1 Samuel 12
1 Chuin Samuel chun Israel pumpi jah ding in thu aseiyin, “Veuvin kahenga nasei jouseu kangaiyin, nachung uva vaihom ding leng khat jong kasempeh tauve.
Samuel said to all Israel, “I have listened to everything you said to me, and I have set a king over you.
2 Naleng’u hi tun nalamkai-u jong ahitai, namasang laitah uva kadinge, kumtam tehse samkang kahitai. Kachapate to nakiloi diu ahi. Kachapan laiya kipan in tuni chengeijin nalamkaiyun kahung pang in ahi.
Now, here is the king walking before you; and I am old and gray; and, my sons are with you. I have walked before you from my youth until today.
3 Tun hikoma ka-ume, koi bongchal ahiloule koi sangan kalahpeh umkha em? Koi kalheplhah umkha em? Koi kasuhgenthei umkha em? Koi koma sumguh tholla kalahpeh umkha em? Pakai le athao nupa ang’ah kachung chang thu hettohsah pumin nei seipeh un, kana suhkhel aum jongleh tun sudih inge,” ati.
Here I am; testify against me before Yahweh and before his anointed one. Whose ox have I taken? Whose donkey have I taken? Whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed? From whose hand have I taken a bribe to blind my eyes with? Testify against me, and I will restore it to you.”
4 Mipin adonbut’un, “Aumpoi, nangman nei joulhep kha pouve, nangman keihoa kon in thil neocha jeng jong nalapoi,” atiuve.
They said, “You have not cheated us, oppressed us, or have stolen anything from any man's hand.”
5 “Pakai le athaonu pa hi tunia na angsung laitah uva ahetoh ahi, kanung thu atheng’e” tin Samuel aphongdoh in ahi. Chuin mipin, “Henge amahi ahetoh ahi,” tin adonbut uve.
He said to them, “Yahweh is witness against you, and his anointed one is witness today, that you have found nothing in my hand.” They replied, “Yahweh is witness.”
6 Samuel in abanjom ding, “Aaron le Mose anagong jong chu Pathen ahi, napu napateu Egypt a kona ahin puidohpa chu Ama chu ahi,” ati.
Samuel said to the people, “It is Yahweh who appointed Moses and Aaron, and who brought your fathers up from the land of Egypt.
7 “Hijeh chun, tun nangho le napu napateu chunga Pakai thilkidang nasatah tah abol chengse geldoh sah u bang chun Pakai masanga nangho dingdet un,” ati.
Now then, present yourself, so that I may plead with you before Yahweh about all of the righteous deeds of Yahweh, which he did for you and your fathers.
8 “Israel mite Egypt a aumlaiyun, Pakai henga akapun ahile, Aman Mose le Aaron Israelte chu Egypt gam'a konin ahin puidoh sah lhonin, hiche gam'a ahin lhut lhontai.
When Jacob came to Egypt, and your ancestors cried out to Yahweh, then Yahweh sent Moses and Aaron, who led your ancestors out of Egypt and they settled in this place.
9 Ahivangin mipiten hetman louvin Pakai a Pathen-u asumil’un, aman Sisera, Hazor khopia sepai janel gal lamkai khut le Philistine te khut’a chule Moab lengpa khut’a apeh doh in ahi.
But they forgot Yahweh their God; he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the armies of Hazor, into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab; these all fought against your ancestors.
10 Chuin amaho Pakai henga akap’un, keihon Pakai kadalhau vin Baal lim le Ashtoreth kahou jeh un kachonse taove, ahinlah tun kamelmateu khut’a konin neihuhdoh uvin, chutileh nangma kajhou diu ahi atiuve.
They cried out to Yahweh and said, 'We have sinned, because we have forsaken Yahweh and have served the Baals and the Ashtoreths. But now rescue us from the hand of our enemies, and we will serve you.'
11 Chutengle, Pakaiyin Gideon, Bedan, Jephthah chule Samuel asol in muntina namel mate hou khut’a konin neihuhdoh’un lungmong in acheng tauvin ahi.
So Yahweh sent Jerub Baal, Bedan, Jephthah, and Samuel, and gave you victory over your enemies all around you, so that you lived in security.
12 “Pakai na Pathen-u chu nalengpao ahilaiyin, Ammon chate lengpa Nahash nangho douna-a ahung namu phat un, nanghon kahenga, ahipoi, leng khat in kachunguva vai ahomding ahibouve natiuve,
When you saw that Nahash the king of the people of Ammon came against you, you said to me, 'No! Instead, a king must reign over us'—although Yahweh your God, was your king.
13 Tun veuvin, nanghon nalhen ule na ngaichat’u lengpa chu hikoma aume chule veuvin, Pakaiyin nachunguva leng khat atungtai.
Now here is the king whom you have chosen, whom you have asked for and whom Yahweh has now appointed as king over you.
14 Tun Pakai nagin uva chule nahou uva, chule athusei chu na ngai uva, nadoudal loubeh uva ahileh nangho le na lengpau vin Pakai chu Pathen ahi ti avetsah na ahitai.
If you fear Yahweh, serve him, obey his voice, and not rebel against the command of Yahweh, then both you and the king who reigns over you will be followers of Yahweh your God.
15 Ahinlah Pakai thusei chu nadoudal vang uleh, chule na ngaipeh lou uva ahivangle, akhut nachunguva gihsa ding, nangle namite chunga chu ding.
If you do not obey the voice of Yahweh, but rebel against the commands of Yahweh, then Yahweh's hand will be against you, as it was against your ancestors.
16 Pakaiyin, thil lentah tah abol ding ho, tun dingdoh uvin lang ven,” ati.
Even now present yourself and see this great thing which Yahweh will do before your eyes.
17 “Nanghon naheuve, tuphat hi suhlou chang at-lai ahin go ajuji pon ahi, ahin tao leng Pakaiyin van kithinsah in tin go ju ding ahi. Hiteng chule Pakai koma leng nathumu chu Ama douna melse tah a chonse nahiu kihet tauvin nate,” ati.
Is it not the wheat harvest today? I will call upon Yahweh, that he may send thunder and rain. Then you will know and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of Yahweh, in asking for yourselves a king.”
18 Chuin Samuel in Pakai akouvin ahile, hiche nikho chun Pakaiyin vanginle keh ahin sol’in, hiti chun mipi chun Pakai le Samuel aging tauvin ahi.
So Samuel called to Yahweh; and that same day Yahweh sent thunder and rain. Then all the people greatly feared Yahweh and Samuel.
19 Mijouse chun Samuel hengah, “Pakai henga neitaopeh un, achuti louva ahileh kathigam diu ahi,” atiuve. “Tua hi leng ithum jeh uva chonset ikiholbe’u ahitai,” atiuve.
Then all the people said to Samuel, “Pray for your servants to Yahweh your God, so that we do not die. For we have added to all our sins this evil in asking for a king for ourselves.”
20 Hichun Samuel in, “Kichahih uvin, nabol khel’u ahitai, ahinlah Pathen phaten dihtah in hou-uvin nalungthim pumpin houvun, chule kinungle kit bol hih’un,” atin ahi.
Samuel replied, “Do not be afraid. You have done all this evil, but do not turn away from Yahweh, but serve Yahweh with all your heart.
21 “Nungchon hih beh’un, nungchon a milim pao theilou hochun napanpi louhel diu ahi, hiho chu pannabei jeng ahiuve.
Do not turn away after empty things that cannot profit or rescue you, because they are useless.
22 Pakaiyin amite itih hijongle adalhah louhel ding ahi, ajeh chu adalhah'a ahile ama amin lentah chu asuhminset ding ahi. Hijeh chun Pakaiyin nangho amite dia agot hi ama lunglhaina ahi,” ati.
For the sake of his great name, Yahweh will not reject his people, because it has pleased Yahweh to make you a people for himself.
23 “Keima vang, nangho ding’a taopeh hi ka ngah’a, hichu Pakai douna-a kachonset louhel ding ahi. Chule thilpha le thildih nabol jing diuhi nangma kahil jing ding ahi.
As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against Yahweh by ceasing to pray for you. Instead, I will teach you the way that is good and right.
24 Ahinlah hiche hi naboltei diu ahi, Pakai chu ging’un chule tahsan umtah in jen’un, chule nangho ding’a thilkidang abol jouse chu geldoh jing’un.
Only fear Yahweh and serve him in truth with all your heart. Consider the great things he has done for you.
25 Ahinlah nachonset jom jing uva ahileh, nangho le nalengpau kisumang ding ahi,” ati.
But if you persist in doing evil, both you and your king will be destroyed.”
