1 Samuel 25
1 And Samuel died, and all Israel were gathered together, and made lamentation for him, and buried him within his own house, in Ramah, —and David arose and went down into the wilderness of Maon.
Tun Samuel athitan ahile Israel mite jouse avui dingin ahung kikhom un, athilong chu a-op uvin, Ramah khoa a-inah avui tauvin ahi. Hichun David chu Maon gamthip ah akumsuh tan ahi.
2 Now there was, a man, in Maon, whose cattle were in Carmel, and, the man, was exceeding great, and, he, had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats, —and so it was, that he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
Maon a kon neile gou tampi neiyah mihaothei tah khat Carmel khopia kiveina bol mi khat aum in ahi. Amachun kelngoi sang thum chule kelcha sangkhat aneiyin ahi chule hiche phatlai chu kelmulvo phatlai ahi.
3 Now, the name of the man, was Nabal, and, the name of his wife, Abigail, —and, the woman, was of good understanding, and of beautiful figure, —but, the man, was unfeeling and of evil practices, and he was a Calebite.
Hiche mipa min chu Nabal akitin, ajinu min chu Abigail akitin ahi, Ajinu chu numei chingtah ahin, thil umdan hekhen themtah jong ahin, amel jong melhoi tah ahi. Ajipa vang chu Caleb phungmi, umdan, chondan helou mi ahin, agiloutah a chon jeng ahi.
4 So then David heard in the wilderness, —that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
Nabal kitipa hin kelngoi avah’e ti hi David in ahedoh tan ahi.
5 David, therefore, sent ten young men, —and David said unto the young men, —Go up to Carmel, and enter in unto Nabal, and ye shall ask him, in my name, of his welfare;
Hijeh chun David in gollhang somkhat asolin Nabal henga thuthot le salam gabol din asol in ahi.
6 and say thus—Long life to thee! Mayest, thou, prosper, And, thy household, prosper, And, all that thou hast, prosper!
Hichun gollhangho chun, “Chamna le khantouna nangle na insunga chule naneile nanga chengse chunga umhen!” atiuvin ahi.
7 Now, therefore, have I heard that thou hast shearers, —Well, the shepherds that thou hast, have been with us, we reproached them not, neither missed they, anything, all the days they were in Carmel.
“Nangman kelngoi mulvou ding miho chu keiho Carmel koma nakoiye ti kajan, keihon suh gentheina ima kanei pouve chule amahoa kon in jong ima guhle lah kanei pouve.
8 Ask thy young men, that they may tell thee, that so my young men may find favour in thine eyes, for, on a good day, have we come! Give, I pray thee, what thy hand findeth, to thy servants, and to thy son, to David!
Namiteho dong jong le chun adihtah chu naseipeh nauvinte. Golvah nikho khatle kahung diu ahin, kipah tah a neisan diu David in adeiye. Lungset tah in napeh thei thei neipeuvin, nalhacha keiho le nagol ngaitah keima David min in,” ati.
9 So David’s young men came, and spake unto Nabal, according to all these words, in the name of David, —and waited.
David gollhangho chun David minin hicheng chu Nabal henga alhut uvin chule amahon Nabal donbutna angahuvin ahi.
10 Then Nabal answered the servants of David, and said, Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? Nowadays, many are the servants that have broken away, every one from the presence of his lord:
Nabal in jong noise tah in, “David kitipa chu koi hija ham? Hiche Jesse chapa hin ama le ama ipia kigel ham? Tulaiya hi soh tamtah apakai teu henga konna jam mang atam e.
11 Shall I, then, take my bread, and my wine, and my slain beasts, that I have slaughtered for my shearers, —and give unto men of whom I know not whence they are?
Achutile, iti keiman kakelngoi mulvou’a pangho kathapeh kelngoi-sa, a twidon ding u chule aneh diu kachanglhah jouse hi kalah peh’a, kahetphah lou gam'a hungkon miho chu kapeh beh ding hija ham?” ati pen tai.
12 So the young men of David turned away for their journey, —and came back, and drew near, and told him, according to all these words.
Hichun David gollhangho chu ahung kinunglen, Nabal in asei jouse chu David heng’ah alhut tauvin ahi.
13 Then said David unto his men—Gird on you every man his sword. And they girded on them, every man his sword, and, David also, girded on his sword, —and there went up after David—about four hundred men, and, two hundred, abode by the stores.
Chuin David in, “Nachemjam kigotun,” atin, hichun mi jali toh akilhon’un, chule mi jali anunglam uva thilkeo ngah din adalha uvin ahi.
14 But a certain one of her young men told, Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, —Lo! David sent messengers out of the wilderness to bless our lord, and he treated them with contempt.
Hichun Nabal soh ho lah-a mi khat in Abigail aga hetsah in, “David in gamthip gam'a konin gollhangho kapu koma salam boldin asollin ahileh anaphoh sal in,
15 But, the men, were exceeding good to us, —and we were not harmed, neither missed we, anything, all the days we went to and fro with them, while we were in the fields:
Gollhang ho chu keiho dinga phattah ahiuve, keihon amahoa kon in hahsatna imacha katoh khapouve, kaum khom sung uvin jong keihoa konin imacha alahdoh-u jong aumpoi.
16 A wall, became they unto us, both by night and by day, all the days we were with them, tending the flock.
Sunle jan in keihole kelngoiho ding in baang bang in eihong jing un, eingah tup jinguve.
17 Now, therefore, know thou, and see, what thou canst do, for mischief is determined against our lord, and against all his household, —but, he, is such an abandoned man, that one cannot speak unto him.
Hiche thu hohi nangman nahet chet angaiye chule ipi bolding ham ti nagel angaiye, ajeh chu ka pakai pa le ainsung mite jousea ding’a thil hahsa hungsoh ding in akilome. Amala alungtong lheh inkoimacha to kihou tehi ahipoi,” ati.
18 Then Abigail hastened—and took two hundred loaves, and two skins of wine, and five sheep made ready, and five measures of parched corn, and a hundred cakes of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, —and put them on the asses.
Hichun Abigail gangtah in changlhah lhon jani akigot in, lengpitwi savun peng ni dimset agongin, honminsa kelngoi nga akigot in, changpoh kana atena dim nga agon, lengpithei changlhah boh jakhat toh, theichang changlhah a kisem jani, hciheng hi, amanun sangan chungah asem in,
19 And she said to her young men—Pass on before me, behold me coming after you; but, to her husband, Nabal, told she nothing.
Asohte jah ah, “Anache masauvin, keiman kahin juipai ding nahiuve,” ati.
20 And so it was, as she was riding on her ass, and descending within the covert of the hill, lo! David and his men, descending over against her, —so she met them.
Abigail chu asangan chunga atouvin molchunga akaltouvin, aman David le amite ama langa-a ahung chu amun ahi.
21 Now, David, had said—Surely, in vain, did I guard all that pertained to this man in the wilderness, so that there was, nothing, missed of all that he had, —seeing he hath returned to me evil for good.
David in, “Hiche Nabal kitipa gancha jouse chu keiman khatcha beh jong manthah sah louva gammang noija kachinpeh chu pan nabeija kabol dan ahitai, tun Nabal in kathilpha bol jouse thilsen eihin lethoh pehtai.
22 So may God do to David and so may he add, if I leave remaining, of all that he hath, until the morning, —so much as a little boy.
Jingkah teng Nabal mi ahi kiti tapou pasal khatna khat jeng cha jong hinghoi louva katha gam louva ahile, Pakaiyin keima David hi eithat jeng hen,” tin aseitai.
23 And, when Abigail saw David, she hastened, and alighted from off her ass, —and fell down before David upon her face, and prostrated herself on the ground;
Abigail in David amu phat’in, asangan chunga kon in akumlhan amasang ah akunin abohkhup’in jana apen ahi.
24 yea she fell at his feet, and said—On me, even me, my lord, be the transgression, —But, I pray thee, let thy handmaid speak in thine ears, and hear thou the words of thy handmaid.
Akengphang bul’a abohkhup in ajah-a, “ka pakai thilsoh hicheng hohi keima themmo na ahijenge, chule nahenga kasei hi, neingaipeh-in.
25 Let it not be, I pray thee, that my lord regard this abandoned man—Nabal ["Base"]; For, as his name is, so, is he. Nabal, is his name, and, baseness, is with him, —But, I, thy handmaid, saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.
Hiche Nabal hi milungtong le mipha ahipoi, thupitah in lahih-in, ajeh chu amahi mingol ahibouve amin tobang banga amajong hija ahi. Ahinla kapun nahinsol gollhangho chu nasoh nun kana mulou ahi,” ati.
26 Now, therefore, my lord—By the life of Yahweh, and by the life of thine own soul, —seeing Yahweh hath withholden thee from coming in with bloodshed, and from saving thyself, with thine own hand, now, therefore, like Nabal, be thine enemies, and they who are making search for my lord, wrongfully.
“Tujeng injong Pakai hingjing mina kasei ahi, kapu jong nahin laihin Pakaiyin thisan so’a themmo sahna ding jousea nahoidoh sah ahitan, nakhut tah’a phu nalah ding jong aphal lousa ahitai, hijeh chun suhset ding thadinga nahola namelmate jouse chu Nabal tobang hisoh kei uhen.
27 Now, therefore, this blessing which thy maid-servant hath brought to my lord, let it even be given unto the young men who are going to and fro at the feet of my lord.
Nasoh nu keiman hiche nangma le nagollhang ho neh le chah dia kahin poh hi kapu neisanpeh tei teiyin.
28 Forgive, I pray thee, the trespass of thy handmaid, —for Yahweh, will certainly make, for my lord an assured house, for, the battles of Yahweh, is my lord fighting, and, wrong, shall not be found in thee, all thy days;
Nasohnu hi ipi hile kathemmona aumleh abonchan nei ngaidam in. Pakai dia galsat nahijeh in Pakaiyin nang le nachilhahte lenga natun jing uhen chule nahinkho lhumkeiyin thilse bolda jeng in,” ati.
29 yea, though there hath arisen a sun of earth to pursue thee, and to seek thy life, yet shall the life of my lord be bound up in the bundle of the living, with Yahweh thy God, but, as for the life of thine enemies, he shall sling it out with the middle of the hollow of the sling.
“Midang hon thading in hung kipat u henlang, nahol hol jeng jong leu, kapu nahinkho hi Pakai na Pathen in nei le gou manlu tah bangin naven tup jing in ahi. Ahin namelma teho jouse gophel a songchang kikap mang bang’a akap mang ding ahi.
30 And it shall be, when Yahweh shall do for my lord, according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, —and shall put thee in charge as leader over Israel,
Chujong le nachung chang thudola Pakaiyin aseisa jouse chu kapu dinga nabolpeh soh keiya, Israel chunga lenga natun tengle,
31 then shall this not become to thee a staggering and stumbling of heart, unto my lord—that thou didst either shed blood without need, or that the hand of my lord saved himself. And, when Yahweh hath dealt well with my lord, then remember thou thy handmaid.
Hitobang hohi hi nolna bei nahina chu kipuisetsah hihin. Chutile ajeh beiya mitha jeh ham ahiloule nangin naphu nakilah jeh ham a nalung gimpi lou ding ahi. Chuleh Pakaiyin kapu nang ma chung’a phatecha-a nainchen sah tengle, nasohnu keijong neihin geldoh tei teiyin,” ati.
32 Then said David unto Abigail, —Blessed, be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who hath sent thee this day, to meet me;
David in Abgail adonbutin, “Tunia Israel Pathen in keito kimuto dinga nahinsol jeh in, Pakai chu thangvah in umhen!
33 and, blessed, be thy discreet judgment, and, blessed, be thou thyself, —who hast kept me, this day, from coming in with bloodshed, and from saving myself, with mine own hand.
Thil nahet them jeh in Pathen thangvah in umhen! Nangma jong phatthei chang in, ajeh chun nangman tuni hin kathemmona ding thisan kaso’a keile kei phulah na’a kakhut kalap nadinga konin nei huhdoh tai.
34 Nevertheless, by the life of Yahweh, God of Israel, who hath restrained me from harming, thee, surely, except thou hadst hastened and come to meet me, there had not been left unto Nabal, by the light of the morning, so much as a little boy.
Pakai Israel Pathen min a kasei ahi, Pakaiyin nangho eisuhsetda sah ahitai, neihung kimupi loi hih le chu, jingkhovah masang’a Nabal mite khat a khatcha kahinghoi loud ing kathagam heldiu ahitai,” ati.
35 So David received at her hand, that which she had brought him, —and, unto herself, he said—Go up, in peace, unto thy house, see! I have hearkened unto thy voice, and accepted thy person.
Hichun David in jong athilpeh chengse akisan in, chule amanu jah-ah, “Lungmong tah-in na-inlama chetan, keiman nathusei kangai peh in, na inneipu jong katha lou ding ahitai,” ati.
36 And, when Abigail came unto Nabal, lo! he, had a banquet in his house, like the banquet of a king, and, the heart of Nabal, was glad accordingly, he having drunk deeply, —so she told him nothing—less or more, until the light of the morning.
Hitichun Abigail ahungkile kitna ain agalhun phat in, Nabal chun ainsungah lengpa golvah ni bangin kut anabollin ahi. Ama chu ju hakham in akhamin, hijeh chun amanun jong ajing jingkah changeiyin David toh akimuto thujong aseipeh tapoi.
37 And it came to pass, in the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, and his wife told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became like a stone.
Jingkah khovah lhah’a Nabal jong ajukhamna akonna hung limdoh phat in, ajinun thilsoh umchan jouse chu abonchan aseipeh tan ahileh atija behseh jeng in, alung sunga alung achat tapon, songtum bangin akitung dentai.
38 And it came to pass, in about ten days, that Yahweh smote Nabal, that he died.
Nisom jouvin, Pakaiyin Nabal chu adeng in, athipai pai tai.
39 And, when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said—Blessed, be Yahweh, who hath maintained the plea of my reproach, at the hand of Nabal, and hath restrained, his servant, from wrong, yea, the wrong of Nabal, hath Yahweh turned back on his own head. Then sent David, and spake with Abigail, to take her to himself wife.
David in Nabal thi ajah phat in, “Pakai thangvah in umhen, Nabal khutna kona jumsona hiche Nabal chunga phu eilah peh chu nunnom hen. Nabal in achonset man akisan ahitai,” ati. Chuin David in Abigail henga aji hina dingin thuthot aneiyin, agadoh sah tan ahi.
40 And the servants of David came unto Abigail the Carmelitess, —and spake unto her, saying, David, hath sent us unto thee, to take thee to himself to wife.
Chuin thupole ho chu Carmel alhun phat un, Abigail jah’a, “David in jia neidia, nang puiya eihinsol’u ahi,” agatiuve.
41 And she arose, and bowed herself down with her face to the earth, —and said—Lo! thy handmaid, as serving-woman to bathe the feet of the servants of my lord.
Hichun Abigail chu tol’ah abohkhup’in hitin adonbut in, “Kei, nasohnu, David toh kakichen ding kakipah’e, alhacha hiya akeng soppeh dia gotsa kahi,” ati.
42 And Abigail hastened, and mounted, and rode upon her ass, with her five damsels that used to journey at her feet, —and she went her way after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
Abigail jong lungkin tah-in akigongin, akipatdoh pai paiyin, sangan chung khat’a akaldoh in ama jenlea pangji asoh numei nga chu akipuiyin, David sohte nung ajuijin, David ji- dingin apangtai.
43 David took, Ahinoam also, out of Jezreel, —and, they two, became his wives.
David chun Ahinoam Jezreel kho mi jong akichenpin, anigel lhon in, ajidin apang lhontai.
44 Saul, indeed, had given his daughter Michal, David’s wife, —to Palti, sun of Laish, who was of Gallim.
Hiche kahlah chun Saul chun achanu Michal kitinu, David jinu chu Gallim kho mi Palti chapa La’ish chu aji din ape tai.
