1 Samuel 12
1 Samuel said to all Israel, "Look, I have listened to your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you.
Samuel ni Isarelnaw pueng koe, khenhaw! kai koe na dei awh e pueng hah ka tarawi teh nangmouh siangpahrang na poe awh.
2 Now, look, the king walks before you; and I am old and gray-headed; and look, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my youth to this day.
Atu khenhaw! siangpahrang ni na hrawi awh toe. Kai hateh kamatong toe. Ka sam hai a po toe. Khenhaw! ka capanaw teh nangmouh koe ao awh teh, a nawca hoi sahnin totouh na hrawi awh toe.
3 Here I am. Testify against me before the LORD, and before his anointed. Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed, or from whose hand have I taken a bribe, or a shoe? Testify against me, and I will restore it to you."
Hivah ka o, BAWIPA hmalah hoi satui a awi e hmalah ka o. Dei awh haw. Apie maito maw ouk ka lawp. Apie la maw ouk ka lawp. Apimaw ouk ka hmuhma. Apimaw ouk ka pacekpahlek. Ka mit dawn sak hanlah api kut dawk e tadawngnae maw ouk ka ca. Koung na patho awh han telah atipouh.
4 They said, "You have not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither have you taken anything of any man's hand."
Ahnimouh ni na dum boi awh hoeh. Na pacekpahlek boi awh hoeh. Apie kut dawk e hno hai na lat boihoeh atipouh awh.
5 He said to them, "The LORD is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand." They said, "He is witness."
Samuel ni hai kaie kut dawk buetbuet touh hai nangmouh ni na hmu awh hoeh e hah BAWIPA teh nangmouh koe lah kapanuekkhaikung lah ao. Satui awi lah kaawm e hai kapanuekkhaikung lah ao telah ati. Ahnimouh ni hai ahni teh kapanuekkhaikung lah ao telah ati awh.
6 Samuel said to the people, "It is the LORD who appointed Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of Egypt.
Samuel ni taminaw koe, Mosi hoi Aron thaw ka poe niteh, Izip ram hoi na mintoenaw ka tâcawtkhai e hai BAWIPA doeh.
7 Now therefore stand still, that I may plead with you before the LORD and will recount for you all the righteous acts of the LORD, which he did to you and to your fathers.
Hatdawkvah, na mintoenaw koe hno kalan a saknae hah BAWIPA e hmalah pouk pouh thai nahanlah, atu sairasuepcalah kangdout awh.
8 "When Jacob went into Egypt, and the Egyptians oppressed them, and your fathers cried to the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, who brought your fathers out of Egypt, and made them to dwell in this place.
Jakop ni Izip ram a pha hnukkhu nangmae mintoenaw ni BAWIPA koe a hram awh navah, Mosi hoi Aron hah Cathut ni a patoun teh, ahnimouh ni nangmae mintoenaw hah Izip ram hoi a tâcokhai hnukkhu, ahnimanaw teh hete ram dawk ao sak awh.
9 "But they forgot the LORD their God; and he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the army of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab; and they fought against them.
BAWIPA Cathut hah a pahnim awh navah Hazar ransabawi Sisera kut dawk thoseh, Filistinnaw e kut dawk thoseh, Moab siangpahrang kut dawk thoseh, a yo teh ahnimanaw ni, ahnimanaw ni ahnimouh a tuk awh.
10 And they cried to the LORD, and they said, 'We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve you.'
BAWIPA koevah a hram awh teh, BAWIPA a pahnawt awh. Baal hoi Ashtaroth e thaw tawk awh kecu dawkvah, yon awh toe. Hatei sahnin tarannaw e kut dawk hoi na rungngang nateh na thaw ka tawk awh han telah a ti.
11 The LORD sent Jerubbaal, and Barak, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side; and you lived in safety.
BAWIPA ni Jerubbaal, Bendan, Jephthah, hoi Samuel tinaw a patoun teh, nangmanaw na tengpam e taran kut dawk hoi na rungngang awh teh, nangmanaw runae awm laipalah lungmawng lah na o awh.
12 "When you saw that Nahash the king of the people of Ammon came against you, you said to me, 'No, but a king shall reign over us;' when the LORD your God was your king.
Ammon miphunnaw e siangpahrang Nahash ni nangmouh na tuk awh hane hah, nangmouh ni na hmu awh navah nangmae Cathut teh nangmae siangpahrang nahlangva, telah nahoeh. Siangpahrang ni ma kaimouh na uk seh telah na ti awh.
13 Now therefore see the king whom you have chosen, and whom you have asked for: and look, the LORD has set a king over you.
Atu na hei e nangmouh ni na rawi e siangpahrang khenhaw! khenhaw! BAWIPA ni nangmae lathueng siangpahrang a rawi toe.
14 If you will fear the LORD, and serve him, and listen to his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, and both you and also the king who reigns over you are followers of the LORD your God, then he will rescue you.
Nangmouh ni BAWIPA na taki awh teh, BAWIPA e thaw na tawk awh pawiteh, BAWIPA e lawk na tarawi na ngâi awh pawiteh, nangmouh hoi nangmouh koe lawkcengkung siangpahrang hoi BAWIPA Cathut e hnuk na dawn awh pawiteh ahawi.
15 But if you will not listen to the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then the hand of the LORD will be against you, and against your king to destroy you.
Hatei Cathut e lawk na tarawi awh hoeh lah kâlawk na tapoe awh pawiteh, BAWIPA e a kut teh na mintoenaw e lathueng, runae a pha sak e patetlah nangmouh koehai a pha han.
16 "Now therefore stand still and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes.
BAWIPA ni nangmae na mithmu hno ka lentoe poung a sak hane hah, duem awm awh nateh khenhaw.
17 Isn't it wheat harvest today? I will call to the LORD, that he may send thunder and rain; and you shall know and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking for a king."
Sahnin catun anae tueng nahoehmaw. Kho rak sak hane hoi khoparit sak hanelah, kai ni Cathut ka kaw han. Hatnavah, siangpahrang na heinae kong dawk, BAWIPA mithmu vah yonnae kalenpoung na sak awh e na kâpanue awh vaiteh na hmu awh han telah a ti.
18 So Samuel called to the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.
Samuel ni BAWIPA a kaw teh, BAWIPA ni hote hnin dawk, kho a parit sak teh, kho a rak sak. Hat torei teh taminaw ni BAWIPA hoi Samuel hah a taki poung awh.
19 All the people said to Samuel, "Pray for your servants to the LORD your God, that we not die; for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask us a king."
Tamihunaw ni Samuel koevah, due awh hoeh nahan, BAWIPA na Cathut koe sannaw hanelah na ratoum pouh haw. Hettelah e Siangpahrang ka hei awh e heh, ka payonae kâthap sin e lah ao telah ati awh.
20 Samuel said to the people, "Do not be afraid. You have indeed done all this evil; yet do not turn aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart.
Samuel ni taminaw koevah, taket awh hanh. Kahawi hoeh e heh na sak awh katang doeh. Hatei BAWIPA e hnuk na kabang awh e phen laipalah, BAWIPA e thaw na lungthin katang hoi tawk awh.
21 Do not turn aside to go after vain things which can't profit nor deliver, for they are vain.
Banglahai ka cungkeihoehe hnukkâbang e lahoi phen awh hanh. Hawinae na poe mahoeh na rungngang thai mahoeh. Hotnaw teh a yawmyin doeh.
22 For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake, because it has pleased the LORD to make you a people to himself.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka lentoe e min kecu dawk BAWIPA ni a taminaw cettakhai mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a tami lah coung sak e hah BAWIPA a lunghawinae doeh.
23 Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will instruct you in the good and the right way.
Kai hateh, nangmouh han ratoumnae kâhatnae lahoi BAWIPA koe ka yonnae hoi kâhlat naseh. Kai ni nangmouh hah kahawi ni teh ka lamkahawi hoi lamkatang na pâtue awh han.
24 Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things he has done for you.
Nangmouh ni BAWIPA dueng mah taket awh haw, lungthin abuemlahoi yuemkamcu lah amae thaw tawk awh haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh hanelah, a sak e hno kalenpoung hah pouk awh haw.
25 But if you shall still do wickedly, you shall be swept away, both you and your king."
Nangmouh ni thoenae na sak awh rah pawiteh, nangmouh hoi nangmae siangpahrang khuehoi koung pâmit lah na o awh han telah atipouh.
