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 ni Isarelnaw pueng koe, khenhaw! kai koe na dei awh e pueng hah ka tarawi teh nangmouh siangpahrang na poe awh.
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.
Atu khenhaw! siangpahrang ni na hrawi awh toe. Kai hateh kamatong toe. Ka sam hai a po toe. Khenhaw! ka capanaw teh nangmouh koe ao awh teh, a nawca hoi sahnin totouh na hrawi awh toe.
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.
Hivah ka o, BAWIPA hmalah hoi satui a awi e hmalah ka o. Dei awh haw. Apie maito maw ouk ka lawp. Apie la maw ouk ka lawp. Apimaw ouk ka hmuhma. Apimaw ouk ka pacekpahlek. Ka mit dawn sak hanlah api kut dawk e tadawngnae maw ouk ka ca. Koung na patho awh han telah atipouh.
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.
Ahnimouh ni na dum boi awh hoeh. Na pacekpahlek boi awh hoeh. Apie kut dawk e hno hai na lat boihoeh atipouh awh.
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.
Samuel ni hai kaie kut dawk buetbuet touh hai nangmouh ni na hmu awh hoeh e hah BAWIPA teh nangmouh koe lah kapanuekkhaikung lah ao. Satui awi lah kaawm e hai kapanuekkhaikung lah ao telah ati. Ahnimouh ni hai ahni teh kapanuekkhaikung lah ao telah ati awh.
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.
Samuel ni taminaw koe, Mosi hoi Aron thaw ka poe niteh, Izip ram hoi na mintoenaw ka tâcawtkhai e hai BAWIPA doeh.
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.
Hatdawkvah, na mintoenaw koe hno kalan a saknae hah BAWIPA e hmalah pouk pouh thai nahanlah, atu sairasuepcalah kangdout awh.
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.
Jakop ni Izip ram a pha hnukkhu nangmae mintoenaw ni BAWIPA koe a hram awh navah, Mosi hoi Aron hah Cathut ni a patoun teh, ahnimouh ni nangmae mintoenaw hah Izip ram hoi a tâcokhai hnukkhu, ahnimanaw teh hete ram dawk ao sak awh.
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.
BAWIPA Cathut hah a pahnim awh navah Hazar ransabawi Sisera kut dawk thoseh, Filistinnaw e kut dawk thoseh, Moab siangpahrang kut dawk thoseh, a yo teh ahnimanaw ni, ahnimanaw ni ahnimouh a tuk awh.
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.
BAWIPA koevah a hram awh teh, BAWIPA a pahnawt awh. Baal hoi Ashtaroth e thaw tawk awh kecu dawkvah, yon awh toe. Hatei sahnin tarannaw e kut dawk hoi na rungngang nateh na thaw ka tawk awh han telah a ti.
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.
BAWIPA ni Jerubbaal, Bendan, Jephthah, hoi Samuel tinaw a patoun teh, nangmanaw na tengpam e taran kut dawk hoi na rungngang awh teh, nangmanaw runae awm laipalah lungmawng lah na o awh.
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.
Ammon miphunnaw e siangpahrang Nahash ni nangmouh na tuk awh hane hah, nangmouh ni na hmu awh navah nangmae Cathut teh nangmae siangpahrang nahlangva, telah nahoeh. Siangpahrang ni ma kaimouh na uk seh telah na ti awh.
13 And now behold the king whom you have chosen; and behold, the Lord has set a king over you.
Atu na hei e nangmouh ni na rawi e siangpahrang khenhaw! khenhaw! BAWIPA ni nangmae lathueng siangpahrang a rawi toe.
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].
Nangmouh ni BAWIPA na taki awh teh, BAWIPA e thaw na tawk awh pawiteh, BAWIPA e lawk na tarawi na ngâi awh pawiteh, nangmouh hoi nangmouh koe lawkcengkung siangpahrang hoi BAWIPA Cathut e hnuk na dawn awh pawiteh ahawi.
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.
Hatei Cathut e lawk na tarawi awh hoeh lah kâlawk na tapoe awh pawiteh, BAWIPA e a kut teh na mintoenaw e lathueng, runae a pha sak e patetlah nangmouh koehai a pha han.
16 And now stand still, and see this great thing, which the Lord will do before your eyes.
BAWIPA ni nangmae na mithmu hno ka lentoe poung a sak hane hah, duem awm awh nateh khenhaw.
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.
Sahnin catun anae tueng nahoehmaw. Kho rak sak hane hoi khoparit sak hanelah, kai ni Cathut ka kaw han. Hatnavah, siangpahrang na heinae kong dawk, BAWIPA mithmu vah yonnae kalenpoung na sak awh e na kâpanue awh vaiteh na hmu awh han telah a ti.
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.
Samuel ni BAWIPA a kaw teh, BAWIPA ni hote hnin dawk, kho a parit sak teh, kho a rak sak. Hat torei teh taminaw ni BAWIPA hoi Samuel hah a taki poung awh.
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.
Tamihunaw ni Samuel koevah, due awh hoeh nahan, BAWIPA na Cathut koe sannaw hanelah na ratoum pouh haw. Hettelah e Siangpahrang ka hei awh e heh, ka payonae kâthap sin e lah ao telah ati awh.
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.
Samuel ni taminaw koevah, taket awh hanh. Kahawi hoeh e heh na sak awh katang doeh. Hatei BAWIPA e hnuk na kabang awh e phen laipalah, BAWIPA e thaw na lungthin katang hoi tawk awh.
21 And turn not aside after the [gods] that are nothing, who will do nothing, and will not deliver [you], because they are nothing.
Banglahai ka cungkeihoehe hnukkâbang e lahoi phen awh hanh. Hawinae na poe mahoeh na rungngang thai mahoeh. Hotnaw teh a yawmyin doeh.
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.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka lentoe e min kecu dawk BAWIPA ni a taminaw cettakhai mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a tami lah coung sak e hah BAWIPA a lunghawinae doeh.
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.
Kai hateh, nangmouh han ratoumnae kâhatnae lahoi BAWIPA koe ka yonnae hoi kâhlat naseh. Kai ni nangmouh hah kahawi ni teh ka lamkahawi hoi lamkatang na pâtue awh han.
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.
Nangmouh ni BAWIPA dueng mah taket awh haw, lungthin abuemlahoi yuemkamcu lah amae thaw tawk awh haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh hanelah, a sak e hno kalenpoung hah pouk awh haw.
25 But if you continue to do evil, then shall you and your king be consumed.
Nangmouh ni thoenae na sak awh rah pawiteh, nangmouh hoi nangmae siangpahrang khuehoi koung pâmit lah na o awh han telah atipouh.
