1 Samuel 30
1 When David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made a raid on the South and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag and burned it with fire,
Nithum jouvin, David le aloite ain’u Ziklag khopi agalhun phatun, Amalek miten Negev chule Ziklag ana sat uva, Ziklag khopi chu meiya ana hal vam’u agatoh khauvin ahi.
2 and had taken captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great. They didn’t kill any, but carried them off and went their way.
Mihem khatcha that louvin, numeile chapang gei geiyin ana kaimang uvin ahi.
3 When David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, their sons, and their daughters were taken captive.
Chuin David le amihon thilsoh le akisuh chimit chu amuva chule insung uva thil anasoh ho amu phat uvin,
4 Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voice and wept until they had no more power to weep.
Amaho ha kan akap’un, acholdeh chan geiyin akap un ahi.
5 David’s two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
David jiteni, Jezreela akona Ahinoam chule Carmel akona Nabal meithai, Abigail, teni jong chu akaimang nalah uva chu jaotha’ah ahi.
6 David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the souls of all the people were grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David strengthened himself in Yahweh his God.
Hijeh chun, David jong alung himo behseh jengtan ahi, ajeh chu amiteho jile chateho jong ana kaimang u ahi. Ahinlah David in Pathen akon in thahatna akimu ben ahi.
7 David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Please bring the ephod here to me.” Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
Hijeh chun Abiathar in thempupa jah’a, “Thempu von ompho chu neihin hoipeh in,” ati. Hijeh chun Abiathar in hichu ahinchoi peh’in ahi
8 David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “If I pursue after this troop, will I overtake them?” He answered him, “Pursue, for you will surely overtake them, and will without fail recover all.”
Chuin David in jong Pakai adongin, “Hiche Amalek mite hi anung’u del leng kaphah ding hinam?” atileh Pakaiyin ahin adonbut in, “Henge, dellin, akaimangsa jouse jong nanung mu kit ding ahi!” ati.
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those who were left behind stayed.
Hijeh chun David in mi jagup akigot in, Besor vadung ahungpha tauve.
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they couldn’t go over the brook Besor.
Sepaite jani vang chu Besor vadung agalkai ding’u chu alel behseh jeh’u chun, David chun amoh cheng mi jali toh adeltou peh uvin ahi.
11 They found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they gave him water to drink.
Ache uva ahile gamlah ah Egypt mite khat amandoh uvin David henga ahin akailut tauve. Amahon nehding changlhah phabep chule adonding twi apeuvin ahi.
12 They gave him a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. When he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread, and drank no water for three days and three nights.
Chule theichang-ga a kisem changlhah lhon jong apeuvin aneh a adon jou phat in atha ahung hat dohtan ahi. Ajeh chu an nelou twidon louva nithum le janthum jen kelthoh a um anahitai.
13 David asked him, “To whom do you belong? Where are you from?” He said, “I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I got sick.
Chuin David in, “Hoiya hungkon nahia, koimi nahim” tia adoh le, “Keima Egypt mi gollhang kahin, Amalek mikhat soh kahi, nithum masanga pat’a chu damlou kahi, kadammo a kipat’a ka pakaipan eidalhah ahitai.
14 We made a raid on the South of the Cherethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the South of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.”
Judah gamsung a Chereth mite gamsung’a Negev khopi, Caleb phung mite gamsung kachom un, chule Ziklag khopi chu meiyin kahal lhah uva hung kile kahiuve,” ati.
15 David said to him, “Will you bring me down to this troop?” He said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me and not deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this troop.”
Hichun David in, “Hiche michom ho koma chu neipuilut thei ding ham?” tia adoh le, gollhangpan, “Keima neitha da-a, chule kapu henga neipehdoh kit lou ding’a, Pathen min’a nakihahsel le, keiman napui nange,” ati.
16 When he had brought him down, behold, they were spread around over all the ground, eating, drinking, and dancing, because of all the great plunder that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
Hijeh chun David chu apuijin ahile amahon Amalek miteho chun Philistine gamsung le Judah gamsung’a kona achomdoh thilkeo simsen lou kipapina’a golnop abol uva, muntina akithe thang uva, ane pet u, adon pet u chule ala pet u, atohkha tauvin ahi.
17 David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day. Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men who rode on camels and fled.
Chuti chun David le amiten anokhum un, jan khovah keiyin Amalek mite chu athat un ajing nilhum keiyin nilhangkai chan geiyin athat jing un ahi. Gollhang mi jali sangong sang chunga tou’a ajamdoh ho tilou adangse vang athat soh hel in ahi.
18 David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and David rescued his two wives.
Amalek miten alahpeh jouseu chu David in abonchan ainneipi teni jaonan anung lah peh kittai.
19 There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither plunder, nor anything that they had taken. David brought them all back.
Imacha jong amangthah den aumpoi, aneo alen, chapa ahiloule chanu, abonchan akinung mu kittai.
20 David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, and said, “This is David’s plunder.”
David chun kelngoi hon le bonghon jouse jong abonchan anung lah peh kit in, amiten ahin hoilut soh tauve. Hichun amahon, “Hiche hi David in gal’a achom doh ho ahi,” atiuve.
21 David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to stay at the brook Besor; and they went out to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. When David came near to the people, he greeted them.
Chuin David chu chol behseh jeh a Besor vadunga kidalha sepai jani heng’a achen, David le aloi adangho amuphat uvin ahung potdoh uvin, kipah le thanom tah in ahung lamtouvin ahi.
22 Then all the wicked men and worthless fellows of those who went with David answered and said, “Because they didn’t go with us, we will not give them anything of the plunder that we have recovered, except to every man his wife and his children, that he may lead them away and depart.”
Ahin David mite lah miphalou boina sem jeng miphabep khat ho chun, “Hiche eihotoh kilhonkhom lou ho hin hiche thilkeo kichomdoh hohi kilah thei pouvinte,” ahin tiuve.
23 Then David said, “Do not do so, my brothers, with that which Yahweh has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
Ahinlah David in, “Ahipoi, kasopi teho, hiche thilkeo chunga hin kilosepou hite. Aman damsella eiven uva, galte eijosah uva, ijakaija eikithopiuva,
24 Who will listen to you in this matter? For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so shall his share be who stays with the baggage. They shall share alike.”
Eihon hitia hi thu isei uleh kon nasei angai ding ham? Galkonpa chan jat chu thil ngahpa jong chang tei ding ahi,” tin ahin donbut in ahi.
25 It was so from that day forward that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
Hiche nia kipan chun David in chonna dan ding ana sem in, tuni geiyin Israel sunga chonna dan in akimangtai.
26 When David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the plunder to the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, “Behold, a present for you from the plunder of Yahweh’s enemies.”
Ziklag ahunglhun phat in, gal’a kihom doh thilkeo phabep chu aloi agol Judaho athot in hitin aseiye, “Hiche thilpeh hi nangho ding ahi, Pakai dougal teho a kon ahi,” ati.
27 He sent it to those who were in Bethel, to those who were in Ramoth of the South, to those who were in Jattir,
Athilkeo athot hochu anoiya khomite ding hi ahi, Bethel, Ramoth-negev, Jattir,
28 to those who were in Aroer, to those who were in Siphmoth, to those who were in Eshtemoa,
Aroer, Siphmoth, Eshtermoa,
29 to those who were in Racal, to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,
Jerah’meel khopi Racal, Ken mite khopi dung’a chengte,
30 to those who were in Hormah, to those who were in Borashan, to those who were in Athach,
Hormah, Bor-ashan, Athach,
31 to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to stay.
Hebron chujongle David le asepaite toh akilon na muntin na athotsoh kei uvin ahi.
