< 1 Samuel 2 >
1 AND Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the Lord, mine horn is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy 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 is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any 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 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
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 bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
Athakaawme taminaw e licung a kâkhoe teh a thakayounnaw thaonae a poe.
5 They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.
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 killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. (Sheol )
BAWIPA teh duesakthainae, hringsakthainae, phuen totouh duesaknae hoi thawsaknae kâ a tawn. (Sheol )
7 The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.
BAWIPA ni roedengsaknae, tawntasaknae, a pabo teh tawmthainae kâ a tawn.
8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and he hath set the world upon 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 keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
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 adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the Lord shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his 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 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the Lord before Eli the priest.
Hathnukkhu hoi Elkanah teh Ramah kho e a im vah a pha. Hatei camo teh vaihma Eli koe BAWIPA e thaw a tawk.
12 Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord.
Eli capanaw teh a rawk teh BAWIPA panuek a hoeh.
13 And the priests’ custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand;
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 And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither.
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 Also before they burnt the fat, the priest’s servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but 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 And if any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, Nay; but thou shalt give it me now: and if not, I will 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 Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord: for men abhorred the offering of the Lord.
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 ministered before the Lord, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.
Camo Samuel teh vaihma e angkidung a khohna teh BAWIPA hmalah thaw a tawk.
19 Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly 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 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The Lord give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the Lord. And they went unto their own 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 And the Lord visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before 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 Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
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 And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.
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 Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the Lord’s people to transgress.
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 one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the Lord would slay them.
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 And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the Lord, and also with men.
Camo Samuel teh a roung takhang teh Cathut hoi tami e lungngai lah ao.
27 And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh’s house?
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 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?
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 Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?
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 Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the Lord saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
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 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father’s house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.
Na imthung dawk matawng ka phat hoeh lah na kut hoi na miphun e a kut hah a tâtuengnae tueng a pha han.
32 And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.
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 And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age.
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 And this shall be a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.
Na ca roi hnin touh dawk rei a due roi han. Hethateh na ca Hophni hoi Phinehas dawk ka phat hane hno doeh.
35 And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever.
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 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thine house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests’ offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
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.
