1 Samuel 1
1 And there was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite.
Ephraim mon, Ramathaim kho dawk tami buet touh ao. A min teh Elkanah, Ephraim kho e Zuph capa, Tohu capa, Elihu capa, Jeroham capa doeh.
2 And he had two wives: the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah; and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
Ahni teh a yu kahni touh a tawn, buet touh e min teh Hannah, buet touh e teh Peninnah, Peninnah teh a ca a tawn, Hannah teh ca tawn hoeh.
3 And this man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to Jehovah of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of Jehovah, were there.
Elkanah teh ransahu BAWIPA bawk hane hoi thueng hanelah amae kho hoi Shiloh kho kumtangkuem ouk a cei. Hote kho dawk Eli e capa roi Hophni hoi Phinehas teh Bawipa e vaihma lah ao roi.
4 And it came to pass on the day that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and her daughters portions;
Thuengnae tueng a pha navah Elkanah ni a yu Peninnah hoi a canaw e ham a rei.
5 but to Hannah he used to give a double portion, for he loved Hannah; but Jehovah had shut up her womb.
Hatei Hannah teh coe hane let hni touh a poe. Bawipa ni Hannah ca khe hane kâ poe hoeh ei Hannah a pahren dawk a poe.
6 And her adversary provoked her much also, to make her fret, because Jehovah had shut up her womb.
Bawipa ni Hannah hah ca khenae a poe hoeh dawkvah, Hannah hoi kâpo hoeh e napui ni, Hannah a lungmathoe nahanelah voutsout a sak.
7 And [as] he did so year by year, as often as she went up to the house of Jehovah, she provoked her thus; and she wept and did not eat.
Hottelah kumtangkuem, Bawipa im a cei navah, lungmathoenae a poe, a khuika teh bu hai cat laipalah Hannah teh ao.
8 And Elkanah her husband said to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? Am not I better to thee than ten sons?
A vâ Elkanah ni Hannah bangkongmaw bu na ca hoeh. Bangkongmaw na lung a mathoe. Capa hra touh hlak nang hanelah kahawi nahoehmaw telah atipouh.
9 And Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk; (now Eli the priest sat upon the seat by the door-post of the temple of Jehovah; )
Shiloh kho vah a canei awh hnukkhu vaihma teh BAWIPA e bawkim longkha koe a tahung navah,
10 and she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to Jehovah, and wept much.
Hannah a thaw teh, lungthin ka rek lah khuika laihoi BAWIPA koe a ratoum.
11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O Jehovah of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thy handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thy handmaid, but wilt give unto thy handmaid a man child, then I will give him to Jehovah all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.
Hannah ni ransahu BAWIPA, nange sannu e rucatnae na hmu teh kai na pahnim hanh. Na sannu pou na pouk lah, capa na poe pawiteh hote capa teh a hring nathung BAWIPA koe ka poe han. A sam hai ka ngaw pouh mahoeh telah lawkkamnae a sak.
12 And it came to pass as she continued praying before Jehovah, that Eli marked her mouth.
Hannah teh, BAWIPA hmalah pou a ratoum nah Eli ni apâhni a khet pouh.
13 Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard; and Eli thought she was drunken.
Hannah ni a lungthung hoi a ratoum. A pahni dueng a kâroe teh a lawk a thai hoeh dawkvah, yamu a parui telah Eli ni a pouk.
14 And Eli said to her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.
Nâsittouh maw na parui lahoi na o han. Misurtui hah takhoe leih telah atipouh.
15 And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before Jehovah.
Hannah ni nahoeh bawipa, lungmathoenae hoi kaawm e doeh. Misur thoseh, yamu thoseh ka net hoeh. BAWIPA hmalah kahringnae ka rabawk e doeh.
16 Take not thy handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my grief and provocation have I spoken hitherto.
Na sannu tami kahawihoehe lah pouk hanh. Ka phuenang laihoi atu sittouh ka hei telah bout a dei navah,
17 And Eli answered and said, Go in peace; and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition which thou hast asked of him.
Eli ni karoumcalah cet haw, BAWIPA koe na hei e teh, Isarel miphun e Cathut ni na poe lawiseh telah atipouh.
18 And she said, Let thy bondwoman find grace in thy sight. And the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more [as before].
Hannah ni hai na sannu kai teh, na minhmai kahawi kahmawt naseh telah a dei hnukkhu, a minhmai kapan lahoi a cei teh bu a ca toe.
19 And they rose up early in the morning and worshipped before Jehovah, and returned and came to their house at Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and Jehovah remembered her.
Ahnimouh teh amom a thaw awh teh, BAWIPA a bawk awh teh Ramah kho amamouh im vah a pha awh. ELkanah teh a yu Hannah hoi a kâpanue roi teh BAWIPA ni Hannah teh pahnim hoeh.
20 And it came to pass when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bore a son, and called his name Samuel, [saying, ] Because I have asked him of Jehovah.
Hannah ni camo a von teh atueng akuep navah ca tongpa a khe. Hete ca teh BAWIPA koe ratoum lahoi hmu e lah ao dawkvah, Samuel telah a min a phung.
21 And Elkanah her husband, and all his house, went up to sacrifice to Jehovah the yearly sacrifice and his vow.
Elkanah hoi a imthungnaw teh BAWIPA koe kumtangkuem ouk a sak awh e thueng hanelah lawk a kam e kuep sak hanelah a cei.
22 But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, [I will wait] until the child is weaned; then will I bring him, that he may appear before Jehovah, and there abide for ever.
Hannah ni a vâ koe, camo sanu a kamphei torei doeh BAWIPA hmalah, ka ceikhai vaiteh BAWIPA koe pou ao han toe telah atipouh.
23 And Elkanah her husband said to her, Do what is good in thy sight: abide until thou hast weaned him; only, may Jehovah fulfil his word. And the woman abode, and gave her son suck until she weaned him.
A vâ Elkanah ni ahawi na tie patetlah sak lawih. Camo sanu na pâphei totouh awm lawih. BAWIPA e lawkkam mah kuep sak telah atipouh. Hatdawkvah Hannah ni a ca sanu a pânei teh sanu pâphei totouh a im vah ao.
24 And she took him up with her when she had weaned him, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a flask of wine, and brought him to the house of Jehovah to Shiloh; and the boy was young.
A ca sanu a pâphei hnukkhu kum thum touh e maitotan buet touh, tavai kawlung buet touh, misurtui um touh hoi a ca hah a ceikhai, camo a nawca rah eiteh, Shiloh e BAWIPA e im dawk a ceikhai.
25 And they slaughtered the bullock, and brought the boy to Eli.
Maito a thei hnukkhu camo hah Eli koe a thokhai.
26 And she said, Oh my lord, [as] thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here to pray to Jehovah.
Hannah ni oe ka bawipa nang na hring e patetlah kai teh yampa vah hete hmuen koe nang koevah, ka kangdue lahoi BAWIPA koe ouk ka ratoum e napui kai hah doeh.
27 For this boy I prayed; and Jehovah has granted me my petition which I asked of him.
Hete camo ka hmu thai nahan ka ratoum teh ka hei e patetlah Bawipa ni na poe toe.
28 And also I have lent him to Jehovah: all the days that he lives, he is lent to Jehovah. And he worshipped Jehovah there.
Hatdawkvah, kai ni BAWIPA koe ka hnawng toe a hring nathung BAWIPA koe hnawng e lah ao toe, a titeh hote hmuen koe BAWIPA hah a bawk.
