1 Samuel 4
1 And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight: and Israel went out to war against the Philistines, and camped by the Stone of help. And the Philistines came to Aphec,
Isarel miphun pueng koevah Samuel ni a dei e lawk a kamthang. Isarelnaw ni Filistinnaw tuk hanelah a cei awh teh, Ebenezer kho teng a roe awh teh, Filistinnaw Aphek kho vah a tungpup awh.
2 And put their army in array against Israel. And when they had joined battle, Israel turned their backs to the Philistines, and there was slain in that fight here and there in the fields about four thousand men.
Filistin taminaw teh Isarel miphunnaw kâtuknae a pataw poung dawk Isarelnaw a sung awh teh ransa 4,000 tabang hane a due.
3 And the people returned to the camp: and the ancients of Israel said: Why hath the Lord defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us fetch unto us the ark of the covenant of the Lord from Silo, and let it come in the midst of us, that it may save us from the hand of our enemies.
Ransanaw teh pupim koe a pha awh toteh Isarel kacuenaw ni, bangkongmaw sahnin vah Filistin hmalah BAWIPA ni na sung sak awh vaw. Shiloh kho hoiyah BAWIPA e lawkkam thingkong hah kai koe thokhai awh. Hattorei doeh tarannaw e kut dawk hoi kai ni na rungngang awh han.
4 So the people sent to Silo, and they brought from thence the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts sitting upon the cherubims: and the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were with the ark of the covenant of God.
Shiloh khovah tami a patoun awh teh Cherubim van ka tahung e ransahu BAWIPA e lawkkam thingkong a thokhai awh. Eli capa kahni touh: Hophni hoi Phinehas hoi Cathut lawkkam thingkong koe ao roi van.
5 And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord was come into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, and the earth rang again.
BAWIPA e lawkkam thingkong teh pupim hmuen koe a pha toteh, Isarel tami pueng teh puenghoi talai ka tuen lah a hram awh.
6 And the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, and they said: What is this noise of a great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp.
Filistin miphunnaw ni a hram e lawk a thai awh navah Hebrunaw e roenae pupim koe hramnae pawlawk bangtelane telah a pacei awh. BAWIPA e thingkong pupim koe a tho tie a panue awh navah,
7 And the Philistines were afraid, saying: God is come into the camp. And sighing, they said:
Cathut teh pupim rim koe pha toe telah a dei awh teh, Filistin miphunnaw ni a taki awh. Maimouh yawthoe awh toe, het patetlah vai touh hai awm boihoeh.
8 Woe to us: for there was no such great joy yesterday and the day before: Woe to us. Who shall deliver us from the hand of these high gods? these are the gods that struck Egypt with all the plagues in the desert.
Maimouh yawthoe awh toe. Apinimaw maimouh teh thakaawme cathutnaw kut dawk hoi na rungngang han vai. Izip miphunnaw kahrawng vah runae aphunphun hoi ka thet e teh hete cathutnaw doeh ati awh.
9 Take courage and behave like men, ye Philistines: lest you come to be servants to the Hebrews, as they have served you: take courage and fight.
Filistinnaw na tha kâlat awh, tongpa katang lah awm awh. Hottelah nahoeh pawiteh nangmouh dawk Hebrunaw san lah ao e patetlah nangmouh hai ahnimouh koe san lah na o awh han. Hatdawkvah, tongpatang lah awm awh nateh tuk awh.
10 So the Philistines fought, and Israel was overthrown, and every man fled to his own dwelling: and there was an exceeding great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
Filistinnaw ni a tuk awh navah Isarel miphunnaw a sung awh teh amamae rim dawk lengkaleng a yawng awh. Kâtheikârawngnae a pataw poung dawk Isarel ransa 30000 touh a due.
11 And the ark of God was taken: and the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were slain.
BAWIPA e thingkong a lawp awh teh Eli capa Hophni hoi Phinehas hai a thei awh.
12 And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Silo the same day, with his clothes rent, and his head strewed with dust.
Hat hnin navah Benjamin phun buet touh taran hmuen koehoi a yawng teh Shiloh kho a pha. Ahni a ravei teh a lû dawk vaiphu a kâphuen teh,
13 And when he was come, Heli sat upon a stool over against the way watching. For his heart was fearful for the ark of God. And when the man was come into the city, he told it: and all the city cried out.
a pha navah Eli ni BAWIPA e thingkong hanelah a lungtâsue teh, lam teng tungkhung dawk hoi a khet. Ahni ni khopui a pha teh akongnaw a dei navah kho abuemlahoi a khuika awh.
14 And Heli heard the noise of the cry, and he said: What meaneth the noise of this uproar? But he made haste, and came, and told Heli.
Eli ni a khuikanae a thai toteh, hramkinae pawlawk bang nama telah a pacei navah, hote tami teh karang poung lah a cei teh Eli koe a dei.
15 Now Heli was ninety and eight years old, and his eyes were dim, and he could not see.
Eli teh kum 98 a pha toung dawkvah a mit hmawt thai hoeh toe.
16 And he said to Heli: I am he that came from the battle, and have fled out of the field this day. And he said to him: What is there done, my son?
Hote tami ni Eli koe kâtuknae koehoi ka tho e doeh. Sahnin taranum hoi ka yawng e doeh telah ati navah, Eli ni ka ca, bangtelane telah a pacei.
17 And he that brought the news answered, and said: Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter of the people: moreover thy two sons, Ophni and Phinees, are dead: and the ark of God is taken.
Kamthang ka thokhai e ni Isarelnaw teh Filistin hmalah hoi a yawng awh teh taran tuknae koe kadout e hai moi apap. Nange na ca roi Hophni hoi Phinehas hai a due toe. BAWIPA e thingkong hai na lawp awh toe telah a dei.
18 And when he had named the ark of God, he fell from his stool backwards by the door, and broke his neck, and died. For he was an old man, and far advanced in years: and he judged Israel forty years.
BAWIPA e thingkong e akong a dei tahma Eli teh longkha teng tungkhung van hoi pathan lah a rawp teh a lahuen a kâkhoe dawkvah a due. Ahni ni Isarel miphun kum 40 touh a uk.
19 And his daughter in law the wife of Phinees, was big with child, and near her time: and hearing the news that the ark of God was taken, and her father in law, and her husband, were dead, she bowed herself and fell in labour: for her pains came upon her on a sudden.
A langa Phinehas e a yu teh camo a vawn e khe tawmlei toe. BAWIPA e thingkong na lawp awh toe tie a marang hoi a vâ a due tie a thai toteh a tabut teh a ca a khe.
20 And when she was upon the point of death, they that stood about her said to her: Fear not, for thou hast borne a son. She answered them not, nor gave heed to them.
A due tawmlei nah ateng kaawm e napuinaw ni na lungpuen hanh. Ca tongpa na khe toe telah a dei pouh awh nakunghai, banghai dei hoeh. Banglahai noutna hoeh.
21 And she called the child Ichabod, saying: The glory is gone from Israel, because the ark of God was taken, and for her father in law, and her husband:
Isarel miphun a bawilennae a kahma toe ati teh a ca hah Ikhabod telah a min a phung. Cathut e thingkong oun a la awh toe, a marang hoi a vâ hai a due toe atinae lah a min a phung.
22 And she said: The glory is departed from Israel, because the ark of God was taken.
Hathnukkhu hoi BAWIPA e thingkong a la awh toung dawkvah, Isarel miphun a bawilennae a kahma toe telah a dei.
