1 Samuel 2

1 Chuin hiti hin Hannah ataovin, “Kalungsung Pakaiyah akipah jinge, Pakaiyin eihat sah tai, Tun kamelma te donbutna ding kanei tai; Kakipahe’ ajeh chu nangman neilhatdoh tai.

“My heart exults in the Lord, and my horn is exalted in my God. My mouth is enlarged over my enemies. For I have rejoiced in your salvation.

2 Pakai tobanga theng adang aumpoi! Nangma tobang koima dang aumpoi, Eiho Pathen tobang songpi dang aumpoi.

Nothing is holy as the Lord is holy. For there is no other beside you. And nothing is strong as our God is strong.

3 Kiletsah vallin thu seidan, Hoitho nathu Nakam’in phapoh hih hellin. ahetlou imacha aumpoi, natohho jouse thu atanding ahi.

Do not continue speaking of great things, boasting. Let what is old depart from your mouth. For the Lord is the God of knowledge, and thoughts are prepared for him.

4 Galhat te thalpi jouse tunvang akiheh bongtan, mi thalhom chu thahat akisotai.

The bow of the powerful has been overwhelmed, and the weak have been girded with strength.

5 Oi vasetna neten, nehding nelouvin kel thoh in aum’un, agilkelho avasoh tauve.

Those who before were filled, have hired themselves out for bread. And the starving have been filled, so that the barren have given birth to many. But she who had borne many sons has become unable.

6 Pakaiyin thinale hinna ani gellin apen, aman abang lhankhuh ah alhahsuh sah in, abang akaithouve. (Sheol h7585)

The Lord brings death, and he gives life. He leads away to death, and he brings back again. (Sheol h7585)

7 Pakai in abang avaichat sah’in, adang ahao sah in choisang in. abang alhahsuh sah in abang aphong ding in ahi.

The Lord impoverishes, and he enriches. He humbles, and he lifts up.

8 Aman vaichaho leivuija konin aphong sangin chule angaichate vutvam lah’a kon’in aneiloute achoisangin ahi. Leng chapate lah’a tousah dingle, loupina laltouna-a tousah-a, thilsemho jouse hi Pakai ja ding ahi, chule vannoija thilho jouse kitoh tah in akoiye.

He raises up the indigent from the dust, and he lifts up the poor from filth, so that they may sit with princes, and take hold of a throne of glory. For the hinges of the earth belong to the Lord, and he has placed the globe upon them.

9 Aman ama dinga tahsan umtah hochu aventup ding ahi, ahinlah michonse ho chu muthim lah’a mangthah ding ahiuve. Ajeh chu athahat na a koimacha dingjoulou ding ahi.

He will preserve the feet of his holy ones, and the impious will be silenced in darkness. For no man will prevail by his own strength.

10 Pakai douna-a galsat ho chu cheh chao ding ahiuve, amaho douna-a vana kona keh alhah sah ding ahi; Pakaiyin vana kon in thu ahin tan in amadinga thaonu changho chung ah, vannoija aman alengho thuneina apen athanei nao abelap peh in ahi.

The adversaries of the Lord will dread him. And over them, he will thunder in the heavens. The Lord will judge the parts of the earth, and he will give dominion to his king, and he will lift up the horn of his Christ.”

11 Chujouvin Samuel jaolouvin, Elkanah jong a in lam Ramah kho ah akiletan ahi.

And Elkanah went away to Ramah, to his house. But the boy was a minister in the sight of the Lord, before the face of Eli, the priest.

12 Eli chapa teni chu migilou michavai ahilhon toh kilhon’in Pakai gin nale jana pelou ahilhone.

But the sons of Eli were sons of Belial, not knowing the Lord,

13 Hichelaiya thempu hija atoh dingdol mi koi tobang hamkhat in kilhaina atodoh teng lhachapa chun, sa kithat kihonsou pet tah leh satul kathum neikhat ahin puma ahinsol jia ahi.

nor the priestly office for the people. And so, no matter who had immolated a victim, the servant of the priest would arrive, while the flesh was still cooking, and he would take a three-pronged hook in his hand,

14 Hiche thihkhe chu khangbel sunga asolutna, asodoh pen pen chu Eli chate apeh ding, Israel chate Shiloh a gan kilhaina hunglha jouse hitia chu gihna aneiji lhon ahi.

and put it into the vessel, or into the cauldron, or into the cooking pot, or into the pan, and all that the hook lifted up, the priest took for himself. So they did to all of Israel who arrived at Shiloh.

15 Abang komle sathaoho kilhutvam masangle thempupa sohpa chu hunga kilhaina ganthatpa jah’a chu hitia ahung sei jin, “Thempupa kigo ding sahing neipen, ajeh chu aman nangma honminsa chu akilah louhel ding ahi, sahing bou adei ahiye,” tia ahung sei ding ahi.

In addition, before they burned the fat, the servant of the priest would arrive, and he would say to the one who was immolating: “Give me the flesh, so that I may boil it for the priest. For I will not accept cooked meat from you, but raw.”

16 Mihem gan kilhaina kin sempa chun hitin adonbut jin ahi, “Nadeijat jat kilah in, ahinlah athao kihallha masading ahi,” atijin, ahin thempu sohpan jong, “Ahipoi nangman atuma neipeh doh ding ahi, achuti louva ahileh keiman pumhatna kalah Peh ding nahi,” tin aseijin ahi.

And the one who was immolating would say to him, “First, allow the fat to be burned today, according to custom, and then take for yourself whatever your soul desires.” But in response, he would say to him: “By no means. For you will give it to me now, otherwise I will take it by force.”

17 Hitichun hiche khangthah teni chonsetna chu akhohlheh jengtan, ajeh chu Pakai maicham jeng jong chu kimit thipna changing aneitauvin ahi.

Therefore, the sin of the servants was exceedingly great before the Lord. For they drew men away from the sacrifice of the Lord.

18 Ahinlah Samuel chu chapang cha hijongle, Pakai lhachan apangtai. Thempu kivonna tupat ponnem khat in akong akigah jin Pakai angsung ah lhachan apang jitan ahi.

But Samuel was ministering before the face of the Lord; he was a youth girded with a linen ephod.

19 Kumseh leh anun sangkhol chol neo khat akhuipeh in ainneipu toh kilhaina gantha bolding in achekhom lhonin ahi.

And his mother fashioned a little tunic for him, which she brought to him on the appointed days, ascending with her husband, so that he might immolate the solemn sacrifice.

20 Inlama ahung kile masang teng’u leh, Eli in Elkanah le ainneipi phatthei abohjin chule hitin aseiji’e, “Pakaiyin hiche na inneipi chapa khat napeh jeh in, amanu’a konin chale nao tampi nahinsah hen,” tin aseiye.

And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife. And he said to him, “May the Lord repay to you offspring from this woman, on behalf of the loan that you offered to the Lord.” And they went away to their own place.

21 Chule Pakaiyin chapa thumle chanu ni apen, hitichun Samuel chu Pakai angsung’a ahung khangtou touvin ahi.

Then the Lord visited Hannah, and she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. And the youth Samuel was magnified with the Lord.

22 Tun Eli chu ateh lheh jeng tan, chujong le achapa tenin Israel mi tampi abol nalhon thu kithang, kikhopna ponbuh kotpi phunga lhacha a pang numeiho aluppi lhon jong ajatai.

Now Eli was very old, and he heard all that his sons were doing to all of Israel, and how they were sleeping with the women who were waiting at the door of the tabernacle.

23 Hijeh chun Eli in ajah lhon ah, “Nathilbol lhon jouse Israel mipiten kakoma aseiyun kajasoh keitai, ipi bolla hitobang chonsetna hi nabol lhon ham?

And he said to them: “Why are you doing these kinds of things, very wicked things, that I have heard from all the people?

24 Na ngah teitei lhon ding ahi, kachateni! Pakai mitea kona kajah thucheng hohi ahoihih beh jeng in ahi.

My sons, do not be willing. For it is no good report that I am hearing, so that you would cause the people of the Lord to transgress.

25 Mihem khat chu mihem dang khat douna-a achonset na ahileh Pathen in asuhcham thei ahi, amavang mihem khat chu Pakai douna a achonsetna ahileh, koipen in ama dinga asei champeh ding hitam?” ati. Ahinlah Eli chapa tenin apa thusei ngainah sah in anei lhon poi. Hijeh chun Pakaiyin amani thina ding gonsan akoi tai.

If a man has sinned against a man, God may be able to be appeased over him. But if a man has sinned against the Lord, who will pray for him?” But they did not listen to the voice of their father, that the Lord was willing to kill them.

26 Chapang cha hijongle, Samuel vang chu Pakai le mihemte mitmu’n akhangtou touvin ahi.

But the youth Samuel advanced, and grew up, and he was pleasing to the Lord, as well as to men.

27 Nikhat hi Pathen mi khat Eli koma ahung in, ahin amachu Pakaiya konin thu ahinpo in, hitin aseipeh tai, “Keima, Egypt gamsung Pharaoh insunga sohchanga aumlaiyuva napa insung mite henga kei le kei kiphong doh’a kahitai.

Then a man of God went to Eli, and he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Was I not revealed openly to the house of your father, when they were in Egypt in the house of Pharaoh?

28 Keiman Aaron hi Israel phung jousea kona kathempu hiding chule ka maicham chunga thilto ding, gim namtwi halding chule kamasanga thempu sangkhol chol kivon’a, kakin tong ding’a kalhendoh nahi hilou ham? Chule Israel chatea kona kimudoh keidinga thilto jouse chu napa insung mite kapeh dohsa ahitai.

And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel for myself as priest, so that he might ascend to my altar, and burn incense to me, and wear the ephod before me. And I gave to the house of your father all the sacrifices of the sons of Israel.

29 Achutia ahileh ipi dinga kaumna a kathupeh gankilhaina le kathilto napai manga, kami Israelte thilpeh jousea kona ahoipen chun nathaodoh sah na dinga keisanga nachapa teni naja boljoh ham? Kami Israelte thilto aphalai laiya chu nangho kivah thaochet nahiu hitam?” ati.

Why have you kicked away my victims and my gifts, which I instructed to be offered in the temple? And why have you given more honor to your sons than to me, so that you eat the first-fruits of every sacrifice of my people Israel?

30 “Hijeh a chu Pakai Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye, keiman nangma Levi insungle napa insung chu imatih chana kathempu a pang diu ahi tia nasei sa ahin, ahinlah keima eija a chu keiman jong amachu kaja ding ahi, chule keima giltah’a eibol louva chu keiman jong kakhohsah lou ding ahi.

Because of this, the Lord God of Israel says: I have spoken clearly, so that your house, and the house of your father, may minister in my sight, even forever. But now the Lord says: May this be far from me. Instead, whoever will have glorified me, I will glorify him. But whoever despises me, they will be despised.

31 Phat ahung lhunge, vetan, Keiman nathaneina kasuh bei nading nikho ahung nai tul tule, Hiteng chule nain sunga pasal tehse khat chabeh jong hung umlou ding ahiye.

Behold the days are arriving, when I will cut off your arm, and the arm of the house of your father, so that there will not be an old man in your house.

32 Hiche phatteng chule Israel te kipe haona chu nangman ngaicha geova, namit lhilha lha a nahin vet ding ahi chujongle nainsunga kona pasal ateh’a thi khatna khat cha jong umdoh lou ding ahitai.

And you will see your rival in the temple, amid all the prosperity of Israel. And there will not be an old man in your house for all days.

33 Ahingdoh chasun jong gim hesoh thoh'a umdiu, chule achate hou jong thise jenga thi diu ahi.

Yet truly, I will not entirely take away a man of you from my altar, but such that your eyes may fail, and your soul may melt away, and a great part of your house may die out, as it pertains to the state of men.

34 Kathusei ho adih avetsahna chu, kathusei hochu hung guilhung ding, hichu nachateni chunga hung lhung ding, Hophni chule Phinehas, nikhat sunga ani lhon’a thiding ahi!

But this will be a sign to you, which will happen to your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas: on one day they both will die.

35 Chutengle keiman tahsan umtah thempu eijen dingle kalung deitah bolding katundoh ding ahi. Ainsung jeng jong katundoh peh a, chule amaho chu kaleng tundoh ho thempu a tonsot'a pang dingu ahi.

And I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who will act in accord with my heart and my soul. And I will build a faithful house for him. And he will walk before my Christ for all days.

36 Chuteng nainsung’a ahing chengse a angsunga bohkhup uva, paisa le an athum diu, “Lungset tah in” tia asei diu, natoh ding neipeuvin, thempuho lah ah, chuteng keihon nehding kham neitavinge, atidiu ahi,” ati.

Then this will be in the future, that whoever will have remained of your house, he will approach so that he may pray on his behalf. And he will offer a coin of silver, and a twist of bread. And he will say: ‘Permit me, I beg you, one part of the priestly office, so that I may eat a mouthful of bread.’”
