< 1 Samuel 13 >

1 Saul was ruling for less than a year, when he ruled during year two over Israel,
Sawl ni kum touh a uk teh Isarelnaw apâhni kum a uknae kum dawk,
2 that Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel, of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the hill country of Bethel, and one thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. And the rest of the people he sent away, each to his own home.
Sawl ni Isarelnaw tami 3,000 touh a rawi. Tami 2000 touh teh Mikmash hoi Bethel mon dawk Sawl koe ao awh teh, 1,000 touh teh Benjamin ram Gilead vah Jonathan koe ao awh. Alouknaw pueng teh amamouh onae koe rim dawk lengkaleng a ban sak.
3 Now Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines that was at Gibeah, and the Philistines heard of it. Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, "Let the Hebrews hear."
Jonathan ni Geba vah Filistin kho ramveng a thei e hah Filistinnaw ni a thai awh. Sawl ni Hebrunaw ni hai thai naseh a titeh, ram pueng dawk mongka a ueng sak.
4 All Israel heard that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel had become repulsive to the Philistines. So the people were called out to join Saul at Gilgal.
Isarel miphunnaw ni Filistin kho ramveng Sawl ni a thei e hah, Filistinnaw han Isarelnaw teh panuetthopounge lah ao e a thai awh navah, Gilgal kho kaawm e Sawl koe cei hanelah tamimaya teh a kaw awh.
5 The Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel, and brought up against Israel three thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude: and they came up, and camped in Michmash, eastward of Beth Aven.
Filistinnaw teh Isarelnaw tuk hanelah, a kamkhueng awh. Rangleng 30,000, marangransanaw 6,000 hoi tuipui rai e sadi patetlah kapap e ransanaw ao awh teh Bethaven kho Kanîtholae Mikmash kho dawk a roe awh.
6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in trouble (for the people were in a difficult situation), then the people hid themselves in caves and thickets, among the rocks, and in pits and cisterns.
Isarelnaw ni takikatho poung e thung ka o tie a panue awh navah, atangawn talung kâko, buruk thung, atangawn talungnaw e rahak vah, tumdum e thung, talai kâko dawk a kâhro awh.
7 Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
Hebru miphunnaw tangawn Jordan tui namran Gad hoi Gilead ram dawk a kâran awh. Sawl teh Gilgal vah ao. Tamihu ni taki pâyaw laihoi a hnuk a kâbang awh.
8 And he stayed seven days, according to the time that Samuel had said. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the people began to abandon him.
Samuel ni hnin a khoe e patetlah hnin 7 touh a ring. Hatei Samuel teh Gilgal vah tho hoeh, a hnukkâbang e naw ni ahni teh a kâran takhai awh.
9 Saul said, "Bring here the burnt offering to me, and the peace offerings." He offered the burnt offering.
Sawl ni hmaisawi thuengnae hoi roum thuengnae kai koe thokhai awh atipouh. Hottelah hmaisawi thuengnae a sak.
10 It came to pass that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, look, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.
Hmaisawi thuengnae a sak hnukkhu, Samuel a tho teh Sawl ni ahni kâhmo hanelah a dawn.
11 Samuel said, "What have you done?" Saul said, "Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash;
Samuel ni bangmaw na sak atipouh. Sawl ni taminaw ni be na kâran takhai teh, atueng khoe e hnin dawk na tho hoeh. Filistinnaw Mikmash vah be a kamkhueng awh toe tie ka thai.
12 therefore I said, 'Now the Philistines will come down on me to Gilgal, and I haven't entreated the favor of Jehovah.' I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering."
Hatdawkvah, Filistinnaw ni Gilgal vah na la tuk awh toe. BAWIPA koe pahrennae hei hane hai ka sak hoeh rah. Hatdawkvah, hmaisawi thuengnae teh sak hoeh laipalah coung hoeh toe telah ati.
13 Samuel said to Saul, "You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of Jehovah your God, which he commanded you; for now Jehovah would have established your kingdom on Israel forever.
Samuel ni Sawl koe pathu poung lahoi na sak toe. BAWIPA Cathut e kâpoelawk na tarawi hoeh toe. Na tarawi pawiteh BAWIPA ni Isarelnaw lathueng uknaeram kâ pou a caksak han.
14 But now your kingdom shall not continue. Jehovah has sought for himself a man after his own heart, and Jehovah has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept that which Jehovah commanded you."
Atuteh nange uknaeram cak mahoeh toe. BAWIPA ni ama lungkayouk e a tawng teh, a tami lathueng vah kahrawikung lah o hane BAWIPA ni kâ a poe toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e kâpoelawk na tarawi hoeh toe.
15 And Samuel arose and departed from Gilgal, and the rest of the people went up after Saul to meet him after the men of war, when they had come up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people who were present with him, about six hundred men.
Samuel a thaw teh Gilgal kho hoi Benjamin ram Gibeah vah a takhang. Sawl ni ama koe kaawm e a touk teh 600 tabang a pha.
16 Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin: but the Philistines camped in Michmash.
Sawl hoi a capa Jonathan hoi ahnimouh koe rei kaawm e Benjamin ram Geba vah ao awh rah. Hatei, Filistinnaw teh Mikmash vah a tungpup awh.
17 The spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way that leads to Ophrah, to the land of Shual;
Filistinnaw e roenae hmuen koehoi taran ahu kathum touh ni a cei awh teh, Shual ram, Ophrah lah a cei awh.
18 and another company turned the way to Beth Horon; and another company turned toward the border that overlooks the valley of Zeboim.
Ahu buet touh ni, Bethhoron koelae lam, ahu buet touh ni Zeboiim yon kahrawngum khori koelae lam a dawn awh.
19 Now there was no blacksmith found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines had said, "Otherwise the Hebrews will make swords or spears."
Isarel abuemlah dawk sumkadêinaw buet touh boehai hmu hane awm hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Filistinnaw ni Hebrunaw teh tahroe hoi tahloi sakpayon vaih telah ati awh dawk doeh.
20 But all Israel would go down to the Philistines, each to sharpen his plowshare, mattock, axe, and sickle;
Hottelah, Isarel taminaw teh tawkso thoseh, thunha thoseh, cakâ, tangkounnaw kata hanelah Filistinnaw koe ouk a ceikhai awh.
21 and the charge was one payim for the plowshares and for the mattocks, and three shekels for picks and axes and to set the goads.
Tawkso, thunha, a hâ kathum touh samphei e tawkso, cakâ hoi sâw aphu teh Shekel phek touh doeh.
22 So on the day of the battle of Michmash there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and his son Jonathan had them.
Hatdawkvah, taran tuknae hnin dawk Sawl hoi Jonathan tinaw hoi rei kaawm e ransanaw e kut dawk, tahloi tahroe awm hoeh. Sawl hoi Jonathan koe dueng doeh ao.
23 The garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
Hat hoi Filistin ramvengnaw teh Mikmash rakan hanelah hoi a cei awh.
