1 Samuel 30
1 And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
Hnin thum touh a loum hnukkhu, Devit hoi a taminaw teh Ziklag kho a pha awh navah, Amaleknaw ni akalae ram hoi Ziklag kho hah a tuk awh. Ziklag kho a thei awh teh, hmai yo la a sawi awh toe.
2 And had taken the women captives that [were] in it, they slew not any, either great or small, but carried [them] away, and went on their way.
Kho thung kaawm e napui camo matawng buet touh hai thet laipalah san lah koung a hrawi awh toe.
3 So David and his men came to the city, and behold, [it was] burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
Devit hoi a taminaw teh hote kho dawk a pha awh navah, khenhaw! kho hmai a sawi awh teh, a yunaw, a canu capanaw hai san lah koung a ceikhai awh toe ti e a hmu navah,
4 Then David and the people that [were] with him, lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
thouk a ka awh teh tha baw ditouh thouk a ka awh.
5 And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Devit e yu roi, Jezreel tami Ahinoam hoi Karmel tami Nabal yu Abigail hai a ceikhai awh toe.
6 And David was greatly distressed: for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons, and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
Devit teh puenghoi a lungrei a thai. Taminaw hai a lungrei a thai awh teh, Devit hah talung hoi dei hanelah a dei awh. Hatei, Devit teh BAWIPA doeh a kâuep.
7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
Devit ni Ahimelek capa vaihma Abiathar koe Ephod hah pahren lahoi na lat pouh haw atipouh. Abiathar ni Ephod hah Devit koe a thokhai.
8 And David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue; for thou shalt surely overtake [them], and without fail recover [all].
Devit ni ahnimanaw hah ka pâlei awh pawiteh, ka pha awh han vaimoe telah BAWIPA koe a pacei. Ahni ni pâlei loe na pha mingming han, abuemlahoi koung na rungngang han doeh atipouh.
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men that [were] with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind remained.
Hatdawkvah, Devit hoi a taminaw 600 touh ni a cei awh teh, Besor palang a pha awh navah, a tangawn teh hawvah a la o awh.
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, who were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
Devit hoi tami 400 touh ni a pâlei awh.
11 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they made him drink water;
Hahoi a yon dawk Izip tami buet touh a hmu awh teh, Devit koe a thokhai awh. Vaiyei a poe awh teh a ca, tui hai a nei sak awh.
12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drank [any] water, three days and three nights.
Hahoi thaibunglung paw phen buet touh, misurpaw phen kahni touh a poe awh. Ahni ni a ca teh a tha bout ao. Hnin thum touh thung catnet laipalah kahai lah ao toe.
13 And David said to him, To whom [belongest] thou? and whence [art] thou? And he said, I [am] a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
Devit ni ahni koe nang teh api hoi maw na kâkuet, nâhoi maw na tho telah a pacei. Ahni ni kai teh, Amaleknaw koe san lah kaawm e Izip tami doeh, hnin thum touh hoehnahlan ka pataw dawkvah, ka bawipa ni na cei takhai.
14 We made an invasion [upon] the south of the Cherethites, and upon [the coast] which [belongeth] to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.
Khereth ram akalah Judah ram akalah, Kalep ram akalah ka tuk awh teh, Ziklag kho hah hmai ka sawi awh toe.
15 And David said to him, Canst thou conduct me down to this company? And he said, Swear to me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will lead thee down to this company.
Devit ni ahnimanaw onae koe lam na patue thai han maw atipouh navah, ahni ni kai hah na thei hoeh nahan ka bawipa koe na poe hoe nahan, Cathut koe lawkkam hoi thoekâbo ei, hat pawiteh doeh ahnimouh onae koe lam na patue han ati e patetlah Devit ni thoe a kâbo.
16 And when he had conducted him down, behold, [they were] spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken from the land of the Philistines, and from the land of Judah.
Hote camo ni lamthung a patue teh hawvah Devit a pha navah, ahnimanaw teh Filistin ram hoi Judah ram e hnopainaw dawkvah a canei awh teh a lamtu awh teh, talai dawk a kâyat awh.
17 And David smote them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, who rode upon camels, and fled.
Devit ni tangmin hoi a tangtho tangmin totouh a thei teh, kalauk hoi ka yawng e thoundoun 400 touh hloilah tami buet touh hai hlout hoeh.
18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.
Ameleknaw ni a lawp e pueng Devit ni bout a la teh, a yu roi hoi bout a hloutkhai.
19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any [thing] that they had taken to them: David recovered all.
Tami kacue kanaw canu capa hnopai lawp lah kaawm e pueng buet touh boehai pek laipalah, Devit ni koung bout a la.
20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, [which] they drove before those [other] cattle, and said, This [is] David's spoil.
Hahoi Devit ni tuhu hoi maitohu naw hah a la teh, saring alouknaw hmalah a khoum teh, hetnaw teh Devit doeh ati awh.
21 And David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that [were] with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
Hahoi tami 200 touh a tâwn awh teh, Devit hnuk a kâbang thai awh hoeh dawkvah, Besor palang vah ao saknae koe Devit teh bout a pha. Ahnimouh teh Devit hoi a thokhaienaw dawn hanelah a tâco awh. Devit ahnimouh koe a pha toteh kut a man awh.
22 Then answered all the wicked men, and [men] of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them [aught] of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead [them] away, and depart.
Hatnavah, Devit hoi rei ka cet e taminaw thung dawk e tamikathoutnaw ni, ahnimouh teh maimouh hoi rei a cei awh van hoeh dawkvah, maimouh ni pang awh e hnopai thung dawk, amamae yuca hloilah bang hno hai poe mahoeh. Amamae yucanaw hah lat awh nateh, cet awh naseh atipouh awh.
23 Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.
Devit ni hmaunawnghanaw, maimouh ni tuk awh e naw hah maimae kut dawk na ka poe e BAWIPA ni na poe e hnopainaw hah hottelah tet awh hanh.
24 For who will hearken to you in this matter? but as his part [is] that goeth down to the battle, so [shall] his part [be] that tarrieth by the goods: they shall part alike.
Hete hno dawk nangmae lawk hah apinimaw a tarawi han. Taran tuknae koe ka cet e ni a pang e patetlah hnopai karingkungnaw ni hai pang vah naseh. Suekâvan lah reirei pang van naseh telah a ti.
25 And it was [so] from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
Hat hnin hoiyah Isarel miphunnaw hanelah, hottelah e phunglam hoi kâlawk teh a sak awh.
26 And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah, [even] to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you, of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;
Devit ni Ziklag kho bout a pha toteh, hetheh BAWIPA e taran kut dawk hoi e hnonaw doeh. Poehno lah na patawn awh telah lawk a thui teh,
27 To [them] who [were] in Beth-el, and to [them] who [were] in south Ramoth, and to [them] who [were] in Jattir,
Bethel kaawmnaw, Ramoth akalah kaawmnaw, Jattir kaawmnaw,
28 And to [them] who [were] in Aroer, and to [them] who [were] in Siphmoth, and to [them] who [were] in Eshtemoa,
Aroer kaawmnaw, Siphmoth kaawmnaw, Eshtemoa kaawmnaw,
29 And to [them] who [were] in Rachal, and to [them] who [were] in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to [them] who [were] in the cities of the Kenites,
Rekal kaawmnaw, Jerahmeel kaawmnaw, Ken kaawmnaw,
30 And to [them] who [were] in Hormah, and to [them] who [were] in Chor-ashan, and to [them] who [were] in Athach,
Hormah kaawmnaw, Khorshan kaawmnaw, Atha kaawmnaw,
31 And to [them] who [were] in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were accustomed to resort.
Hebron kaawmnaw, Devit hoi a taminaw khosaknae koe kaawmnaw abuemlah Judah a hui kacuenaw koe a patawn.
