1 Samuel 13
1 Saul was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned over Israel forty-two years.
Sawl ni kum touh a uk teh Isarelnaw apâhni kum a uknae kum dawk,
2 He chose for himself three thousand men of Israel: Two thousand were with Saul at Michmash and in the hill country of Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. And the rest of the troops he sent away, each to his own home.
Sawl ni Isarelnaw tami 3,000 touh a rawi. Tami 2000 touh teh Mikmash hoi Bethel mon dawk Sawl koe ao awh teh, 1,000 touh teh Benjamin ram Gilead vah Jonathan koe ao awh. Alouknaw pueng teh amamouh onae koe rim dawk lengkaleng a ban sak.
3 Then Jonathan attacked the Philistine outpost at Geba, and the Philistines heard about it. So Saul blew the ram’s horn throughout the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews hear!”
Jonathan ni Geba vah Filistin kho ramveng a thei e hah Filistinnaw ni a thai awh. Sawl ni Hebrunaw ni hai thai naseh a titeh, ram pueng dawk mongka a ueng sak.
4 And all Israel heard the news: “Saul has attacked an outpost of the Philistines, and now Israel has become a stench to the Philistines!” Then the people were summoned to join Saul at Gilgal.
Isarel miphunnaw ni Filistin kho ramveng Sawl ni a thei e hah, Filistinnaw han Isarelnaw teh panuetthopounge lah ao e a thai awh navah, Gilgal kho kaawm e Sawl koe cei hanelah tamimaya teh a kaw awh.
5 Now the Philistines assembled to fight against Israel with three thousand chariots, six thousand horsemen, and troops as numerous as the sand on the seashore. They went up and camped at Michmash, east of Beth-aven.
Filistinnaw teh Isarelnaw tuk hanelah, a kamkhueng awh. Rangleng 30,000, marangransanaw 6,000 hoi tuipui rai e sadi patetlah kapap e ransanaw ao awh teh Bethaven kho Kanîtholae Mikmash kho dawk a roe awh.
6 Seeing that they were in danger because their troops were hard-pressed, the men of Israel hid in caves and thickets, among the rocks, and in cellars and cisterns.
Isarelnaw ni takikatho poung e thung ka o tie a panue awh navah, atangawn talung kâko, buruk thung, atangawn talungnaw e rahak vah, tumdum e thung, talai kâko dawk a kâhro awh.
7 Some Hebrews even crossed the Jordan into the land of Gad and Gilead. Saul, however, remained at Gilgal, and all his troops were quaking in fear.
Hebru miphunnaw tangawn Jordan tui namran Gad hoi Gilead ram dawk a kâran awh. Sawl teh Gilgal vah ao. Tamihu ni taki pâyaw laihoi a hnuk a kâbang awh.
8 And Saul waited seven days for the time appointed by Samuel, but Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the troops began to desert Saul.
Samuel ni hnin a khoe e patetlah hnin 7 touh a ring. Hatei Samuel teh Gilgal vah tho hoeh, a hnukkâbang e naw ni ahni teh a kâran takhai awh.
9 So he said, “Bring me the burnt offering and the peace offerings.” And he offered up the burnt offering.
Sawl ni hmaisawi thuengnae hoi roum thuengnae kai koe thokhai awh atipouh. Hottelah hmaisawi thuengnae a sak.
10 Just as he finished offering the burnt offering, Samuel arrived, and Saul went out to greet him.
Hmaisawi thuengnae a sak hnukkhu, Samuel a tho teh Sawl ni ahni kâhmo hanelah a dawn.
11 “What have you done?” Samuel asked. And Saul replied, “When I saw that the troops were deserting me, and that you did not come at the appointed time and the Philistines were gathering at Michmash,
Samuel ni bangmaw na sak atipouh. Sawl ni taminaw ni be na kâran takhai teh, atueng khoe e hnin dawk na tho hoeh. Filistinnaw Mikmash vah be a kamkhueng awh toe tie ka thai.
12 I thought, ‘Now the Philistines will descend upon me at Gilgal, and I have not sought the favor of the LORD.’ So I felt compelled to offer the burnt offering.”
Hatdawkvah, Filistinnaw ni Gilgal vah na la tuk awh toe. BAWIPA koe pahrennae hei hane hai ka sak hoeh rah. Hatdawkvah, hmaisawi thuengnae teh sak hoeh laipalah coung hoeh toe telah ati.
13 “You have acted foolishly,” Samuel declared. “You have not kept the command that the LORD your God gave you; if you had, the LORD would have established your kingdom over Israel for all time.
Samuel ni Sawl koe pathu poung lahoi na sak toe. BAWIPA Cathut e kâpoelawk na tarawi hoeh toe. Na tarawi pawiteh BAWIPA ni Isarelnaw lathueng uknaeram kâ pou a caksak han.
14 But now your kingdom will not endure; the LORD has sought a man after His own heart and appointed him ruler over His people, because you have not kept the command of the LORD.”
Atuteh nange uknaeram cak mahoeh toe. BAWIPA ni ama lungkayouk e a tawng teh, a tami lathueng vah kahrawikung lah o hane BAWIPA ni kâ a poe toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e kâpoelawk na tarawi hoeh toe.
15 Then Samuel set out from Gilgal and went up to Gibeah in Benjamin. And Saul numbered the troops who were with him, about six hundred men.
Samuel a thaw teh Gilgal kho hoi Benjamin ram Gibeah vah a takhang. Sawl ni ama koe kaawm e a touk teh 600 tabang a pha.
16 Now Saul and Jonathan his son and the troops with them were staying in Geba of Benjamin, while the Philistines camped at Michmash.
Sawl hoi a capa Jonathan hoi ahnimouh koe rei kaawm e Benjamin ram Geba vah ao awh rah. Hatei, Filistinnaw teh Mikmash vah a tungpup awh.
17 And raiders went out of the Philistine camp in three divisions. One headed toward Ophrah in the land of Shual,
Filistinnaw e roenae hmuen koehoi taran ahu kathum touh ni a cei awh teh, Shual ram, Ophrah lah a cei awh.
18 another toward Beth-horon, and the third down the border road overlooking the Valley of Zeboim facing the wilderness.
Ahu buet touh ni, Bethhoron koelae lam, ahu buet touh ni Zeboiim yon kahrawngum khori koelae lam a dawn awh.
19 And no blacksmith could be found in all the land of Israel, because the Philistines had said, “The Hebrews must not be allowed to make swords or spears.”
Isarel abuemlah dawk sumkadêinaw buet touh boehai hmu hane awm hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Filistinnaw ni Hebrunaw teh tahroe hoi tahloi sakpayon vaih telah ati awh dawk doeh.
20 Instead, all the Israelites would go down to the Philistines to sharpen their plowshares, mattocks, axes, and sickles.
Hottelah, Isarel taminaw teh tawkso thoseh, thunha thoseh, cakâ, tangkounnaw kata hanelah Filistinnaw koe ouk a ceikhai awh.
21 The charge was a pim for sharpening a plowshare or mattock, a third of a shekel for sharpening a pitchfork or an axe, and a third of a shekel for repointing an oxgoad.
Tawkso, thunha, a hâ kathum touh samphei e tawkso, cakâ hoi sâw aphu teh Shekel phek touh doeh.
22 So on the day of battle not a sword or spear could be found in the hands of the troops with Saul and Jonathan; only Saul and his son Jonathan had weapons.
Hatdawkvah, taran tuknae hnin dawk Sawl hoi Jonathan tinaw hoi rei kaawm e ransanaw e kut dawk, tahloi tahroe awm hoeh. Sawl hoi Jonathan koe dueng doeh ao.
23 And a garrison of the Philistines had gone out to the pass at Michmash.
Hat hoi Filistin ramvengnaw teh Mikmash rakan hanelah hoi a cei awh.
