1 Samuel 11
1 Ammon tami Nahash a luen teh, Gilead ram, Jabesh kho teng a tungpup awh. Jabesh khocanaw ni Nahash koe kaimouh koe lawkkam nateh, nange na thaw ka tawk han telah a dei awh.
Then Nahash the Ammonite came up and encamped against Jabesh Gilead; and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, “Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you.”
2 Ammon phun Nahash ni nangmouh pueng e aranglae mit hah cawngkhawi vaiteh, Isarelnaw pueng hane min mathoenae hoi kaya sak torei doeh ahnimouh hoi lawkkam han telah bout atipouh.
Nahash the Ammonite said to them, “On this condition I will make it with you, that all your right eyes be gouged out. I will make this dishonor all Israel.”
3 Jabesh kho e kacuenaw ni ahni koe Isarel ram pueng dawk patounenaw patoun thai nahan, hnin 7 touh atueng na poe ei. Kaimouh ka rungngang hane buet touh boehai awm hoehpawiteh, hattorei doeh nang koe vah ka tâco awh han telah atipouh awh.
The elders of Jabesh said to him, “Give us seven days, that we may send messengers to all the borders of Israel; and then, if there is no one to save us, we will come out to you.”
4 Patounenaw teh Sawl a onae Gibeah kho a pha awh teh, taminaw a thai nahan hote akong a dei awh teh, taminaw teh a khuika awh.
Then the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul, and spoke these words in the ears of the people, then all the people lifted up their voice and wept.
5 Hatnae tueng nah Sawl teh maito a khoumnae koehoi a tho. Taminaw a khuika awh e bangkongmaw telah a pacei navah, ahnimouh ni Jabeshnaw ni a dei e lawk hah a dei pouh awh.
Behold, Saul came following the oxen out of the field; and Saul said, “What ails the people that they weep?” They told him the words of the men of Jabesh.
6 Hote lawk Sawl ni a thai toteh Sawl e lathueng Cathut e Muitha a pha teh a lung puenghoi a khuek.
God’s Spirit came mightily on Saul when he heard those words, and his anger burned hot.
7 Hahoi maito kahni touh a thei teh a moi koung a raban teh Isarel ram pueng dawk patounenaw a rei sak teh, taran tuknae koe Sawl hoi Samuel hnukkâbang hoeh e tami pueng e maito hah, hettelah sak han telah pathang pouh. BAWIPA takinae taminaw koe a pha teh cungtalah koung a tâco awh.
He took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, then sent them throughout all the borders of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, “Whoever doesn’t come out after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen.” The dread of Yahweh fell on the people, and they came out as one man.
8 Bezek kho dawk tami a pâkhueng teh, Isarelnaw 300000, Judahnaw 30000 touh a pha.
He counted them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
9 Hahoi ka tho awh e patounenaw koe, Jebesh Gilead taminaw koe, hettelah na dei pouh han. Tangtho khumbei a thoe lahun nah kabawpnae na hmu awh han, na ti pouh han atipouh. Patounenaw ni a cei awh teh, Jebesh khocanaw hah a dei pouh navah, a lung ahawipoung awh.
They said to the messengers who came, “Tell the men of Jabesh Gilead, ‘Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you will be rescued.’” The messengers came and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
10 Hatdawkvah, Jebesh taminaw ni, tangtho nangmouh koe ka tâco awh vaiteh, nangmouh ni ahawi na tie patetlah kaimae lathueng sak lawih telah atipouh awh.
Therefore the men of Jabesh said, “Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you shall do with us all that seems good to you.”
11 Atangtho vah Sawl ni taminaw hah ahu kathum touh lah a kapek. Tarannaw tumpupnae koe amom vah a pha awh teh, Ammonnaw teh kanîthun khumbeithoe lahun totouh a thei awh. Kahlout e tami buet touh hoi buet touh boehai cungtalah o thai hoeh totouh a kâkayei awh.
On the next day, Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the middle of the camp in the morning watch, and struck the Ammonites until the heat of the day. Those who remained were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
12 Hatnavah taminaw ni Samuel koe, Sawl ni na uk awh han namaw, ka tet e api nama. Thei thai nahan hi thokhai awh haw telah atipouh.
The people said to Samuel, “Who is he who said, ‘Shall Saul reign over us?’ Bring those men, that we may put them to death!”
13 Hatei Sawl ni sahnin dawk teh tami buet touh hai thet hanh sei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, sahnin BAWIPA ni Isarel taminaw koe rungngangnae akuepsak telah a ti.
Saul said, “No man shall be put to death today; for today Yahweh has rescued Israel.”
14 Hathnukkhu Samuel ni taminaw koe tho awh. Gilgal kho lah cet awh sei. Hote hmuen koe uknaeram hah bout kangdout sak awh sei telah atipouh.
Then Samuel said to the people, “Come! Let’s go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.”
15 Taminaw pueng teh Gilgal kho lah a cei awh teh, haw vah BAWIPA e hmalah Sawl hah siangpahrang lah a tawm awh. Hote hmuen koe roum thuengnae BAWIPA koe a sak awh. Sawl hoi Isarelnaw teh puenghoi a lunghawi awh.
All the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before Yahweh in Gilgal. There they offered sacrifices of peace offerings before Yahweh; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
