1 Samuel 7
1 Te dongah Kirathjearim hlang rhoek ha pawk uh neh BOEIPA thingkawng tea khuen uh tih som kah Abinadab im tea paan puei uh. Te vaengah a capa Eleazar te BOEIPA thingkawng aka khoem laa ciim uh.
And the men of Kirjath-jearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.
2 Kiriathjearim ah thingkawnga ngol khohnin lamloha kum khaw sen coeng. Tedae kum kula lo daengah Israel imkhui pum te BOEIPA hnukah rhathi uh.
And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.
3 Te dongah Samuel loh Israel imkhui boeih tea voek tih, “Na thinko boeih neh BOEIPA taengla na mael atah, na khui lamkah kholong pathen rhoek neh Ashtoreth te khoe uh. Na thinko te BOEIPA taengah sikim uh lamtah amah bueng ham mah thothueng uh. Nangmih te Philisti kut lamloh n'huul bitni,” a ti nah.
And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, [then] put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.
4 Te dongah Israel ca rhoek loh Baal neh Ashtoreth tea voeih uh tih, BOEIPA amah taeng bueng ah tho a thuenguh.
Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.
5 Te dongah Samuel loh, “Israel boeih aw Mizpah ah coi uh thae lamtah nangmih yueng la BOEIPA taengah ka thangthui eh?,” a ti nah.
And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the LORD.
6 Mizpah laa coi uh thae vaengah tuia than uh tih BOEIPA mikhmuh aha bueih uh. Tekah khohnin dongah caak a yaeh uh tih BOEIPA taengah, “Ka tholh coeng,” a ti uh dongah Mizpah kah Israel ca rhoek te Samuel loh lai a tloek pah.
And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured [it] out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh.
7 Mizpah ah Israel ca rhoek a coi uh thae te Philisti loh a yaak vaengah Israel te Philisti boei rhoek loh a caeh thil uh. Israel ca rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah Philisti tea rhih uh.
And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard [it], they were afraid of the Philistines.
8 Te dongah Samuel te Israel ca rhoek loh, “Mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen taengah pang ham khaw kaimih he nam phah sak pawt koinih Philisti kut lamloh mamih n'khang suidae,” a ti na uh.
And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.
9 Samuel loh suktui aka yawn tuca pakhata loh phoeiah cet tih BOEIPA taengah hmueihhlutnah la boeiha khuen. Te phoeiah BOEIPA te Samuel loh Israel yueng la a doek hatah BOEIPA loh a doo pah.
And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered [it for] a burnt offering wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him.
10 Samuel loh hmueihhlutnaha paan vaengah Philisti rhoek tah caemtloek la Israel taengah thoeih uh. Tedae tekah khohnin dongah Philisti te BOEIPA loh a ol ue neh rhaek bangla a daeh tiha khawkkhek dongah amih te Israel mikhmuh ah yawk uh.
And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel.
11 Te vaengah Mizpah lamkah Israel hlang rhoek te ha pawk uh tih Philisti tea hloem uh. Te dongah Phlilisti te Bethkar kungdak duelaa tloek uh.
And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until [they came] under Beth-car.
12 Te phoeiah Samuel loh lungto pakhata loh tih Mizpah laklo neh Shane laklo ah a khueh. “Tahae duela BOEIPA loh mamih m'bom coeng,” a ti dongah lungto ming te Ebenezer la a khue.
Then Samuel took a stone, and set [it] between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.
13 Philisti rhoek khaw kunyun uh coeng tih Israel khorhia paan ham koep khoep uh voel pawh. Samuel tue khuiah tah Philisti khaw BOEIPA kut ah ni a om.
So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the coast of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
14 Te dongah Israel taengkah khopuei Philisti loh a loh rhoek, Ekron lamloh Gath neh a khorhi duela Israel taenglaa mael uh. Philisti kut lamloh Israela huul dongah Israel laklo neh Amori laklo ah khaw rhoepnah om.
And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the coasts thereof did Israel deliver out of the hands of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
15 Samuel a hing tue khuiah Israel te lai a tloek pah.
And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
16 A kum kum ah voeikhat carhil tah cet tih Bethel khaw, Gilgal khaw, Mizpah khaw a hil. Hmuen tom kah Israel te lai a tloek pah.
And he went from year to year in circuit to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places.
17 Tedae Ramah laa maelnah amah im ah Israel te lai a tloek pah tih BOEIPA ham hmueihtuk pahoia suem.
And his return [was] to Ramah; for there [was] his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar unto the LORD.
