1 Samuel 15
1 Afterward Samuel said vnto Saul, The Lord sent me to anoint thee King ouer his people, ouer Israel: nowe therefore obey the voyce of the wordes of the Lord.
Saul te Samuel loh, “Nang he A pilnam Israel soah manghai la koelh ham BOEIPA loh kai n'tueih coeng. Te dongah BOEIPA kah olthui ol he tahae ah hnatun laeh.
2 Thus saith the Lord of hostes, I remember what Amalek did to Israel, howe they laide waite for the in ye way, as they came vp from Egypt.
Caempuei BOEIPA loh, “Israel Egypt lamkah a caeh uh vaengah Amalek loh longpueng ah a mah tih a saii te ka cawh ni.
3 Nowe therefore goe, and sinite Amalek, and destroy ye all that perteyneth vnto them, and haue no compassion on them, but slay both man and woman, both infant and suckling, both oxe, and sheepe, both camell, and asse.
Cet cet lamtah Amalek te tloek laeh. Anih taengkah te boeih thup pah lamtah anih soah na thinphat boeh. Te dongah tongpa lamloh huta khaw, camoe lamloh cahni hil khaw, vaito lamloh tu hil khaw, kalauk lamloh laak hil khaw ngawn,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
4 And Saul assembled ye people, and nombred them in Telaim, two hundreth thousande footemen, and ten thousand men of Iudah.
Te dongah pilnam te Saul loh a yaak sak tih amih te rhalkap thawng yahnih neh Judah hlang thawng rha la Telaim ah a soep.
5 And Saul came to a citie of Amalek, and set watch at the riuer.
Saul tah Amalek khopuei la cet tih, soklong ah a rhongngol thil.
6 And Saul said vnto the Kenites, Goe, depart, and get you downe from among the Amalekites, least I destroy you with them: for ye shewed mercie to all the children of Israel, when they came vp from Egypt: and the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
Te vaengah Keni te Saul loh, “Amalek lakli lamloh cet laeh, nong laeh, suntla laeh, nang te amih neh hmaih kam phae ve. Nang long tah Egypt lamkah aka pawk Israel ca boeih taengah sitlohnah na saii pah,” a ti nah. Te dongah Keni te Amalek lakli lamloh nong.
7 So Saul smote the Amalekites from Hauilah as thou commest to Shur, that is before Egypt,
Te phoeiah Havilah lamkah Egypt imdan Shur la aka pha Amalek te Saul loh a tloek.
8 And tooke Agag the King of the Amalekites aliue, and destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
Te vaengah Amalek manghai Agag te a hing la a tuuk tih pilnam boeih te cunghang ha neh a thup.
9 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the better sheepe, and the oxen, and the fat beasts, and the lambes, and all that was good, and they would not destroy them: but euery thing that was vile and nought worth, that they destroyed.
Tedae Saul neh pilnam loh Agag khaw, boiva neh saelhung then khaw, a toitup neh tuca khaw, a then boeih tah a hnaih tih amih te thup ham huem pawh. Te dongah hnopai boeih khuiah a hnawtkhoe neh a morhoe bueng te a thup.
10 Then came the worde of the Lord vnto Samuel, saying,
Te vaengah BOEIPA ol loh Samuel taengla thoeng tih,
11 It repenteth me that I haue made Saul King: for he is turned from me, and hath not performed my commandements. And Samuel was mooued, and cryed vnto the Lord all night.
“Saul manghai la ka manghai sak he damti coeng. Kai taeng lamloh hnukpoh tih ka ol a thoh puei moenih,” a ti nah. Samuel taengah a sai dongah khoyin puet BOEIPA taengah pang.
12 And when Samuel arose early to meete Saul in the morning, one tolde Samuel, saying, Saul is gone to Carmel: and beholde, he hath made him there a place, from whence he returned, and departed, and is gone downe to Gilgal.
Saul doe ham te mincang ah Samuel thoo coeng. Tedae Samuel te a voek tih, “Saul te Karmel la pawk tih a kut a thoh lahko, te phoeiah tinghil tih aka khum te Gilgal la suntla lahko,'' a ti nah.
13 Then Samuel came to Saul, and Saul said vnto him. Blessed be thou of the Lord, I haue fulfilled the commandement of the Lord.
Samuel te Saul taeng a pha vaengah Saul loh, “BOEIPA rhang neh na yoethen coeng, BOEIPA ol te ka thoh puei ngawn ne,” a ti nah.
14 But Samuel saide, What meaneth then the bleating of the sheepe in mine eares, and the lowing of the oxen which I heare?
Tedae Samuel loh, “Ka hna dongkah tu ol he ta? Saelhung kah a ol khaw ka yaak,” a ti nah.
15 And Saul answered, They haue brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheepe, and of the oxen to sacrifice them vnto the Lord thy God, and the remnant haue we destroyed.
Te vaengah Saul loh, “Amalek taeng lamkah boiva then neh saelhung te pilnam loh a hnaih dongah BOEIPA na Pathen taengah nawn hamla hang khuen uh, tih a hoeikhang te tah ka thup uh,” a ti nah.
16 Againe Samuel saide to Saul, Let me tell thee what the Lord hath saide to me this night. And he said vnto him, Say on.
Tedae Samuel loh Saul te, “Duem lamtah khoyin ah BOEIPA loh kai taengah a thui te nang taengah kan thui eh?,” a ti nah hatah, “Thui lah,” a ti nah.
17 Then Samuel saide, When thou wast litle in thine owne sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel? for the Lord anointed thee King ouer Israel.
Samuel loh, “Na mikhmuh ah na noe cakhaw, nang he Israel koca kah a lu neh Israel manghai la BOEIPA loh nang ng'koelh moenih a?
18 And the Lord sent thee on a iourney, and saide, Goe, and destroy those sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them, vntill thou destroy them.
Nang he longpuei la BOEIPA loh n'tueih vaengah, “Cet lamtah Amalek hlangtholh rhoek te thup laeh, amih te boeih a thok duela vathoh thil,” a ti.
19 Nowe wherefore hast thou not obeyed the voyce of the Lord, but hast turned to the pray, and hast done wickedly in the sight of the Lord?
Tedae balae tih BOEIPA ol na yaak pawh? Kutbuem dongah na cu tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae ni na saii,” a ti nah.
20 And Saul saide vnto Samuel, Yea, I haue obeyed the voyce of the Lord, and haue gone the way which the Lord sent me, and haue brought Agag the King of Amalek, and haue destroyed the Amalekites.
Samuel taengah Saul loh, “BOEIPA ol te ka hnatun tih BOEIPA loh kai n'tueih vanbangla, longpuei ah ka cet. Te dongah Amalek manghai Agag te kang khuen tih Amalek te ka thup.
21 But the people tooke of the spoyle, sheepe, and oxen, and the chiefest of the things which shoulde haue bene destroyed, to offer vnto the Lord thy God in Gilgal.
Tedae kutbuem khui lamloh boiva neh saelhung then tah Gilgal kah na Pathen BOEIPA taengah nawn hamla pilnam loh yaehtaboeih la a loh,” a ti nah.
22 And Samuel saide, Hath the Lord as great pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as when the voyce of the Lord is obeyed? beholde, to obey is better then sacrifice, and to hearken is better then the fatte of rammes.
Te dongah Samuel loh, “Hmueihhlutnah he BOEIPA ol hnatun bangla hmueihhlutnah neh hmueih dongah BOEIPA te hmae a? Olngai he hmueih lakah, hnatung ham he tutal kah a tha lakah then ngai.
23 For rebellion is as the sinne of withcraft, and transgression is wickednesse and idolatrie. Because thou hast cast away the worde of the Lord, therefore hee hath cast away thee from being King.
Boekoek bihma kah tholhnah, boethae neh sithui dongah na mangkhak tih BOEIPA ol te na hnawt dongah namah te manghai lamloh n'hnawt van coeng,” a ti nah.
24 Then Saul sayde vnto Samuel, I haue sinned: for I haue transgressed the commandement of the Lord, and thy wordes, because I feared the people, and obeyed their voyce.
Te daengah Saul loh Samuel taengah, “Pilnam ka rhih hulah BOEIPA olpaek neh nang ol ka poe tih amih ol ka hnatun tholh coeng.
25 Nowe therefore I pray thee, take away my sinne, and turne againe with mee, that I may worship the Lord.
Tedae tahae ah ka tholh he ng'rhen mai laeh. Kai taengah ha bal mai lamtah BOEIPA taengah tho ka thueng mai eh,” a ti nah.
26 But Samuel saide vnto Saul, I will not returne with thee: for thou hast cast away the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath cast away thee, that thou shalt not be King ouer Israel.
Tedae Saul te Samuel loh, “BOEIPA ol te na hnawt dongah nang taengla ka mael mahpawh. Israel soah manghai la na om te BOEIPA loh nang n'hnawt coeng,” a ti nah.
27 And as Samuel turned himselfe to goe away, he caught the lappe of his coate, and it rent.
Samuel te caeh ham a hooi uh vaengah a hnikul hmoi te a doek pah tih a phen pah.
28 Then Samuel saide vnto him, The Lord hath rent the kingdome of Israel from thee this day, and hath giuen it to thy neighbour, that is better then thou.
Te vaengah anih te Samuel loh, “Israel ram he tihnin ah BOEIPA loh nang taeng lamkah a phen tih nang lakah aka then na hui taengla a paek coeng.
29 For in deede the strength of Israel will not lye nor repent: for hee is not a man that hee should repent.
Israel kah yoeyah Pathen he rhi a lat moenih. A hal ham khaw anih tah hlang mailai pawt dongah a hal moenih,” a ti nah.
30 Then he saide, I haue sinned: but honour mee, I pray thee, before the Elders of my people, and before Israel, and turne againe with mee, that I may worship the Lord thy God.
Saul loh, “Ka tholh dae ka pilnam kah a hamca rhoek hmai neh Israel hmai ah kai he n'thangpom mai lamtah kai taengla ha mael mai. BOEIPA na Pathen te ka bawk tangloeng pawn eh,” a ti nah.
31 So Samuel turned againe, and followed Saul: and Saul worshipped the Lord.
Te dongah Samuel te Saul hnukla bal tih Saul loh BOEIPA te a bawk.
32 Then saide Samuel, Bring yee hither to me Agag ye King of the Amalekites: and Agag came vnto him pleasantly, and Agag saide, Truely the bitternesse of death is passed.
Te vaengah Samuel loh, “Amalek manghai Agag te kai taengla han khuen,” a ti nah. Te dongah Agag te anih taengah phatphat cet. Te vaengah Agag loh, “Dueknah khahing he khum taktak coeng,” a ti.
33 And Samuel sayde, As thy sworde hath made women childlesse, so shall thy mother bee childelesse among other women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the Lord in Gilgal.
Samuel loh, “Na cunghang loh huta rhoek a cakol sak vanbangla na nu kah tanu te cakol la om van saeh,” a ti nah tih Gilgal kah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah Samuel loh Agag te a petpet a sah.
34 So Samuel departed to Ramah, and Saul went vp to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
Samuel te Ramah la cet tih Saul te Gibeah kah amah im la cet.
35 And Samuel came no more to see Saul vntill the day of his death: but Samuel mourned for Saul, and the Lord repented that hee made Saul King ouer Israel.
Te lamkah longtah Saul sawt ham te Samuel loh a dueknah hnin duela thoelh voel pawh. Tedae Saul ham te Samuel nguekcoi tih Israel soah Saul a manghai sak te BOEIPA khaw damti coeng.
