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.
Devit thei hanelah, Sawl ni a capa Jonathan hoi a sannaw koe a dei pouh. Hatei Sawl capa Jonathan ni Devit lung a patawpoung.
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.
Jonathan ni Devit koe, Apa Sawl ni na thei hane a kâcai. Hatdawkvah amom totouh kâhruetcuet, soumtinae koe kâhrawk.
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.”
Ka cei vaiteh na onae law vah apa e ateng ka kangdue han. Nange kong apa hoi kâpan roi han. Ka thai e lawk nang koe ka dei han telah kâhruetcuetnae a poe.
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 ni a na pa Sawl koe Devit hah a oup teh, ahni koe siangpahrang ni a san Devit koelah yonnae rumram lah sak hanh naseh. Ahni ni nang koe yonnae sak hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a sak e hnonaw nang hane aphu hroung ao.
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?”
Amae hringnae pasai laipalah, Filistin tami hah a thei. BAWIPA ni kalenpounge tânae Isarelnaw koe a pha sak e na hmu teh na lung ahawi. Hatdawkvah, kayonhoehe a thipaling yon kaawm hoeh e Devit khuet na thei han vaw telah Sawl koe atipouh.
6 Saul listened to Jonathan. Saul swore, “As Yahweh lives, he will not be put to death.”
Sawl ni Jonathan dei e lawk hah a ngai. Sawl ni BAWIPA min dawk thoe a kâbo teh ahni teh thet mahoeh telah a ti.
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.
Jonathan ni Devit a kaw teh, hote lawknaw a dei pouh hnukkhu, Devit teh Sawl koe a hrawi teh, ahmoun e patetlah ahni koe bout ao.
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.
Tarankâtuknae bout ao teh, Devit ni Filistinnaw hoi kâtuk hanelah a cei teh tami moikapap a thei.
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.
Sawl ni a im dawk tahroe hoi a tahung nah BAWIPA koehoi e muitha kathout ni a tho sin. Devit ni ratoung a kueng pouh.
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.
Sawl ni tapang dawk khik kâbet lah a thut hanelah a noe. Hatei Sawl e hmalah hoi a roun thai teh, tahroe tapang dawk moncawm a um. Hottelah Devit a yawng teh hote karum dawk a hlout.
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.”
Sawl ni Devit hah im vah pawp vaiteh, thei hanelah amom vah patounenaw a patoun, Devit e a yu Mikhal ni, atu tangmin na hringnae na khenyawn hoehpawiteh, tangtho vah na thei awh han telah atipouh.
12 So Michal let David down through the window. He went and fled, and escaped.
Mikhal ni Devit hah hlalangaw dawk hoi a kumsak teh Devit a kâran teh a hlout.
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.
Mikhal ni meikaphawk hah a la teh, ikhun dawk a i sak a lû koe lah hmae muen e bawilakhung a hruek teh hni a khu.
14 When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.”
Devit man hanelah Sawl ni patounenaw a patoun nah Mikhal ni a tak a pataw atipouh.
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.”
Sawl ni Devit khet hanelah patounenaw a patoun teh ka thei thai nahan a ikhun hoi kâ ka yawn awh atipouh.
16 When the messengers came in, behold, the household idol was in the bed along with the pillow of goats' hair at its head.
Patounenaw a kâen awh navah a ikhun dawk meikaphawk a lû koelah hmae muen ka lahoung e a hmu awh.
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?'”
Sawl ni Mikhal koevah kai hah bangkongmaw hete lah na dum, a hlout nahanelah ka taran na tâco sak atipouh. Mikhal ni ahni ni kai hanelah kai na cetsak haw, nahoeh pawiteh na thei han telah ati telah Sawl koe a dei pouh.
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.
Devit teh yout a yawng teh a hlout. Ramah kho Samuel koe a pha. Ahni koe Sawl ni a sak e pueng a dei pouh. Samuel hoi a cei roi teh Naioth vah ao.
19 It was told to Saul, saying, “See, David is at Naioth in Ramah.”
Sawl koe Devit teh Ramah kho hoi Naioth hmuen koe ao telah a dei pouh.
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.
Devit man hanelah Sawl ni a patounenaw bout a patoun, lawk ka dei e profet hu touh dueng hah a hmu awh. Samuel a kangdue teh, profetnaw a hrawi nah Cathut e Muitha ni Sawl e patounenaw lathueng a pha pouh teh, ahnimouh hai profet lawk a dei awh.
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.
Ahnimouh ni hote a kong hah Sawl koe a dei pouh awh navah, Sawl ni alouke a patounenaw bout a patoun. Ahnimouh hai profet lawk a dei awh. Sawl ni apâthum lah patounenaw bout a patoun nah, ahnimouh hai profet lawk a dei awh.
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.”
Sawl ama hai Ramah kho a cei teh, Seku e tuiim kalen poung koe a pha nah, Samuel hoi Devit na maw ao telah a pacei nah Ramah kho Naioth hmuen koe ao telah tami buet touh ni a dei pouh.
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.
Sawl teh Ramah kho Naioth hmuen koe lah a cei. Cathut e Muitha ahnie lathueng vah a pha van, a cei laihoi profet lawk Ramah kho hoi Naioth hmuen koe a pha totouh a dei.
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 khohna e rading teh, Samuel e a hmalah profet lawk a dei. Karum khodai hote hnin dawk caici lah a i. Hatdawkvah, ahnimouh ni Sawl hai profetnaw koe ka bawk e namaw telah ati awh.
