1Huan, hichi ahi a, Saula sihnung in David Amalekte sim a hongkik a, David Ziklag khua a ni nih a om nung in;
1Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;
2Hichi ahi a, a ni thum ni in ngai in, mikhat a panmun ua kipan Saula kiang apat in a puante botkek in a lu a lei kai niaunuau a hongpai a;
2It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.
3Huan, David kiang a hongtun in lei a khupboh in chibai a buk. Huan, David in a kiang ah, Koi a kipan a hongpai na hia? a chi a; huan, aman a kiang ah, Israel mite panmun akipan a hong taikhia ka hi, a chi a.
3And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
4Huan, David in a kiang ah, Bangchi bang in thil a om a? hon hilh dih ve, a chi a. Aman a dawng a, Kidouna a kipan mite a taikek ua, mi tampi a puk ua, a si uh; huan, Saula leh a tapa Jonathan te leng a si tuaktuak uh, a chi a.
4And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.
5Huan, David in amah hilhpa tangval kiang ah, Bangchi in ahia Saula leh a tapa Jonathan asih uh na theih? a chi a.
5And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?
6Huan, a hilhpa tangval in, Bangchi chi hiam in Gilboa tang ah ka na omkha zenzen a, huan, ngai in, Saula a teipi ngai a ding ka mu a, huan, kangtalaite leh sakol tungtuang miten a hon naihta ua.
6And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
7Huan, a nunglam a ngat leh a hon mu a, a honsam a. Huan, ken, Hiai ah ka om hi, chi in ka dawng a.
7And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I.
8Huchi in, ka kiang ah, Kua na hia? a hon chi a. Huan, ken, Amalek mi ka hi, chi in ka dawng hi.
8And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.
9Huan, aman ka kiang ah, Ka kiang ah hong ding inla hong that mai dih, ka hinglai vanglak a, lungdonna in lah a hon manta ngal a, a chi a.
9He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life is yet whole in me.
10Huchi in a kiang ah ka dingta, huchia puk gawp khinsa a dam zou nawn samsam kei ding chih ka theih ziak in ka thatta mai hi, a lu a lallukhu leh a ban a tau ka la a, ka pu kiang ah ka hon tawi hi, a chi a.
10So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord.
11Huchi in David in a puansilhte a botkekta; huchibang mah in a kiang a mi om tengteng in ahih uh:
11Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:
12Huchi in Saula leh a tapa Jonathan leh TOUPA mite leh Israel inkuante a sun ua, a kah ua, nitaklam tan in an a ngawl ua, namsau a hihlup ahih ziak un.
12And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
13Huan, David in amah hilhpa tangval kiang ah, Koilam mi na hia? a chi a.
13And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.
14Huan, aman, Gamdang mi, Amalek mi tapa ka hi, a chi a, a dawng a. Huan, David in a kiang ah, TOUPA sathau nilh hihmang ding a tung a khutkhak bangchidan a laulou na hia leh? a chi a.
14And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?
15Huchi in David in tangval khat a sam a, va naih inla, va that in, a chi a. Huan, a vasat a, a sita hi.
15And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.
16Huan, David in a kiang ah, na sisan nangmah lutung mah ah om heh; nangmah mah kam ngei in, TOUPA sathau nilh ka that ahi, chi in lah na phuang ngal a, a chi a.
16And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD's anointed.
17Huchi in David in Saula leh a tapa Jonathan hiai kahla in a kah a;
17And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
18Huan, thalkap la Juda suante sinsak ding in a sawl chiat a, ngai in, Jasar laibu a gelh ahi.
18(Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)
19Aw Israel, na thupina na mun sangte ah a that ua, mi liante a pukta uhi;
19The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
20Gath ah genkei unla, Askelon kongzing ah phuangkei un; Huchilou in zaw Philistia tanute a kipak ding ua, zeksum louh tanute nuamsa in a kikou kha ding uhi.
20Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
21Nou Gilboa tangte aw, na tunguah daitui leh vuah kekei hen, thillat dingte leng suah sam ken; huailai ah lah mi lian lum kihhuai tak in a pai ngal ua, Saula lum, sathau nilhlouh mi lum bang maiin.
21Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil.
22Thahte sisan a kipan leh mi lian thau a kipan in Jonathan thal a kik nawnkei a, Saula namsau lah a vuak in a kiknawn ngeikei.
22From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.
23Saula leh Jonathan hindan lah a deihhuai in a kilawm a, a sih un leng a khenkei uh, mipite sang in a hatzaw ua, humpinelkaite sang in a hatzaw uh.
23Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
24Nou Israel tanute aw, Saula kah un, puansan kilawmte na tungah a bang a, na puan khawng ua dangka-eng a zephoihnate hon bansakpa ahi.
24Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
25Kidou laitak a mi liante a napuk maizen uh! Na mun sangte ah Jonathan a thatta uh.
25How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine high places.
26Ka unaupa Jonathan, na tungthu ah ka lungzing petmah hi; ka tungah na hoih thei mahmah a, na hon itna a lamdang hi, numei itna a khup hi.Mi liante a puk ua, kidouna vante leng a mangthang khinta!
26I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.
27Mi liante a puk ua, kidouna vante leng a mangthang khinta!
27How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
