1 Samuel 19
1 Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Saul's son Jonathan liked David very much.
Saul loh a capa Jonathan taengah khaw a sal rhoek taengah khaw David te duek sak hamla boeiha thui pah. Tedae Saul capa Jonathan longtah David te bahoenga ngaih.
2 So Jonathan told David, saying, "Saul seeks to kill you. Please take care of yourself in the morning, and keep hidden in a secret place.
Te dongah Jonathan te David taengaha puen tih, “A pa Saul loh nang he duek sak hamla m'mae coeng, te dongah mincang duela ngaithuen uh, yinhnuk ah khosa lamtah thuh uh,
3 I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will talk with my father about you; and if I see anything, I will tell you."
Kai khaw ka cet vetih na om nah lohma kah a pa kut dongah kana pai bitni. Te vaengah nang kawng te kamah loh a pa taengah ka thui pah vetih mebang ka hmuh akhaw nang taengah ka puen bitni,” a ti nah.
4 Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, "Do not let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you;
David kawng te Jonathan loh a napa Saul taengaha then la a thui pah tih, “A sal taeng neh David taengah manghai nang loh lai khueh boeh, anih loh nang taengah lai a khueh van moenih, a khoboe khaw nang taengah bahoeng then.
5 for he put his life in his hand, and struck the Philistine, and the LORD worked a great victory for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?"
A kut dongah a hinglu tea hmoel tih Philistia ngawn khaw, BOEIPA loh Israel boeih hama saii loeihnah tanglue na hmuh vaengah na kohoe ta. Tedae balae tih ommongsitoe thii dongah na tholh vetih, lunglilungla la Davida duek eh?,” a ti nah.
6 Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul swore, "As the LORD lives, he shall not be put to death."
Saul loh Jonathan ol tea yaak vaengah, “BOEIPA kah hingnah rhang neh ka ngawn mahpawh,” tila Saul loh a caeng.
7 Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as before.
Te dongah Jonathan loh David tea khue tih olka he khaw anih taengah Jonathan loh boeiha thui pah. Te phoeiah David te Jonathan loh Saul taenglaa khuen tih hlaem hlavai kah bangla a mikhmuh aha om pah.
8 There was war again. David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and killed them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.
Caemtloek loh a koei tih a om vaengah David te hlah uh tih Philisti te a vathoh thil. Te vaengah amih te hmasoe len neh a ngawn tih Philisti khaw David mikhmuh lamkah rhaelrham uh.
9 A harmful spirit from the LORD was on Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand.
Tedae BOEIPA kah mueihla thae loh Saul soaha om vaengah tah a kut dongkah caai neh a im khuiah ngol. Te vaengah David loh kuta luem nah.
10 Saul sought to pin David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he stuck the spear into the wall. David fled, and escaped that night.
Saul loh David neh pangbueng te caai neh daeng rhenten hamlaa moeh coeng dae Saul kah mikhmuh aha phaelhael tak dongah caai te pangbueng dongah tlaeh. David khaw tekah khoyin ah rhaelrham tih a poeng a hal.
11 Saul sent messengers to David's house, to watch him, and to kill him in the morning. Mikal, David's wife, told him, saying, "If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed."
Te dongah anih te dawn tih mincang ah ngawn hamla Saul loh David im la puencawna hlah. Tedae a yuu Mikhal te David taengla puen tih, “Na hinglu ham khoyin ah na loeih pawt koinih thangvuen ah na duek pawn ni,” a ti nah.
12 So Mikal let David down through the window. He went, fled, and escaped.
Te dongah Mikhal loh David te bangbuet longaha suntlak sak tiha caeh sak daengah yong pueng tih a poeng a hal pueng.
13 Mikal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair at its head, and covered it with the clothes.
Te phoeiah Mikhal loh sithui tea loh tih baiphaih dongaha soei. A lu ah maae mula khueh pah tih himbai neha khuk.
14 When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, "He is sick."
David te tuuk hamla Saul loh puencawn rhoek a tueih vaengah tah, “David a sa tlo,” a ti nah.
15 Then he sent the messengers to see David, saying, "Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him."
Tedae David te sawt hamla Saul loh puencawn rhoek tea tueih tih, “Anih te ngawn hamla baiphaih neh kamah taengla hang khuen uh,” a ti nah.
16 When the messengers came in, look, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats' hair at its head.
Tedae baiphaih dongkah sithui vik te a lu dongah maae mul hoeng la puencawn rhoek loh kaka thoeng thiluh.
17 Saul said to Mikal, "Why have you deceived me thus, and let my enemy go, so that he is escaped?" Mikal answered Saul, "He said, 'Let me go. Why should I kill you?'"
Te dongah Saul loh Mikhal te, “Balae tih he tluk la kai nam phok, ka thunkha te na tueih tiha loeih,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Mikhal loh Saul te, “Amah loh kai taengah, 'Kai he n'tueih mai,’ a ti balae tih nan duek sak eh,” a ti nah.
18 Now David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and lived in the dwellings.
David te yong tiha loeih phoeiah Ramah kah Samuel tea paan. Te vaengah Saul loh anih taengaha saii te a taengah boeiha thui pah. Te phoeiah Samuel neh cet rhoi tih Naioth ah om rhoi.
19 And it was told to Saul, saying, "Look, David is in the dwellings at Ramah."
Tedae Saul taenglaa puen pa uh tih, “Ramah Naioth ah David om ke,” a ti nah.
20 And Saul sent messengers to capture David. But when they saw a company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they prophesied.
Te dongah David tuuk hamla Saul loh puencawn rhoek te a tueih. Te vaengah tonghma tarhoi te tonghma uh tih amih taengah Samuel cawkdawk la a pai te a hmuh uh. Saul kah puencawn rhoek khaw Pathen Mueihla loh a om thil dongah amih khaw boeih tonghma uh.
21 When it was told to Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
Saul taenglaa puen uh dongah puencawna tloe rhoek a tueih hatah amih khaw nunan tonghma uh. Te dongah Saul loh a pathum duela a rhaep tih puencawn rhoek te a tueih hatah amih khaw tonghma uh sumsoek.
22 And Saul became very angry, and he himself also went to Ramah, and came to the cistern of the threshing floor that is on the bare hill. And he asked, "Where are Samuel and David?" And one said, "Look, they are in the dwellings at Ramah."
Te dongah amah khaw Ramah la cet tih Seku kah tangrhom puei la pawk. Te vaengaha dawt tih, “Samuel neh David ta?,” a ti nah hatah, “Ramah Naioth ah om ke,” a ti na uh.
23 So he went to the dwellings at Ramah. Then the Spirit of God came on him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to the dwellings in Ramah.
Te dongah Ramah Naioth la pahoi cet. Tedae anih khaw Pathen Mueihla loh a om thil dongah cet cet tih Ramah Naioth a pha duela voek tonghma bal.
24 And he stripped off his clothes and prophesied before them, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Thus it is said, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"
Amah khaw a himbaia pit tih Samuel mikhmuh ah amah tonghma bal. Te khothaih puet khoyin puet pumtling la yalh. Te dongah, “Saul khaw tonghma khuikah ni nama?” a ti uh.
