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 also said to Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou 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 saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from 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 smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, 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.
And Saul gathered the people together, 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.
And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid 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.
And Saul said to the Kenites, Go, depart, withdraw yourselves from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye showed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up from Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
7 Chuin Saul in Amalek mite chu Havilah apat solam Egypt toh kigalsai Shur khopi lutna geijin gal ana sat’in asumangpeh tan ahi.
And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou comest to Shur, that is east of Egypt.
8 Chuin aman Amalek lengpa chu ahing in aman in midang jouse chu chemjam in athat soh hel tan ahi.
And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites 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 of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.
10 Chuin Pakaiyin Samuel komah aseijin ahi,
Then came the word of the LORD 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.
I repent that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; 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 when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and hast gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.
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, Blessed be thou of 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.
And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
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, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice to the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.
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 thee what the LORD hath said to me this night. And 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.
And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thy own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel?
18 Chule Pakai in anatong dinga nasolla, chen michonse Amalek mite gathat gamkeijin atin.
And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.
19 Ipi bolla Pakai thupeh nanit louham? Ipi jeh pentah jeh a thil nachom’a Pakai mitmua thilse nabol ham?” ati.
Why then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst 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.
And Saul said to Samuel, Yea, 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 the Amalekites.
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 oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the LORD thy 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.
And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken 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 as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee 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.
And Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy 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, I pray thee, 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.
And Samuel said to Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.
27 Hichun Samuel chemang dinga akiheiya ahile, aman asangkhol chol mong chun aman in aloi eh-lotan ahi.
And as Samuel turned about to depart, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, 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.
And Samuel said to him, The LORD hath torn the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou.
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 Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.
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 honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God.
31 Hichun Samuel jong achaina in kinung lhonpi ding anomtai, chule Pathen houna ah ajaotai.
So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped 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 said Samuel, Bring ye here to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came to him cheerfully. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
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.
And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed 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 of Saul.
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 came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
