1 Samuel 13
1 Saul was [thirty] years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years over Israel.
Saul mah saningto uk moe, Israel kaminawk nuiah saning hnetto thung siangpahrang ah oh pacoengah,
2 And Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel; whereof two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the mount of Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
Saul mah Israel kaminawk sang thumto qoih; kami sang hnetto loe angmah hoi nawnto Mikmash hoi Bethel mae nuiah oh o, kami sangto loe Benjamin prae Gibeah vangpui ah Jonathan hoi nawnto ohsak. Kanghmat kaminawk loe angmacae im ah patoeh boih.
3 And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.
Jonathan mah Geba vangpui ah kaom Philistin kaminawk to tuk; to tamthang to Philistinnawk mah thaih o. Saul mah prae thung ih Hebru kaminawk boih tahngai oh, tiah mongkah to uengsak.
4 And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten the garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also was had in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.
Saul mah Philistinnawk to tuk pongah, Philistinnawk mah Israel kaminawk to panuet o ti, tiah Israel kaminawk mah thaih o naah, kaminawk nawnto amkhueng o moe, Saul abomh hanah Gilgal vangpui ah caeh o.
5 And the Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea shore in multitude: and they came up, and pitched in Michmash, eastward of Beth-aven.
Philistinnawk loe Israel kaminawk tuk hanah hrang lakok sang quithumto, hrang angthueng kami sang tarukto maeto ah amkhueng o; misatuh kaminawk loe tuipui taeng ih savuet zetto pop o; nihcae loe caeh o tahang moe, Beth-Aven vangpui ni angyae bangah kaom, Mikmash vangpui ah atai o.
6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait, (for the people were distressed, ) then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in holds, and in pits.
Israel kaminawk mah kaicae loe raihaih thungah ni ka oh o boeh, tiah panoek o naah (kaminawk loe poek angpho o), to pacoengah kaminawk loe thlungkhaw thungah, thing kathah thungah, lungsong thungah, hmuensang nui hoi tangqom khaw thungah anghawk o.
7 Now some of the Hebrews had gone over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
Thoemto Hebru kaminawk loe Jordan vapui angkat o moe, Gad hoi Gilead prae bangah caeh o. Saul loe Gilgal vangpui ah oh; kaminawk boih anih hnukah mawnhhaih hoiah bang o.
8 And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had [appointed]: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
Samuel mah khaeh ih atue baktih toengah, Saul mah ni sarihto thung zing; toe Samuel Gilgal ah angzo ai pongah, Saul ih kaminawk loe anghaeh o phang.
9 And Saul said, Bring hither the burnt offering to me, and the peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.
To pongah Saul mah, Hmai angbawnhaih hoi angdaeh angbawnhaih sak hanah hmuen to kai khaeah na sin oh, tiah a naa. Anih mah hmai angbawnhaih to sak.
10 And it came to pass that, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.
Anih mah hmai angbawnhaih sak pacoengah, Samuel to phak; Saul loe caeh moe, Samuel to dawt.
11 And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash;
Samuel mah, Timaw na sak? tiah a naa. Saul mah, Kaminawk kai khae hoi anghaeh o phang boeh, nang loe na khaeh ih atue ah na pha ai, Philistinnawk doeh Mikmash vangpui ah atai o;
12 therefore said I, Now will the Philistines come down upon me to Gilgal, and I have not entreated the favour of the LORD: I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering.
Philistinnawk loe ka ohhaih Gilgal vangpui ah kai tuk hanah angzo o tih boeh; toe kai loe Angraeng khaeah ka hni ai vop bae hae, tiah ka poek pongah, ka tawt moe, hmai angbawnhaih ka sak halat boeh, tiah a naa.
13 And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.
Samuel mah, Amthuhaih hoiah hmuen hae na sak, na Angraeng Sithaw mah paek ih lok to na pazui ai; na pazui nahaeloe Israel nuiah siangpahrang ah na ohhaih to dungzan khoek to cak tih.
14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath appointed him to be prince over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.
Toe vaihi loe na prae hae cak poe mak ai boeh; Angraeng mah paek ih lok na pazui ai pongah, Angraeng mah angmah koeh ih kami to pakrong moe, angmah ih kaminawk zaehoikung to a qoih boeh, tiah a naa.
15 And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men.
To naah Samuel to angthawk, Gilgal vangpui to tacawt taak moe, Benjamin prae Gibeah vangpui ah caeh tahang. Saul mah angmah hoi nawnto kaom kaminawk to kroek naah, cumvai tarukto ni oh o.
16 And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Geba of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
Philistin kaminawk Mikmash vangpui ah atai o naah, Saul hoi a capa Jonathan, anih taengah kaom kaminawk loe Benjamin prae Gibeah vangpui ah oh o.
17 And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah, unto the land of Shual:
To pacoengah kami muk thaih abu thumtonawk loe Philistinnawk ataihaih ahmuen hoiah tacawt o, abu maeto loe Shual prae Ophrah vangpui bangah caeh o;
18 and another company turned the way to Beth-horon: and another company turned the way of the border that looketh down upon the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
kalah abu maeto loe Beth-Horon vangpui caehhaih loklam ah caeh o, thumto haih abu maeto loe praezaek caehhaih loklam ah kaom, Zeboim azawn ramri bangah caeh o.
19 Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears:
Israel prae thung boihah sum daengh kop kami maeto doeh om ai vop, to pongah Philistine kaminawk mah, Hebru kaminawk mah tayae hoi sumsen sah o thaih moeng tih, tiah a mawnh o.
20 but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock;
To pongah Israel kaminawk loe, laikok toksak naah patoh ih sum, kalen taoi, tahmawh kamsum taoi hoi cakanawk to taak hanah, Philistinnawk khaeah caeh o tathuk.
21 yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes; and to set the goads.
To pacoengah laikok atokhaih hmuennawk, taoi, aha thumto kaom sumnawk, caka hoi tahmawh kamsum taoinawk to taak hanah, phoisa paek han angaih.
22 So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found.
To pongah misatukhaih niah, Saul hoi Jonathan ai ah loe, Saul taengah kaom kaminawk thungah mi doeh a ban ah haita hoi palaa sin kami om ai.
23 And the garrison of the Philistines went out unto the pass of Michmash.
Thoemto Philistin kaminawk loe Mikmash vangpui to poeng hanah caeh o.
