1 Samuel 2
1 Hannah prayed, “I'm so happy in the Lord! He has empowered me! Now I have plenty to say in answer to those who hate me. I celebrate your salvation!
Te phoeiah Hannah te thangthui tih, “BOEIPA dongah ka lungbuei loh sundaep, BOEIPA ah ka ki loh pomsang uh coeng. Namah kah khangnah dongah ka kohoe tih, ka thunkha khaw ka ka loh a ang thil coeng.
2 There's no one holy like the Lord—no one apart from you, no Rock like our God!
BOEIPA bangla aka cim om pawh. Nang aka puet khaw om pawt tih, lungpang khaw kaimih kah Pathen bangla a om moenih.
3 Don't speak so conceitedly! Don't talk so arrogantly! For the Lord is a God who knows everything—doesn't he judge what you do?
BOEIPA tah lungming Pathen la om tih, khoboe rhamlang khaw amah loh a khiing a lang coeng dongah na ka lamkah mangkhak ol aka thoeng neh, a sang sang la muep cal boeh.
4 The weapons of the powerful are shattered, while those who stumble along are made strong.
Hlangrhalh rhoek kah lii te paep cakhaw, aka paloe rhoek loh thadueng a vah uh.
5 Those who used to have plenty of food now have to work to earn a crust, while those who used to be hungry now have become fat. The woman who was childless now has seven children, while the woman with many children fades away.
Aka soep rhoek loh buh a kutloh uh daengah bungpong khaw a toeng uh. Caya long pataeng parhih khaw a sak coeng dongah, ca aka ping khaw a thathae coeng.
6 The Lord kills and he revives; he sends some down to the grave, but he raises others up. (Sheol h7585)
BOEIPA loh a duek sak tih a hing sak. Saelkhui la a det coeng dae koep a thoh bal. (Sheol h7585)
7 The Lord makes some poor, but others rich; he brings some down, but he lifts others up.
BOEIPA loh a talh dae koep a boei sak, a tlayae sak dae koep a pomsang.
8 He helps the poor up from the dust; he raises the lowborn from the trash pile and seats them with the upper class in places of honor. For the foundations of the earth belong to the Lord, and he has placed the world on them.
Diklai kah tungpuei tah BOEIPA koe la om tih, lunglai khaw a sut thil coeng dongah tattloel te laipi khui lamkah a thoh. Khodaeng khaw hlangcong taengah ngol sak ham te, natva lamloh a pomsang tih amih te thangpomnah ngolkhoel neh a phaeng.
9 He will take care of those who trust him, but the wicked vanish into the darkness, for people don't succeed through their own strength.
A hlangcim rhoek kah a hlangcim kho te a ngaithuen. Tedae halang rhoek kah thadueng loh pakhat khaw a na pawt dongah hmaisuep ah ngam uh.
10 The Lord crushes his enemies, he thunders against them from heaven. He rules the whole earth; he strengthens his king, and gives power to the one he has anointed.”
Amah aka oelh la aka oelh te tah BOEIPA loh a rhihyawp sak tih, vaan lamkah rhaek neh a daeh. BOEIPA loh diklai khobawt duela lai a tloek vetih a manghai te sarhi a tak sak phoeiah a messiah ki khaw a pomsang ni,” a ti.
11 Then Elkanah went home to Ramah while the boy stayed with Eli the priest serving the Lord.
Te phoeiah Elkanah loh Ramah la a im te a paan. Tedae camoe tah khosoih Eli taengah BOEIPA bibi la om.
12 Eli's sons were worthless men who didn't have any time for the Lord
Te vaengah Eli ca rhoi tah muen rhoi ca tih BOEIPA te ming rhoi pawh.
13 or their role as priests to the people. They would send one of their servants over with a fork when anyone came to offer a sacrifice.
Te vaengah pilnam lamkah hlang boeih loh hmueih a nawn tih khosoih rhoek kah hamsum vaengah khosoih kah tueihyoeih pakhat te maeh thong la halo hatah a kut dongah ciksum a sum pathum te a pom.
14 The servant would stick the fork into the pot while the meat from the sacrifice was being boiled, and would take whatever meat came up on the fork to Eli's sons. This is how they treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh.
Anih loh baeldung khaw, voh khaw, ampaih khaw, am khaw a toeh vaengah ciksum loh a doek boeih te khosoih loh amah ham a loh. Te tlam te Shiloh la aka pawk Israel boeih taengah a saii rhoi.
15 In fact even before the fat of the sacrifice was burned up the servant would come and would demand from the man sacrificing, “Give me meat to roast for the priest. He doesn't want boiled meat from you—he wants it raw.”
Maehtha te a phum uh hlan ah pataeng khosoih kah tueihyoeih te halo tih hmueih aka ngawn hlang taengah, “Maeh te khosoih ham a hai pah la a thing la m'pae, na maeh hmin te doe mahpawh,” a ti nah.
16 The man might answer, “Let me first burn up all the fat, and then you can have as much as you want.” But the priest's servant would reply, “No, you must give it to me now. If you don't, I'll take it by force.”
Tedae anih te hlang pakhat loh, “Maehtha he a noek kah bangla m'phum m'phum vetih man na hinglu loh a nai te namah ham na loh sue,” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Pawh, tahae nam paek pawt atah thama la ka loh ni,” a ti nah.
17 The sins of these young men were extremely serious from the Lord's perspective because they were treating with contempt the Lord's offerings.
Tedae cadong rhoi tholhnah tah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a len koek la om coeng. Tekah hlang rhoi loh BOEIPA khocang ni a tlaitlaek rhoi coeng.
18 But Samuel served before the Lord—a boy dressed as a priest, wearing a linen ephod.
Samuel tah takhlawk hnisui te a sui tih BOEIPA mikhmuh kah bi aka bi camoe la om.
19 Every year his mother made him a little robe and took it to him when she went with her husband to offer the annual sacrifice.
A kum kum kah a tue a pha vaengah tah Hannah khaw hmueih nawn ham a va neh cet rhoi. Te vaengah a manu loh Samuel ham hnikul ca a saii tih a khuen pah.
20 Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, saying, “May the Lord give you children by this woman to replace the one she prayed for and dedicated to the Lord.” Then they would return home.
Te vaengah Elkanah neh a yuu te Eli loh yoethen a paek tih, “BOEIPA taengah a bih vanbangla a huithuinah yueng la hekah huta pum dongah BOEIPA loh nang taengah tiingan hang khueh saeh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah amah hmuen la cet uh.
21 The Lord blessed Hannah with three sons and two daughters. The boy Samuel grew up in the presence of the Lord.
Hannah te BOEIPA loh a hip dongah vawn tih capa pathum neh canu panit a cun. Te vaengah camoe Samuel tah BOEIPA taengah rhoeng hang.
22 Eli was very old, however he had heard about all the things his sons were doing to the people of Israel, and how they were seducing the women who were serving at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
Eli he bahoeng patong coeng dae a ca rhoi loh Israel pum taengah a saii rhoi boeih te khaw, tingtunnah dap thohka aka muk huta rhoek taengah a yalh rhoi te khaw a yaak.
23 He asked them, “Why are you doing all this? I keep on hearing from everyone about your evil actions.
Te dongah amih rhoi te, “Balae tih he rhoek kah hno he na saii rhoi? Nangmih rhoi kah boethae ol te khaw kai loh he pilnam cungkuem taeng lamkah ka yaak coeng.
24 No, my sons, the report I hear about you from the Lord's people isn't good.
Ka ca rhoi nang te tlam moenih, BOEIPA pilnam lamkah ha puek tih ka yaak olthang te a then moenih.
25 If a man sins against someone, God can intercede for him; but if a man sin against the Lord, who is going to intercede for him?” But they didn't pay attention to what their father said, for the Lord was planning to put them to death.
Hlang pakhat te hlang pakhat soah a tholh atah anih ham te Pathen loh lai a rhoe pueng. Tedae hlang pakhat te BOEIPA soah a tholh coeng atah anih ham te ulae aka thangthui pa eh,” a ti nah. Tedae amih rhoi te BOEIPA loh duek sak ham a ngaih coeng dongah a napa ol te hnatun rhoi pawh.
26 The boy Samuel grew physically, and also grew in the approval of both the Lord and the people.
Camoe Samuel tah a pong a pa neh boeilen tih BOEIPA taeng neh hlang taengah khaw hoeikhang hang.
27 A man of God came to Eli and told him, “This is what the Lord says: Didn't I very clearly reveal myself to your forefather's family when they were ruled by Pharaoh in Egypt?
Te vaengah Pathen kah hlang te Eli taengla halo tih, “BOEIPA loh, ‘Egypt kah Pharaoh im hmuiah a om vaengah na pa im ah ka phoe rhoela ka phoe ta nama?
28 I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel as my priest, to offer sacrifices on my altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod in my presence. I also gave to your forefather's family all the Israelites' offerings made with fire.
Ka mikhmuh ah hnisui aka vah ham neh ka hmueihtuk la aka cet tih, bo-ul aka phum la ka khosoih sak ham ni Israel koca rhoek boeih khui lamkah anih ka tuek tih, Israel ca rhoek kah a hmaihlutnah boeih te na pa imkhui ah ka paek.
29 So why have you treated with contempt my sacrifices and offerings that I have ordered for my place of worship? You honor your sons more than me by fattening yourselves with the best parts of all the offerings from my people Israel.
Balae tih, ka hmueih neh khuirhung la kang uen ka khosaa te na talaeh phoeiah ka pilnam Israel kah khocang boeih khuikah a vueilue dongah na suen uh tih kai lakah na ca rhoi na thangpom,’ a ti.
30 Consequently, this is the declaration of the Lord: I made a definite promise that your family and your father's family would always serve me as priests. But now the Lord declares: Not anymore! Instead I will honor those who honor me, but those who despise me I will treat with contempt.
Te dongah Israel Pathen BOEIPA olphong loh, ‘Na imkhui ah khaw, na pa imkhui ah khaw kumhal duela ka mikhmuh ah pongpa ham ka thui rhoela ka thui coeng,’ a ti. Tedae BOEIPA kah olphong loh, ‘Kai lamkah tah savisava, Kai aka thangpom tah ka thangpom vetih kai aka hnaep tah thaephoei thil la om ni.’
31 The time is coming when I will bring your family and your father's family to an end. No one will live to an old age.
A tue a pha vaengah namah kah na ban khaw, na pa imkhui kah bantha te khaw ka haih vetih na imkhui ah a hamca om mahpawh.
32 You will see tragedy in the place of worship. While Israel will prosper, no one in your family will ever again reach old age.
Israel te boeih voelphoeng cakhaw na khuirhung kah rhal ni na paelki eh. Na hing tue khuiah na imkhui ah patong om mahpawh.
33 Anyone of your family not cut off from serving at my altar will make your eyes weep and cause you grief. All your descendants will die when full of life.
Na mik khah sak ham neh na hinglu yaai sak ham ka hmueihtuk dong lamloh nang kah hlang te ka pat sak moenih. Tedae na imkhui kah hlang rhoek te a pueh a kan la boeih duek uh ni.
34 Here is a sign for you that this will happen regarding your two sons Hophni and Phinehas: both will die on the same day.
Te dongah na ca rhoi, Hophni neh Phinekha ham te tahae kah miknoek loh nang taengla ha thoeng vetih amih rhoi te khohnin pakhat dongah duek rhoi ni.
35 I will choose for myself a trustworthy priest who will do what I really want, what I have in mind. I will make sure he and his descendants are trustworthy and they will always serve my anointed one.
Te vaengah ka thinko kah bangla aka cak khosoih te kamah ham ka thoh vetih ka hinglu dongkah te a saii ni. Anih ham khaw im ka thoh pah vetih ka cak sak vaengah ka koelh hlang kah a mikhmuh ah khohnin takuem pongpa ni.
36 Every one of your descendants who is left will come and bow down to him, asking for money and food, saying, ‘Please give me work as a priest so that I can have food to eat.’”
Na imkhui kah aka sueng boeih khaw cak hlii neh buh hluem te a taengah bakop thil ham ham paan ni. Te vaengah, ‘Buh kamat caak ham khaw khosoihbi pakhat dongah te kai n'thawth laem,’ a ti ni,” a ti nah.
