1 Samuel 4
1 Hiche phat laiya chu Israelte le Philistine mite kikah-a gal kidouna uma ahi. Israel sepai hon Ebenezer koma ngahmun uma ahi, chule Philistine ten Aphek mun-a ngahmun aneiyu ahi.
And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Ebenezer: and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.
2 Philistine ten Israel mite gallin ahin nokhum un ahile Israel sepai ten ana lal’un mi sangli jen ana that tauve.
And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.
3 Chuin gal kisat akichaiya mipite a ngahmun ahung lhunphat un, Israel upa ho chun, “Ipi jeh’a tunia Pakaiyin Philistine masanga gal eilalsah u hintem?” Chuin amahon aseiyun, “Shiloh a konin Pakai kitepna thingkong chu eiho ding in gapudoh uhitin, hichu ilahuva ahung lhun tengle, hichun igalteuva kon in eihuhdoh thei tauvinte,” akitiuvin ahi.
And when the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Why hath the LORD smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh to us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us from the hand of our enemies.
4 Hijeh chun amahon Shiloh’a Pakai kitepna van gam sepaite, Cherubim vantil teni kikah’a cheng, Pathen thingkong pudingin mi asol’un, chule Eli chateni Hophni le Phinehas chu Pathen kitepna thingkong chutoh ahung lhon khom’in ahi.
So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from there the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, who dwelleth between the cherubim: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
5 Chutah chun Pakai thingkong chu Israelte ngahmun ahung lhun amu phat un, akiphah lheh jeng un, akipanau aogin chun leiset ahotling leuvin ahi.
And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth shook.
6 Hichun, “Ipi soh hitam?” tin Philistine miten adong uvin, “Gingleng lunga a ao gin’u ajah phat’un, Hebrew mite ngahmun ging leng lung khu ipithu hitam?” akitiuve. Chuin amahon Pakai kitepna thingkong ngahmun hung lhung ahi ti ahechen tauve.
And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the LORD had come into the camp.
7 Amaho alung linglao tauvin ahi. “Pathen ngahmun uva ahung lhung tai,” tin asam’un, akicha tauvin ahi. Chuin amaho penguvin, “Ohe! Hiche hi vangsetna ahi!” Tumasanga chu hitobang thil hi ana um khalou hel ahi.
And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God hath come into the camp. And they said, Woe to us! for there hath not been such a thing before.
8 “Hitobang hat tah Israel Pathen akona kon eihuhhing jou diu ham? Nei panpiuvin! Egypt gam'a gamthip a hivei jouse sugama Pathen hochu ahiuve.
Woe to us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness.
9 Hitobang kisatna anaum khapoi, Philistine! Ihatlou-ule Hebrew mite soh a ium diu ahi, pasal bang in dingun, chule sat’un,” akitiuve.
Be strong, and acquit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye may not be servants to the Hebrews, as they have been to you: acquit yourselves like men, and fight.
10 Chuin Philistine ten jong nasatah in gal asat’un ahile, Israel mite chu ajou un mihem tamtah jong athat tauvin ahi. Hiche nikho chun Israelte mi sang somthum athiuvin, athimoh chengse chu a ngahmun lamah ajam tauvin ahi.
And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
11 Pathen kitepna thingkong jong alah peh’un, Eli chapa teni Hophi le Phinehas jong chu athat tauvin ahi.
And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
12 Benjamin phung mikhat galmun akonin ahung lhailut in, hiche ni mama chun Shiloh ahung lhung in, apon taldeh duh le aluchung’a leisetnat dehduh pumin ahung lhailut in, hichun agentheina avetsah ahi.
And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes torn, and with earth upon his head.
13 Eli chu lam pama touna chung khat’a touva anavet ahin, chule thuso chu ajah nom ahi, Ajeh chu Kitepna thingkong akipohdoh jeh’u chun alungsung akithing in ahi. Chule hiche mipa khopi sunga hunglut phat chun thusoh chu aseijin ahile, khopi pumpi miho chu hakan akap tauvin ahi.
And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the way side watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.
14 “Hiche awgin kithong khu ipi ham,” tin Eli in adongin ahile, thupopa chun Eli chu thusoh chu aseipeh tai.
And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli.
15 Eli chu tehse kum somko le get, amit in kho mulou ahitai.
Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see.
16 Aman Eli heng’ah, “Keima tutah’a chu galmuna kona hung’ah kahi, keimatah tuni tah’a hia chu uma kahi,” ati. Hichun Eli in, “Ipi iti nam?” tin adonge.
And the man said to Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son?
17 Hichun thupopan, “Israelten Philistine techu alal tai, mipite akisat chaptai chule nacha teni Hophni le Phinahas jong athat tauve chujongle Pathen Thingkong jong ala tauve,” tin ana donbut in ahi.
And the messenger answered and said, Israel hath fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.
18 Thupopan Pathen thingkong ala taove ti thucheng ajah jah chun Eli thempu atouna kelkot pang langah akon in akileh lhan a ngongpi gu akitaboh in athitai, ajeh chu amachu ateh lheh tan chuke atahsa gih jong apohlal lheh ahi. Ama chun kum somli jen Israel te thutan vaihom ajong anapang ahi.
And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck broke, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
19 Eli thempu mounu, Phinehas inneipi, naovop ahin, anao pen nading naija ahitan, ainneipu thile atehpu thi chule Pathen thingkong kipohmang thu ajah jah chun naoso nat’in ahin phan anavah pai pai jin ahi.
And his daughter in law, the wife of Phinehas, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father in law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came upon her.
20 Amanu chu naopen nat-in athitai, ahinlah athi masangin naodom nun atilkhou vin alhamon in, “Kicha hihin, Pasal naosen khat naneiye,” ati peh’e. Ahinlah amanun ima ana donbut thei tapoi.
And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said to her, Fear not; for thou hast borne a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it.
21 Naosen min chu Ichabod asahtai, (Loupina hoiya um hitam? tina ahi), ajeh chu, “Israel loupina chu akiladoh tai.” Amanun hiche min asahpeh najeh chu Pakai thingkong min akipohmang jeh le, atehpu le ainneipu athi tah jeh a asah ahi.
And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory hath departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband.
22 Hiti chun amanun Pathen thingkong alah mang peh jeh uva, “Loupina chu Israel tetoh kikhen kang ahitai,” tia asei ahi.
And she said, The glory hath departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.
