< 1 Samuel 11 >

1 Then came up Nachash the 'Ammonite, and encamped against Yabesh-gil'ad: and all the men of Yabesh said unto Nachash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.
Ammon tami Nahash a luen teh, Gilead ram, Jabesh kho teng a tungpup awh. Jabesh khocanaw ni Nahash koe kaimouh koe lawkkam nateh, nange na thaw ka tawk han telah a dei awh.
2 And Nachash the 'Ammonite said unto them, On this condition will I make it with you, that ye all have put out the right eye, that I may lay it as a reproach upon all Israel.
Ammon phun Nahash ni nangmouh pueng e aranglae mit hah cawngkhawi vaiteh, Isarelnaw pueng hane min mathoenae hoi kaya sak torei doeh ahnimouh hoi lawkkam han telah bout atipouh.
3 And the elders of Yabesh said unto him, Grant us seven days' respite, that we may send messengers throughout all the boundary of Israel; and then, if there be none to save us, will we come out to thee.
Jabesh kho e kacuenaw ni ahni koe Isarel ram pueng dawk patounenaw patoun thai nahan, hnin 7 touh atueng na poe ei. Kaimouh ka rungngang hane buet touh boehai awm hoehpawiteh, hattorei doeh nang koe vah ka tâco awh han telah atipouh awh.
4 And the messengers came to Gib'ah of Saul, and spoke the words in the ears of the people; and all the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
Patounenaw teh Sawl a onae Gibeah kho a pha awh teh, taminaw a thai nahan hote akong a dei awh teh, taminaw teh a khuika awh.
5 And, behold, Saul was coming after the herds out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the words of the men of Yabesh.
Hatnae tueng nah Sawl teh maito a khoumnae koehoi a tho. Taminaw a khuika awh e bangkongmaw telah a pacei navah, ahnimouh ni Jabeshnaw ni a dei e lawk hah a dei pouh awh.
6 And the spirit of God came suddenly over Saul when he heard these words, and his anger was kindled greatly,
Hote lawk Sawl ni a thai toteh Sawl e lathueng Cathut e Muitha a pha teh a lung puenghoi a khuek.
7 And he took a yoke of oxen, and cut them in pieces, and sent them about throughout all the boundary of Israel by the hand of the messengers, saying, Whosoever goeth not forth after Saul and after Samuel, shall have his herds thus treated. And the dread of the Lord fell on the people, and they went out as one man.
Hahoi maito kahni touh a thei teh a moi koung a raban teh Isarel ram pueng dawk patounenaw a rei sak teh, taran tuknae koe Sawl hoi Samuel hnukkâbang hoeh e tami pueng e maito hah, hettelah sak han telah pathang pouh. BAWIPA takinae taminaw koe a pha teh cungtalah koung a tâco awh.
8 And he numbered them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
Bezek kho dawk tami a pâkhueng teh, Isarelnaw 300000, Judahnaw 30000 touh a pha.
9 And they said unto the messengers that were come, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Yabesh-gil'ad, Tomorrow shall ye have help, when the sun shineth hot. And the messengers came and told it to the men of Yabesh; and these were glad.
Hahoi ka tho awh e patounenaw koe, Jebesh Gilead taminaw koe, hettelah na dei pouh han. Tangtho khumbei a thoe lahun nah kabawpnae na hmu awh han, na ti pouh han atipouh. Patounenaw ni a cei awh teh, Jebesh khocanaw hah a dei pouh navah, a lung ahawipoung awh.
10 And the men of Yabesh said, Tomorrow will we go out unto you, and ye can do unto us in accordance with all that seemeth good in your eyes.
Hatdawkvah, Jebesh taminaw ni, tangtho nangmouh koe ka tâco awh vaiteh, nangmouh ni ahawi na tie patetlah kaimae lathueng sak lawih telah atipouh awh.
11 And it happened 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 they smote the 'Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that those that remained were scattered, and no two among them were left together.
Atangtho vah Sawl ni taminaw hah ahu kathum touh lah a kapek. Tarannaw tumpupnae koe amom vah a pha awh teh, Ammonnaw teh kanîthun khumbeithoe lahun totouh a thei awh. Kahlout e tami buet touh hoi buet touh boehai cungtalah o thai hoeh totouh a kâkayei awh.
12 And the people said unto Samuel, Who is there that saith, Shall Saul reign over us? give up the men, and we will put them to death.
Hatnavah taminaw ni Samuel koe, Sawl ni na uk awh han namaw, ka tet e api nama. Thei thai nahan hi thokhai awh haw telah atipouh.
13 And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death on this day; for today the Lord hath wrought deliverance in Israel.
Hatei Sawl ni sahnin dawk teh tami buet touh hai thet hanh sei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, sahnin BAWIPA ni Isarel taminaw koe rungngangnae akuepsak telah a ti.
14 And Samuel said to the people, Come and let us go to Gilgal, and renew there the choice of the king.
Hathnukkhu Samuel ni taminaw koe tho awh. Gilgal kho lah cet awh sei. Hote hmuen koe uknaeram hah bout kangdout sak awh sei telah atipouh.
15 And all the people went to Gilgal; and they appointed there Saul as king before the Lord in Gilgal; and they sacrificed there sacrifices of peace-offerings before the Lord; and Saul with all the men of Israel rejoiced there very greatly.
Taminaw pueng teh Gilgal kho lah a cei awh teh, haw vah BAWIPA e hmalah Sawl hah siangpahrang lah a tawm awh. Hote hmuen koe roum thuengnae BAWIPA koe a sak awh. Sawl hoi Isarelnaw teh puenghoi a lunghawi awh.
