1When Saul had returned from following the Philistines, he was told, “Behold, David is in the wilderness of En Gedi.”
1Saul Philistin kaminawk patomhaih ahmuen hoiah amlaem pacoengah, David loe En-Gdi praezaek ah oh, tiah thuih pae o.
2Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men on the rocks of the wild goats.
2To pongah Israel kaminawk thung hoi kami sang thumto a qoih moe, sathar ohhaih cathaeng ah David hoi anih taengah kaom kaminawk to pakrong hanah caeh o.
3He came to the sheep pens by the way, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were staying in the innermost parts of the cave.
3Tuu khongkha ohhaih ahmuen phak o naah loe, to ah thlungkhaw maeto a hnuk o; Saul loe to thlungkhaw thungah akunh moe, anghawk; David hoi anih ih kaminawk loe atlim ah kaom thlungkhaw thungah oh o.
4David’s men said to him, “Behold, the day of which the LORD said to you, ‘Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you.’” Then David arose and cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe secretly.
4David ih kaminawk mah, Khenah, hoih tiah na poek ih baktih toengah sak hanah, Angraeng mah na misa to na ban ah kang paek han, tiah thuih ih ni to phak boeh, tiah a naa o. To naah David mah angthawk duem moe, Saul ih kahni atom to aah pae pet.
5Afterward, David’s heart struck him because he had cut off Saul’s skirt.
5Akra ai ah oh pacoengah, David mah Sual ih kahni tom to aah pae pongah, poeknawm ai.
6He said to his men, “The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, the LORD’s anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, since he is the LORD’s anointed.”
6Angmah ih kaminawk khaeah, Angraeng mah situi bawh ih ka angraeng nuiah, hae tiah sak han om ai, anih loe Angraeng mah situi bawh ih kami ah oh pongah, a nuiah ban phok han ai ah, Angraeng mah pakaa nasoe, tiah a naa.
7So David checked his men with these words, and didn’t allow them to rise against Saul. Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.
7Saul to hum o han ai ah, hae lok hoiah David mah angmah ih kaminawk to thuitaek. Thlungkhaw thung hoi angthawk moe, Saul to caehtaak ving.
8David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave and cried after Saul, saying, “My lord the king!” When Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth, and showed respect.
8To pacoengah David loe thlungkhaw thung hoiah tacawt moe, Saul khaeah, ka angraeng, siangpahrang, tiah a kawk, Saul mah a hnukbangah khet naah, David loe long ah akuep tathuk.
9David said to Saul, “Why do you listen to men’s words, saying, ‘Behold, David seeks to harm you’?
9David mah Saul khaeah, Tipongah kaminawk mah, David mah nang hum hanah patoem, tiah thuih ih lok to na tang loe?
10Behold, today your eyes have seen how the LORD had delivered you today into my hand in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I spared you. I said, ‘I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD’s anointed.’
10Khenah, vaihniah Angraeng mah thlungkhaw thungah na hinghaih ka ban ah paek boeh, tiah a naa. Thoemto kaminawk mah nang hum hanah ang thuih o; toe kai mah ni nang hae kang pathlung; anih loe Angraeng mah situi bawh ih kami ah oh pongah, ka angraeng nuiah ban ka phok mak ai, tiah ka naa.
11Moreover, my father, behold, yes, see the skirt of your robe in my hand; for in that I cut off the skirt of your robe and didn’t kill you, know and see that there is neither evil nor disobedience in my hand. I have not sinned against you, though you hunt for my life to take it.
11Khenah kampa, na ban ih kahni tom hae khenah; nang ih kahni tom loe ka aah boeh; toe nang loe kang hum ai; ka sakpazae ih hmuen om ai moe, na nuiah doeh sakpazaehaih ka tawn ai; toe nang loe kai hum hanah nang pakrong.
12May the LORD judge between me and you, and may the LORD avenge me of you; but my hand will not be on you.
12Nang hoi kai salakah Angraeng mah lokcaek nasoe; ka nuiah na sak ih hmuen pongah Angraeng mah pathok nasoe; toe ka ban mah nang hae sui mak ai.
13As the proverb of the ancients says, ‘Out of the wicked comes wickedness;’ but my hand will not be on you.
13Canghni ih thuitaekhaih lok mah, Kasae thung hoiah ni sethaih to tacawt, tiah thuih ih lok to oh baktih toengah, ka ban mah nang to sui mak ai.
14Against whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom do you pursue? A dead dog? A flea?
14Israel siangpahrang loe mi tuk han ih maw angzoh? Mi maw na patom? Kadueh ui maw? Uithlinawk maw?
15May the LORD therefore be judge, and give sentence between me and you, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of your hand.”
15Angraeng loe nang hoi kai salakah lokcaekkung ah om nasoe; na khenzawn nasoe, kai kawng to poek nasoe loe, na ban thung hoiah na pahlong nasoe, tiah a naa.
16It came to pass, when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, “Is that your voice, my son David?” Saul lifted up his voice and wept.
16David mah Saul khaeah hae loknawk thuih pacoengah, Ka capa David, hae loe nang ih lok maw? tiah a naa. To pacoengah tha hoiah a qah.
17He said to David, “You are more righteous than I; for you have done good to me, whereas I have done evil to you.
17Anih mah Davih khaeah, Nang loe kai pongah na toeng kue; nang mah loe kahoih hmuen to nang paek; toe kai mah loe nang hanah kasae hmuen to kang paek lat.
18You have declared today how you have dealt well with me, because when the LORD had delivered me up into your hand, you didn’t kill me.
18Ka nuiah na sak ih kahoih hmuen vaihi nam tuengsak boeh; Angraeng mah kai hae na ban ah paek boeh, toe nang hum ai.
19For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away unharmed? Therefore may the LORD reward you good for that which you have done to me today.
19Kami maeto mah a misa to hnuk naah, loisak vai maw? Vaihniah ka nuiah na hoih pongah Angraeng mah tahamhoihaih na paek nasoe.
20Now, behold, I know that you will surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hand.
20Vaihiah khenah, Nang loe siangpahrang ah na om tih, Israel prae loe na ban ah angdoesak tih, tiah ka panoek.
21Swear now therefore to me by the LORD that you will not cut off my offspring after me, and that you will not destroy my name out of my father’s house.”
21Vaihiah Angraeng ih ahmin hoiah, Kai ih caanawk hae na tamit mak ai, kai ih ahmin doeh kampa imthung takoh hoiah ka phrae bit mak ai, tiah kai khaeah lokkamhaih sah ah, tiah a naa.
22David swore to Saul. Saul went home, but David and his men went up to the stronghold.
22To pongah David mah Saul khaeah lokkamhaih to sak. To pacoengah Saul loe im ah amlaem; toe David hoi anih ih kaminawk loe misa abuephaih thlugkhaw thungah caeh o tahang.
