< 1 Samuel 13 >
1 Saul was ruling for less than a year, when he ruled during year two over Israel,
Saul leng’a ahungpan chun akum somthum alhingtai chule kum somli le ni sungin lengvai anapon ahi.
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.
Saul in Israel sepaiho lah’a konin atumbeh in mi sangthum alheng doh in, mi sangni chu Micmash le Bethel molsanga umpin, sangkhat vangchu Saul chapa Jonathan toh Benjamin gam Gibeah khopi’ah aum un chule mipi amoh cheng chu a inlam cheh uva asoltan ahi.
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."
Hiche phat chomkhat jouvin, Geba ah Philistine sepai touho chu Jonathan in asat in ahile, Philistinete chu ajoutauve. Hijeh chun Saul in gamsung tin ah kelki sumkon amut in, chule hitin aseiye, “Hebrew mipi te, hiche hi ngai tem’un, Philistine te dounan thoudoh un,” ati.
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.
Israel mite jousen Saul in Philistinete chu Geba ngahmun khat abulu in asuhmang jeh in Philistine til’a sangin Isarelte chu ahot tauve tithu ajahdoh phat un, Israel sepai apumpi chu Gilgal’a Saul kithopi dia kikhom khom din thupeh anei tauvin ahi.
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.
Chuin Philistinete chu Israel tetoh kisat ding in akigong un, asakol kangtalai’u sangthum, sakol touthem mihem sang gup akigong’un chule mipi galsat ding chu twikhangle kam'a neldi jat hellin atam’un ahi.
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.
Israel mite nochimto’a aum’u ahetdoh phat’un, mipi techu atijauvin alungdong gam tauvin, songko ho’ah, hamboh lah’ah, chule kotong dung ah akisel gam taove.
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.
Mi phabep Jordan vadung agalkai’un, Gad le Gilead gamsung ah akisellun ahi. Hiche kahlah’a chun Saul Gilgal ah aume chule amite chu tijat in akihot hot jengun ahi.
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.
Saul in Samuel chu nisagi jen angah in, hitichun Samuel in jong akitepna banga Gilgal’a ahung thei tahlou jeh in, mipite akithe cheh gam tauvin ahi.
9 Saul said, "Bring here the burnt offering to me, and the peace offerings." He offered the burnt offering.
Chuin Saul in, “Govam thilto hole chamna thilto neihin choi pehun “atin ahi. Chule Saul amatah in govam thilto ho lhandohna aneitan ahi.
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.
Saul in govam thilto lhandohna aboljou tah’in, Samuel jong ahung lhungpaiyin, chuin Saul chun kimutopi a chibai boldin apotdoh in ahi.
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;
Hichun Samuel in, “Ipi bolla nahim?” tia adohle, Saul in jong adonbutin, “Nangla nikho kitep nabanga hung louva, mipi ho jouse keija kona akithe cheh uva, chule Philistine ten Micmash a akikhop khom’u kamu phatna kanabol ahitai,” ati.
12 therefore I said, 'Now the Philistines will come down on me to Gilgal, and I haven't entreated the favor of YHWH.' I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering."
Hijeh a chu kasei ahi, “Tua hi Philistine te eiho dou dinga Gilgal’a kigosadem a um u ahitan, Pakai henga panpina jeng jong kanathum man lou ahitai, hiche jeh’a chu govamna thilto kanabol ahtai,” ati.
13 Samuel said to Saul, "You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of YHWH your God, which he commanded you; for now YHWH would have established your kingdom on Israel forever.
Hichun Samuel in adonbut in, “Nangoltave, nangman Pakaiyin nathupeh ho nanit tapoi, asei angai lechun Pakaiyin Israelte lenga imatih chan’a dinga natung jing ta dinga,” ati.
14 But now your kingdom shall not continue. YHWH has sought for himself a man after his own heart, and YHWH has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept that which YHWH commanded you."
“Ahinla, tua hi naleng gam kichaitei ding ahitai. Pakaiyin ama lungthim he mikhat ahol ahitai. Pakaiyin amite chunga vaihom ding hi, lhendohsa akoi ahitai. Ijeh inem iti leh nangin thupeh nanit tapoi,” ati.
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.
Chuin Samuel in Gilgal adalhan ajotna ding’a akichetai. Adanghon vang asepaite kithopi dia che Saul nung ajuitauve. Hichun amaho Gilgal apat Benjamin gamsung’a Gibeah ah ache toutauve. Hichun Saul in asepaite ama nungjui ho chu avetoh in ahile pasal mi jagup tobang asimdohtai.
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.
Chuin Saul le achapa Jonathan chule amani toh umkhom miho chu Benamin gamsung’a Geba a chun aum tauve, ahinlah Philistine mihon Micmash a panmun asem’un ahi.
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;
Hichun Philistine te, mibulu ding loithum chun panmuna kon chun ahung potdoh'un, loikhat chu Shual gam Oprah jotna lampi chu ajon’un,
18 and another company turned the way to Beth Horon; and another company turned toward the border that overlooks the valley of Zeboim.
Chule loikhat chun lhumlam a um Beth-horon lam chu ajon un, chule loi khat chun Zeboim phaicham gamthip kingah na gamgichin lampi ajot’un ahi.
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."
Hichelai chun Israel gam pumpia chun thihkheng khatcha ana umpon ahi, ajeh chu Philistine ten achuti louva ahile Hebrew miten chemjam le tengcha kikhen get unte atiu ahi.
20 But all Israel would go down to the Philistines, each to sharpen his plowshare, mattock, axe, and sickle;
Hijeh a chu Israel techu amitakip langkon, aloukaina, aheichau chule atupheng’u, akhet hem nom uva ahile akheng dinga Philistine te henga chesuh ji ahiuve.
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.
Tupheng, langkon thih, thihka, tucha thihmol, heicha chang suh hemna man chu paisa khat tobangbep ahi.
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.
Chuti chun chuche nikhoa kon’in Saul le Jonathan toh kiloi miho khut’a chun chemjam le tengcha khat cha, Saul le achapa Jonathan tilou adang akimupon ahi.
23 The garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
Philistine sepaihon ho chun Micmash lampi chang din achedoh un ahi.
