1 Samuel 24
1 And it came to pass, when Saul had returned from following the Philistines, that it was told to him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi.
Saul Philistin kaminawk patomhaih ahmuen hoiah amlaem pacoengah, David loe En-Gdi praezaek ah oh, tiah thuih pae o.
2 Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats.
To pongah Israel kaminawk thung hoi kami sang thumto a qoih moe, sathar ohhaih cathaeng ah David hoi anih taengah kaom kaminawk to pakrong hanah caeh o.
3 And he came to the sheepfolds by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave.
Tuu khongkha ohhaih ahmuen phak o naah loe, to ah thlungkhaw maeto a hnuk o; Saul loe to thlungkhaw thungah akunh moe, anghawk; David hoi anih ih kaminawk loe atlim ah kaom thlungkhaw thungah oh o.
4 And the men of David said to him, Behold the day of which the LORD said to thee, Behold, I will deliver thy enemy into thy hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good to thee. Then David arose, and secretly cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe.
David ih kaminawk mah, Khenah, hoih tiah na poek ih baktih toengah sak hanah, Angraeng mah na misa to na ban ah kang paek han, tiah thuih ih ni to phak boeh, tiah a naa o. To naah David mah angthawk duem moe, Saul ih kahni atom to aah pae pet.
5 And it came to pass afterward, that David’s heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul’s skirt.
Akra ai ah oh pacoengah, David mah Sual ih kahni tom to aah pae pongah, poeknawm ai.
6 And he said to his men, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the LORD’S anointed, to stretch forth my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD.
Angmah ih kaminawk khaeah, Angraeng mah situi bawh ih ka angraeng nuiah, hae tiah sak han om ai, anih loe Angraeng mah situi bawh ih kami ah oh pongah, a nuiah ban phok han ai ah, Angraeng mah pakaa nasoe, tiah a naa.
7 So David restrained his servants with these words, and permitted them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose out of the cave, and went on his way.
Saul to hum o han ai ah, hae lok hoiah David mah angmah ih kaminawk to thuitaek. Thlungkhaw thung hoi angthawk moe, Saul to caehtaak ving.
8 David also rose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself.
To pacoengah David loe thlungkhaw thung hoiah tacawt moe, Saul khaeah, ka angraeng, siangpahrang, tiah a kawk, Saul mah a hnukbangah khet naah, David loe long ah akuep tathuk.
9 And David said to Saul, Why hearest thou men’s words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy harm?
David mah Saul khaeah, Tipongah kaminawk mah, David mah nang hum hanah patoem, tiah thuih ih lok to na tang loe?
10 Behold, this day thy eyes have seen how the LORD hath delivered thee to day into my hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee: but my eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth my hand against my lord; for he is the LORD’S anointed.
Khenah, vaihniah Angraeng mah thlungkhaw thungah na hinghaih ka ban ah paek boeh, tiah a naa. Thoemto kaminawk mah nang hum hanah ang thuih o; toe kai mah ni nang hae kang pathlung; anih loe Angraeng mah situi bawh ih kami ah oh pongah, ka angraeng nuiah ban ka phok mak ai, tiah ka naa.
11 Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take it.
Khenah kampa, na ban ih kahni tom hae khenah; nang ih kahni tom loe ka aah boeh; toe nang loe kang hum ai; ka sakpazae ih hmuen om ai moe, na nuiah doeh sakpazaehaih ka tawn ai; toe nang loe kai hum hanah nang pakrong.
12 The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of thee: but my hand shall not be upon thee.
Nang hoi kai salakah Angraeng mah lokcaek nasoe; ka nuiah na sak ih hmuen pongah Angraeng mah pathok nasoe; toe ka ban mah nang hae sui mak ai.
13 As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but my hand shall not be upon thee.
Canghni ih thuitaekhaih lok mah, Kasae thung hoiah ni sethaih to tacawt, tiah thuih ih lok to oh baktih toengah, ka ban mah nang to sui mak ai.
14 After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.
Israel siangpahrang loe mi tuk han ih maw angzoh? Mi maw na patom? Kadueh ui maw? Uithlinawk maw?
15 The LORD therefore be judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thy hand.
Angraeng loe nang hoi kai salakah lokcaekkung ah om nasoe; na khenzawn nasoe, kai kawng to poek nasoe loe, na ban thung hoiah na pahlong nasoe, tiah a naa.
16 And it came to pass, when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
David mah Saul khaeah hae loknawk thuih pacoengah, Ka capa David, hae loe nang ih lok maw? tiah a naa. To pacoengah tha hoiah a qah.
17 And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I: for thou hast rewarded me with good, though I have rewarded thee with evil.
Anih mah Davih khaeah, Nang loe kai pongah na toeng kue; nang mah loe kahoih hmuen to nang paek; toe kai mah loe nang hanah kasae hmuen to kang paek lat.
18 And thou hast showed this day how thou hast dealt with me: forasmuch as when the LORD had delivered me into thy hand, thou didst not kill me.
Ka nuiah na sak ih kahoih hmuen vaihi nam tuengsak boeh; Angraeng mah kai hae na ban ah paek boeh, toe nang hum ai.
19 For if a man findeth his enemy, will he let him go away well? therefore the LORD reward thee with good for what thou hast done to me this day.
Kami maeto mah a misa to hnuk naah, loisak vai maw? Vaihniah ka nuiah na hoih pongah Angraeng mah tahamhoihaih na paek nasoe.
20 And now, behold, I know well that thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thy hand.
Vaihiah khenah, Nang loe siangpahrang ah na om tih, Israel prae loe na ban ah angdoesak tih, tiah ka panoek.
21 Swear now therefore to me by the LORD, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my father’s house.
Vaihiah Angraeng ih ahmin hoiah, Kai ih caanawk hae na tamit mak ai, kai ih ahmin doeh kampa imthung takoh hoiah ka phrae bit mak ai, tiah kai khaeah lokkamhaih sah ah, tiah a naa.
22 And David swore to Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men went up to the strong hold.
To pongah David mah Saul khaeah lokkamhaih to sak. To pacoengah Saul loe im ah amlaem; toe David hoi anih ih kaminawk loe misa abuephaih thlugkhaw thungah caeh o tahang.
