1 Samuel 4
1 And the word of Samuel is to all Israel, and Israel goes out to meet the Philistines for battle, and they encamp by Eben-Ezer, and the Philistines have encamped 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 set themselves in array to meet Israel, and the battle spreads itself, and Israel is struck before the Philistines, and they strike among the ranks 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 the people come into the camp, and [the] elderly of Israel say, “Why has YHWH struck us today before the Philistines? We take the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH from Shiloh to ourselves, and it comes into our midst, and He saves 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 And the people send to Shiloh, and they take from there the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH of Hosts, inhabiting the cherubim, and there [are] two sons of Eli with the Ark of the Covenant of God, Hophni and Phinehas.
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 it comes to pass, at the coming in of the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH to the camp, that all Israel shouts [with] a great shout, and the earth is moved.
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 the Philistines hear the noise of the shouting, and say, “What [is] the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews?” And they perceive that the Ark of YHWH has 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 are afraid, for they said, “God has come into the camp”; and they say, “Woe to us, for there has been nothing like this 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 to us, who delivers us out of the hand of these majestic gods? These [are] the gods who are striking the Egyptians with every plague 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 Strengthen yourselves, and become men, O Philistines, lest you do service to Hebrews, as they have done to you—then you have become men, and have fought.”
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 fight, and Israel is struck, and they each flee to his tents, and the slaughter is very great, and thirty thousand footmen of Israel fall;
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 has been taken, and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, have died.
BAWIPA e thingkong a lawp awh teh Eli capa Hophni hoi Phinehas hai a thei awh.
12 And a man of Benjamin runs out of the ranks, and comes into Shiloh, on that day, and his long robes [are] torn, and earth [is] on 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 he comes in, and behold, Eli is sitting on the throne by the side of the way, watching, for his heart has been trembling for the Ark of God, and the man has come into the city and declares [it], and all the city cries 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 Eli hears the noise of the cry and says, “What [is] the noise of this tumult?” And the man hurried, and comes in, and tells 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 And Eli is a son of ninety-eight years, and his eyes have stood, and he has not been able to see.
Eli teh kum 98 a pha toung dawkvah a mit hmawt thai hoeh toe.
16 And the man says to Eli, “I [am] he who has come out of the ranks, and I have fled out of the ranks today”; and he says, “What has been 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 who is bearing tidings answers and says, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and also a great slaughter has been among the people, and also your two sons have died—Hophni and Phinehas—and the Ark of God has been captured.”
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 comes to pass, at his mentioning the Ark of God, that he falls backward from off the throne, by the side of the gate, and his neck is broken, and he dies, for the man [is] old and heavy, and he has judged Israel [for] 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, wife of Phinehas, [is] pregnant, about to bear, and she hears the report of the taking of the Ark of God, that her father-in-law and her husband have died, and she bows, and bears, for her pains have turned on 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 at the time of her death, the women who are standing by her say, “Do not fear, for you have borne a son,” she has not answered, nor set her heart [to 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 calls the youth Ichabod, saying, “Glory has removed from Israel,” because of the taking of the Ark of God, 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 says, “Glory has removed from Israel, for the Ark of God has been taken.”
Hathnukkhu hoi BAWIPA e thingkong a la awh toung dawkvah, Isarel miphun a bawilennae a kahma toe telah a dei.
