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.
Chuin Samuel chun Israel pumpi jah ding in thu aseiyin, “Veuvin kahenga nasei jouseu kangaiyin, nachung uva vaihom ding leng khat jong kasempeh tauve.
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.
Naleng’u hi tun nalamkai-u jong ahitai, namasang laitah uva kadinge, kumtam tehse samkang kahitai. Kachapate to nakiloi diu ahi. Kachapan laiya kipan in tuni chengeijin nalamkaiyun kahung pang in ahi.
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.
Tun hikoma ka-ume, koi bongchal ahiloule koi sangan kalahpeh umkha em? Koi kalheplhah umkha em? Koi kasuhgenthei umkha em? Koi koma sumguh tholla kalahpeh umkha em? Pakai le athao nupa ang’ah kachung chang thu hettohsah pumin nei seipeh un, kana suhkhel aum jongleh tun sudih inge,” ati.
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.
Mipin adonbut’un, “Aumpoi, nangman nei joulhep kha pouve, nangman keihoa kon in thil neocha jeng jong nalapoi,” atiuve.
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!
“Pakai le athaonu pa hi tunia na angsung laitah uva ahetoh ahi, kanung thu atheng’e” tin Samuel aphongdoh in ahi. Chuin mipin, “Henge amahi ahetoh ahi,” tin adonbut uve.
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.
Samuel in abanjom ding, “Aaron le Mose anagong jong chu Pathen ahi, napu napateu Egypt a kona ahin puidohpa chu Ama chu ahi,” ati.
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.
“Hijeh chun, tun nangho le napu napateu chunga Pakai thilkidang nasatah tah abol chengse geldoh sah u bang chun Pakai masanga nangho dingdet un,” ati.
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.
“Israel mite Egypt a aumlaiyun, Pakai henga akapun ahile, Aman Mose le Aaron Israelte chu Egypt gam'a konin ahin puidoh sah lhonin, hiche gam'a ahin lhut lhontai.
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.
Ahivangin mipiten hetman louvin Pakai a Pathen-u asumil’un, aman Sisera, Hazor khopia sepai janel gal lamkai khut le Philistine te khut’a chule Moab lengpa khut’a apeh doh in ahi.
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.
Chuin amaho Pakai henga akap’un, keihon Pakai kadalhau vin Baal lim le Ashtoreth kahou jeh un kachonse taove, ahinlah tun kamelmateu khut’a konin neihuhdoh uvin, chutileh nangma kajhou diu ahi atiuve.
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.
Chutengle, Pakaiyin Gideon, Bedan, Jephthah chule Samuel asol in muntina namel mate hou khut’a konin neihuhdoh’un lungmong in acheng tauvin ahi.
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.
“Pakai na Pathen-u chu nalengpao ahilaiyin, Ammon chate lengpa Nahash nangho douna-a ahung namu phat un, nanghon kahenga, ahipoi, leng khat in kachunguva vai ahomding ahibouve natiuve,
13 And now behold, the king whom ye have chosen, whom ye have asked for! and behold, Jehovah has set a king over you.
Tun veuvin, nanghon nalhen ule na ngaichat’u lengpa chu hikoma aume chule veuvin, Pakaiyin nachunguva leng khat atungtai.
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.
Tun Pakai nagin uva chule nahou uva, chule athusei chu na ngai uva, nadoudal loubeh uva ahileh nangho le na lengpau vin Pakai chu Pathen ahi ti avetsah na ahitai.
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.
Ahinlah Pakai thusei chu nadoudal vang uleh, chule na ngaipeh lou uva ahivangle, akhut nachunguva gihsa ding, nangle namite chunga chu ding.
16 Now therefore stand and see this great thing which Jehovah will do before your eyes.
Pakaiyin, thil lentah tah abol ding ho, tun dingdoh uvin lang ven,” ati.
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.
“Nanghon naheuve, tuphat hi suhlou chang at-lai ahin go ajuji pon ahi, ahin tao leng Pakaiyin van kithinsah in tin go ju ding ahi. Hiteng chule Pakai koma leng nathumu chu Ama douna melse tah a chonse nahiu kihet tauvin nate,” ati.
18 And Samuel called to Jehovah; and Jehovah sent thunder and rain that day. And all the people greatly feared Jehovah and Samuel.
Chuin Samuel in Pakai akouvin ahile, hiche nikho chun Pakaiyin vanginle keh ahin sol’in, hiti chun mipi chun Pakai le Samuel aging tauvin ahi.
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.
Mijouse chun Samuel hengah, “Pakai henga neitaopeh un, achuti louva ahileh kathigam diu ahi,” atiuve. “Tua hi leng ithum jeh uva chonset ikiholbe’u ahitai,” atiuve.
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;
Hichun Samuel in, “Kichahih uvin, nabol khel’u ahitai, ahinlah Pathen phaten dihtah in hou-uvin nalungthim pumpin houvun, chule kinungle kit bol hih’un,” atin ahi.
21 and turn ye not aside; for [it would be] after vain things which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.
“Nungchon hih beh’un, nungchon a milim pao theilou hochun napanpi louhel diu ahi, hiho chu pannabei jeng ahiuve.
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.
Pakaiyin amite itih hijongle adalhah louhel ding ahi, ajeh chu adalhah'a ahile ama amin lentah chu asuhminset ding ahi. Hijeh chun Pakaiyin nangho amite dia agot hi ama lunglhaina ahi,” ati.
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.
“Keima vang, nangho ding’a taopeh hi ka ngah’a, hichu Pakai douna-a kachonset louhel ding ahi. Chule thilpha le thildih nabol jing diuhi nangma kahil jing ding ahi.
24 Only, fear Jehovah, and serve him in truth, with all your heart; for see how great things he has done for you.
Ahinlah hiche hi naboltei diu ahi, Pakai chu ging’un chule tahsan umtah in jen’un, chule nangho ding’a thilkidang abol jouse chu geldoh jing’un.
25 But if ye do wickedly, ye shall perish, both ye and your king.
Ahinlah nachonset jom jing uva ahileh, nangho le nalengpau kisumang ding ahi,” ati.
