< 1 Samuel 15 >

1 And Samuel said to Saul: The Lord sent me to anoint thee king over his People Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the Lord:
Samuel ni Sawl koe BAWIPA ni nang teh na taminaw lathueng Isarelnaw lathueng siangpahrang hanelah satui awi hane na patoun, hatdawkvah atu BAWIPA e lawk ngâi haw.
2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I have reckoned up all that Amalec hath done to Israel: I how he opposed them in the way when they came up out of Egypt.
Kalvan ransabawi ni hettelah a dei. Izip ram hoi na tâco awh navah lamlak vah Amaleknaw ni Isarelnaw a ngang awh dawkvah, kai ni ahnimanaw hai ka pathung han.
3 Now therefore go, and smite Amalec, and utterly destroy all that he hath: spare him not, nor covet any thing that is his: but slay both man and woman, child and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
Atuvah cet nateh Amaleknaw hah tuk haw. Ahnimouh ni a tawn awh e pueng he raphoe. Buet touh hai hlung hanh. Napui, tongpa, camo, sanu ka net lahun e, maito, tu, kalauk hoi la pueng koung na thei han atipouh.
4 So Saul commanded the people, and numbered them as lambs: two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand of the men of Juda.
Sawl ni taminaw a pâkhueng teh, Telaim vah a touk. Ransanaw 200, 000 touh hoi Judah tami 10, 000 touh a pha.
5 And when Saul was come to the city of Amalec, he laid ambushes in the torrent.
Sawl teh Amalek khopui vah a pha teh, tanghling dawk hoi a pawp.
6 And Saul said to the Cinite: Go, depart and get ye down from Amalec: lest I destroy thee with him. For thou hast shewn kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. And the Cinite departed from the midst of Amalec.
Sawl ni Ken taminaw koe, tâcawt awh haw. Amalek taminaw koehoi aloukcalah awm awh. Hottelah hoehpawiteh hmai na thet awh payon vaih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarelnaw Izip ram hoi ka tâcawt e pueng na pahren awh, telah ati. Ken taminaw teh Amaleknaw koehoi a tâco awh.
7 And Saul smote Amalec from Hevila, until thou comest to Sur, which is over against Egypt.
Sawl ni Amaleknaw teh Havilah hoi Izip kanîtholah kaawm e Shur kho totouh a thei awh.
8 And he took Agag the king of Amalec alive: but all the common people he slew with the edge of the sword.
Amalek siangpahrang Agag hai a hring lah a hlung awh teh, a man e pueng tahloi hoi be a thei.
9 And Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the flocks of sheep and of the herds, and the garments and the rams, and all that was beautiful, and would not destroy them: but every thing that was vile and good for nothing, that they destroyed.
Hatei Sawl hoi taminaw ni Agag teh a hlung awh teh, tu kahawi e maito kahawi e kathâw e tuca kathâwnaw hoi kahawi e pueng thei han ngai awh hoeh. Ka cungkeihoeh e, hnephnap e naw teh he a thei awh.
10 And the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying:
BAWIPA e lawk Samuel koe a pha teh,
11 It repenteth me that I have made Saul king: for he hath forsaken me, and hath not executed my commandments. And Samuel was grieved, and he cried unto the Lord all night.
Sawl siangpahrang lah ka tawn e pan ka kângai. Ahni teh kaie ka hnuk a kâbangnae koehoi bout a kamlang toe. Kaie kâpoelawknaw hah tawk hoeh toe telah ati teh Samuel ni a lungkhuek teh BAWIPA koe a lungmathoe laihoi karum khodai a hram.
12 And when Samuel rose early, to go to Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, that Saul was come to Carmel, and had erected for himself a triumphant arch, and returning had passed on, and gone down to Galgal. And Samuel came to Saul, and Saul was offering a holocaust to the Lord out of the choicest of the spoils which he had brought from Amalec.
Samuel ni Sawl kâhmo hanelah amom a thaw navah, Sawl teh Karmel kho lah a cei, haw vah pahnim hoeh nahan talung a ung hnukkhu bout a ban. Pou a cei teh Gilgal kho lah pou a ceicathuk telah Samuel koe a dei pouh awh.
13 And when Samuel was come to Saul, Saul said to him: Blessed be thou of the Lord, I have fulfilled the word of the Lord.
Samuel Sawl koe a cei teh Sawl ni BAWIPA ni yawhawi na poe e lah na o. BAWIPA e kâpoelawk pueng be ka tarawi telah a ti.
14 And Samuel said: What meaneth then this bleating of the flocks, which soundeth in my ears, and the lowing of the herds, which I hear?
Samuel ni hah pawiteh kaie ka hnâ dawk hram pawlawk ka thai e maito parawng lawk hah teh bangtelah atipouh.
15 And Saul said: They have brought them from Amalec: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the herds that they might be sacrificed to the Lord thy God, but the rest we have slain.
Sawl ni Amaleknaw koe e hetnaw ka la toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh BAWIPA na Cathut koehoi thuengnae sak nahanelah taminaw ni tu kahawi maito kahawi kahawi a pâhlung awh e doeh, alouknaw teh koung ka thei awh telah a ti.
16 And Samuel said to Saul: Suffer me, and I will tell thee what the Lord hath said to me this night. And he said to him: Speak.
Samuel ni Sawl koevah awm ei, paduem tangmin BAWIPA ni kai koe a dei e na dei pouh han atipouh, Sawl ni dei haw atipouh.
17 And Samuel said: When thou wast a little one in thy own eyes, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel? And the Lord anointed thee to be king over Israel.
Samuel ni nange na hmunae lah tami ka thoungca nakunghai, Isarel miphunnaw e lû lah na awm hoeh namaw. Isarel siangpahrang lah BAWIPA ni satui na awi e nahoehmaw.
18 And the Lord sent thee on the way, and said: Go, and kill the sinners of Amalec, and thou shalt fight against them until thou hast utterly destroyed them.
BAWIPA ni na patoun teh, cet nateh tamikayon Amaleknaw hah be thet lawih, he kahma hoehroukrak thet lawih telah ati nahoehmaw.
19 Why then didst thou not hearken to the voice of the Lord: but hast turned to the prey, and hast done evil in the eyes of the Lord.
Bangkongmaw BAWIPA e lawk na ngâi laipalah hnopai na lawp teh BAWIPA mithmu hno kahawihoeh na sak telah atipouh.
20 And Saul said to Samuel: Yea I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord, and have walked in the way by which the Lord sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalec, and Amalec I have slain.
Sawl ni Samuel koevah BAWIPA e lawk atangcalah ka tarawi toe. BAWIPA ni na patoun e thaw ka tawk teh Amalek siangpahrang Agag ka thokhai teh, Amalek taminaw he ka pâmit.
21 But the people took of the spoils sheep and oxen, as the firstfruits of those things that were slain, to offer sacrifice to the Lord their God in Galgal.
Taminaw ni BAWIPA na Cathut Koe gilgal kho dawk thueng nahane lawp e hno thung dawk hoi maito, tunaw kahawipoung e ka la toe telah a dei.
22 And Samuel said: Doth the Lord desire holocausts and victims, and not rather that the voice of the Lord should be obeyed? For obedience is better than sacrifices: and to hearken rather than to offer the fat of rams.
Samuel ni BAWIPA lawkngainae dawk a lunghawi e patetlah hmaisawi thuengnae dawk a lunghawi han na ou, thai haw lawkngainae teh thuengnae hlak ahawihnawn. Tarawinae teh tu kathâw hlak hoe ahawihnawn.
23 Because it is like the sin of witchcraft, to rebel: and like the crime of idolatry, to refuse to obey. Forasmuch therefore as thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, the Lord hath also rejected thee from being king.
Lawkeknae teh taân sin e patetlah thoseh, lungpatanae teh meikaphawk bawknae patetlah thoseh yonnae kalenpounge doeh. BAWIPA e lawk na pahnawt dawkvah, BAWIPA ni hai siangpahrang lah na onae koehoi na pahnawt toe telah atipouh.
24 And Saul said to Samuel: I have sinned because I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and thy words, fearing the people, and obeying their voice.
Sawl ni Samuel koevah yonnae ka sak katang toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA kâpoelawk hai ka ek toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tamimaya ka taki dawkvah a lawk ka ngâi pouh toe.
25 But now bear, I beseech thee, my sin, and return with me, that I may adore the Lord.
Hatdawkvah na pahren nateh ka yonnae ngaithoum haw, BAWIPA ka bawk thai nahanlah bout na bankhai loe atipouh.
26 And Samuel said to Saul: I will not return with thee, because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.
Hatei Samuel ni Sawl koevah, na bankhai mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e lawk na pahnawt toe. BAWIPA ni hai Isarel siangpahrang dawk hoi na pahnawt toe atipouh.
27 And Samuel turned about to go away: but he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
Samuel a cei hane a kamlang navah, Sawl ni a hni a kuet pouh teh a pawi a kâphi.
28 And Samuel said to him: The Lord hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to thy neighbour who is better than thee.
Samuel ni sahnin vah nang koehoi BAWIPA ni Isarel uknaeram a ravei toe. Nang hlak kahawi e na imri hah a poe toe.
29 But the triumpher in Israel will riot spare, and will not be moved to repentance: for he is not a mail that he should repent.
Isarel miphun e pou kacakpounge BAWIPA teh a laithout hoeh. A lung hai kâthung hoeh a lungkâthung e tami patet nahoeh telah a ti.
30 Then he said: I have sinned: yet honour me now before the ancients of my people, and before Israel, and return with me, that I may adore the Lord thy God.
Sawl ni ka yon toe. Hateiteh pahren lahoi ka tami kacuenaw e hmalah hoi Isarel hmalah atu barinae na poe haw, BAWIPA na Cathut ka bawk thai nahan na bankhai haw, hottelah a kâhei.
31 So Samuel turned again after Saul: and Saul adored the Lord.
Samuel ni Sawl a bankhai teh Sawl ni BAWIPA a bawk.
32 And Samuel said: Bring hitherto me Agag the king of Amalec. And Agag was presented to him very fat, and trembling. And Agag said: Doth bitter death separate in this manner?
Samuel ni Amalek siangpahrang Agag teh kai koe thokhai awh haw telah ati. Hatnavah Agag teh kâhruetcuet lahoi a cei. Agag ni duenae kakhat e teh ka tapoung toe a ti.
33 And Samuel said: As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed him in pieces before the Lord in Galgal.
Hatei Samuel ni na tahloi ni napuinaw ca sak apout sak e patetlah na manu hai napui thung dawk ca ka tawn hoeh e lah ao van han telah ati. Samuel ni Agag hah Gilgal vah BAWIPA hmalah tawntarawn lah a tâtueng.
34 And Samuel departed to Ramatha: but Saul went up to his house in Gabaa.
Samuel teh Ramah kho vah a cei teh Sawl teh, Gibeah kho ama im vah a cei takhang.
35 And Samuel saw Saul no more till the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul, because the Lord repented that he had made him king over Israel.
Sawl a due totouh Samuel ni bout hloe hoeh toe. Hatei Samuel ni Sawl kong dawk a lungmathoe. BAWIPA teh Isarel siangpahrang lah Sawl a rawi e pan a kângai.
