1 Samuel 10
1 Chuin Samuel in olive thao thei khat alan, Saul luchung’ah asunglhan achop’in ajah ah, “Keiman hiche kabolna ajeh chu Pakaiyin nangma Israel chunga lamkai dinga, panmun sanga dinga nalhendoh ahitai.
Then Samuel took the vial of oil and poured it on his head, and kissed him, and said, "Has not the LORD anointed you to be ruler over his people Israel? And you shall rule over the people of the LORD, and you shall save them out of the hand of their enemies all around. And this shall be the sign to you that the LORD has anointed you to be ruler over his inheritance.
2 Tunia hi nangma keija kona napotdoh tengle, Benjamin gamgi Zelzah-a Rachel lhan koma mini namu ding, sangan ho chu akimutai ti chu amanin aseilhon ding ahi. Napa sangan ho jeh’a nalungkham nachu akichaitan, tua hi nangni dinga lungkham ah ahi. Aman miho jah’ah kachapa namu uvem tin adongle le in ahi,” ati.
When you have departed from me today, then you shall find two men by Rachel's tomb, in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will tell you, 'The donkeys which you went to seek have been found; and look, your father has stopped caring about the donkeys, and is anxious for you, saying, "What shall I do about my son?"'
3 “Chule chua kon chun chebe-lhon lechun, Tabor phaicham lhungin natin chua chun Bethel’a Pathen henga chetouva mithum nakimu topi ding, khat pan kelcha nou thum, khatpan changlhah thum chule khatpan lengpitwi haikhat achoi namu ding ahi.
Then you will go on further from there and you will come to the oak of Tabor, and three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you. One will be carrying three young goats, and another carrying three containers of bread, and another carrying a container of wine.
4 Chule amaho chun chibai naboh diu, changlhah ni napeh dingu, hichu akhut uva kona nakisan ding ahi.
And they will greet you and give you two wave offerings of bread, which you shall accept from their hand.
5 Chutengle Phlistine sepaiho umna Pathen lhaang’a chu nahung ding, chule hiche kho pia chu nahung tengle tumging, khongcha, kuli, selangdah, amasang uva hintho’a munsang’a kona hung kumlha themgao honkhat nakitopi ding, amaho chun gaothu asei dingu ahi.
After that you shall come to Gibeath Elohim, where the Philistine garrison is. And it shall happen, when you have come there to the city, that you shall meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with harps, and tambourines, and flutes, and lyres before them, and they will be prophesying.
6 Hiche phatteng chule Pakai Lhagao thahattah’a nachung’uva hung chu ding, amahotoh gaothu nasei khom ding, chule michombeh khat nakiso ding ahi,” ati.
And the Spirit of the LORD will come mightily on you, and you shall prophesy with them, and shall be transformed into a different person.
7 “Chule hiche melchihna hohi nachung’a ahunglhun tengle, Pathen in naumpi jeh chun Pathenin napuina lam lam chu bol jengin.
And let it be, when these signs have come to you, that you do as the occasion demands, for God is with you.
8 Chutengle nangma keisangin Gilgal’a nachesuh ding, chule hikom’a chu ikimu’a govam kilhaina le chamna thilto gan kilhaina bol ding’a iki suhto ding ahi. Nangman hikoma’a chu ni sagi chan nei nga ding chule maban a nathilbol ding kaseipeh ding nahi,” ati.
You shall go down before me to Gilgal; and look, I will come down to you, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: you shall wait seven days, until I come to you, and show you what you shall do."
9 Hitichun Saul chu, Samuel’a kona kinungle dinga ache got chun, Pathen in ama lungchom khat apen, Hiche ni chun melchihna jouse chu aguilhung sohtai.
When he had turned his back to leave Samuel, God changed his heart, and all these signs came to pass that day.
10 Saul le asohpa Gilgal’a ahunglhun lhon phat’in, amahon themgao thah loi khat amaho langa ahung amuphat un, Pathen lhagao thahattah’in Saul chung’ah ahung chun, amatah jong chun gaothu aseiyin ahi.
And he went from there to Gibeah, and look, a band of prophets met him; and the Ruach of God came mightily on him, and he prophesied among them.
11 Chuin Saul anahe hochun, “Kish chapa, Saul jeng jong themgao hihi ngap hitam?” atiuve.
It happened, when all who knew him before saw that, look, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, "What is this that has come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"
12 Chule chukoma ding miho lah khat’in, “Apateu itobang hijong leu, mijouse themgao hitheiya ham?” ati. Hichea pat a chu, “Saul jeng jong Themgao soh ngap hitam?” tia hung kiseipan ahi.
One of the same place answered, "Who is their father?" Therefore it became a proverb, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"
13 Chuin Saul in gaothu aseijou phat’in, Pathen houna mun’ah ahung kaltouvin ahi.
And when he had finished prophesying, and went home,
14 Chuin Saul pangah pan ama le asohpa jah’a, “Hoiya nagache ham?” tia adoh leh “Sangan holla kache lhon ahin, ahinlah kamu lhonpon, Samuel dong dinga kache lhon ahi,” tin Saul in ana donbut’e.
then his uncle said to him and to his servant, "Where did you go?" And he said, "To seek the donkeys. When we saw that they were not found, we went to Samuel."
15 Apangah pan adong kit’in, “O Samuel in ipi naseipeh lhon em?” tin adongkit in ahi.
Saul's uncle said, "Please tell me what Samuel said to you."
16 Saul in adonbut in, “Sangan chu akimutai tin eina seipeh lhonin,” ahi. Ahinlah Saul in apangah koma Samuel in lenggam thu asei chu, asedoh poi.
Saul said to his uncle, "He told us plainly that the donkeys were found." But concerning the matter of the kingdom he did not tell him.
17 Chujouvin Samuel in Pakai masang’ah Israel mipite jouse Mizpah muna kimuto din kouvin ahi.
Samuel called the people together to the LORD to Mizpah;
18 Ajah-uva, “Hichehi Pakai Israelte Pathen phondoh ahi: Keiman Egypt a konin kahin puidoh un, chule Egypt mite’a konin kahin huhdoh un, chule namdang mite jouse bol gentheina a konin kahin hoidoh in,
and he said to the children of Israel, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you:'
19 Ahin nagenthei nauva kona kahuhdoh vangun, na Pathen’u tunin napai tauve chule hitin nasei’un, i-dang sangin leng khat kadei uve natiuve. Hijeh chun tun, naphung nachang uvin, na nampumpiu vin Pakai ang’ah ding in kigong un,” ati.
but you have this day rejected your God, who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said, 'No. Set a king over us.' Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands."
20 Chuin Samuel in Israel phung jouse Pakai masang’ah ahin puikhom’in chule vang asangin Benjamin phung chu alhengtai.
So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
21 Benjamin phung insung jouse chu akoukhom kit in, chule amaho lah’a chun Matri insung alhengdoh kit tan ahi. Achainan Kish cahpa Saul chu amaho insung lah’a kon chun ana lhengdoh un ahi. Ahinlah amachu ahol’u le aholmo tauve.
He brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families, and the family of the Matrites was taken. And he brought the family of the Matrites near man by man, and Saul the son of Kish was taken. But when they looked for him, he could not be found.
22 Chuin amahon Pakai adoh uleh, “Thilkeo lah’a akiselle,” tin Pakaiyin ahin donbut’e.
Therefore they asked of the LORD further, "Is there a man yet to come here?" The LORD answered, "Look, he has hidden himself among the baggage."
23 Hitichun amahon jong Saul chu agamudoh uvin ahin puidoh uva mipi lah’a adinleh, alengkouva pat chunglamse chu mijouse sangin asangjon ahi.
They ran and fetched him there; and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
24 Chuin Samuel in mijouse jah ah, “Hiche mipa hi ahi Pakijin na lengpa ding uva alhen chu ahi, Israelte lah’a ama tobang adang aumpoi,” ati. Chuin mipiten, “Lengpa damsot hen,” tin asam’un ahi.
Samuel said to all the people, "You see him whom the LORD has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people?" All the people shouted, and said, "Let the king live."
25 Chuin Samuel in mipite jah’a lengpan atoh atham di thudol ahillin, chule lekhajol khat’a asun lut in, Pakai angsung ah akoitai. Chuin Samuel in mipi ho chu ama ama incheh’ah asoltai.
Then Samuel told the people the regulations of the kingdom, and wrote it on a scroll, and laid it up before the LORD. Samuel sent all the people away, every man went to his place
26 Chuin Saul jong Gibeah kho a-inlam ah achetan, chule Pathen in alungsung atohkhah mi honkhat in alhon piuvin ahi.
Saul also went to his house to Gibeah; and there went with him the valient men, whose hearts the LORD had touched.
27 Ahinlah pannabei miphabep chun, “Hichepan iti eihuhdoh diu ham?” atiuve. Chuin amahon ama nahsahmon abol’un, thilpeh imacha ahin choipeh pouvin ahi. Ahinlah ama athipbeh in ana nahsah pon ahi.
But certain worthless fellows said, "How shall this man save us?" So they despised him, and brought him no present. Now Nahash, king of the Ammonites, was severely oppressing the Gadites and the Reubenites. He put out the right eye of all of them, and he would not allow anyone to rescue Israel. Not one was left of the children of Israel beyond the Jordan whose right eye Nahash, king of the Ammonites, did not put out, except for seven thousand men who had escaped from the Ammonites and went to Jabesh Gilead.
