1 Samuel 7
1 Hijeh chun Kiriath-jearim mite chu ahung uvin Pakai thingkong chu ahung kilah tauve. Amahon Pakai thingkong chu thinglhang lama Abinadab inah alhut’un, achingtup dingin Eleazer achapa ngansena anei tauve.
And the men of Kirjath-jearim came, and fetched up the ark of Jehovah, and brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill, and hallowed Eleazar his son to keep the ark of Jehovah.
2 Thingkong chu phat sottah kum somni vel Kiriath-jearim muna um ahi. Hiche phatsung chun Israel pumpi chu ana lunghem lheh jeng uve, ajeh chu amahon Pakaiyin nampi chu adalhah bang’a a agel u ahi.
And it came to pass, from the day that the ark abode in Kirjath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years. And all the house of Israel lamented after Jehovah.
3 Chuin Samuel in Israel pumpi jah’ah, “Nangho atahbeh’a Pakai heng lam’a hung kile nom mong nahiule, nangho lah’a um gamchom mite indoi Ashtoreth chu paidoh un, chule Pakaiya dingin nalung sung’u kigong tup unlang, amabou jen’un chutileh Aman Philistine mite akona nahuhdoh thei diu ahi,” ati.
And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, If ye return to Jehovah with all your heart, put away the strange gods and the Ashtoreths from among you, and apply your hearts unto Jehovah, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.
4 Hijeh chun Israel miten jong amahoa um Baal chule Ashtoreth gamchom mite indoi chu apaidoh’un, Pakai jengbou ahou tauve.
And the children of Israel put away the Baals and the Ashtoreths and served Jehovah only.
5 Chuin Samuel in, “Israel mite jouse nabonchauvin Mizpah mun’ah hung kikhom un, chutengle keima nangho dingin tao vinge,” ati.
And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray Jehovah for you.
6 Hijeh chun Israel mite jong Mizpah mun’ah akikhom khom’un, Pakai hounan twi agathal uvin Pakai angsunga asung lhauvin, hiche nikho chun an angol uvin, Pakai douna a achonset nau akisihun ahi. (Hiche Mizpah muna chu Samuel Israelte thutanna ahung pang na chu ahi).
And they gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before Jehovah, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against Jehovah. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah.
7 Philistine lamkai hon Israel mite Mizpeh mun’ah akikhom uve tithu ajah phat’un, asepai ho akigon tupsah’un ahi. Philistine miten eihin nai tauve ti ajah phat’un Israel mite jong akicha lheh jeng’un ahi.
And the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together at Mizpah; and the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel; and the children of Israel heard [it], and were afraid of the Philistines.
8 “Pakai Pathen in Philistine te khut a kona eihuhdoh na diuva, taona’a ilhahsam louhel diu ahi,” tin Samuel komah ngehna ahung neijuve.
And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry to Jehovah our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.
9 Chuin Samuel in kengoinou khat alan Pakai hengah katdohna pumgo thilto maicham asem’in ahi. Aman Israel mite taopehna aneiyin, Pathen in ataona asanpeh tan ahi.
And Samuel took a sucking-lamb, and offered it as a whole burnt-offering to Jehovah; and Samuel cried to Jehovah for Israel, and Jehovah answered him.
10 Samuel in hiche govam thilto abollaijin, Philistinete chu Israelte sat dingin ahung naijun, ahi. Ahinlah Pakai in kidang tah’in van aginsah in, keh alhah sah in, hiche nikho chun Philistine te boinan alhun den’un, Israel chaten galjona anei tauve.
And as Samuel was offering up the burnt-offering, the Philistines advanced to battle against Israel. And Jehovah thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were routed before Israel.
11 Chuin Israelte chu Mizpah a konin apot doh’un, Philistine techu anungdal’un, Beth-car aphah kahseu vin athat tou peh’un ahi.
And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, as far as below Beth-car.
12 Chuin Samuel in songtumlen khat alan Mizpah le Jeshanah kikah ah aphut’in, aman hiche mun chu EBENEZER asah’in ahi. Ajeh chu, “Hilai mun chan’ah Pathen in ei kithopiuve,” ati.
And Samuel took a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, and said, Hitherto Jehovah has helped us.
13 Hijeh chun phat chomkhat sungin Philistine miten Irael mite ahin nokhum tapouve. Chule Samuel phatlai sungsen, Pathen thahat najallin Philistne mite anem lhauvin ahi.
And the Philistines were subdued, and came no more into the borders of Israel; and the hand of Jehovah was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
14 Chule Philistine miten Israel mite’a analah peh’u, Ekron chule Gath koma khopi analah ho jong Israelte alepeh kittan, chule agam kimvel jouse jong chu Philistine te khutna konin Israelten alelah kit tauvin ahi. Chule Israel mite le Amon mite kah’a chamna aumin ahi.
And the cities that the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and their territory did Israel deliver out of the hand of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorite.
15 Chule Samuel in adamlai sungin Israel mite thu ana tan’in ahi.
And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
16 Akumseh leh gamsung akhol kimvellin, Bethel le Gilgal, chule Mizpah a ache velkol jingin ahi. Aman Israel mite chungah, adeh in hiche munho lah’a hin thu anatan jin ahi.
And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpah, and judged Israel in all those places.
17 Chule Ramah kho’a ain aumjeh chun ain’ah ahung kilejin, chule Israelte thu anatan jin ahi. Chule Samuel in Ramah a chun Pakaiya ding in maicham khat asemin ahi
And his return was to Ramah; for there was his house, and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar to Jehovah.
