1 Samuel 28
1 Hate tueng dawk Filistinnaw ni a ransanaw hah Isarelnaw tuk hanelah a pâkhueng. Akhish ni Devit koevah nama hoi na taminaw hah ransanaw koe cei van han tie hah kamcengcalah panuek atipouh.
And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their hosts together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David: 'Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me in the host, thou and thy men.'
2 Devit ni Akhish koevah a san ni bangmaw a sak thai tie hah panuek atipouh. Akhish ni Devit koevah, hatdawkvah ka tengo lah na ta han atipouh.
And David said to Achish: 'Therefore thou shalt know what thy servant will do.' And Achish said to David: 'Therefore will I make thee keeper of my head for ever.'
3 Samuel teh a due toung dawkvah, Isarelnaw pueng ni a khuika awh teh, amae kho Ramah vah a pakawp awh toe. Sawl ni khueyue hoi tonghmanaw pueng hai a ram thung hoi koung a pâlei toe.
Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that divined by a ghost or a familiar spirit out of the land.
4 Filistinnaw teh a kamkhueng awh teh Shunem kho vah a tungpup awh. Sawl ni Isarelnaw a pâkhueng teh Gilboa khovah a tungpup awh.
And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa.
5 Sawl ni Filistin ransanaw a hmu toteh a taki dawkvah, puenghoi a lung thung a pâyaw.
And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.
6 Sawl ni BAWIPA a pacei navah, BAWIPA ni a mang hoi hai, Urim hoi hai, profet hoi hai pato hoeh toe.
And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.
7 Sawl ni a sannaw koe khueyue koe pouknae kahei thai nahanlah na tawng pouh awh atipouh. A sannaw ni khenhaw! Endor kho vah khueyue napui buet touh ao kaima atipouh awh.
Then said Saul unto his servants: 'Seek me a woman that divineth by a ghost, that I may go to her, and inquire of her.' And his servants said to him: 'Behold, there is a woman that divineth by a ghost at En-dor.'
8 Sawl teh a mei loukcalah a kamthoup teh, khohna alouke a kho teh alouke tami kahni touh hoi tangminlah hote napui koe a cei teh, na kamyawngkhai e kahrai kângue lahoi kai ni ka dei hane tami hah na kaw pouh haw atipouh.
And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night; and he said: 'Divine unto me, I pray thee, by a ghost, and bring me up whomsoever I shall name unto thee.'
9 Napui ni khenhaw. Sawl ni a sak e na panue. A ram thung e khueyue hoi tonghma pueng hah koung a raphoe toe. Bangkongmaw ka due nahanelah kahringnae karap na patung atipouh.
And the woman said unto him: 'Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that divine by a ghost or a familiar spirit out of the land; wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?'
10 Sawl ni BAWIPA min thoebo laihoi, BAWIPA a hring e patetlah hete hno kecu dawk maw nang dawk reknae phat mahoeh telah ahni koe lawk a kam.
And Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying: 'As the LORD liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.'
11 Napui ni apimaw na kaw pouh han telah a pacei. Ahni ni Samuel na kaw pouh haw atipouh.
Then said the woman: 'Whom shall I bring up unto thee?' And he said: 'Bring me up Samuel.'
12 Napui ni Samuel a hmu navah kacaipounglah a hram. Napui ni Sawl koe bangkongmaw na dum. Nang teh Sawl nahoehmaw atipouh.
And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying: 'Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.'
13 Siangpahrang ni napui koevah, taket hanh, bangmaw na hmu atipouh. Napui ni talai thung hoi muitha buet touh a tâco e ka hmu atipouh.
And the king said unto her: 'Be not afraid; for what seest thou?' And the woman said unto Saul: 'I see a godlike being coming up out of the earth.'
14 Ahni ni napui koevah Bangpatete a meilam lah maw ao atipouh. Napui ni tongpa matawng poung e a tâco teh angkidung a kho atipouh. Sawl ni Samuel doeh tie a panue teh talai dawk a tabo.
And he said unto her: 'What form is he of?' And she said: 'An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a robe.' And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and prostrated himself.
15 Hahoi Samuel ni Sawl koevah, bang kecu dawk maw kai hah runae na poe atipouh. Sawl ni ka kângai hroung a ru dawk doeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Filistinnaw ni na tuk teh Cathut ni na ceitakhai toe. Profet lahoi hai mang lahoi hai na pato hoeh toe. Hatdawkvah, ka tawk hane na ka dei pouh hanelah, na kaw e doeh atipouh.
And Samuel said to Saul: 'Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up?' And Saul answered: 'I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams; therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do.'
16 Samuel ni BAWIPA ni hnamthun takhai teh na taran lah a coung toe tie hah na panue nalaihoi bangkongmaw lawk na pacei.
And Samuel said: 'Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine adversary?
17 Kai hno lahoi lawk ouk a dei e patetlah BAWIPA ni nang dawkvah a sak toe. Uknaeram teh BAWIPA ni na kut dawk e na lawp teh na imri Devit koe roeroe a poe toe.
And the LORD hath wrought for Himself; as He spoke by me; and the LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thy hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David.
18 BAWIPA e lawk na ngâi hoeh dawkvah, Amaleknaw dawk puenghoi a lungkhuek e patetlah na sak hoeh kecu dawk atu nang dawk hete hno heh a pha toe.
Because thou didst not hearken to the voice of the LORD, and didst not execute His fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing unto thee this day.
19 Hathloilah, BAWIPA ni nang hoi Isarelnaw hai Filistinnaw e kut dawk na poe awh han. Hahoi tangtho vah nama hoi na capa teh kai koe na o roi han. BAWIPA ni Isarel ransanaw hai Filistinnaw e kut dawk a poe awh han atipouh.
Moreover the LORD will deliver Israel also with thee into the hand of the Philistines; and to-morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me; the LORD will deliver the host of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines.'
20 Hottelah Samuel ni a dei e lawk hah Sawl ni a takipoung teh, talai dawk a rawp, a thayung khoeroe awm hoeh, karum khodai banghai catnet hoeh.
Then Saul fell straightway his full length upon the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel; and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.
21 Napui teh Sawl koe a cei teh, kângai hroung ka ru poung lah ao e hah a panue dawkvah, khenhaw! na san ni na dei e hah ka yuem teh due hai due tihoi kai koe na dei e hah ka tarawi toe.
And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore affrighted, and said unto him: 'Behold, thy handmaid hath hearkened unto thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spokest unto me.
22 Hatdawkvah, nang ni hai na sannu ni a dei e hah tarawi van haw, bu youn touh na poe han, na ban navah na thayung bet ao nahanelah na ca han atipouh.
Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the voice of thy handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy way.'
23 Hateiteh, ka cat mahoeh ati. A sannaw ni napui hoi ngangngang a pasawt awh teh ahnimae lawk hah a tarawi pouh dawkvah a thaw teh ikhun dawk a tahung.
But he refused, and said: 'I will not eat.' But his servants, together with the woman, urged him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed.
24 Hahoi napui ni maitotan ka thaw poung e a tawn e hah karanglah a thei pouh teh, tavai hoi kanawk e tawn phuen hoeh e vaiyei a sak.
And the woman had a fatted calf in the house; and she made haste, and killed it; and she took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof;
25 Hottelah Sawl hoi a sannaw e a hmalah a pâtoum pouh teh a ca awh. Hahoi a thaw awh teh tangminlah a cei awh.
and she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night.
