1 Samuel 15
1 Samuel ni Sawl koe BAWIPA ni nang teh na taminaw lathueng Isarelnaw lathueng siangpahrang hanelah satui awi hane na patoun, hatdawkvah atu BAWIPA e lawk ngâi haw.
And Samuel said to Saul, The Lord sent me to anoint thee king over Israel: and now hear the voice of the Lord.
2 Kalvan ransabawi ni hettelah a dei. Izip ram hoi na tâco awh navah lamlak vah Amaleknaw ni Isarelnaw a ngang awh dawkvah, kai ni ahnimanaw hai ka pathung han.
Thus said the Lord of hosts, Now will I take vengeance for what Amalec did to Israel, when he met him in the way as he came up out of Egypt.
3 Atuvah cet nateh Amaleknaw hah tuk haw. Ahnimouh ni a tawn awh e pueng he raphoe. Buet touh hai hlung hanh. Napui, tongpa, camo, sanu ka net lahun e, maito, tu, kalauk hoi la pueng koung na thei han atipouh.
And now go, and thou shalt smite Amalec and Hierim and all that belongs to him, and thou shalt not save anything of him alive, but thou shalt utterly destroy him: and thou shalt devote him and all his to [destruction], and thou shalt spare nothing belonging to him; and thou shalt slay both man and woman, and infant and suckling, and calf and sheep, and camel and ass.
4 Sawl ni taminaw a pâkhueng teh, Telaim vah a touk. Ransanaw 200, 000 touh hoi Judah tami 10, 000 touh a pha.
And Saul summoned the people, and he numbered them in Galgala, four hundred thousand regular troops, and Juda thirty thousand regular troops.
5 Sawl teh Amalek khopui vah a pha teh, tanghling dawk hoi a pawp.
And Saul came to the cities of Amalec, and laid wait in the valley.
6 Sawl ni Ken taminaw koe, tâcawt awh haw. Amalek taminaw koehoi aloukcalah awm awh. Hottelah hoehpawiteh hmai na thet awh payon vaih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarelnaw Izip ram hoi ka tâcawt e pueng na pahren awh, telah ati. Ken taminaw teh Amaleknaw koehoi a tâco awh.
And Saul said to the Kinite, Go, and depart out of the midst of the Amalekites, lest I put thee with them; for thou dealedst mercifully with the children of Israel when they went up out of Egypt. So the Kinite departed from the midst of Amalec.
7 Sawl ni Amaleknaw teh Havilah hoi Izip kanîtholah kaawm e Shur kho totouh a thei awh.
And Saul smote Amalec from Evilat to Sur fronting Egypt.
8 Amalek siangpahrang Agag hai a hring lah a hlung awh teh, a man e pueng tahloi hoi be a thei.
And he took Agag the king of Amalec alive, and he slew all the people and Hierim with the edge of the sword.
9 Hatei Sawl hoi taminaw ni Agag teh a hlung awh teh, tu kahawi e maito kahawi e kathâw e tuca kathâwnaw hoi kahawi e pueng thei han ngai awh hoeh. Ka cungkeihoeh e, hnephnap e naw teh he a thei awh.
And Saul and all the people saved Agag alive, and the best of the flocks, and of the herds, and of the fruits, of the vineyards, and of all the good things; and they would not destroy them: but every worthless and refuse thing they destroyed.
10 BAWIPA e lawk Samuel koe a pha teh,
And the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying,
11 Sawl siangpahrang lah ka tawn e pan ka kângai. Ahni teh kaie ka hnuk a kâbangnae koehoi bout a kamlang toe. Kaie kâpoelawknaw hah tawk hoeh toe telah ati teh Samuel ni a lungkhuek teh BAWIPA koe a lungmathoe laihoi karum khodai a hram.
I have repented that I have made Saul to be king: for he has turned back from following me, and has not kept my word. And Samuel was grieved, and cried to the Lord all night.
12 Samuel ni Sawl kâhmo hanelah amom a thaw navah, Sawl teh Karmel kho lah a cei, haw vah pahnim hoeh nahan talung a ung hnukkhu bout a ban. Pou a cei teh Gilgal kho lah pou a ceicathuk telah Samuel koe a dei pouh awh.
And Samuel rose early and went to meet Israel in the morning, and it was told Saul, saying, Samuel has come to Carmel, and he has raised up help for himself: and he turned his chariot, and came down to Galgala to Saul; and, behold, he was offering up a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord, the chief of the spoils which he brought out of Amalec.
13 Samuel Sawl koe a cei teh Sawl ni BAWIPA ni yawhawi na poe e lah na o. BAWIPA e kâpoelawk pueng be ka tarawi telah a ti.
And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said to him, Blessed [art] thou of the Lord: I have performed all that the Lord said.
14 Samuel ni hah pawiteh kaie ka hnâ dawk hram pawlawk ka thai e maito parawng lawk hah teh bangtelah atipouh.
And Samuel said, What then [is] the bleating of this flock in my ears, and the sound of the oxen which I hear?
15 Sawl ni Amaleknaw koe e hetnaw ka la toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh BAWIPA na Cathut koehoi thuengnae sak nahanelah taminaw ni tu kahawi maito kahawi kahawi a pâhlung awh e doeh, alouknaw teh koung ka thei awh telah a ti.
And Saul said, I have brought them out of Amalec, that which the people preserved, even the best of the sheep, and of the cattle, that it might be sacrificed to the Lord thy God, and the rest have I utterly destroyed.
16 Samuel ni Sawl koevah awm ei, paduem tangmin BAWIPA ni kai koe a dei e na dei pouh han atipouh, Sawl ni dei haw atipouh.
And Samuel said to Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the Lord has said to me this night: and he said to him, Say on.
17 Samuel ni nange na hmunae lah tami ka thoungca nakunghai, Isarel miphunnaw e lû lah na awm hoeh namaw. Isarel siangpahrang lah BAWIPA ni satui na awi e nahoehmaw.
And Samuel said to Saul, Art thou not little in his eyes, [though] a leader of one of the tribes of Israel? and [yet] the Lord anointed thee to be king over Israel.
18 BAWIPA ni na patoun teh, cet nateh tamikayon Amaleknaw hah be thet lawih, he kahma hoehroukrak thet lawih telah ati nahoehmaw.
And the Lord sent thee on a journey, and said to thee, Go, and utterly destroy: thou shalt slay the sinners against me, [even] the Amalekites; and thou shalt war against them until thou have consumed them.
19 Bangkongmaw BAWIPA e lawk na ngâi laipalah hnopai na lawp teh BAWIPA mithmu hno kahawihoeh na sak telah atipouh.
And why didst not thou hearken to the voice of the Lord, but didst haste to fasten upon the spoils, and didst that which was evil in the sight of the Lord?
20 Sawl ni Samuel koevah BAWIPA e lawk atangcalah ka tarawi toe. BAWIPA ni na patoun e thaw ka tawk teh Amalek siangpahrang Agag ka thokhai teh, Amalek taminaw he ka pâmit.
And Saul said to Samuel, Because I listened to the voice of the people: yet I went the way by which the Lord sent me, and I brought Agag the king of Amalec, and I destroyed Amalec.
21 Taminaw ni BAWIPA na Cathut Koe gilgal kho dawk thueng nahane lawp e hno thung dawk hoi maito, tunaw kahawipoung e ka la toe telah a dei.
But the people took of the spoils the best flocks and herds [out] of that which was destroyed, to sacrifice before the Lord our God in Galgal.
22 Samuel ni BAWIPA lawkngainae dawk a lunghawi e patetlah hmaisawi thuengnae dawk a lunghawi han na ou, thai haw lawkngainae teh thuengnae hlak ahawihnawn. Tarawinae teh tu kathâw hlak hoe ahawihnawn.
And Samuel said, Does the Lord take pleasure in whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifices, as in hearing the words of the Lord? behold, obedience [is] better than a good sacrifice, and hearkening than the fat of rams.
23 Lawkeknae teh taân sin e patetlah thoseh, lungpatanae teh meikaphawk bawknae patetlah thoseh yonnae kalenpounge doeh. BAWIPA e lawk na pahnawt dawkvah, BAWIPA ni hai siangpahrang lah na onae koehoi na pahnawt toe telah atipouh.
For sin is [as] divination; idols bring on pain and grief. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, the Lord also shall reject thee from being king over Israel.
24 Sawl ni Samuel koevah yonnae ka sak katang toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA kâpoelawk hai ka ek toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tamimaya ka taki dawkvah a lawk ka ngâi pouh toe.
And Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned, in that I have transgressed the word of the Lord and thy direction; for I feared the people, and I hearkened to their voice.
25 Hatdawkvah na pahren nateh ka yonnae ngaithoum haw, BAWIPA ka bawk thai nahanlah bout na bankhai loe atipouh.
And now remove, I pray thee, my sin, and turn back with me, and I will worship the Lord thy God.
26 Hatei Samuel ni Sawl koevah, na bankhai mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e lawk na pahnawt toe. BAWIPA ni hai Isarel siangpahrang dawk hoi na pahnawt toe atipouh.
And Samuel said to Saul, I will not turn back with thee, for thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord will reject thee from being king over Israel.
27 Samuel a cei hane a kamlang navah, Sawl ni a hni a kuet pouh teh a pawi a kâphi.
And Samuel turned his face to depart, and Saul caught hold of the skirt of his garment, and tore it.
28 Samuel ni sahnin vah nang koehoi BAWIPA ni Isarel uknaeram a ravei toe. Nang hlak kahawi e na imri hah a poe toe.
And Samuel said to him, The Lord has rent thy kingdom from Israel out of thy hand this day, and will give it to thy neighbour who is better than thou.
29 Isarel miphun e pou kacakpounge BAWIPA teh a laithout hoeh. A lung hai kâthung hoeh a lungkâthung e tami patet nahoeh telah a ti.
And Israel shall be divided to two: and [God] will not turn nor repent, for he is not as a man to repent.
30 Sawl ni ka yon toe. Hateiteh pahren lahoi ka tami kacuenaw e hmalah hoi Isarel hmalah atu barinae na poe haw, BAWIPA na Cathut ka bawk thai nahan na bankhai haw, hottelah a kâhei.
And Saul said, I have sinned; yet honour me, I pray thee, before the elders of Israel, and before my people; and turn back with me, and I will worship the Lord thy God.
31 Samuel ni Sawl a bankhai teh Sawl ni BAWIPA a bawk.
So Samuel turned back after Saul, and he worshipped the Lord.
32 Samuel ni Amalek siangpahrang Agag teh kai koe thokhai awh haw telah ati. Hatnavah Agag teh kâhruetcuet lahoi a cei. Agag ni duenae kakhat e teh ka tapoung toe a ti.
And Samuel said, Bring me Agag the king of Amalec: and Agag came to him trembling; and Agag said Is death thus bitter?
33 Hatei Samuel ni na tahloi ni napuinaw ca sak apout sak e patetlah na manu hai napui thung dawk ca ka tawn hoeh e lah ao van han telah ati. Samuel ni Agag hah Gilgal vah BAWIPA hmalah tawntarawn lah a tâtueng.
And Samuel said to Agag, As thy sword has bereaved women of their children, so shall thy mother be made childless among women: and Samuel slew Agag before the Lord in Galgal.
34 Samuel teh Ramah kho vah a cei teh Sawl teh, Gibeah kho ama im vah a cei takhang.
And Samuel departed to Armathaim, and Saul went up to his house at Gabaa.
35 Sawl a due totouh Samuel ni bout hloe hoeh toe. Hatei Samuel ni Sawl kong dawk a lungmathoe. BAWIPA teh Isarel siangpahrang lah Sawl a rawi e pan a kângai.
And Samuel did not see Saul again till the day of his death, for Samuel mourned after Saul, and the Lord repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
