1 Samuel 18
1 Now after David's talk with Saul was ended, the soul of Jonathan was joined with the soul of David, and David became as dear to him as his very life.
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.
2 And that day Saul took David and would not let him go back to his father's house.
Hichenia kipat chun Saul in David akomah akikoi jingtan ainlamah akilesah kit tapon ahi.
3 Then Jonathan and David made an agreement together, because of Jonathan's love for David.
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.
4 And Jonathan took off the robe he had on and gave it to David, with all his military dress, even to his sword and his bow and the band round his body.
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.
5 And David went wherever Saul sent him, and did wisely: and Saul put him at the head of his men of war, and this was pleasing to all the people as well as to Saul's servants.
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.
6 Now on their way, when David came back after the destruction of the Philistine, the women came out of all the towns of Israel, with songs and dances, meeting David with melody and joy and instruments of music.
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.
7 And the women, answering one another in their song, said, Saul has put to death his thousands and David his tens of thousands.
Vailhun na’a alasah’u chu hiche ahi, “Saul in asang asangin athat in, David in asangsomasangsom in athat’e!” tin alachoiyun ahi.
8 And Saul was very angry and this saying was unpleasing to him; and he said, They have given David credit for tens of thousands, and to me for only thousands: what more is there for him but the kingdom?
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.
9 And from that day Saul was looking with envy on David.
Hijeh chun, hichenia kipat chun, Saul in David chu thangthipna mitvet in avepan tan ahi.
10 Now on the day after, an evil spirit from God came on Saul with great force and he was acting like a prophet among the men of his house, while David was making music for him, as he did day by day: and Saul had his spear in his hand.
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.
11 And Saul, balancing the spear in his hand, said, I will give David a blow, pinning him to the wall. And David got away from him twice.
Chule hetmanlouvin, tengchan David chu akhon ahi, bangtoh khobeh ding agot ahin, ahinlah David in ana otdoh in ahi.
12 And Saul went in fear of David, because the Lord was with David and had gone away from Saul.
Pathen in Saul adlhah’a David aumpi jeh chun Saul in Daivd chu akichalheh jengtan ahi.
13 So Saul sent him away, and made him a captain over a thousand; and he went about his business before the people.
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.
14 And in all his undertakings David did wisely; and the Lord was with him.
Chuin David Pakaiyin aumpi jeh chun imalam jouse’ah alolhing lheh jing in ahi.
15 And when Saul saw how wisely he did, he was in fear of him.
David lolhing nathu teho Saul in ajahdoh kit phat in, akicha cheh cheh jengtan ahi.
16 But David was loved by all Israel and Judah, for he went out and came in before them.
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.
17 And Saul said to David, Here is my oldest daughter Merab, whom I will give you for your wife: only be strong for me, fighting in the Lord's wars. For Saul said, Let it not be through me that his fate comes to him, but through the Philistines.
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.
18 And David said to Saul, Who am I, and what is my father's family in Israel, that I am to be son-in-law to the king?
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.
19 But when the time came to give Merab, Saul's daughter, to David, she was given to Adriel of Meholath.
Hijeh chun, Merab toh akichen nading phat ahung lhun phat in, Saul in, Adriel kiti Meholath mipi toh Merab chu akichensah tan ahi.
20 And Saul's daughter Michal was in love with David: and Saul had word of it and was pleased.
Ahinlah Saul chanu Michal chu David to akidei lhonin, hichu Saul in ajahdoh phat in akipah lheh jeng in ahi.
21 And Saul said, I will give her to him, so that she may be a cause of danger to him, and so that the hands of the Philistines may be against him. So Saul said to David, Today you are to become my son-in-law for the second time.
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.
22 And Saul gave his servants orders saying, Have talk with David secretly and say to him, See how the king has delight in you, and how you are loved by all his servants: then be the king's son-in-law.
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.
23 And Saul's servants said these things to David. And David said, Does it seem to you a small thing to be the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, of no great name?
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.
24 And the servants of Saul gave him an account of what David had said.
Chuin Saul mitehon hiche thu chu Saul koma asei doh phat un.
25 And Saul said, Then say to David, The king has no desire for any bride-price, but only for the private parts of a hundred Philistines so that the king may get the better of his haters. But it was in Saul's mind that David might come to his end by the hands of the Philistines.
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.
26 And when his servants said these words to David, he was well pleased to be the son-in-law of the king. And the days were still not past.
Saul lengpa thil ngeh chu David in ajahdoh phat in kipahtah in asangtai, anikho kitep alhun masang in,
27 So David and his men got up and went, and put to death two hundred of the Philistines; and David took their private parts and gave the full number of them to the king, so that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him his daughter Michal for his wife.
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.
28 And it was clear to Saul that the Lord was with David; and he was loved by all Israel.
Pakaiyin David aumpi ti kichen tah in ahetan, chule achanu Michal angailut dan ahetan ahi.
29 And Saul's fear of David became all the greater, and he went on hating him, day by day.
Saul in David chu agingcheh cheh jengtan, hijeh chun Saul chu ahinkho lhumkeiyin David din amelma ahijom jing jengtai.
30 Then the rulers of the Philistines went out to war: and whenever they went out, David did more wisely than all the other servants of Saul, so that his name became greatly honoured.
Philistine te sepaiten aphatseh leh ahin nokhum jing jengun, ahin David hatna achang jing jeng in, David min nasatah in akithang tan ahi.
