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.
The men of Kiriath Jearim came and took up the ark of the LORD and brought it into the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.
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.
It happened, from the day that the ark stayed in Kiriath Jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.
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.
Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, "If you do return to the LORD with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts to the LORD, 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.
Then the children of Israel removed the Baals and the Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.
5 Chuin Samuel in, “Israel mite jouse nabonchauvin Mizpah mun’ah hung kikhom un, chutengle keima nangho dingin tao vinge,” ati.
Samuel said, "Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray for you to the LORD."
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).
They gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said, "We have sinned against the LORD." 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.
When the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. When the children of Israel heard it, they 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.
The children of Israel said to Samuel, "Do not cease to cry to the LORD your 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.
Samuel took a suckling lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt offering to the LORD: and Samuel cried to the LORD for Israel; and the LORD 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.
As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel; but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day on the Philistines, and confused them; and they were struck down 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.
The men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and struck them, as far as below Beth Kar.
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.
Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpah and Jashan, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, "The LORD helped us until now."
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.
So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more within the territory of Israel. The hand of the LORD 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.
The cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and Israel recovered its territory out of the hand of the Philistines. There was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
15 Chule Samuel in adamlai sungin Israel mite thu ana tan’in ahi.
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.
He went from year to year in circuit to Bethel and Gilgal, and Mizpah; and he 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
His return was to Ramah, for there was his house; and there he judged Israel: and he built there an altar to the LORD.
