1 Samuel 1
1 Ephraim tlang kah, ka om Ramathaim Zophim ah hlang pakhat om. A ming tah, Elihu capa Jeroham kah a ca Elkanah ni. Elihu tah Ephraim Zuph capa Tohu kah a ca ni.
There was a man of one of the two Ramathaim Zophim, of mount Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah the sonne of Ieroham, the sonne of Elihu, the sonne of Tohu, the sonne of Zuph, an Ephrathite:
2 Anih te yuu panit tih a yuu cuek te Hannah, a pabae tah Peninnah a ming nah. Penninah te camoe om tih Hannah tah camoe om pawh.
And he had two wiues: the name of one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
3 Tekah hlang tah thothueng ham neh Caempuei BOEIPA nawn hamla hnin bal hnin bal amah kho lamloh Shiloh la cet. Teah te BOEIPA khosoih Eli ca rhoi Hophni neh Phinekha khaw om.
And this man went vp out of his citie euery yeere, to worship and to sacrifice vnto the Lord of hostes in Shiloh, where were the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas Priests of the Lord.
4 A tue a pha tih Elkanah loh a nawn vaengah tah maehvae te a yuu Peninnah neh a capa rhoek khaw a canu rhoek khaw boeih a paek.
And on a day, when Elkanah sacrificed, he gaue to Peninnah his wife and to all her sonnes and daughters portions,
5 BOEIPA loh a bung piim sak cakhaw Hannah tah a lungnah dongah maehvae a paek vaengah Hannah ham tah pakhat neh a rhaep pah thil.
But vnto Hannah he gaue a worthy portion: for he loued Hannah, and the Lord had made her barren.
6 BOEIPA loh Hannah bung a piim sak tih a caeng dongah Hannah tah konoinah neh, citcai neh hue a sak.
And her aduersarie vexed her sore, forasmuch as she vpbraided her, because the Lord had made her barren.
7 Kum khat phoeiah kum khat BOEIPA im a paan vaengah khaw hue a sak. Te dongah rhap tih buh ca pawh.
(And so did he yeere by yeere) and as oft as she went vp to the house of the Lord, thus she vexed her, that she wept and did not eate.
8 Te dongah anih te a va Elkanah loh, “Hannah balae tih na rhah, balae tih buh na caak pawh? Balae tih na thinko a phoena? Ca tongpa parha lakah khaw nang taengah ka then moenih a?, a ti nah.
Then sayd Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thine heart troubled? am not I better to thee then ten sonnes?
9 Te daengah Shiloh kah Hannah loh caak ok ham thoo. Te vaengah khosoih Eli tah BOEIPA bawkim rhungsut taengkah ngolkhoel dongah ngol.
So Hannah rose vp after that they had eaten and drunke in Shiloh (and Eli the Priest sate vpon a stoole by one of the postes of the Temple of the Lord)
10 Hannah tah a hinglu khahing tih a rhah doe a rhah doela BOEIPA taengah thangthui.
And she was troubled in her minde, and prayed vnto the Lord, and wept sore:
11 Te vaengah olcaeng neh a caeng tih, “Caempuei BOEIPA, na salnu kah phacipphabaem he han so rhoela so lah. Kai he m'poek lamtah na salnu he hnilh boeh. Tedae hlang kah tiingan te na salnu ham m'pae lamtah a hing tue boeih te BOEIPA taengla kam pae eh. A lu dongah thiha loh ben boel saeh,” a ti nah.
Also she vowed a vowe, and sayd, O Lord of hostes, if thou wilt looke on the trouble of thine handmaide, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaide, but giue vnto thine handmaide a manchilde, then I will giue him vnto the Lord all the dayes of his life, and there shall no rasor come vpon his head.
12 BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thangthui te a koe coeng dongah Eli loh a ka te a sawt pah.
And as she continued praying before the Lord, Eli marked her mouth.
13 Hannah te a lungbuei khuiah cal tih a hmui ni dawk a tat coeng. Tedae a ol a yaak pawt dongah Eli loh anih te yurhui la a poek.
For Hannah spake in her heart: her lips did moue onely, but her voyce was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had bene drunken.
14 Te dongah anih te Eli loh, “Me hil nim na rhuihmil ve, namah te na misur dong lamkah loh cue uh saw,” a ti nah.
And Eli sayde vnto her, Howe long wilt thou be drunken? Put away thy drunkennesse from thee.
15 Hannah loh a doo tih, “Moenih, ka boeipa, Kai huta he ka mueihla mangkhak sut tih misur khaw yu khaw ka ok moenih. Tedae ka hinglu he BOEIPA mikhmuh ah ka kingling coeng.
Then Hannah answered and sayd, Nay my lord, but I am a woman troubled in spirit: I haue drunke neither wine nor strong drinke, but haue powred out my soule before the Lord.
16 Ka kohuet cungkuem neh tahae ah ka konoi nen ni ka thangthui. Na sal nu kah a muen he na kodang ah dueh boel mai.
Count not thine handmaide for a wicked woman: for of the abundance of my complaint and my griefe haue I spoken hitherto.
17 Eli loh a doo tih, “Ngaimong la cet lamtah amah taengah na bih na huithuinah te Israel Pathen loh m'pae saeh,” a ti nah.
Then Eli answered, and sayd, Go in peace, and the God of Israel graunt thy petition that thou hast asked of him.
18 Te dongah, “Na tueihyoeih he na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen khaw dang van saeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah huta te amah caeh long ah cet tih a caak. Te lamkah long tah Hannah kah maelhmai khaw pumphoe voel pawh.
She sayd againe, Let thine handmayd finde grace in thy sight: so the woman went her way, and did eate, and looked no more sad.
19 Mincang ah thoo uh tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah tho a thuenguh. Te phoeiah bal uh tih Ramah kah a im te a paan uh. Te vaengah Elkanah loh a yuu Hannah te a ming hatah Hannah te BOEIPA loh a poek.
Then they rose vp early, and worshipped before the Lord, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah. Nowe Elkanah knewe Hannah his wife, and the Lord remembred her.
20 Khohnin a thoknah a pha vaengah Hannah te vawn tih ca a cun. Camoe he, “BOEIPA taengah ka bih,” a ti dongah a ming te Samuel a sak.
For in processe of time Hannah conceiued, and bare a sonne, and she called his name Samuel, Because, said she, I haue asked him of the Lord.
21 Elkanah loh BOEIPA taengah khoning hmueih neh a olcaeng nawn ham te a cako ah boeih cet uh.
So the man Elkanah and all his house went vp to offer vnto the Lord the yeerely sacrifice, and his vowe:
22 Tedae Hannah tah a caeh kolla a va taengah, “Camoe suuk a kan vaengah ka khuen bitni. Te vaengah BOEIPA hmai ah phoe vetih a kum a hal pahoi om bitni,” a ti nah.
But Hannah went not vp: for she sayd vnto her husband, I will tarie vntill the childe be weined, then I will bring him that hee may appeare before the Lord, and there abide for euer.
23 Te dongah anih te a va Elkanah loh, “Na mikhmuh ah a then la saii, anih te suk na kan sak duela om mai ngawn, a ol te BOEIPA loh thoh nawn saeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah a yuu te om tih a capa loh a suk a kan duela a khut.
And Elkanah her husband sayd vnto her, Do what seemeth thee best: tarie vntill thou hast weined him: only the Lord accomplish his word. So the woman abode, and gaue her sonne sucke vntill she weined him.
24 Camoe te suk a kan vanneh vaito kum thum, vaidam te cangnoek pakhat, misur te tuitang pakhat a khuen tih Shiloh kah BOEIPA im a paan puei. Te vaengah a capa te camoe pueng.
And when she had weined him, she tooke him with her with three bullockes and an Ephah of floure and a bottell of wine, and brought him vnto the house of the Lord in Shiloh, and the childe was yong.
25 Vaito te a ngawn uh tih camoe te Eli taengla a thak uh.
And they slewe a bullocke, and brought the childe to Eli.
26 Te phoeiah Hananah loh, “Aw ka Boeipa, Ka boeipa namah kah hingnah hinglu rhangneh kai tah BOEIPA taengah thangthui ham heah he namah taengah aka pai huta ni.
And she said, Oh my Lord, as thy soule liueth, my lord, I am the woman that stoode with thee here praying vnto the Lord.
27 Camoe ham he ka thangthui tih amah taeng lamkah ka bih vanbangla ka huithuinah te ka taengah BOEIPA loh m'paek coeng.
I prayed for this childe, and the Lord hath giuen me my desire which I asked of him.
28 Te dongah anih he BOEIPA ham ni ka bih tih anih a tue khohnin aka om boeih khaw BOEIPA ham ni ka bih coeng,” a ti nah tih BOEIPA taengah pahoi bakop.
Therefore also I haue giuen him vnto the Lord: as long as he liueth hee shalbe giuen vnto the Lord: and he worshipped the Lord there.
