¹Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

¹Huan, Samuel a sita; huan, Israel mi tengeng a kisam khawm ua, a kah uh. Rama khuaa a in ah a vui uh. Huan, David a thou a, Paran gamdai ah a hoh suk hi.

²There was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

²Maon khua ah mi khat a oma, a neihlelam Karmel tangah a om hi; mi thupi tak ahia, belam sang thum leh kel sang a nei a: Karmel tangah a belam mul a meta.

³Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail; and the woman was of good understanding, and of a beautiful face: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.

³Huai mi min Nabal ahi; a ji min Abigail ahi: huai numei bel teitak mel hoihtak ahia; pasalpen bel chihhak tak leh gilou tak ahi a; Kaleb suan ahi.

⁴David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.

⁴Huan, Davidin gamdai akipanin nabalin a belam mul a met chih a naja a.

⁵David sent ten young men, and David said to the young men, “Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.

⁵Huchiin Davidin tangval sawm a sawla, tangvalte kiang Davidin, Karmel tangah vahohtou unla, huan, Nabal kiangah hoh unla ka minin chibai vabuk un:

⁶You shall tell him, ‘Long life to you! Peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have.

⁶Huan, mi neizoupa kiangah hichiin honchi un; nang tungah, na inkuante tungah, na neih tengteng tungah khamuanna om hen.

⁷Now I have heard that you have shearers. Your shepherds have now been with us, and we didn’t hurt them, neither was there anything missing from them, all the while they were in Carmel.

⁷Na belam mul metmite a om uh chih ka najaa: na belam chingmite ka kiangah a om sek ua, a poi uh bangmah ka khoih kei ua, Karmel tanga a om sung himhim un bangmah a tan kei uh.

⁸Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let the young men find favor in your eyes; for we come in a good day. Please give whatever comes to your hand, to your servants, and to your son David.’”

⁸Na tangvalte dong lechin a honhilh mai ding uh: huchiin hiai tangvalte na na hehpihin: a kilawmni taka hong ka hi uh; na neih bangbang na sikhate leh na tapa David na nape dih ve a chi vachi un, a chi a.

⁹When David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.

⁹Huan, David tangvalte a vatun un Davidin minin huai thu tengteng Nabal kiangah a gen ua, a daihsan uh.

¹⁰Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, “Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants who break away from their masters these days.

¹⁰Huan, Nabalin David sikhate a donga, David kua ahia oi? Jesai tapa kua ahia oi? Tulaiin sikha tampi pute taimang san a tam ua.

¹¹Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men who I don’t know where they come from?”

¹¹Ka tanghou te, ka tui te leh ka belam mul metmite adia ka goh kuate ahi ua chih leng theih louhte ka pe mahmah dia hia? a chi a.

¹²So David’s young men turned on their way, and went back, and came and told him according to all these words.

¹²Huchiin David tangvalte a kihei ua, a kik nawn ua; huai thute tengteng a honghilh uh.

¹³David said to his men, “Every man put on his sword!” Every man put on his sword. David also put on his sword. About four hundred men followed David; and two hundred stayed by the baggage.

¹³Huan, Davidin a mite kiangah, na namsau uh kuah chiat un, a chi a. Huan, a namsau uh a kuah chiat ua; Davidin leng a namsau a kuaha, mi za li takin David a jui tou ua; huan, mi za nih van vengin a om ua.

¹⁴But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, “Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to Greet our master; and he railed at them.

¹⁴Huan, tangval khatin Nabal ji Abigail kiangah, ngai in, Davidin gamdai akipanin ka pu uh chibai buk dingin mi a honsawla, aman a na sala.

¹⁵But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we anything, as long as we went with them, when we were in the fields.

¹⁵Himahleh huaite lah ka tunguah a hoih mahmah ua, ka poi uh bangmah a khoih kei ua, gamlaka ka om lai ua ka om khawm sung tengteng uh bangmah ka tan kei uh:

¹⁶They were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.

¹⁶Belam chinga a kiang ua ka om sung tengteng un sun leh jan kou adingin kulh ahi mai uh.

¹⁷Now therefore know and consider what you will do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his house; for he is such a worthless fellow that one can’t speak to him.”

¹⁷Huaijiakin bang ahia na hih sin hoihtakin ngaihtuah dih ve; ka pu uh tungah leh a inkuante tengteng tungah thil hoihlou hih tum a om uhi; amah lah a Belial tapa mahmaha, kuamah houpih theih lah ahi ngal keia, chiin a gen ua.

¹⁸Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two bottles of wine, five sheep ready dressed, five measures of parched grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.

¹⁸Huan, Abigailin kintakin tanghou beu za nih toh, uain thawl nih toh, belam nga huan dia mansa sipsip toh, vaimim kan buk nga toh, grep gah phou keu bawk ja toh, theipi beu za nih toh a la khawma, sabengtung posak hi.

¹⁹She said to her young men, “Go on before me. Behold, I come after you.” But she didn’t tell her husband, Nabal.

¹⁹Huan, a sikha tangvalte kiangah, ka maah na pai jel unla, ngai un, ka honjui ding, a chi a. Himahleh a pasal nabal a hilh kei.

²⁰It was so, as she rode on her donkey, and came down by the covert of the mountain, that behold, David and his men came down toward her; and she met them.

²⁰Huchiin hichibang ahi a, a sabengtung tunga a tuana, tang sang sing laka a pai suk laiin, ngai in, David leh a miten a honjuan ua; huchiin a kituak uh.

²¹Now David had said, “Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him. He has returned me evil for good.

²¹Davidin, a bangmah a mansak louhna dingin gamdai ah hiai mipa neih tengteng a thawn lelin ka naven sak a nahi mahmah ve; thil hoih lah thil hoihlouin a hondinta mai ngala.

²²God do so to the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all that belongs to him by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall. or, male. ”

²²Jingchiang jingsang khovak phaa amaha tengteng laka pasal naupang khat kia lel leng ka hawi peuhmah leh Pathianin David melmate a lohloh loh heh, huai sanga thupijawin leng hih hen, a chita ngala.

²³When Abigail saw David, she hurried, and alighted from her donkey, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground.

²³Huan, Abigailin David a muhin a sabengtung akipan a kum suk zoka, David maia lei siin chibai a buk a.

²⁴She fell at his feet, and said, “On me, my lord, on me be the iniquity; and please let your handmaid speak in your ears. Hear the words of your handmaid.

²⁴Huan, a khebulah a khupboha, keimahin, pu aw, keimah mahin thulimlouhna ka khu ding, huan, na sikhanuin na bila jakah thu gen henla na sikhanu thugen hehpihtakin ngaihkhiak sakin.

²⁵Please don’t let my lord regard this worthless fellow, even Nabal; for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; but I, your handmaid, didn’t see the young men of my lord, whom you sent.

²⁵Pu aw, Belial mi Nabal bangmahin sim ken; a min bangbang ahi geih hi; Nabal a hina maha, a hai ahi; kei na sikhanuin jaw ka pu honsawl tangvalte ka na mukha kei hi.

²⁶Now therefore, my lord, as Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, since Yahweh has withheld you from blood guiltiness, and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now therefore let your enemies, and those who seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

²⁶Huaijiakin tuin pu aw, TOUPA hinna leh na hinna louin ka gen hi, ka mu mahmah kei hi, TOUPAN sisan suah lou ding leh na khuta phu la lou dingin lah nang honbawl ngala, na melmate leh ka pu hoihlouhna zongmite Nabal bang hi mai uhen.

²⁷Now this present which your servant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.

²⁷Huan, hiai ka pu adia na sikhain kipahman ka hontawi ka pu honjui tangvalte piak hi hen.

²⁸Please forgive the trespass of your handmaid. For Yahweh will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights the battles of Yahweh; and evil shall not be found in you all your days.

²⁸Na sikhanu tatlekna hehpihtakin ngaidamin; TOUPAN ka pu innkuan kiptak dingin a phut ngeingei dia, ka pu lah TOUPA kidounate dou ahi ngala; na damsung tengin nangmah gitlouhna himhim muh ding a om kei ding.

²⁹Though men may rise up to pursue you, and to seek your soul, yet the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with Yahweh your God. He will sling out the souls of your enemies, as from the hollow of a sling.

²⁹Nang hondelh ding leh na hinna hihmang dingin mite hong kisa mahle uh, ka pu hinna jaw TOUPA na Pathian toh hinna gak laka gak ahi dinga; na melmate hinna bel vaisuanglot kuanga lot bangin a lawn mang ding.

³⁰It shall come to pass, when Yahweh has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and shall have appointed you prince over Israel,

³⁰Huan, hichi ahi dinga, TOUPAN na tungtang thua a thil hoih achiam bang teng ka pu tunga a hih chianga Israelte kumpipa ding a a honbawl chiangin,

³¹that this shall be no grief to you, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. When Yahweh has dealt well with my lord, then remember your handmaid.”

³¹Ajiak om loua sisan na suah louha, ka puin phu na lak louh nanga dingin lungkhamna himhim ahi kei dinga, ka pu adingin leng lungkimlouhna hi him ahi sam kei ding; huan, TOUPAN ka pu tunga thil hoih a hih hun chiangin na sikhanu thei gigein, a chi a.

³²David said to Abigail, “Blessed is Yahweh, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me!

³²Huan, davidin Abigail kiangah, tunia kei honna dawn dinga honsawlpa TOUPA, Israelte Pathian phatin om hen:

³³Blessed is your discretion, and blessed are you, that have kept me this day from blood guiltiness, and from avenging myself with my own hand.

³³Huan, na lemtheihna vualjawlin om henla, huan, nang sisan suah mohna akipana hon humnu leh keimah khuta phu la lou dinga honbawlnu leng vualjawlin om hen.

³⁴For indeed, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, who has withheld me from hurting you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely there wouldn’t have been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall. or, male. ”

³⁴Kei hondawn dinga hongpawtkhe pah lou hilechin TOUPA, Israelte Pathian hinna louin ka gen hi, jingchiang khovak phain Nabal tuh naupang khat lel leng ka hawisak het kei ding, a chi a.

³⁵So David received of her hand that which she had brought him: and he said to her, “Go up in peace to your house. Behold, I have listened to your voice, and have granted your request.”

³⁵Huchiin Davidin a thil hontawite a laa: huan, a kiangah, lungmuang takin na in lamah pai tou ta inla; huan, na thu ka mang hi, na nget pen ka honsan sak hi, a chi a.

³⁶Abigail came to Nabal; and behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken. Therefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.

³⁶Huan, Abigail bel Nabal kiangah a hoh toua, huan, ngaiin, a in ah kumpipa ankuanglui bang maiin ankuang a naluia, a kham mahmah jiakin Nabal bel a maitai ngial hi: huaijiakin ajingsang khovak masiah bangmah a hilh kei hi.

³⁷It happened in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.

³⁷Huan, hichi ahi a, jinglama Nabal uain kham a halh in a jiin huai thute a hilha, a lung a dai duaka, suang bangin a hong omta hi.

³⁸It happened about ten days after, that Yahweh struck Nabal, so that he died.

³⁸Huan, hichi ahi a, ni sawm nungin TOUPAN Nabal tungah khut a kha a, a sita hi.

³⁹When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed is Yahweh, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil. Yahweh has returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head.” David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to him as wife.

³⁹Huan, Davidin Nabala a si chih a jakin, ka minsiatna dinga Nabal thilhih akipana hon genpiha, a sikha thil hoihlou hih lou honkhampa TOUPA phatin om hen; Nabal thil hoihlou hih TOUPAN amah tung mahah a kesak ta hi, a chi a. Huan, Davidin Abigail a ji dinga vahoupih dingin mi a sawla.

⁴⁰When the servants of David had come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, “David has sent us to you, to take you to him as wife.”

⁴⁰Huan, David sikhaten Karmel tanga Abigail kiang a tun touh un, Davidin a ji dinga nang honpi dingin a honsawl, chiin amah a houpih ua.

⁴¹She arose, and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, “Behold, your handmaid is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.”

⁴¹Huan, a thou a, a maia lei siin chibai a buka, ngaidih ua, na sikhanu uh ka pu sikhate khe sil dinga sikha ka hi, a chi a.

⁴²Abigail hurried, and arose, and rode on a donkey, with five ladies of hers who followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

⁴²Huchiin Abigail a thou zoka, sabengtung tungah a tuanga, a nungjui nungak ngate toh David mi sawlte a jui ua, a jiin a omta hi.

⁴³David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they both became his wives.

⁴³Davidin Jezreela mi Ahinaom leng a napikhina; huchiin a ji dingin a om tuaktuak uh.Saulain lah a tanu Mikal David ji Galim khuaa mi Lais tapa Palti toh a na kitengsakta a.

⁴⁴Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.

⁴⁴Saulain lah a tanu Mikal David ji Galim khuaa mi Lais tapa Palti toh a na kitengsakta a.
