1Philisti loh a caem boeih te Aphek ah a coi uh tih, Israel rhoek khaw Jezreel tuiphuet ah rhaeh uh.
1Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek; and the Israelites encamped by the spring which is in Jezreel.
2Philisti boei rhoek tah yakhat nen khaw thawngkhat nen khaw kat uh dae David tah a hael ah a hlang rhoek neh Akhish neh kat uh.
2The lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds and by thousands; and David and his men passed on in the rear with Achish.
3Te vaengah Philisti mangpa rhoek loh, “Hebrew rhoek te banim ca? a ti uh. Te dongah Philisti mangpa rhoek te Akhish loh, “Te te Israel manghai Saul kah sal David moenih a? Anih te kai taengah a kum la a hnin la om coeng ta. A koep hnin lamkah tihnin hil a lolh pakhat khaw anih pum dongah ka hmuh moenih,” a ti nah.
3Then the princes of the Philistines said, “What about these Hebrews?” Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, “Isn’t this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or rather these years? I have found no fault in him since he fell away until today.”
4Tedae Philisti mangpa rhoek te anih taengah a thintoek uh. Te dongah amah vik te Philisti mangpa rhoek loh, “Tekah hlang te mael sak lamtah amah na hlah nah hmuen la bal saeh. Mamih neh caemtloek la ha suntla boel saeh. Caemtloek vaengah mamih taengah khingkhoekkung la om mahpawt nim? Ba nen lae a boei rhoek te a moeithen eh? Amih hlang rhoek kah a lu moenih a?
4But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; and the princes of the Philistines said to him, “Make the man return, that he may go back to his place where you have appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become an adversary to us. For with what should this fellow reconcile himself to his lord? Should it not be with the heads of these men?
5Anih te David moenih a? Anih te lam neh a doo uh tih, 'Saul loh thawngkhat, David loh thawngrha, thawngrha a ngawn coeng,’ a ti ta,” a ti uh.
5Isn’t this David, of whom people sang to one another in dances, saying, ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands’?”
6Akhish loh David te a khue tih, “BOEIPA kah hingnah dongah na thuem coeng. Na pongthoh khaw ka mikhmuh ah then tih rhaehhmuen ah khaw kamah taengah na pongpa mako. Kai taengla na pawk hnin lamloh tihnin due nang soah boethae ka hmuh moenih. Tedae boei rhoek kah mik dongah tah na then moenih.
6Then Achish called David and said to him, “As the LORD lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army is good in my sight; for I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming to me to this day. Nevertheless, the lords don’t favor you.
7Te dongah mael lamtah ngaimong la cet mai laeh. Philisti boei rhoek kah mikhmuh ah boethae saii boel mai,” a ti nah.
7Therefore now return, and go in peace, that you not displease the lords of the Philistines.”
8David loh Akhish te, “Tedae balae ka saii tih na mikhmuh ah ka om khohnin lamloh tahae khohnin duela na sal pum dongah balae na hmuh coeng. Ka boei thunkha manghai pataeng ka paan tih ka vathoh thil moenih,” a ti nah.
8David said to Achish, “But what have I done? What have you found in your servant so long as I have been before you to this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”
9Te dongah David te Akhish loh a doo tih, “Pathen puencawn bangla ka mikhmuh ah na then te ka ming dae Philisti mangpa rhoek long tah, “Caemtloek khuiah kaimih neh pongpa boel saeh,” a ti uh.
9Achish answered David, “I know that you are good in my sight, as an angel of God. Notwithstanding, the princes of the Philistines have said, ‘He shall not go up with us to the battle.’
10Te dongah namah neh naka pawk hmaih na boeipa kah sal rhoek neh mincang ah thoo uh. Mincang ah na thoo uh vetih kho a tueng neh pahoi na cet mako,” a ti nah.
10Therefore now rise up early in the morning with the servants of your lord who have come with you; and as soon as you are up early in the morning and have light, depart.”
11Te dongah David amah neh a hlang rhoek tah mincang ah caeh hamla thoo coeng tih Philisti kho la mael. Tedae Philisti rhoek tah Jezreel la cet uh.
11So David rose up early, he and his men, to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines; and the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
