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

¹Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek: and the Israelites pitched by a fountain which is in Jezreel.

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

²And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands: but David and his men passed on in the rearward with Achish.

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.

³Then said the princes of the Philistines, What do these Hebrews here? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, which hath been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell unto me unto this day?

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?

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

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.

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

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.

⁶Then Achish called David, and said unto him, Surely, as the LORD liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host is good in my sight: for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless the lords favor thee not.

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

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

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.

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

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.

⁹And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou art good in my sight, as an angel of God: notwithstanding the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle.

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.

¹⁰Wherefore now rise up early in the morning with thy master's servants that are come with thee: and as soon as ye be up early in the morning, and have light, depart.

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.

¹¹So David and his men rose up early to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
