1 Samuel 11

1 Lhakhat jouvin Ammon mi Nahash lengpa chun Jebesh-gilead khopi dou dingin ahung konin ahi. Chuin Jabesh khoa cheng mijouse chun Nahash jah-a, “Keiho toh kitepna khat sem uhitin chule nasoh kahi diu ahi,” tin atao tauve.

And Nahash the Ammonite cometh up, and encampeth against Jabesh-Gilead, and all the men of Jabesh say unto Nahash, 'Make with us a covenant, and we serve thee.'

2 Hichun Nahash in, “Aphai, ahinla aumdan khat sem uhite, Israel pumpi kajumso thei nadia, namit changu jetlam cheh ka kaldoh ding ahi,” ati.

And Nahash the Ammonite saith unto them, 'For this I covenant with you, by picking out to you every right eye — and I have put it a reproach on all Israel.'

3 Hichun amahon, “Achutile nisagi nei ngah un, Israel gamsunga mi sol uvinge, eikithopi diu koima ahung louva ahileh naheng uvah lut tau vinge,” tin Jabesh upa hon adonbut tauve.

And the elders of Jabesh say to him, 'Let us alone seven days, and we send messengers into all the border of Israel: and if there is none saving us — then we have come out unto thee.'

4 Thupoho Saul umna Gibeah ahunglhun phat’un, mijouse mitchang kaldoh ding thu ajahdoh phat in khopi sunga mi jouse akapjah jeng tauvin ahi.

And the messengers come to Gibeah of Saul, and speak the words in the ears of the people, and all the people lift up their voice and weep;

5 Hiche pettah’a chu Saul chu louva kona ganchahon nunga hunga ahi, chule khopi ahunglhun phat’in, “Ipi thilsoh uma hitam? Ipi jeh'a mipite hitobang tah’a khu kap-a hiuvem?” tin adong in ahile amahon Jabesh thupole ho thu chu aseipeh tauve.

and lo, Saul hath come after the herd out of the field, and Saul saith, 'What — to the people, that they weep?' and they recount to him the words of the men of Jabesh.

6 Chuin Saul’in chuche thusoh ajah phat’in, Pathen akona lhagao achungah ahung chun, alunghan nachu ahung koujah jeng in ahi.

And the Spirit of God doth prosper over Saul, in his hearing these words, and his anger burneth greatly,

7 Chuin bongchal ni athat’in, achanbong bongin, Israel gamkai jousea ahom dingin thupole ho asollin, “Samuel le Saul gal’a jui louva galkon lou jouse abongchal jouse hitia hi kichanpan ding ahi!” tin gih na jong aneiyin ahi. Chule Pathen in Saul lunghan chun mijouse akichat sah in, kilungkhat tah in ahung kikhom sohkeijun ahi.

and he taketh a couple of oxen, and cutteth them in pieces, and sendeth through all the border of Israel, by the hand of the messengers, saying, 'He who is not coming out after Saul and after Samuel — thus it is done to his oxen;' and the fear of Jehovah falleth on the people, and they come out as one man.

8 Chuin Saul’in Bezek mun’ah akhom khomin ahile Israel a kon mi sang jathum, chule Judah a kon, mi sang somthum akhom doh in ahi.

And he inspecteth them in Bezek, and the sons of Israel are three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.

9 Saul in thupole ho chu Jabesh-Gilead miho henga, “Jing sunkim le kithopina namu diu ahi!” tin thu ale thot in ahile hiche thusoh ajah phat’un, khopi sungah kipana lentah ahung lhungin ahi.

And they say to the messengers who are coming, 'Thus do ye say to the men of Jabesh-Gilead: To-morrow ye have safety — by the heat of the sun;' and the messengers come and declare to the men of Jabesh, and they rejoice;

10 Jabesh mihon agal miteho komah “Jing teng naheng uva kahung diu ahin, kachunguva nabol nom chan nabol theiju ahi,” tin aseipeh taovin ahi.

and the men of Jabesh say [to the Ammonites], 'To-morrow we come out unto you, and ye have done to us according to all that [is] good in your eyes.'

11 Ahin, ajing jingkah matah in Saul ahung lhun’in, asepaite hopthum in ahom khen’in, khovah in amelmate ngahmun adelkhum’un, hiche jingkah sungse chun, Ammon mite athat in, ahingdoh chasun akithen cheh uvin, achang changing ajam mang tauvin ahi.

And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that Saul putteth the people in three detachments, and they come into the midst of the camp in the morning-watch, and smite Ammon till the heat of the day; and it cometh to pass that those left are scattered, and there have not been left of them two together.

12 Chuin mipiten Samuel jah’a, “Ipijeh’a Saul i-chung uva leng chang ding ham? tia seiho chu hoilai um gam uhi tam? Neipedoh un, that gam uvinge!” tin angeh un ahi.

And the people say unto Samuel, 'Who is he that saith, Saul doth reign over us! give ye up the men, and we put them to death.'

13 Ahin Saul in adonbutin, “Tunia hi mi khatcha kithat lou ding ahi, ajeh chu tuni hi Israel ahuhhing nikho ni ahi,” ati.

And Saul saith, 'There is no man put to death on this day, for to-day hath Jehovah wrought salvation in Israel.'

14 Chuin Samuel in mipi jah ah, “Hungun Gilgal ah cheu hitin, ilengpau gaphongdoh kit uhite,” ati.

And Samuel saith unto the people, 'Come and we go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there;'

15 Chuin mipite jouse chu Gilgal ah acheuvin, Pakai masang ah Saul chu Leng in asem doh tahbeh tauve. Hiti chun Pakai angsung ah chamna, kilhaina thilto gantha abolluvin, Saul jong Israel mite jong hapan akipah sohkei juvin ahi.

and all the people go to Gilgal, and cause Saul to reign there before Jehovah in Gilgal, and sacrifice there sacrifices of peace-offerings before Jehovah, and there Saul rejoiceth — and all the men of Israel — very greatly.
