< 1 Samuel 21 >

1 Then David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest. And Ahimelech was shaking in fear when he met David, and said to him, "Why are you alone, and no one with you?"
David chu Ahimelech thempupa kimupi din Nob khopi’ah achen ahi. Ahimelech in David chu amu phat in ati anahot’in, “Itia nachangseh nahim? Ipijeh’a mikhatbeh in nahin kilhonpi louham?” tin ana dongin ahi.
2 And David said to the priest, "The king has given me orders, and he instructed me, 'No one must know of the matter about which I send you, or about your orders; and I have arranged to meet the young men at a certain place.'
David in adonbut’in, “Lengpan kin chomkhat’a eihinsol ahibouve, ipibol dia kahung hi koimacha hetsahlou dia eihil chah ahin, chule kasepaite chun katepna mun chom khat’a eikimupi diuva kaseipeh ahi,” ati
3 Now, if there are five loaves of bread under your control, give them into my hand, or whatever there is."
“Nehle chah ipipi nanei em? Changlhah pheng nga ahiloule, nehthei adang ipi um'em neipen,” ati.
4 And the priest answered David, and said, "There is no common bread in my control, but there is holy bread. If the young men have kept themselves from women, they may eat of it."
Hichun thempupan jong, adonbut in “Keihon changlhah mai mai kaneipouve, ahinlah koitobang nailamcha-a numeiya kisuboh louho dingin changlhah theng kanei uve,” ati.
5 And David answered the priest, and said to him, "Truly women have been kept from us as always when I set out. All the young men are holy, even when it is an ordinary mission. So how much more today will their vessels be holy?"
Hichun David in, “Lungkham hihin, keiman, kamite ho adeh’a galsat dinga akiche tengule, numeija kona kikangse louho kaphal jipoi, gamkhol mai mai kache tengu jong hiche thudol’a kisuboh ngailou ahiuve, achutile hiche khohsah tum neiya kholjinna’a iti thenda diu ham!” ati.
6 So the priest gave him what had been consecrated, for there was no bread there but the show bread, that had been removed before YHWH, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.
Nehding dang aumtah lou jeh'in, thempupan changlhah kithensosa chu David apetai, ajeh chu changlhah Pathena tosa bou chu anei ahin, hichu athah akito nitengle changlhah chu kikhel dohji ahi. Chule hiche nikho nitah a chu thah ana kikoi khel ahi.
7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before YHWH; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the best of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul.
Edomakon Doeg kiti mipa khat, Saul gancha ching lamkaipu khat anaum khan, houin mun’abol lhing ding kin aneijeh in anaumden khan ahi.
8 David said to Ahimelech, "Isn't there here under your control spear or sword? For I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste."
David in Ahimeleh jah’a, “Nakoma tengcha ahiloule chemjam um'em? Lengpa kin’a kigoman louva kahung ahin, manchah ima kahin choilou ahi!” ati.
9 The priest said, "The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, look, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind an ephod. If you will take that, take it; for there is no other except that here." David said, "There is none like that. Give it to me."
Hichun Ahimelech in, “Elah phaicham’a nathana pa, Philistine mipa Goliath chemjam bou chu kanei’e; hikoma thempu von kikoina nunglam’a khun pon’in akichun in aume, nadeilekilah in, adangvang aumpoi” ati. Chuin David in ajah’a, “Hichu neipen! Chusang’a phajo le hoijo chemjam adang umponte,” ati.
10 David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
Hichun David Saul koma konin ajamdoh’in, Gath khopi Achish lengpa heng ajontan ahi.
11 The servants of Achish said to him, "Isn't this David the king of the land? Did they not sing one to another about him in dances, saying, 'Saul has slain his thousands, David his ten thousands?'"
Ahinlah Achish lenggam sung’a lamkaiho chu akomuva aumding chu akipah pouvin ahi. Amahon, “Hiche mipa hi agamsung’a leng changsa David chu hilou haimo? Miho lamuva, ama chung changa hi la asah uva Saul in mi asang asangin athat’in, David in vang sangsom somin athat’e, tia alachoipao chu hilou ham?” tin adonguve.
12 David laid up these words in his heart, and was very afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
Hiche athuseiho chu David in ajah phat’in Gath lengpa Achish chu akicha lheh jeng tan ahi.
13 He changed his behavior before them, and pretended to be mad in their hands, and drummed on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle run down his beard.
Hijeh chun David jong aki ngolsah’in, kotpi phungdung ho chu ajihpolin, chule akhalhang dunga achilphon akaisah deh duhin jeng in ahi.
14 Then Achish said to his servants, "Look, you see the man is mad. Why then have you brought him to me?
Achaina in Achish lengpan amiteho komah, “Hitobang mingol chu kahenga nahung sah’u ham?
15 Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?"
Kakimvella hitobang mingol kaneilouva nabollu ham? Ipi dinga motchon chon a eisuboi ding bep’a ka-insunglai tah’a, kamasang’a hichepa hinpuilut nahiuvam?” tin ahung eojah jeng in ahi.
