1 Samuel 14
1 Now it happened on a day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come! Let’s go over to the Philistines’ garrison that is on the other side.” But he didn’t tell his father.
Hnin touh hnin vah, Sawl e capa Jonathan ni sene ka sin e thoundoun buet touh koevah tho, namran lah kaawm e Filistinnaw e taran ka ring e ransanaw aonae koe cet atipouh. A na pa koe dei pouh hoeh.
2 Saul stayed in the uttermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron; and the people who were with him were about six hundred men,
Sawl teh Gibeah ram apoutnae koelae Migron ram e talekung a rahim vah ao teh, ahni koe tami 600 tabang ao.
3 including Ahijah the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli the priest of the LORD in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. The people didn’t know that Jonathan was gone.
Shiloh kho e BAWIPA e vaihma bawi Eli capa Phinehas capa Ikhabod e a hmau Ahitub capa Ahijah ni vaihma angki a kho. Hatei Jonathan a cei tie taminaw ni panuek hoeh.
4 Between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines’ garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side and a rocky crag on the other side; and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
Filistinnaw e roenae hmuen koe Jonathan ni rakan han noenae mon lam vah, avoivang lah lungngoum ao teh buet touh e min teh Bozez, alouke buet touh e min Seneh doeh.
5 The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.
Lungngoum buet touh teh atunglah Mikmash kho koe lah thoseh, alouke buet touh e teh akalah Geba kho lah thoseh a kangvawi.
6 Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come! Let’s go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that the LORD will work for us, for there is no restraint on the LORD to save by many or by few.”
Jonathan ni sene ka sin pouh e thoundoun koe tho, vuensom ka a hoeh e roenae hmuen koe cet awh sei. Ayoun nakunghai, apap nakunghai nang ni hai BAWIPA rungngang hoeh nahan a cakâ thai hoeh han dawk, BAWIPA ni maimouh han na sak pouh tâ panue telah a dei.
7 His armor bearer said to him, “Do all that is in your heart. Go, and behold, I am with you according to your heart.”
Sene ka sin e ni ahni koe na lung dawk kaawm e pueng sak. Na pouknae patetlah cet, nang koe ka o doeh telah atipouh.
8 Then Jonathan said, “Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will reveal ourselves to them.
Jonathan ni ahawi ahnimouh koe cei awh vaiteh kâpâtue awh sei.
9 If they say this to us, ‘Wait until we come to you!’ then we will stand still in our place and will not go up to them.
Ahnimouh ni awm awh, kaimouh ka tho awh han tetpawiteh, ahnimouh koe cet laipalah o awh han.
10 But if they say this, ‘Come up to us!’ then we will go up, for the LORD has delivered them into our hand. This shall be the sign to us.”
Hatei ahnimouh ni, kaimouh koe takhang awh, telah dei awh pawiteh, takhang awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni kut dawk na poe awh toe. Maimouh hanelah noutnae lah ao han telah ati.
11 Both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, “Behold, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they had hidden themselves!”
Hottelah, kahni touh hoi Filistin ramveng ransa aonae koe vah, a kamnue roi. Filistinnaw ni, khenhaw! Hebrunaw a kâhronae khu dawk hoi a tâco telah ati awh.
12 The men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, “Come up to us, and we will show you something!” Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “Come up after me, for the LORD has delivered them into the hand of Israel.”
Ramveng ransa onae koe kaawm e naw ni Jonathan hoi sene ka sin e koevah, kaimouh koe takhang awh haw, hno buet touh na hmu sak awh han telah a kaw awh. Jonathan ni sene ka sin e koevah, kâbang haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni ahnimouh teh Isarel kut dawk a poe toe telah ati.
13 Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his armor bearer after him, and they fell before Jonathan; and his armor bearer killed them after him.
Jonathan teh kâ laihoi a cei. Sene ka sin pouh e ni a kâbang sin. Ahnimouh teh Jonathan e hmalah a rawp awh teh sene ka sin e ni a thei awh.
14 That first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow’s length in an acre of land.
Jonathan hoi sene ka sin e ni law ekah tangawn hmuen ka len e thungup tami 20 tabang a thei awh. Het heh apasuek kâtuknae doeh.
15 There was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison and the raiders also trembled; and the earth quaked, so there was an exceedingly great trembling.
Tungpupnae hmuen, law, hoi tami pueng koe pâyawnae teh a pha. Ramveng ransa hoi tarankatuknaw hai a pâyaw awh. Tâlî puenghoi a no dawkvah puenghoi a pâyaw awh.
16 The watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and behold, the multitude melted away and scattered.
Benjamin ram Gibeah e Sawl taran karingkungnaw ni a radoung awh teh, khenhaw! tamihupui teh avoivang lah koung a yawng awh toe, tie a hmu awh.
17 Then Saul said to the people who were with him, “Count now, and see who is missing from us.” When they had counted, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.
Hatnavah Sawl ni ama koe kaawm e tamihu koevah, kâparei awh haw. Apimaw kaawm hoeh, khen awh telah ati. A kâparei awh navah pouk laipalah Jonathan hoi sene ka sin e hah awm hoeh.
18 Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring God’s ark here.” For God’s ark was with the children of Israel at that time.
Sawl ni Ahijah koevah, Cathut e thingkong hah hi thokhai awh telah ati. Bangkongtetpawiteh hatnae tueng dawk Cathut e thingkong teh Isarelnaw koe ao.
19 While Saul talked to the priest, the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased; and Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand!”
Sawl ni vaihma bawi a pato lahun nah Filistinnaw roenae hmuen koe e rucatnae hoe apap. Hahoi Sawl ni vaihma bawi koevah na kut hno leih telah atipouh.
20 Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle; and behold, they were all striking each other with their swords in very great confusion.
Sawl hoi ama koe kaawm e pueng teh a kamkhueng awh teh tarantuknae koe a cei awh. Khenhaw! amamouh hoi amamanaw tahloi a kâbouk awh teh runae kalen poung ao.
21 Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines before and who went up with them into the camp from all around, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
Hothloilah haw tapat e ram dawk ka cet e, hat hoehnahlan Filistin koe lah kaawm e Hebru taminaw hai Sawl hoi Jonathan koevah kaawm e Isarelnaw koe lah a kamlang awh.
22 Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.
Hot patetvanlah, Ephraim mon dawkvah kâhrawk e Isarelnaw ni Filistinnaw a yawng awh tie a thai awh toteh tarantuknae koe a bawk awh teh pou a pâlei awh.
23 So the LORD saved Israel that day; and the battle passed over by Beth Aven.
Hote hnin navah BAWIPA ni hottelah Isarelnaw hah a rungngang teh Bethaven kho totouh a tuk awh.
24 The men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul had adjured the people, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged of my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food.
Hote Sawl ni thoebonae e hnin dawk Isarelnaw teh a kângairu awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Sawl ni ka tarannaw lathueng moi ka pathung hoe roukrak, tangmin a pha hoehroukrak bu ka cat e tami teh thoebo lah awm seh telah taminaw koe lawkkamnae a ta pouh, apinihai rawca cat a hoeh.
25 All the people came into the forest; and there was honey on the ground.
Tami pueng teh ratu dawk a pha awh teh, khoitui onae koe ao awh.
26 When the people had come to the forest, behold, honey was dripping, but no one put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.
Kahrawng a kâen awh nah khoitui dekdek a ca e a hmu awh. Thoe a bo e a taki awh dawkvah, apihai a kutdawn hoi hai palem awh hoeh.
27 But Jonathan didn’t hear when his father commanded the people with the oath. Therefore he put out the end of the rod that was in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes brightened.
Jonathan teh a na pa ni tami thoebo lahoi lawk a kam sak e panuek hoeh. A sin e sonron hmo hoi khoipha a cuek teh a palem. Hatnavah a mit vuk a ang.
28 Then one of the people answered, and said, “Your father directly commanded the people with an oath, saying, ‘Cursed is the man who eats food today.’” So the people were faint.
Ransa buet touh ni a dei pouh, na pa ni sahnin dawk rawca ka cat e pueng teh thoebo lah awm seh telah tami pueng lawkkam a poe.
29 Then Jonathan said, “My father has troubled the land. Please look how my eyes have brightened because I tasted a little of this honey.
Jonathan ni apa ni ram runae a poe. Hete khoitui yitca ka patek e lahoi ka mit banghloimaw a ang sak, khenhaw.
30 How much more, if perhaps the people had eaten freely today of the plunder of their enemies which they found? For now there has been no great slaughter among the Philistines.”
Taminaw ni a taran kut dawk e a la e rawca a ngai patetlah catnet awh haw pawiteh aw, banghloimaw a phu ao han. Atu Filistin taminaw thei hane yit touh thet thai hoeh toe hei.
31 They struck the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. The people were very faint;
Hate hnin navah Mikmash hoi Aijalon totouh Filistinnaw hah a pâlei awh. Tami pueng a tawntam poung awh.
32 and the people pounced on the plunder, and took sheep, cattle, and calves, and killed them on the ground; and the people ate them with the blood.
Taminaw ni hnopai hah a cusin awh teh tu maitotan hoi a ca hah a man awh teh talai dawk a thei awh teh, taminaw ni a thi hoi hmai a ca awh.
33 Then they told Saul, saying, “Behold, the people are sinning against the LORD, in that they eat meat with the blood.” He said, “You have dealt treacherously. Roll a large stone to me today!”
Khenhaw! thi hoi hmai a ca awh dawk taminaw ni BAWIPA dawk a yon awh toe telah Sawl koe a dei pouh awh teh, ahni ni nangmouh teh yuem na kamcu hoeh toe. Sahnin vah talung kalenpounge kai koe palet awh telah atipouh.
34 Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them, ‘Every man bring me here his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and eat; and don’t sin against the LORD in eating meat with the blood.’” All the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and killed them there.
Sawl ni taminaw koe cet awh nateh ahnimouh koe lengkaleng namamae tu, maitonaw hah kai koe thokhai awh nateh, hie hmuen koe thet nateh cat awh haw. Thi hoi hmai ca e lahoi BAWIPA koe yonnae sak awh hanh atipouh e patetlah hat nae tangmin vah taminaw ni lengkaleng amamae maitonaw hah a thokhai awh teh hote hmuen koe a thei awh.
35 Saul built an altar to the LORD. This was the first altar that he built to the LORD.
Sawl ni BAWIPA hanelah thuengnae khoungroe a sak, hote thuengnae khoungroe teh apasuekpoung BAWIPA hanelah sak e lah ao.
36 Saul said, “Let’s go down after the Philistines by night, and take plunder among them until the morning light. Let’s not leave a man of them.” They said, “Do whatever seems good to you.” Then the priest said, “Let’s draw near here to God.”
Sawl ni Filistinnaw koe karum vah Filistinnaw pâlei awh nateh khodai totouh buet touh hai hlout hoeh nahan thet awh telah a dei pouh. Ahnimouh ni hai ahawi na tie patetlah sak, telah bout a dei awh. Hatei vaihma bawi ni hete hmuen koe Cathut koe hnai awh ei atipouh.
37 Saul asked counsel of God: “Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?” But he didn’t answer him that day.
Sawl ni Filistinnaw ka tuk han rah maw ahnimanaw Isarelnaw kut dawk na poe han maw, Cathut koe a pacei eiteh, hote hnin dawk lawk dei pouh hoeh.
38 Saul said, “Draw near here, all you chiefs of the people, and know and see in whom this sin has been today.
Sawl ni nangmouh tamihu ka uk e pueng tho awh, sahnin vah hete yonnae bangnaw maw tie panue hoi hmu hane kâyawm awh haw.
39 For as the LORD lives, who saves Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die.” But there was not a man among all the people who answered him.
Isarelnaw e BAWIPA a hring e patetlah ka capa Jonathan nakunghai a due roeroe han telah ati. Hatei taminaw thueng dawk lawk ka pathung e buet touh hai awm hoeh.
40 Then he said to all Israel, “You be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side.” The people said to Saul, “Do what seems good to you.”
Sawl ni Isarelnaw koe nangmouh hmuen buet touh koe lah awm awh. Kai hoi ka capa Jonathan teh hmuen buet touh koe ka o han ati teh, ahawi na tie patetlah sak yawkaw taminaw ni telah Sawl koe atipouh awh.
41 Therefore Saul said to the LORD, the God of Israel, “Show the right.” Jonathan and Saul were chosen, but the people escaped.
Sawl ni BAWIPA Isarelnaw e Cathut koe a tang e hah kamnuek sak awh atipouh navah Sawl hoi Jonathan dawk cungpam a pabo teh taminaw pueng a hlout awh.
42 Saul said, “Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son.” Jonathan was selected.
Sawl ni kai hoi ka capa Jonathan hah cungpam rayu awh haw atipouh teh Jonathan e van a bo.
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done!” Jonathan told him, and said, “I certainly did taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; and behold, I must die.”
Sawl ni Jonathan koevah nang ni bang hno maw na sak dei haw atipouh. Jonathan ni ka kut dawk e sonron hoi khoitui ka tek katang toe. Khenhaw! kai ka due han toe telah Sawl koe bout a dei pouh.
44 Saul said, “God do so and more also; for you shall surely die, Jonathan.”
Sawl ni na due katang han. Na dout hoehpawiteh Cathut ni hot hlak hoe sak naseh.
45 The people said to Saul, “Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it! As the LORD lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he has worked with God today!” So the people rescued Jonathan, so he didn’t die.
Taminaw ni Isarelnaw dawk kalen poung rungngangnae ka sak e Jonathan a due han namaw, khuet dout ti. BAWIPA a hring e patetlah a lû dawk e sam buet touh boehai talai dawk bawt mahoeh. Sahnin vah Cathut hoi rei a tawk ati awh. Hottelah taminaw ni Jonathan a rungngang awh teh dout hoeh.
46 Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.
Hathnukkhu Sawl ni Filistinnaw pâlei e hah a ban takhai awh teh a onae hmuen koe koung a ban awh.
47 Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side: against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. Wherever he turned himself, he defeated them.
Sawl ni Isarelnaw lathueng a uknaeram a caksak teh avangvang lae Zobah siangpahrangnaw hoi Filistinnaw a tuk awh. A tuk awh nah tangkuem a tâ awh.
48 He did valiantly and struck the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those who plundered them.
Ransanaw a pâkhueng teh, Amalek taminaw a tuk awh. Isarelnaw hah ahnimae kut dawk hoi a rungngang awh.
49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malchishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.
Sawl e capanaw teh Jonathan, Ishvi hoi Malkhishua doeh. A canu roi e min teh, kacue e Merab, kanaw e teh Mikhal doeh.
50 The name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the captain of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.
Sawl e a yu teh Ahinoam Ahimaaz canu doeh. Ransabawi e min teh Abner. Sawl e a na pa kanaw teh Ner capa doeh.
51 Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.
Kish teh Sawl e a na pa doeh. Abner e na pa Ner teh Abiel capa doeh.
52 There was severe war against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man or any valiant man, he took him into his service.
Sawl a hringyung thung Filistinnaw hoi puenghoi a kâtuk awh, athakaawme taminaw thoseh a tarankahawinaw thoseh a hmu e pueng hah ama hanelah a pâkhueng.
