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.'
Devit ni a lungthung hoi, hnin hnin touh teh Sawl kut hoi kadout han doeh, Filistinnaw koe ka yawng hoehpawiteh kai hanelah ahawinae awm mahoeh. Sawl ni Isarel ram thung pueng na tawng e heh a lungpout vaiteh, a kut dawk hoi ka hlout han telah 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;
Hahoi Devit teh a thaw teh, ama hoi ateng kaawm e a tami 600 touh hoi Maok capa Gath siangpahrang Akhish koevah a cei.
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.
Devit teh ama hoi a yu roi Jezreel tami Ahinoam hoi Nabal yu Karmel tami Abigail hoi Gath kho Akhish koe a cei awh.
4 And it is declared to Saul that David hath fled to Gath, and he hath not added any more to seek him.
Gath vah Devit a yawng toe tie Sawl koe a dei pouh awh toteh, bout tawng hoeh toe.
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?'
Devit ni Akhish koevah na minhmai kahawi ka hmawt pawiteh, na ram thung kho buet touh dawk kho ka sak thai nahanelah, o nahane na poe haw. Bangkongmaw na san ni siangpahrang khopui dawk nang koe kho khuet ka sak thai han vaw telah atipouh.
6 And Achish giveth to him in that day Ziklag, therefore hath Ziklag been to the kings of Judah till this day.
Hat toteh, hat hnin râw vah Akhish ni, Ziklag kho a poe. Hatdawkvah Ziklag teh atu totouh Judah ram siangpahrangnaw e lah ao.
7 And the number of the days which David hath dwelt in the field of the Philistines [is] days and four months;
Filistin ram thung Devit teh kum touh hoi thapa yung pali touh ao.
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,
Devit hoi a taminaw ni a takhang awh teh, Geshur taminaw hoi Girzi taminaw hoi Amaleknaw hah a tuk awh. Hote miphunnaw teh Shur hoi Zur ram koe lah Izip ram totouh pou kâkuen e doeh.
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.
Devit ni taran a tuk tangkuem napui tongpa a hlung e awm boihoeh. Tu, La, Maito, Kalauk, hoi khohnanaw a la pouh teh a bankhai, hahoi Akhish koe a cei awh.
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.'
Akhish ni, sahnin nâlaenaw maw na tuk awh telah atipouh. Devit ni, Judah akalah, Jerahmeel taminaw, akalae ram hoi Kennaw akalae ramnaw doeh atipouh.
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.'
Filistin ram ao nah yunglam, Devit ni hettelah pou a sak tet langvaih a titeh, Devit ni napui tongpa Gath kho ceikhai hanelah hlung boihoeh.
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.'
Akhish ni, Devit ni dei e hah a yuem teh, a tami Isarelnaw abuemlah hoi ama kapanuekkung lah a coung sak. Hatdawkvah, kai koe ka san lah pou na o han atipouh.
