< 1 Samuel 11 >

1 Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabesh-gilead; and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash: 'Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.'
Lhakhat jouvin Ammon mi Nahash lengpa chun Jebesh-gilead khopi dou dingin ahung konin ahi. Chuin Jabesh khoa cheng mijouse chun Nahash jah-a, “Keiho toh kitepna khat sem uhitin chule nasoh kahi diu ahi,” tin atao tauve.
2 And Nahash the Ammonite said unto them: 'On this condition will I make it with you, that all your right eyes be put out; and I will lay it for a reproach upon all Israel.'
Hichun Nahash in, “Aphai, ahinla aumdan khat sem uhite, Israel pumpi kajumso thei nadia, namit changu jetlam cheh ka kaldoh ding ahi,” ati.
3 And the elders of Jabesh said unto him: 'Give us seven days' respite, that we may send messengers unto all the borders of Israel; and then, if there be none to deliver us, we will come out to thee.'
Hichun amahon, “Achutile nisagi nei ngah un, Israel gamsunga mi sol uvinge, eikithopi diu koima ahung louva ahileh naheng uvah lut tau vinge,” tin Jabesh upa hon adonbut tauve.
4 Then came the messengers to Gibeath-shaul, and spoke these words in the ears of the people; and all the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
Thupoho Saul umna Gibeah ahunglhun phat’un, mijouse mitchang kaldoh ding thu ajahdoh phat in khopi sunga mi jouse akapjah jeng tauvin ahi.
5 And, behold, Saul came following the oxen out of the field; and Saul said: 'What aileth the people that they weep?' And they told him the words of the men of Jabesh.
Hiche pettah’a chu Saul chu louva kona ganchahon nunga hunga ahi, chule khopi ahunglhun phat’in, “Ipi thilsoh uma hitam? Ipi jeh'a mipite hitobang tah’a khu kap-a hiuvem?” tin adong in ahile amahon Jabesh thupole ho thu chu aseipeh tauve.
6 And the spirit of God came mightily upon Saul when he heard those words, and his anger was kindled greatly.
Chuin Saul’in chuche thusoh ajah phat’in, Pathen akona lhagao achungah ahung chun, alunghan nachu ahung koujah jeng in ahi.
7 And he took a yoke of oxen, and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the borders of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying: 'Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen.' And the dread of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out as one man.
Chuin bongchal ni athat’in, achanbong bongin, Israel gamkai jousea ahom dingin thupole ho asollin, “Samuel le Saul gal’a jui louva galkon lou jouse abongchal jouse hitia hi kichanpan ding ahi!” tin gih na jong aneiyin ahi. Chule Pathen in Saul lunghan chun mijouse akichat sah in, kilungkhat tah in ahung kikhom sohkeijun ahi.
8 And he numbered them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
Chuin Saul’in Bezek mun’ah akhom khomin ahile Israel a kon mi sang jathum, chule Judah a kon, mi sang somthum akhom doh in ahi.
9 And they said unto the messengers that came: 'Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabesh-gilead: To-morrow, by the time the sun is hot, ye shall have deliverance.' And the messengers came and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
Saul in thupole ho chu Jabesh-Gilead miho henga, “Jing sunkim le kithopina namu diu ahi!” tin thu ale thot in ahile hiche thusoh ajah phat’un, khopi sungah kipana lentah ahung lhungin ahi.
10 And the men of Jabesh said: 'To-morrow we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you.'
Jabesh mihon agal miteho komah “Jing teng naheng uva kahung diu ahin, kachunguva nabol nom chan nabol theiju ahi,” tin aseipeh taovin ahi.
11 And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and smote the Ammonites until the heat of the day; and it came to pass, that they that remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
Ahin, ajing jingkah matah in Saul ahung lhun’in, asepaite hopthum in ahom khen’in, khovah in amelmate ngahmun adelkhum’un, hiche jingkah sungse chun, Ammon mite athat in, ahingdoh chasun akithen cheh uvin, achang changing ajam mang tauvin ahi.
12 And the people said unto Samuel: 'Who is he that said: Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.'
Chuin mipiten Samuel jah’a, “Ipijeh’a Saul i-chung uva leng chang ding ham? tia seiho chu hoilai um gam uhi tam? Neipedoh un, that gam uvinge!” tin angeh un ahi.
13 And Saul said: 'There shall not a man be put to death this day; for to-day the LORD hath wrought deliverance in Israel.'
Ahin Saul in adonbutin, “Tunia hi mi khatcha kithat lou ding ahi, ajeh chu tuni hi Israel ahuhhing nikho ni ahi,” ati.
14 Then said Samuel to the people: 'Come and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.'
Chuin Samuel in mipi jah ah, “Hungun Gilgal ah cheu hitin, ilengpau gaphongdoh kit uhite,” ati.
15 And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace-offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
Chuin mipite jouse chu Gilgal ah acheuvin, Pakai masang ah Saul chu Leng in asem doh tahbeh tauve. Hiti chun Pakai angsung ah chamna, kilhaina thilto gantha abolluvin, Saul jong Israel mite jong hapan akipah sohkei juvin ahi.
