1 Samuel 3
1 And the child Samuel served Jehovah before Eli. And the word of Jehovah was precious in those days; there was no frequent vision.
Hitichun, Chapangpa Samuel chun Eli thempu noiya lhacha na atong jing in ahi. Hiche nikho phatlai chun Pakaiya kona thu hung kiphong chu ahahlheh jeng tai, chule themgao mu nei’ah a jongaum vah vah tapon ahi.
2 And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place (now his eyes had begun to grow dim so that he could not see),
Eli thempu in kho amuthei beh talou ahin, jankhat hi alupna ah aimutan ahi chule Samuel jong chu aimutan ahi.
3 and the lamp of God was not yet gone out, and Samuel was laid down in the temple of Jehovah where the ark of God was,
Pathen thaomei kide jong chu kisumit loulai ahin, Samuel vang chu ponbuh sunga aimutan ahi. Alupna chu Pathen thingkong komtah ahi.
4 that Jehovah called Samuel. And he said, Here I am.
Photlot louvin Pakaiyin, “Samuel” tin ahin koutan ahile, “Hoiyo, Ipi thu hitam?” tin ana donbut in ahi.
5 And he ran to Eli, and said, Here I am, for thou called me. And he said, I did not call. Lie down again. And he went and lay down.
Ama athoudoh in Eli komlang ah alhaiyin, “Hiche ah kaume neikouvem?” aga tin ahile, Eli thempu jong, “Kakoupoi, nalupna ah chekit tan,” tin adonbut’in ahile amajong achekit tai.
6 And Jehovah called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here I am, for thou called me. And he answered, I did not call, my son. Lie down again.
Hichun Pakaiyin Samuel chu, “Samuel” tin ahin koukittai. Samuel jong athoudoh kit in Eli koma achekit in, “Hiche ah kaume neikouvem?” agatin ahi. Eli in jong hitin asei kit in, “Chapa kakoupoi, nalupna che kittan,” ati.
7 Now Samuel did not yet know Jehovah, neither was the word of Jehovah yet revealed to him.
Samuel in Pakai ahi ding chu ahetlou ahi ajeh chu hitobang Pakai kouna chu anajah khah loulai ahi.
8 And Jehovah called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here I am, for thou called me. And Eli perceived that Jehovah had called the child.
Chuin Pakaiyin thumvei channan ahinkou kit in, Samuel athou doh in Eli thempu chu aga dong kit in, “Hiche ah kaume neikou vem?” ati. Chuin Eli in Pakai kouna ahiding kichen tah in ahetai.
9 Therefore Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down, and it shall be, if he calls thee, that thou shall say, Speak, Jehovah, for thy servant hears. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
Chuin Samuel jah ah hitin aseipeh in, “Galum kit inlang, ijem tia nahung kikou kit’a ahileh, ‘Pakai seijin nalhachapa keiman kangaiye’” tin aseipeh tai, hichun Samuel jong ajalkhun lam ah akile kittai.
10 And Jehovah came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel said, Speak, for thy servant hears.
Chule Samuel henga Pakai ahung in, “Samuel! Samuel!” tin akouvin ahile, Samuel in, “Seijin nalhacha pa keiman kangaiye,” tin adonbut tan ahi.
11 And Jehovah said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel at which both the ears of everyone who hears it shall tingle.
Chuin Pakaiyin Samuel koma, “Ven keiman Israel sunga thil khat kabol ding, ahin hichun aja jouse nakhang asut ding ahi.
12 In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end.
Hiche nikho chule Eli insung douna a kasei jouse chu abulla kipat’a achaina geiya kaguilhun sah soh kei ding ahi.
13 For I have told him that I will judge his house forever, for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons brought a curse upon themselves, and he did not restrain them.
Keiman thutan nahi amale ainsung mite chunga thu katan ding ahi, tithu thu kapeh ahitai, hichu aimatih chana ding ahi, ajeh chu acha tenin Pathen ataitom lhon in, chule aman jong gihsalna aneipon ahi.
14 And therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be expiated with sacrifice nor offering forever.
Hijeh chun keiman Eli le achateni chonsetna chu kangaidam lou ding, kilhai nale pumgo thilto ho a kisucham joulou ding ahitai,” ati.
15 And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Jehovah. And Samuel was afraid to show Eli the vision.
Samuel alupna ah jingkah changeiyin aumdentai, Chuin ponbuh sunga konin ahung thoudoh in kot ahin hongdoh in, athujah ho seidoh ding akicha behseh in ahi. Pakai thusei chengho seidoh ding chu hahsa asa lheh in ahi.
16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he said, Here I am.
Ahinlah Eli in akouvin, “Kacha Samuel,” tia agah kouleh, “Kei hicheah kaumnai,” tin Samuel in adonbut in ahi.
17 And he said, What is the thing that Jehovah has spoken to thee? I pray thee, hide it not from me. God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide anything from me of all the things that he spoke to thee.
“Pakaiyin nakoma ipi asei em? Abonchan imchah umlouvin neiseipeh in, ijem tia naim a naseidoh louva ahile Pathen mi jepna lePathen a kona thina nachunga chu mai tahen,” ati.
18 And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is Jehovah. Let him do what seems him good.
Chuin Samuel in Eli koma abonchan aseipeh sohkei tai, imacha aseidoh lou aumtapoi. Hichun Eli thempun jong, “Hiche hi Pathen phatsah ahi,” tin aphongdoh in ahi.
19 And Samuel grew, and Jehovah was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground.
Samuel ahung khandoh toh lhon in Pakai in aumpin ahi. Chule thil ijakai Samuel in asei jouse aguilhung sohkei in ahi.
20 And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of Jehovah.
Chule Israel mipite jouse, Dan a kipat chunglam Beersheba chengeijin ahen, Samuel Pathen themgao ahitai ti suhdet ahitai.
21 And Jehovah appeared again in Shiloh, for Jehovah revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of Jehovah.
Pakai Pathen jong Shiloh mun ah akilah jing jeng in, Ponbuh sungah Samuel themgao komah thu alhut in, chule Samuel in Israel mipi te lah a ale lhut kit jin ahi.
