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.
Hannah prayed and said, “My heart exults in Yahweh. My horn is exalted in Yahweh. 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.
There is no one holy like Yahweh, for there is none besides you; there is no 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.
Boast no more so very proudly; let no arrogance come out of your mouth. For Yahweh 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 bow of the mighty men are broken, but those who stumble put on strength like a belt.
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 have stopped being hungry. Even the barren one gives birth to seven, but the woman who has many children languishes.
Yahweh kills and brings to life. He brings down to Sheol and raises up. (Sheol h7585)
7 BOEIPA loh a talh dae koep a boei sak, a kunyun sak dae koep a pomsang.
Yahweh makes some people poor and some rich. He humbles, but 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 the needy from the ash heap to make them sit with princes and inherit the seat of honor. For the pillars of the earth are Yahweh's and he has set the world upon 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 people, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness, for no one 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 oppose Yahweh will be broken to pieces; he will thunder against them from heaven. Yahweh will judge the ends 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.
Then Elkanah went to Ramah, to his house. The child served Yahweh in the presence of 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 Yahweh.
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 a sacrifice, the priest's servant would come with a three-pronged fork in his hand, while the meat was boiling.
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.
He would stick it into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or pot. All that the fork brought up the priest would take for himself. They did this in Shiloh with all the Israelites that 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.
Worse, before they burned the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man who was sacrificing, “Give meat to roast for the priest; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, but only 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, “They must burn the fat first, and then take as much as you want.” Then he would say, “No, you will give it me now; 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 these young men was very great before Yahweh, for they despised Yahweh's offering.
18 Samuel tah takhlawk hnisui te a sui tih BOEIPA mikhmuh kah bi aka bi camoe la om.
But Samuel served Yahweh as 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.
His mother would make him a little robe and bring 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.
Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife and say, “May Yahweh give you more children by this woman because of the request she made of Yahweh.” Then they would return to their own 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.
Yahweh again helped Hannah, and again she became pregnant. She bore three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, the child Samuel grew before Yahweh.
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; he heard all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and how they slept with the women who served at the entrance to 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.
He said to them, “Why do you such things? For I hear of your evil actions from all these people.”
24 Ka ca rhoi nang te tlam moenih, BOEIPA pilnam lamkah ha puek tih ka yaak olthang te a then moenih.
No, my sons; for it is not a good report that I hear. You make Yahweh's people disobey.
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 one man sins against another, God will judge him; but if a man sins against Yahweh, who will speak for him?” But they would not listen to the voice of their father, because Yahweh 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 up, and increased in favor with Yahweh 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?
Now a man of God came to Eli and said to him, “Yahweh says, 'Did I not reveal myself to the house of your ancestor, when they were in Egypt in bondage to Pharaoh's house?
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.
I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, and to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me. I gave to the house of your ancestor all the offerings of the people of Israel made with fire.
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.
Why, then, do you scorn my sacrifices and offerings that I required in the place where I live? Why do you honor your sons above me by making yourselves fat with the best of every offering of my people Israel?'
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.
For Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, 'I promised that your house, and the house of your ancestor, should walk before me forever.' But now Yahweh says, 'Far be it from me to do this, for I will honor those who honor me, but those who despise me will 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.
See, the days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your father's house, so that there will no longer be any 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.
You will see distress in the place where I live. Although good will be given to Israel, there will no longer be any old man in your house.
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.
Any one of you that I do not cut off from my altar, I will cause your eyes to fail, and I will cause grief for your life. All the men born in your family will die.
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 will be the sign for you that will come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: They will both die on the same day.
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 up for myself a faithful priest who will do what is in my heart and in my soul. I will build him a sure house; and he will walk before my anointed king 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.
Everyone who is left in your house will come and bow down to him, asking for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and will say, “Please assign me to one of the priests' positions so I can eat a piece of bread.”'”
