1 Samuel 28
1 Phat chomkhat jouvin, Philistine miten gamsunga a sepai jouse akikhom un, Israel mite toh kisat ding in akigo tauve. Achish lengpan David jah’ah, “Nangle na sepaiten galsat na-a neipan khompi diu ginchat aume,” ati.
And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their hosts together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David: 'Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me in the host, thou and thy men.'
2 David jong nom in, “Aphalheh jenge! Ichan kabol the idol natahsa tah a namu ding ahi,” ati. Chuti chun Achish in David jah-a, “Keiman keima hinkho eivengtup dia kasem ding nahi,” ati.
And David said to Achish: 'Therefore thou shalt know what thy servant will do.' And Achish said to David: 'Therefore will I make thee keeper of my head for ever.'
3 Samuel athi phat in, Israel pumpin alhaset piuvin, along a-op uvin, ama akhopi sung ma ma Ramah ah avuitauvin ahi. Chule Saul in agamsunga gaochang jouse le phunsan ho athisa ho lhagao ho toh kihoutoh ho jouse anomang tan ahi.
Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that divined by a ghost or a familiar spirit out of the land.
4 Philistine te akikou khom’un, Shunem ah ngahmun asauvin chule Saul in Israel sepai jouse akhomin Gilboa ah ngahmun asem in ahi.
And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa.
5 Saul in Philistine sepai tamtah amuphat in akicha behseh jeng in alungthim alinglao lheh jengtan ahi.
And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.
6 Hichun aman, ipi kabolding hitam tin Pakai adongin, ahinlah Pakaiyin adonbut tapoi, mang hihenlang, chule Urim le Thummim phunsan jong chule themgao hijongle iman adonbut tapoi.
And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.
7 Chuin Saul in athumop a pang ho asol’in, “Cheuvin lang Gaochang numei nei gahol peh un, keima chengting ama nu chu kagadoh ding ahi,” ati. Hitichun athumop a pang ho khat in, “Endor mun ah Gaochang numei khat aume,” ahin atipeh in ahi.
Then said Saul unto his servants: 'Seek me a woman that divineth by a ghost, that I may go to her, and inquire of her.' And his servants said to him: 'Behold, there is a woman that divineth by a ghost at En-dor.'
8 Hichun Saul in athempu von chol akhellin von mai mai in akivon in, jan in sepai mi ni akipuijin numeinu in'a chun acheuvin ahi. Chun aman, “Keiman athisa mi khat kakihoupi nome, a lhagao neikou peh thei dem?” ati.
And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night; and he said: 'Divine unto me, I pray thee, by a ghost, and bring me up whomsoever I shall name unto thee.'
9 Numeinu chun, “Nangman tha ding a neigot ham? Saul in gamsunga kona gaochang jouse le phunsan them jouse adelmang hi nahet ding ahi. Chutia ahileh nangman ipi dinga keima kipalsahtei ding neigot ham?” ati.
And the woman said unto him: 'Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that divine by a ghost or a familiar spirit out of the land; wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?'
10 Ahinlah Saul chu Pakai min pan in akihah sellin akitem in ahi. “Tahbeh’a hingjing Pakai mina kasei ahi, hiche nabol jeh hin ima thilse umponte,” ati.
And Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying: 'As the LORD liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.'
11 Achainan numeinun jong, “Aphai, koipentah lhagao kakoudoh peh ding ham?” atile Saul in, “Samuel lhagao neikoudoh peh in,” ati.
Then said the woman: 'Whom shall I bring up unto thee?' And he said: 'Bring me up Samuel.'
12 Numeinun Samuel amu phat in, ahung pengjah jeng in, “Nangman neijou lhep’e, nangma Saul nahi!” ati.
And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying: 'Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.'
13 Hichun Lengpan amanu komah, “Kicha hih in, koi namum?” atile amanun jong, “Pathen khat kamun leisetna konin ahung pot doh’e,” ahin ti.
And the king said unto her: 'Be not afraid; for what seest thou?' And the woman said unto Saul: 'I see a godlike being coming up out of the earth.'
14 Saul in, “Amapa chu koitoh kilou’em? Ama chu tehsepu ahin, sangkhol chol khat aki’ah e,” ati. Saul in Samuel ahi ahechentan, chuin amasanga tol’ah abohkhup’in chibai abohtai.
And he said unto her: 'What form is he of?' And she said: 'An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a robe.' And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and prostrated himself.
15 Hichun Samuel in, “Ipi jeh’a neisuh boiya, neinung kou ham?” Chuin Saul in, “Ajeh chu keima kaboina asanglhehtai, Philistine ten galsat din ahung kigo uvin, Pathen in eidalhatan, themgao ahiloule mang in jong eihetsah tapoi. Hijeh a chu nang kahin doh ahi, Ipi katiding hitam?” ati.
And Samuel said to Saul: 'Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up?' And Saul answered: 'I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams; therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do.'
16 Ahinla Samuel in adonbut in, “Pathen in nadalhah tah’a, chule agalmi nahitah’a ahile, Ibola kei neidoh ham?” ati.
And Samuel said: 'Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine adversary?
17 “Pathenyin asei banga abol ahitai. Nalengam nanga kona alhe lhah a chule David joh apeh ahitai.
And the LORD hath wrought for Himself; as He spoke by me; and the LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thy hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David.
18 Pakai thupeh jouse napalkeh’a, alungnat na naboldoh a, Amalek mite le anei jouseu nasuhmang hel lou jeh'a tuahi Pakaiyin hita abol ahitai.
Because thou didst not hearken to the voice of the LORD, and didst not execute His fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing unto thee this day.
19 Chule jing nikho teng le nang le na sepai teho jouse Philistine te khut’a apeh doh ding ahitai, chule nangma le nachapa kaheng’a hung ding nahi lhon tai. Israel sepaite jong Pakaiyin Philistine te khut’a pedohtante,” ati
Moreover the LORD will deliver Israel also with thee into the hand of the Philistines; and to-morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me; the LORD will deliver the host of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines.'
20 Samuel thucheng seiho atijat behseh jeng jeh in, Saul chu tol’ah akijam jangden jengin ahi. Sun le jan’a an nelouva aum jeh in, agilkel in alhalhop jeng tan ahi.
Then Saul fell straightway his full length upon the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel; and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.
21 Numeinu chea agavet le, atijat val chu amudoh in, “Kapu, neilungset’in kenbon kahinkho phalngam’a neidoh ho kanop’a kabolpeh ngam le,
And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore affrighted, and said unto him: 'Behold, thy handmaid hath hearkened unto thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spokest unto me.
22 Tun nangman jong kasei bangin bollin, neh ding phabep kapeh ding nahin, nenlang natha kidodoh sah kit in,” ati.
Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the voice of thy handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy way.'
23 Ahinlah Saul in ima neh ding anom pon, Chule avaipote ho geiyin nehsah tei ding agouvin, akhon khon nan anomin tol’a konin ahung kithoudoh in jalkhun chung’a atousah tauvin ahi.
But he refused, and said: 'I will not eat.' But his servants, together with the woman, urged him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed.
24 Hiche numeinu hin aina bongnou thaochet khat anei ahin, hichu agathat loiyin, changbong toh ameh nangjet in, cholsolouvin changlhah akangtan ahi.
And the woman had a fatted calf in the house; and she made haste, and killed it; and she took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof;
25 Chuin changlhah le bongsa chu Saul le aloi teni chu athuh peh in ahile amahon anetauve. Aneh jou phat un hcihe jan chun amaho ahung kile kit tauve.
and she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night.
