1 Samuel 19
1 Saul said to Jonathan his son and to all his servants that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul's son, took great pleasure in David.
Saul mah David hum hanah, a capa Jonathan hoi a tamnanawk boih khaeah lokpaek.
2 So Jonathan told David, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Therefore be on your guard in the morning and hide yourself in a secret place.
Toe Jonathan mah David to palung parai pongah David khaeah, Kam pa Saul mah nang hum hanah pakrong; to pongah akhawnbang khoek to acoehaih hoiah khosah ah, mi mah hnuk thai ai ih ahmuen ah anghawk ving ah;
3 I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will speak with my father about you. If I learn anything, I will tell you.”
na ohhaih ahmuen lawk ah pa taengah kang doet moe, nang ih akawng to anih khaeah ka thuih han; anih poekhaih to nang khaeah kang thaisak let han hmang, tiah a naa.
4 Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Do not let the king sin against his servant David. For he has not sinned against you, and his deeds have brought you good.
Jonathan mah, Ampa Saul khaeah David kawng to kahoih ah thuih pae; anih loe na nuiah kahoih ai hmuen to sah ai, paroeai kahoih hmuen to ang sak pae pongah, siangpahrang mah a tamna David nuiah kahoih ai hmuen to sah hmah nasoe;
5 For he took his life in his hand and killed the Philistine. Yahweh brought about a great victory for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. Why would you sin against innocent blood by killing David for no reason?”
anih loe hinghaih paawt ai ah, Philsitin kami to hum; Angraeng mah Israel kaminawk boih nuiah pahlonghaih to a sak; to hmuen to na hnuk moe, nang hoe boeh. Tipongah zaehaih tidoeh tawn ai kami ih athii to palong moe, David hum han na thuih loe? tiah a naa.
6 Saul listened to Jonathan. Saul swore, “As Yahweh lives, he will not be put to death.”
Saul mah Jonathan ih lok to tahngai moe, Angraeng loe hing baktih toengah, David to ka hum mak ai, tiah lokkamhaih a sak.
7 Then Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these things. Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.
To pongah Jonathan mah David to kawk moe, a thuih hoi ih loknawk boih to thuih pae. Jonathan mah David to Saul khaeah caeh haih moe, Saul khaeah canghniah oh ih baktih toengah ohsak let.
8 There was war again, and David went out and fought with the Philistines and defeated them with a great slaughter. They fled before him.
Misa angthawkhaih oh let; to pongah David loe caeh moe, Philistin kaminawk to tuk; kaminawk paroeai a hum pongah, misanawk loe anih hmaa hoiah cawnh o.
9 A harmful spirit from Yahweh came on Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand, and as David was playing his instrument.
Saul angmah ih im ah anghnut naah, tayae to ban ah sinh, Angraeng khae hoi kasae muithla to a nuiah angzoh pongah, David mah anih hanah katoeng to kruek pae.
10 Saul tried to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away from Saul's presence, so that Saul drove the spear into the wall. David fled and escaped that night.
Saul mah David to tapang hoi nawnto takhawh hmaek hanah poek; David mah ayae taak ving pongah, Saul mah tayae hoiah tapang to takhawh vawk. To na qum ah David loe cawnh moe, loih ving.
11 Saul sent messengers to David's house to watch him that he might kill him in the morning. Michal, David's wife, told him, “If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”
Saul mah David to angang moe, anih to akhawn bangah hum hanah, David im ah kami to patoeh; toe David zu Mikal mah, na hinghaih loih thai hanah vaiduem na cawn ai nahaeloe, khawnbangah loe na dueh tih boeh, tiah a naa.
12 So Michal let David down through the window. He went and fled, and escaped.
To pongah Mikal mah David to thokbuem hoiah anghumsak tathuk, to tiah anih loe cawnh moe, loih ving.
13 Michal took a household idol and laid it in the bed. Then she put a pillow of goats' hair at its head, and covered it with the clothes.
Mikal mah kami ih krang to lak moe, iihhaih ahmuen ah suek pacoengah kahni hoiah ayaw hmoek; a lu thuem ah maeh mui to suek pae.
14 When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.”
David naeh hanah Saul mah kami patoeh naah, Mikal mah anih loe ngantui ai, tiah a naa.
15 Then Saul sent the messengers to see David; he said, “Bring him up to me in the bed, so that I may kill him.”
To pacoengah Saul mah David khet hanah kaminawk to patoeh let bae; anih ka hum thai hanah, a iihkhun hoi nawnto kai khaeah na sin oh, tiah a naa.
16 When the messengers came in, behold, the household idol was in the bed along with the pillow of goats' hair at its head.
Toe patoeh ih kaminawk imthung ah akun o naah loe, khenah, sakcop ih krang to iihkhun nuiah oh pae lat; luhngoeng suekhaih ahmuen ah doeh maeh mui ni oh sut.
17 Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?” Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, 'Let me go. Why should I kill you?'”
To naah Saul mah Mikal khaeah, Tipongah hae tiah nang ling moe, ka misa loisak hanah, na patoeh ving loe? tiah a naa.
18 Now David fled and escaped, and went to Samuel in Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth.
David loe cawnh moe, loih pacoengah, Ramah ah Samuel khaeah caeh; Saul mah a nuiah sak ih hmuennawk boih to Samuel khaeah thuih pae. To pacoengah anih hoi Samuel loe Naioth avang ah caeh hoi moe, to ah oh hoi.
19 It was told to Saul, saying, “See, David is at Naioth in Ramah.”
To lok to Saul khaeah thuih pae o; David loe Ramah vangpui peng thungah kaom Naioth avang ah oh, tiah thuih pae o.
20 Then Saul sent messengers to capture David. When they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came on the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
To pongah David naeh hanah Saul mah kaminawk to patoeh; toe Samuel loe zaehoikung ah angdoet moe, nawnto amkhueng tahmaanawk hoiah lok a thuih o, tiah nihcae mah hnuk o naah, Saul ih kaminawk nuiah Sithaw ih Muithla to angzoh, to naah nihcae mah doeh lok to taphong o toeng.
21 When Saul was told this, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. So Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
To kawng to Saul khaeah thuih pae o naah; anih mah kalah kaminawk to patoeh let; toe to kaminawk mah doeh lok taphong o toeng. Vaithumto haih ah Saul mah kaminawk to patoeh let; nihcae mah doeh lok to taphong o toeng.
22 Then he also went to Ramah and came to the deep well that is in Seku. He asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” Someone said, “See, they are at Naioth in Ramah.”
To pacoengah anih loe hnukkhuem koek ah, Ramah vangpui ah caeh moe, Seku avang taeng ih vacong ah phak; to ah Samuel hoi David loe naa ah maw oh hoi? tiah a dueng. Nihcae mah, Khenah, nihnik loe Ramah vangpui peng thung ih Naioth avang ah oh hoi, tiah thuih pae o.
23 Saul went to Naioth in Ramah. Then the Spirit of God came upon him, and as he went he prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
To pongah Saul loe Ramah prae thung ih Naioth avang ah caeh; to naah anih nuiah doeh Sithaw ih Muithla to oh moe, loklam caeh nathung, Naioth avang pha ai karoek to anih mah lok to taphong.
24 He stripped off his clothes and also prophesied before Samuel. He lay naked all that day and all that night. This is why they ask, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
A khukbuennawk to angkhring moe, Samuel hmaa ah lok to thuih; to ahmuen ah aqum athun khukbuen om ai ah a iih; to pongah kaminawk mah, Saul doeh tahmaanawk salakah athum toeng maw? tiah thuih o.
