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 come and bring up the Ark of YHWH, and bring it into the house of Abinadab, in the height, and they have sanctified his son Eleazar to keep the Ark of YHWH.
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 comes to pass, from the day of the dwelling of the Ark in Kirjath-Jearim, that the days are multiplied—indeed, they are twenty years—and all the house of Israel wails after YHWH.
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 speaks to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you are turning back to YHWH with all your heart—turn aside the gods of the stranger from your midst, and Ashtaroth; and prepare your heart for YHWH, and serve Him only, and He delivers 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 sons of Israel turn aside the Ba‘alim and Ashtaroth, and serve YHWH alone;
5 Chuin Samuel in, “Israel mite jouse nabonchauvin Mizpah mun’ah hung kikhom un, chutengle keima nangho dingin tao vinge,” ati.
and Samuel says, “Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I pray to YHWH 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 are gathered to Mizpeh, and draw water, and pour out before YHWH, and fast on that day, and say there, “We have sinned against YHWH”; and Samuel judges the sons of Israel in Mizpeh.
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 hear that the sons of Israel have gathered themselves to Mizpeh; and the princes of the Philistines go up against Israel, and the sons of Israel hear, and are afraid of the presence 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 sons of Israel say to Samuel, “Do not keep silent for us from crying to our God YHWH, and He saves 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 takes a fat lamb, and causes it to go up—a whole burnt-offering to YHWH; and Samuel cries to YHWH for Israel, and YHWH answers 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 Samuel is causing the burnt-offering to go up—and the Philistines have drawn near to battle against Israel—and YHWH thunders with a great noise, on that day, on the Philistines, and troubles them, and they are struck 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 go out from Mizpeh, and pursue the Philistines, and strike them to the place of 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 takes a stone, and sets [it] between Mizpeh and Shen, and calls its name Eben-Ezer, saying, “Until now YHWH 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 are humbled, and have not added anymore to come into the border of Israel, and the hand of YHWH is on 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 which the Philistines have taken from Israel are restored to Israel—from Ekron even to Gath—and Israel has delivered their border out of the hand of the Philistines; and there is peace between Israel and the Amorite.
15 Chule Samuel in adamlai sungin Israel mite thu ana tan’in ahi.
And Samuel judges 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 has gone from year to year, and gone around Beth-El, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel [in] all these 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 returning [is] to Ramath, for his house [is] there, and he has judged Israel there, and he builds an altar to YHWH there.
