1 Samuel 27
1 And David saith unto his heart, 'Now am I consumed one day by the hand of Saul; there is nothing for me better than that I diligently escape unto the land of the Philistines, and Saul hath been despairing of me — of seeking me any more in all the border of Israel, and I have escaped out of his hand.'
Ahinlah David amale ama akingaiton, “Nikhat leh Saul in tha tei ding eigot ahitai. Kabol thei pentah chu ahile Philistine gam'a jamdoh ing ting, Chutileh, Saul in Israel gamsunga eidal le le hi bei tante chuteng hichu kahoidoh na achaina hitante,” ati.
2 And David riseth, and passeth over, he and six hundred men who [are] with him, unto Achish son of Maoch king of Gath;
Hichun David in a sepai mi jagup akipuijin, Gath lengpa Moach chapa Achish ajoptai. David le a sepaite, chule ainsung mite, Gath muna Achish toh acheng khom tauve.
3 and David dwelleth with Achish in Gath, he and his men, each one with his household, [even] David and his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelitess.
David chu aji teni, Ahinoam Jezreel a kon, chule Abigail, Nabal inneipi meithai Carmel’a kon hotoh hungkhom ahiuve.
4 And it is declared to Saul that David hath fled to Gath, and he hath not added any more to seek him.
Saul in adel jamle le theilou nading in David Gath lengpa komah ajamlut tai tithu chu Saul in gangtah in ana jatan ahi.
5 And David saith unto Achish, 'If, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes, they give to me a place in one of the cities of the field, and I dwell there, yea, why doth thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?'
Nikhat David in Achish komah, “Kachunga nalung alhaiya, nalungsetna kachanthei dinga ahile, hiche kholen ho lah’a hin kachenna thei ding mun khat neipen, ajeh chu ipi dinga nasohpa hi hiche lengpa khopi sunga nangtoh kachen khom khom thei ding ham?” ati.
6 And Achish giveth to him in that day Ziklag, therefore hath Ziklag been to the kings of Judah till this day.
Hijeh chun Achish in hiche nikho chun Ziklag khopi chu David anape tai, hijeh a chu tuni changeija Ziklag khopi hi Juda lengte chang den ahitai.
7 And the number of the days which David hath dwelt in the field of the Philistines [is] days and four months;
Chule amaho Philistine mite lah’a kum khat le lha li ana chenguve.
8 and David goeth up and his men, and they push unto the Geshurite, and the Gerizite, and the Amalekite, (for they are inhabitants of the land from of old), as thou comest in to Shur and unto the land of Egypt,
David le a sepai te ana kon touvun Geshur mite le Girzi mite chule Amalek mite aga chom uvin ahi. Hiche mite hohi Shur toh kinai, Egypt mite gamsunga ana chenglui ahitauve.
9 and David hath smitten the land, and doth not keep alive man and woman, and hath taken sheep, and oxen, and asses, and camels, and garments, and turneth back, and cometh in unto Achish.
David in ana nokhum chun koimacha ana hinghoi pon ahi. Aman kelngoi, kelcha, bong, sangan, sa-ngong sao ana kikaiyin, chule ponho analan, Achish lengpa kom ana lhut in ahi.
10 And Achish saith, 'Whither have ye pushed to-day?' and David saith, 'Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelite, and unto the south of the Kenite.'
Achish in, “Tuchung koipen naga chom hitam?” tin anadongin ahile David in, “Juda gam lhanglam sang, Jerahmeel gamsung, Ken mite chenna gamsung dung pou kaga chom ahi,” ati.
11 Neither man nor woman doth David keep alive, to bring in [word] to Gath, saying, 'Lest they declare [it] against us, saying, Thus hath David done, and thus [is] his custom all the days that he hath dwelt in the fields of the Philistines.'
David chun koimacha numei pasal khen beiyin ana thatgam jin, ama le amite natoh dol chu Gath khoa gaseidoh ding aumjipoi. Philistine miho lah’a aum sunga, avel vella hichehi abol jing kei ahi.
12 And Achish believeth in David, saying, 'He hath made himself utterly abhorred among his people, in Israel, and hath been to me for a servant age-during.'
Achish chun David chu atahsan jeh chun, “Tuvang hin Israel miten David hi hatah in doudal tauvin tin, kakoma uma aimatih chana kakin abol ding hita hi,” tin ana gel’e.
