1 Samuel 10
1 Then Samuel took the vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not that Jehovah has anointed thee to be prince over his inheritance?
Te phoeiah, Samuel loh situi tui-um te a loh tih a lu soah a suep pah. Anih te a mok tih, “Amah kah rho soah nang he BOEIPA loh rhaengsang la n'koelh pai moenih a?
2 When thou are departed from me today, then thou shall find two men by Rachel's sepulcher in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah. And they will say to thee, The donkeys which thou went to seek are found, and, lo, thy father has left off caring for the donkeys, and is anxious for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
Tihnin ah kai taeng lamloh na cet vetih Zelzah kah Benjamin khorhi Rakhel phuel ah hlang panit na hmuh ni. Te vaengah tlap hamla na caeh thil laak rhoek a hmuh te nang taengah a thui bitni. Laak kawng te na pa loh a toeng tih nangmih rhoi ham a mawn dongah, “Ka capa ham balae ka saii eh?,’ a ti coeng ke.
3 Then thou shall go on forward from there, and thou shall come to the oak of Tabor. And there shall meet thee there three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine.
Te lamloh voelh na poeng vaengah Tabor thingnu la na pawk vetih Bethel Pathen taengla aka cet hlang pathum te na hum uh ni. Pakhat loh maae ca pumthum a phueih ni, pakhat loh buh hluem pathum a phueih ni, pakhat loh misurtui tuitang pakhat a phueih ni.
4 And they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread, which thou shall receive from their hand.
Te vaengah nang te sading la n'dawt vetih vaidam hluem nit m'paek uh tekhaw amih kut lamloh doe pah.
5 After that thou shall come to the hill of God where is the garrison of the Philistines. And it shall come to pass, when thou have come there to the city, that thou shall meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a timbrel, and a pipe, and a harp, before them, and they will be prophesying.
Te phoeiah Philisti khohung rhoek om nah Pathen som na pha ni. Khopuei te na paan vaengah hmuensang lamkah aka suntla tonghma hlop at te na hum uh ni. Amih hmai ah thangpa, kamrhing, phitphoet, rhotoeng neh aka tonghma rhoek te om ni.
6 And the Spirit of Jehovah will come mightily upon thee, and thou shall prophesy with them, and shall be turned into another man.
Te vaengah BOEIPA Mueihla tah nang soah thaihtak bitni. Amih taengah na tonghma pah vetih hlang te a tloe la na maelh ni.
7 And let it be, when these signs have come to thee, that thou do as occasion shall serve thee, for God is with thee.
Te vaengah miknoek he nang taengah thoeng rhoe thoeng ni. Pathen te nang taengah a om coeng dongah na kut a hmuh te nang ham saii la om ni.
8 And thou shall go down before me to Gilgal. And, behold, I will come down to thee, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings. Thou shall tarry seven days till I come to thee, and show thee what thou shall do.
Kai hmai ah Gilgal la ana suntla laeh. Kai khaw a hnin rhih dongah rhoepnah hmueih ngawn ham neh hmueihhlutnah tloeng ham nang taengla ka suntla van ni. Nang taengla ka pawk duela n'rhing lamtah na saii koi te namah taengah kan tueng bitni,” a ti nah.
9 And it was so, that, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart. And all those signs came to pass that day.
Te dongah Samuel taeng lamloh nong ham a nam a hooi vaengah anih ham te Pathen loh lungbuei a tloe la vik a maelh dongah amah khohnin dongah miknoek khaw boeih thoeng.
10 And when they came there to the hill, behold, a band of prophets met him. And the Spirit of God came mightily upon him, and he prophesied among them.
Som ah tah anih aka doe ham tonghma rhui at te tarha ha pawk uh. Pathen Mueihla loh anih te a thaihtak sak dongah amih lakli ah a tonghma pah.
11 And it came to pass, when all who knew him formerly saw, that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that has come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?
Tonghma rhoek taengah a tonghma van te hlaemvai lamkah anih aka ming boeih loh a hmuh uh. Pilnam khuiah khaw hlang loh a hui taengah, “Kish capa te metlam a om te, tonghma rhoek taengah Saul om noek van a?,” a ti uh.
12 And a man from the same place answered and said, And who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?
Tedae te lamkah hlang loh a doo tih, “bangla a thoeng coeng atah ulae a napa?, Saul khaw tonghma rhoek khuikah a?” a ti nah.
13 And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
A tonghma te a toeng phoeiah hmuensang a paan.
14 And Saul's uncle said to him and to his servant, Where did ye go? And he said, To seek the donkeys, and when we saw that they were not found, we came to Samuel.
Te vaengah Saul kah a napanoe loh Saul neh a taengca te, “Melam na caeh rhoi,” a ti nah hatah, “Laak nucaphung te ka tlap dae ka hmuh pawt dongah Samuel taengla ka pawk rhoi,” a ti nah.
15 And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said to you.
Te dongah Saul kah napanoe loh, “Samuel loh nangmih rhoi taengah a thui te kai taengah thui lah,” a ti nah.
16 And Saul said to his uncle, He told us plainly that the donkeys were found. But concerning the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel spoke, he did not tell him.
Te dongah a napanoe te Saul loh, “Laak nucaphung te a hmuh uh tila kaimih rhoi taengah a thui rhoela a thui coeng,” a ti nah. Tedae Samuel loh Saul taengah a thui mangpa olka te tah thui pah pawh.
17 And Samuel called the people together to Jehovah to Mizpah.
Te phoeiah pilnam te Samuel loh Mizpah kah BOEIPA taengla a khue.
18 And he said to the sons of Israel, Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you,
Te phoeiah Israel ca rhoek te, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh, 'Egypt lamkah Israel aka caeh puei tih nangmih aka nen Egypt kut neh ram tom kut lamkah nangmih aka huul khaw kai ni.
19 but ye have this day rejected your God who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses, and ye have said to him, No, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before Jehovah by your tribes, and by your thousands.
Tedae nangmih kah yoethae cungkuem neh citcai lamloh nangmih aka khang na Pathen te tihnin ah nangmih loh na hnawt uh tih, “Kaimih soah manghai pakhat tah na khueh mako,” na ti uh. Te dongah namamih koca rhoek loh a thawng thawng la BOEIPA mikhmuh ah pai uh laeh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
20 So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
Israel koca rhoek boeih te Samuel loh a paan tih Benjamin koca te a tuuk.
21 And he brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families, and the family of the Matrites was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken. But when they sought him, he could not be found.
Te phoeiah Benjamin koca te a cako, a cako la, a nawn tih Matri cako te a tuuk. Te vaengah a tuuk tangtae Kish capa Saul te a toem uh dae hmu pawh.
22 Therefore they asked of Jehovah further, Is there yet a man to come here? And Jehovah answered, Behold, he has hid himself among the baggage.
Te dongah BOEIPA taengah, “Tekah hlang te hela ha pawk hlan a?” tila koep a dawt uh. Tedae BOEIPA loh, “Hnopai khuiah amah thuh uh lahko te,” a ti nah.
23 And they ran and fetched him from there. And when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
Te dongah yong uh tih Saul te a loh uh. Te vaengah pilnam lakli ah pai hang dae a laengpang lamloh a so hang mah pilnam boeih lakah sang.
24 And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom Jehovah has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, Live, O king!
Te phoeiah Pilnam pum te Samuel loh, “BOEIPA loh anih a coelh he na hmuh uh maco? Pilnam boeih khuiah anih bang a om moenih,” a ti nah. Te vaengah pilnam te boeih yuhui uh tih, “Manghai tah hing pai saeh,” a ti uh.
25 Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before Jehovah. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
Te phoeiah mangpa kah laitloeknah te Samuel loh pilnam ham a thui pah. Cabu dongah khaw a daek tih BOEIPA hmai ah a tloeng. Te daengah pilnam pum te Samuel loh a im la boeih a tueih.
26 And Saul also went to his house to Gibeah, and mighty men went with him, whose hearts God had touched.
Saul khaw Gibeah kah amah im la a caeh hatah Pathen loh a lungbuei a bi pah tangtae tatthai hlang te tah anih taengla cet uh.
27 But certain worthless fellows said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no present. But he held his peace.
Tedae aka muen ca rhoek long tah, “Metlamlae mamih n'khang thai eh?” a ti uh. Anih te a hnaep uh tih anih te khosaa khaw thak uh pawt dae olmueh la a om tak.
