1 Samuel 7
1 Then the men of Kiriath-jearim came for the ark of the LORD and took it into Abinadab’s house on the hill. And they consecrated his son Eleazar to guard the ark of the LORD.
Hijeh chun Kiriath-jearim mite chu ahung uvin Pakai thingkong chu ahung kilah tauve. Amahon Pakai thingkong chu thinglhang lama Abinadab inah alhut’un, achingtup dingin Eleazer achapa ngansena anei tauve.
2 And from that day a long time passed, twenty years in all, as the ark remained at Kiriath-jearim. And all the house of Israel mourned and sought after the LORD.
Thingkong chu phat sottah kum somni vel Kiriath-jearim muna um ahi. Hiche phatsung chun Israel pumpi chu ana lunghem lheh jeng uve, ajeh chu amahon Pakaiyin nampi chu adalhah bang’a a agel u ahi.
3 Then Samuel said to all the house of Israel, “If you are returning to the LORD with all your hearts, then rid yourselves of the foreign gods and Ashtoreths among you, prepare your hearts for the LORD, and serve Him only. And He will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.”
Chuin Samuel in Israel pumpi jah’ah, “Nangho atahbeh’a Pakai heng lam’a hung kile nom mong nahiule, nangho lah’a um gamchom mite indoi Ashtoreth chu paidoh un, chule Pakaiya dingin nalung sung’u kigong tup unlang, amabou jen’un chutileh Aman Philistine mite akona nahuhdoh thei diu ahi,” ati.
4 So the Israelites put away the Baals and Ashtoreths and served only the LORD.
Hijeh chun Israel miten jong amahoa um Baal chule Ashtoreth gamchom mite indoi chu apaidoh’un, Pakai jengbou ahou tauve.
5 Then Samuel said, “Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray to the LORD on your behalf.”
Chuin Samuel in, “Israel mite jouse nabonchauvin Mizpah mun’ah hung kikhom un, chutengle keima nangho dingin tao vinge,” ati.
6 When they had gathered at Mizpah, they drew water and poured it out before the LORD. On that day they fasted, and there they confessed, “We have sinned against the LORD.” And Samuel judged the Israelites at Mizpah.
Hijeh chun Israel mite jong Mizpah mun’ah akikhom khom’un, Pakai hounan twi agathal uvin Pakai angsunga asung lhauvin, hiche nikho chun an angol uvin, Pakai douna a achonset nau akisihun ahi. (Hiche Mizpah muna chu Samuel Israelte thutanna ahung pang na chu ahi).
7 When the Philistines heard that the Israelites had gathered at Mizpah, their rulers marched up toward Israel. And when the Israelites learned of this, they feared the Philistines
Philistine lamkai hon Israel mite Mizpeh mun’ah akikhom uve tithu ajah phat’un, asepai ho akigon tupsah’un ahi. Philistine miten eihin nai tauve ti ajah phat’un Israel mite jong akicha lheh jeng’un ahi.
8 and said to Samuel, “Do not stop crying out to the LORD our God for us, that He may save us from the hand of the Philistines.”
“Pakai Pathen in Philistine te khut a kona eihuhdoh na diuva, taona’a ilhahsam louhel diu ahi,” tin Samuel komah ngehna ahung neijuve.
9 Then Samuel took a suckling lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the LORD. He cried out to the LORD on behalf of Israel, and the LORD answered him.
Chuin Samuel in kengoinou khat alan Pakai hengah katdohna pumgo thilto maicham asem’in ahi. Aman Israel mite taopehna aneijin, Pathen in ataona asanpeh tan ahi.
10 As the Philistines drew near to fight against Israel, Samuel was sacrificing the burnt offering. But that day the LORD thundered loudly against the Philistines and threw them into such confusion that they fled before Israel.
Samuel in hiche govam thilto abollaijin, Philistinete chu Israelte sat dingin ahung naijun, ahi. Ahinlah Pakai in kidang tah’in van aginsah in, keh alhah sah in, hiche nikho chun Philistine te boinan alhun den’un, Israel chaten galjona anei tauve.
11 Then the men of Israel charged out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, striking them down all the way to an area below Beth-car.
Chuin Israelte chu Mizpah a konin apot doh’un, Philistine techu anungdal’un, Beth-car aphah kahseu vin athat tou peh’un ahi.
12 Afterward, Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the LORD has helped us.”
Chuin Samuel in songtumlen khat alan Mizpah le Jeshanah kikah ah aphut’in, aman hiche mun chu EBENEZER asah’in ahi. Ajeh chu, “Hilai mun chan’ah Pathen in ei kithopiuve,” ati.
13 So the Philistines were subdued, and they stopped invading the territory of Israel. And the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
Hijeh chun phat chomkhat sungin Philistine miten Irael mite ahin nokhum tapouve. Chule Samuel phatlai sungsen, Pathen thahat najallin Philistne mite anem lhauvin ahi.
14 The cities from Ekron to Gath, which the Philistines had taken, were restored to Israel, who also delivered the surrounding territory from the hand of the Philistines. And there was peace between the Israelites and the Amorites.
Chule Philistine miten Israel mite’a analah peh’u, Ekron chule Gath koma khopi analah ho jong Israelte alepeh kittan, chule agam kimvel jouse jong chu Philistine te khutna konin Israelten alelah kit tauvin ahi. Chule Israel mite le Amon mite kah’a chamna aumin ahi.
15 So Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
Chule Samuel in adamlai sungin Israel mite thu ana tan’in ahi.
16 Every year he would go on a circuit from Bethel to Gilgal to Mizpah, judging Israel in all these places.
Akumseh leh gamsung akhol kimvellin, Bethel le Gilgal, chule Mizpah a ache velkol jingin ahi. Aman Israel mite chungah, adeh in hiche munho lah’a hin thu anatan jin ahi.
17 Then he would return to Ramah because his home was there, and there he judged Israel and built an altar to the LORD.
Chule Ramah kho’a ain aumjeh chun ain’ah ahung kilejin, chule Israelte thu anatan jin ahi. Chule Samuel in Ramah a chun Pakaiya ding in maicham khat asemin ahi
