1 Samuel 28
1 Now in those days the Philistines gathered their forces for warfare against Israel. So Achish said to David, “You must understand that you and your men are to go out to battle with me.”
Phat chomkhat jouvin, Philistine miten gamsunga a sepai jouse akikhom un, Israel mite toh kisat ding in akigo tauve. Achish lengpan David jah’ah, “Nangle na sepaiten galsat na-a neipan khompi diu ginchat aume,” ati.
2 David replied, “Then you will come to know what your servant can do.” “Very well,” said Achish. “I will make you my bodyguard for life.”
David jong nom in, “Aphalheh jenge! Ichan kabol the idol natahsa tah a namu ding ahi,” ati. Chuti chun Achish in David jah-a, “Keiman keima hinkho eivengtup dia kasem ding nahi,” ati.
3 Now by this time Samuel had died, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, his own city. And Saul had removed the mediums and spiritists from the land.
Samuel athi phat in, Israel pumpin alhaset piuvin, along a-op uvin, ama akhopi sung ma ma Ramah ah avuitauvin ahi. Chule Saul in agamsunga gaochang jouse le phunsan ho athisa ho lhagao ho toh kihoutoh ho jouse anomang tan ahi.
4 The Philistines came together and camped at Shunem, while Saul gathered all Israel and camped at Gilboa.
Philistine te akikou khom’un, Shunem ah ngahmun asauvin chule Saul in Israel sepai jouse akhomin Gilboa ah ngahmun asem in ahi.
5 When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was afraid and trembled violently.
Saul in Philistine sepai tamtah amuphat in akicha behseh jeng in alungthim alinglao lheh jengtan ahi.
6 He inquired of the LORD, but the LORD did not answer him by dreams or Urim or prophets.
Hichun aman, ipi kabolding hitam tin Pakai adongin, ahinlah Pakaiyin adonbut tapoi, mang hihenlang, chule Urim le Thummim phunsan jong chule themgao hijongle iman adonbut tapoi.
7 Then Saul said to his servants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, so I can go and consult her.” “There is a medium at Endor,” his servants replied.
Chuin Saul in athumop a pang ho asol’in, “Cheuvin lang Gaochang numei nei gahol peh un, keima chengting ama nu chu kagadoh ding ahi,” ati. Hitichun athumop a pang ho khat in, “Endor mun ah Gaochang numei khat aume,” ahin atipeh in ahi.
8 So Saul disguised himself by putting on different clothes, and he set out with two of his men. They came to the woman at night, and Saul said, “Consult a spirit for me. Bring up for me the one I name.”
Hichun Saul in athempu von chol akhellin von mai mai in akivon in, jan in sepai mi ni akipuijin numeinu in'a chun acheuvin ahi. Chun aman, “Keiman athisa mi khat kakihoupi nome, a lhagao neikou peh thei dem?” ati.
9 But the woman replied, “Surely you know what Saul has done, how he has killed the mediums and spiritists in the land. Why have you set a trap to get me killed?”
Numeinu chun, “Nangman tha ding a neigot ham? Saul in gamsunga kona gaochang jouse le phunsan them jouse adelmang hi nahet ding ahi. Chutia ahileh nangman ipi dinga keima kipalsahtei ding neigot ham?” ati.
10 Then Saul swore to her by the LORD: “As surely as the LORD lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this.”
Ahinlah Saul chu Pakai min pan in akihah sellin akitem in ahi. “Tahbeh’a hingjing Pakai mina kasei ahi, hiche nabol jeh hin ima thilse umponte,” ati.
11 “Whom shall I bring up for you?” the woman asked. “Bring up Samuel,” he replied.
Achainan numeinun jong, “Aphai, koipentah lhagao kakoudoh peh ding ham?” atile Saul in, “Samuel lhagao neikoudoh peh in,” ati.
12 But when the woman saw Samuel, she cried out in a loud voice and said to Saul, “Why have you deceived me? You are Saul!”
Numeinun Samuel amu phat in, ahung pengjah jeng in, “Nangman neijou lhep’e, nangma Saul nahi!” ati.
13 “Do not be afraid,” the king replied. “What do you see?” “I see a god coming up out of the earth,” the woman answered.
Hichun Lengpan amanu komah, “Kicha hih in, koi namum?” atile amanun jong, “Pathen khat kamun leisetna konin ahung pot doh’e,” ahin ti.
14 “What does he look like?” asked Saul. “An old man is coming up,” she replied. “And he is wearing a robe.” So Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed facedown in reverence.
Saul in, “Amapa chu koitoh kilou’em? Ama chu tehsepu ahin, sangkhol chol khat aki’ah e,” ati. Saul in Samuel ahi ahechentan, chuin amasanga tol’ah abohkhup’in chibai abohtai.
15 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” “I am deeply distressed,” replied Saul. “The Philistines are fighting against me, and God has turned away from me. He no longer answers me, either by prophets or by dreams. So I have called on you to tell me what to do.”
Hichun Samuel in, “Ipi jeh’a neisuh boiya, neinung kou ham?” Chuin Saul in, “Ajeh chu keima kaboina asanglhehtai, Philistine ten galsat din ahung kigo uvin, Pathen in eidalhatan, themgao ahiloule mang in jong eihetsah tapoi. Hijeh a chu nang kahin doh ahi, Ipi katiding hitam?” ati.
16 “Why do you consult me,” asked Samuel, “since the LORD has turned away from you and become your enemy?
Ahinla Samuel in adonbut in, “Pathen in nadalhah tah’a, chule agalmi nahitah’a ahile, Ibola kei neidoh ham?” ati.
17 He has done exactly what He spoke through me: The LORD has torn the kingship out of your hand and given it to your neighbor David.
“Pathenyin asei banga abol ahitai. Nalengam nanga kona alhe lhah a chule David joh apeh ahitai.
18 Because you did not obey the LORD or carry out His burning anger against Amalek, the LORD has done this to you today.
Pakai thupeh jouse napalkeh’a, alungnat na naboldoh a, Amalek mite le anei jouseu nasuhmang hel lou jeh'a tuahi Pakaiyin hita abol ahitai.
19 Moreover, the LORD will deliver Israel with you into the hand of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. And the LORD will deliver the army of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.”
Chule jing nikho teng le nang le na sepai teho jouse Philistine te khut’a apeh doh ding ahitai, chule nangma le nachapa kaheng’a hung ding nahi lhon tai. Israel sepaite jong Pakaiyin Philistine te khut’a pedohtante,” ati
20 Immediately Saul fell flat on the ground, terrified by the words of Samuel. And his strength was gone, because he had not eaten anything all that day and night.
Samuel thucheng seiho atijat behseh jeng jeh in, Saul chu tol’ah akijam jangden jengin ahi. Sun le jan’a an nelouva aum jeh in, agilkel in alhalhop jeng tan ahi.
21 When the woman came to Saul and saw how distraught he was, she said to him, “Look, your maidservant has obeyed your voice. I took my life in my hands and did as you told me.
Numeinu chea agavet le, atijat val chu amudoh in, “Kapu, neilungset’in kenbon kahinkho phalngam’a neidoh ho kanop’a kabolpeh ngam le,
22 Now please listen to your servant and let me set a morsel of bread before you so you may eat and have the strength to go on your way.”
Tun nangman jong kasei bangin bollin, neh ding phabep kapeh ding nahin, nenlang natha kidodoh sah kit in,” ati.
23 Saul refused, saying, “I will not eat.” But his servants joined the woman in urging him, and he heeded their voice. He got up from the ground and sat on the bed.
Ahinlah Saul in ima neh ding anom pon, Chule avaipote ho geiyin nehsah tei ding agouvin, akhon khon nan anomin tol’a konin ahung kithoudoh in jalkhun chung’a atousah tauvin ahi.
24 The woman had a fattened calf at her house, and she quickly slaughtered it. She also took flour, kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread.
Hiche numeinu hin aina bongnou thaochet khat anei ahin, hichu agathat loiyin, changbong toh ameh nangjet in, cholsolouvin changlhah akangtan ahi.
25 She served it to Saul and his servants, and they ate. And that night they got up and left.
Chuin changlhah le bongsa chu Saul le aloi teni chu athuh peh in ahile amahon anetauve. Aneh jou phat un hcihe jan chun amaho ahung kile kit tauve.
