1 Samuel 4
1 And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Eben-ezer; and the Philistines pitched in Aphek.
Isarel miphun pueng koevah Samuel ni a dei e lawk a kamthang. Isarelnaw ni Filistinnaw tuk hanelah a cei awh teh, Ebenezer kho teng a roe awh teh, Filistinnaw Aphek kho vah a tungpup awh.
2 And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel; and when the battle was spread, Israel was smitten before the Philistines; and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.
Filistin taminaw teh Isarel miphunnaw kâtuknae a pataw poung dawk Isarelnaw a sung awh teh ransa 4,000 tabang hane a due.
3 And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said: 'Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us to-day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh unto us, that He may come among us, and save us out of the hand of our enemies.'
Ransanaw teh pupim koe a pha awh toteh Isarel kacuenaw ni, bangkongmaw sahnin vah Filistin hmalah BAWIPA ni na sung sak awh vaw. Shiloh kho hoiyah BAWIPA e lawkkam thingkong hah kai koe thokhai awh. Hattorei doeh tarannaw e kut dawk hoi kai ni na rungngang awh han.
4 So the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, who sitteth upon the cherubim; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
Shiloh khovah tami a patoun awh teh Cherubim van ka tahung e ransahu BAWIPA e lawkkam thingkong a thokhai awh. Eli capa kahni touh: Hophni hoi Phinehas hoi Cathut lawkkam thingkong koe ao roi van.
5 And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang.
BAWIPA e lawkkam thingkong teh pupim hmuen koe a pha toteh, Isarel tami pueng teh puenghoi talai ka tuen lah a hram awh.
6 And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said: 'What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews?' And they knew that the ark of the LORD was come into the camp.
Filistin miphunnaw ni a hram e lawk a thai awh navah Hebrunaw e roenae pupim koe hramnae pawlawk bangtelane telah a pacei awh. BAWIPA e thingkong pupim koe a tho tie a panue awh navah,
7 And the Philistines were afraid, for they said: 'God is come into the camp.' And they said: 'Woe unto us! for there was not such a thing yesterday and the day before.
Cathut teh pupim rim koe pha toe telah a dei awh teh, Filistin miphunnaw ni a taki awh. Maimouh yawthoe awh toe, het patetlah vai touh hai awm boihoeh.
8 Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? these are the gods that smote the Egyptians with all manner of plagues and in the wilderness.
Maimouh yawthoe awh toe. Apinimaw maimouh teh thakaawme cathutnaw kut dawk hoi na rungngang han vai. Izip miphunnaw kahrawng vah runae aphunphun hoi ka thet e teh hete cathutnaw doeh ati awh.
9 Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you; quit yourselves like men, and fight.'
Filistinnaw na tha kâlat awh, tongpa katang lah awm awh. Hottelah nahoeh pawiteh nangmouh dawk Hebrunaw san lah ao e patetlah nangmouh hai ahnimouh koe san lah na o awh han. Hatdawkvah, tongpatang lah awm awh nateh tuk awh.
10 And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man to his tent; and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
Filistinnaw ni a tuk awh navah Isarel miphunnaw a sung awh teh amamae rim dawk lengkaleng a yawng awh. Kâtheikârawngnae a pataw poung dawk Isarel ransa 30000 touh a due.
11 And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
BAWIPA e thingkong a lawp awh teh Eli capa Hophni hoi Phinehas hai a thei awh.
12 And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head.
Hat hnin navah Benjamin phun buet touh taran hmuen koehoi a yawng teh Shiloh kho a pha. Ahni a ravei teh a lû dawk vaiphu a kâphuen teh,
13 And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon his seat by the wayside watching; for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.
a pha navah Eli ni BAWIPA e thingkong hanelah a lungtâsue teh, lam teng tungkhung dawk hoi a khet. Ahni ni khopui a pha teh akongnaw a dei navah kho abuemlahoi a khuika awh.
14 And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said: 'What meaneth the noise of this tumult?' And the man made haste, and came and told Eli.
Eli ni a khuikanae a thai toteh, hramkinae pawlawk bang nama telah a pacei navah, hote tami teh karang poung lah a cei teh Eli koe a dei.
15 Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were set, that he could not see.
Eli teh kum 98 a pha toung dawkvah a mit hmawt thai hoeh toe.
16 And the man said unto Eli: 'I am he that came out of the army, and I fled to-day out of the army.' And he said: 'How went the matter, my son?'
Hote tami ni Eli koe kâtuknae koehoi ka tho e doeh. Sahnin taranum hoi ka yawng e doeh telah ati navah, Eli ni ka ca, bangtelane telah a pacei.
17 And he that brought the tidings answered and said: 'Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.'
Kamthang ka thokhai e ni Isarelnaw teh Filistin hmalah hoi a yawng awh teh taran tuknae koe kadout e hai moi apap. Nange na ca roi Hophni hoi Phinehas hai a due toe. BAWIPA e thingkong hai na lawp awh toe telah a dei.
18 And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off his seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck broke, and he died; for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
BAWIPA e thingkong e akong a dei tahma Eli teh longkha teng tungkhung van hoi pathan lah a rawp teh a lahuen a kâkhoe dawkvah a due. Ahni ni Isarel miphun kum 40 touh a uk.
19 And his daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, near to be delivered; and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and brought forth; for her pains came suddenly upon her.
A langa Phinehas e a yu teh camo a vawn e khe tawmlei toe. BAWIPA e thingkong na lawp awh toe tie a marang hoi a vâ a due tie a thai toteh a tabut teh a ca a khe.
20 And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her: 'Fear not; for thou hast brought forth a son.' But she answered not, neither did she regard it.
A due tawmlei nah ateng kaawm e napuinaw ni na lungpuen hanh. Ca tongpa na khe toe telah a dei pouh awh nakunghai, banghai dei hoeh. Banglahai noutna hoeh.
21 And she named the child Ichabod, saying: 'The glory is departed from Israel'; because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
Isarel miphun a bawilennae a kahma toe ati teh a ca hah Ikhabod telah a min a phung. Cathut e thingkong oun a la awh toe, a marang hoi a vâ hai a due toe atinae lah a min a phung.
22 And she said: 'The glory is departed from Israel; for the ark of God is taken.'
Hathnukkhu hoi BAWIPA e thingkong a la awh toung dawkvah, Isarel miphun a bawilennae a kahma toe telah a dei.
