1 Samuel 10
1 Samuel ni satuium a la teh Sawl e a lû dawk a awi hnukkhu, a paco teh, BAWIPA ni nang koe amae râw miphun lathueng siangpahrang hanelah satui na awi toe nahoehmaw.
Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it on his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD has anointed you to be captain over his inheritance?
2 Sahnin kai koehoi na cei toteh, Benjamin ram khori Zelzah kho Rachel tangkom koevah tami kahni touh na hmu han. Ahnimouh roi ni na tawng awh e la a hmu awh toe. Na pa ni la kong hah pouk mahoeh toe. Ka capa hanelah bangmaw ka sak han vai ati telah nang koe na dei pouh awh han.
When you are departed from me to day, then you shall find two men by Rachel’s sepulcher in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, The asses which you went to seek are found: and, see, your father has left the care of the asses, and sorrows for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
3 Hote hmuen koehoi pou na cei vaiteh Tabor hmuen koe kaawm e kathen kung koe na pha han. Hmae kathum touh ka sin e tami buet touh, alouke tami ni vaiyei kathum touh a sin vaiteh, tami buet touh ni misur um a sin han.
Then shall you go on forward from there, and you shall come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet you three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine:
4 Ahnimouh ni nangmouh koe ka dam lah ati awh vaiteh kut na man awh han. Vaiyei kahni touh na poe awh han. Nangmouh ni ahnimouh koe e vaiyei na dâw awh han.
And they will salute you, and give you two loaves of bread; which you shall receive of their hands.
5 Hathnukkhu hoi, Filistinnaw onae koe Cathut mon dawk na pha awh han. Kho koe na pha awh navah, hmuen rasang koehoi ka kum e profetnaw na hmu awh han. Ahnimae a hmalah ratoung, tapueng, vovit, tâbaw khawng awh vaiteh profet lawk a dei awh han.
After that you shall come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when you are come thither to the city, that you shall meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy:
6 BAWIPA e Muitha ni na lathueng a pha vaiteh ahnimouh koe profet lawk na dei vaiteh tami aloukcalah na o han.
And the Spirit of the LORD will come on you, and you shall prophesy with them, and shall be turned into another man.
7 Nang dawk mitnoutnaw ao toteh kamcu lah sak loe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut nang koe ao.
And let it be, when these signs are come to you, that you do as occasion serve you; for God is with you.
8 Gilgal vah ka hmalah la cet leih. Kai hai hmaisawi thuengnae hoi roum thuengnae sak hanelah nang koe ka tho han. Nang koe ka tho hoehroukrak hnin 7 touh na ring han. Na sak hane kawi na dei pouh awh han.
And you shall go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down to you, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: seven days shall you tarry, till I come to you, and show you what you shall do.
9 Sawl teh Samuel koehoi a kamlang teh a cei han ati navah, Cathut ni alouke lungthin a poe teh, hote mitnoutnae pueng teh hote hnin dawk be a kuep.
And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day.
10 Mon koe a pha toteh, profetnaw ni a kâhmo navah BAWIPA e Muitha ni Sawl e lathueng a pha teh ahnimouh koe profet lawk a pâpho van.
And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came on him, and he prophesied among them.
11 Sawl teh profetnaw hoi cungtalah profet lawk a pâpho e hah hoehnahlan, ahni la kapanueknaw ni a hmu awh navah, Kish capa dawk hno kaawm e bangtelane. Sawl hai profetnaw koe ka bawk van e na ou telah a kâ pacei awh.
And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?
12 Hawvah kaawm e tami buet touh ni, ahnimae a na pa hah apimaw telah a pacei nah, Sawl hai profet lah ao na maw tie lawk teh panuilai lah a hno awh.
And one of the same place answered and said, But who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?
13 Sawl teh profet lawk a pâpho hnukkhu hmuen karasang koe a cei.
And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
14 Sawl e panga ni nâ lah maw na cei awh telah ama hoi a sannaw a pacei navah, la naw ka tawng awh ka hmu awh hoeh dawk Samuel koe ka cei awh telah atipouh awh.
And Saul’s uncle said to him and to his servant, Where went you? And he said, To seek the asses: and when we saw that they were no where, we came to Samuel.
15 Sawl e panga ni, Samuel ni nang koe bangmaw a dei, na dei pouh haw telah a pacei.
And Saul’s uncle said, Tell me, I pray you, what Samuel said to you.
16 Sawl ni lanaw ka hmu awh toe tie na dei pouh telah a panga koe bout a dei pouh. Hatei uknae kong Samuel ni a dei e hah dei hoeh.
And Saul said to his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spoke, he told him not.
17 Samuel ni Mizpah kho dawk taminaw BAWIPA koe a kamkhueng sak.
And Samuel called the people together to the LORD to Mizpeh;
18 Isarelnaw koe Isarel BAWIPA Cathut ni hettelah a dei. Izip taminaw e kut thung hoi a khok hoi a coungroe e ram pueng dawk hoi ka rungngang.
And said to the children of Israel, Thus says the LORD God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you:
19 Hatei sahnin vah na reithainae, rucatnae pueng thung hoi nangmouh ka rungngang e Cathut roeroe hah na ngai awh hoeh. Ahni koe siangpahrang mah kaimouh han na rawi pouh awh telah na dei awh. Hatdawkvah, na miphun, na imthungkhu lahoi BAWIPA hmalah hnai awh atipouh.
And you have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and you have said to him, No, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.
20 Samuel ni Isarel miphunnaw hah ama koe a tho sak teh Benjamin miphun hah a rawi.
And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
21 Benjamin miphunnaw a imthung lahoi a tho sak teh Matri imthungnaw a rawi. Kish capa Sawl hah a rawi. Ahnimouh ni a tawng awh eiteh hmawt awh hoeh.
When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken: and when they sought him, he could not be found.
22 Ahnimouh ni BAWIPA hah bout a pacei awh teh, ka tho hane tami ao rah maw, telah ati. BAWIPA ni khenhaw! hnonaw a rahak a kâhro telah atipouh.
Therefore they inquired of the LORD further, if the man should yet come thither. And the LORD answered, Behold he has hid himself among the stuff.
23 Ayawng sin awh teh a thokhai awh. Tamimaya koe a kangdue nah ahnimanaw hlak a rasang poung apinihai aloung tapuet pouh hoeh.
And they ran and fetched him there: and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
24 Samuel ni taminaw koe, BAWIPA ni a rawi e na hmu awh maw. Taminaw thung dawk ahni patet e buet touh hai awmhoeh telah ati teh tamimaya ni a hram awh teh siangpahrang hring saw naseh ati awh.
And Samuel said to all the people, See you him whom the LORD has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king.
25 Samuel ni taminaw koe a sakyoe e a dei pouh. Cauk dawk a thut pouh teh, BAWIPA e hmalah a hruek awh. Hahoi Samuel ni taminaw ama im lah be a cei sak.
Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
26 Sawl hai Gibeah kho ama im vah a ban van. Cathut ni a lung ka youk e taran kahawinaw ahni hoi rei a cei awh.
And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched.
27 Hatei taran ka thaw e tami tangawn ni hete tami ni maimanaw bangtelamaw na rungngang thai han telah ati awh teh, a dudam awh teh, poehno hai poe awh hoeh. Hatei Sawl ni duem ao.
But the children of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought no presents. But he held his peace.
