1 Samuel 24
1 And it came to pass, when Saul had returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying: Lo! David is in the wilderness of En-gedi.
Filistinnaw pâleinae koehoi ka ban e ni Sawl koe Devit teh Engedi kahrawngum vah ao telah a dei pouh.
2 Then Saul took three thousand chosen men, out of all Israel, —and went to seek David and his men, over the face of the rocks of the mountain-goats.
Hateh, Sawl ni Isarelnaw thung dawk hoi tami 3000 touh a kaw teh, a thaonae lungsong tie ram dawk Devit hoi a taminaw tawng hanelah a cei awh.
3 And he came into the sheep-folds by the way, there, being a cave, which Saul entered, to cover his feet, —David and his men, in the hinder part of the cave, having taken up their abode.
Lam teng vah tutakha onae lungngoum koe a pha awh. Sawl teh vaipuen cei hanelah lungngoum thung a kâen. Devit hoi a taminaw teh hote lungngoum thung vah ao awh.
4 So David’s men said unto him—Lo! the day of which Yahweh said unto thee—Lo! I am about to deliver up thine enemy, into thy hand: therefore shall thou do unto him, as shall be good in thine eyes. And David arose, and cut off the corner of the robe which belonged to Saul, by stealth.
Devit e taminaw ni, BAWIPA ni na taran hah na kut dawk na poe han. Ahni dawk na sak ngai e patetlah saknae kâ ao han ati e teh, sahnin doeh toe atipouh awh. Hateh Devit ni a thaw teh, Sawl e angki pawi hah arulahoi duem a a pouh.
5 And it came to pass afterwards that David’s heart smote him, —because he had cut off the corner [of the robe] which belonged to Saul.
Hottelah Devit ni Sawl e angki pawi a a e dawk a lungrei a thai sak.
6 And he said unto his men—Far be it from me, of Yahweh, that I should do this thing unto my lord, unto the Anointed of Yahweh, to thrust forth my hand against him, —for, the Anointed of Yahweh, is he!
Hahoi a taminaw koevah BAWIPA ni satui awi e doeh tie panue nahlangva hoi runae poe hanelah ka kut ka dâw teh BAWIPA ni satui awi e ka bawipa lathueng hete hno ka sak e coung thai hoeh telah ati.
7 So David did chide his men with the words, and did not suffer them to rise up against Saul. And, Saul, rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.
Hottelah hoi Devit ni a taminaw hah hote lawk lahoi a haw thai teh, Sawl thei hanelah ka cet hane naw hah pasoung hoeh. Hahoi teh Sawl haiyah lungngoum thung hoi a tâco teh a cei.
8 Then David rose up, afterwards, and went forth out of the cave, and cried out after Saul, saying—My lord, O king! And, when Saul looked about behind him, David inclined his face to the earth, and bowed himself down.
Hathnukkhu Devit a thaw teh, lungngoum thung hoi a tâco teh Sawl e hnuk lahoi, ka bawipa siangpahrang, telah a hram. Hahoi Sawl ni hnuk lah a kamlang teh a khet navah, Devit ni a tabut teh a minhmai talai rekkâbet lah a tabo.
9 Then said David to Saul, Wherefore shouldst thou hearken unto the words of the sons of earth, saying, —Lo! David is seeking thy hurt?
Devit ni nang runae poe hanlah a kâcai telah taminaw ni a dei e hah bangkongmaw khuet na tang vaw.
10 Lo! this day, have thine own eyes seen, how Yahweh had delivered thee up, to-day, into my hand in the cave, and, when one bade me slay thee, I looked with compassion upon thee, —and I said—I will not thrust forth my hand against my lord, for, the Anointed of Yahweh, is he!
Sahnin BAWIPA ni nang hah ka kut dawk na poe e hah khenhaw! Nang thei hanelah ayânaw ni na hroecoe eiteh, kai ni na pasai teh ka bawipa teh BAWIPA ni satui awi e lah na o dawkvah, runae poe hanelah ka kut ka dâw mahoeh telah ka pouk.
11 But, my father, see, yea, see, the corner of thy robe in my hand, —for, in that I cut off the corner of thy robe, and yet did not slay thee, know thou, and see, that there is not in my hand either wrong or transgression, neither have I sinned against thee, yet art thou hunting my life, to take it.
Hothloilah apa khenhaw! na hni pawi hai ka kut dawk ao hei. Na hni pawi ka a thai e hoi na thei hoeh e ni, ka kut dawk hawihoehnae hoi tarantuknae awm hoeh tie hoi ka hringnae thei hanelah pou na tawng ei nakunghai, nang taranlahoi yonnae ka sak hoeh tie hah khoeroe pahnim hanh.
12 Let Yahweh do justice betwixt me and thee, and let Yahweh avenge me of thee, —but, mine own hand, shall not be upon thee.
BAWIPA ni kai hoi nang rahak lawkceng na seh. Hatei kai ni teh nang dawk ka kut ka tha mahoeh. Nang koe ka yonnae hah BAWIPA ni na pathung na seh.
13 As saith the proverb of the ancients, From the lawless, proceedeth lawlessness, —mine own hand, therefore shall not be upon thee.
Ayan cingthuinae dawkvah, tamikathout koehoi thoenae a tâco. Hatei, ka kut teh nang dawk phat hanh naseh.
14 After whom, hath the king of Israel come forth? After whom, art thou in pursuit? After a dead dog! after a single flea!
Isarel siangpahrang teh api tawng hanelah maw a tho. Ui ro maw a tawng, uihli maw a tawng.
15 Therefore shall, Yahweh, become, judge, and do justice betwixt me and thee, —that he may see, and plead my cause, and justly deliver me out of thy hand.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA teh lawkcengkung lah awm lawiseh. Kai hoi nang rahak vah lawkceng lawiseh. Na pouk pouh vaiteh, na dei pouh lawiseh. Na kut dawk hoi a ma ni na rasat lawiseh telah Sawl koe a dei pouh.
16 And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, Thy voice, is this, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
Hottelah Devit ni Sawl koe be a dei hnukkhu, Sawl ni ka capa Devit, ka thai e lawk hah nange lawk namaw ati teh a khuika.
17 And he said unto David, More righteous, art thou than I, for, thou, hast requited me, good, but, I, have requited thee, evil.
Kai hlak nang te hoe na lan doeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang ni teh hawinae hoi na pathung teh, kai ni teh hawihoehnae hoi na pathung.
18 Thou, then, hast told to-day, how thou hast dealt with me, for good, —how, when Yahweh had surrendered me into thy hand, thou didst not slay me.
Kai koe hawinae bangtelamaw na sak tie sahnin na kamnue sak toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni kai hah na kut dawk na poe ei, nang ni na thet laipalah na o toe.
19 Yet, when a man findeth his enemy, will he let him get easily away? Yahweh, then, give thee, good, reward for what, this day, thou hast done unto me.
Tami ni a taran hah hmawt pawiteh, duem a hlout sak han namaw. Hatei, nang ni sahnin kai koe na sak e hawinae hah BAWIPA ni na patho lawiseh.
20 Now, therefore, lo! I know that thou, shalt indeed become king, —and that the kingdom of Israel, shall be established in thy hand.
Atuvah, nang teh atangcalah siangpahrang lah na o han. Isarel uknaeram hai na kut dawk a kangning han tie hah kacailah ka panue awh katang toe.
21 Now, therefore, swear unto me by Yahweh, that thou wilt not eat off my seed, after me, —and wilt not destroy my name out of the house my father.
Hatdawkvah, ka catounnaw hah na raphoe hoeh nahane hoi, ka imthungnaw thung hoi ka min na kahma sak hoeh nahanelah, BAWIPA min lahoi kai koe lawk kam haw atipouh.
22 So David sware unto Saul, —and Saul departed unto his own house, but, David and his men, went up on the stronghold.
Hottelah Devit ni Sawl koe lawk a kam teh, Devit hoi a taminaw teh rapanim koe a cei awh.
