< 1 Samuel 22 >

1 Hitichun David in Gath adalhan Adullama songko sungah akisel’in ahi. Asopite le apa insung mite jousen ajahphat un ahengah achesuh un ahi.
David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave of Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father’s house heard it, they went down thither to him.
2 Chuin bol hesoh thoh, aleiba, alung genthei jouse le lunglhai louna jousen David chu ahin bel un ahile amaho chu jali tobang ahung lhing’un, David chu amaho lamkaiyin apangtan ahi.
And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.
3 Chujouvin David Moab gam'a Mizpeh kho’ah achen, hia chun aman lengpa jah’a, “Pathen in kachunga ipi abol ding kahet toh masangin, nakomah kanu le kapa nangho koma achenthei nadin neiphal peh in,” tin ngehna aneiyin ahi.
And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, [and be] with you, till I know what God will do for me.
4 Hitichun David songko sunga aum sungsen, anule apa chu Moab lengpa komah aum lhone.
And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the stronghold.
5 Nikhat Gad themgao pan David koma, “Songko sungah umden hih’in naum’na dalhan lang Judah gam lang’ah chetan,” ati. Hichun David akipatdoh paiyin Hareth gamsung ajon tan ahi.
And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the stronghold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hereth.
6 Judah gamsung ahunglut taiti thusoh Saul in ana jatan ahi. Hiche pettah’a chu Saul lengpa chu Gibeah khoa huisum phung noi khat’a ana toupet ahin, akhutah tengcha akichoiya, gal lamkailen ho akimvel’a tou uva ahi.
And Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him: now Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk-tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him.
7 Hiche thusoh ajah phat chun, Saul chun alamkai lenho masang ah hatah in asamin, “Ngaitem’un Benjamin miteho! David in nabonchauva loule lengpilei pedia kitem em? Asepaite lamkaiya pansah nadia kitem em?” ati.
And Saul said unto his servants that stood about him, Hear now, ye Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds,
8 “Hicheho jeh’a hi nanghon keima tha nadia lungthim nanei u ham? Kachapan Jesse chapatoh kitepna aneilhon chun, koimachan seipeh ding neigo pouve, keima dingin jong neigelkhoh peh pouve. Phaten kingai touvin! Kachapa tah injong eitha nading in atilkhou vin, eichanglhi lelen, ahinlah koimachan jong neiseipeh pouve,” ati.
that all of you have conspired against me, and there is none that discloseth to me when my son maketh a league with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or discloseth unto me that my son hath stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
9 Chutahchun Doeg kiti Edom mipa chu Saul toh anading khom lhonin, “Keiman Nob’a kana umlaiyin Jesse chapa chu ahungin, Ahitub chapa Ahimelech thempupa toh akihoulim lhon jong kamui,” ati.
Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
10 Chule Ahimelech chun David din Pakai adohpeh’in chujongle nehding jong aluipeh in, Philistine mihatpa Goliath chemjam jong apei,” ati.
And he inquired of Jehovah for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.
11 Chuin Saul lengpan jong Ahitub chapa Ahimelech le ainkote chule Nob gamsung’a thempu kin bol jouse manding in mi asoltan ahi.
Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests that were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king.
12 Aman a cheho ahung lhun phat’un, Saul’in lunghang tah’in, “Ahitub chapa ngaijin! Hichun Ahimelech in jong, “Lengpa ipi thu hitam?” tin adongin ahi.
And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord.
13 Saul in, “Ipijeh’a nangle Jesse chapan keidou na’a na natoh lhon ham? Ipijeh’a nehding le chemjam napeh ham? Ipijeh’a ama dinga Pathen koma nadohpeh ham? Ipijeh’a kei tha nadinga natilkhou ham? Tua eidouva, kei that dia chang pang jing ahi,” ati.
And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
14 Ahimelech in adonbut in, “Ahinlah kapu, nasohte holah’a hi koi pentah hi natupa David banga kitah um am? David chu navengtup holah’a lamkai hiya chule leng inpi sung’a mitin in ajapentah hilou ham?” ati.
Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who among all thy servants is so faithful as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, and is taken into thy council, and is honorable in thy house?
15 “Ken ama dinga Pathen henga thudoh kabolpeh hi tuchunga hi apatna jong ahi tapoi. Ahinlah hiche chung change hin lengpan kei le kainsung mite neingoh thei pouvin te ajeh chu nang douna le tha nadia thil kigong ho hi khat’a khatcha kahepha poi.” Ati.
Have I to-day begun to inquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king impute anything unto his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for thy servant knoweth nothing of all this, less or more.
16 Hiche tah chun lengpan jong Ahimelech jah ah, “Nathi teitei ding ahi, nangjong na insung mite jouse jong nabonchauva nathi teitei diu ahi,” tin ahohsal tai.
And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father’s house.
17 Chule lengpan akoma ding ama ngah’a pang sepai pa jah’a chun, “Pakai thempuho hi that gam jengin, ijeh-inem itile, amaho jong hi David toh kikhutjop cheh ahiuve ajeh chu David ajamtai ti ahesoh keijun, ahinlah eiseipeh pouve!” ati. Ahinlah Saul sepaite ho chun Pakai thempuho tha jeng ding chu akhut alhang ngam tapouvin ahi.
And the king said unto the guard that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of Jehovah; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and did not disclose it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of Jehovah.
18 Hichun lengpan Doeg jah’a, “Nangin bol jeng in,” atile, Edom mipa Doeg chun hiche nikho chun thempu vona kivon Pakai thempu som get le nga anathat gam’in ahi.
And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and he slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen ephod.
19 Chuin thempuho chenna Nob’ah achen, thempu ho insung mit jouse abouchauvin numeile pasal, chapangle nao noicheplai, bongchal jouse le sangante, kekngoiho geijin athatgam hel tan ahi.
And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen and asses and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
20 Ahin Ahimelech chapate lah’a amin Abiathar kitipa bouseh chu ajamdoh man’in David komah anajamlut tai.
And one of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
21 Saul in Pakai thempu jouse athagam chu Abiathar in David komah aseipeh tai.
And Abiathar told David that Saul had slain Jehovah’s priests.
22 Hichun David in jong Abiathar jah ah, “Edom mipa Doeg kamu nia patna chu Saul jah-a aseitei tei ding kahetsa ahitai, keiman napa insung mite aboncha kathilosah ahitai.
And David said unto Abiathar, I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have occasioned [the death] of all the persons of thy father’s house.
23 Keima koma um'in, kicha hih’in, keiman kahinkho phal ngam in navengbit nange, ajeh chu nangma thadinga naholpan, keijong tha dinga eihol ahi,” tin aseipeh tan ahi.
Abide thou with me, fear not; for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: for with me thou shalt be in safeguard.
