1 Samuel 3
1 Now the child Samuel ministered to the Lord before Heli, and the word of the Lord was precious in those days, there was no manifest vision.
Hitichun, Chapangpa Samuel chun Eli thempu noiya lhacha na atong jing in ahi. Hiche nikho phatlai chun Pakaiya kona thu hung kiphong chu ahahlheh jeng tai, chule themgao mu nei’ah a jongaum vah vah tapon ahi.
2 And it came to pass one day when Heli lay in his place, and his eyes were grown dim, that he could not see:
Eli thempu in kho amuthei beh talou ahin, jankhat hi alupna ah aimutan ahi chule Samuel jong chu aimutan ahi.
3 Before the lamp of God went out, Samuel slept in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was.
Pathen thaomei kide jong chu kisumit loulai ahin, Samuel vang chu ponbuh sunga aimutan ahi. Alupna chu Pathen thingkong komtah ahi.
4 And the Lord called Samuel. And he answered: Here am I.
Photlot louvin Pakaiyin, “Samuel” tin ahin koutan ahile, “Hoiyo, Ipi thu hitam?” tin ana donbut in ahi.
5 And he ran to Heli and said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. He said: I did not call: go back and sleep. And he went and slept.
Ama athoudoh in Eli komlang ah alhaiyin, “Hiche ah kaume neikouvem?” aga tin ahile, Eli thempu jong, “Kakoupoi, nalupna ah chekit tan,” tin adonbut’in ahile amajong achekit tai.
6 And the Lord called Samuel again. And Samuel arose and went to Heli, and said: Here am I: for thou calledst me. He answered: I did not call thee, my son: return and sleep.
Hichun Pakaiyin Samuel chu, “Samuel” tin ahin koukittai. Samuel jong athoudoh kit in Eli koma achekit in, “Hiche ah kaume neikouvem?” agatin ahi. Eli in jong hitin asei kit in, “Chapa kakoupoi, nalupna che kittan,” ati.
7 Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, neither had the word of the Lord been revealed to him.
Samuel in Pakai ahi ding chu ahetlou ahi ajeh chu hitobang Pakai kouna chu anajah khah loulai ahi.
8 And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose up and went to Heli.
Chuin Pakaiyin thumvei channan ahinkou kit in, Samuel athou doh in Eli thempu chu aga dong kit in, “Hiche ah kaume neikou vem?” ati. Chuin Eli in Pakai kouna ahiding kichen tah in ahetai.
9 And said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. Then Heli understood that the Lord called the child, and he said to Samuel: Go, and sleep: and if he shall call thee any more, thou shalt say: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and slept in his place.
Chuin Samuel jah ah hitin aseipeh in, “Galum kit inlang, ijem tia nahung kikou kit’a ahileh, ‘Pakai seijin nalhachapa keiman kangaiye’” tin aseipeh tai, hichun Samuel jong ajalkhun lam ah akile kittai.
10 And the Lord came and stood: and he called, as he had called the other times: Samuel, Samuel. And Samuel said: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth.
Chule Samuel henga Pakai ahung in, “Samuel! Samuel!” tin akouvin ahile, Samuel in, “Seijin nalhacha pa keiman kangaiye,” tin adonbut tan ahi.
11 And the Lord said to Samuel: Behold I do a thing in Israel: and whosoever shall hear it, both his ears shall tingle.
Chuin Pakaiyin Samuel koma, “Ven keiman Israel sunga thil khat kabol ding, ahin hichun aja jouse nakhang asut ding ahi.
12 In that day I will raise up against Heli all the things I have spoken concerning his house: I will begin, and I will make an end.
Hiche nikho chule Eli insung douna a kasei jouse chu abulla kipat’a achaina geiya kaguilhun sah soh kei ding ahi.
13 For I have foretold unto him, that I will judge his house for ever, for iniquity, because he knew that his sons did wickedly, and did not chastise them.
Keiman thutan nahi amale ainsung mite chunga thu katan ding ahi, tithu thu kapeh ahitai, hichu aimatih chana ding ahi, ajeh chu acha tenin Pathen ataitom lhon in, chule aman jong gihsalna aneipon ahi.
14 Therefore have I sworn to the house of Heli, that the iniquity of his house shall not be expiated with victims nor offerings for ever.
Hijeh chun keiman Eli le achateni chonsetna chu kangaidam lou ding, kilhai nale pumgo thilto ho a kisucham joulou ding ahitai,” ati.
15 And Samuel slept till morning, and opened the doors of the house of the Lord. And Samuel feared to tell the vision to Heli.
Samuel alupna ah jingkah changeiyin aumdentai, Chuin ponbuh sunga konin ahung thoudoh in kot ahin hongdoh in, athujah ho seidoh ding akicha behseh in ahi. Pakai thusei chengho seidoh ding chu hahsa asa lheh in ahi.
16 Then Heli called Samuel, and said: Samuel, my son. And he answered: Here am I.
Ahinlah Eli in akouvin, “Kacha Samuel,” tia agah kouleh, “Kei hicheah kaumnai,” tin Samuel in adonbut in ahi.
17 And he asked him: What is the word that the Lord hath spoken to thee? I beseech thee hide it not from me. May God do so and so to thee, and add so and so, if thou hide from me one word of all that were said to thee.
“Pakaiyin nakoma ipi asei em? Abonchan imchah umlouvin neiseipeh in, ijem tia naim a naseidoh louva ahile Pathen mi jepna lePathen a kona thina nachunga chu mai tahen,” ati.
18 So Samuel told him all the words, and did not hide them from him. And he answered: It is the Lord: let him do what is good in his sight.
Chuin Samuel in Eli koma abonchan aseipeh sohkei tai, imacha aseidoh lou aumtapoi. Hichun Eli thempun jong, “Hiche hi Pathen phatsah ahi,” tin aphongdoh in ahi.
19 And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and not one of his words fell to the ground.
Samuel ahung khandoh toh lhon in Pakai in aumpin ahi. Chule thil ijakai Samuel in asei jouse aguilhung sohkei in ahi.
20 And all Israel from Dan to Bersabee, knew that Samuel was a faithful prophet of the Lord.
Chule Israel mipite jouse, Dan a kipat chunglam Beersheba chengeijin ahen, Samuel Pathen themgao ahitai ti suhdet ahitai.
21 And the Lord again appeared in Silo, for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Silo, according to the word of the Lord. And the word of Samuel came to pass to all Israel.
Pakai Pathen jong Shiloh mun ah akilah jing jeng in, Ponbuh sungah Samuel themgao komah thu alhut in, chule Samuel in Israel mipi te lah a ale lhut kit jin ahi.
