< 1 Samuel 22 >

1 So David left there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and all his father's house heard it, they went down there to him.
Devit ni hote hmuen koehoi tâco takhai teh Adullam talung koevah a yawng. A hmaunawngha hoi a na pa imthungnaw ni a thai awh nah ahni koe a cei awh.
2 Everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented—they all gathered to him. David became captain over them. There were about four hundred men with him.
Ka rucat e tami, lai ka tawn e, lungthin reithai poung hoi kakhangnaw ahni koe a kamkhueng awh teh, Devit teh ahnimouh kahrawikung lah ao. Tami 400 tabang hoi rei ao awh.
3 Then David went from there to Mizpah in Moab. He said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother go out with you until I know what God will do for me.”
Devit teh hote hmuen koehoi, Moab ram Mizpeh kho lah a cei teh, Moab siangpahrang koe Cathut ni kaimouh hanlah bangmaw a sak han tie kai ni ka panue nahan atueng totouh, ka manu ka napanaw nang koevah o nahan kâ na poe lah atipouh.
4 He left them with the king of Moab. His father and mother stayed with him the whole time that David was in his stronghold.
Ahnimouh ni Moab e hmalah vah a thokhai awh, Devit rapanim thung ao nathung ahni koe ao van.
5 Then the prophet Gad said to David, “Do not stay in your stronghold. Leave and go into the land of Judah.” So David left there and went into the forest of Hereth.
Profet Gad ni Devit koe rapainim thung awm hanh. Tâcawt nateh Judah ram lah cet atipouh. Hottelah, Devit ni a thaw teh, Hereth ratu thung a kâen.
6 Saul heard that David had been discovered, along with the men who were with him. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah under the tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing around him.
Sawl ni Devit hoi a sannaw hah a hmu awh tie a thai. Sawl teh Gibeah e ram vah kho vah bengkeng thing rahim a tahroe hoi a tahung teh, a tengpam vah a sannaw a kangdue sak.
7 Saul said to his servants who stood around him, “Listen now, people of Benjamin! Will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards? Will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds,
Sawl ni a tengpam e a sannaw koevah nangmanaw Benjamin taminaw thai awh haw. Jesi capa ni law hoi misur takhanaw na poe han namaw, nangmouh pueng ransa 1,000 touh ukkung hoi 100 touh ukkung lah na ta awh han namaw.
8 in exchange for all of you plotting against me? None of you informs me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse. None of you is sorry for me. None of you informs me that my son has incited my servant David against me. Today he hides and waits for me so he may attack me.”
Nangmouh abuemlahoi kai koe lah taran na thaw awh maw. Ka capa teh Jesi e capa hoi lawk a kam roi nah, kai koe buet touh ni hai na dei pouh hoeh. Sahnin e patetlah ka thaw katawknaw ni na pawp hanlah ka capa ni kai na taran e kai koe api buet touh ni hai na dei awh hoeh. Kai hanelah api buet touh hai na lungmathout awh hoeh atipouh.
9 Then Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered, “I saw the son of Jesse come to Nob, to Ahimelech son of Ahitub.
Sawl e a thaw katawknaw hoi rei ka kang dout e Edom miphun dueng ni a dei e teh, Jesi capa teh Nob kho Ahitub e capa vaihma Ahimelek koe a tho e kai ni ka hmu.
10 He prayed to Yahweh that he might help him, and he gave him provisions and the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”
Ahni ni BAWIPA koe pouknae a hei pouh, ca hanelah a poe teh Filistin tami Goliath e tahloi hai a poe telah ati.
11 Then the king sent someone to summon the priest Ahimelech son of Ahitub and all his father's house, the priests who were in Nob. All of them came to the king.
Siangpahrang ni Ahitub capa vaihma Ahimelek hoi a na pa im thung Nob kho e vaihma pueng a kaw sak teh, siangpahrang koe koung a tho awh.
12 Saul said, “Listen now, son of Ahitub.” He answered, “Here I am, my master.”
Sawl ni, nang Ahitub capa thai haw telah ati, ahni ni apa hivah ka o atipouh.
13 Saul said to him, “Why have you plotted against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread, and a sword, and have prayed to God that he might help him, so that he might rise up against me, to hide in secret, as he does today?”
Sawl ni ahni koe sahnin vah ahmoun e boiboe lah kai na taran teh, na ka pawm hanelah vaiyei hoi tahloi hah na poe teh, BAWIPA koe pouknae hei pouh hane bang dawk hah namaw nang hoi Jesi capa ni na taran roi vaw telah ati.
14 Then Ahimelech answered the king and said, “Who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law and is over your bodyguard, and is honored in your house?
Ahimelek ni siangpahrang lawk a pathung teh, siangpahrang cava, pouknae na hei ka tang e, na imthung dawk bari han kamcu Devit patetlah yuemkamcu e na sannaw dawk apimaw kaawm.
15 Is today the first time I have prayed to God to help him? Far be it from me! Do not let the king impute anything to his servant or to all the house of my father. For your servant knows nothing of this whole matter.”
Sahnin Cathut ka bawknae kamtawngnae maw, nahoeh. Siangpahrang ni teh a san thoseh apa imthungnaw thoseh, na pakung rumram hanh naseh, bangkongtetpawiteh, na sannaw ni hete kong heh banghai ka panuek hoeh telah ati.
16 The king replied, “You will surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father's house.”
Siangpahrang ni Ahimelek nama hoi na pa imthungnaw hoi na due awh roeroe han telah atipouh.
17 The king said to the guard that stood around him, “Turn and kill the priests of Yahweh. Because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, but did not reveal it to me.” But the servants of the king would not put out their hand to kill the priests of Yahweh.
Siangpahrang ni a teng kangdout e a ransa koevah, kamlang sin awh nateh, BAWIPA e vaihma hah thet awh, bangkongtetpawiteh, Devit koe lah kampang teh a kâran tie a panue awh ei kai koe dei awh hoeh telah ati, hatei a sannaw ni BAWIPA e vaihma hem hanelah a kut pho ngai hoeh.
18 Then the king said to Doeg, “Turn and kill the priests.” So Doeg the Edomite turned and attacked the priests; he killed eighty-five persons who wore a linen ephod that day.
Siangpahrang ni Doeg koevah, nangmouh ni kamlang sin nateh, vaihma hah thet telah ati. Edom teh Doeg ni a kamlang sin teh a hem. Hot hnin navah vaihma angkidung ka kho e tami 85 a thei awh.
19 He also put to the sword Nob, the city of the priests; both men and women, children and infants, and oxen and donkeys and sheep he put to the sword.
Nob vaihma kho teh tahloi hoi a tuk awh teh napui tongpa camo sanu ka net lahun totouh maito thoseh, la thoseh, tu thoseh tahloi hoi be a thei.
20 But one of the sons of Ahimelech son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped and fled after David.
Ahitub capa Ahimelek capanaw thung e tami buet touh a min Abiathar teh a hlout. Devit koevah a yawng.
21 Abiathar told David that Saul had killed Yahweh's priests.
Abiathar ni Sawl ni BAWIPA vaihmanaw a thei e konglam Devit koe a dei pouh.
22 David said to Abiathar, “I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I am responsible for every death in your father's family!
Devit ni Abiathar koevah Edom tami Doeg haw vah kaawm e roeroe ni Sawl koe a dei pouh han tie ka panue tangcoung e doeh toe. Na pa imthungnaw teh kai kecu dawk kadout a e doeh.
23 Stay with me and do not be afraid. For the one who seeks your life seeks mine as well. You will be safe with me.”
Kai koe awm nateh, taket hanh, bangkongtetpawiteh kai thei han ka kâcai e ni nang hai thei han a kâcai van han. Hatei kai koe na lungmawng han telah ati.
