< 1 Samuel 29 >
1 Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek; and the Israelites encamped by the spring which is in Jezreel.
Muntina Philistine sepaiho Aphek a akikhom khom’un, chule Israel te sepai chu Jezreel twinah phung mun’ah akikhom uve.
2 The lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds and by thousands; and David and his men passed on in the rear with Achish.
Philistine lamkaihon, asepai teho loi jakhat loi, loi sangkhat khat in akhen un alamkaiyun, David chule a sepai teho Achish lengpa kom langa akijot un ahi.
3 Then the princes of the Philistines said, “What about these Hebrews?” Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, “Isn’t this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or rather these years? I have found no fault in him since he fell away until today.”
Ahinlah Philistine gal lamkaihon, “Hebrew mite hohin hiche’a hi ipibolla hiuvem?” atiuve. Chuin Achish in, “Hichepa hi David, Israel mite lengpa Saul sohpa chu ahi. Amahi akum kum’a keitoh umkhom kahi lhonin, ahunglhun nia kipat, tuni chengeiyin athepmona imacha kamupoi,” ati.
4 But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; and the princes of the Philistines said to him, “Make the man return, that he may go back to his place where you have appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become an adversary to us. For with what should this fellow reconcile himself to his lord? Should it not be with the heads of these men?
Ahinla Philistine lamkaiho chu alunghang un, “Nakhopi pehna a chun nungsol tan! Ama keihotoh galsat in konkhom thei pouvinte, ama galsatna mun’ah kilehei henlang Philistine mite eihin le sat kit u henlang, eiho luchang hijatpi hi kipoh henlang apupa toh kicham kit taleh, hiche tilouva aman thilpha abolthei ding adang ipi uma nangaitom?” atiuvin ahi.
5 Isn’t this David, of whom people sang to one another in dances, saying, ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands’?”
“Hiche David kitipa hi hilou ham? Mihon la abol uva, ‘Saul in mi asang asang athat in, David in mi sangsom som in athat’e, tia kisei chu?
6 Then Achish called David and said to him, “As the LORD lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army is good in my sight; for I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming to me to this day. Nevertheless, the lords don’t favour you.
Hichun Achish lengpan achaina in akouvin David jah’ah, “Pakai hingjing mina kasei ahi, nangma keidin nakitah lheh jengin ahi. Keima gellin nangtoh galla ikon khom dingham kanati ahin, ajeh chu nahunglhun tilla kipat in tuni chan geijin nasuhkhel na imacha kamupon ahi. Ahivanginla Philistine lamkai len dangho nangma toh gal isat khom diu hi, anom pouvin ahi.
7 Therefore now return, and go in peace, that you not displease the lords of the Philistines.”
Lungset tah in achunguva lungnom mo louvin, lungmong in inlama kile kit tan,” ati.
8 David said to Achish, “But what have I done? What have you found in your servant so long as I have been before you to this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”
Hichun David in, “Ipi kanabol khella hitobang thil soh ham? Nasohpa keima chunga hi ipi lung lhai louna namu doh’a ka pakai le ka lengpa toh, galmi ho kasat khom thei lou hitam?” ati.
9 Achish answered David, “I know that you are good in my sight, as an angel of God. Notwithstanding, the princes of the Philistines have said, ‘He shall not go up with us to the battle.’
Ahinlah Achish in, “Keima tah mudol in, nangma hi Pakai vantil bangin nadih lheh jenge, ahinlah Philistine gal lamkai hon gal nasat khompi ding akichauvin ahi.
10 Therefore now rise up early in the morning with the servants of your lord who have come with you; and as soon as you are up early in the morning and have light, depart.”
Hijeh chun, jingkah matah tengle kithou vinlang namiteho jouse toh neidalha tauvin,” ati.
11 So David rose up early, he and his men, to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines; and the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
Hiti chun David le aloiteho akigong’un, Philistine gamsung adalha tauvin ahi. Hiche phat chun Philistine sepai hon Jezreel ajon tauvin ahi.
