1 Samuel 7
1 And the men of Kirjath-jearim came, and fetched up the ark of Jehovah, and brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill, and hallowed Eleazar his son to keep the ark of Jehovah.
Te dongah Kirathjearim hlang rhoek ha pawk uh neh BOEIPA thingkawng te a khuen uh tih som kah Abinadab im te a paan puei uh. Te vaengah a capa Eleazar te BOEIPA thingkawng aka khoem la a ciim uh.
2 And it came to pass, from the day that the ark abode in Kirjath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years. And all the house of Israel lamented after Jehovah.
Kiriathjearim ah thingkawng a ngol khohnin lamloh a kum khaw sen coeng. Tedae kum kul a lo daengah Israel imkhui pum te BOEIPA hnukah rhathi uh.
3 And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, If ye return to Jehovah with all your heart, put away the strange gods and the Ashtoreths from among you, and apply your hearts unto Jehovah, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.
Te dongah Samuel loh Israel imkhui boeih te a voek tih, “Na thinko boeih neh BOEIPA taengla na mael atah, na khui lamkah kholong pathen rhoek neh Ashtoreth te khoe uh. Na thinko te BOEIPA taengah sikim uh lamtah amah bueng ham mah thothueng uh. Nangmih te Philisti kut lamloh n'huul bitni,” a ti nah.
4 And the children of Israel put away the Baals and the Ashtoreths and served Jehovah only.
Te dongah Israel ca rhoek loh Baal neh Ashtoreth te a voeih uh tih, BOEIPA amah taeng bueng ah tho a thuenguh.
5 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray Jehovah for you.
Te dongah Samuel loh, “Israel boeih aw Mizpah ah coi uh thae lamtah nangmih yueng la BOEIPA taengah ka thangthui eh?,” a ti nah.
6 And they gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before Jehovah, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against Jehovah. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah.
Mizpah la a coi uh thae vaengah tui a than uh tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a bueih uh. Tekah khohnin dongah caak a yaeh uh tih BOEIPA taengah, “Ka tholh coeng,” a ti uh dongah Mizpah kah Israel ca rhoek te Samuel loh lai a tloek pah.
7 And the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together at Mizpah; and the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel; and the children of Israel heard [it], and were afraid of the Philistines.
Mizpah ah Israel ca rhoek a coi uh thae te Philisti loh a yaak vaengah Israel te Philisti boei rhoek loh a caeh thil uh. Israel ca rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah Philisti te a rhih uh.
8 And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry to Jehovah our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.
Te dongah Samuel te Israel ca rhoek loh, “Mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen taengah pang ham khaw kaimih he nam phah sak pawt koinih Philisti kut lamloh mamih n'khang suidae,” a ti na uh.
9 And Samuel took a sucking-lamb, and offered it as a whole burnt-offering to Jehovah; and Samuel cried to Jehovah for Israel, and Jehovah answered him.
Samuel loh suktui aka yawn tuca pakhat a loh phoeiah cet tih BOEIPA taengah hmueihhlutnah la boeih a khuen. Te phoeiah BOEIPA te Samuel loh Israel yueng la a doek hatah BOEIPA loh a doo pah.
10 And as Samuel was offering up the burnt-offering, the Philistines advanced to battle against Israel. And Jehovah thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were routed before Israel.
Samuel loh hmueihhlutnah a paan vaengah Philisti rhoek tah caemtloek la Israel taengah thoeih uh. Tedae tekah khohnin dongah Philisti te BOEIPA loh a ol ue neh rhaek bangla a daeh tih a khawkkhek dongah amih te Israel mikhmuh ah yawk uh.
11 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, as far as below Beth-car.
Te vaengah Mizpah lamkah Israel hlang rhoek te ha pawk uh tih Philisti te a hloem uh. Te dongah Phlilisti te Bethkar kungdak duela a tloek uh.
12 And Samuel took a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, and said, Hitherto Jehovah has helped us.
Te phoeiah Samuel loh lungto pakhat a loh tih Mizpah laklo neh Shane laklo ah a khueh. “Tahae duela BOEIPA loh mamih m'bom coeng,” a ti dongah lungto ming te Ebenezer la a khue.
13 And the Philistines were subdued, and came no more into the borders of Israel; and the hand of Jehovah was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
Philisti rhoek khaw kunyun uh coeng tih Israel khorhi a paan ham koep khoep uh voel pawh. Samuel tue khuiah tah Philisti khaw BOEIPA kut ah ni a om.
14 And the cities that the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and their territory did Israel deliver out of the hand of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorite.
Te dongah Israel taengkah khopuei Philisti loh a loh rhoek, Ekron lamloh Gath neh a khorhi duela Israel taengla a mael uh. Philisti kut lamloh Israel a huul dongah Israel laklo neh Amori laklo ah khaw rhoepnah om.
15 And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
Samuel a hing tue khuiah Israel te lai a tloek pah.
16 And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpah, and judged Israel in all those places.
A kum kum ah voeikhat carhil tah cet tih Bethel khaw, Gilgal khaw, Mizpah khaw a hil. Hmuen tom kah Israel te lai a tloek pah.
17 And his return was to Ramah; for there was his house, and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar to Jehovah.
Tedae Ramah la a maelnah amah im ah Israel te lai a tloek pah tih BOEIPA ham hmueihtuk pahoi a suem.
