1 Samuel 4
1 And Samuel spake vnto all Israel: and Israel went out against the Philistims to battel and pitched beside Eben-ezer: and the Philistims pitched in Aphek.
Te phoeiah Samuel ol Israel pum taengla pawk. Te dongah Israel tah caem khuikah Philisti te mah hamla cet tih Ebenezer ah rhaeh uh. Te vaengah Philisti tah Aphek ah rhaeh.
2 And the Philistims put themselues in aray against Israel: and when they ioyned the battell, Israel was smitten downe before the Philistims: who slewe of the armie in the fielde about foure thousand men.
Philisti khaw Israel mah ham rhong a pai uh tih caemtloek khaw a yaal uh. Te vaengah Israel tah Philisti mikhmuh ah yawk tih hlang thawng li tluk te lohma li ah maehlaep bangla a tloek uh.
3 So when the people were come into the campe, the Elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the Lord smitten vs this day before ye Philistims? let vs bring the Arke of the couenant of the Lord out of Shiloh vnto vs, that when it commeth among vs, it may saue vs out of the hande of our enemies.
Te dongah pilnam loh rhaehhmuen la a pawk uh vaengah Israel khuikah a hamca rhoek te, “Tihnin ah tah BOEIPA loh balae tih mamih he Philisti mikhmuh ah n'yawk sak? BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng te Shiloh lamloh mamih taengla lo uh sih. Mamih lakli la ha pawk daengah ni thunkha kut lamkah mamih n'khang eh?,” a ti uh.
4 Then the people sent to Shiloh, and brought from thence the Arke of the couenant of the Lord of hostes, who dwelleth betweene the Cherubims: and there were the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni, and Phinehas, with the Arke of the couenant of God.
Te dongah pilnam te Shiloh la a tueih tih te lamkah Caempuei BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng, kherubim kah a ngol thil te a koh uh. Te vaengah Eli ca rhoi Hophni neh Phinekha khaw Pathen kah paipi thingkawng taengah om rhoi.
5 And when the Arke of the couenant of the Lord came into the hoste, all Israel shouted a mightie shoute, so that the earth rang againe.
BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng te rhaehhmuen la ha pawk vaengah Israel pum loh tamlung neh muep yuhui uh tih diklai khaw pangngawl.
6 And when the Philistims heard the noyse of the shoute, they said, What meaneth the sound of this mightie shoute in the host of the Ebrewes? and they vnderstoode, that the Arke of the Lord was come into the hoste.
Tamlung ol te Philisti loh a yaak vaengah, “Hebrew rhaehhmuen ah mebang tamlung ol lae rhup rhup aka khap uh te,” a ti uh. Tedae rhaehhmuen la BOEIPA thingkawng ha pawk te a ming uh.
7 And the Philistims were afraide, and saide, God is come into the hoste: therefore saide they, Wo vnto vs: for it hath not bene so heretofore.
Te vaengah Philisti rhoek loh, “Rhaehhmuen khuila Pathen ha pawk coeng,” a ti uh tih a rhih uh. Te dongah, “Anunae, hlaem hlavai ah khaw mamih taengah he bang he a om moenih.
8 Wo vnto vs, who shall deliuer vs out of the hande of these mightie Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wildernes.
Anunae mamih aih he, hmasoe cungkuem neh khosoek ah Egypt aka ngawn Pathen, aka khuet Pathen kut lamloh ulonglae mamih ng'huul eh?
9 Be strong and play the men, O Philistims, that ye be not seruants vnto the Ebrewes, as they haue serued you: be valiant therefore, and fight.
Tanglue uh lamtah Philisti hlang bangla om uh, nangmih taengah a thohat bangla Hebrew taengah na thoatat uh ve. Hlang bangla om uh lamtah tloek uh,” a ti uh.
10 And the Philistims fought, and Israel was smitten downe, and fled euery man into his tent: and there was an exceeding great slaughter: for there fell of Israel thirtie thousand footemen.
Tedae Philisti rhoek loh a tloek uh vaengah Israel yawk tih hlang boeih loh amah kah dap la rhaelrham uh. Te vaengah hmasoe len muep om tih Israel rhalkap thawng sawmthum tah vik cungku uh.
11 And the Arke of God was taken, and the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas died.
Pathen kah thingkawng te vik a loh uh tih Eli ca rhoi Hophni neh Phinekha khaw duek.
12 And there ranne a man of Beniamin out of the armie, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and earth vpon his head.
Te vaengah caem lamkah Benjamin hlang pakhat te yong tih hnin at neh Shiloh a pha. Tedae a himbai te a phen, tih diklai neh a lu a phul thil.
13 And when hee came, loe, Eli sate vpon a seate by the wayside, wayting: for his heart feared for the Arke of God and when the man came into the citie to tell it, all the citie cried out.
A pha vaengah Eli tah longpuei hmatoeng bawt kah ngolkhoel dongah pahoi ana ngol. A lungbuei a om dongah Pathen thingkawng ham te a thuen doela a tawt. Te vaengah khopuei ah puen hamla hlang ha pai tih khopuei khaw boeih pang.
14 And when Eli heard the noyse of the crying, he sayd, What meaneth this noyse of the tumult? and the man came in hastily, and tolde Eli.
Pangngawlnah ol te Eli loh a yaak vaengah, “Me lamkah hlangping ol lae he,” a ti nah. Te vaengah hlang koe halo tih Eli taengah a puen pah.
15 (Nowe Eli was fourescore and eighteene yeere olde, and his eyes were dimme that hee could not see)
Eli tah kum sawmko kum rhet a lo ca coeng dongah a mik hmaang tih hmu thai voel pawh.
16 And the man sayd vnto Eli, I came from the armie, and I fled this day out of the hoste: and he sayd, What thing is done, my sonne?
Tekah hlang loh Eli taengah, “Caem lamkah ka pawk coeng. Kai khaw tihnin ah caem lamkah ka rhaelrham,” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Kai ca taengah mebang hno lae aka thoeng,” a ti nah.
17 Then the messenger answered and sayd, Israel is fled before the Philistims, and there hath bene also a great slaughter among the people: and moreouer thy two sonnes, Hophni and Phinehas are dead, and the Arke of God is taken.
Ol aka phong loh a doo tih, “Israel te Philisti mikhmuh ah a rhaelrham van hatah pilnam khuiah lucik la muep om tih nang ca rhoi Hophni neh Phinekha khaw duek coeng, Pathen kah thingkawng khaw a khuen coeng,” a ti nah.
18 And when he had made mention of the Arke of God, Eli fell from his seate backward by the side of the gate, and his necke was broken, and he dyed: for he was an olde man and heauie: and he had iudged Israel fourtie yeeres.
Pathen kah thingkawng te a poek vaengah ngolkhoel dong lamloh vongka hmatoeng ah a hnuk la palet uh tih a rhawn a tlawt pah. Tekah hlang patong aka duek te rhih. Tedae amah loh Israel te kum sawmli lai a tloek pah.
19 And his daughter in lawe Phinehas wife was with childe neere her trauell: and when she heard the report that the Arke of God was taken, and that her father in lawe and her husband were dead, she bowed her selfe, and trauailed: for her paines came vpon her.
Te vaengah Phinekha kah a yuu, amah langa tah vawn tih om tom coeng. Te vaengah olthang te Pathen thingkawng a khuen khaw, a marhang neh a va duek khaw a yaak. Te dongah sop uh tih camoe pahoi om. Tedae anih te a kuihlam loh a voeih.
20 And about the time of her death, the women that stoode about her, sayd vnto her, Feare not: for thou hast borne a sonne: but she answered not, nor regarded it.
A duek tue vaengah tah a taengkah aka pai rhoek loh, “Capa na cun coeng dongah rhih boeh,” a ti nauh. Tedae doo voel pawt tih a lungbuei pael voel pawh.
21 And she named the childe Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel, because the Arke of God was taken, and because of her father in lawe and her husband.
Tedae Pathen kah thingkawng a loh uh dongah Israel kah a thangpomnah khaw, a marhang khaw, a va khaw khum coeng,” a ti tih camoe te Ikhabot a sui.
22 She sayde againe, The glory is departed from Israel: for the Arke of God is taken.
Te dongah, “Pathen kah thingkawng a loh uh dongah Israel kah thangpomnah khaw khum van,” a ti.
