1 Samuel 1
1 Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim, of the hill country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite:
Masang laiyin Elkanah kiti mikhat Ramah kho thinglhang gam molsang Ramathiam Zophim mun’ah anacheng in ahi. Ama chu Jeroham chapa, Elihu chapa, Tohu chapa, Zuph chapa, Ephriam mi ahi.
2 and he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
Elkanah in ji ni aneiyin, Hannah le Peninnah ahi. Peninnah in cha aneiyin, ahin Hannah vang'in aneipoi.
3 And this man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice unto the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests unto the LORD, were there.
Elkanah hi kumseh leh Shiloh a Pakai van gam sepaite henga gan kilhaina maicham semdin acheyin ahi. Hiche lai chun Eli Pakai thempupan chapa ni aneiyin ahi, amani min chu Hopni le Phinehe ahilhone.
4 And when the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters portions:
Elkanah hin gan kilhaina abolni tengle achan dingdol sachan chu Peninnah le achate apeyin ahi.
5 but unto Hannah he gave a double portion: for he loved Hannah, but the LORD had shut up her womb.
Chule Hannah angailut jeh chun, Pakaiyin anaobu akhapeh jeh chun, sachan chan khat bou apeyin ahi.
6 And her rival provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb.
Chumale Pakaiyin Hannah chu anaobu akhapeh jeh chun, Peninnah in jong Hannah chu noise tah in alunghan han nadin totnopnan abolyin ahi.
7 And [as] he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.
Kumlhun seh leh abang bang ahiyingin-Hannah Pakai hou dinga Houin'a achetengle Peninnah kitinu hin phin lunghang jin, hijeh chun amanu akapin anjong aneji tapon ahi.
8 And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons?
“Ipi jeh’a naka ham, Hannah?” Elkanah in adongin, “Ibola an nelouva umah nahim? Chule ibola lungkhama um nahim? Kei neinei hime-chapa somkhat neiho sanga kaphatchom joh louham? ati.
9 So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon his seat by the door post of the temple of the LORD.
Amahon Shiloh’a gan kilhaina anneh, twidon achaiphat’un, Hannah akipatdoh in taoding in achetai. Eli thempu chu Pakai houin khombul khatna touna chunga touva ahi.
10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.
Hannah vang chu lhase beh seh jengin, Pakai henga ataovin, lhasetah in akapjah in ahi.
11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.
Chule amanun kitepna khat aneiyin, “O Van gam Sepaite Pakai, gentheiya ka kana neihin velhin lang kataona neihin ngailhah peh inlang ‘chapa khat neipetan,’” ati.
12 And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth.
Amanu Pakai henga ataopet’in Eli thempun ane phunchu ana mulhin ahi.
13 Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.
Anephu achaloh chu amun, ahinlah ataogin aw chu ajapoi, ageldan in amanu hin ju adonkham hinte ati ahi.
14 And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.
Aman Hannah jah’a “Hilai munna hi jukham puma nahung ham? Najukham chu paidoh loijin,” ati.
15 And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I poured out my soul before the LORD.
“Kahipoi, kapu!” tin adonbut’e, “Keiman ju kadonpoi, chule khamnathei ho jong kadonpoi, ahinlah kei hi numei genthei chungnung kahi, Pakai agsunga hi kahinna pumpia thuseijoh kahibouve,” ati.
16 Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation have I spoken hitherto.
“Keima numei phalouvin neigel hihbeh in! Ahinlah lung genthei puma taojing jengjoh kahibouve,” ati.
17 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thy petition that thou hast asked of him.
Hiche chung thu ahin Elin hitin ana seipeh in ahi, “Lungmongin chetan, Israel Pathen in nathilthum jouse chu nasan peh intin phatthei naboh hen.”
18 And she said, Let thy servant find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more [sad].
Hannah in jong, “Oh hepu kakipah e!” atin, akinunglen an anepantai, alungkham tapon ahi.
19 And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.
Ajingkah khovah matah’in ainsung pumpi athouvun, Pakai houkit dingin ache tauve. Chujou’in ain’u Ramah ah ahung kile kit tauvin ahi.
20 And it came to pass, when the time was come about, that Hannah conceived, and bare a son; and she called his name Samuel, [saying], Because I have asked him of the LORD.
Chule Hannah chun aphat chan, naosen pasal khat aneitai. Amanun jong amin Samuel asahtai, ajeh chu “Ama ding’a hi Pakai koma kathum ahi,” ati.
21 And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.
Akum kit’in Elkanah le ainsung mite jouse kum kichaiya gan kilhaina-a Pakai hou ding in akitol kit tauve.
22 But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, [I will not go up] until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide for ever.
Ahinlah Hannah chu anache tapon ahi. Ainneipu komah hitin aseiyin, “Naosen aletdom kahsen ngah hitin kumkit tengle keiman hinpui ingting, imatih chana dingin Pakai toh umden tante,” ati.
23 And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only the LORD establish his word. So the woman tarried and gave her son suck, until she weaned him.
Nasei chu aphaselle tin Elkanah in pha asatai. “Tutadin hichea hin uminlang, Pakaiyin nakitepna bang in napanpi hen.” Hijeh chun amanu inah aumin, naosen aletdom kahsen aumpin ahi.
24 And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of meal, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child was young.
Chuin naosen ahunglet domphat in, Hannah in Shiloh a pon-in ah ahinpuiyin ahi. Amahon bongchal kumthum lhingsa khat toh ahinpui thauvin, changbong neldisel Ephah dimkhat toh apon lengpitwi peng thei khat dimset toh akidop’in naosen chapang chu Shiloh khoa Pakai houna in ah ahin puilut tai, naosen chu chapang chabou ahi nalaiye.
25 And they slew the bullock, and brought the child to Eli.
Bongchal atha jou phat’un amahon naosen chu Eli thempu kom ahin puilut tauve.
26 And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD.
“Kapuu, neigeldoh em?” tin Hannah in adong in ahi. “Keima kum tampi hilai muna Pakai henga anatao jing numei nu chu kahi,” ati.
27 For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him:
“Pakai koma hiche chapa hi eipeh dia ana taojing kahin, Pakaiyin kataona eidonbut pen tan ahi,” ati.
28 wherefore I also have granted him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he is granted to the LORD. And he worshipped the LORD there.
“Tun keiman amahi Pakai henga kahin pehdoh ahitai. Ahinkho lhumkeiya dinga kapehdoh ahitai. Hichun amahon hikoma chun Pakai chibai aboh tauve.
