1 Samuel 13
1 Saul was thirty years old when he began to reign; when he had reigned forty years over Israel,
Saul leng’a ahungpan chun akum somthum alhingtai chule kum somli le ni sungin lengvai anapon ahi.
2 he chose three thousand men of Israel. Two thousand were with him in Michmash and in the hill country of Bethel, while a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. The rest of the soldiers he sent home, each man to his tent.
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 Jonathan defeated the garrison of the Philistines that was at Geba and the Philistines heard of it. Then 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 defeated the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel had become a rotten smell to the Philistines. Then the soldiers were summoned together 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 gathered together to fight against Israel, with three thousand chariots, six thousand men to drive the chariots, and troops as numerous as the sand on the seashore. They came up and encamped at Michmash, east 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 distressed, the people hid in caves, in the underbrush, in rocks, in wells, and in pits.
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 Some of the Hebrews went over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. But Saul was still at 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 He waited seven days, the time Samuel had set. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering from Saul.
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 me the burnt offering and the peace offerings.” Then 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 As soon as he finished offering the burnt offering Samuel arrived. Saul went out to meet him and to 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 Then Samuel said, “What have you done?” Saul replied, “When I saw that the people were leaving me, and that you did not come within the set time, and that the Philistines had assembled 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 I said, 'Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not sought the favor of Yahweh.' So I forced myself to offer 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 Then Samuel said to Saul, “You have acted foolishly. You have not kept the command of Yahweh your God that he gave you. For then Yahweh would have established your rule over 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 rule will not continue. Yahweh has sought out a man after his own heart, and Yahweh has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not obeyed what he 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 Then Samuel arose and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. Then 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, his son Jonathan, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin. But the Philistines camped at 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 Raiders came from the camp of the Philistines in three groups. One group turned toward 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 Another group turned toward Beth Horon, and another group turned toward the border that overlooks the Valley of Zeboyim toward the wilderness.
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 No blacksmith could be found throughout all of Israel, because the Philistines said, “Otherwise the Hebrews would make swords or spears for themselves.”
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 the men of Israel used to go down to the Philistines, each to sharpen his plow points, his mattock, his ax, and his 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 The charge was two-thirds of a shekel for the plow points, and the mattocks, and one-third of a shekel for sharpening axes and for straightening the goads.
Tupheng, langkon thih, thihka, tucha thihmol, heicha chang suh hemna man chu paisa khat tobangbep ahi.
22 So on the day of battle, there were no swords or spears found in the hands of any of the soldiers who were with Saul and Jonathan; only 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.
