< 1 Samuel 28 >

1 Now it happened that, in those days, the Philistines gathered together their troops, so that they might be prepared for war against Israel. And Achish said to David, “I know now, certainly, that you will go out with me to war, you and your men.”
Hate tueng dawk Filistinnaw ni a ransanaw hah Isarelnaw tuk hanelah a pâkhueng. Akhish ni Devit koevah nama hoi na taminaw hah ransanaw koe cei van han tie hah kamcengcalah panuek atipouh.
2 And David said to Achish, “You know now what your servant will do.” And Achish said to David, “And so, I will appoint you to guard my head for all days.”
Devit ni Akhish koevah a san ni bangmaw a sak thai tie hah panuek atipouh. Akhish ni Devit koevah, hatdawkvah ka tengo lah na ta han atipouh.
3 Now Samuel was dead, and all of Israel mourned for him, and they buried him in Ramah, his city. And Saul took away the magi and soothsayers from the land.
Samuel teh a due toung dawkvah, Isarelnaw pueng ni a khuika awh teh, amae kho Ramah vah a pakawp awh toe. Sawl ni khueyue hoi tonghmanaw pueng hai a ram thung hoi koung a pâlei toe.
4 And the Philistines gathered together, and they arrived and made camp at Shunem. Then Saul also gathered all of Israel, and he arrived at Gilboa.
Filistinnaw teh a kamkhueng awh teh Shunem kho vah a tungpup awh. Sawl ni Isarelnaw a pâkhueng teh Gilboa khovah a tungpup awh.
5 And Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, and he was afraid, and his heart was exceedingly terrified.
Sawl ni Filistin ransanaw a hmu toteh a taki dawkvah, puenghoi a lung thung a pâyaw.
6 And he consulted the Lord. But he did not respond to him, neither by dreams, nor by priests, nor by prophets.
Sawl ni BAWIPA a pacei navah, BAWIPA ni a mang hoi hai, Urim hoi hai, profet hoi hai pato hoeh toe.
7 And Saul said to his servants, “Seek for me a woman having a divining spirit, and I will go to her, and consult through her.” And his servants said to him, “There is a woman having a divining spirit at Endor.”
Sawl ni a sannaw koe khueyue koe pouknae kahei thai nahanlah na tawng pouh awh atipouh. A sannaw ni khenhaw! Endor kho vah khueyue napui buet touh ao kaima atipouh awh.
8 Therefore, he changed his usual appearance, and he put on other clothes. And he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night. And he said to her, “Divine for me, by your divining spirit, and raise up for me whomever I will tell you.”
Sawl teh a mei loukcalah a kamthoup teh, khohna alouke a kho teh alouke tami kahni touh hoi tangminlah hote napui koe a cei teh, na kamyawngkhai e kahrai kângue lahoi kai ni ka dei hane tami hah na kaw pouh haw atipouh.
9 And the woman said to him: “Behold, you know how much Saul has done, and how he has wiped away the magi and soothsayers from the land. Why then do you set a trap for my life, so that it will be put to death?”
Napui ni khenhaw. Sawl ni a sak e na panue. A ram thung e khueyue hoi tonghma pueng hah koung a raphoe toe. Bangkongmaw ka due nahanelah kahringnae karap na patung atipouh.
10 And Saul swore to her by the Lord, saying, “As the Lord lives, nothing evil will befall you because of this matter.”
Sawl ni BAWIPA min thoebo laihoi, BAWIPA a hring e patetlah hete hno kecu dawk maw nang dawk reknae phat mahoeh telah ahni koe lawk a kam.
11 And the woman said to him, “Whom shall I raise up for you?” And he said, “Raise up for me Samuel.”
Napui ni apimaw na kaw pouh han telah a pacei. Ahni ni Samuel na kaw pouh haw atipouh.
12 And when the woman had seen Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice, and she said to Saul: “Why have you afflicted me? For you are Saul!”
Napui ni Samuel a hmu navah kacaipounglah a hram. Napui ni Sawl koe bangkongmaw na dum. Nang teh Sawl nahoehmaw atipouh.
13 And the king said to her: “Do not be afraid. What have you seen?” And the woman said to Saul, “I saw gods ascending from the earth.”
Siangpahrang ni napui koevah, taket hanh, bangmaw na hmu atipouh. Napui ni talai thung hoi muitha buet touh a tâco e ka hmu atipouh.
14 And he said to her, “What appearance does he have?” And she said, “An old man ascends, and he is clothed in a cloak.” And Saul understood that it was Samuel. And he bowed himself upon his face on the ground, and he reverenced.
Ahni ni napui koevah Bangpatete a meilam lah maw ao atipouh. Napui ni tongpa matawng poung e a tâco teh angkidung a kho atipouh. Sawl ni Samuel doeh tie a panue teh talai dawk a tabo.
15 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disquieted me, so that I would be raised up?” And Saul said: “I am greatly distressed. For the Philistines fight against me, and God has withdrawn from me, and he is not willing to heed me, neither by the hand of prophets, nor by dreams. Therefore, I have summoned you, so that you would reveal to me what I should do.”
Hahoi Samuel ni Sawl koevah, bang kecu dawk maw kai hah runae na poe atipouh. Sawl ni ka kângai hroung a ru dawk doeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Filistinnaw ni na tuk teh Cathut ni na ceitakhai toe. Profet lahoi hai mang lahoi hai na pato hoeh toe. Hatdawkvah, ka tawk hane na ka dei pouh hanelah, na kaw e doeh atipouh.
16 And Samuel said, “Why do you question me, though the Lord has withdrawn from you, and has crossed over to your rival?
Samuel ni BAWIPA ni hnamthun takhai teh na taran lah a coung toe tie hah na panue nalaihoi bangkongmaw lawk na pacei.
17 For the Lord will do to you just as he spoke by my hand. And he will tear your kingdom from your hand. And he will give it to your neighbor David.
Kai hno lahoi lawk ouk a dei e patetlah BAWIPA ni nang dawkvah a sak toe. Uknaeram teh BAWIPA ni na kut dawk e na lawp teh na imri Devit koe roeroe a poe toe.
18 For you did not obey the voice of the Lord, and you did not carry out the wrath of his fury upon Amalek. For this reason, the Lord has done to you what you are enduring this day.
BAWIPA e lawk na ngâi hoeh dawkvah, Amaleknaw dawk puenghoi a lungkhuek e patetlah na sak hoeh kecu dawk atu nang dawk hete hno heh a pha toe.
19 And the Lord also will give Israel into the hands of the Philistines, along with you. Then tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. But the Lord will also deliver the camp of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.”
Hathloilah, BAWIPA ni nang hoi Isarelnaw hai Filistinnaw e kut dawk na poe awh han. Hahoi tangtho vah nama hoi na capa teh kai koe na o roi han. BAWIPA ni Isarel ransanaw hai Filistinnaw e kut dawk a poe awh han atipouh.
20 And immediately, Saul fell stretched out on the ground. For he was terrified by the words of Samuel. And there was no strength in him. For he had not eaten bread all that day.
Hottelah Samuel ni a dei e lawk hah Sawl ni a takipoung teh, talai dawk a rawp, a thayung khoeroe awm hoeh, karum khodai banghai catnet hoeh.
21 And so, the woman entered to Saul, (for he was very troubled) and she said to him: “Behold, your handmaid has obeyed your voice, and I have placed my life in my hand. And I have heeded the words which you spoke to me.
Napui teh Sawl koe a cei teh, kângai hroung ka ru poung lah ao e hah a panue dawkvah, khenhaw! na san ni na dei e hah ka yuem teh due hai due tihoi kai koe na dei e hah ka tarawi toe.
22 And so now, I ask you to heed the voice of your handmaid, and let me place before you a morsel of bread, so that, by eating, you may recover strength, and you may be able to undertake the journey.”
Hatdawkvah, nang ni hai na sannu ni a dei e hah tarawi van haw, bu youn touh na poe han, na ban navah na thayung bet ao nahanelah na ca han atipouh.
23 But he refused, and he said, “I will not eat.” But his servants and the woman urged him, and after some time, heeding their voice, he rose up from the ground, and he sat upon the bed.
Hateiteh, ka cat mahoeh ati. A sannaw ni napui hoi ngangngang a pasawt awh teh ahnimae lawk hah a tarawi pouh dawkvah a thaw teh ikhun dawk a tahung.
24 Now the woman had a fatted calf in the house, and she hurried and killed it. And taking meal, she kneaded it, and she baked unleavened bread.
Hahoi napui ni maitotan ka thaw poung e a tawn e hah karanglah a thei pouh teh, tavai hoi kanawk e tawn phuen hoeh e vaiyei a sak.
25 And she set it before Saul and before his servants. And when they had eaten, they rose up, and they walked all through that night.
Hottelah Sawl hoi a sannaw e a hmalah a pâtoum pouh teh a ca awh. Hahoi a thaw awh teh tangminlah a cei awh.
