1 Samuel 29
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1Now the Philistines gathered together all their hosts to Aphek; and the Israelites pitched by the fountain which is in Jezreel.
1Philistin misatuh kaminawk boih, Aphek ah amkhueng o; Israel kaminawk loe Jezreel taeng ih tui ohhaih ahmuen ah atai o.
2And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands; and David and his men passed on in the rearward with Achish.
2Philistin ukkungnawk loe misatuh kami cumvaito, sangto ah tapraek o moe, caeh o; toe David hoi anih ih kaminawk loe Akhish siangpahrang hoi nawnto hnukah bang o.
3Then said the princes of the Philistines: 'What do these Hebrews here?' And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines: 'Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who hath been with me these days or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell away unto me unto this day?'
3Philistin misatuh angraengnawk mah, Hae ih Hebrunawk loe kawbangmaw oh o? tiah lokdueng o. Akhish mah, Philistin angraengnawk khaeah, David loe Israel siangpahrang Saul ih tamna ah oh, anih loe kai khaeah saningto pacoeng, vaihni ni khoek to oh boeh; kai khaeah ang cawnh pacoeng hoi vaihni ni khoek to a zaehaih tidoeh ka hnu ai vop, tiah a naa.
4But the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistines said unto him: 'Make the man return, that he may go back to his place where thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become an adversary to us; for wherewith should this fellow reconcile himself unto his lord? should it not be with the heads of these men?
4Toe Philistin misatuh angraengnawk loe anih nuiah palungphui o moe, To kami loe amlaem let nasoe; na paek ih a ohhaih ahmuen ah amlaem let nasoe; misatuk naah kaicae hoi nawnto caeh hmah nasoe; to tih ai nahaeloe misatuk naah kaicae hae na tuh lat tih; anih mah angmah ih angraeng palung tongsak hanah, aicae ih lu takroek lat mak ai maw?
5Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying: Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?'
5Saul mah sangto hum moe, David mah sang hato hum, tiah kaminawk mah hnawhhaih hoiah laasak o thuih ih kami loe, hae David na ai maw? tiah a naa o.
6Then Achish called David, and said unto him: 'As the LORD liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host is good in my sight; for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day; nevertheless the lords favour thee not.
6To pongah Akhish mah David to kawk moe, anih khaeah, Angraeng loe hing baktih toengah, nang loe katoeng ah kho na sak; kai hoi nawnto misatuk nathung na toksakhaih paroeai hoih; kai khaeah nang zoh tangsuek nathuem hoi kamtong vaihni ni khoek to na zaehaih tidoeh ka hnu ai; toe ukkungnawk mah nang to koeh o ai.
7Wherefore now return, and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines.'
7To pongah vaihi lunghoihta hoiah amlaem let ah; Philistin ukkungnawk koeh ai ih hmuen to sah hmah, tiah a naa.
8And David said unto Achish: 'But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been before thee unto this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?'
8Toe David mah, Ka sak ih hmuen timaw oh boeh; nang khaeah kang zoh na ni hoi kamtong vaihni ni khoek to na tamna mah timaw sakpazaehaih oh? Ka caeh moe, ka angraeng siangpahrang ih misa ka tuk thai han ai ah tih hmuen maw oh? tiah a naa.
9And Achish answered and said to David: 'I know that thou art 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.
9Akhish mah David khaeah, Ka mikhnukah Sithaw ih van kami baktiah, ka hmaa ah na hoih, tiah ka panoek; toe Philistin misatuh angraengnawk mah, Anih loe misatuk naah kaicae hoi nawnto angzo hmah nasoe, tiah thuih o.
10Wherefore now rise up early in the morning with the servants of thy lord that are come with thee; and as soon as ye are up early in the morning, and have light, depart.'
10To pongah khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk loe, Nang hoi nawnto angzo na angraeng ih tamnanawk hoiah khawnbang khodai naah tacawt oh, tiah a naa.
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.
11To pongah David hoi anih ih kaminawk loe khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk o moe, Philistin prae ah amlaem o let. Philisitinnawk loe Jezreel vangpui ah caeh o.
