1 Samuel 12
1 And Samuel said to all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened to your voice in all that ye said to me, and have made 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 walks before you; and I am old and grey-headed; and behold, my sons are with you; and I have walked before you from my youth up 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 Here I am: testify against me before Jehovah, and before his anointed. Whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I injured? or of whose hand have I received any ransom and blinded mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it 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, Thou hast not defrauded us, and thou hast not injured us, neither hast thou taken aught of any man'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 he said to them, Jehovah is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found aught in my hand! And [the people] 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 said to the people, [It is] Jehovah who appointed Moses and Aaron, and who brought your fathers up out of the land 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, that I may plead with you before Jehovah of all the righteous acts of Jehovah which he did to you and to 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 had come into Egypt, and your fathers cried to Jehovah, then Jehovah sent Moses and Aaron, and they brought your fathers forth out of Egypt, and made them 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 Jehovah their God, and he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against 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 Jehovah and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken Jehovah, and have served the Baals and the Ashtoreths; and now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.
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 Jehovah sent Jerubbaal and Bedan and Jephthah and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies round about, so that ye dwelt in safety.
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 But when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said to me, Nay, but a king shall reign over us; when Jehovah your God was your 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 ye have chosen, whom ye have asked for! and behold, Jehovah 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 ye fear Jehovah, and serve him, and hearken to his voice, and rebel not against the commandment of Jehovah, then both ye and the king also that reigns over you shall continue following Jehovah your God.
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 ye will not hearken to the voice of Jehovah, and if ye rebel against the commandment of Jehovah, then will the hand of Jehovah be against you, as against your fathers.
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 Now therefore stand and see this great thing which Jehovah 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 to-day? I will call unto Jehovah, and he will send thunder and rain; and ye shall perceive and see that your wickedness is great which ye have done in the sight of Jehovah in asking 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 to Jehovah; and Jehovah sent thunder and rain that day. And all the people greatly feared Jehovah 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 to Jehovah thy God for thy servants, that we die not; for we have added to all our sins the wickedness to ask for ourselves 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: ye have done all this wickedness; yet turn not aside from following Jehovah, and serve Jehovah 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 ye not aside; for [it would be] after vain things which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.
Hinghong hnukah taengphael uh boeh. Amih tah hinghong tih n'hoeikhang sak mahpawh, n'huul mahpawh.
22 For Jehovah will not cast away his people for his great name's sake; because it has pleased Jehovah to make you his 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 Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against Jehovah in ceasing to pray for you; and I will teach you the good and 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 Jehovah, and serve him in truth, with all your heart; for see how great things he has done for 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 ye do wickedly, ye shall perish, both ye and your king.
Tedae na thae la na thae uh van atah namamih khaw na manghai neh na khoengvoep uh bitni,” a ti nah.
