< 1 Samuel 2 >

1 Hannah prayed and said, “My heart exults in Yahweh. My horn is exalted in Yahweh. My mouth boasts over my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation.
Chuin hiti hin Hannah ataovin, “Kalungsung Pakaiyah akipah jinge, Pakaiyin eihat sah tai, Tun kamelma te donbutna ding kanei tai; Kakipahe’ ajeh chu nangman neilhatdoh tai.
2 There is no one holy like Yahweh, for there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God.
Pakai tobanga theng adang aumpoi! Nangma tobang koima dang aumpoi, Eiho Pathen tobang songpi dang aumpoi.
3 Boast no more so very proudly; let no arrogance come out of your mouth. For Yahweh is a God of knowledge; by him actions are weighed.
Kiletsah vallin thu seidan, Hoitho nathu Nakam’in phapoh hih hellin. ahetlou imacha aumpoi, natohho jouse thu atanding ahi.
4 The bow of the mighty men are broken, but those who stumble put on strength like a belt.
Galhat te thalpi jouse tunvang akiheh bongtan, mi thalhom chu thahat akisotai.
5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread; those who were hungry have stopped being hungry. Even the barren one gives birth to seven, but the woman who has many children languishes.
Oi vasetna neten, nehding nelouvin kel thoh in aum’un, agilkelho avasoh tauve.
6 Yahweh kills and brings to life. He brings down to Sheol and raises up. (Sheol h7585)
Pakaiyin thinale hinna ani gellin apen, aman abang lhankhuh ah alhahsuh sah in, abang akaithouve. (Sheol h7585)
7 Yahweh makes some people poor and some rich. He humbles, but he also lifts up.
Pakai in abang avaichat sah’in, adang ahao sah in choisang in. abang alhahsuh sah in abang aphong ding in ahi.
8 He raises up the poor out of the dust. He lifts the needy from the ash heap to make them sit with princes and inherit the seat of honor. For the pillars of the earth are Yahweh's and he has set the world upon them.
Aman vaichaho leivuija konin aphong sangin chule angaichate vutvam lah’a kon’in aneiloute achoisangin ahi. Leng chapate lah’a tousah dingle, loupina laltouna-a tousah-a, thilsemho jouse hi Pakai ja ding ahi, chule vannoija thilho jouse kitoh tah in akoiye.
9 He will guard the feet of his faithful people, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness, for no one will prevail by strength.
Aman ama dinga tahsan umtah hochu aventup ding ahi, ahinlah michonse ho chu muthim lah’a mangthah ding ahiuve. Ajeh chu athahat na a koimacha dingjoulou ding ahi.
10 Those who oppose Yahweh will be broken to pieces; he will thunder against them from heaven. Yahweh will judge the ends of the earth; he will give strength to his king and exalt the horn of his anointed.”
Pakai douna-a galsat ho chu cheh chao ding ahiuve, amaho douna-a vana kona keh alhah sah ding ahi; Pakaiyin vana kon in thu ahin tan in amadinga thaonu changho chung ah, vannoija aman alengho thuneina apen athanei nao abelap peh in ahi.
11 Then Elkanah went to Ramah, to his house. The child served Yahweh in the presence of Eli the priest.
Chujouvin Samuel jaolouvin, Elkanah jong a in lam Ramah kho ah akiletan ahi.
12 Now the sons of Eli were worthless men. They did not know Yahweh.
Eli chapa teni chu migilou michavai ahilhon toh kilhon’in Pakai gin nale jana pelou ahilhone.
13 The custom of the priests with the people was that when any man offered a sacrifice, the priest's servant would come with a three-pronged fork in his hand, while the meat was boiling.
Hichelaiya thempu hija atoh dingdol mi koi tobang hamkhat in kilhaina atodoh teng lhachapa chun, sa kithat kihonsou pet tah leh satul kathum neikhat ahin puma ahinsol jia ahi.
14 He would stick it into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or pot. All that the fork brought up the priest would take for himself. They did this in Shiloh with all the Israelites that came there.
Hiche thihkhe chu khangbel sunga asolutna, asodoh pen pen chu Eli chate apeh ding, Israel chate Shiloh a gan kilhaina hunglha jouse hitia chu gihna aneiji lhon ahi.
15 Worse, before they burned the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man who was sacrificing, “Give meat to roast for the priest; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, but only raw.”
Abang komle sathaoho kilhutvam masangle thempupa sohpa chu hunga kilhaina ganthatpa jah’a chu hitia ahung sei jin, “Thempupa kigo ding sahing neipen, ajeh chu aman nangma honminsa chu akilah louhel ding ahi, sahing bou adei ahiye,” tia ahung sei ding ahi.
16 If the man said to him, “They must burn the fat first, and then take as much as you want.” Then he would say, “No, you will give it me now; if not, I will take it by force.”
Mihem gan kilhaina kin sempa chun hitin adonbut jin ahi, “Nadeijat jat kilah in, ahinlah athao kihallha masading ahi,” atijin, ahin thempu sohpan jong, “Ahipoi nangman atuma neipeh doh ding ahi, achuti louva ahileh keiman pumhatna kalah Peh ding nahi,” tin aseijin ahi.
17 The sin of these young men was very great before Yahweh, for they despised Yahweh's offering.
Hitichun hiche khangthah teni chonsetna chu akhohlheh jengtan, ajeh chu Pakai maicham jeng jong chu kimit thipna changing aneitauvin ahi.
18 But Samuel served Yahweh as a child clothed with a linen ephod.
Ahinlah Samuel chu chapang cha hijongle, Pakai lhachan apangtai. Thempu kivonna tupat ponnem khat in akong akigah jin Pakai angsung ah lhachan apang jitan ahi.
19 His mother would make him a little robe and bring it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
Kumseh leh anun sangkhol chol neo khat akhuipeh in ainneipu toh kilhaina gantha bolding in achekhom lhonin ahi.
20 Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife and say, “May Yahweh give you more children by this woman because of the request she made of Yahweh.” Then they would return to their own home.
Inlama ahung kile masang teng’u leh, Eli in Elkanah le ainneipi phatthei abohjin chule hitin aseiji’e, “Pakaiyin hiche na inneipi chapa khat napeh jeh in, amanu’a konin chale nao tampi nahinsah hen,” tin aseiye.
21 Yahweh again helped Hannah, and again she became pregnant. She bore three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, the child Samuel grew before Yahweh.
Chule Pakaiyin chapa thumle chanu ni apen, hitichun Samuel chu Pakai angsung’a ahung khangtou touvin ahi.
22 Now Eli was very old; he heard all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and how they slept with the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
Tun Eli chu ateh lheh jeng tan, chujong le achapa tenin Israel mi tampi abol nalhon thu kithang, kikhopna ponbuh kotpi phunga lhacha a pang numeiho aluppi lhon jong ajatai.
23 He said to them, “Why do you such things? For I hear of your evil actions from all these people.”
Hijeh chun Eli in ajah lhon ah, “Nathilbol lhon jouse Israel mipiten kakoma aseiyun kajasoh keitai, ipi bolla hitobang chonsetna hi nabol lhon ham?
24 No, my sons; for it is not a good report that I hear. You make Yahweh's people disobey.
Na ngah teitei lhon ding ahi, kachateni! Pakai mitea kona kajah thucheng hohi ahoihih beh jeng in ahi.
25 “If one man sins against another, God will judge him; but if a man sins against Yahweh, who will speak for him?” But they would not listen to the voice of their father, because Yahweh intended to kill them.
Mihem khat chu mihem dang khat douna-a achonset na ahileh Pathen in asuhcham thei ahi, amavang mihem khat chu Pakai douna a achonsetna ahileh, koipen in ama dinga asei champeh ding hitam?” ati. Ahinlah Eli chapa tenin apa thusei ngainah sah in anei lhon poi. Hijeh chun Pakaiyin amani thina ding gonsan akoi tai.
26 The child Samuel grew up, and increased in favor with Yahweh and also with men.
Chapang cha hijongle, Samuel vang chu Pakai le mihemte mitmu’n akhangtou touvin ahi.
27 Now a man of God came to Eli and said to him, “Yahweh says, 'Did I not reveal myself to the house of your ancestor, when they were in Egypt in bondage to Pharaoh's house?
Nikhat hi Pathen mi khat Eli koma ahung in, ahin amachu Pakaiya konin thu ahinpo in, hitin aseipeh tai, “Keima, Egypt gamsung Pharaoh insunga sohchanga aumlaiyuva napa insung mite henga kei le kei kiphong doh’a kahitai.
28 I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, and to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me. I gave to the house of your ancestor all the offerings of the people of Israel made with fire.
Keiman Aaron hi Israel phung jousea kona kathempu hiding chule ka maicham chunga thilto ding, gim namtwi halding chule kamasanga thempu sangkhol chol kivon’a, kakin tong ding’a kalhendoh nahi hilou ham? Chule Israel chatea kona kimudoh keidinga thilto jouse chu napa insung mite kapeh dohsa ahitai.
29 Why, then, do you scorn my sacrifices and offerings that I required in the place where I live? Why do you honor your sons above me by making yourselves fat with the best of every offering of my people Israel?'
Achutia ahileh ipi dinga kaumna a kathupeh gankilhaina le kathilto napai manga, kami Israelte thilpeh jousea kona ahoipen chun nathaodoh sah na dinga keisanga nachapa teni naja boljoh ham? Kami Israelte thilto aphalai laiya chu nangho kivah thaochet nahiu hitam?” ati.
30 For Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, 'I promised that your house, and the house of your ancestor, should walk before me forever.' But now Yahweh says, 'Far be it from me to do this, for I will honor those who honor me, but those who despise me will be lightly esteemed.
“Hijeh a chu Pakai Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye, keiman nangma Levi insungle napa insung chu imatih chana kathempu a pang diu ahi tia nasei sa ahin, ahinlah keima eija a chu keiman jong amachu kaja ding ahi, chule keima giltah’a eibol louva chu keiman jong kakhohsah lou ding ahi.
31 See, the days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your father's house, so that there will no longer be any old man in your house.
Phat ahung lhunge, vetan, Keiman nathaneina kasuh bei nading nikho ahung nai tul tule, Hiteng chule nain sunga pasal tehse khat chabeh jong hung umlou ding ahiye.
32 You will see distress in the place where I live. Although good will be given to Israel, there will no longer be any old man in your house.
Hiche phatteng chule Israel te kipe haona chu nangman ngaicha geova, namit lhilha lha a nahin vet ding ahi chujongle nainsunga kona pasal ateh’a thi khatna khat cha jong umdoh lou ding ahitai.
33 Any one of you that I do not cut off from my altar, I will cause your eyes to fail, and I will cause grief for your life. All the men born in your family will die.
Ahingdoh chasun jong gim hesoh thoh'a umdiu, chule achate hou jong thise jenga thi diu ahi.
34 This will be the sign for you that will come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: They will both die on the same day.
Kathusei ho adih avetsahna chu, kathusei hochu hung guilhung ding, hichu nachateni chunga hung lhung ding, Hophni chule Phinehas, nikhat sunga ani lhon’a thiding ahi!
35 I will raise up for myself a faithful priest who will do what is in my heart and in my soul. I will build him a sure house; and he will walk before my anointed king forever.
Chutengle keiman tahsan umtah thempu eijen dingle kalung deitah bolding katundoh ding ahi. Ainsung jeng jong katundoh peh a, chule amaho chu kaleng tundoh ho thempu a tonsot'a pang dingu ahi.
36 Everyone who is left in your house will come and bow down to him, asking for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and will say, “Please assign me to one of the priests' positions so I can eat a piece of bread.”'”
Chuteng nainsung’a ahing chengse a angsunga bohkhup uva, paisa le an athum diu, “Lungset tah in” tia asei diu, natoh ding neipeuvin, thempuho lah ah, chuteng keihon nehding kham neitavinge, atidiu ahi,” ati.
