1Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul’s son, delighted much in David.
1Huchiin Saulain a tapa Jonathan leh David a sikha tengteng kiangah David that un a chi a.
2Jonathan told David, saying, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Now therefore, please take care of yourself in the morning, and live in a secret place, and hide yourself.
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:
3I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will talk with my father about you; and if I see anything, I will tell you.”
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.
4Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Don’t let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you;
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:
5for he put his life in his hand, and struck the Philistine, and Yahweh worked a great victory for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?”
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.
6Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan: and Saul swore, “As Yahweh lives, he shall not be put to death.”
6Huchiin Saulain Jonathan thugen a jui. Saulain kichiamin, TOUPA hinna louin ka gen hi, amah hihlup ding ahi hetkei, a chi a.
7Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as before.
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.
8There was war again. David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and killed them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.
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.
9An evil spirit from Yahweh was on Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand.
9Huan, Saula bel a ina teipi tawia a tut laiin TOUPA sawl dawi a tungah a hongtunga; huan, Davidin kaihging a tuma.
10Saul sought to pin David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence, and he stuck the spear into the wall. David fled, and escaped that night.
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.
11Saul sent messengers to David’s house, to watch him, and to kill him in the morning. Michal, David’s wife, told him, saying, “If you don’t save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”
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.
12So Michal let David down through the window. He went, fled, and escaped.
12Huchiin Mikalin David tohlet ah a khaikhe suka; huchiin a taimang a, a bit ta hi.
13Michal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ hair at its head, and covered it with the clothes.
13Huan, Mikalin milim a laa, lupna ah a lumsaka, huan, a lamah kel mul lukham a koiha, puanin a khuh hi.
14When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.”
14Huan, David pi dinga Saulain mi a hon sawlin, a chi a na, a nachi a.
15Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.”
15Huan, Saulain David va en dingin mi a sawla, a lupna toh hon jawng tou le uchin ka na that ding, a chi a.
16When the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats’ hair at its head.
16Huan, a mi sawlte a va lut uleh ngaiin, lupna ah milim a lu lama kel mul lukham khamin a na oma.
17Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me thus, and let my enemy go, so that he is escaped?” Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go! Why should I kill you?’”
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.
18Now David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. He and Samuel went and lived in Naioth.
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.
19It was told Saul, saying, “Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.”
19Huan, Saula bel, ngaiin, Rama khuaa Naioth ah David a om, chiin a hilh ua.
20Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came on the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
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.
21When it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. Saul sent messengers again the third time, 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.
22Then went he also to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu: and he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” One said, “Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.”
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.
23He went there to Naioth in Ramah. Then the Spirit of God came on him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to 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.
24He also stripped off his clothes, and he also prophesied before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
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.
