1 Samuel 10
1 Then took Samuel a flask of oil, and poured out upon his head, and kissed him, —and said—Is it not, that Yahweh hath anointed thee over his inheritance, as leader?
Chuin Samuel in olive thao thei khat alan, Saul luchung’ah asunglhan achop’in ajah ah, “Keiman hiche kabolna ajeh chu Pakaiyin nangma Israel chunga lamkai dinga, panmun sanga dinga nalhendoh ahitai.
2 When thou departest, to-day, from me, then shalt thou find two men by the grave of Rachel, within the boundary of Benjamin, in Zelzah, —and they will say unto thee, The asses are found, which thou wentest to seek, and lo! thy father hath abandoned caring for the asses, and is concerned for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
Tunia hi nangma keija kona napotdoh tengle, Benjamin gamgi Zelzah-a Rachel lhan koma mini namu ding, sangan ho chu akimutai ti chu amanin aseilhon ding ahi. Napa sangan ho jeh’a nalungkham nachu akichaitan, tua hi nangni dinga lungkham ah ahi. Aman miho jah’ah kachapa namu uvem tin adongle le in ahi,” ati.
3 Then shalt thou pass on quickly from thence onwards, and come as far as the oak of Tabor, and there shall find thee there, three men going up unto God, at Bethel, —one, carrying three kids, and, another, carrying three cakes of bread, and, another, carrying a skin of wine;
“Chule chua kon chun chebe-lhon lechun, Tabor phaicham lhungin natin chua chun Bethel’a Pathen henga chetouva mithum nakimu topi ding, khat pan kelcha nou thum, khatpan changlhah thum chule khatpan lengpitwi haikhat achoi namu ding ahi.
4 then will they ask thee, of thy welfare, —and give thee two cakes of bread, which thou shalt receive at their hand.
Chule amaho chun chibai naboh diu, changlhah ni napeh dingu, hichu akhut uva kona nakisan ding ahi.
5 After that, shalt thou come unto the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines, —and it shall be, as thou comest in thither into the city, thou shalt light upon a band of prophets, coming down from the high place, and, before them, a harp, and a timbrel, and a flute, and a lyre, they having been moved to prophesy.
Chutengle Phlistine sepaiho umna Pathen lhaang’a chu nahung ding, chule hiche kho pia chu nahung tengle tumging, khongcha, kuli, selangdah, amasang uva hintho’a munsang’a kona hung kumlha themgao honkhat nakitopi ding, amaho chun gaothu asei dingu ahi.
6 Then will come suddenly upon thee, the Spirit of Yahweh, and thou shalt be moved to prophesy with them, —and shalt be changed into another man.
Hiche phatteng chule Pakai Lhagao thahattah’a nachung’uva hung chu ding, amahotoh gaothu nasei khom ding, chule michombeh khat nakiso ding ahi,” ati.
7 And it shall be, when these signs shall come unto thee, then act thou for thyself, as thou shalt find occasion, for, God, is with thee.
“Chule hiche melchihna hohi nachung’a ahunglhun tengle, Pathen in naumpi jeh chun Pathenin napuina lam lam chu bol jengin.
8 And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal, for lo! I am coming down unto thee, to offer up ascending-offerings, to sacrifice peace-offerings, —seven days, shalt thou tarry, until I come unto thee, then will I let thee know what thou shalt do.
Chutengle nangma keisangin Gilgal’a nachesuh ding, chule hikom’a chu ikimu’a govam kilhaina le chamna thilto gan kilhaina bol ding’a iki suhto ding ahi. Nangman hikoma’a chu ni sagi chan nei nga ding chule maban a nathilbol ding kaseipeh ding nahi,” ati.
9 And so it was, that, when he turned away to depart from Samuel, God gave him another heart, —and all these signs came to pass that day.
Hitichun Saul chu, Samuel’a kona kinungle dinga ache got chun, Pathen in ama lungchom khat apen, Hiche ni chun melchihna jouse chu aguilhung sohtai.
10 And, when they came thither to the hill, lo! a band of prophets coming to meet him, —then came suddenly upon him, the Spirit of God, and he was moved to prophesy in their midst.
Saul le asohpa Gilgal’a ahunglhun lhon phat’in, amahon themgao thah loi khat amaho langa ahung amuphat un, Pathen lhagao thahattah’in Saul chung’ah ahung chun, amatah jong chun gaothu aseiyin ahi.
11 And it came to pass, that, all who knew him aforetime, looked, and lo! with the prophets, he did prophesy. So the people said, one to another—What, now, hath befallen the son of Kish? Is, even Saul, among the prophets?
Chuin Saul anahe hochun, “Kish chapa, Saul jeng jong themgao hihi ngap hitam?” atiuve.
12 Then responded one of that place, and said, But who is, their father? For this cause, it became a proverb, Is, even Saul, among the prophets?
Chule chukoma ding miho lah khat’in, “Apateu itobang hijong leu, mijouse themgao hitheiya ham?” ati. Hichea pat a chu, “Saul jeng jong Themgao soh ngap hitam?” tia hung kiseipan ahi.
13 And, when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
Chuin Saul in gaothu aseijou phat’in, Pathen houna mun’ah ahung kaltouvin ahi.
14 Then said Saul’s uncle unto him, and unto his young man—Whither have ye been? And he said, To seek the asses, and, when they were nowhere, to be seen, we came unto Samuel.
Chuin Saul pangah pan ama le asohpa jah’a, “Hoiya nagache ham?” tia adoh leh “Sangan holla kache lhon ahin, ahinlah kamu lhonpon, Samuel dong dinga kache lhon ahi,” tin Saul in ana donbut’e.
15 And Saul’s uncle said, —Do tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said to you.
Apangah pan adong kit’in, “O Samuel in ipi naseipeh lhon em?” tin adongkit in ahi.
16 And Saul said unto his uncle, He, told, us that the asses were found, —but, as to the matter of the kingdom, he told him not what Samuel had said.
Saul in adonbut in, “Sangan chu akimutai tin eina seipeh lhonin,” ahi. Ahinlah Saul in apangah koma Samuel in lenggam thu asei chu, asedoh poi.
17 Then Samuel called out the people, unto Yahweh, at Mizpah,
Chujouvin Samuel in Pakai masang’ah Israel mipite jouse Mizpah muna kimuto din kouvin ahi.
18 and said unto the sons of Israel—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel: I myself, brought up Israel, out of Egypt, —and rescued you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that distressed you.
Ajah-uva, “Hichehi Pakai Israelte Pathen phondoh ahi: Keiman Egypt a konin kahin puidoh un, chule Egypt mite’a konin kahin huhdoh un, chule namdang mite jouse bol gentheina a konin kahin hoidoh in,
19 Yet, ye, to-day, have rejected your God, who, himself, hath been giving you salvation from all your calamities and your distresses, and ye have said to him: A king, shalt thou set over us, —Now, therefore, present yourselves before Yahweh, by your tribes, and by your thousands.
Ahin nagenthei nauva kona kahuhdoh vangun, na Pathen’u tunin napai tauve chule hitin nasei’un, i-dang sangin leng khat kadei uve natiuve. Hijeh chun tun, naphung nachang uvin, na nampumpiu vin Pakai ang’ah ding in kigong un,” ati.
20 And, when Samuel had brought near all the tribes of Israel, then was taken the tribe of Benjamin.
Chuin Samuel in Israel phung jouse Pakai masang’ah ahin puikhom’in chule vang asangin Benjamin phung chu alhengtai.
21 And, when he had brought near the tribe of Benjamin, by their families, then was taken the family of Matri, —and, when he had brought near the family of Matri, man by man, then was taken Saul the son of Kish; so they sought him, but he was not to be found.
Benjamin phung insung jouse chu akoukhom kit in, chule amaho lah’a chun Matri insung alhengdoh kit tan ahi. Achainan Kish cahpa Saul chu amaho insung lah’a kon chun ana lhengdoh un ahi. Ahinlah amachu ahol’u le aholmo tauve.
22 Then asked they again of Yahweh, Hath there yet to come in hither a man? And Yahweh said, Lo! he, hath hid himself among the stores.
Chuin amahon Pakai adoh uleh, “Thilkeo lah’a akiselle,” tin Pakaiyin ahin donbut’e.
23 So they ran, and fetched him thence, and, when he presented himself in the midst of the people, then was he [seen to be] taller than any of the people, from his shoulders and upwards.
Hitichun amahon jong Saul chu agamudoh uvin ahin puidoh uva mipi lah’a adinleh, alengkouva pat chunglamse chu mijouse sangin asangjon ahi.
24 And Samuel said unto all the people—Have ye seen him whom Yahweh hath chosen, that there is none like him, among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said—Let the king live!
Chuin Samuel in mijouse jah ah, “Hiche mipa hi ahi Pakijin na lengpa ding uva alhen chu ahi, Israelte lah’a ama tobang adang aumpoi,” ati. Chuin mipiten, “Lengpa damsot hen,” tin asam’un ahi.
25 Then Samuel declared unto the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a scroll, and laid it up before Yahweh. And Samuel sent away all the people, every man to his own house.
Chuin Samuel in mipite jah’a lengpan atoh atham di thudol ahillin, chule lekhajol khat’a asun lut in, Pakai angsung ah akoitai. Chuin Samuel in mipi ho chu ama ama incheh’ah asoltai.
26 Yea, even Saul, went to his own house, at Gibeah, —and the valiant men whose heart God had moved went with him.
Chuin Saul jong Gibeah kho a-inlam ah achetan, chule Pathen in alungsung atohkhah mi honkhat in alhon piuvin ahi.
27 But, abandoned men, said—How can this one save us? So they treated him with contempt, and brought him no present, —but he was as one that was deaf.
Ahinlah pannabei miphabep chun, “Hichepan iti eihuhdoh diu ham?” atiuve. Chuin amahon ama nahsahmon abol’un, thilpeh imacha ahin choipeh pouvin ahi. Ahinlah ama athipbeh in ana nahsah pon ahi.
