1 Samuel 2
1 Te phoeiah Hannah te thangthui tih, “BOEIPA dongah ka lungbuei loh sundaep, BOEIPA ah ka ki loh pomsang uh coeng. Namah kah khangnah dongah ka kohoe tih, ka thunkha khaw ka ka loh a ang thil coeng.
And she said, "My heart rejoices in Jehovah. My strength rises up in my God. My mouth boasts over my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation.
2 BOEIPA bangla aka cim om pawh. Nang aka puet khaw om pawt tih, lungpang khaw kaimih kah Pathen bangla a om moenih.
Truly, there is no one as holy as Jehovah. Truly, there is no one besides you, nor is there any rock like our God.
3 BOEIPA tah lungming Pathen la om tih, khoboe rhamlang khaw amah loh a khiing a lang coeng dongah na ka lamkah mangkhak ol aka thoeng neh, a sang sang la muep cal boeh.
Do not speak boastfully or let arrogance come out of your mouth, for Jehovah is a God of knowledge. By him actions are weighed.
4 Hlangrhalh rhoek kah lii te paep cakhaw, aka paloe rhoek loh thadueng a vah uh.
The bows of the mighty men are broken. Those who stumbled are armed with strength.
5 Aka soep rhoek loh buh a kutloh uh daengah bungpong khaw a toeng uh. Caya long pataeng parhih khaw a sak coeng dongah, ca aka ping khaw a thathae coeng.
Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread. Those who were hungry are satisfied. Even the barren has borne seven, and she who has many children languishes.
Jehovah kills, and makes alive. He brings down to Sheol, and brings up. (Sheol h7585)
7 BOEIPA loh a talh dae koep a boei sak, a kunyun sak dae koep a pomsang.
Jehovah makes poor, and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts up.
8 Diklai kah tungpuei tah BOEIPA koe la om tih, lunglai khaw a sut thil coeng dongah tattloel te laipi khui lamkah a thoh. Khodaeng khaw hlangcong taengah ngol sak ham te, natva lamloh a pomsang tih amih te thangpomnah ngolkhoel neh a phaeng.
He raises up the poor out of the dust. He lifts up the needy from the dunghill, To make them sit with princes, and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are Jehovah's. He has set the world on them.
9 A hlangcim rhoek kah a hlangcim kho te a ngaithuen. Tedae halang rhoek kah thadueng loh pakhat khaw a na pawt dongah hmaisuep ah ngam uh.
He will guard the feet of his faithful ones, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness. For no man will prevail by strength.
10 Amah aka oelh la aka oelh te tah BOEIPA loh a rhihyawp sak tih, vaan lamkah rhaek neh a daeh. BOEIPA loh diklai khobawt duela lai a tloek vetih a manghai te sarhi a tak sak phoeiah a messiah ki khaw a pomsang ni,” a ti.
Those who strive with Jehovah will be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in the sky. "Jehovah will judge the farthest parts of the earth. He will give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed."
11 Te phoeiah Elkanah loh Ramah la a im te a paan. Tedae camoe tah khosoih Eli taengah BOEIPA bibi la om.
And she went to Ramah, while the child served Jehovah before Eli the priest.
12 Te vaengah Eli ca rhoi tah muen rhoi ca tih BOEIPA te ming rhoi pawh.
Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they did not know Jehovah.
13 Te vaengah pilnam lamkah hlang boeih loh hmueih a nawn tih khosoih rhoek kah hamsum vaengah khosoih kah tueihyoeih pakhat te maeh thong la halo hatah a kut dongah ciksum a sum pathum te a pom.
The custom of the priests with the people was that when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was boiling, with a fork of three teeth in his hand;
14 Anih loh baeldung khaw, voh khaw, ampaih khaw, am khaw a toeh vaengah ciksum loh a doek boeih te khosoih loh amah ham a loh. Te tlam te Shiloh la aka pawk Israel boeih taengah a saii rhoi.
and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fork brought up the priest took therewith. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.
15 Maehtha te a phum uh hlan ah pataeng khosoih kah tueihyoeih te halo tih hmueih aka ngawn hlang taengah, “Maeh te khosoih ham a hai pah la a thing la m'pae, na maeh hmin te doe mahpawh,” a ti nah.
Yes, before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man who sacrificed, "Give meat to roast for the priest; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, but raw."
16 Tedae anih te hlang pakhat loh, “Maehtha he a noek kah bangla m'phum m'phum vetih man na hinglu loh a nai te namah ham na loh sue,” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Pawh, tahae nam paek pawt atah thama la ka loh ni,” a ti nah.
If the man said to him, "Let the fat be burned first, and then take all of it which your soul desires"; then he would say, "No, but you shall give it to me now; and if not, I will take it by force."
17 Tedae cadong rhoi tholhnah tah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a len koek la om coeng. Tekah hlang rhoi loh BOEIPA khocang ni a tlaitlaek rhoi coeng.
The sin of the young men was very great before Jehovah; for they despised the offering of Jehovah.
18 Samuel tah takhlawk hnisui te a sui tih BOEIPA mikhmuh kah bi aka bi camoe la om.
But Samuel ministered before Jehovah, being a child, clothed with a linen ephod.
19 A kum kum kah a tue a pha vaengah tah Hannah khaw hmueih nawn ham a va neh w cet rhoi. Te vaengah a manu loh Samuel ham hnikul ca a saii tih a khuen pah.
Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
20 Te vaengah Elkanah neh a yuu te Eli loh yoethen a paek tih, “BOEIPA taengah a bih vanbangla a huithuinah yueng la hekah huta pum dongah BOEIPA loh nang taengah tiingan hang khueh saeh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah amah hmuen la cet uh.
And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and said, "May Jehovah repay you with offspring by this woman for the gift which she made to Jehovah." And the man returned to his home.
21 Hannah te BOEIPA loh a hip dongah vawn tih capa pathum neh canu panit a cun. Te vaengah camoe Samuel tah BOEIPA taengah rhoeng hang.
Jehovah visited Hannah, and she bore more children, three sons and two daughters. The child Samuel grew before Jehovah.
22 Eli he bahoeng patong coeng dae a ca rhoi loh Israel pum taengah a saii rhoi boeih te khaw, tingtunnah dap thohka aka muk huta rhoek taengah a yalh rhoi te khaw a yaak.
Now Eli was very old; and he heard what his sons did to the children of Israel (and how that they lay with the women who served at the door of the Tent of Meeting).
23 Te dongah amih rhoi te, “Balae tih he rhoek kah hno he na saii rhoi? Nangmih rhoi kah boethae ol te khaw kai loh he pilnam cungkuem taeng lamkah ka yaak coeng.
And he said to them, "Why do you do such things as these that I hear being said of you from the mouth of the people of Jehovah?
24 Ka ca rhoi nang te tlam moenih, BOEIPA pilnam lamkah ha puek tih ka yaak olthang te a then moenih.
No, my sons, do not do this. For it is not a good report that I hear the people of Jehovah spreading.
25 Hlang pakhat te hlang pakhat soah a tholh atah anih ham te Pathen loh lai a rhoe pueng. Tedae hlang pakhat te BOEIPA soah a tholh coeng atah anih ham te ulae aka thangthui pa eh,” a ti nah. Tedae amih rhoi te BOEIPA loh duek sak ham a ngaih coeng dongah a napa ol te hnatun rhoi pawh.
If a man sins gravely against another, he can appeal to Jehovah; but if a man sins against Jehovah, who can intercede for him?" But, they did not listen to the voice of their father, because Jehovah intended to kill them.
26 Camoe Samuel tah a pong a pa neh boeilen tih BOEIPA taeng neh hlang taengah khaw hoeikhang hang.
The child Samuel grew on, and increased in favor both with Jehovah, and also with men.
27 Te vaengah Pathen kah hlang te Eli taengla halo tih, “BOEIPA loh, 'Egypt kah Pharaoh im hmuiah a om vaengah na pa im ah ka phoe rhoela ka phoe ta nama?
A man of God came to Eli, and said, "Thus says Jehovah, I plainly revealed myself to the house of your father, when they were slaves in Egypt to the house of Pharaoh.
28 Ka mikhmuh ah hnisui aka vah ham neh ka hmueihtuk la aka cet tih, bo-ul aka phum la ka khosoih sak ham ni Israel koca rhoek boeih khui lamkah anih ka tuek tih, Israel ca rhoek kah a hmaihlutnah boeih te na pa imkhui ah ka paek.
And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod. And I gave to the house of your father all the offerings by fire of the children of Israel as food.
29 Balae tih, ka hmueih neh khuirhung la kang uen ka khosaa te na talaeh phoeiah ka pilnam Israel kah khocang boeih khuikah a vueilue dongah na suen uh tih kai lakah na ca rhoi na thangpom,’ a ti.
Then why do you look at my sacrifice and my offering with a selfish eye, and honor your sons more than me in letting them eat from the first part of every offering of Israel before me?'
30 Te dongah Israel Pathen BOEIPA olphong loh, 'Na imkhui ah khaw, na pa imkhui ah khaw kumhal duela ka mikhmuh ah pongpa ham ka thui rhoela ka thui coeng,’ a ti. Tedae BOEIPA kah olphong loh, 'Kai lamkah tah savisava, Kai aka thangpom tah ka thangpom vetih kai aka hnaep tah thaephoei thil la om ni.
"Therefore Jehovah, the God of Israel, says, 'I said indeed that your house, and the house of your father, should walk before me forever.' But now Jehovah says, 'Be it far from me; for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
31 A tue a pha vaengah namah kah na ban khaw, na pa imkhui kah bantha te khaw ka haih vetih na imkhui ah a hamca om mahpawh.
Look, the days come, that I will cut off your descendants, and the descendants of your father's house, that there shall not be an old man in your house.
32 Israel te boeih voelphoeng cakhaw na khuirhung kah rhal ni na paelki eh. Na hing tue khuiah na imkhui ah patong om mahpawh.
And you will see distress in the dwelling place, in all that he does good with Israel. And there will not be an old man in your house all the days.
33 Na mik khah sak ham neh na hinglu yaai sak ham ka hmueihtuk dong lamloh nang kah hlang te ka pat sak moenih. Tedae na imkhui kah hlang rhoek te a pueh a kan la boeih duek uh ni.
And the man of yours I do not cut off from my altar will be to cause his eyes to fail and to grieve his soul, and all the increase of your house will die by the sword of men.
34 Te dongah na ca rhoi, Hophni neh Phinekha ham te tahae kah miknoek loh nang taengla ha thoeng vetih amih rhoi te khohnin pakhat dongah duek rhoi ni.
"'This shall be the sign to you, that shall come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall both die.
35 Te vaengah ka thinko kah bangla aka cak khosoih te kamah ham ka thoh vetih ka hinglu dongkah te a saii ni. Anih ham khaw im ka thoh pah vetih ka cak sak vaengah ka koelh hlang kah a mikhmuh ah khohnin takuem pongpa ni.
I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind. I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before my anointed forever.
36 Na imkhui kah aka sueng boeih khaw cak hlii neh buh hluem te a taengah bakop thil ham ham paan ni. Te vaengah, 'Buh kamat caak ham khaw khosoihbi pakhat dongah te kai n'thawth laem,’ a ti ni,” a ti nah.
It shall happen, that everyone who is left in your house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, "Please put me into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread."'"
