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.

And she said, "My heart rejoices in the LORD. My strength rises up in my God. My mouth boasts over my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation.

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

Truly, there is no one as holy as the LORD. Truly, there is no one besides you, nor is there any rock like our God.

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

Do not speak boastfully or let arrogance come out of your mouth, for the LORD is a God of knowledge. By him actions are weighed.

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

The bows of the mighty men are broken. Those who stumbled are armed with strength.

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

Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread. Those who were hungry are satisfied. Even the barren has borne seven, and she who has many children languishes.

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

The LORD kills, and makes alive. He brings down to Sheol, and brings up. (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 makes poor, and makes rich. He brings low, he also 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 poor out of the dust. He lifts up the needy from the dunghill, To make them sit with princes, and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are the LORD's. He has set the world on 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 guard the feet of his faithful ones, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness. For no man will prevail by 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 LORD will shatter his adversaries. He will thunder against them in the sky. "The LORD will judge the farthest parts of the earth. He will give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed."

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

And she went to Ramah, while the child served the LORD before Eli the priest.

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

Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they did not know 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.

The custom of the priests with the people was that when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was boiling, with a fork of three teeth 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 he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fork brought up the priest took therewith. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.

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.

Yes, before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man who sacrificed, "Give meat to roast for the priest; for he will not accept boiled 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.

If the man said to him, "Let the fat be burned first, and then take all of it which your soul desires"; then he would say, "No, but you shall give it to me now; and if not, 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.

The sin of the young men was very great before the LORD; for they despised the offering 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 ministered before the LORD, being a child, clothed with a linen ephod.

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

Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly 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 would bless Elkanah and his wife, and said, "May the LORD repay you with offspring by this woman for the gift which she made to the LORD." And the man returned to his home.

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

The LORD visited Hannah, and she bore more children, three sons and two daughters. The child Samuel grew before 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 what his sons did to the children of Israel (and how that they lay with the women who served at the door of the Tent of Meeting).

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 do you do such things as these that I hear being said of you from the mouth of the people of the LORD?

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

No, my sons, do not do this. For it is not a good report that I hear the people of the LORD spreading.

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 one man sins against another, he shall appeal to the LORD; but if a man sins against the LORD, who shall entreat for him?" But, they did not listen to the voice of their father, because the LORD intended to kill them.

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

The child Samuel grew on, and increased in favor both with the LORD, and also with 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.

A man of God came to Eli, and said, "Thus says the LORD, I plainly revealed myself to the house of your father, when they were slaves in Egypt to 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 to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod. And I gave to the house of your father all the offerings by fire of the children of Israel as food.

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.

Then why do you look at my sacrifice and my offering with a selfish eye, and honor your sons more than me in letting them eat from the first part of every offering of Israel before me?'

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.

"Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, says, 'I said indeed that your house, and the house of your father, should walk before me forever.' But now the LORD says, 'Be it far from me; for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

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.

Look, the days come, that I will cut off your descendants, and the descendants of your father's house, that there shall 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 distress in the dwelling place, in all that he does good with Israel. And there will not be an old man in your house all the days.

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

And the man of yours I do not cut off from my altar will be to cause his eyes to fail and to grieve his soul, and all the increase of your house will die by the sword 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!

"'This shall be the sign to you, that shall come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall both 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.

I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind. I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before my anointed forever.

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.

It shall happen, that everyone who is left in your house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, "Please put me into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread."'"
