Kings I 12
1 And Samuel said to all Israel, Behold, I have listened to your voice in all things that you have said to me, and I have set a king over you.
Samuel loh Israel pum taengah, “Kai taengah na thui carhui tah nangmih ol te ka hnatun dongah nangmih soah manghai pakhat ka manghai sak coeng ne.
2 And now, behold, the king goes before you; and I am grown old and shall rest; and, behold, my sons [are] amongst you; and, behold, I have gone about before you from my youth to this day.
Nangmih hmai ah manghai pakhat cet pawn ni ne. Kai he ka patong tih sampok loh n'rhol cakhaw ka ca rhoek he nangmih taengah om uh van coeng. Kai khaw ka camoe lamloh tihnin duela nangmih hmai ah ka cet van coeng.
3 Behold, [here am] I, answer against me before the Lord and before his anointed: whose calf have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom of you have I oppressed? or from whose hand have I taken a bribe, even [to] a sandal? bear witness against me, and I will make restitution to you.
Heah he kai ka om tih BOEIPA hmai neh amah kah messiah hmai ah kai n'doo cakhaw, ukah vaito lae ka loh pah, ukah laak lae ka loh pah, ulae ka hnaemtaek tih ulae ka neet coeng, u kut lamkah tlansum lae ka loh. Te dongah amah taengah ka mik ka him vetih nangmih te kan sah bitni,” a ti nah.
4 And they said to Samuel, You have not injured us, and you have not oppressed us; and you have not afflicted us, and you have not taken anything from any one's hand.
Tedae, “Kaimih nan hnaemtaek moenih, kaimih nan neet moenih, hlang kut lamkah hno pakhat khaw na loh moenih,” a ti uh.
5 And Samuel said to the people, The Lord [is] witness amongst you, and his anointed [is] witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand: and they said, [He is] witness.
Te phoeiah pilnam te, “Ka kut dongah hno pakhat khat khaw na hmuh uh pawt te tihnin ah BOEIPA kah laipai neh a koelh hlang kah laipai khaw nangmih taengah om,” a ti nah hatah, “Laipai om coeng,” a ti uh.
6 And Samuel spoke to the people, saying, The Lord who appointed Moses and Aaron [is] witness, who brought our fathers up out of Egypt.
Te phoeiah pilnam taengah Samuel loh, “Moses neh Aaron khaw BOEIPA amah loh a saii tih Egypt kho lamkah na pa rhoek te khaw amah loh a caeh puei.
7 And now stand still, and I will judge you before the Lord; and I will relate to you all the righteousness of the Lord, the things which he has wrought amongst you and your fathers.
Te dongah pai uh lamtah BOEIPA kah duengnah cungkuem loh nangmih ham neh na pa rhoek ham a saii vanbangla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah nangmih kah lai ka tloek pawn ni.
8 When Jacob and his sons went into Egypt, and Egypt humbled them, then our fathers cried to the Lord, and the Lord sent Moses and Aaron; and they brought our fathers out of Egypt, and he made them to dwell in this place.
Jakob loh Egypt a paan tih na pa rhoek loh BOEIPA a doek uh. Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron a tueih vanbangla na pa rhoek te Egypt lamkah a khuen rhoi tih he hmuen ah kho a sak sak.
9 And they forgot the Lord their God, and he sold them into the hands of Sisara captain of the host of Jabis king of Asor, and into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the king of Moab; and he fought with them.
Tedae BOEIPA a Pathen te a hnilh uh. Te dongah amih te Hazor caempuei kah mangpa Sisera kut la, Philisti kut khui neh Moab manghai kut khuila a yoih tih amih te a vathoh thiluh.
10 And they cried to the Lord, and said, We have sinned, for we have forsaken the Lord, and have served Baalim and the groves: and now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve you.
Te daengah BOEIPA te a khue uh tih a voek uh. Te vaengah, “BOEIPA te ka hnoo uh tih Baal taeng neh Ashtoreth taengah tho ka thueng uh dongah ka tholh uh. Tedae kaimih he ka thunkha kut lamloh nan huul laeh vetih namah taengah tho ka thueng uh mako,” a ti uh.
11 And he sent Jerobaal, and Barac, and Jephthae, and Samuel, and rescued us out of the hand of our enemies round about, and you lived in security.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Jerubbaal, Bedan, Jephthah neh Samuel han tueih tih voeivang lamkah na thunkha kut lamkah nangmih te n'huul tih ngaikhuek la kho na sak uh.
12 And you saw that Naas king of the children of Ammon came against you, and you said, Nay, none but a king shall reign over us; whereas the Lord our God [is] our king.
Nangmih aka paan Ammon ca rhoek kah manghai Nahash te na hmuh uh vaengah BOEIPA na Pathen he nangmih kah manghai la om dae ta kai taengah tah, 'Moenih, mamih soah manghai pakhat tah manghai van saeh,’ na ti uh.
13 And now behold the king whom you have chosen; and behold, the Lord has set a king over you.
Te dongah manghai na bih uh na coelh uh vanbangla BOEIPA loh nangmih ham manghai m'paek coeng he ne.
14 If you should fear the Lord, and serve him, and listen to his voice, and not resist the mouth of the Lord, and you and your king that reigns over you should follow the Lord, [well].
BOEIPA te na rhih uh tih amah taengah tho na thueng uh atah, a ol te hnatun uh. BOEIPA olpaek te koek uh boeh. Nangmih khaw, nangmih sokah aka manghai, manghai te khaw, BOEIPA na Pathen hnuk aka vai la om uh.
15 But if you should not listen to the voice of the Lord, and you should resist the mouth of the Lord, then shall the hand of the Lord be upon you and upon your king.
Tedae BOEIPA ol te na hnatun uh pawt tih BOEIPA ol te na koek uh atah nangmih khaw na pa rhoek bangla BOEIPA kut loh n'cuuk thil ni.
16 And now stand still, and see this great thing, which the Lord will do before your eyes.
BOEIPA loh nangmih mikhmuh ah a saii hno len he pai uh lamtah hmu uh laeh.
17 [Is it] not wheat harvest today? I will call upon the Lord, and he shall send thunder and rain; and know you and see, that your wickedness [is] great which you have wrought before the Lord, having asked for yourselves a king.
Tihnin he cang hamla cangah tue moenih nama? BOEIPA te ka khue vetih rhaek ol neh khotlan han tueih ve. Te dongah namah ham manghai na bih uh te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah na boethae ni muep na saii uh tila ming uh lamtah hmu uh, a ti nah.
18 And Samuel called upon the Lord, and the Lord sent thunders and rain in that day; and all the people feared greatly the Lord and Samuel.
Tekah khohnin dongah Samuel loh BOEIPA a khue hatah BOEIPA loh rhaek ol neh khotlan han tueih pah. Te dongah pilnam boeih loh BOEIPA neh Samuel te bahoeng a rhih.
19 And all the people said to Samuel, Pray for your servants to the Lord your God, and let us not die; for we have added to all our sins this iniquity, in asking for us a king.
Samuel taengah pilnam boeih loh, “BOEIPA na Pathen taengah na sal rhoek ham he thangthui laeh, te daengah ni kamamih ham manghai pakhat ka hoe uh tih boethae te tholh cungkuem neh ka koei uh he ka duek uh pawt eh?,” a ti uh.
20 And Samuel said to the people, Fear not: you have [indeed] wrought all this iniquity; only turn not from following the Lord, and serve the Lord with all your heart.
Te dongah pilnam te Samuel loh, “Boethae cungkuem na saii uh te na rhih uh moenih a? BOEIPA hnuk lamloh taengphael uh boeh. Na thinko boeih neh BOEIPA taengah thothueng uh.
21 And turn not aside after the [gods] that are nothing, who will do nothing, and will not deliver [you], because they are nothing.
Hinghong hnukah taengphael uh boeh. Amih tah hinghong tih n'hoeikhang sak mahpawh, n'huul mahpawh.
22 For the Lord will not cast off his people for his great name's sake, because the Lord graciously took you to himself for a people.
A ming tanglue kong ah BOEIPA loh a pilnam a phap sut moenih. Nangmih he a pilnam la saii ham BOEIPA loh a ngaih.
23 And far be it from me to sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you: but I will serve the Lord, and show you the good and the right way.
Nangmih yueng la thangthui ham te ka toeng tih BOEIPA taengah ka tholh ham tah kai lamkah savisava. Te dongah nangmih te longpuei ah a then neh a thuem khaw kan thuinuet ni.
24 Only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth and with all your heart, for you see what great things he has wrought with you.
BOEIPA te rhih uh lamtah na thinko boeih neh oltak dongah amah te thothueng thiluh. Nangmih te n'pantai sak te khaw hmu uh.
25 But if you continue to do evil, then shall you and your king be consumed.
Tedae na thae la na thae uh van atah namamih khaw na manghai neh na khoengvoep uh bitni,” a ti nah.
