ram hoi Ziklag kho hah a tuk awh. Ziklag kho a thei awh teh, hmai yo la a sawi awh toe.
2 and had taken captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great. They did not kill any, but carried them off, and went their way.
Kho thung kaawm e napui camo matawng buet touh hai thet laipalah san lah koung a hrawi awh toe.
3 When David and his men came to the city, look, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captive.
Devit hoi a taminaw teh hote kho dawk a pha awh navah, khenhaw! kho hmai a sawi awh teh, a yunaw, a canu capanaw hai san lah koung a ceikhai awh toe ti e a hmu navah,
4 Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
thouk a ka awh teh tha baw ditouh thouk a ka awh.
5 David's two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Devit e yu roi, Jezreel tami Ahinoam hoi Karmel tami Nabal yu Abigail hai a ceikhai awh toe.
6 David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David strengthened himself in Jehovah his God.
Devit teh puenghoi a lungrei a thai. Taminaw hai a lungrei a thai awh teh, Devit hah talung hoi dei hanelah a dei awh. Hatei, Devit teh BAWIPA doeh a kâuep.
7 David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, "Please bring me here the ephod." Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
Devit ni Ahimelek capa vaihma Abiathar koe Ephod hah pahren lahoi na lat pouh haw atipouh. Abiathar ni Ephod hah Devit koe a thokhai.
8 David inquired of Jehovah, saying, "If I pursue after this troop, shall I overtake them?" He answered him, "Pursue; for you shall surely overtake them, and shall without fail recover all."
Devit ni ahnimanaw hah ka pâlei awh pawiteh, ka pha awh han vaimoe telah BAWIPA koe a pacei. Ahni ni pâlei loe na pha mingming han, abuemlahoi koung na rungngang han doeh atipouh.
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the Wadi Besor, where those who were left behind stayed.
Hatdawkvah, Devit hoi a taminaw 600 touh ni a cei awh teh, Besor palang a pha awh navah, a tangawn teh hawvah a la o awh.
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they couldn't cross the Wadi Besor.
Devit hoi tami 400 touh ni a pâlei awh.
11 They found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they gave him water to drink.
Hahoi a yon dawk Izip tami buet touh a hmu awh teh, Devit koe a thokhai awh. Vaiyei a poe awh teh a ca, tui hai a nei sak awh.
12 They gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins. When he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
Hahoi thaibunglung paw phen buet touh, misurpaw phen kahni touh a poe awh. Ahni ni a ca teh a tha bout ao. Hnin thum touh thung catnet laipalah kahai lah ao toe.
13 David asked him, "To whom do you belong? Where are you from?" He said, "I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
Devit ni ahni koe nang teh api hoi maw na kâkuet, nâhoi maw na tho telah a pacei. Ahni ni kai teh, Amaleknaw koe san lah kaawm e Izip tami doeh, hnin thum touh hoehnahlan ka pataw dawkvah, ka bawipa ni na cei takhai.
14 We made a raid on the Negev of the Kerethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the Negev of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire."
Khereth ram akalah Judah ram akalah, Kalep ram akalah ka tuk awh teh, Ziklag kho hah hmai ka sawi awh toe.
15 David said to him, "Will you bring me down to this troop?" He said, "Swear to me by God that you will neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this troop." And he swore to him.
Devit ni ahnimanaw onae koe lam na patue thai han maw atipouh navah, ahni ni kai hah na thei hoeh nahan ka bawipa koe na poe hoe nahan, Cathut koe lawkkam hoi thoekâbo ei, hat pawiteh doeh ahnimouh onae koe lam na patue han ati e patetlah Devit ni thoe a kâbo.
16 When he had brought him down, look, they were spread around over all the ground, eating, drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
Hote camo ni lamthung a patue teh hawvah Devit a pha navah, ahnimanaw teh Filistin ram hoi Judah ram e hnopainaw dawkvah a canei awh teh a lamtu awh teh, talai dawk a kâyat awh.
17 David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day and he put them to death. Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men, who rode on camels and fled.
Devit ni tangmin hoi a tangtho tangmin totouh a thei teh, kalauk hoi ka yawng e thoundoun 400 touh hloilah tami buet touh hai hlout hoeh.
18 He recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; and David rescued his two wives.
Ameleknaw ni a lawp e pueng Devit ni bout a la teh, a yu roi hoi bout a hloutkhai.
19 There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor anything that they had taken to them. David brought back all.
Tami kacue kanaw canu capa hnopai lawp lah kaawm e pueng buet touh boehai pek laipalah, Devit ni koung bout a la.
20 He took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, and said, "This is David's spoil."
Hahoi Devit ni tuhu hoi maitohu naw hah a la teh, saring alouknaw hmalah a khoum teh, hetnaw teh Devit doeh ati awh.
21 David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom he also had made to stay at the Wadi Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. And when David came near to the people, he greeted them.
Hahoi tami 200 touh a tâwn awh teh, Devit hnuk a kâbang thai awh hoeh dawkvah, Besor palang vah ao saknae koe Devit teh bout a pha. Ahnimouh teh Devit hoi a thokhaienaw dawn hanelah a tâco awh. Devit ahnimouh koe a pha toteh kut a man awh.
22 Then every wicked and worthless one of the men who had gone with David answered, and they said, "Because they did not go with us, we will not give them anything of the spoil that we have recovered, except to each man his wife and his children. And let them take them, and depart."
Hatnavah, Devit hoi rei ka cet e taminaw thung dawk e tamikathoutnaw ni, ahnimouh teh maimouh hoi rei a cei awh van hoeh dawkvah, maimouh ni pang awh e hnopai thung dawk, amamae yuca hloilah bang hno hai poe mahoeh. Amamae yucanaw hah lat awh nateh, cet awh naseh atipouh awh.
23 Then David said, "You shall not do so after what Jehovah has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered into our hand the raiding party that came against us.
Devit ni hmaunawnghanaw, maimouh ni tuk awh e naw hah maimae kut dawk na ka poe e BAWIPA ni na poe e hnopainaw hah hottelah tet awh hanh.
24 So who will listen to you in this matter? For they are not inferior to you. For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so will his share be who remains with the supplies; they will share alike."
Hete hno dawk nangmae lawk hah apinimaw a tarawi han. Taran tuknae koe ka cet e ni a pang e patetlah hnopai karingkungnaw ni hai pang vah naseh. Suekâvan lah reirei pang van naseh telah a ti.
25 It was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
Hat hnin hoiyah Isarel miphunnaw hanelah, hottelah e phunglam hoi kâlawk teh a sak awh.
26 When David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah and to his friends, saying, "Look, a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of Jehovah."
Devit ni Ziklag kho bout a pha toteh, hetheh BAWIPA e taran kut dawk hoi e hnonaw doeh. Poehno lah na patawn awh telah lawk a thui teh,
27 He sent it to those who were in Bethel, and to those who were in Ramath Negev, and to those who were in Jattir,
Bethel kaawmnaw, Ramoth akalah kaawmnaw, Jattir kaawmnaw,
28 and to those who were in Aroer, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa,
Aroer kaawmnaw, Siphmoth kaawmnaw, Eshtemoa kaawmnaw,
29 and to those who were in Racal, and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenizzites.
Rekal kaawmnaw, Jerahmeel kaawmnaw, Ken kaawmnaw,
30 and to those who were in Hormah, and to those who were in Bor Ashan, and to those who were in Athach,
Hormah kaawmnaw, Khorshan kaawmnaw, Atha kaawmnaw,
31 and to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to stay.
Hebron kaawmnaw, Devit hoi a taminaw khosaknae koe kaawmnaw abuemlah Judah a hui kacuenaw koe a patawn.
