1 Samuel 10
1 Then Samuel took a flask of oil, poured it on Saul’s head, kissed him, and said, “Has not the LORD anointed you ruler over His inheritance?
Te phoeiah, Samuel loh situi tui-um tea loh tih a lu soaha suep pah. Anih te a mok tih, “Amah kah rho soah nang he BOEIPA loh rhaengsang la n'koelh pai moenih a?
2 When you leave me today, you will find two men at Rachel’s tomb in Zelzah on the border of Benjamin. They will say to you, ‘The donkeys you seek have been found, and now your father has stopped worrying about the donkeys and started worrying about you, asking, “What should I do about 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 taengaha thui bitni. Laak kawng te na pa loh a toeng tih nangmih rhoi hama mawn dongah, “Ka capa ham balae ka saii eh?,’ a ti coeng ke.
3 Then you will go on from there until you come to the Oak of Tabor. Three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you there, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a skin 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 pumthuma phueih ni, pakhat loh buh hluem pathuma phueih ni, pakhat loh misurtui tuitang pakhat a phueih ni.
4 They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you will accept from their hands.
Te vaengah nang te sading la n'dawt vetih vaidam hluem nit m'paek uh tekhaw amih kut lamloh doe pah.
5 After that you will come to Gibeah of God, where the Philistines have an outpost. As you approach the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place, preceded by harps, tambourines, flutes, and lyres, 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 Then the Spirit of the LORD will rush upon you, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be transformed into a different person.
Te vaengah BOEIPA Mueihla tah nang soah thaihtak bitni. Amih taengah na tonghma pah vetih hlang te a tloe la na maelh ni.
7 When these signs have come, do as the occasion demands, for God is with you.
Te vaengah miknoek he nang taengah thoeng rhoe thoeng ni. Pathen te nang taengah a om coeng dongah na kuta hmuh te nang ham saii la om ni.
8 And you shall go before me to Gilgal, and surely I will come to you to offer burnt offerings and to sacrifice peace offerings. Wait seven days until I come to you and show you what you are to do.”
Kai hmai ah Gilgal la ana suntla laeh. Kai khawa 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 As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed Saul’s heart, and all the signs came to pass that day.
Te dongah Samuel taeng lamloh nong ham a nama hooi vaengah anih ham te Pathen loh lungbueia tloe la vik a maelh dongah amah khohnin dongah miknoek khaw boeih thoeng.
10 When Saul and his servant arrived at Gibeah, a group of prophets met him. Then the Spirit of God rushed upon him, and he prophesied along with them.
Som ah tah anih aka doe ham tonghma rhui at te tarha ha pawk uh. Pathen Mueihla loh anih tea thaihtak sak dongah amih lakli aha tonghma pah.
11 All those who had formerly known Saul and saw him prophesying with the prophets asked one another, “What has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”
Tonghma rhoek taengaha tonghma van te hlaemvai lamkah anih aka ming boeih loh a hmuh uh. Pilnam khuiah khaw hlang loh a hui taengah, “Kish capa te metlama om te, tonghma rhoek taengah Saul om noek van a?,” a ti uh.
12 Then a man who lived there replied, “And who is their father?” So the saying became a proverb: “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
Tedae te lamkah hlang loh a doo tih, “banglaa thoeng coeng atah ulae a napa?, Saul khaw tonghma rhoek khuikah a?” a ti nah.
13 And when Saul had finished prophesying, he went up to the high place.
A tonghma tea toeng phoeiah hmuensanga paan.
14 Now Saul’s uncle asked him and his servant, “Where did you go?” “To look for the donkeys,” Saul replied. “When we saw they were not to be found, we went 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 “Tell me,” Saul’s uncle asked, “what did Samuel say to you?”
Te dongah Saul kah napanoe loh, “Samuel loh nangmih rhoi taengaha thui te kai taengah thui lah,” a ti nah.
16 And Saul replied, “He assured us that the donkeys had been found.” But Saul did not tell his uncle what Samuel had said about the kingship.
Te dongah a napanoe te Saul loh, “Laak nucaphung te a hmuh uh tila kaimih rhoi taengaha thui rhoela a thui coeng,” a ti nah. Tedae Samuel loh Saul taengaha thui mangpa olka te tah thui pah pawh.
17 After this, Samuel summoned the people to the LORD at Mizpah
Te phoeiah pilnam te Samuel loh Mizpah kah BOEIPA taenglaa khue.
18 and said to the Israelites, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I brought Israel up out of Egypt, and I rescued you from the hands of the Egyptians and 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 today you have rejected your God, who saves you from all your troubles and afflictions, and you have said to Him, ‘No, set a king over us.’ Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes and clans.”
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 loha thawng thawng la BOEIPA mikhmuh ah pai uh laeh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
20 Thus Samuel had all the tribes of Israel come forward, and the tribe of Benjamin was selected.
Israel koca rhoek boeih te Samuel loh a paan tih Benjamin koca te a tuuk.
21 Then he had the tribe of Benjamin come forward by its clans, and the clan of Matri was selected. Finally, Saul son of Kish was selected. But when they looked for him, they could not find him.
Te phoeiah Benjamin koca te a cako, a cako la, a nawn tih Matri cako te a tuuk. Te vaengaha tuuk tangtae Kish capa Saul te a toem uh dae hmu pawh.
22 So again they inquired of the LORD, “Has the man come here yet?” And the LORD replied, “Behold, he has hidden himself among the baggage.”
Te dongah BOEIPA taengah, “Tekah hlang te hela ha pawk hlan a?” tila koepa dawt uh. Tedae BOEIPA loh, “Hnopai khuiah amah thuh uh lahko te,” a ti nah.
23 So they ran and brought Saul, and when he stood among the people, he was a head taller than any of the others.
Te dongah yong uh tih Saul te a loh uh. Te vaengah pilnam lakli ah pai hang dae a laengpang lamloha so hang mah pilnam boeih lakah sang.
24 Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see the one the LORD has chosen? There is no one like him among all the people.” And all the people shouted, “Long live the king!”
Te phoeiah Pilnam pum te Samuel loh, “BOEIPA loh aniha 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 explained to the people the rights of kingship. He wrote them on a scroll and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, each to his own home.
Te phoeiah mangpa kah laitloeknah te Samuel loh pilnam hama thui pah. Cabu dongah khawa daek tih BOEIPA hmai aha tloeng. Te daengah pilnam pum te Samuel loh a im la boeiha tueih.
26 Saul also went to his home in Gibeah, and the men of valor whose hearts God had touched went with him.
Saul khaw Gibeah kah amah im laa caeh hatah Pathen loh a lungbueia bi pah tangtae tatthai hlang te tah anih taengla cet uh.
27 But some worthless men said, “How can this man save us?” So they despised him and brought him no gifts; but Saul remained silent about it.
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 laa om tak.
