< 1 Samuel 20 >
1 And David fleeth from Naioth in Ramah, and cometh, and saith before Jonathan, 'What have I done? what [is] mine iniquity? and what my sin before thy father, that he is seeking my life?'
David chu Ramah gam'a Naioth a konin ajamdoh’in, Jonathan kom ajonin, “Ipi kabol’a, Ipi kabol khel hitam? Itobang gitlouna ipi um’a napan tha dinga eihol le le ham?” ati.
2 And he saith to him, 'Far be it! thou dost not die; lo, my father doth not do anything great or small and doth not uncover mine ear; and wherefore doth my father hide from me this thing? this [thing] is not.'
Jonathan in, “Hichu dihlou ahi, nangma thipon nate, abol ding jouse thilneo hihen lang thil len hijongleh kei hetlouvin ima abolji poi, eihetsah jinai. Kapan hitobang thil hohi, kakoma aselguh louhel ding ahi,” tin ana nelkal in ahi.
3 And David sweareth again, and saith, 'Thy father hath certainly known that I have found grace in thine eyes, and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved; and yet, Jehovah liveth, and thy soul liveth, but — as a step between me and death.'
Chuin David in Jonathan masang ah akihahsellin, “Napan iki golngai lhon hi kichentah’a ahetsoh kei ahi, hijeh chun amale ama akihouvin, Jonathan hetsah da tange, ipibolla alung kasuhnat ding ham? Ahinlah hingjing Pakai le nangma min pana kasei ahi keima le thina kikah hi kal khat seh bou uma ahi!” ati.
4 And Jonathan saith to David, 'What doth thy soul say? — and I do it for thee.'
Jonathan in, “Ipi ti kakithopi thei ding ham neiseipeh in,” ati.
5 And David saith unto Jonathan, 'Lo, the new moon [is] to-morrow; and I do certainly sit with the king to eat; and thou hast sent me away, and I have been hidden in a field till the third evening;
David in adonbut in, “Jing nikho hi lhathah kut ahin, lengpa to ankong umkhom dingdol kahi, ahin keima jing nikho tengle loulaiya kakisela hichea chu nithum chan na nilhah tokah’a kaumden ding ahi,” ati.
6 if thy father at all look after me, and thou hast said, David asked earnestly of me to run to Beth-Lehem his city, for a sacrifice of the days [is] there for all the family.
“Napan hoiya che ham tia nahin doh’a ahileh, Bethlehem ain’ah kumseh kilhaina bol dingin kakom ah phalna athum’in ache’e tin seipeh in,” ati.
7 If thus he say: Good; peace [is] for thy servant; and if it be very displeasing to him — know that the evil hath been determined by him;
“Aman ‘Aphai!’ atia ahileh, thu anome ti nahet ding ahi. Ahinlah alung ahanna alung alhaso khah’a ahile, eithanom ahi ti nahet ding ahi.
8 and thou hast done kindness, to thy servant, for into a covenant of Jehovah thou hast brought thy servant with thee; — and if there is in me iniquity, put thou me to death; and unto thy father, why is this — thou dost bring me in?'
Lungset tah in hiti chun neibolpeh in, thengsel’a kahenga Pakai ang’a nakitepna nit’in. amavang napa douna a themmo kahile nangmatah’in neithat jengin. Ahinlah nei joulhep hih beh in,” ati.
9 And Jonathan saith, 'Far be it from thee! for I certainly do not know that the evil hath been determined by my father to come upon thee, and I do not declare it to thee.'
Jonathan in, “Hitobang chu agel in geldan, kapan chutobang’a nangma tha nading lunggel neocha hijongle anei mong’a ahile, nang kahin mahetsah tei ding ahi,” ati.
10 And David saith unto Jonathan, 'Who doth declare to me? or what [if] thy father doth answer thee sharply?'
Chuin David in, “Napa alunghang’e ahiloule alunghang poi tichu ken iti kahet thei ding ham?” tin adong in ahi.
11 And Jonathan saith unto David, 'Come, and we go out into the field;' and they go out both of them into the field.
Jonathan in adonbut’in, “Hungin loulai langa khun gapotdoh hite,” ati. Chule polam’ah akijotdoh khom lhonin ahi.
12 And Jonathan saith unto David, 'Jehovah, God of Israel — when I search my father, about [this] time to-morrow [or] the third [day], and lo, good [is] towards David, and I do not then send unto thee, and have uncovered thine ear —
Chuti chun Jonathan in David komah, “Pakai Israel Pathen chu ahettohsah hijeng hen! Keiman jing tuphat don ahilouleh nithum joutengle, kappa dongin katin, nachung alungdam nah le thu kahin thot ding,
13 thus doth Jehovah do to Jonathan, and thus doth He add; when the evil concerning thee is good to my father, then I have uncovered thine ear, and sent thee away, and thou hast gone in peace, and Jehovah is with thee, as he was with my father;
“Ahinlah ijem tia kappa alunghan’a nangma tha tei ding nagot’a, nangma na hindohtei tei nadinga keiman nahenga kaseipeh masat’a kasolmang lou poupouva ahileh Pakaiyin Jonathan kiti keima hi eibolsejo hen ahilou jongle eithat jeng hen. Pakaiyin kapa ana umpi bangin nang jong naumpi hen,” ati.
14 and not only while I am alive dost thou do with me the kindness of Jehovah, and I die not,
“Neingailut monga ahileh, kahinkho aumlai sungsen Pakai ngailutna sangtah in nei ngailun. Ahinlah kathia ahileh,
15 but thou dost not cut off thy kindness from my house unto the age, nor in Jehovah's cutting off the enemies of David, each one from off the face of the ground.'
Kainsung mite din tahsan umtah ngailutna sangtah in hin ngailun chule Pakaiyin nagalmite jouse jong leiset a konin suhmang gamkei hen,” ati.
16 And Jonathan covenanteth with the house of David, and Jehovah hath sought [it] from the hand of the enemies of David;
Hijeh chun Jonathan in David toh kitepna khat asemin, “Pakaiyin nagalmite jouse asugam keihen!” ati.
17 and Jonathan addeth to cause David to swear, because he loveth him, for with the love of his own soul he hath loved him.
Chule Jonathan in David chu ama aki ngailut bang banga angailut jeh chun, David in jong angailut din akitepsah kit tan ahi.
18 And Jonathan saith to him, 'To-morrow [is] new moon, and thou hast been looked after, for thy seat is looked after;
Chuin Jonathan in, “Jing nikho le lhathah kut kimang ding ahin, natouna dokhang a-on jeh’a nakiholmo ding ahi,” ati.
19 and on the third day thou dost certainly come down, and hast come in unto the place where thou wast hidden in the day of the work, and hast remained near the stone Ezel.
“Athaini nilhah lam leh, tumasanga nakiselji na mun songpi pang mama’a chun che in lang gakisel tan.
20 'And I shoot three of the arrows at the side, sending out for myself at a mark;
Chule keima kahungdoh’a doikhat neibanga, thalchang thum hiche panga chu kahinkap ding ahi,” ati.
21 and lo, I send the youth: Go, find the arrows. If I at all say to the youth, Lo, the arrows [are] on this side of thee — take them, — then come thou, for peace [is] for thee, and there is nothing; Jehovah liveth.
“Chule chapang khat thal chang ho hol ding’a kahinsol ding ahi. Chule chapangpa jah’a, ‘Ven, thalchang ho chu nasihlam panga naume,’ tia kasei najah a ahile, hing jing Pakai mina kasei ahi, abonchan aphasoh keiye, imacha hahsatna aumpoi.
22 And if thus I say to the young man, Lo, the arrows [are] beyond thee, — go, for Jehovah hath sent thee away;
Amavang keiman amajah’a, “Gamla jepmah chen, thal chang chu nakhel lamah aume, katia ahile, nalampia gangtah’in che jeng in, ajeh chu Pakaiyin nasolmang ahi,” ti hetna ahi,” ati.
23 as to the thing which we have spoken, I and thou, lo, Jehovah [is] between me and thee — unto the age.'
“Chule Pakai ahettohsah ahijeh'in, ikitepna vang chu Pakaiyin tonsot geiya einitsah teitei lhon hen,” ati
24 And David is hidden in the field, and it is the new moon, and the king sitteth down by the food to eat,
Hitichun David chu loulaiyah akisellin, chule lhathah kut kiman na ahunglhun phat in, Lengpa chu, anne dingin atou lhatan ahi.
25 and the king sitteth on his seat, as time by time, on a seat by the wall, and Jonathan riseth, and Abner sitteth at the side of Saul, and David's place is looked after.
Chule lengpa chu nidanga bangin bangkoma touna chunga chun atouvin ahi. Jonathan toh akimai ngatton, chule Abner asih-lang ah atouve. Ahin David touna chu a-ongtai.
26 And Saul hath not spoken anything on that day, for he said, 'It [is] an accident; he is not clean — surely not clean.'
Ahinlah Saul in hicheni chun imacha aseipoi, ajeh chu ama chunga thil thenglou khattou David asuhboh hinte, tia alunggel ahi.
27 And it cometh to pass on the second morrow of the new moon, that David's place is looked after, and Saul saith unto Jonathan his son, 'Wherefore hath the son of Jesse not come in, either yesterday or to-day, unto the food?'
Ahinlah, ajinga jong David touna a-on kit phat in, Saul in Jonathan jah’a, “Ipi jeh’a Jesse chapa janhia jong tunia jong hunglou hitam?” tin adongtai.
28 And Jonathan answereth Saul, 'David hath been earnestly asked of me unto Beth-Lehem,
Jonathan in, “David in Bethlehem a cheding in hatah in kakoma phalna athumin,
29 and he saith, Send me away, I pray thee, for a family sacrifice we have in the city, and my brother himself hath given command to me, and now, if I have found grace in thine eyes, let me go away, I pray thee, and see my brethren; therefore he hath not come unto the table of the king.'
Aman, ‘Lungset tah in, neichesah in, ajeh chu kainsung miten kumseh a kho sunga gan kilhaina kaneidiu ahin, chule kasopi te hotoh jong kakimupi nom’e, tin ataovin ahi. Hijeh a chu lengpa dokhang’a atouna ong’ah ahi,” atin ahi.
30 And the anger of Saul burneth against Jonathan, and he saith to him, 'Son of a perverse rebellious woman! have I not known that thou art fixing on the son of Jesse to thy shame, and to the shame of the nakedness of thy mother?
Chuin Jonathan chunga Saul alunghang behseh jengin, “Numei chaveinu chapa!” tin lunghang tah’in ahousen ahi. “Nalunggel hohi ken kahetlouva nagel ham? Nakhella lenga natungot ham? Nangma le nanu jumso pa,” ati.
31 for all the days that the son of Jesse liveth on the ground thou art not established, thou and thy kingdom; and now, send and bring him unto me, for he [is] a son of death.'
“Jesse chapa David ahinlai sungsen, nang leng’in pang theipon nate. Tun chenlang gaholdoh in katha ding ahi,” ati.
32 And Jonathan answereth Saul his father, and saith unto him, 'Why is he put to death? what hath he done?'
Jonathan in, “Ipijeh’a kithat ding ham? Aman ipi abolset ham?” tin apa adongin ahi.
33 And Saul casteth the javelin at him to smite him, and Jonathan knoweth that it hath been determined by his father to put David to death.
Chuin Saul in achapa Jonathan chu thadingin tengchan akho jeng in ahi. Hichea kon chun Jonathan in jong apan David thading’a agot mong ahi tichu ahedoh tai.
34 And Jonathan riseth from the table in the heat of anger, and hath not eaten food on the second day of the new moon, for he hath been grieved for David, for his father put him to shame.
Hichun Jonathan chu lunghang tah’in dokhang akonin akipatdoh in, apan ajachat sah behseh jeh chun chuche kut ni ni lhin nichun an ane tapoi, David chu alungkhampi lheh tan ahi.
35 And it cometh to pass in the morning, that Jonathan goeth out into the field for the appointment with David, and a little youth [is] with him.
Ajing jingkah in David toh akitepna bangin, Jonathan chu chapang khat toh apotdoh lhon in, loujaova chun ache lhontai.
36 And he saith to his youth, 'Run, find, I pray thee, the arrows which I am shooting;' the youth is running, and he hath shot the arrow, causing [it] to pass over him.
Chuin aman chapangpa jah’a chun “ka kapgot thalchang hohi gaholdoh in,” ati. Chuin chapangpa chu alhaijel in ahile, Jonathan in akal langpeh a thalchang chu akap’in ahi.
37 And the youth cometh unto the place of the arrow which Jonathan hath shot, and Jonathan calleth after the youth, and saith, 'Is not the arrow beyond thee?'
Chuin chapangpa chu Jonathan in akapdoh thalchang kom aphah phat ding konin, Jonathan in chapangpa jah-a, “Thalchang chu akal langpeh’ah achubouve,” atin ahi.
38 and Jonathan calleth after the youth, 'Speed, haste, stand not;' and Jonathan's youth gathereth the arrows, and cometh unto his lord.
Jonathanin chapangpa chu asamin, “Hikoma chun dingden hih in, agang gangin hinchoi loiyin,” ati. Chuin chapangpa chun thalchangho chu achom khomin, apu henga ahungtai.
39 And the youth hath not known anything, only Jonathan and David knew the word.
Ahinlah chapangpa chun imacha ahepon, Jonathan le David in bou thil kibolho chu ahet lhon ahi.
40 And Jonathan giveth his weapons unto the youth whom he hath, and saith to him, 'Go, carry into the city.'
Chuin Jonathan in amanchah ho chu chapangpa apen, chenlang khopi sungah anapolut in tin asoltai.
41 The youth hath gone, and David hath risen from Ezel, at the south, and falleth on his face to the earth, and boweth himself three times, and they kiss one another, and they weep one with another, till David exerted himself;
Chuin chapangpa apotdoh doh in, songlhuh pang’a akiselna a konin David chu ahung potdoh'in, thumveijen tollah amai asulut in Jonathan maiyah akunin, anilhon in amitlhipum in akikolto lhonin ana kivailhah lhon tai. Hichu Jonathan sangin David apona dehset in ahi.
42 and Jonathan saith to David, 'Go in peace, in that we have sworn — we two — in the name of Jehovah, saying, Jehovah is between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed — unto the age;' and he riseth and goeth; and Jonathan hath gone in to the city.
Jonathan in David komah, “Lungmong’in chetan, Pakai mina thengsel’a ikihahsel lhon nang le kei, na chilhahte le keiya din, ikitepna chu tonsot geiyin Pakaiyin eikoi jing u hen,” ati. Hichun David in adalhan, chule Jonathan jong khopi lam’ah akile kittai.
