1On the third day David and his men arrived in Ziklag, and the Amalekites had raided the Negev, attacked Ziklag, and burned it down.
1David hoi angmah ih kaminawk loe Ziklek vangpui to ni thumto hoiah phak o, to naah Amalek kaminawk mah aloih bang hoiah Ziklek to tuk o; Ziklek to tuk o moe, hmai hoiah qoeng o.
2They had taken captive the women and all who were there, both young and old. They had not killed anyone, but had carried them off as they went on their way.
2Nihcae mah to ah kaom mitong hoi nawktanawk to maeto doeh hum o ai; toe nongpatanawk to naeh o moe, misong ah hoih o.
3When David and his men came to the city, they found it burned down and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive.
3David hoi anih ih kaminawk Ziklek vangpui to phak o naah, khenah, vangpui loe hmai hoiah qoeng o moe, nihcae ih zu, a caanawk hoi canunawk to naeh pae o ving boeh.
4So David and the troops with him lifted up their voices and wept until they had no strength left to weep.
4To pongah David hoi anih ih kaminawk loe thazok o moe, qah thai ai khoek to tha hoiah qah o.
5David’s two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel, had been taken captive.
5David ih zu hnik, Jezreel vangpui ih Ahinoam hoi Karmel vangpui ih Nabal zu Abigail doeh naeh pae o ving.
6And David was greatly distressed because the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of every man grieved for his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the LORD his God.
6David loe paroeai poek angpho; kaminawk loe angmacae ih canu hoi capanawk nuiah palungset o pongah, David to thlung hoiah vah han thuih o; toe David loe Angraeng oephaih hoiah oh.
7Then David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Bring me the ephod.” So Abiathar brought it to him,
7To naah David mah Ahimalek capa qaima Abiathar khaeah, Kahni to na sin ah, tiah a naa. To naah Abiathar mah kahni to David hanah a sin pae.
8and David inquired of the LORD: “Should I pursue these raiders? Will I overtake them?” “Pursue them,” the LORD replied, “for you will surely overtake them and rescue the captives.”
8David mah Angraeng khaeah, Hae misatuh kaminawk hae ka patom han maw? Ka kae tih maw? tiah a dueng. Anih mah, Patom ah, na kae ueloe, nihcae to na pahlong boih let tih, tiah pathim pae.
9So David and his six hundred men went to the Brook of Besor, where some stayed behind
9To pongah David loe angmah ih kami cumvai tarukto hoiah caeh, Besor vacong to a phak o; thoemto kaminawk loe to ahmuen ah oh o.
10because two hundred men were too exhausted to cross the brook. But David and four hundred men continued in pursuit.
10Kami cumvai hnettonawk loe angpho o parai boeh pongah, Besor vacong doeh pha o thai ai, hnukah oh o sut; toe David hoi a taengah kaom kami cumvai palitonawk mah nihcae to patom o poe.
11Now his men found an Egyptian in the field and brought him to David. They gave the man water to drink and food to eat—
11Nihcae mah lawk ah kaom Izip kami maeto hnuk o, anih to David khaeah caeh o haih; nihcae mah to kami hanah takaw to paek o, anih mah takaw to caak; naek hanah tui doeh a paek o;
12a piece of a fig cake and two clusters of raisins. So he ate and was revived, for he had not had any food or water for three days and three nights.
12thaiduet thaih hoiah sak ih takaw phaek, misur thaih kazaek hoiah sak ih takaw hnetto a paek o, anih mah takaw caak pacoengah, tha oh let. Anih loe ni thumto pacoeng qum thumto thung buhcaa ai moe, tui doeh nae ai ah oh.
13Then David asked him, “To whom do you belong, and where are you from?” “I am an Egyptian,” he replied, “the slave of an Amalekite. My master abandoned me three days ago when I fell ill.
13David mah anih khaeah, Nang loe naa ih kami maw? Naa hoiah maw nang zoh? tiah a naa. Anih mah, Kai loe Izip kami, Amalek kami maeto ih tamna ah ka oh; hnukbang ni thumto thung ngan ka nat, to naah ka angraeng mah ang cawnh taak ving.
14We raided the Negev of the Cherethites, the territory of Judah, and the Negev of Caleb, and we burned down Ziklag.”
14Kereth kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen aloih bang, Judah prae hoi Kaleb prae aloih bang to ka tuk o pacoengah, Ziklek vangpui to hmai hoiah ka thlaek o, tiah a naa.
15“Will you lead me to these raiders?” David asked. And the man replied, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me or deliver me into the hand of my master, and I will lead you to them.”
15David mah anih khaeah, To kaminawk ataihaih ahmuen ah loklam nang patuek thai tih maw? tiah a dueng. Anih mah, Nang hae kang hum mak ai, ka angraeng ban ah doeh kang paek mak ai, tiah Sithaw hmaa ah lok na kam nahaeloe, nihcae ohhaih ahmuen ah kang caeh haih han, tiah a naa.
16So he led David down, and there were the Amalekites spread out over all the land, eating, drinking, and celebrating the great amount of plunder they had taken from the land of the Philistines and the land of Judah.
16Anih mah David to caeh haih tathuk, khenah, to kaminawk loe Philistin hoi Judah prae thung ih hmuennawk to a lak o, to pongah taw boih ah ampraek o; a naek o, a caak o moe, hnawhaih hoiah khosak o.
17And David struck them down from twilight until the evening of the next day. Not a man escaped, except four hundred young men who fled, riding off on camels.
17David mah nihcae to khawnbang khoving hmuep nathuem hoi kamtong duembang khoek to tuk pongah, kaengkuu hrang cumvai palito hoi kacawn thendoengnawk ai ah loe, kami maeto doeh loih o ai.
18So David recovered everything the Amalekites had taken, including his two wives.
18Amalek kaminawk mah lak o ih hmuennawk boih to David mah lak let; a zu hnik doeh pahlong let.
19Nothing was missing, young or old, son or daughter, or any of the plunder the Amalekites had taken. David brought everything back.
19Nihcae ih hmuen tidoeh anghmaa ai, nawktanawk, mitongnawk, canunawk, capanawk, nihcae mah lak o ih hmuennawk boih David mah lak pae boih let.
20And he recovered all the flocks and herds, which his men drove ahead of the other livestock, calling out, “This is David’s plunder!”
20Maitawnawk hoi tuunawk doeh lak o let, David ih hmuen ni, tiah thuih o pacoengah, to maitawnawk to anih ih kaminawk mah hmaabang ah huih o.
21When David came to the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to follow him from the Brook of Besor, they came out to meet him and the troops with him. As David approached the men, he greeted them,
21David loe angpho qawt boeh pongah hnukah bang thai ai, Besor vacong ah caeh o taak ih kami cumvai hnettonawk khaeah a caeh let. To kaminawk loe David hoi nawnto caeh kaminawk dawt hanah caeh o; David mah kaminawk khae phak naah, nihcae to bansin.
22but all the wicked and worthless men among those who had gone with David said, “Because they did not go with us, we will not share with them the plunder we recovered, except for each man’s wife and children. They may take them and go.”
22Toe David hoi nawnto caeh kahoih ai kaminawk hoi kasae kaminawk mah, Hae kaminawk loe aicae hoi nawnto caeh o ai pongah, lak ih hmuennawk paek hmah si, kami boih mah angmacae ih zu hoi a caanawk to la o nasoe loe, caeh o lai nasoe, tiah thuih o.
23But David said, “My brothers, you must not do this with what the LORD has given us. He has protected us and delivered into our hands the raiders who came against us.
23David mah nihcae khaeah, Nawkamyanawk, to tiah na ai ni; aicae bomkung, aicae katuh paroeai pop kaminawk aicae ban ah paekkung, Angraeng mah paek ih hmuenmaenawk loe to tiah sak han om ai.
24Who will listen to your proposal? The share of the one who went to battle will match the share of the one who stayed with the supplies. They will share alike.”
24Hae tiah na thuih o ih lok hae mi mah maw tahngai tih? Misatuh kaminawk mah hak o ih hmuen zetto hmuenmae toep kaminawk mah doeh hak o toeng han oh; kaminawk boih kangvan ah amzet han oh, tiah a naa.
25And so it has been from that day forward. David established this statute as an ordinance for Israel to this very day.
25To na ni hoi kamtong vaihni ni khoek to, Israel kaminawk thungah to baktih daan to David mah sak pae.
26When David arrived in Ziklag, he sent some of the plunder to his friends, the elders of Judah, saying, “Here is a gift for you from the plunder of the LORD’s enemies.”
26David Ziklek vangpui phak naah, a lak ih hmuennawk to Judah kacoehtanawk hoi angmah ih ampuinawk khaeah pat pae; Angraeng ih misanawk khae hoi ka lak ih hmuen hae tangqum ah kang pat, tiah a naa.
27He sent gifts to those in Bethel, Ramoth Negev, and Jattir;
27To ih hmuennawk to Bethel vangpui, Ramoth vangpui aloih bang hoi Jattir vangpui aloih bang,
28to those in Aroer, Siphmoth, and Eshtemoa;
28Aroer vangpui, Sipmoth vangpui, Eshtemoa vangpui,
29to those in Racal and in the cities of the Jerahmeelites and Kenites;
29Rakal vangpui ah kaom kaminawk, Jerameeli vangpui hoi Ken kaminawk ohhaih vangpuinawk,
30to those in Hormah, Bor-ashan, and Athach;
30Horma vangpui, Kor-Ashan vangpui, Athak vangpui hoi
31and to those in Hebron and in all the places where David and his men had roamed.
31Hebron vangpui ih kaminawk, David hoi anih ih kaminawk ohhaih vangpui ah kaom kaminawk boih khaeah a pat pae.
