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.
Samuel also said unto Saul, Yhwh sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of Yhwh.
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 saith Yhwh of Armies, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from 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.
Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.
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 gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
5 Sawl teh Amalek khopui vah a pha teh, tanghling dawk hoi a pawp.
And Saul came to a city of Amalek, 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 unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye shewed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
7 Sawl ni Amaleknaw teh Havilah hoi Izip kanîtholah kaawm e Shur kho totouh a thei awh.
And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou comest to Shur, that is over against 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 the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people 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.
But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.
10 BAWIPA e lawk Samuel koe a pha teh,
Then came the word of Yhwh unto 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.
It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto Yhwh 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 when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.
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 unto him, Blessed be thou of Yhwh: I have performed the commandment of Yhwh.
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 meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing 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, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto Yhwh thy God; and the rest we have 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.
Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what Yhwh hath said to me this night. And he said unto 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, When thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, And Yhwh anointed thee 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 Yhwh sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.
19 Bangkongmaw BAWIPA e lawk na ngâi laipalah hnopai na lawp teh BAWIPA mithmu hno kahawihoeh na sak telah atipouh.
Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of Yhwh, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of Yhwh?
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 unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of Yhwh, and have gone the way which Yhwh sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
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 spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto Yhwh thy God in Gilgal.
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, hath Yhwh as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of Yhwh? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken 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 rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of Yhwh, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
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 unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of Yhwh, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
25 Hatdawkvah na pahren nateh ka yonnae ngaithoum haw, BAWIPA ka bawk thai nahanlah bout na bankhai loe atipouh.
Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship Yhwh.
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 unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of Yhwh, And Yhwh hath rejected 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 as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
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 unto him, Yhwh hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that 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 also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should 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.
Then he said, I have sinned: yet honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship Yhwh thy God.
31 Samuel ni Sawl a bankhai teh Sawl ni BAWIPA a bawk.
So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped Yhwh.
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.
Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
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, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before Yhwh in Gilgal.
34 Samuel teh Ramah kho vah a cei teh Sawl teh, Gibeah kho ama im vah a cei takhang.
Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
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 came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: And Yhwh repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
