1 Samuel 27
1 And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: there is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me to seek me any more within all the limits of Israel, and I shall escape out of his hand.
Ahinlah David amale ama akingaiton, “Nikhat leh Saul in tha tei ding eigot ahitai. Kabol thei pentah chu ahile Philistine gam'a jamdoh ing ting, Chutileh, Saul in Israel gamsunga eidal le le hi bei tante chuteng hichu kahoidoh na achaina hitante,” ati.
2 And David arose and passed over, he and the six hundred men that were with him, to Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
Hichun David in a sepai mi jagup akipuijin, Gath lengpa Moach chapa Achish ajoptai. David le a sepaite, chule ainsung mite, Gath muna Achish toh acheng khom tauve.
3 And David abode with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household; David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jizreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.
David chu aji teni, Ahinoam Jezreel a kon, chule Abigail, Nabal inneipi meithai Carmel’a kon hotoh hungkhom ahiuve.
4 And it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath; and he sought no more for him.
Saul in adel jamle le theilou nading in David Gath lengpa komah ajamlut tai tithu chu Saul in gangtah in ana jatan ahi.
5 And David said to Achish, If now I have found favour in thine eyes, let them give me a place in some country-town, that I may abide there; for why should thy servant abide in the royal city with thee?
Nikhat David in Achish komah, “Kachunga nalung alhaiya, nalungsetna kachanthei dinga ahile, hiche kholen ho lah’a hin kachenna thei ding mun khat neipen, ajeh chu ipi dinga nasohpa hi hiche lengpa khopi sunga nangtoh kachen khom khom thei ding ham?” ati.
6 And Achish gave him Ziklag that day; therefore Ziklag belongs to the kings of Judah to this day.
Hijeh chun Achish in hiche nikho chun Ziklag khopi chu David anape tai, hijeh a chu tuni changeija Ziklag khopi hi Juda lengte chang den ahitai.
7 And the time that David abode in the country of the Philistines was a year and four months.
Chule amaho Philistine mite lah’a kum khat le lha li ana chenguve.
8 And David and his men went up and made a raid upon the Geshurites, and the Gerzites, and the Amalekites: for those were of old the inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to Shur, and as far as the land of Egypt.
David le a sepai te ana kon touvun Geshur mite le Girzi mite chule Amalek mite aga chom uvin ahi. Hiche mite hohi Shur toh kinai, Egypt mite gamsunga ana chenglui ahitauve.
9 And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to Achish.
David in ana nokhum chun koimacha ana hinghoi pon ahi. Aman kelngoi, kelcha, bong, sangan, sa-ngong sao ana kikaiyin, chule ponho analan, Achish lengpa kom ana lhut in ahi.
10 So Achish said, Have ye not made a raid to-day? And David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites.
Achish in, “Tuchung koipen naga chom hitam?” tin anadongin ahile David in, “Juda gam lhanglam sang, Jerahmeel gamsung, Ken mite chenna gamsung dung pou kaga chom ahi,” ati.
11 And David left neither man nor woman alive, to bring [them] to Gath, for he said, Lest they should tell of us, saying, So did David. And such was his custom as long as he abode in the country of the Philistines.
David chun koimacha numei pasal khen beiyin ana thatgam jin, ama le amite natoh dol chu Gath khoa gaseidoh ding aumjipoi. Philistine miho lah’a aum sunga, avel vella hichehi abol jing kei ahi.
12 And Achish trusted David, saying, He has made himself utterly odious among his people Israel; and he shall be my servant for ever.
Achish chun David chu atahsan jeh chun, “Tuvang hin Israel miten David hi hatah in doudal tauvin tin, kakoma uma aimatih chana kakin abol ding hita hi,” tin ana gel’e.
