1 Samuel 15
1 Nikhat Saul koma Samuel chun, “Israelte chunga leng dinga nangma thaonu dinga eina sol’a chu Pakai amatah chu ahi, hijeh a chu tua Pakai thusei hi nangaiding ahi,” ati.
Samuel said to Saul, "The LORD sent me to anoint you to be king over Israel. Now therefore listen to the voice of the words of the LORD.
2 Hiche hi van gam sepaite Pakaiyin aphondoh ahi, Israel mite Egypt a kona ahung potdoh uva chu lampia iti analamtin jeh uva, Amalek chunga hi talen kamatsah ding ahitai.
Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, how he set himself against him in the way, when he came up out of Egypt.
3 Tun che unlang Amalek mite chu abonchan gathat gamkeijun, nao noichep ho geija natha ding’u, khatcha jong nakhen lou diu, pasal, numei, chapang, naosen, bong, kelcha, sangongsao, chule sangan ho chang geiya natha gam diu ahi,” ati.
Now go and strike Amalek and put them and everything that belongs to them under the ban. And do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.'"
4 Chutah’in Saul in mipi ho chu Telaim mun’ah akhomin, amaho chu Israel mite’a konin keng sepai sang jani chule Judah a kona mi sangsom ahiuve.
Saul summoned the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
5 Chuin Saul le a sepaite chu Amalek te khopi’ah alut un, phaicham mun khat’ah chun angah tauve.
Saul came to the city of Amalek, and lay in wait in the valley.
6 Saul in Ken miteho gihna thu apen, “Amalek miho umna-a konin potdoh’un, achuti louva ahile Amalek mihotoh nathitha dingu ahi, Nangho vang chu kami Israel chate jouse Egypt’a kona ahung potdoh uchun hepina namusah un ahi,” tin thu apen ahi. Chuin Ken mihon apot akigot’un adalha tauve.
Saul said to the Kenites, "Go, depart, go down from among Amalek, lest I sweep you away with them; for you showed kindness to the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt." So the Kenites departed from among Amalek.
7 Chuin Saul in Amalek mite chu Havilah apat solam Egypt toh kigalsai Shur khopi lutna geijin gal ana sat’in asumangpeh tan ahi.
Saul struck Amalek, from Havilah as you go to Shur, that is before Egypt.
8 Chuin aman Amalek lengpa chu ahing in aman in midang jouse chu chemjam in athat soh hel tan ahi.
He took Agag the king of Amalek alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
9 Ahinlah Saul le mipi chun, Amalek mi Agag le kelngoi, kelcha, bongchal thao hole ahoipen ho ahing hoijun, aphalou ahoilou chengse chu asumanghel tan ahi.
But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and the cattle, and the fat ones and the lambs, and all that was good, and wouldn't utterly destroy them; but everything that was despised and rejected, that they utterly destroyed.
10 Chuin Pakaiyin Samuel komah aseijin ahi,
Then the word of the LORD came to Samuel, saying,
11 “Saul lenga kana tun hi kakisihtai ajeh chu aman eidonse tapon chule kathupeh ho jong anit tapoi,” ati. Hiche thu Samuel in ajahdoh phat in alung atongkhan, jan khovah hellin Pakai hengah akaptai.
"It grieves me that I have made Saul king; for he has turned back from following me, and has not carried out my commandments." And Samuel was angry; and he cried to the LORD all night.
12 Ajing jingkah matah in Samuel jong Saul kimupi dingin achetan ahile, mi khat’in, “Saul chun Carmel khopi’a amale ama kihet jingna ding mangmo khat akisem din Gilgal lam achesuh tan ahi,” tin aseipeh tan ahi.
And Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning; and it was told Samuel, saying, "Saul came to Carmel, and look, he set up a monument for himself, and turned, and passed on, and went down to Gilgal." And Samuel came to Saul, and look, he was offering up a burnt offering to the LORD, the best of the spoils which he had brought from Amalek.
13 Chuin Samuel in Saul chu amu phat in, Saul in kipah tah’in ana salam, “Pakaiyin phatthei naboh hen, keiman Pakai seibang bangin kaboltai,” atin ahi.
And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, "You are blessed by the LORD. I have performed the commandment of the LORD."
14 Samuel in, “Ahile kanabeng’a kelngoi hamgin le bongchal hamgin kajah hi ipiba hija ong?” ati.
Samuel said, "Then what does this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the cattle which I hear mean?"
15 Hichun Saul in adonbut in, “Adih’e, kasepai tehon amale Amalek mite akona ahin kaiju ahi, ajeh chu mipihon kelngoi hole bongchal aphapen penho chu, ‘Pakai na Pathen lhaina dinga ahing hoiju ahi,’ adangho vang kasumang heltaove,” ati.
And Saul said, "I have brought them from Amalek; for the people spared the best of the sheep and the cattle to sacrifice to the LORD your God, and I have utterly destroyed the rest."
16 Chuin Samuel’in Saul koma aseiyin, “Thip in! Tujan Pakaiyin kahenga thu asei hi ngaijin!” ati. Hichun Saul in, “Ipi naseipeh em?” tin Saul in adongin ahi.
Then Samuel said to Saul, "Stay, and I will tell you what the LORD has said to me last night." He said to him, "Say on."
17 Chuin Samuel in, “Nangma neocha nakigel maithei ahi, nangma Israel nam mite jouse lah’a lamkai nahi hilou ham? Pakaiyin leng dinga thaonanu ahi.
Samuel said, "Though you were little in your own sight, weren't you made the head of the tribes of Israel? The LORD anointed you king over Israel;
18 Chule Pakai in anatong dinga nasolla, chen michonse Amalek mite gathat gamkeijin atin.
and the LORD sent you on a journey, and said to you, 'Go, and utterly destroy those sinners, Amalek, and fight against them until you have destroyed them.'
19 Ipi bolla Pakai thupeh nanit louham? Ipi jeh pentah jeh a thil nachom’a Pakai mitmua thilse nabol ham?” ati.
Why then did you not obey the voice of the LORD, but took the spoils, and did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD?"
20 Saul’in, “Ahinlah Pakai thupeh kabolle, bollin tia eisol na kagabolle. Agag lengpa bou ahing’a kahin kai ahin. Ahin adangse vang kahin that gamnai,” ati nalaiyin ahi.
Saul said to Samuel, "But I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed Amalek.
21 Chutengle kasepaiten, kelngoi, kelcha, bongchal, athaolai, ahoilai hole thil kichom hohi Gilgal’a na Pathen houna-a dinga ahin kaiyu ahibouve,” ati.
But the people took of the spoil, sheep and cattle, the chief of the devoted things, to sacrifice to the LORD your God in Gilgal."
22 Ahin Samuel in, “Pakai chu pumgo thilto kibol le athupeh ngaipeh hi hoijoh’a hi kipah inte natim? Ngaijin! Sei ngai kitihi gan kilhai sanga phajo ahin, kangcha athusei ngaipeh kitihi kelngoichal thao sang’a phajo ahi,” tin adonbut in ahi.
Samuel said, "Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Look, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.
23 Pakai doumah kibol kiti hi kithoi phunsan tobang ahin, chule louchal kiti hi doi houva themmo chan tobang ahi. Pakai thupeh napai jeh a Aman leng nahina’a kona napai ahitai,” ati.
For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has also rejected you from being king."
24 Saul in, “Henge, keima kachonsetai, keiman neihilna hojong kangaipon chule Pakai thupeh jong kanit tapoi, kasepaite kagin jeh’a athil thum hou kabolpeh ahitai,” ati.
Saul said to Samuel, "I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and your words, because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
25 “Hijeh chun kachonsetna hohi nei ngaidam in lang chule Pathen kahou thei nadin nei kinung lhonpin,” ati.
Now therefore, please pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD."
26 Ahinlah Samuel in adonbut in, “Keitoh ikinung lhon theilou ding ahi! Pakai thupeh na paimang jeh’a, aman Israel te lenga kona napaidoh ahitai,” ati.
Samuel said to Saul, "I will not return with you; for you have rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD has rejected you from being king over Israel."
27 Hichun Samuel chemang dinga akiheiya ahile, aman asangkhol chol mong chun aman in aloi eh-lotan ahi.
As Samuel turned about to go away, he grabbed the skirt of his robe, and it tore.
28 Chuin Samuel in ajah ah, “Tunia hi Pakaiyin Israelte lenggam chu nanga kona nalah peh’a, nang sanga phajo khat apeh doh ahitai,” ati.
Samuel said to him, "The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day, and has given it to a neighbor of yours who is better than you.
29 “Israel Pathen lal loupi tah chun ajou louding, alung jong khel lou ding ahi, ajeh chu ama lungkhel ding mihem tobang ahipoi,” ati
And also the Eternal One of Israel will not retract or change his mind; for he is not a man that he should change his mind."
30 Hichun Saul’in ngaidam athum kit in, “Chonse kahi, keiman kakihet e, ahin nei lungset in, kalamkai ho masang le, kami Israel mite masanga kajum lou nadin, nei kilhonpi tei teijin, chutile Pakai na Pathen kahou ding ahi,” ati.
Then he said, "I have sinned: yet please honor me now before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and come back with me, that I may worship the LORD your God."
31 Hichun Samuel jong achaina in kinung lhonpi ding anomtai, chule Pathen houna ah ajaotai.
So Samuel went back with Saul; and he worshiped the LORD.
32 Chuin Samuel in, “Agag lengpa chu kaheng’a hinpuijun,” atin ahile, Agag lengpa jong kinemtah in akipah lheh in ahi, ajeh chu ama alunggel’a chu, “kagim na ho kichaiya, eikilhadoh di ahitai,” tia agel ahi.
Then Samuel said, "Bring here to me Agag the king of Amalek." And Agag came to him trembling. And Agag said, "Surely death is bitter."
33 Ahinlah Samuel in, “Nachemjam’a hi minu acha pasal tamtah nana that in, tun nanu jong hitobanga chu chaneilou hitahen,” atin ahi. Chuin Samuel in Agag chu Pakai masang ah Gilgal mun ah asatchen chen tan ahi.
Samuel said, "As your sword has made women childless, so your mother will be childless among women." Samuel cut Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.
34 Chuin Samuel Ramah a ainlam ajon in chule Saul jong Gibeah a ain’ah akile tai.
Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah.
35 Chujou kalsen Samuel in Saul kimupin ache kha-ngai tapoi, ahinlah tanglou vin alunghempi jingin ahi. Pakaiyin Saul Israel te lenga anatun chu akisih lheh jenge.
And Samuel did not see Saul again until the day of his death; for Samuel mourned for Saul. And the LORD grieved that he had made Saul king over Israel.
