¹Huchiin Saulain a tapa Jonathan leh David a sikha tengteng kiangah David that un a chi a.

¹And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David.

²Himahleh Saula tapa Jonathanin David a deihthoh mahmah. Huchiin Jonathanin David, ka pa Saulain thah a hon tum; huaijiakin jingchiangin jingsangin pilvang inla mun guk ah bu nilouhin:

²But Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:

³Huan, ka pawt khe dinga, na omna gam lakah ka pa kiangah ka va ding dinga, na tungtang thu ah ka pa ka houpih ding; huan, banghiam ka theih leh ka hon hilh ding, a chi a.

³And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will commune with my father of thee; and what I see, that I will tell thee.

⁴Huan, Jonathanin a pa Saula maah David a phat, a kiangah, kumpipa a sikha tungah, David tungah khial hetkei heh; na tungah lah a khial keia, a thilhihte lah nanga dia hoih pipi ahi zo ngala:

⁴And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been to thee-ward very good:

⁵Sih khawksa louin Philistia mi a suala, huan, TOUPAN Israel tengteng hotdamna thupitak a sepkhiak saka; huai lah nang ngeiin leng na mu a, na kipak mahmah a; huaijiakin sisan poi khoihlou tungah bangding mahmahin ahia na khelh ding, a jiak bangmah om loua David na thah ding? a chi a.

⁵For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?

⁶Huchiin Saulain Jonathan thugen a jui. Saulain kichiamin, TOUPA hinna louin ka gen hi, amah hihlup ding ahi hetkei, a chi a.

⁶And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain.

⁷Huan, Jonathanin David a sama, Jonathanin huai thil tengteng a hilha. Huan, Jonathanin David Saula kiangah a pi a, tumalam bangmahin a kiangah a om nawnta hi.

⁷And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.

⁸Huan, kidouna a hongom nawn a: huchiin David a kuankhia a, Philistia mite a va suala, a va that ek a, a maah a taikek uh.

⁸And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled from him.

⁹Huan, Saula bel a ina teipi tawia a tut laiin TOUPA sawl dawi a tungah a hongtunga; huan, Davidin kaihging a tuma.

⁹And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand.

¹⁰Huan, Saulain a teipiin David bang toh khoh den a tuma; himahleh Saula kiang akipan a kitholh khe geiha, teipi pen bangah a khohtal vengvung phet a huan, David a tai khiaa, huai janin a bit hi.

¹⁰And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin: but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.

¹¹Huan, Saulain David lama jingsanga na tanga nathat dingin mi a sawla: huan, David ji Mikalin, tujana na hinna na humbit kei leh jingchiangin a hon that ding uhi, chiin a hilha.

¹¹Saul also sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David's wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to night, to morrow thou shalt be slain.

¹²Huchiin Mikalin David tohlet ah a khaikhe suka; huchiin a taimang a, a bit ta hi.

¹²So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.

¹³Huan, Mikalin milim a laa, lupna ah a lumsaka, huan, a lamah kel mul lukham a koiha, puanin a khuh hi.

¹³And Michal took an image, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster, and covered it with a cloth.

¹⁴Huan, David pi dinga Saulain mi a hon sawlin, a chi a na, a nachi a.

¹⁴And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.

¹⁵Huan, Saulain David va en dingin mi a sawla, a lupna toh hon jawng tou le uchin ka na that ding, a chi a.

¹⁵And Saul sent the messengers again to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.

¹⁶Huan, a mi sawlte a va lut uleh ngaiin, lupna ah milim a lu lama kel mul lukham khamin a na oma.

¹⁶And when the messengers were come in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster.

¹⁷Huan, Saulain Mikal kiangah, bangdia hichibanga hon khema, bitna dinga ka melma pawtsak? A chi a. Huan, Mikalin Saula a dawnga, hon paisakin, bangdingin nang kon hihlum dia? Honchi a ka hia? a chi a.

¹⁷And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill thee?

¹⁸Huchiin David a tai manga, a bitta a, Rama khua ah Samuel kiang a va tunga, a tunga Saula thilhih tengteng a va hilh hi. Huan, amah leh Samuel a kuan ua, Naioth ah a om uh.

¹⁸So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.

¹⁹Huan, Saula bel, ngaiin, Rama khuaa Naioth ah David a om, chiin a hilh ua.

¹⁹And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.

²⁰Huchiin David pi dingin Saula in mi a sawla; huan jawlnei pawlte lasak lai leh Samuel a tung ua heutua om a va muh un Saula mi sawlte tungah Pathian kha a hongtunga, amau leng la a sata uhi.

²⁰And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.

²¹Huan, huai Saula a hilh ua leh, mi dang a sawl nawna, amau leng la a va sa tei sam ua. Huan, Saulain a thumveina dingin mi a sawl nawna, amau leng la a va sa sam ua.

²¹And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.

²²Huchiin amah leng Rama khua ah a vahoha, huan Seku muna tuileh za mahmah a vaphaa, Samuel leh David koia om ahi ua? A chi a, a dong a. Huan, kuahiamin, ngai in, rama khuaa Naioth ah a om uh, a chi a.

²²Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah.

²³Huchiin Rama khuaa Naioth ah a hoha; huan, pathian kha a tungah a hongtung sam taa, a pai jela, Rama khuaa Naioth a tun tan in la a sa jela.Huan, aman leng a puansilhte a suah sama, Samuel maah la a saa, huai ni nitum leh huai jan jankhuain vuaktangin a luma. Huaijiakin, Saula leng jawlnei laka tel tei ahi maw? chih a ching tawntung uh.

²³And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.

²⁴Huan, aman leng a puansilhte a suah sama, Samuel maah la a saa, huai ni nitum leh huai jan jankhuain vuaktangin a luma. Huaijiakin, Saula leng jawlnei laka tel tei ahi maw? chih a ching tawntung uh.

²⁴And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?
