1 Samuel 20
1 David chu Ramah gam'a Naioth a konin ajamdoh’in, Jonathan kom ajonin, “Ipi kabol’a, Ipi kabol khel hitam? Itobang gitlouna ipi um’a napan tha dinga eihol le le ham?” ati.
And Dauid fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and sayd before Ionathan, What haue I done? what is mine iniquitie? and what sinne haue I committed before thy father, that he seeketh my life?
2 Jonathan in, “Hichu dihlou ahi, nangma thipon nate, abol ding jouse thilneo hihen lang thil len hijongleh kei hetlouvin ima abolji poi, eihetsah jinai. Kapan hitobang thil hohi, kakoma aselguh louhel ding ahi,” tin ana nelkal in ahi.
And he sayde vnto him, God forbid, thou shalt not die: beholde, my father will do nothing great nor small, but he will shewe it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? he will not doe it.
3 Chuin David in Jonathan masang ah akihahsellin, “Napan iki golngai lhon hi kichentah’a ahetsoh kei ahi, hijeh chun amale ama akihouvin, Jonathan hetsah da tange, ipibolla alung kasuhnat ding ham? Ahinlah hingjing Pakai le nangma min pana kasei ahi keima le thina kikah hi kal khat seh bou uma ahi!” ati.
And Dauid sware againe and sayd, Thy father knoweth that I haue found grace in thine eyes: therefore he thinketh, Ionathan shall not knowe it, lest he be sorie: but in deede, as the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, there is but a step betweene me and death.
4 Jonathan in, “Ipi ti kakithopi thei ding ham neiseipeh in,” ati.
Then said Ionathan vnto Dauid, Whatsoeuer thy soule requireth, that I wil do vnto thee.
5 David in adonbut in, “Jing nikho hi lhathah kut ahin, lengpa to ankong umkhom dingdol kahi, ahin keima jing nikho tengle loulaiya kakisela hichea chu nithum chan na nilhah tokah’a kaumden ding ahi,” ati.
And Dauid said vnto Ionathan, Behold, to morowe is the first day of the moneth, and I shoulde sit with the King at meate: but let me goe, that I may hide my selfe in the fieldes vnto the third day at euen.
6 “Napan hoiya che ham tia nahin doh’a ahileh, Bethlehem ain’ah kumseh kilhaina bol dingin kakom ah phalna athum’in ache’e tin seipeh in,” ati.
If thy father make mention of me, then say, Dauid asked leaue of me, that he might goe to Beth-lehem to his owne citie: for there is a yeerely sacrifice for all that familie.
7 “Aman ‘Aphai!’ atia ahileh, thu anome ti nahet ding ahi. Ahinlah alung ahanna alung alhaso khah’a ahile, eithanom ahi ti nahet ding ahi.
And if he say thus, It is well, thy seruant shall haue peace: but if he be angrie, be sure that wickednesse is concluded of him.
8 Lungset tah in hiti chun neibolpeh in, thengsel’a kahenga Pakai ang’a nakitepna nit’in. amavang napa douna a themmo kahile nangmatah’in neithat jengin. Ahinlah nei joulhep hih beh in,” ati.
So shalt thou shew mercy vnto thy seruant: for thou hast ioyned thy seruant into a couenant of the Lord with thee, and if there be in me iniquitie, slay thou me: for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?
9 Jonathan in, “Hitobang chu agel in geldan, kapan chutobang’a nangma tha nading lunggel neocha hijongle anei mong’a ahile, nang kahin mahetsah tei ding ahi,” ati.
And Ionathan answered, God keepe that from thee: for if I knewe that wickednesse were concluded of my father to come vpon thee, would not I tell it thee?
10 Chuin David in, “Napa alunghang’e ahiloule alunghang poi tichu ken iti kahet thei ding ham?” tin adong in ahi.
Then said Dauid to Ionathan, Who shall tell me? how shall I knowe, if thy father answere thee cruelly?
11 Jonathan in adonbut’in, “Hungin loulai langa khun gapotdoh hite,” ati. Chule polam’ah akijotdoh khom lhonin ahi.
And Ionathan sayde to Dauid, Come and let vs goe out into the fielde: and they twaine went out into the fielde.
12 Chuti chun Jonathan in David komah, “Pakai Israel Pathen chu ahettohsah hijeng hen! Keiman jing tuphat don ahilouleh nithum joutengle, kappa dongin katin, nachung alungdam nah le thu kahin thot ding,
Then Ionathan sayde to Dauid, O Lord God of Israel, when I haue groped my fathers minde to morow at this time, or within this three dayes, and if it be well with Dauid, and I then send not vnto thee, and shewe it thee,
13 “Ahinlah ijem tia kappa alunghan’a nangma tha tei ding nagot’a, nangma na hindohtei tei nadinga keiman nahenga kaseipeh masat’a kasolmang lou poupouva ahileh Pakaiyin Jonathan kiti keima hi eibolsejo hen ahilou jongle eithat jeng hen. Pakaiyin kapa ana umpi bangin nang jong naumpi hen,” ati.
The Lord doe so and much more vnto Ionathan: but if my father haue minde to doe thee euill, I will shew thee also, and sende thee away, that thou mayest goe in peace: and the Lord be with thee as he hath bene with my father.
14 “Neingailut monga ahileh, kahinkho aumlai sungsen Pakai ngailutna sangtah in nei ngailun. Ahinlah kathia ahileh,
Likewise I require not whiles I liue: for I dout not but thou wilt shew me the mercy of the Lord, that I die not.
15 Kainsung mite din tahsan umtah ngailutna sangtah in hin ngailun chule Pakaiyin nagalmite jouse jong leiset a konin suhmang gamkei hen,” ati.
But I require that thou cut not off thy mercie from mine house for euer: no, not when the Lord hath destroyed the enemies of Dauid, euery one from the earth.
16 Hijeh chun Jonathan in David toh kitepna khat asemin, “Pakaiyin nagalmite jouse asugam keihen!” ati.
So Ionathan made a bond with the house of Dauid, saying, Let the Lord require it at the hands of Dauids enemies.
17 Chule Jonathan in David chu ama aki ngailut bang banga angailut jeh chun, David in jong angailut din akitepsah kit tan ahi.
And againe Ionathan sware vnto Dauid, because he loued him (for he loued him as his owne soule)
18 Chuin Jonathan in, “Jing nikho le lhathah kut kimang ding ahin, natouna dokhang a-on jeh’a nakiholmo ding ahi,” ati.
Then said Ionathan to him, To morowe is the first day of the moneth: and thou shalt be looked for, for thy place shalbe emptie.
19 “Athaini nilhah lam leh, tumasanga nakiselji na mun songpi pang mama’a chun che in lang gakisel tan.
Therefore thou shalt hide thy selfe three dayes, then thou shalt goe downe quickely and come to the place where thou diddest hide thy selfe, when this matter was in hand, and shalt remayne by the stone Ezel.
20 Chule keima kahungdoh’a doikhat neibanga, thalchang thum hiche panga chu kahinkap ding ahi,” ati.
And I will shoote three arrowes on the side thereof, as though I shot at a marke.
21 “Chule chapang khat thal chang ho hol ding’a kahinsol ding ahi. Chule chapangpa jah’a, ‘Ven, thalchang ho chu nasihlam panga naume,’ tia kasei najah a ahile, hing jing Pakai mina kasei ahi, abonchan aphasoh keiye, imacha hahsatna aumpoi.
And after I wil sende a boy, saying, Goe, seeke the arrowes. If I say vnto the boy, See, the arrowes are on this side thee, bring them, and come thou: for it is well with thee and no hurt, as the Lord liueth.
22 Amavang keiman amajah’a, “Gamla jepmah chen, thal chang chu nakhel lamah aume, katia ahile, nalampia gangtah’in che jeng in, ajeh chu Pakaiyin nasolmang ahi,” ti hetna ahi,” ati.
But if I say thus vnto the boy, Behold, the arrowes are beyonde thee, goe thy way: for the Lord hath sent thee away.
23 “Chule Pakai ahettohsah ahijeh'in, ikitepna vang chu Pakaiyin tonsot geiya einitsah teitei lhon hen,” ati
As touching the thing which thou and I haue spoken of, beholde, the Lord be betweene thee and me for euer.
24 Hitichun David chu loulaiyah akisellin, chule lhathah kut kiman na ahunglhun phat in, Lengpa chu, anne dingin atou lhatan ahi.
So Dauid hid him selfe in the field: and when the first day of the moneth came, the King sate to eate meate.
25 Chule lengpa chu nidanga bangin bangkoma touna chunga chun atouvin ahi. Jonathan toh akimai ngatton, chule Abner asih-lang ah atouve. Ahin David touna chu a-ongtai.
And the King sate, as at other times vpon his seate, euen vpon his seate by the wall: and Ionathan arose, and Abner sate by Sauls side, but Dauids place was emptie.
26 Ahinlah Saul in hicheni chun imacha aseipoi, ajeh chu ama chunga thil thenglou khattou David asuhboh hinte, tia alunggel ahi.
And Saul sayde nothing that day: for hee thought, Some thing hath befallen him, though he were cleane, or els becaus he was not purified.
27 Ahinlah, ajinga jong David touna a-on kit phat in, Saul in Jonathan jah’a, “Ipi jeh’a Jesse chapa janhia jong tunia jong hunglou hitam?” tin adongtai.
But on the morowe which was the second day of the moneth, Dauids place was emptie againe: and Saul sayde vnto Ionathan his sonne, Wherefore commeth not the sonne of Ishai to meate, neither yesterday nor to day?
28 Jonathan in, “David in Bethlehem a cheding in hatah in kakoma phalna athumin,
And Ionathan answered vnto Saul, Dauid required of me, that he might goe to Beth-lehem.
29 Aman, ‘Lungset tah in, neichesah in, ajeh chu kainsung miten kumseh a kho sunga gan kilhaina kaneidiu ahin, chule kasopi te hotoh jong kakimupi nom’e, tin ataovin ahi. Hijeh a chu lengpa dokhang’a atouna ong’ah ahi,” atin ahi.
For he sayde, Let me goe, I pray thee: for our familie offreth a sacrifice in the citie, and my brother hath sent for me: therfore now if I haue found fauour in thine eyes, let me goe, I pray thee, and see my brethren: this is the cause that he commeth not vnto the Kings table.
30 Chuin Jonathan chunga Saul alunghang behseh jengin, “Numei chaveinu chapa!” tin lunghang tah’in ahousen ahi. “Nalunggel hohi ken kahetlouva nagel ham? Nakhella lenga natungot ham? Nangma le nanu jumso pa,” ati.
Then was Saul angrie with Ionathan, and sayde vnto him, Thou sonne of the wicked rebellious woman, doe not I know, that thou hast chosen the sonne of Ishai to thy confusion, and to the confusion and shame of thy mother?
31 “Jesse chapa David ahinlai sungsen, nang leng’in pang theipon nate. Tun chenlang gaholdoh in katha ding ahi,” ati.
For as long as the sonne of Ishai liueth vpon the earth, thou shalt not be stablished, nor thy kingdome: wherefore now send and fet him vnto me, for he shall surely die.
32 Jonathan in, “Ipijeh’a kithat ding ham? Aman ipi abolset ham?” tin apa adongin ahi.
And Ionathan answered vnto Saul his father, and said vnto him, Wherefore shall he die? what hath he done?
33 Chuin Saul in achapa Jonathan chu thadingin tengchan akho jeng in ahi. Hichea kon chun Jonathan in jong apan David thading’a agot mong ahi tichu ahedoh tai.
And Saul cast a speare at him to hit him, whereby Ionathan knew, that it was determined of his father to slay Dauid.
34 Hichun Jonathan chu lunghang tah’in dokhang akonin akipatdoh in, apan ajachat sah behseh jeh chun chuche kut ni ni lhin nichun an ane tapoi, David chu alungkhampi lheh tan ahi.
So Ionathan arose from the table in a great anger, and did eate no meate the seconde day of the moneth: for he was sorie for Dauid, and because his father had reuiled him.
35 Ajing jingkah in David toh akitepna bangin, Jonathan chu chapang khat toh apotdoh lhon in, loujaova chun ache lhontai.
On the next morning therefore Ionathan than went out into the fielde, at the time appoynted with Dauid, and a litle boy with him.
36 Chuin aman chapangpa jah’a chun “ka kapgot thalchang hohi gaholdoh in,” ati. Chuin chapangpa chu alhaijel in ahile, Jonathan in akal langpeh a thalchang chu akap’in ahi.
And he saide vnto his boy, Runne now, seeke the arrowes which I shoote, and as the boy ran, he shot an arrowe beyond him.
37 Chuin chapangpa chu Jonathan in akapdoh thalchang kom aphah phat ding konin, Jonathan in chapangpa jah-a, “Thalchang chu akal langpeh’ah achubouve,” atin ahi.
And when the boy was come to the place where the arrowe was that Ionathan had shot, Ionathan cryed after the boy, and sayde, Is not the arrowe beyond thee?
38 Jonathanin chapangpa chu asamin, “Hikoma chun dingden hih in, agang gangin hinchoi loiyin,” ati. Chuin chapangpa chun thalchangho chu achom khomin, apu henga ahungtai.
And Ionathan cryed after the boy, Make speede, haste and stand not still: and Ionathans boy gathered vp the arrowes, and came to his master,
39 Ahinlah chapangpa chun imacha ahepon, Jonathan le David in bou thil kibolho chu ahet lhon ahi.
But the boy knewe nothing: onely Ionathan and Dauid knew the matter.
40 Chuin Jonathan in amanchah ho chu chapangpa apen, chenlang khopi sungah anapolut in tin asoltai.
Then Ionathan gaue his bowe and arrowes vnto the boy that was with him, and sayd vnto him, Goe, carrie them into the citie.
41 Chuin chapangpa apotdoh doh in, songlhuh pang’a akiselna a konin David chu ahung potdoh'in, thumveijen tollah amai asulut in Jonathan maiyah akunin, anilhon in amitlhipum in akikolto lhonin ana kivailhah lhon tai. Hichu Jonathan sangin David apona dehset in ahi.
Assoone as the boy was gone, Dauid arose out of a place that was towarde the South, and fel on his face to the ground, and bowed him selfe three times: and they kissed one another, and wept both twaine, till Dauid exceeded.
42 Jonathan in David komah, “Lungmong’in chetan, Pakai mina thengsel’a ikihahsel lhon nang le kei, na chilhahte le keiya din, ikitepna chu tonsot geiyin Pakaiyin eikoi jing u hen,” ati. Hichun David in adalhan, chule Jonathan jong khopi lam’ah akile kittai.
Therefore Ionathan said to Dauid, Goe in peace: that which we haue sworne both of vs in the Name of the Lord, saying, The Lord be betweene me and thee, and betweene my seede and betweene thy seede, let it stand for euer. And he arose and departed, and Ionathan went into the citie.
