1 Samuel 19
1 Then Saul urged all his servants and his son Jonathan to kill David. But Jonathan liked David very much.
Saul in achapa Jonathan le asohteho jouse toh David thana ding lunggel anei khompi tan ahi. Ahinlah Joanthan le David golphatah ahi lhon jeh chun,
2 So he warned David, “My father Saul is seeking for a way to kill you. So be careful. Tomorrow morning go and find a place to hide [in the field].
Jonathn in David jah’a, “Kapan, jing jingkah le tha ding nagoi, chinghtheiyin, loulai sunga kisel nading mun khat kihol’in,” tin apa thilgon ho jouse chu aseipeh tan ahi.
3 I will ask my father to go out there with me. [While we are out there], I will talk to him about you. Then I will tell you everything that he tells me.” [So David did what Jonathan told him to do].
“Chutengle, keiman kappa chu munchom khatna puidong ing kating, nachungchang thu kihoulimpi ing katin, kamudoh chengse chu nang kaseipeh ding nahi,” tin aseipeh kit tan ahi.
4 [The next morning], Jonathan spoke with his father, saying many good things about David. He said, “You should never do anything to harm your servant David! He has never done anything to harm you! Everything that he has done has helped you very much.
Ajing jingkah in, Jonathan in David chungchang thu apa komah aphatna le athilpha boljeng aseipeh in ahi. Chule Jonathan in apa koma chun, “Lengpa chu asoh David douna-a chonse lou ding ahi chule David in nangma dounan thil imacha abolpoi, aman ajochanin aphat jousen nakithopin ahi,” ati.
5 He was in danger of being killed when he fought against [Goliath, the champion of] the Philistia [army. By enabling David to kill him], Yahweh won a great victory for all the people of Israel. You were very happy when you saw that. Why would you want to do anything now to harm David [RHQ]? There is no reason for you to kill him, because he has not done anything wrong!”
“Pathen thahatna jal'a Philistine mihatpa anatha-a Israelte dinga gal lentah eina jopeh-u phatlai chu nasuhmil hitam? Hichea thilsoh chungchanga chu nangma nana kipa dehset hilou ham? Achutia ahileh imacha bolselou, mona neilou David chu ipi bolla thading nagot ham? Ajeh imacha aumpoi!” ati.
6 Saul listened to what Jonathan said. Then Saul said, “I solemnly promise that just as certain as Yahweh lives, I will not kill David.”
Hijeh chun Saul in Jonathan thusei chu phatah’in angaijin chuin akihahsel’in, “Hingjing Pakai min pan’a kasei ahi, David chu kithat louding ahi,” ati
7 Afterward, Jonathan summoned David and told him what he and Saul had said. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and David served Saul as he had done before.
Hiche jouchun Jonathan in David akouvin, thil ijakai asepeh tan ahi. Chule aman David chu Saul komah apuijin, amasa bangin David in leng inpi’ah na atong kit in ahi.
8 One day a war started again, and David [led his soldiers to] fight against the Philistia army. David’s [army] attacked them very furiously, with the result that the Philistia army ran away.
Chuin Philistine tetoh gal kisatna aumkit in, David in asepaite akipuijin Philistine tetoh akisat in, amaho nasatah in athat-in ahile, amaho ajam tauve.
9 But one day when sitting in his house, an evil spirit [sent] from Yahweh [suddenly] came upon Saul. While David was playing his harp [for Saul],
Ahinlah nikhat hi Saul in’ah atouvin tengcha akhut ah akichoijin ahile, Pathen a kona hungkon lhagao dihlou chun hetman louvin achungah ahung chu kit’in ahile, David in angai bangin semjang asailaitah in,
10 Saul hurled his spear at David to try to fasten him to the wall. David (dodged/jumped to one side), and the spear did not hit him. The spear stuck in the wall, but that night David escaped.
Saul in David chu atengcha choiya chun akhoa, bangtoh khobeh ding agotna ahile, David ana ki-otdoh in, atengcha chun bang ah akibut lut jeng in, hiche jan chun David akiseldoh tan ahi.
11 Then Saul sent messengers to David’s house. He told them to watch the house and to kill David [while he was leaving the house] the following morning. But David’s wife Michal [saw them and] warned him, “To survive, you must run away tonight, because if you do not do that, you will be killed tomorrow!”
Chuin Saul in David ain-langa avelhi ding in asepaite asollin ahi. Asepaite jah’ah, ajing jingkah teng aina kona ahung potdoh tengle natha dingu ahi, tin thu apen ahi. Ahinlah ainneipi Michal in David jah’a, “Tujana nakiseldoh louva ahileh, jing jingkah leh nathi ding ahitai,” ati.
12 So she enabled David to climb out through a window, and he ran away and escaped.
Chuin ainneipi Michal in kotcha neo langa kon in akhai lhan, ajamdoh in, ahoi dohtai.
13 Then Michal took an idol and put it in the bed. She covered it with some [of David’s] clothes, and put some goat’s hair on the head of the idol.
Hichun amanun milim khat alan, alupna ah ponsa khat asil peh’in, asam ding in kelcha mul asem peh in ahi.
14 When the messengers came [to the house the next morning], she told them that David was sick [and could not get out of bed].
Chuin sottol le ho ahung uva David matding agot uleh, ainneipin adam hih in athou joupoi tin alep in ahi.
15 [When they reported that to] Saul, he told them to go back to David’s house. He said to them, “Bring him to me lying on his bed, in order that I can kill him!”
Ahinlah Saul in asottol leho jah’a thu apen, “Alupna a konin hinkaidoh un, kathading ahi,” atin ahi.
16 But when those men entered David’s house, they saw that there was only an idol in the bed, with goat’s hair on its head.
Ahin alupna-a kona kaidoh ding agot uva aponsil chu agah hodoh uva ahileh, milim kisemthu, alua kelchamul chu amudoh tauve.
17 [When they reported that to Saul, ] Saul [summoned] Michal [and] said to her, “Why did you trick me like that? You allowed my enemy to escape!” Michal replied to Saul, “David told me that if I did not help him escape, he would kill me!” [RHQ]
Hijeh chun Saul in Michal jah’a, “Ipibolla hitia hi nei joulhep’a, kagalmi keija kona najamdoh sah ham?” atin ahile, Michal in jong, “Aman neikithopi louva ahileh katha ding nahi eitijeh’a kabol ahi,” tin ana donbut in ahi.
18 After David had escaped from Saul, he went to Samuel, who was [at his home] at Ramah. He told Samuel everything that Saul had done to [try to kill] him. Then David and Samuel went to Naioth, [which was a section] of [Ramah city], and they stayed there.
David ajamdoh in Ramah khopi’ah achen Samuel to akimuto lhonin, chule Saul in achunga itobang tah’a na atoh ham ti aseipeh tan ahi. Samuel in David akilhonpin Ramah gamsunga Naioth mun’ah acheng tan ahi.
19 Someone told Saul that David was in Naioth.
David Ramah gamsunga Naioth muna aume ti thulhut Saul’in ana jatan ahi.
20 So Saul sent some messengers to capture David. [When] those messengers [arrived in Ramah, they] met some men who were proclaiming ecstatic messages, and Samuel was there, as their leader. When Saul’s messengers met them, the Spirit of God took control of Saul’s men, and they also spoke ecstatically.
Hichun aman David manding in sottol-le ho asoltan ahi. Ahinlah amaho agalhun phat’un, Samuel lamkaina a themgao phabep in gaothu asei pet’u atohkha uvin, Saul sottol leho chu Pathen lhagao chung uvah ahung chun, amahon jong gaothu aseipan tauvin ahi.
21 When Saul heard about that, he sent messengers a third time, but they also started to speak ecstatically.
Chuin Saul in hichu ajahdoh kit phat’in, sottol dangho asolkit in ahileh, amahon jong gaothu aseiden kit tauvin ahi. Athumvei chan nan jong angai ngai ahiuve.
22 Finally, Saul himself went to Ramah. When he arrived at the well at [a place named] Secu, he asked people there, “Where are Samuel and David?” The people replied, “They are at Naioth in Ramah [city].”
Chuphat’in, Saul amatah Ramah kho jonin achetai, Secu’a um twikul lentah phung ahin phah in, “Samuel le David hoiya um lhon em?” tin adongin ahile, “Ramah gam'a Naioth mun ah aum lhone,” tin mi koiham khat in ahin donbut in ahi.
23 While Saul was walking toward Naioth, the Spirit of God also took control of him. [While he walked on], he continued speaking ecstatic messages until he came to Naioth.
Ahin Ramah gam'a Naioth ajot chun, lampi’ah Pathen lhagao Saul chungah ahung chun, Naioth alhun kahsen gaothu aseiyin ahi.
24 There he took off his clothes, and he spoke messages from God in front of Samuel. He lay on the ground doing that all day and all night. That is the reason that [when people see someone doing something that is very unexpected, they think about what happened to Saul, and] they say, “We are surprised, like the people were surprised to see Saul [acting like] a prophet?” [RHQ]
Saul in apon abotkeh in, akeochang in tollhang ah alumin, Samuel angsung’ah sun nilhum jan khovah in gaothu asei in ahi. Chuin mihon aveuvin, adatmouvin, “Iti dana, Saul jeng jong themgao lah’a jao hitam?” atiuvin ahi.
