1And Samuel died; and all Israel were gathered together, and lamented him; and they buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
1Huan, Samuel a sita; huan, Israel mi tengeng a kisam khawm ua, a kah uh. Rama khuaa a in ah a vui uh. Huan, David a thou a, Paran gamdai ah a hoh suk hi.
2And there was a man at Maon, whose business was at Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats; and he was shearing his sheep at Carmel.
2Maon khua ah mi khat a oma, a neihlelam Karmel tangah a om hi; mi thupi tak ahia, belam sang thum leh kel sang a nei a: Karmel tangah a belam mul a meta.
3And the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail; and the woman was of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance; but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was a Calebite.
3Huai mi min Nabal ahi; a ji min Abigail ahi: huai numei bel teitak mel hoihtak ahia; pasalpen bel chihhak tak leh gilou tak ahi a; Kaleb suan ahi.
4And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
4Huan, Davidin gamdai akipanin nabalin a belam mul a met chih a naja a.
5Then David sent out ten young men; and David said to the young men, Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.
5Huchiin Davidin tangval sawm a sawla, tangvalte kiang Davidin, Karmel tangah vahohtou unla, huan, Nabal kiangah hoh unla ka minin chibai vabuk un:
6And thus shall ye say: Long life [to thee]! and peace be to thee, and peace be to thy house, and peace be to all that thou hast!
6Huan, mi neizoupa kiangah hichiin honchi un; nang tungah, na inkuante tungah, na neih tengteng tungah khamuanna om hen.
7And now I have heard that thou hast shearers; now thy shepherds who were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there aught missed by them, all the while they were in Carmel.
7Na belam mul metmite a om uh chih ka najaa: na belam chingmite ka kiangah a om sek ua, a poi uh bangmah ka khoih kei ua, Karmel tanga a om sung himhim un bangmah a tan kei uh.
8Ask thy young men, and they will tell thee. Therefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes; for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, what thy hand may find to thy servants, and to thy son David.
8Na tangvalte dong lechin a honhilh mai ding uh: huchiin hiai tangvalte na na hehpihin: a kilawmni taka hong ka hi uh; na neih bangbang na sikhate leh na tapa David na nape dih ve a chi vachi un, a chi a.
9And David's young men came, and spoke to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.
9Huan, David tangvalte a vatun un Davidin minin huai thu tengteng Nabal kiangah a gen ua, a daihsan uh.
10And Nabal answered David's servants and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there are many servants now-a-days that break away every man from his master.
10Huan, Nabalin David sikhate a donga, David kua ahia oi? Jesai tapa kua ahia oi? Tulaiin sikha tampi pute taimang san a tam ua.
11And shall I take my bread, and my water, and my flesh which I have killed for my shearers, and give [it] to men whom I know not whence they are?
11Ka tanghou te, ka tui te leh ka belam mul metmite adia ka goh kuate ahi ua chih leng theih louhte ka pe mahmah dia hia? a chi a.
12And David's young men turned their way, and went back, and came and reported to him according to all those words.
12Huchiin David tangvalte a kihei ua, a kik nawn ua; huai thute tengteng a honghilh uh.
13And David said to his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword; and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the baggage.
13Huan, Davidin a mite kiangah, na namsau uh kuah chiat un, a chi a. Huan, a namsau uh a kuah chiat ua; Davidin leng a namsau a kuaha, mi za li takin David a jui tou ua; huan, mi za nih van vengin a om ua.
14And one of [Nabal's] young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to bless our master; and he has insulted them.
14Huan, tangval khatin Nabal ji Abigail kiangah, ngai in, Davidin gamdai akipanin ka pu uh chibai buk dingin mi a honsawla, aman a na sala.
15And the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we anything, as long as we companied with them, when we were in the fields.
15Himahleh huaite lah ka tunguah a hoih mahmah ua, ka poi uh bangmah a khoih kei ua, gamlaka ka om lai ua ka om khawm sung tengteng uh bangmah ka tan kei uh:
16They were a wall to us both by night and day, all the while we were with them feeding the sheep.
16Belam chinga a kiang ua ka om sung tengteng un sun leh jan kou adingin kulh ahi mai uh.
17And now know and consider what thou wilt do, for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household; and he is such a son of Belial, that one cannot speak to him.
17Huaijiakin bang ahia na hih sin hoihtakin ngaihtuah dih ve; ka pu uh tungah leh a inkuante tengteng tungah thil hoihlou hih tum a om uhi; amah lah a Belial tapa mahmaha, kuamah houpih theih lah ahi ngal keia, chiin a gen ua.
18And Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two skin-bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched [corn], and a hundred raisin-cakes, and two hundred fig-cakes, and laid them on asses.
18Huan, Abigailin kintakin tanghou beu za nih toh, uain thawl nih toh, belam nga huan dia mansa sipsip toh, vaimim kan buk nga toh, grep gah phou keu bawk ja toh, theipi beu za nih toh a la khawma, sabengtung posak hi.
19And she said to her young men, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she did not tell her husband Nabal.
19Huan, a sikha tangvalte kiangah, ka maah na pai jel unla, ngai un, ka honjui ding, a chi a. Himahleh a pasal nabal a hilh kei.
20And as she was riding on the ass, and coming down by the covert of the hill, behold, David and his men came down opposite to her; and she met them.
20Huchiin hichibang ahi a, a sabengtung tunga a tuana, tang sang sing laka a pai suk laiin, ngai in, David leh a miten a honjuan ua; huchiin a kituak uh.
21Now David had said, Surely, in vain have I kept all that this [man] had in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that was his; and he has requited me evil for good.
21Davidin, a bangmah a mansak louhna dingin gamdai ah hiai mipa neih tengteng a thawn lelin ka naven sak a nahi mahmah ve; thil hoih lah thil hoihlouin a hondinta mai ngala.
22So and more also do God to the enemies of David, if I leave of all that is his by the morning light any male.
22Jingchiang jingsang khovak phaa amaha tengteng laka pasal naupang khat kia lel leng ka hawi peuhmah leh Pathianin David melmate a lohloh loh heh, huai sanga thupijawin leng hih hen, a chita ngala.
23And when Abigail saw David, she hasted and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,
23Huan, Abigailin David a muhin a sabengtung akipan a kum suk zoka, David maia lei siin chibai a buk a.
24and fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, [upon] me let the iniquity be; but let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine ears, and hear the words of thy handmaid.
24Huan, a khebulah a khupboha, keimahin, pu aw, keimah mahin thulimlouhna ka khu ding, huan, na sikhanuin na bila jakah thu gen henla na sikhanu thugen hehpihtakin ngaihkhiak sakin.
25Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, Nabal; for as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; and I thy handmaid did not see the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.
25Pu aw, Belial mi Nabal bangmahin sim ken; a min bangbang ahi geih hi; Nabal a hina maha, a hai ahi; kei na sikhanuin jaw ka pu honsawl tangvalte ka na mukha kei hi.
26And now, my lord, [as] Jehovah liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, seeing Jehovah has restrained thee from coming with bloodshed, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
26Huaijiakin tuin pu aw, TOUPA hinna leh na hinna louin ka gen hi, ka mu mahmah kei hi, TOUPAN sisan suah lou ding leh na khuta phu la lou dingin lah nang honbawl ngala, na melmate leh ka pu hoihlouhna zongmite Nabal bang hi mai uhen.
27And now this blessing which thy bondmaid has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men that follow my lord.
27Huan, hiai ka pu adia na sikhain kipahman ka hontawi ka pu honjui tangvalte piak hi hen.
28I pray thee, forgive the transgression of thy handmaid: for Jehovah will certainly make my lord a lasting house; because my lord fights the battles of Jehovah, and evil has not been found in thee all thy days.
28Na sikhanu tatlekna hehpihtakin ngaidamin; TOUPAN ka pu innkuan kiptak dingin a phut ngeingei dia, ka pu lah TOUPA kidounate dou ahi ngala; na damsung tengin nangmah gitlouhna himhim muh ding a om kei ding.
29And if a man is risen up to pursue thee and to seek thy life, the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living with Jehovah thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out from the hollow of the sling.
29Nang hondelh ding leh na hinna hihmang dingin mite hong kisa mahle uh, ka pu hinna jaw TOUPA na Pathian toh hinna gak laka gak ahi dinga; na melmate hinna bel vaisuanglot kuanga lot bangin a lawn mang ding.
30And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah shall do to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning thee, and shall appoint thee ruler over Israel,
30Huan, hichi ahi dinga, TOUPAN na tungtang thua a thil hoih achiam bang teng ka pu tunga a hih chianga Israelte kumpipa ding a a honbawl chiangin,
31that this shall be no stumbling-block to thee, nor offence of heart for my lord, either that thou hast shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. And when Jehovah shall deal well with my lord, then remember thy handmaid.
31Ajiak om loua sisan na suah louha, ka puin phu na lak louh nanga dingin lungkhamna himhim ahi kei dinga, ka pu adingin leng lungkimlouhna hi him ahi sam kei ding; huan, TOUPAN ka pu tunga thil hoih a hih hun chiangin na sikhanu thei gigein, a chi a.
32And David said to Abigail, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me.
32Huan, davidin Abigail kiangah, tunia kei honna dawn dinga honsawlpa TOUPA, Israelte Pathian phatin om hen:
33And blessed be thy discernment, and blessed be thou, who hast kept me this day from coming with bloodshed, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.
33Huan, na lemtheihna vualjawlin om henla, huan, nang sisan suah mohna akipana hon humnu leh keimah khuta phu la lou dinga honbawlnu leng vualjawlin om hen.
34But indeed, as Jehovah the God of Israel liveth, who has restrained me from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light any male.
34Kei hondawn dinga hongpawtkhe pah lou hilechin TOUPA, Israelte Pathian hinna louin ka gen hi, jingchiang khovak phain Nabal tuh naupang khat lel leng ka hawisak het kei ding, a chi a.
35So David received of her hand what she had brought him, and said to her, Go up in peace to thy house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.
35Huchiin Davidin a thil hontawite a laa: huan, a kiangah, lungmuang takin na in lamah pai tou ta inla; huan, na thu ka mang hi, na nget pen ka honsan sak hi, a chi a.
36And Abigail came to Nabal; and behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was drunken to excess; so she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
36Huan, Abigail bel Nabal kiangah a hoh toua, huan, ngaiin, a in ah kumpipa ankuanglui bang maiin ankuang a naluia, a kham mahmah jiakin Nabal bel a maitai ngial hi: huaijiakin ajingsang khovak masiah bangmah a hilh kei hi.
37And it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things; and his heart died within him, and he became [as] a stone.
37Huan, hichi ahi a, jinglama Nabal uain kham a halh in a jiin huai thute a hilha, a lung a dai duaka, suang bangin a hong omta hi.
38And it came to pass in about ten days that Jehovah smote Nabal, and he died.
38Huan, hichi ahi a, ni sawm nungin TOUPAN Nabal tungah khut a kha a, a sita hi.
39And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be Jehovah, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil; but Jehovah has returned Nabal's evil upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her as his wife.
39Huan, Davidin Nabala a si chih a jakin, ka minsiatna dinga Nabal thilhih akipana hon genpiha, a sikha thil hoihlou hih lou honkhampa TOUPA phatin om hen; Nabal thil hoihlou hih TOUPAN amah tung mahah a kesak ta hi, a chi a. Huan, Davidin Abigail a ji dinga vahoupih dingin mi a sawla.
40And the servants of David came to Abigail to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying, David has sent us to thee, to take thee as his wife.
40Huan, David sikhaten Karmel tanga Abigail kiang a tun touh un, Davidin a ji dinga nang honpi dingin a honsawl, chiin amah a houpih ua.
41And she arose and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thy handmaid be a bondwoman to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
41Huan, a thou a, a maia lei siin chibai a buka, ngaidih ua, na sikhanu uh ka pu sikhate khe sil dinga sikha ka hi, a chi a.
42And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
42Huchiin Abigail a thou zoka, sabengtung tungah a tuanga, a nungjui nungak ngate toh David mi sawlte a jui ua, a jiin a omta hi.
43David had also taken Ahinoam of Jizreel; and they became, even both of them, his wives.
43Davidin Jezreela mi Ahinaom leng a napikhina; huchiin a ji dingin a om tuaktuak uh.Saulain lah a tanu Mikal David ji Galim khuaa mi Lais tapa Palti toh a na kitengsakta a.
44But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
44Saulain lah a tanu Mikal David ji Galim khuaa mi Lais tapa Palti toh a na kitengsakta a.
