1 Samuel 23
1 And they declare to David, saying, 'Lo, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they are spoiling the threshing-floors.'
Nikhat David heng’ah thu ahung lhungin, Philistine miten Keilah kho abulu-uvin, chule changpholla chang jouse jong akichomgam tauve, ahung tiuve.
2 And David asketh at Jehovah, saying, 'Do I go? — and have I smitten among these Philistines?' And Jehovah saith unto David, 'Go, and thou hast smitten among the Philistines, and saved Keilah.'
David in Pakai koma, “Kagache a kagasat ding ham?” tia adohle, Pakaiyin ahindonbut in, “Henge, chenlang Keilah khopi khu ga huhdoh in,” ati.
3 And David's men say unto him, 'Lo, we here in Judah are afraid; and how much more when we go to Keilah, unto the ranks of the Philistines?'
Ahinlah David asepaiten ajah’a, “Ven eiho Judah gamsung jenga jong kichatah’a um ihiuvin, i-atileh Keilah khoa icheuva hiche Philistine sepaite khujatpi khutoh ikisatto pi thei diu ham?” atiuve.
4 And David addeth again to ask at Jehovah, and Jehovah answereth him, and saith, 'Rise, go down to Keilah, for I am giving the Philistines into thy hand.'
Hijeh chun David in jong Pakai adongkit in ahile, Pakaiyin ajah’a, “Keilah ah kumsuh un, ajeh chu keiman kapanpia Philistine mite najo dingu ahi,” ati.
5 And David goeth, and his men, to Keilah, and fighteth with the Philistines, and leadeth away their cattle, and smiteth among them — a great smiting, and David saveth the inhabitants of Keilah.
Hijeh chun David le asepaite jong Keilah khopi’ah acheuvin, Philistinete agasat’un, mitamtah agathat tauve, chule agancha jouseu ahin kikai’un chule Keilah kho miho jong ahuhdoh un ahi.
6 And it cometh to pass, in the fleeing of Abiathar son of Ahimelech unto David, to Keilah, an ephod came down in his hand.
Ahimelech chapa Abiathar chu Keilah khopia kona ahung jamdoh’a David kom ahin jot chun, Thempuvon ompho khat ahin kipohlut in ahi.
7 And it is declared to Saul that David hath come in to Keilah, and Saul saith, 'God hath made him known for my hand, for he hath been shut in, to enter into a city of doors and bar.'
David chu Keilah khoah ahung luttai tithu Saul’in ajah phat in, “Aphalheh jenge! Tuavang hi Pathen in kakhutna apehdoh ahitai, ajeh kulpi kaikhumsa, kulpi kikamkhum sung’a David hi ama amachama hung vahlut ahitai,” ati.
8 And Saul summoneth the whole of the people to battle, to go down to Keilah, to lay siege unto David and unto his men.
Hitah chun Saul in asepaite jouse akhom khom soh keiyin, Keilah khopi chu ahin nokhum’un, David le asepaite chu aumkhum tauvin ahi
9 And David knoweth that against him Saul is devising the evil, and saith unto Abiathar the priest, 'Bring nigh the ephod.'
Ahinlah David in Saul thilgon jouse chu ahen, Abiathar thempupa jah’ah, “Thempuvon ompho chu hikomah hinchoiyin,” ati.
10 And David saith, 'Jehovah, God of Israel, Thy servant hath certainly heard that Saul is seeking to come in unto Keilah, to destroy the city on mine account.
Chuin David in, “Vo Pakai Israel Pathen, keima hiche muna kaum jeh hin Saul in Keilah khopia hung’a akhopi hi suhchim ding tohgon aneiyin ahi.
11 Do the possessors of Keilah shut me up into his hand? doth Saul come down as Thy servant hath heard? Jehovah, God of Israel, declare, I pray Thee, to Thy servant.' And Jehovah saith, 'He doth come down.'
Hiche kho mite hin keima hi amaho khutna eipehdoh diu ham? Chule Saul hung mong ding hinam? Vo Pakai Israel Pathen, lungsettah in neiseipeh in,” tin ataovin ahi. Chuin Pakaiyin, “Hung ding ahi,” tin adonbut in ahi.
12 And David saith, 'Do the possessors of Keilah shut me up, and my men, into the hand of Saul?' And Jehovah saith, 'They shut [thee] up.'
David’in jong, “Keilah khopia lamkaiho hin, keima le kasepaite hohi Saul khutna eipeh doh dingu ham?” tin adong kit’in ahi. Chule Pakaiyin, “Henge amahon napehdoh dingu ahi,” tin ahin donbut in ahi.
13 And David riseth — and his men — about six hundred men, and they go out from Keilah, and go up and down where they go up and down; and to Saul it hath been declared that David hath escaped from Keilah, and he ceaseth to go out.
David le amiteho chu jagup vel alhinphat'un, Keilah mun chu adalhauvin thinglhang lang’ah apotdoh’u le David chu jamdoh tai tithu chu Saul lengpan ajahdoh phat in Keilah khopi lam chu anajon tapoi.
14 And David abideth in the wilderness, in fortresses, and abideth in the hill-country, in the wilderness of Ziph; and Saul seeketh him all the days, and God hath not given him into his hand.
David vang chu gamthip lah ah munthip khat’ah aumin, Ziph gamthip thinglhang gamlah ah chun apansa dentai.
15 And David seeth that Saul hath come out to seek his life, and David [is] in the wilderness of Ziph, in a forest.
Nikhat chu Horesh kom vella David aum pet in, Saul chun David tha ding hollin Ziph lam ahin jon touve tithu ajantan ahi.
16 And Jonathan son of Saul riseth, and goeth unto David to the forest, and strengtheneth his hand in God,
Hichun Jonathan in jong David kimupia Pathen tahsan tah’a dingdet kheh ding in atilkhou ding in ahol in ahi.
17 and saith unto him, 'Fear not, for the hand of Saul my father doth not find thee, and thou dost reign over Israel, and I am to thee for second, and also so knoweth Saul my father.'
tin Jonathan’in, “Kicha hih in, kapan namudoh jouponte! Nangma Israel te leng nahung hi ding ahi, keima kapa banga nang bana kahi ding ahi, hichu kappa Saul in ahet ahi,” tin ana tilkhouvin ahi.
18 And they make a covenant both of them before Jehovah; and David abideth in the forest, and Jonathan hath gone to his house.
Hijeh chun amanin Pakai masang ah kitepna khat anei lhonin ahi. Chuin Jonathan ain lamah akilen, David vang chu Horesh mun ah aumdentai.
19 And the Ziphites go up unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, 'Is not David hiding himself with us in fortresses, in the forest, in the height of Hachilah, which [is] on the south of the desolate place?
Chujouvin Ziph miho chu Gibeah muna Saul hengah acheuvin, David chu apedoh tauvin ahi. “Keihon kiselna mun kaheuve, Ama tuhin Jeshimon lhanglam’a um Hakilah thinglhang gam sung, Horesh kulpi dunga keiho lah’a David kisel ahi,” atiuvin ahi.
20 And, now, by all the desire of thy soul, O king, to come down, come down, and ours [is] to shut him up into the hand of the king.'
“Vo lengpa naki got chaiya nakigin phat phat’a nahung konsuh’a ahile keihon jong jaonan napanpi ving ting, David chu nangma khut’a pedoh nauvinge,” aga tiuvin ahi.
21 And Saul saith, 'Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, for ye have pity on me;
Hichun Saul in jong, “Pakaiyin phatthei naboh’u hen, ajeh chu nanghon hibangtah’a keima ding neihin gel khohpeh uve.
22 go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know and see his place where his foot is; who hath seen him there? for [one] hath said unto me, He is very subtile.
Cheloiyunlang, phatechan gaphochen un, aumna mun, age namun, gahechen set uvin unlang gavechil chet tauvin, ajeh chu, amahi mi kilep themtah ahi.
23 And see and know of all the hiding-places where he hideth himself, and ye have turned back unto me prepared, and I have gone with you, and it hath been, if he is in the land, that I have searched him out through all the thousands of Judah.'
Hijeh chun akisel namun hoilai ham ti, gavechilsoh keijuvin ima jouse he sohkei uvin lang, kahenga hungkit uvin, chutengle keijong, nangho toh kilhona icheuva agamsunga David aumpou pouva ahileh kahol doh teitei ding ahi,” ati.
24 And they rise and go to Ziph before Saul, and David and his men [are] in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain, at the south of the desolate place.
Hijeh chun amaho jong akipatdoh uvin Ziph gamlanga chun Saul sang in anache masa tauve. David le asepaite chu hiche pet’a hi Jeshimon lhang lama Arabah gamsung Ma’on gammang noiya kisel’ah ahiuve.
25 And Saul and his men go to seek, and they declare to David, and he goeth down the rock, and abideth in the wilderness of Maon; and Saul heareth, and pursueth after David [to] the wilderness of Maon.
Saul le amiten aholle leuve ti David in ajahdoh phat in, gamthip sunglam agamla jep songpi lentah khat sungah alutin, Maon gamthip ah aumtan ahi. Ahinlah Saul chun ana hol jing in ahi.
26 And Saul goeth on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain, and David is hastened to go from the face of Saul, and Saul and his men are compassing David and his men, to catch them.
Chuin Saul le amite molpang langkhat ah achen, hibangma chun David le aloiho jong molpang lang khat ah acheuvin, chuin Saul le aloiho chun, David le amite chu nailutna matdin aumkul tauvin ahi.
27 And a messenger hath come in unto Saul, saying, 'Haste, and come, for the Philistines have pushed against the land.'
Ahin Saul heng ah thusoh kin khat ahung lhungin, ajah ah, “Gangtah’in hungin jeh chu Philistine ten gamsung gal hin boltauve,” tin ahung seijun ahi.
28 And Saul turneth back from pursuing after David, and goeth to meet the Philistines, therefore they have called that place 'The Rock of Divisions.'
Hijeh chun David nung adella konin Saul akinunglen, Philistine te satdin achetai. Hijeh chun hiche mun chu Sela-hammahlekoth asah tauvin ahi.
29 And David goeth up thence, and abideth in fortresses [at] En-gedi.
Chuin David chua kon chun achetouvin Engedi mun dettah sunga achengtai.
