1And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
1Saul taengah a thui te a khah van neh Jonathan kah a hinglu neh David kah a hinglu he hlaengtang uh rhoi. Te dongah Jonathan te a lungnah tih anih khaw Jonathan loh amah kah hinglu bangla a lungnah.
2And Saul took him that day, and would not let him return to his father’s house.
2Tekah khohnin lamkah longah David te Saul loh a loh tih, a napa im la bal sak voel pawh.
3And David and Jonathan made a covenant, for be loved him as his own soul.
3David te Jonathan loh amah hinglu bangla a lungnah dongah moi a boh pah.
4And Jonathan stripped himself of the coat with which he was clothed, and gave it to David, and the rest of his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
4Te dongah Jonathan loh a hnikul te a pit tih a himbai khaw, a cunghang khaw, a lii neh a hni khaw David a paek.
5And David went out to whatsoever business Saul sent him, and he behaved himself prudently: and Saul set him over the soldiers, and he was acceptable in the eyes of all the people, and especially in the eyes of Saul’s servants.
5A cungkuem dongah Saul loh anih a tueih vanbangla David khaw cet tih a cangbam. Te dongah anih te Saul caemtloek hlang rhoek kah soah a khueh tih pilnam boeih kah mikhmuh ah khaw Saul kah a sal rhoek kah mikhmuh ah khaw mikhmai then a dang.
6Now when David returned, after be slew the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels of joy, and cornets.
6Philisti aka tloek lamloh David ha bal phoeiah amih te khaw bal uh. Te vaengah manghai Saul doe hamla Israel khopuei tom lamkah huta rhoek loh kamrhing neh, toembael neh, kohoenah neh a lam neh a hlai uh tih ha pawk uh.
7And the women sung as they played, and they said: I Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
7Te vaengah huta rhoek loh a nueih doela a doo uh tih, “Saul loh thawngkhat, thawngkhat, David loh thawngrha a ngawn,” a ti nah.
8And Saul was exceeding angry, and this word was displeasing in his eyes, and he said: They have given David ten thousands, and to me they have given but a thousand; what can he have more but the kingdom?
8Te vaengah Saul te ta-oe lungoe. Tekah olka te a mikhmuh ah thae ni a huet pah. Te dongah Saul loh, “David tah thawngrha a paek uh tih kai tloe tah thawngkhat m'paek uh. Ram aka om duen khaw anih ham khoep thil koinih,” a ti.
9And Saul did not look on David with a good eye from that day and forward.
9Te khohnin lamkah long tah Saul loh David te thaesainah neh a mikmuelh coeng.
10And the day after the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David played with his hand as at other times. And Saul held a spear in his hand,
10A vuen ah tah Pathen kah mueihla thae te Saul soah thaihtak tih a im khui ah a tonghma pah. Khohnin khohnin ah David loh a kut neh rhotoeng a tum pah dae Saul kut dongah caai ni a om.
11And threw it, thinking to nail David to the wall: and David stept aside out of his presence twice.
11Te vaengah Saul loh David te, “Ka ngawn eh?,” a ti coeng dae pangbueng te caai neh a khoh. Te vaengah David te Saul mikhmuh lamloh hnavoei a paelhael tak.
12And Saul feared David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from himself.
12David he BOEIPA loh a om puei dongah Saul loh a rhih. Tedae David amah te Saul taeng lamloh vik nong.
13Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him a captain over a thousand men, and he went out and came in before the people.
13Te dongah Saul loh David te amah taeng lamloh a tueih tih amah yueng la thawngkhat kah mangpa la a khueh. Te dongah David khaw pilnam kah mikhmuh la mop van tih pongpa van.
14And David behaved wisely in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
14A longpuei ah David te BOEIPA loh boeih a cangbam tih anih te a om puei.
15And Saul saw that he was exceeding prudent, and began to beware of him.
15Anih loh bahoeng a cangbam te Saul loh a hmuh vaengah a mikhmuh ah bakuep coeng.
16But all Israel and Juda loved David, for he came in and went out before them.
16David he Israel neh Judah pum loh a lungnah dongah amah amih mikhmuh ah mop van tih pongpa van.
17And Saul said to David: Behold my elder daughter Merob, her will I give thee to wife: only be a valiant man, and fight the battles of the Lord. Now Saul said within himself: Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hands of the Philistines be upon him.
17Te vaengah David te Saul loh, “Ka canu a ham Merab he na yuu la kam pae eh?, kamah taengah tatthai ca la dawk om lamtah BOEIPA kah caemtloek te vathoh thil,” a ti nah. Tedae Saul loh, “Ka kut loh David cuuk thil pawt cakhaw Philisti kut loh cuuk thil kolo saeh,” a ti.
18And David said to Saul: Who am I, or what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son in law of the king?
18Tedae David loh Saul taengah, “Manghai cava la om ham akhaw Israel khuiah kai he ulae? A pa kah a hui a ko khuiah kai kah hingnah he balae?,” a ti nah.
19And it came to pass at the time when Merob the daughter of Saul should have been given to David, that she was given to Hadriel the Molathite to wife.
19Tedae Saul canu Merab te David taengla paek ham a tue a pha vaengah tah anih te Mekoloti Adriel yuu la a paek.
20But Michol the other daughter of Saul loved David. And it was told Saul, and it pleased him.
20David loh Saul canu Mikhal a lungnah tih Saul taengla a puen pa uh hatah olka te a mikhmuh ah a thuem sak.
21And Saul said: I will give her to him, that she may be a stumblingblock to him, and that the band of the Philistines may be upon him. And Saul said to David: In two things thou shalt be my son in law this day.
21Te vaengah Saul loh, “Anih ka paek daengah ni David taengah hlaeh la a om pa vetih Philisti kut loh a cuuk thil eh?,” a ti. Te dongah Saul loh David te, “Tihnin ah a pabae la kan cava nah eh,” a ti nah.
22And Saul commanded his servants to speak to David privately, saying: Behold thou pleasest the king, and all his servants love thee. Now therefore be the king’s son in law.
22Te phoeiah Saul loh a sal rhoek te, “David te a huep la voek uh lamtah, 'Manghai loh nang ng'ngaih tih a sal boeih long khaw nang n'lungnah coeng dongah manghai cava la om laeh,’ ti nah,” tila a uen.
23And the servants of Saul spoke all these words in the ears of David. And David said: Doth it seem to you a small matter to be the king’s son in law? But I am a poor man, and of small ability.
23Tekah ol te Saul kah sal rhoek loh David hna ah a thui uh. Tedae David loh, “Na mikhmuh ah manghai loh n'cava nah te rhaemaih la, kai tah vawtthoek hlang neh rhaidaeng la,” a ti nah.
24And the servants of Saul told him, saying: Such words as these hath David spoken.
24Te dongah Saul taengla a sal rhoek te puen uh tih David kah a thui olka te a thui pah.
25And Saul said: Speak thus to David: The king desireth not any dowry, but only a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies. Now Saul thought to deliver David into the hands of the Philistines.
25Saul loh, “David te thui pah, manghai hamla maan a kuek moenih, manghai kah thunkha rhoek taengah phuloh, ham Philisti kah yahhmui yakhat mah,” a ti nah. Te vaengah David te Philisti kut ah cungku sak ham Saul loh a moeh.
26And when his servants had told David the words that Saul had said, the word was pleasing in the eyes of David to be the king’s son in law.
26Te olka te a sal rhoek loh David taengla a puen pa uh vaengah tah, manghai loh a cava nah ham te, David mikhmuh ah khaw olka tluek tluek khui tih khohnin khaw thok sak voel pawh.
27And after a few days David rose up, and went with the men that were under him, and he slew of the Philistines two hundred men, and brought their foreskins and numbered them out to the king, that he might be his son in law. Saul therefore gave him Michol his daughter to wife.
27Te dongah David te thoo tih a hlang rhoek te a caeh puei. Te phoeiah Philisti hlang yahnih te a ngawn. Amih kah yahhmui te David loh a khuen tih manghai loh a cava nah ham a kuek te manghai taengah a cuum sak. Te daengah a yuu la a canu Mikhal te Saul loh David taengah a paek.
28And Saul saw, and understood that the Lord was with David. And Michol the daughter of Saul loved him.
28Saul loh a sawt vaengah David taengah BOEIPA om tih Saul canu Mikhal loh David a lungnah te a ming.
29And Saul began to fear David more: and Saul became David’s enemy continually.
29David a rhih te Saul loh koep koep a koei dongah hnin takuem ah Saul he David kah thunkha la a om pah.
30And the princes of the Philistines went forth: and from the beginning of their going forth, David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, and his name became very famous.
30Philisti mangpa rhoek ha pawk tih amih taengah aka cet dingdoeng la a om vaengah khaw Saul kah a sal rhoek te David loh boeih a cangbam dongah a ming khaw then tangkik.
