1Now it came to pass one day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bore his armour, Come and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison which is on the other side. But he did not tell his father.
1Huan, hichi ahi a, ni khat bel Saula tapa Jonathanin a galvan tawipa tangval kiangah, kisa dih, gal langkhat Philistia mi galvil sepaihte omna ah I vahoh peuhmah ding, a chi a.
2And Saul abode at the extreme end of Gibeah under the pomegranate-tree which [was] in Migron; and the people that were with him were about six hundred men.
2Himahleh a pa a hilh kei. Huan, Saula bel Gibea gam tawp lam peka Migrona pomgranet thei kung nuaiah a om: huan, a kianga mi omte bel za guk hiam tak ahi uh:
3(And Ahijah the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, Jehovah's priest in Shiloh, wore the ephod.) And the people did not know that Jonathan was gone.
3Huan, Silo khuaa TOUPA siampu Eli tapa Phinehas tapa Ikabod unaupa Ahituba tapa Ahija bel siampu puannak silhin a om teia. Huan, Jonathan a hoh chih mipiten athei kei uh.
4Now between the passes by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines' garrison there was a sharp rock on the one side and a sharp rock on the other side; and the name of the one [was] Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
4Huan, Jonathanin Philistia mi galvil sepaihte omnaa hoh a tupna kuam leh kuam kikalah a lang tuaktuak ah suanpi sang a om a; a khat min Bozez ahia, a khat min bel Sene ahi.
5The one crag [formed] a pillar on the north opposite to Michmash, and the other on the south opposite to Geba.
5Suangpi sang khat pen Mikmas jawn mallam sanga om ahia, a dang khat pen Geba jawn simlam sanga om ahi.
6And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised: perhaps Jehovah will work for us; for there is no restraint to Jehovah to save by many or by few.
6Jonathanin a galvan tawipa tangval kiangah, kisa dih, zeksumlouh hon sepaihte omna ah I vahoh peuhmah ding; TOUPAN thil a hohhih sak kha mai deh; TOUPA adingin jaw a tam hiam, a tawm hiama hotdam bangmah nanna a om tuan ngal keia, a chi a.
7And his armour-bearer said to him, Do all that is in thy heart; turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.
7Huan, a galvan tawipan a kiangah, na lungsima om bangtakin hihin: ngaiin, na lungsim bang geih ka lungsim ahi, a chi a.
8Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will shew ourselves to them.
8Huchiin Jonathanin, kisain, a kiang uah I vahoh galkah dia, I va kimusak ding.
9If they say thus to us, Stand still until we come to you, then we will stay in our place, and will not go up to them.
9Huan, I kiang ua, na kiang ua ka hong matan uh nana om un, honchih uleh I mun ah I ding kinken dia, a kiang uah I hohtou kei ding.
10And if they say thus, Come up to us, then we will go up; for Jehovah has given them into our hand; and this shall be the sign to us.
10Ka kianglam uah hongtou un, a chih uleh bel I hohtou dia: TOUPAN I khut ah amaute a honpia chih eia dingin chiamtehna ahi ding, a chi a.
11And both of them shewed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.
11Huan, a nih un Philistia mi galvil sepaihte a va kimusak ua: Huan, Philistiaten, en dih uh, Hebru mite a bukna leikohawm akipanin a hongpawt uh, a chi ua.
12And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armour-bearer and said, Come up to us, and we will shew you something. And Jonathan said to his armour-bearer, Come up after me; for Jehovah has delivered them into the hand of Israel.
12Huan, galvil sepaihte omnaa miten Jonathan leh a galvan tawipa, hongtou unla, thil banghiam kon na ensak ding uh, chiin a nasam ua, huan, Jonathanin a galvan tawipa kiangah, honjui tou dih aw; TOUPAN amaute Israelte khut ah a peta hi, achia.
13And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armour-bearer after him; and they fell before Jonathan; and his armour-bearer slew after him.
13Huchiin Jonathan a khut leh a khe panin a kal tou a, galvan tawipan a juia; huan, amau bel Jonathan maah a puk zungzung ua, a galvan tawipan a honthat behlap jel hi.
14And that first slaughter which Jonathan and his armour-bearer wrought was about twenty men, as it were on the half-furrow of an acre of land.
14Huchiin Jonathan leh a galvan tawipan a thah masak pen tung un tin kimkhat mun hiam khawng ding ah mi sawmnih hiam tak a that uhi.
15And there was trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison, and the ravagers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked; for it was a trembling [from] God.
15Huan, giahmuna mi, gamlak mi, mipi tengteng a ling ua; huan, galvil sepaihte leh lokmite leng a ling sam ua; huan, jin a ling a; huchiin nakpiin linna a om hi.
16And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on slaying one another.
16Huan, Benjamin gam Gibea Saula galvil miten a en vialvial ua, ngai in, mipiten a zulin a zulkhe zungzung ua, khatlam khatlam ah a kiphu mawimawi uh.
17Then said Saul to the people that were with him, Muster now, and see who is gone from us. And they mustered, and behold, Jonathan and his armour-bearer were not there.
17Huchiin Saulain a kianga mipi omte kiangah, tuin kisim unla, kuate ahia kimlou hong ki en dih ua, a chi a. Huan, a hong kisim ua leh, ngaiin, Jonathan leh a galvan tawipa a na omta kei uh.
18And Saul said to Ahijah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel.
18Huan, Saulain Ahija kiangah, Pathian bawm vala dih, a chi a. Huailaiin Pathian bawm Israel suante kianga om ahi.
19And it came to pass while Saul talked to the priest, that the noise which was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased; and Saul said to the priest, Withdraw thy hand.
19Huan, hichi ahi a, Saulain siampu a houpih laitakin Philistia mite giahmun lama buai jakna a uang sema; huan, Saulain siampu kiangah, na khut kaikikin, a chi a.
20And Saul and all the people that were with him were called together, and they came to the battle; and behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, a very great confusion.
20Huchiin Saula leh a kianga mipi om tengteng a pai khawm ua, kidouna ah a hohta uh; huan, ngaiin, amau leh amau namsauin a kisualta ek ua, huchiin apumin a pum buaita uh.
21And there were Hebrews with the Philistines before that time, who had gone up with them into the camp round about; and they also [turned] to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
21Huchiin huailai gam khawnga mi giahmuna va hohtou tei, tumalama Philistiate lama pang Hebru mite leng Saula leh Jonathan kianga om Israel mite lamah a hongpang nawnta uh.
22And all the men of Israel who had hid themselves in mount Ephraim heard that the Philistines fled, and they also followed hard after them in the battle.
22Huchimahbangin Ephraim tang gama Israel mi bute tengteng in leng Philistia mite a tai mang uh chih na ja ua, amau leng kidounaa pang samin a delhjui jel ua.
23And Jehovah saved Israel that day; and the battle passed over beyond Beth-Aven.
23Huchiin TOUPAN huai niin Israelte a humbitta hi; huan, Beth-haven phain a sual uh.
24But the men of Israel were distressed that day. Now Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth food until evening, and [until] I am avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted food.
24Huan, huai niin Israel mite a dah ua; himahleh Saulain, I melmate uh tunga phu ka laka, nitaklam a hih maa kuapeuhin an a nek leh hamsia thuak hen, chiin mipite a vau hi. Huchiin kuamahin an himhim a chep leng achiam het kei uh.
25And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey on the ground.
25Huan, mipi tengteng gamnuai a vatung ua, leiah khuaiju khawng a naoma.
26And the people had come into the wood, and behold, the honey flowed; but no man put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.
26Huan, mipiin gamnuai a vatun un ngai in, khuaiju khawng a na luanga; himahleh kuamah in a pik kei uh; mipiten lah hamsia a kihta ua.
27But Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people; and he put forth the end of his staff which was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth, and his eyes became bright.
27Himahleh Jonathanin a pan mipite hamsiaa a vaulai a theikeia; huchiin a mithah a hongtelta hi.
28Then answered one of the people and said, Thy father strictly adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth food this day; and the people are faint.
28Huchiin mipi laka mi khatin a houpiha, Na pan jaw mipite, Tunia an ne peuhmah hamse thuakin om heh, chiin a honvau bikbeka, mipite leng a bah mahmah him uh, a chi a.
29And Jonathan said, My father has troubled the land: see, I pray you, that mine eyes are bright, because I tasted a little of this honey.
29Huchiin Jonathanin, Ka pan mite dahsak lel jaw eive; en ta unla, khuaiju tawmchik ka chep jiak lela ka mit hah a hongtel tak dan.
30How much more, if the people had eaten freely to-day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for would there not now have been a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?
30Mipiten a gallak thiluh a muh peuhpeuh uh tuniin a utut uh ne thei ngial le uh houh nak thupi chi na tel ei huaijiakin Philistia mite nakpia thah theihlouh loh I hi ve ua, a chi a.
31And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Ajalon; and the people were very faint.
31Huchiin huai niin Mikmas akipanin Aijalon tanin Philistia mite a sual ua; huan, mipite a bah mahmah uhi.
32And the people fell on the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slaughtered them on the ground; and the people ate [them] with the blood.
32Huchiin mipiten a gallak thil uh a bohin a boh ua, belam khawng, hawngtal khawng, bawngnoute a man ua, leiah a hihlum ua, mipiten a sisan toh a neta uhi.
33And they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against Jehovah, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have acted perversely: roll me now a great stone.
33Huchiin, ngaiin, mipiten sisan toh nein TOUPA tungah thil a hihkhialta uh, chiin Saula a hilh uh. Huan, aman, lepchiah takin thil na hih uh ahi; tuhiin suang lianpi honkhuk sak un, a chi a.
34And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, Bring near to me every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slaughter them here, and eat; and sin not against Jehovah in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slaughtered [them] there.
34Huan, Saulain, mipi lakah vak jak vek unla, a kiang uah, mi chihin a bawng leh a belam ka kiangah honla henla, hiaiah honggou uhenla, ne uhen; a sisan toh ne a TOUPA tunga thil hihkhial louin, a chi hi, va chi un, a chi a. Huan, huai janin mi tengtengin amau bawngtal a honkai chiat ua, huaiah a gou ua.
35And Saul built an altar to Jehovah: this was the first altar he built to Jehovah.
35Huan, Saulain TOUPA adingin maitam a bawla; huai bel TOUPA adia maitam a bawl masak pen ahi.
36And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and plunder them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever is good in thy sight. Then said the priest, Let us come near hither to God.
36Huan, Saulain, janchiangin Philistia mite vasual unla, jing khovak tanin I lok ding uh, kuamah himhim I hawi kei ding uh, a chi a. Huan, amau, hoih nasak peuhmah hih in, a chi ua, Siampu in bel, hiaiah Pathian I juan peuhmah tadih ding uh, a chi a.
37And Saul inquired of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou give them into the hand of Israel? But he did not answer him that day.
37Huan, Saulain Pathian a dong a, Philistia mite ka va sual diam? Israelte khut ah na pe diam? A chi a. Himahleh huai niin a dawng kei.
38And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the heads of the people; and know and see wherein this sin has been this day.
38Huan, Saulain, nou mipi heutu tengteng hong nai dih ua: tuniin a koipen ah ahia I hihkhelh uh theihkhiak tum dih ua.
39For, [as] Jehovah liveth, who has saved Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall certainly die. And no one answered him among all the people.
39Isrealte hondam sekpa TOUPA hinna louin ka gen hi, ka tapa Jonathanin thilhih ah leng nahita leh a sih ngeingei ding ahi, a chi a. Himahleh mipi laka mi kuamah a dawng himhim a om kei uh.
40Then said he to all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do what is good in thy sight.
40Huchiin Israelte tengteng kiangah, noute a tuamah omkhawm unla, huan, kei leh ka tapa Jonathanin a tuamah ka om ding uh, a chi a. Huan, mipiten Saula kiangah, hoih na sak bangbang in hih in, a chi ua.
41And Saul said to Jehovah the God of Israel, Give a perfect [testimony]! And Jonathan and Saul were taken, and the people escaped.
41Huchiin Saulain TOUPA Israelte Pathian kiangah, a dik tak hon hihlangin, a chi a, Huan, aisan pen Jonathan leh Saula tungah a puka; mipite bel a hul uh.
42And Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.
42Huan, Saulain, kei leh ka tapa kikalah aisan uh, a chi a. Huchiin Jonathan tungah a puk a.
43And Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him and said, With the end of the staff which is in my hand I tasted a little honey, [and] behold, I must die!
43HuchiinSaulain Jonathan kiangah, Bang ahia na hih hon hilh dih ve, a chi a. Huan, Jonathanin a hilh a, ka chiang tawi mongin khuaiju neuchik ka na chiam na hi; ngaiin, ka sih ding mah ahi. A chi a.
44And Saul said, God do so [to me] and more also; thou shalt certainly die, Jonathan.
44Huan, Saulain, Pathianin a hihhihin hi mai henla, huai sangin thupijaw inleng: na sih mahmah ding ahi, Jonathan, a chi a.
45And the people said to Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who has wrought this great salvation in Israel? Far be it! [as] Jehovah liveth, there shall not a hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has wrought with God this day. So the people delivered Jonathan, that he died not.
45Huan, mipiten Saula kiangah, Israelte laka hiai hotdamna thupi mahmah hihpa Jonathan a si dia maw? si lou hial ding: TOUPA hinna louin ka chi uh, a samzang khat leng lei ah a ke het kei ding; tuniin Pathian a seppih ahi, a chi ua. Huchiin mipiin Jonathan si lou dingin a humbitta uh.
46And Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.
46Huchiin Saulain Philistia mite a delh lai a kiksanta: huan, Philistia mite amau om mun lamah a paita uh.
47And Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines; and whithersoever he turned himself, he discomfited [them].
47Huchia Saula Israelte tunga vaihawmpaa a pan leh ning tengah a melma, Moabte, Ammon suante, Edomte, Zob kumpipate, Philistia mite a dou a: a kiheina lam peuhpeuh a zou jeljel hi.
48And he did valiantly, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of their spoilers.
48Hang takin a suala, Amalek mite a zou a, Israelte amaute lokmite khut akipan a honkhia hi.
49And the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Jishvi, and Malchi-shua. And the names of his two daughters: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.
49Saula tapate bel Jonathan te, Isvi ta, Malkisu te ahi ua; huan, a tanute nih min hiaite ahi; a upazaw min Merab ahia, a naupang jaw min Mikal ahi:
50And the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz; and the name of the captain of his host was Abner, the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.
50Huan, Saula ji min bel Ahinaom, Ahimaz tanu ahi. Huan, a sepaihte heutu min Abner, Saula pangak Ner tapa ahi.
51And Kish the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner were sons of Abiel.
51Huan, Kis bel Saul pa ahia; huan, Abner pa Nar bel Abiel tapa ahi.Huchiin Saula damsung tengtengin Philistia mite toh nakpi tak maia kidou sek ahi uh: huan, Saulain mi hat hiam, mi bang hiam a muh peuhmah a la jeljel hi.
52And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man, or any valiant man, he took him to himself.
52Huchiin Saula damsung tengtengin Philistia mite toh nakpi tak maia kidou sek ahi uh: huan, Saulain mi hat hiam, mi bang hiam a muh peuhmah a la jeljel hi.
