¹And the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek; and Israel encamped by the spring that is in Jizreel.

¹Huchiin Philistia miten a sepaih tengteng uh Aphek ah a kaikhawm vek ua; huan, Israel miten Jezreela tuikhuk kiangah panmun a bawl uh.

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.

²Huan, Philistiate kumpipate bel aja jain, asang sangin a pai ngonngon maimah ua. Huan, David leh a miten Akis toh nung a dal uh.

³And the princes of the Philistines said, What are these Hebrews? And Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or these years, and I have found nothing in him since the day of his falling away [to me] to this day?

³Huchiin Philistia kumpipaten, hiai Hebruten bang ahia a hih uh? A chi ua. Akisin Philistia kumpipa kiangah, hiai David Israelte kumpipa Saula sikha, hichi tana ka kianga omkhina, ka kianga a honglut nunga lah tu tana leng a diklouhna ka muhlouhna pa ahi kei maw? a chi a.

⁴But the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistines said to him, Make the man return, that he may go again to his place where thou hast appointed him, that he go not down with us to the battle, that in the battle he be not an adversary to us; for wherewith should this [fellow] reconcile himself to his master? should it not be with the heads of these men?

⁴Himahleh Philistia kumpipate a tungah a heh ua; Philistia kumpipaten a kiangah, huai mi na mun seh saka pai dingin kiksak inla kidouna ah I kiangah hongsuk kei heh; huchilouinjaw kidouna ah I melma lamah a pang kha ding: hiai mite lu dingin hiai mipa leh a pu kilem nawn kha ve un teh aw?

⁵Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul smote his thousands, and David his ten thousands?

⁵Hiai David mah ahi kei maw lam kawma, Saulain a sanga sang a that, Davidin a singa sing, chia a tungtang thu laa a sak uh? A chi ua.

⁶And Achish called David, and said to him, [As] Jehovah liveth, thou art upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the camp is acceptable to me; for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming to me to this day; but thou art not acceptable to the lords.

⁶Huchiin Akisin David a sama a kiangah, TOUPA hinna louin ka gen, mi dik mahmah na nahia, sepaihte laka ka kianga na kuan leh na hong sekte ka mitmuhin a hoih mahmaha; ka kianga na hong ni akipan tuni tanin na tungah bangmah hoihlouhna himhim ka mu het kei hi: hitamahleh kumpipaten a hon ngai kei uhi.

⁷And now return, and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines.

⁷Huaijiakin Philistia kumpipate na hihlungkimlouh louhna dingin kik nawn inla, lungkim takin paita in, a chi a.

⁸And David said to Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been with thee to this day, that I should not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?

⁸Huan, Davidin Akis kiangah, Ahihleh, bang thil ahia ka na hih? Na kianga ka om sung tengin tuni tanin, ka toupa kumpipa melma dou loua ka kik nawn maimah ding na sikha tungah bang na mua ahia oi? A chi a.

⁹And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou art acceptable to me, as an angel of God; nevertheless the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle.

⁹Huan, Akisin a dawnga, David kiangah, Ka mitmuhin Pathian angel bangin na hoih chih ka thei hi; himahleh Philistia kumpipaten, Kidouna ah I kiangah a hong tei kei ding, a chi bikbek mawk uh.

¹⁰And now rise up early in the morning with thy master's servants that are come with thee; and rise ye early in the morning, and when ye have daylight, depart.

¹⁰Huaijiakin na kianga om na pu sikhate toh jingkhangin thou unla: huan, jingkhanga na thoh ua khua a vak takin pai un, a chi a.Huchiin David leh a mite Philistia gama kik nawn ding in jingsangin pawtkhe dingin a thouta uh. Huan, Philistia mite bel Jezreel ah a hoh tou uhi.

¹¹And 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 Jizreel.

¹¹Huchiin David leh a mite Philistia gama kik nawn ding in jingsangin pawtkhe dingin a thouta uh. Huan, Philistia mite bel Jezreel ah a hoh tou uhi.
