1 Samuel 18
1 David in Saul akihoupi jouvin, lengpa chapa Jonathan toh akimuton, Jonathan in David angailut jeh chun, akikah lhona kintah’a kitepna khat semdin akigong lhontan ahi.
And when he had made an ende of speaking vnto Saul, the soule of Ionathan was knit with the soule of Dauid, and Ionathan loued him, as his owne soule.
2 Hichenia kipat chun Saul in David akomah akikoi jingtan ainlamah akilesah kit tapon ahi.
And Saul tooke him that day, and woulde not let him returne to his fathers house.
3 Jonathan in David chu adei behseh jeh le ama akingailut banga angailut jeh in aitih a kikhenpi lou ding in, akikah lhon-ah kihahsel na khat asem in ahi.
Then Ionathan and Dauid made a couenant: for he loued him as his owne soule.
4 Jonathan in hiche akihahsel na melchihnan, achunga kai asangkhol chol chu asut lhan asilpeh in, chule avonho, achemjam le athalpi chule akonggah geiyin David apetan ahi.
And Ionathan put off the robe that was vpon him, and gaue it Dauid, and his garments, euen to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
5 Chutichun Saul in David chu asolna lam lamah achejin alolhing soh keiyin ahi. Hijeh chun Saul in asepaiho chunga gallamkai dingin atungin ahile, mijouse jong achung ah akipah cheh-un ahi.
And Dauid went out whithersoeuer Saul sent him, and behaued himselfe wisely: so that Saul set him ouer the men of warre, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Sauls seruants.
6 Israel miten galjona ahin neijouvun inlama ahung kile kit-un, David in Philistine te ahintha jouvun, khopi jousea nupiho ahung potdoh’un, Saul lengpa ahung kimupiuvin ahi, numeihon khongcha le tumgingthei toh thon kipahtah in lampumin la asauvin ahi.
When they came againe, and Dauid returned from the slaughter of the Philistim, the women came out of all cities of Israel singing and dauncing to meete king Saul, with timbrels, with instruments of ioy, and with rebeckes.
7 Vailhun na’a alasah’u chu hiche ahi, “Saul in asang asangin athat in, David in asangsomasangsom in athat’e!” tin alachoiyun ahi.
And the women sang by course in their play, and sayd, Saul hath slayne his thousand, and Dauid his ten thousand.
8 Hiche chun Saul nasatah in alunghan sah in, “Hiche hi ipiham? Amahon David achoisangun, sangsom athat’e atiuvin, kei sangkhat that in eiseijun. Abankit tengle lengin hin kitun kit taveh tao!” atin ahi.
Therefore Saul was exceeding wroth, and the saying displeased him, and he sayde, They haue ascribed vnto Dauid ten thousand, and to me they haue ascribed but a thousand, and what can he haue more saue the kingdome?
9 Hijeh chun, hichenia kipat chun, Saul in David chu thangthipna mitvet in avepan tan ahi.
Wherefore Saul had an eye on Dauid from that day forward.
10 Ajing nikho maman Pathen a kon in lhagao phalou Saul chungah ahung chukitin, insunga angol pen bangin apengin ahile, David in nidanga bangin, akhut in semjang asaijin ahi. Ahin Saul in akhut’ah tengcha akichoijin ahi.
And on the morowe, the euill spirite of God came vpon Saul, and he prophecied in the middes of the house: and Dauid played with his hand like as at other times, and there was a speare in Sauls hand.
11 Chule hetmanlouvin, tengchan David chu akhon ahi, bangtoh khobeh ding agot ahin, ahinlah David in ana otdoh in ahi.
And Saul tooke the speare, and sayd, I will smite Dauid through to the wall. But Dauid auoyded twise out of his presence.
12 Pathen in Saul adlhah’a David aumpi jeh chun Saul in Daivd chu akichalheh jengtan ahi.
And Saul was afrayd of Dauid, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from Saul.
13 Hijeh chun Saul in, David chu sepai sangkhat chung’a lamkai ding in akoijin gamlatah in asolmang tan ahi. David in jong kitup tah in alamkaijin gal akonpi in ahi.
Therefore Saul put him from him, and made him a captaine ouer a thousand, and he went out and in before the people.
14 Chuin David Pakaiyin aumpi jeh chun imalam jouse’ah alolhing lheh jing in ahi.
And Dauid behaued himselfe wisely in all his wayes: for the Lord was with him.
15 David lolhing nathu teho Saul in ajahdoh kit phat in, akicha cheh cheh jengtan ahi.
Wherefore when Saul saw that he was very wise, he was afrayde of him.
16 David in nasatah’a, kituptah’a gal alamkai jeh in, Israelte jouse le Judah nam mite jousen jong David chu angailu un, akipapi lheh jeng un ahi.
For all Israel and Iudah loued Dauid, because he went out and in before them.
17 Nikhat hi Saul in David komah, “Kachanu alenjo nu Merab khu naji dia pedinga kigongsa kahi. Ahinlah amasan nangma Pakaiya dinga gal hang mong nahi photchenna neipen,” ati. Ajeh chu Saul’in alunggel’ah, “Keima tah’in katha sangin, Philistine tetoh kidou ding in kisol henlang hinthat doh-uleh,” tia angaito ahi.
Then Saul sayd to Dauid, Beholde mine eldest daughter Merab, her I will giue thee to wife: onely be a valiant sonne vnto me, and fight the Lordes battels: for Saul thought, Mine hand shall not be vpon him, but the hand of the Philistims shalbe vpon him.
18 David in, “Kei koi kahiya chule kainsung mite hi Israel a ipi hiya, keima lengpa tupa kahiding ham? Chule kappa insung mite jong ima ahipoi” ati.
And Dauid answered Saul, What am I? and what is my life, or the family of my father in Israel, that I should be sonne in law to the King?
19 Hijeh chun, Merab toh akichen nading phat ahung lhun phat in, Saul in, Adriel kiti Meholath mipi toh Merab chu akichensah tan ahi.
Howbeit when Merab Sauls daughter should haue bene giuen to Dauid, she was giuen vnto Adriel a Meholathite to wife.
20 Ahinlah Saul chanu Michal chu David to akidei lhonin, hichu Saul in ajahdoh phat in akipah lheh jeng in ahi.
Then Michal Sauls daughter loued Dauid: and they shewed Saul, and the thing pleased him.
21 Hichun Saul in alunggel in, “Hiche Philistine te khutna athina dinga phat kijen chomkhat ahi,” atin ahinlah Saul anivei nan David koma chun, “Katupa nahi tei ding tai,” ati.
Therefore Saul said, I wil giue him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistims may bee against him. Wherefore Saul sayde to Dauid, Thou shalt this day be my sonne in law in the one of the twayne.
22 Saul in avaipote koma chun, David jah’a aseidiu thu apen, “Lengpan nadei lheh jenge, chule keiho jong pha kasalheh jeng uve, hijeh chun lengpa tupa nahi ding pha nasah louham?” tia aseipeh din ahil’e.
And Saul commanded his seruants, Speake with Dauid secretly, and say, Behold, ye King hath a fauour to thee, and all his seruants loue thee: be now therefore the Kings sonne in law.
23 Saul avaipoten hiche thu hochu David koma aseijun ahile, David in, “Kei mivaicha, insung lhasam le mi nahsahmo, lengpa tupa-a iti kapan thei ding ham? Tin anadonbut in ahi.
And Sauls seruantes spake these wordes in the eares of Dauid. And Dauid sayd, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be a Kings sonne in lawe, seeing that I am a poore man and of small reputation?
24 Chuin Saul mitehon hiche thu chu Saul koma asei doh phat un.
And then Sauls seruats brought him word againe, saying, Such wordes spake Dauid.
25 Saul in David koma asei diu ahil kit’in, “Lengpan moulah man dia adei chu ahile amelmate chunga phulah nadinga Philistine te chep jakhat tilou adang imacha angeh poi tin seipeh un,” ati. Ahinla Saul chun David chu Philisine te khutna thisah tei agot ahi.
And Saul sayd, This wise shall ye say to Dauid, The King desireth no dowrie, but an hundred foreskinnes of the Philistims, to bee auenged of the Kings enemies: for Saul thought to make Dauid fall into the handes of the Philistims.
26 Saul lengpa thil ngeh chu David in ajahdoh phat in kipahtah in asangtai, anikho kitep alhun masang in,
And when his seruantes tolde Dauid these wordes, it pleased Dauid well, to be the Kings sonne in law: and the dayes were not expired.
27 David amale amite akipatdoh un, Philistine te mi jani agathat’un ahi. Hitichun David in lengpan angaichat chu asuhbulhit peh in, chep kitan chu agapetan ahi. Chuin Saul in achanu Michal chu David ji ding in apetan ahi.
Afterwarde Dauid arose with his men, and went and slewe of the Philistims two hundreth men: and Dauid brought their foreskinnes, and they gaue them wholly to the King that hee might be the Kings sonne in lawe: therefore Saul gaue him Michal his daughter to wife.
28 Pakaiyin David aumpi ti kichen tah in ahetan, chule achanu Michal angailut dan ahetan ahi.
Then Saul sawe, and vnderstoode that the Lord was with Dauid, and that Michal the daughter of Saul loued him.
29 Saul in David chu agingcheh cheh jengtan, hijeh chun Saul chu ahinkho lhumkeiyin David din amelma ahijom jing jengtai.
Then Saul was more and more afrayde of Dauid, and Saul became alway Dauids enemie.
30 Philistine te sepaiten aphatseh leh ahin nokhum jing jengun, ahin David hatna achang jing jeng in, David min nasatah in akithang tan ahi.
And when the Princes of the Philistims went forth, at their going forth Dauid behaued himselfe more wisely then all the seruants of Saul, so that his name was much set by.
