1 Samuel 30
1 And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid upon the South, and upon Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
David neh a hlang rhoek loh a thum hnin ah Ziklag a pha uh. Te vaengah Amalek loh tuithim neh Ziklag ah cu uh. Te phoeiah Ziklag te a tloek uh tih hmai neh a hoeh uh.
2 and had taken captive the women and all that were therein, both small and great; they slew not any, but carried them off, and went their way.
Te vaengah a khuikah huta rhoek te tanoe kangham la a kol uh. Hlang tah a duek sak muehla a vai uh tih a longpuei ah cet uh.
3 And when David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
Tedae David neh a hlang rhoek te khopuei la ha pawk uh vaengah hmai ah tarha ana hoeh tih a yuu a canu neh a oila te ana sol pauh.
4 Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
Te dongah David neh amah taengkah pilnam loh a ol a huel tih rhap uh. Te vaengah a khuikah thadueng a bawt hil rhap uh.
5 And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
David yuu rhoi Jezreel Ahinoam neh Karmel Nabal yuu Abigal khaw a khuen uh.
6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.
Pilnam pum loh amah ca amah ca ham neh a tanu rhoek ham a hinglu te rhip a phaep uh. Te dongah amah te dae ham te pilnam loh a thui coeng dongah David loh puen a cak tangkik. Tedae David tah BOEIPA a Pathen dongah ni a pangtung.
7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech: 'I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod.' And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
Te phoeiah David loh Ahimelek capa, khosoih Abiathar taengah, “Hnisui te kai taengla hang khuen dae,” a ti nah tih Abiathar loh hnisui te David taengla a khuen pah.
8 And David inquired of the LORD, saying: 'Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them?' And He answered him: 'Pursue; for thou shalt surely overtake them, and shalt without fail recover all.'
David loh BOEIPA te a dawt tih, “Caem hnukah he ka hloem koinih ka kae aya?,” a ti nah hatah, “Hloem, na kae rhoe na kae vetih na huul rhoe na huul bitni,” a ti nah.
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.
Te dongah David neh amah taengkah hlang ya rhuk loh cet uh. Tedae Besor soklong a pha uh vaengah aka coih rhoek loh uelh uh.
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
Te dongah David amah neh hlang ya li loh a hloem uh dae Besor soklong a poeng uh lamkah aka tawn hlang yahnih tah paa uh.
11 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they gave him water to drink;
Te vaengah lohma li ah Egypt hlang te a hmuh uh tih David taengla a khuen uh. Te phoeiah anih te buh a paek uh tih a caak phoeiah tui a tul uh.
12 and they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins; and when he had eaten, his spirit came back to him; for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
Te phoeiah anih te thaidae thaidae phaklung pakhat neh, misur rhae panit a paek uh. Anih te khothaih hninthum neh khoyin hninthum buh ca pawt tih tui a ok pawt dongah tekah te a caak daengah ni a dawn a sai pah pueng.
13 And David said unto him: 'To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou?' And he said: 'I am a young Egyptian, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
Anih te David loh, “Nang ulae? Nang me lamkah lae?” a ti nah vaengah, “Kai tah Amalek hlang kah sal, Egypt ca dae ni, hnin thum ka tloh dongah ka boei loh n'hnoo.
14 We made a raid upon the South of the Cherethites, and upon that which belongeth to Judah, and upon the South of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.'
Kaimih loh Kerethi tuithim, Judah neh Kaleb tuithim te ka muk uh tih Ziklag te hmai neh ka hoeh uh,” a ti nah.
15 And David said to him: 'Wilt thou bring me down to this troop?' And he said: 'Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this troop.'
Te dongah anih te David loh, “Tekah caem taengla kai nan suntlak puei aya?” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Kai nan duek sak ham neh ka boeipa kut ah kai nan det pawt ham mah, Pathen taengah kai hamla toemngam lamtah nang te caem taengla kan suntlak puei bitni,” a ti nah.
16 And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad over all the ground, eating and drinking, and feasting, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
Tedae anih a suntlak vaengah tah Philisti kho lamkah neh Judah kho lamkah kutbuem boeih te muep a loh uh coeng dongah diklai hman boeih ah aka ca, aka o neh aka lam rhoek te khawk ana yaal uh.
17 And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day; and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, who rode upon camels and fled.
Amih te David loh hlaemhmah lamloh a vuen kholaeh duela a ngawn. Te dongah amih lamkah hlang tah loeih pawh. Kalauk dongah aka ngol camoe hlang ya li bueng rhaelrham uh.
18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; and David rescued his two wives.
Te daengah Amalek kah a loh rhoek te David loh boeih a lat tih a yuu rhoi te khaw David loh a lat.
19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them; David brought back all.
Te vaengah amih te tanoe kangham, capa, canu khaw kutbuem khaw a hmaai moenih. Amih lamkah a loh uh boeih te David loh boeih a mael puei.
20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other cattle, and said: 'This is David's spoil.'
Te vaengah David loh boiva neh saelhung te boeih a loh tih a hmai la a vai uh. Te vaengah, “Boiva he David kah kutbuem ni he,” a ti uh.
21 And David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to abide at the brook Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him; and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
Te vaengah David taengla hlang yahnih ha pawk tih a tawn doela David hnuk ah cet uh. Amih tah Besor soklong ah a om sak tih David doe ham neh anih taengkah pilnam te doe hamla ha pawk uh. Te dongah David te pilnam taengla thoeih tih amih te sading la a voek.
22 Then answered all the wicked men and base fellows, of those that went with David, and said: 'Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.'
Tedae David hnuk aka vai hlang rhoek khuikah boethae neh aka muen hlang boeih loh a doo uh vaengah, “Kai taengah aka pongpa pawt tah kutbuem n'lat he amih taengla pae boel saeh. A yuu a ca rhoek te tah rhip hmaithawn uh saeh lamtah cet uh saeh,” a ti uh.
23 Then said David: 'Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given unto us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
Tedae David loh, “Ka manuca rhoek, te tlam te saii uh boeh. BOEIPA loh mamih taengla m'paek coeng te tah mamih loh ngaithuen sih. Te dongah ni mamih aka cuuk thil caem te mamih kut ah m'paek.
24 And who will hearken unto you in this matter? for as is the share of him that goeth down to the battle, so shall be the share of him that tarrieth by the baggage; they shall share alike.'
Caemtloek la aka suntla rhoek kah hamsum la na ti ol te u long a hnatun eh? Te dongah hnopai taengah aka om rhoek khaw hamsum la yen tael uh thae saeh,” a ti nah.
25 And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.
Te dongah te khohnin lamkah a so hang ah tah tekah ol te oltlueh neh laitloeknah la a saii tih tihnin due Israel ham a om pah.
26 And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying: 'Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD';
David te Ziklag la a pha vaengah kutbuem te Judah kah a hamca rhoek taeng neh a hui rhoek taengla a pat tih, “BOEIPA thunkha rhoek kah kutbuem khui lamkah nangmih ham yoethennah ni he ne,” a ti nah.
27 to them that were in Beth-el, and to them that were in Ramoth of the South, and to them that were in Jattir;
Te rhoek te Bethel ah, tuithim Ramath neh Jattir ah,
28 and to them that were in Aroer, and to them that were in Siphmoth, and to them that were in Eshtemoa;
