< 1 Samuel 7 >
1 And then men of Cariathiarim came and fetched up the ark of the Lord and carried it into the house of Abinadab in Gabaa: and they sanctified Eleazar his son, to keep the ark of the Lord.
Kiriath Jearim khocanaw a tho awh teh, BAWIPA e thingkong hah a ceikhai awh. Mon e Abinadab im a kâenkhai awh teh, thingkong ka khenyawn hanelah a capa Eleazar hah a kamthoung sak awh.
2 And it came to pass, that from the day the ark of the Lord abode in Cariathiarim days were multiplied, (for it was now the twentieth year, ) and all the house of Israel rested following the Lord.
Kiriath Jearim kho dawk thingkong ao nathung kum 20 touh a ro toe. Isarel phunnaw teh BAWIPA dawk pouk dounnae a tawn awh.
3 And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying: If you turn to the Lord with all your heart, put away the strange gods from among you, Baalim and Astaroth: and prepare your hearts unto the Lord, and serve him only, and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.
Samuel ni Isarel miphun pueng koe BAWIPA koe lah lungthin abuemlah bout na ban awh pawiteh, nangmouh rahak ram alouke cathutnaw hoi Ashtaroth cathut hah tâkhawng awh nateh BAWIPA dawk na lungthin pen awh. BAWIPA e thaw ma tawk awh. Hottelah na sak awh pawiteh Filistinnaw e kut dawk hoi nangmouh na rungngang han telah a ti.
4 Then the children of Israel put away Baalim and Astaroth, and served the Lord only.
Hatdawkvah, Isarel miphunnaw ni Baal cathut Ashtaroth hah a pahnawt awh teh, BAWIPA e thaw hah a tawk awh.
5 And Samuel said: Gather all Israel to Masphath, that I may pray to the Lord for you.
Samuel ni Mizpah kho dawk Isarel miphun pueng hah kamkhueng sak nateh nangmouh hanelah BAWIPA koe ka ratoum han telah a ti.
6 And they gathered together to Masphath: and they drew water, and poured it out before the Lord, and they fasted on that day, and they said there: We have sinned against the Lord. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Masphath.
Ahnimouh teh Mizpah kho a kamkhueng awh teh tui a do awh teh, BAWIPA e hmalah a rabawk awh. Hote hnin nah rawca a hai awh teh, maimouh ni BAWIPA koe yonnae sak awh toe telah ati awh. Samuel ni Mizpah khovah Isarelnaw hah lawk a ceng.
7 And the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Masphath, and the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard this, they were afraid of the Philistines.
Isarelnaw hah Mizpah kho dawk a kamkhueng awh e Filistinnaw ni a thai awh toteh, Filistin siangpahrangnaw teh Isarelnaw tuk hanelah a cei awh. Hote a kong hah Isarelnaw ni a thai awh toteh Filistinnaw a taki awh.
8 And they said to Samuel: Cease not to cry to the Lord our God for us, that he may save us out of the hand of the Philistines.
Isarelnaw ni Samuel koe kaimanaw hah Filistinnaw e kut dawk hoi na rungngang thai nahan kaimae BAWIPA Cathut koe kâhat laipalah ratoum loe atipouh awh.
9 And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it whole for a holocaust to the Lord: and Samuel cried to the Lord for Israel, and the Lord heard him.
Samuel ni sanu ka net lahun e tuca buet touh a la teh, BAWIPA koe abuemlahoi hmaisawi thuengnae a poe teh, Isarelnaw hanelah BAWIPA koe ratoum pouh teh, BAWIPA ni a thai pouh.
10 And it came to pass, when Samuel was offering the holocaust, the Philistines began the battle against Israel: but the Lord thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and terrified them, and they were overthrown before the face of Israel.
Samuel ni hmaisawi thuengnae a sak lahun nah Filistinnaw ni Isarelnaw tuk hanelah rek a hnai awh. Hatei BAWIPA ni Filistinnaw koe kho puenghoi a parit sak teh Isarelnaw e hmaitung taran a sung awh.
11 And the men of Israel going out of Masphath pursued after the Philistines, and made slaughter of them till they came under Bethchar.
Isarelnaw hah Mizpah kho hoi a tâco awh teh Bethkhar kho rahim totouh a pâlei awh teh Filistinnaw a thei awh.
12 And Samuel took a stone, and laid it between Masphath and Sen: and he called the place, the Stone of help. And he said: Thus far the Lord hath helped us.
Samuel ni talung buet touh a la teh, Mizpah kho hoi Shem kho rahak dawk a ung hnukkhu, BAWIPA ni maimouh sahnin totouh na kabawp awh toe telah a dei teh, hote talung teh Ebenezer telah min a poe.
13 And the Philistines were humbled, and they did not come any more into the borders of Israel. And the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines, all the days of Samuel.
Filistinnaw teh a sung awh. Isarelnaw e ram dawk bout tho awh hoeh toe. Samuel a hring na thung pueng Filistinnaw e lathueng BAWIPA e a kut a pha sak.
14 And the cities, which the Philistines had taken from Israel, were restored to Israel, from Accaron to Geth, and their borders: and he delivered Israel from the hand of the Philistines, and there was peace between Israel and the Amorrhites.
Filistinnaw ni Isarelnaw e kho a la e Ekron kho hoi kamtawng teh Gath kho totouh Isarelnaw bout a poe awh teh a ram hah Isarelnaw ni Filistinnaw e kut dawk hoi bout a lawp awh teh, Isarelnaw hoi Amornaw hanelah roumnae a sak awh.
15 And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life:
Samuel ni a hring nathung pueng Isarel a uk.
16 And he went every year about to Bethel and to Galgal and to Masphath, and he judged Israel in the aforesaid places.
Kumtangkuem ahni ni Bethel hoi Gilgal kho Mizpah khonaw a rip hnukkhu hote khopuinaw thung Isarelnaw hah a uk.
17 And he returned to Ramatha, for there was his house, and there he judged Israel: he built also there an altar to the Lord.
Hathnukkhu hoi a onae im kaawm e kho Ramah vah a ban. Hote khothung vah Isarelnaw lawk a ceng teh BAWIPA hanelah hote hmuen koe thuengnae khoungroe a sak.
