1 Samuel 4
1 Isarel miphun pueng koevah Samuel ni a dei e lawk a kamthang. Isarelnaw ni Filistinnaw tuk hanelah a cei awh teh, Ebenezer kho teng a roe awh teh, Filistinnaw Aphek kho vah a tungpup awh.
And Samuel spake vnto all Israel: and Israel went out against the Philistims to battel and pitched beside Eben-ezer: and the Philistims pitched in Aphek.
2 Filistin taminaw teh Isarel miphunnaw kâtuknae a pataw poung dawk Isarelnaw a sung awh teh ransa 4,000 tabang hane a due.
And the Philistims put themselues in aray against Israel: and when they ioyned the battell, Israel was smitten downe before the Philistims: who slewe of the armie in the fielde about foure thousand men.
3 Ransanaw teh pupim koe a pha awh toteh Isarel kacuenaw ni, bangkongmaw sahnin vah Filistin hmalah BAWIPA ni na sung sak awh vaw. Shiloh kho hoiyah BAWIPA e lawkkam thingkong hah kai koe thokhai awh. Hattorei doeh tarannaw e kut dawk hoi kai ni na rungngang awh han.
So when the people were come into the campe, the Elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the Lord smitten vs this day before ye Philistims? let vs bring the Arke of the couenant of the Lord out of Shiloh vnto vs, that when it commeth among vs, it may saue vs out of the hande of our enemies.
4 Shiloh khovah tami a patoun awh teh Cherubim van ka tahung e ransahu BAWIPA e lawkkam thingkong a thokhai awh. Eli capa kahni touh: Hophni hoi Phinehas hoi Cathut lawkkam thingkong koe ao roi van.
Then the people sent to Shiloh, and brought from thence the Arke of the couenant of the Lord of hostes, who dwelleth betweene the Cherubims: and there were the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni, and Phinehas, with the Arke of the couenant of God.
5 BAWIPA e lawkkam thingkong teh pupim hmuen koe a pha toteh, Isarel tami pueng teh puenghoi talai ka tuen lah a hram awh.
And when the Arke of the couenant of the Lord came into the hoste, all Israel shouted a mightie shoute, so that the earth rang againe.
6 Filistin miphunnaw ni a hram e lawk a thai awh navah Hebrunaw e roenae pupim koe hramnae pawlawk bangtelane telah a pacei awh. BAWIPA e thingkong pupim koe a tho tie a panue awh navah,
And when the Philistims heard the noyse of the shoute, they said, What meaneth the sound of this mightie shoute in the host of the Ebrewes? and they vnderstoode, that the Arke of the Lord was come into the hoste.
7 Cathut teh pupim rim koe pha toe telah a dei awh teh, Filistin miphunnaw ni a taki awh. Maimouh yawthoe awh toe, het patetlah vai touh hai awm boihoeh.
And the Philistims were afraide, and saide, God is come into the hoste: therefore saide they, Wo vnto vs: for it hath not bene so heretofore.
8 Maimouh yawthoe awh toe. Apinimaw maimouh teh thakaawme cathutnaw kut dawk hoi na rungngang han vai. Izip miphunnaw kahrawng vah runae aphunphun hoi ka thet e teh hete cathutnaw doeh ati awh.
Wo vnto vs, who shall deliuer vs out of the hande of these mightie Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wildernes.
9 Filistinnaw na tha kâlat awh, tongpa katang lah awm awh. Hottelah nahoeh pawiteh nangmouh dawk Hebrunaw san lah ao e patetlah nangmouh hai ahnimouh koe san lah na o awh han. Hatdawkvah, tongpatang lah awm awh nateh tuk awh.
Be strong and play the men, O Philistims, that ye be not seruants vnto the Ebrewes, as they haue serued you: be valiant therefore, and fight.
10 Filistinnaw ni a tuk awh navah Isarel miphunnaw a sung awh teh amamae rim dawk lengkaleng a yawng awh. Kâtheikârawngnae a pataw poung dawk Isarel ransa 30000 touh a due.
And the Philistims fought, and Israel was smitten downe, and fled euery man into his tent: and there was an exceeding great slaughter: for there fell of Israel thirtie thousand footemen.
11 BAWIPA e thingkong a lawp awh teh Eli capa Hophni hoi Phinehas hai a thei awh.
And the Arke of God was taken, and the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas died.
12 Hat hnin navah Benjamin phun buet touh taran hmuen koehoi a yawng teh Shiloh kho a pha. Ahni a ravei teh a lû dawk vaiphu a kâphuen teh,
And there ranne a man of Beniamin out of the armie, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and earth vpon his head.
13 a pha navah Eli ni BAWIPA e thingkong hanelah a lungtâsue teh, lam teng tungkhung dawk hoi a khet. Ahni ni khopui a pha teh akongnaw a dei navah kho abuemlahoi a khuika awh.
And when hee came, loe, Eli sate vpon a seate by the wayside, wayting: for his heart feared for the Arke of God and when the man came into the citie to tell it, all the citie cried out.
14 Eli ni a khuikanae a thai toteh, hramkinae pawlawk bang nama telah a pacei navah, hote tami teh karang poung lah a cei teh Eli koe a dei.
And when Eli heard the noyse of the crying, he sayd, What meaneth this noyse of the tumult? and the man came in hastily, and tolde Eli.
15 Eli teh kum 98 a pha toung dawkvah a mit hmawt thai hoeh toe.
(Nowe Eli was fourescore and eighteene yeere olde, and his eyes were dimme that hee could not see)
16 Hote tami ni Eli koe kâtuknae koehoi ka tho e doeh. Sahnin taranum hoi ka yawng e doeh telah ati navah, Eli ni ka ca, bangtelane telah a pacei.
And the man sayd vnto Eli, I came from the armie, and I fled this day out of the hoste: and he sayd, What thing is done, my sonne?
17 Kamthang ka thokhai e ni Isarelnaw teh Filistin hmalah hoi a yawng awh teh taran tuknae koe kadout e hai moi apap. Nange na ca roi Hophni hoi Phinehas hai a due toe. BAWIPA e thingkong hai na lawp awh toe telah a dei.
Then the messenger answered and sayd, Israel is fled before the Philistims, and there hath bene also a great slaughter among the people: and moreouer thy two sonnes, Hophni and Phinehas are dead, and the Arke of God is taken.
18 BAWIPA e thingkong e akong a dei tahma Eli teh longkha teng tungkhung van hoi pathan lah a rawp teh a lahuen a kâkhoe dawkvah a due. Ahni ni Isarel miphun kum 40 touh a uk.
And when he had made mention of the Arke of God, Eli fell from his seate backward by the side of the gate, and his necke was broken, and he dyed: for he was an olde man and heauie: and he had iudged Israel fourtie yeeres.
19 A langa Phinehas e a yu teh camo a vawn e khe tawmlei toe. BAWIPA e thingkong na lawp awh toe tie a marang hoi a vâ a due tie a thai toteh a tabut teh a ca a khe.
And his daughter in lawe Phinehas wife was with childe neere her trauell: and when she heard the report that the Arke of God was taken, and that her father in lawe and her husband were dead, she bowed her selfe, and trauailed: for her paines came vpon her.
20 A due tawmlei nah ateng kaawm e napuinaw ni na lungpuen hanh. Ca tongpa na khe toe telah a dei pouh awh nakunghai, banghai dei hoeh. Banglahai noutna hoeh.
And about the time of her death, the women that stoode about her, sayd vnto her, Feare not: for thou hast borne a sonne: but she answered not, nor regarded it.
21 Isarel miphun a bawilennae a kahma toe ati teh a ca hah Ikhabod telah a min a phung. Cathut e thingkong oun a la awh toe, a marang hoi a vâ hai a due toe atinae lah a min a phung.
And she named the childe Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel, because the Arke of God was taken, and because of her father in lawe and her husband.
22 Hathnukkhu hoi BAWIPA e thingkong a la awh toung dawkvah, Isarel miphun a bawilennae a kahma toe telah a dei.
She sayde againe, The glory is departed from Israel: for the Arke of God is taken.
