1 Samuel 16
1 And YHWH says to Samuel, “Until when are you mourning for Saul, and I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go, I send you to Jesse the Beth-Lehemite, for I have seen among his sons a king for Myself.”
Pakaiyin Samuel koma, “Nangman phat sottah Saul chungchanga pul nadou chu phaset tante, keiman ama chu Israelte leng ahina akona kapaidoh ahitai, hijeh chun nathao theiyah olive tao kithun dim inlang Bethlehem’ah chetan. Hiche khopi cheng amin Jesse kitipa chu holdoh in, ajeh chu keiman achate lah’a khat chu leng dinga kalhendohsa hitai,” ati.
2 And Samuel says, “How do I go? When Saul has heard, then he has slain me.” And YHWH says, “You take a heifer of the herd in your hand, and have said, I have come to sacrifice to YHWH;
Ahin Samuel in adongin, “Keiman hichu iti kabolthei ding ham? Hichepi chu Saul in jadoh henlang hileh eitha loding ahi,” ati. Pakaiyin adonbut in, “Bong ala khat kikai inlang chen, chule Pakaiya dinga gan kilhaina-a dinga hung kahi tin,” ati.
3 and you have called for Jesse in the sacrifice, and I cause you to know that which you do, and you have anointed for Me him of whom I speak to you.”
“Chule gan kilhaina ah Jesse kouvin, chuteng keiman achate lah’a koipen chu kei dinga thao nanuding ham ti chu nahetsah nange,” ati.
4 And Samuel does that which YHWH has spoken, and comes to Beth-Lehem, and [the] elderly of the city tremble to meet him, and [one] says, “Is your coming peace?”
Chuin Samuel in Pakaiyin ahilbang chun aboltai. Ama Bethlehem alhun phat chun, khopi sunga um upa ho jouse chu kitihotpum pum’in akimu piuvin, “Ipi adihlou umham? Chamna puma nahungu hinam?” tin ana dongun ahi.
5 And he says, “Peace; I have come to sacrifice to YHWH, sanctify yourselves, and you have come in with me to the sacrifice”; and he sanctifies Jesse and his sons, and calls them to the sacrifice.
Hichun Samuel in, “Henge, keima gan kilhaina a dinga hunga kahi, nabonchauvin Pakaiya dingin kisutheng unlang gankilhaina’a ding in cheuhite,” tin Samuel in adonbut’in ahi. Chuin Samuel in Jesse le achate akou khom’in kisuhthengna kin agong’in, chule pumgo thilto a jong ajao diuvin atem in ahi.
6 And it comes to pass, in their coming in, that he sees Eliab and says, “Surely His anointed [is] here before YHWH.”
Chuin amaho chu ahunglhun phat’un, aman Eliab chu khatvei aven chule alungthim ah, “Pakaiyin alhendohpa hitei yinte!” tin agel’e
7 And YHWH says to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance, and at the height of his stature, for I have rejected him; for [it is] not as man sees—for man looks at the eyes, and YHWH looks at the heart.”
Ahinlah Pakaiyin Samuel koma aseiyin, “Nangman atahsapoh ahiloule asandan chun vehih-in, ajeh chu keiman ama chu kadeilou ahi, ijeh inem itileh Pakaiyin mihem thilvet bang avet ahipoi, ajeh chu mihem’in apolam melput avet ahin, Pakaiyin vang alungsung avet ahi,” ati.
8 And Jesse calls to Abinadab, and causes him to pass by before Samuel; and he says, “Indeed, YHWH has not fixed on this [one].”
Chuin Jesse in achapa Abinadab chu Samuel anaijep’a amasang’a ding din asollin ahilah Samuel in, “Ama jong hi Pakai lhendohsa chu ahipoi,” ati.
9 And Jesse causes Shammah to pass by, and he says, “Indeed, YHWH has not fixed on this [one].”
Aban’in Jesse in Shimea ahin koudoh in, ahinlah Samuel in, “Ama jong hi Pakaiyin alhendoh chu ahipoi,” ati.
10 And Jesse causes seven of his sons to pass by before Samuel, and Samuel says to Jesse, “YHWH has not fixed on these.”
Chuti chun Jesse chate sagi jen chu Samuel angsung’ah ahinpuilut in, ahin Samuel in Jesse adongin, “Pakaiyin hiche hohi khatcha alhengpoi,” ati.
11 And Samuel says to Jesse, “Are the young men finished?” And he says, “Yet the youngest has been left; and behold, he delights himself among the flock”; and Samuel says to Jesse, “Send and take him, for we do not turn around until his coming in here.”
Chuin Samuel in Jesse jah’a, “Nachate hichang bou hi hitam?” tia adohle, aman jong, “Aneopen khat aum nalaiye, ahinlah amahi in’ah aumpoi, loujaova kelngoi le kelcha ho aching’e,” tin adonbut in ahile Samuel in, “Ama chu gakou sah’un, ama chu ahung lhun tokah’a, toujong i-tou loudiu chule anneh twidon jong ibol loudiu ahi,” ati.
12 And he sends, and brings him in, and he [is] ruddy, with beautiful eyes, and of good appearance; and YHWH says, “Rise, anoint him, for this [is] he.”
Hitichun Jesse in akou ding mi asollin ahi. Amachu mi tahsa phatah chule amit-ha hoitah ahi. Chuin Pakaiyin, “Thao nuding chu amahi ahi,” ati.
13 And Samuel takes the horn of oil, and anoints him in the midst of his brothers, and the Spirit of YHWH prospers over David from that day and onward; and Samuel rises and goes to Ramath.
David asopiteho lah’a konin ahung dingdoh’in, hichun Samuel’in olive thao alan thao chu anu tai. Hiche nia kipan chun Pakai Lhagao chu thanei tah’in David chung’ah ahungchu tan ahi. Chuin Samuel Ramah ah akile tai.
14 And the Spirit of YHWH turned aside from Saul, and a spirit of sadness from YHWH terrified him;
Hitichun Pakai lhagaovin Saul adalhatan ahi, chule Pakaiyin ahinsol lhagao engse khat’in Saul chu lunggimna le tijatnan abolgim lheh jeng in ahi.
15 and the servants of Saul say to him, “Now behold, a spirit of sadness [from] God is terrifying you;
Saul asohte ho lah’a phabep khat in akomah, “Tua hi Pathen a kona lhagao gilou khat in nasuhgim ahi kaheuve,” atiuve.
16 now let our lord command your servants before you [that] they seek a skillful man playing on a harp, and it has come to pass, in the spirit of sadness [from] God being on you, that he has played with his hand and [it is] well with you.”
“Hijeh chun, kapu, neisol’unlang semjang saithem khat gahol unge. Hitia lhagao engsen nahinphah phat phat le ama chun semjang saiyin tin, chuteng damdoh kitji tan nate,” atiuve.
17 And Saul says to his servants, “Now provide for me a man playing well—then you have brought [him] to me.”
Hichun Saul in, “Apha lheh jenge, cheuvinlang semjang saithem tah mikhat gahol unlang, chule ama chu kahenga hin puijun,” ati.
18 And one of the servants answers and says, “Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth-Lehemite, skillful in playing, and a mighty, virtuous man, and a man of battle, and intelligent in word, and a man of form, and YHWH [is] with him.”
Chuin asohte ho lah’a mi khat in Saul jah’ah, “Jesse chapateho lah’a khat, Bethlehem mi, semjang saithem tah, hiche goh chu hilouva mihangsan, gal-hat, galbolmi, ijakai hekhen themtah, chule melhoitah, chujongle Pakaiyin aumpi mi ahi,” ati.
19 And Saul sends messengers to Jesse and says, “Send to me your son David, who [is] with the flock.”
Chuin Saul in thupolea mikhat Jesse henga thulhut ding’in asollin, “Nachapa David kelngoiching chu neihinsol peh in,” ati.
20 And Jesse takes a donkey, bread, and a bottle of wine, and one kid of the goats, and sends [them] by the hand of his son David to Saul.
Saul in David athum chu Jesse in anop peh’in, changlhah toh, lengpi twi haikhat, chule kelnou khat, sangan khat apohsah in ahi.
21 And David comes to Saul, and stands before him, and he loves him greatly; and he is a bearer of his weapons.
Chuin David Saul kom’ah achen, Saul chu ajen pan tan ahi, Saul in David angailu lheh jeng in chule David chu Saul galvonpon apang tai.
22 And Saul sends to Jesse, saying, “Please let David stand before me, for he has found grace in my eyes.”
Chuin Saul in Jesse koma thu athot in, “Lungset tah in David hi kakomah kakin bol in pang jeng ta hen, ajeh chu achung’a kalung alhailheh jengin ahi,” ati.
23 And it has come to pass, in the spirit of [sadness from] God being on Saul, that David has taken the harp, and played with his hand, and Saul has refreshment and gladness, and the spirit of sadness has turned aside from off him.
Chule Pathen in ahinsol lhagao engse chun Saul ahinphah tengle, David in semjang chu asaipeh ji teng, Saul chu ahung limdohjin chule lhagao engse chun adalhaji in ahi.
