Kings I 9
1 And [there was] a man of the sons of Benjamin, and his name [was] Kis, the son of Abiel, the son of Jared, the son of Bachir, the son of Aphec, the son of a Benjamite, a man of might.
Benjamin miphun, Aphiah capa, Bekorath capa, Zeror capa, Abiel capa, Kish kâphung e Benjamin miphun buet touh ao. Ahni teh athakaawme lah ao.
2 And this man [had] a son, and his name was Saul, of great stature, a goodly man; and there was not amongst the sons of Israel a goodlier than he, high above all the people from his shoulders and upward.
Ahni ni capa a tawn teh, a min Sawl a phung a meilam hroung ahawi. Isarelnaw thung dawkvah ahni hlak a mei kahawi e awm hoeh. A rasang e hai alouknaw ni aloung koe hmouk a vout pouh.
3 And the asses of Kis the father of Saul were lost; and Kis said to Saul his son, Take with you one of the young men, and arise you, and go seek the asses.
Sawl e a na pa Kish e a lanaw teh a kahma. Kish ni a capa Sawl koevah thaw nateh san thoundoun buet touh cetkhai nateh, la hah tawng awh haw atipouh.
4 And they went through mount Ephraim, and they went through the land of Selcha, and found them not: and they passed through the land of Segalim, and they were not there: and they passed through the land of Jamin, and found them not.
Ahnimouh ni Ephraim mon Shalisha ram pheng a katin awh teh a tawng awh ei, pâphawng awh hoeh. Shaalim ram dawk a tawng awh eiteh, hmawt awh hoeh. Hatdawkvah, Benjaminnaw e ram dawk bout a tawng awh, hatei hmawt awh hoeh.
5 And when they came to Siph, then Saul said to his young man that was with him, Come and let us return, lest my father leave the asses, and take care for us.
Zuph ram lah a pha awh toteh Sawl ni ama koe kaawm e a san koevah, tho awh ban awh lei sei, telah hoehpawiteh, apa ni la hah pouk toung laipalah, maimouh doeh na lungpuenkhai ti toe telah ati.
6 And the young man said to him, Behold now, [there is] a man of God in this city, and the man [is] of high repute; all that he shall speak will surely come to pass: now then let us go, that he may tell us our way on which we have set out.
A san ni vah, hete kho dawk Cathut e tami bari kaawm e ao. Ahni ni a dei e pueng a kuep katang. Ahni koe cet awh sei. Maimouh cei nahane lam hai na dei pouh thai han doeh telah atipouh.
7 And Saul said to his young man that was with him, Behold, then, we will go; but what shall we bring the man of God? for the loaves are spent out of our vessels, and we have nothing more with us that belongs to us to bring to the man of God.
Sawl ni a san koevah, maimouh cei awh vaiteh ahni bangmaw poe awh han. Vaiyei hai abaw toe. Cathut e tami koe sin hane banghai awm hoeh toe. Bangmaw tawn awh rah telah a pacei.
8 And the young man answered Saul again, and said, Behold, there is found in my hand a fourth part of a shekel of silver; and you shall give it to the man of God, and he shall tell us our way.
A san ni Sawl koe shekel pung pali pung touh dawk pung touh kut dawk ao rah. Cathut e tami koe poe han. Ahni ni maimouh cei nahan lamthung na dei pouh han doeh telah bout a dei.
9 Now before time in Israel every one in going to enquire of God said, Come and let us go to the seer; for the people beforetime called the prophet, the seer.
Ayan e tueng dawk Isarelnaw ni Cathut pacei hane cet awh sei ati awh navah, kahmawtkung koe cet awh sei ouk ati awh. Profet telah kaw e hah ayan e tueng dawk kahmawtkung telah a kaw awh dawk doeh.
10 And Saul said to his servant, Well said, come and let us go: and they went to the city where the man of God was.
Sawl ni hai a san koe ahawi. Cet awh sei atipouh teh, Cathut e tami a onae kho koe lah a cei awh.
11 As they went up the ascent to the city, they find damsels come out to draw water, and they say to them, Is the seer here?
Khopui a onae mon lah a luen awh navah tui ka do hane napui ka tho e a hmu awh teh, hivah kahmawtkung tami ao nama telah a pacei.
12 And the virgins answered them, and they say to them, He is: behold, [he is] before you: now he is coming to the city, because of the day, for today [there is] a sacrifice for the people in Bama.
Ahnimouh ni ao, nangmae na hmalah a la pha toe karanglah cet awh. Sahnin taminaw ni hmuen karasang koe thuengnae sak hanelah ao dawkvah, sahnin kho dawk a tho awh toe.
13 As soon as you shall enter into the city, so shall you find him in the city, before he goes up to Bama to eat; for the people will not eat until he comes in, for he blesses the sacrifice, and afterwards the guests eat; now then go up, for you shall find him because of the holiday.
Kho thung a kâen tahma, hmuen karasang koe bu a ca hoehnahlan vah, tang na hmu awh han doeh. Thuengnae yawhawi kapoekung lah ao dawkvah, a pha hoehroukrak rangpuinaw ni bu cat awh mahoeh. Hathnukkhu coun e naw ni ouk a ca awh. Hatdawkvah, atu karanglah cet awh leih, tang na hmu awh han doeh telah a dei pouh.
14 And they go up to the city; and as they were entering into the midst of the city, behold, Samuel came out to meet them, to go up to Bama.
Ahnimouh teh khopui vah a cei awh teh, a kâen awh navah, Samuel hmuen karasang koe luen hanelah a kaw nah ahnimouh ni a kâhmo.
15 And the Lord uncovered the ear of Samuel one day before Saul came to him, saying,
Sawl a tho hoehnahlan BAWIPA ni Samuel koe sut a dei pouh teh,
16 At this time to-morrow I will send to you a man out of the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be ruler over my people Israel, and he shall save my people out of the hand of the Philistines; for I have looked upon the humiliation of my people, for their cry is come to me.
tangtho, atu e tueng navah Benjamin ram hoi tami buet touh nang koe ka patoun han. Filistinnaw e kut dawk hoi ka taminaw rungngang hanlah, ka tami Isarelnaw e lathueng vah kâ kapoekung lah satui na awi han. Bangkongtetpawiteh a hramnae kai koe a pha dawkvah, kai ni ka taminaw han kho ka pouk pouh toe telah ati.
17 And Samuel looked upon Saul, and the Lord answered him, Behold the man of whom I spoke to you, this one shall rule over my people.
Samuel ni Sawl a hmu toteh, BAWIPA ni ahni koevah, khenhaw! nang koe ka dei e teh ahni doeh. Ahni ni ka taminaw a uk han telah ati.
18 And Saul drew near to Samuel into the midst of the city, and said, Tell me now which [is] the house of the seer?
Khopui takhang dawk Sawl ni Samuel koe rek a hnai teh, kahmawtkung e im teh nâmaw ao na dei pouh haw atipouh.
19 And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am he: go up before me to Bama, and eat with me today, and I will send you away in the morning, and I will tell you all that is in your heart.
Samuel ni Sawl koe kai doeh kahmawtkung toe atipouh. Kahma lahoi hmuen karasang koelah cet nateh, sahnin vah kai koe bu na ca vaiteh, tangtho torei na ceisak han. Na lungthung kaawm e puenghai kai ni ka dei han.
20 And concerning your asses that have been lost now these three days, care not for them, for they are found. And to whom does the excellency of Israel belong? does it not to you and to your father's house?
Hnin thum touh kaloum tangcoung e nange na kong hah teh mueng pouk hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a hmu awh toe. Isarelnaw han lentoenae teh api hane nama. Na pa hoi na pa im kaawm e pueng hane nahoehmaw telah atipouh.
21 And Saul answered and said, Am not I the son of a Benjamite, the least tribe of the people of Israel? and of the least family of the whole tribe of Benjamin? and why have you spoken to me according to this word?
Sawl ni Isarel miphun thung dawk kathoengcae Benjamin miphun nahoehmaw Bangdawk hah namaw hettelah kai koe lawk na dei thai telah bout atipouh.
22 And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them to the inn, and set them there a place amongst the chief of those that were called, about seventy men.
Samuel ni Sawl hoi a sannaw hah imyin onae a khan dawk a ceikhai awh teh, a coun awh e tami 30 touh thung hlak vah barinae hmuen koe a tahung sak.
23 And Samuel said to the cook, Give me the portion which I gave you, which I told you to set by you.
Samuel ni bu kathawngkung koe nang koe aloukcalah hmoun e na poe e hno hah lat hottelah ati.
24 Now the cook [had] boiled the shoulder, and he set it before Saul; and Samuel said to Saul, Behold that which is left: set before you, an eat; for it is set you for a testimony in preference to the others; take [of it]: and Saul ate with Samuel on that day.
Bu ka thawng e ni a loung dawk hoi a hrawm teh Sawl e hmalah a hruek. Samuel ni hai, pek e lah kaawm e hah lat nateh cat haw, coun e naw koe yo ka dei pouh e patetlah nang hanelah atu totouh ka hruek e doeh ati teh hat hnin vah Sawl teh Samuel hoi rawca rei a ca roi.
25 And he went down from Bama into the city; and they prepared a lodging for Saul on the roof, and he lay down.
Hmuenrasang koehoi a kum awh teh khopui thung a kâen awh toteh, Samuel hoi Sawl teh lemphu van vah lawk a kâpan roi.
26 An it came to pass when the morning dawned, that Samuel called Saul on the roof, saying, Rise up, and I will dismiss you. And Saul arose, and he and Samuel went out.
Amom a thaw teh, kho a sei navah, Samuel ni thaw haw kai ni nang na ceisak han toe telah Sawl hah lemphu hoi a kaw. Sawl a thaw teh ahnimouh roi teh alawilah a tâco roi.
27 As they went down to a part of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Speak to the young man, and let him pass on before us; and do you stand as today, and listen to the word of God.
Kho a poutnae koe lah a pha toteh, Samuel ni Sawl koe na sannaw hah maimae hmalah cetsak atipouh. Sannaw teh a cei awh. Hatei Cathut lawk nang koe ka dei thai nahan nang teh kang dout ei telah atipouh.
