1Saul a dueknah hnukah David te Amalek a tloek lamkah ha mael. Te vaengah David te Ziklag ah hnin nit om.
1Now it came to pass, after Saul was dead, that David returned from the slaughter of the Amalecites, and abode two days in Siceleg.
2Hnin thum a om phoeiah Saul taengkah hlang te caem lamkah tarha ha pawk. A himbai te a pawnsoem la a lu dongkah laipi neh David taengla ha pawk vaengah lai la yalh tih a bawk.
2And on the third day, there appeared a man who came out of Saul’s camp, with his garments rent, and dust strewed on his head: and when he came to David, he fell upon his face, and adored.
3Anih te David loh, “Me lamkah lae na pawk,” a ti nah. Te dongah amah te, “Israel caem lamloh ka yong,” a ti nah.
3And David said to him: From whence comest thou? And he said to him: I am fled out of the camp of Israel.
4Te dongah anih te David loh, “Olka aka om te kai taengah thui laeh,” a ti nah hatah pilnam te caemtloek lamkah rhaelrham tih pilnam muep a duek te khaw, Saul a duek te khaw, a capa Jonathan a duek khaw a thui pah.
4And David said unto him: What is the matter that is come to pass? tell me. He said: The people are fled from the battle, and many of the people are fallen and dead: moreover Saul and Jonathan his son are slain.
5Te dongah amah taengla aka puen cadong te David loh, “Saul neh a capa Jonathan a duek te me tlam lae na ming?” a ti nah.
5And David said to the young man that told him: How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son, are dead?
6Amah taengla aka puen cadong loh, “Gilboa tlang la ka thoeng rhoe ka thoeng. Te vaengah Saul te amah kah caai dongah hangdang tih leng neh marhang caem boei rhoek loh anih te tarha a cuuk thil uh.
6And the young man that told him, said: I came by chance upon mount Gelboe, and Saul leaned upon his spear: and the chariots and horsemen drew nigh unto him,
7Te vaengah a hnukla ha mael tih kai m'hmuh hatah ng'khue tih, 'Kai ni he ue,’ ka ti nah.
7And looking behind him, and seeing me, he called me. And I answered, Here am I.
8Te phoeiah kai te, “Nang ulae,” a ti. Te dongah anih te ka doo tih, “Kai Amalek ni,” ka ti nah.
8And he said to me: Who art thou? And I said to him: I am an Amalecite.
9Te vaengah, “Kai taengah pai lamtah kai he n'duek sak laeh, duekrhui loh kai n'tuuk tih ka khuiah ka hinglu khaw khak om pueng he,” a ti.
9And he said to me: Stand over me, and kill me: for anguish is come upon me, and as yet my whole life is in me.
10Tedae a cungku coeng he tah hing mahpawh tila ka ming dongah anih te ka pai tih ka duek sak. Te phoeiah a lu dongkah rhuisam neh a ban dongkah cak te ka loh tih ka boei taengla pahoi kang khuen,” a ti nah.
10So standing over him, I killed him: for I knew that he could not live after the fall: and I took the diadem that was on his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm and have brought them hither to thee, my lord.
11Te dongah David loh a himbai te a paco tih a phen hatah a taengkah hlang rhoek long khaw boeih a rhoi uh.
11Then David took hold of his garments and rent them, and likewise all the men that were with him.
12cunghang neh a cungku uh coeng dongah Israel imkhui ham khaw, BOEIPA kah pilnam ham khaw, Saul ham neh a capa Jonathan ham khaw a rhaengsae uh. Rhap uh tih kholaeh duela a yaeh uh.
12And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel, because they were fallen by the sword.
13Te phoeiah amah taengla aka puen camoe te David loh, “Nang me lamkah lae,” a ti nah hatah, “Kai tah Amalek yinlai, hlang capa ni,” a ti nah.
13And David said to the young man that told him: Whence art thou? He answered: I am the son of a stranger of Amalee.
14Tedae anih te David loh, “BOEIPA kah a koelh te thup hamla kut na hlah te balae tih na rhih pawh?” a ti nah.
14David said to him: Why didst thou not fear to put out thy hand to kill the Lord’s anointed?
15Te phoeiah David loh cadong pakhat te a khue tih, “Thoeih lamtah, a cuuk thil,” a ti nah. Te dongah a ngawn tih duek.
15And David calling one of his servants, said: Go near and fall upon him. And he struck him so that he died.
16Anih te David loh, “'BOEIPA kah a koelh te kai loh ka duek sak,’ na ti tih na ka loh namah taengah a phoe coeng dongah na thii khaw namah thii vanbangla namah lu soah tla saeh,” a ti nah.
16And David said to him: Thy blood be upon thy own head: for thy own mouth hath spoken against thee, saying: I have slain the Lord’s anointed.
17Saul neh a capa Jonathan te David loh rhahlung neh a rhaengsae.
17And David made this kind of lamentation over Saul, and over Jonathan his son.
18Te dongah Jashar cabu dongkah a daek liva laa he Judah ca rhoek a cang ham a thui.
18(Also he commanded that they should teach the children of Juda the use of the bow, as it is written in the book of the just.) And he said: Consider, O Israel, for them that are dead, wounded on thy high places.
19Israel kirhang hlangrhalh nang loh, hmuensang ah balae tih a rhok la a cung uh.
19The illustrious of Israel are slain upon thy mountains: how are the valiant fallen?
20Gath ah na puen pawh, Ashkelon tollong ah khaw na phong pawh. Philisti nu loh n'kokhah ve pumdul nu rhoek sundaep uh ve.
20Tell it not in Geth, publish it not in the streets of Ascalon: lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph,
21Gilboa tlang ah buemtui tla boel saeh, nang soah khotlan khaw bo boel saeh. Saul kah photling, hlangrhalh photling te na tuei dongah khocang hmuen loh situi nen khaw koelh boel saeh.
21Ye mountains of Gelboe, let neither dew, nor rain come upon you, neither be they fields of firstfruits: for there was cast away the shield of the valiant, the shield of Saul as though he had not been anointed with oil.
22Hlangrhalh tha neh salaem thii he, Jonathan kah liva loh a hnuk la balkhong tak pawt tih Saul kah cunghang khaw kuttling la a mael moenih.
22From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the valiant, the arrow of Jonathan never turned back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.
23Saul neh Jonathan lung uh rhoi. A hing khuiah naepnoi rhoi tih a duek vaengah tuiphih pawh. Aatha lakah yanghoep rhoi tih, sathueng lakah a na rhoi.
23Saul and Jonathan, lovely, and comely in their life, even in death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.
24Nangmih a lingdik neh omthennah aka bawn tih, na pueinak dongah sui cangen neh aka cam Israel nu rhoek loh, Saul te rhah uh lah.
24Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you with scarlet in delights, who gave ornaments of gold for your attire.
25Na hmuensang kah Jonathan te, hlangrhalh rhoek loh caemrhal laklo ah a rhok la a cungku sak uh.
25How are the valiant fallen in battle? Jonathan slain in the high places?
26Ka manuca Jonathan nang ham kai n'daengdaeh. Kai taengah na hlahmae sut tih, yuu kah lungnah lakah khaw kai ham tah, nang kah lungnah ni khobaerhambae coeng.
26I grieve for thee, my brother Jonathan: exceeding beautiful, and amiable to me above the love of women. As the mother loveth her only son, so did I love thee.
27Balae tih hlangrhalh rhoek a cungku uh vaengah, caemtloek kah hnopai khaw a paltham.
27How are the valiant fallen, and the weapons of war perished?
