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!
Hannah ni a ratoum e teh, BAWIPA dawk ka lunghawi poung. Ka ki hah BAWIPA ni a tawm toe. Nange Rungngangnae dawk ka lung ahawi teh ka tarannaw hmalah ka minhmai a pan.
2 There's no one holy like the Lord—no one apart from you, no Rock like our God!
BAWIPA a thoung e patetlah apihai thoung hoeh. Nang patetlah e awm hoeh. Kaimae Cathut patetlah kângue hane talung awm hoeh.
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?
Hot patetlah e kâoupnae lawk dei hanh leih. Na pahni dawk hoi lunglennae lawk tâcawt hanh naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA teh bangpueng ka panuek e Cathut lah ao teh, sak awh e pueng hah a khing.
4 The weapons of the powerful are shattered, while those who stumble along are made strong.
Athakaawme taminaw e licung a kâkhoe teh a thakayounnaw thaonae a poe.
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.
A von kapahanaw ca hane kawi a hmu nahan a tawng awh teh, a von kahlamnaw vonhlam awh hoeh toe. Napui cakaroe e ni vai sari touh ca a khe toe. A ca moikapap ka khe e napui a tha a tâwn toe.
6 The Lord kills and he revives; he sends some down to the grave, but he raises others up. (Sheol h7585)
BAWIPA teh duesakthainae, hringsakthainae, phuen totouh duesaknae hoi thawsaknae kâ a tawn. (Sheol h7585)
7 The Lord makes some poor, but others rich; he brings some down, but he lifts others up.
BAWIPA ni roedengsaknae, tawntasaknae, a pabo teh tawmthainae kâ a tawn.
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.
A ma ni pabo e vaiphu dawk hoi a tawm teh, a tha kayoun e hraba dawk hoi a tawm teh, tami katawntanaw hoi rei tahungthainae bawilennae bawitungkhung a poe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, talai dupuinaw teh BAWIPA e lah ao. Hote adu pui dawk BAWIPA ni talaivan a kamtue sak.
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.
Ama ni a tami kathoungnaw e a khok a khetyawt han. Tamikathoutnaw teh a hmo thung dueng ao awh han. Ma e thasainae hoi apihai tâ mahoeh.
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.”
BAWIPA ka taran e pueng reppasei lah a ta han. Kalvan hoi khoparit lawk hoi a tuk han. BAWIPA ni talai apout totouh lawk a ceng han. Ama e siangpahrang hah thasainae a poe han. Satui a awi e hah tawmdawm han telah a ti.
11 Then Elkanah went home to Ramah while the boy stayed with Eli the priest serving the Lord.
Hathnukkhu hoi Elkanah teh Ramah kho e a im vah a pha. Hatei camo teh vaihma Eli koe BAWIPA e thaw a tawk.
12 Eli's sons were worthless men who didn't have any time for the Lord
Eli capanaw teh a rawk teh BAWIPA panuek a hoeh.
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.
Tamimaya koe vaihmanaw oangnae teh, thuengnae moi a thawng lahunnah, vaihma e a san buet touh hoi moi sonae sum kathum samphei e a sin teh a tho.
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.
Ukkang thung thoseh, hlaam dawk thoseh, thawngnae hlaam dawk thoseh a cuek awh teh moi sonae sum kathum samphei hoi a rasa e moinaw hah vaihma ni ouk a la, hot patetlah hawvah ka tho e Isarel tami pueng koe Shiloh vah a sak awh.
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.”
Hatnavah, a thâw a karê hoehnahlan, vaihma san a tho teh thuengnae ka sak e koevah vaihma hanelah pahai e moi na poe haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang koe e thawng e moi lat mahoeh. Thawng hoeh e doeh a ngai telah a dei.
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.”
Ahni koevah ahrei hah hmaloe karê seh, hat hnukkhu vah na ngai yit touh na la han atipouh navah, ahni ni na hoeh bo atu roeroe na poe. Na poe hoehpawiteh, beng na lawp han ouk atipouh.
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.
Hatdawkvah, vaihma thoundounnaw teh a yonnae BAWIPA mithmu vah a lenpoung. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e thuengnae noutna hoeh e lah a hno awh toe.
18 But Samuel served before the Lord—a boy dressed as a priest, wearing a linen ephod.
Camo Samuel teh vaihma e angkidung a khohna teh BAWIPA hmalah thaw a tawk.
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.
Hothloilah, angkidung a manu ni a khui pouh teh, kumtangkuem thuengnae poe hanelah a vâ hoi a tho navah ouk a sin pouh.
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.
Eli ni Elkanah hoi a yu teh yawhawi a poe teh, BAWIPA hanelah hno na poe e heh hete napui hno lahoi BAWIPA ni na patho naseh telah atipouh. Hottelah hoiyah im lah a ban awh.
21 The Lord blessed Hannah with three sons and two daughters. The boy Samuel grew up in the presence of the Lord.
BAWIPA ni Hannah teh a khetyawt teh camo a vawn teh ca tongpa kathum napui kahni touh a khe. Camo Samuel hai BAWIPA hmalah a roung.
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 teh a matawng poung toe. Isarel pueng koe a canaw ni a sakyoe e pueng hoi kamkhuengnae lukkareiim takhang koe kamkhueng e napuinaw a ikhainae kong a thai a teh,
23 He asked them, “Why are you doing all this? I keep on hearing from everyone about your evil actions.
Ahnimouh koe bang kecu dawk maw het patetlah e hno hah na sak. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hetnaw koehoi e na sak awh e hnokahawi hoeh e kong hah ka thai.
24 No, my sons, the report I hear about you from the Lord's people isn't good.
Hawi hoeh ka canaw, BAWIPA e taminaw ni a dei awh e kamthang teh kamthang kahawi nahoeh. BAWIPA e taminaw lawk na ek sak.
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.
Tami reira hah Tami buet touh ni yonnae sak pawiteh, ahni teh, lawkcengkung ni lawk a ceng han. Tami buet touh ni BAWIPA dawk yon pawiteh, apinimaw a kâhei pouh han telah ati. Hatei a na pa e lawk ngai laipalah a onae teh BAWIPA ni thei han a ngai dawk doeh.
26 The boy Samuel grew physically, and also grew in the approval of both the Lord and the people.
Camo Samuel teh a roung takhang teh Cathut hoi tami e lungngai lah ao.
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?
BAWIPA e tami buet touh Eli koe a tho teh, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Izip ram Faro im ao awh navah na pa e na catoun koe kamcengcalah ka kamnue nahoehmaw.
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 thuengnae khoungroe koe cei hane hmuitui sawi hane, ka hmalah vaihma angki kho hane, Isarel miphun dawk hoi ahni teh ka rawi e lah awm hoeh namaw Isarel miphunnaw e hmaisawi thuengnae hai na pa e miphun koe kai ni ka poe.
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.
Ka im dawk, kâ na poe e thuengnae hnonaw bangkong na khok hoi na coungroe awh. Kai hlak vah na capanaw na barihnawn, nama na kâthaw saknae dawk ka tami Isarelnaw ni thuengnae kahawi kahawi e na hno, telah 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.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA Isarelnaw e Cathut ni kai ni na imthung hoi na pa imthung hah, a yungyoe ka hmalah ka thaw na tawk awh han telah kai ni na dei pouh ei, sahnin BAWIPA ni a dei e teh ka lawkkam teh kai hoi hlat naseh. Kai ka tawm e naw teh, kai ni ka tawm van han, kai bang lah ka noutna hoeh e naw teh bang lah ka noutna van mahoeh.
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.
Na imthung dawk matawng ka phat hoeh lah na kut hoi na miphun e a kut hah a tâtuengnae tueng a pha han.
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.
Ka im dawk e a rucatnae nang ni na hmu han. Isarel miphun lathueng kahawi hno ka sak e pueng kai ni ka poe nakunghai nange miphun dawk nâtuek hai a kum kacue matawng ka phat sak mahoeh.
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.
Kaie thuengnae khoungroe dawk hoi ka raphoe hoeh e nange miphun teh na mit a ro vaiteh, lungthin kamathoesakkung lah ka o sak han. Na catounnaw ni a thoundoun lahun nah a due han.
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.
Na ca roi hnin touh dawk rei a due roi han. Hethateh na ca Hophni hoi Phinehas dawk ka phat hane hno doeh.
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.
Yuemkamcu vaihma ka lungthin hoi ka pouknae dawk kaawm e ka sak e tami hah ka kangdue sak han. Kacakpounge imthung lah ka kangdue sak vaiteh a yungyoe hoi satui ka awi e hmalah ao han.
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 im vah ka cawi rae pueng tangka hoi vaiyei a hei lahoi a cei awh han. A hmalah tabut awh vaiteh, vaiyei youn touh ka ca hanelah ka hmu thai nahan, pahren lahoi vaihma thaw na tawk sak yawkaw ati awh han telah a ti.
