1 Samuel 2
1 Hannah prayed, and said, “My heart exults in the LORD! My horn is exalted in the LORD. My mouth is enlarged over my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation.
Te phoeiah Hannah te thangthui tih, “BOEIPA dongah ka lungbuei loh sundaep, BOEIPA ah ka ki loh pomsang uh coeng. Namah kah khangnah dongah ka kohoe tih, ka thunkha khaw ka ka loh a ang thil coeng.
2 There is no one as holy as the LORD, for there is no one besides you, nor is there any rock like our God.
BOEIPA bangla aka cim om pawh. Nang aka puet khaw om pawt tih, lungpang khaw kaimih kah Pathen bangla a om moenih.
3 “Don’t keep talking so exceedingly proudly. Don’t let arrogance come out of your mouth, for the LORD is a God of knowledge. By him actions are weighed.
BOEIPA tah lungming Pathen la om tih, khoboe rhamlang khaw amah loh a khiing a lang coeng dongah na ka lamkah mangkhak ol aka thoeng neh, a sang sang la muep cal boeh.
4 “The bows of the mighty men are broken. Those who stumbled are armed with strength.
Hlangrhalh rhoek kah lii te paep cakhaw, aka paloe rhoek loh thadueng a vah uh.
5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread. Those who were hungry are satisfied. Yes, the barren has borne seven. She who has many children languishes.
Aka soep rhoek loh buh a kutloh uh daengah bungpong khaw a toeng uh. Caya long pataeng parhih khaw a sak coeng dongah, ca aka ping khaw a thathae coeng.
BOEIPA loh a duek sak tih, a hing sak. Saelkhui la a det coeng dae koep a thoh bal. (Sheol h7585)
7 The LORD makes poor and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts up.
BOEIPA loh a talh dae koep a boei sak, a kunyun sak dae koep a pomsang.
8 He raises up the poor out of the dust. He lifts up the needy from the dunghill to make them sit with princes and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s. He has set the world on them.
Diklai kah tungpuei tah BOEIPA koe la om tih, lunglai khaw a sut thil coeng dongah tattloel te laipi khui lamkah a thoh. Khodaeng khaw hlangcong taengah ngol sak ham te, natva lamloh a pomsang tih amih te thangpomnah ngolkhoel neh a phaeng.
9 He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness; for no man will prevail by strength.
A hlangcim rhoek kah a hlangcim kho te a ngaithuen. Tedae halang rhoek kah thadueng loh pakhat khaw a na pawt dongah hmaisuep ah ngam uh.
10 Those who strive with the LORD shall be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in the sky. “The LORD will judge the ends of the earth. He will give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.”
Amah aka oelh la aka oelh te tah BOEIPA loh a rhihyawp sak tih, vaan lamkah rhaek neh a daeh. BOEIPA loh diklai khobawt duela lai a tloek vetih a manghai te sarhi a tak sak phoeiah a messiah ki khaw a pomsang ni,” a ti.
11 Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. The child served the LORD before Eli the priest.
Te phoeiah Elkanah loh Ramah la a im te a paan. Tedae camoe tah khosoih Eli taengah BOEIPA bibi la om.
12 Now the sons of Eli were wicked men. They didn’t know the LORD.
Te vaengah Eli ca rhoi tah muen rhoi ca tih BOEIPA te ming rhoi pawh.
13 The custom of the priests with the people was that when anyone offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant came while the meat was boiling, with a fork of three teeth in his hand;
Te vaengah pilnam lamkah hlang boeih loh hmueih a nawn tih khosoih rhoek kah hamsum vaengah khosoih kah tueihyoeih pakhat te maeh thong la halo hatah a kut dongah ciksum a sum pathum te a pom.
14 and he stabbed it into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or pot. The priest took all that the fork brought up for himself. They did this to all the Israelites who came there to Shiloh.
Anih loh baeldung khaw, voh khaw, ampaih khaw, am khaw a toeh vaengah ciksum loh a doek boeih te khosoih loh amah ham a loh. Te tlam te Shiloh la aka pawk Israel boeih taengah a saii rhoi.
15 Yes, before they burnt the fat, the priest’s servant came, and said to the man who sacrificed, “Give meat to roast for the priest; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, but raw.”
Maehtha te a phum uh hlan ah pataeng khosoih kah tueihyoeih te halo tih hmueih aka ngawn hlang taengah, “Maeh te khosoih ham a hai pah la a thing la m'pae, na maeh hmin te doe mahpawh,” a ti nah.
16 If the man said to him, “Let the fat be burnt first, and then take as much as your soul desires;” then he would say, “No, but you shall give it to me now; and if not, I will take it by force.”
Tedae anih te hlang pakhat loh, “Maehtha he a noek kah bangla m'phum m'phum vetih man na hinglu loh a nai te namah ham na loh sue,” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Pawh, tahae nam paek pawt atah thama la ka loh ni,” a ti nah.
17 The sin of the young men was very great before the LORD; for the men despised the LORD’s offering.
Tedae cadong rhoi tholhnah tah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a len koek la om coeng. Tekah hlang rhoi loh BOEIPA khocang ni a. tlaitlaek rhoi coeng.
18 But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, clothed with a linen ephod.
Samuel tah takhlawk hnisui te a sui tih BOEIPA mikhmuh kah bi aka bi camoe la om.
19 Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
A kum kum kah a tue a pha vaengah tah Hannah khaw hmueih nawn ham a va neh w cet rhoi. Te vaengah a manu loh Samuel ham hnikul ca a saii tih a khuen pah.
20 Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, “May the LORD give you offspring from this woman for the petition which was asked of the LORD.” Then they went to their own home.
Te vaengah Elkanah neh a yuu te Eli loh yoethen a paek tih, “BOEIPA taengah a bih vanbangla a huithuinah yueng la hekah huta pum dongah BOEIPA loh nang taengah tiingan hang khueh saeh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah amah hmuen la cet uh.
21 The LORD visited Hannah, and she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. The child Samuel grew before the LORD.
Hannah te BOEIPA loh a hip dongah vawn tih capa pathum neh canu panit a cun. Te vaengah camoe Samuel tah BOEIPA taengah rhoeng hang.
22 Now Eli was very old; and he heard all that his sons did to all Israel, and how that they slept with the women who served at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
Eli he bahoeng patong coeng dae a ca rhoi loh Israel pum taengah a saii rhoi boeih te khaw, tingtunnah dap thohka aka muk huta rhoek taengah a yalh rhoi te khaw a yaak.
23 He said to them, “Why do you do such things? For I hear of your evil dealings from all these people.
Te dongah amih rhoi te, “Balae tih he rhoek kah hno he na saii rhoi? Nangmih rhoi kah boethae ol te khaw kai loh he pilnam cungkuem taeng lamkah ka yaak coeng.
24 No, my sons; for it is not a good report that I hear! You make the LORD’s people disobey.
Ka ca rhoi nang te tlam moenih, BOEIPA pilnam lamkah ha puek tih ka yaak olthang te a then moenih.
25 If one man sins against another, God will judge him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who will intercede for him?” Notwithstanding, they didn’t listen to the voice of their father, because the LORD intended to kill them.
Hlang pakhat te hlang pakhat soah a tholh atah anih ham te Pathen loh lai a rhoe pueng. Tedae hlang pakhat te BOEIPA soah a tholh coeng atah anih ham te ulae aka thangthui pa eh,” a ti nah. Tedae amih rhoi te BOEIPA loh duek sak ham a ngaih coeng dongah a napa ol te hnatun rhoi pawh.
26 The child Samuel grew on, and increased in favour both with the LORD and also with men.
Camoe Samuel tah a pong a pa neh boeilen tih BOEIPA taeng neh hlang taengah khaw hoeikhang hang.
27 A man of God came to Eli and said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Did I reveal myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt in bondage to Pharaoh’s house?
Te vaengah Pathen kah hlang te Eli taengla halo tih, “BOEIPA loh, 'Egypt kah Pharaoh im hmuiah a om vaengah na pa im ah ka phoe rhoela ka phoe ta nama?
28 Didn’t I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? Didn’t I give to the house of your father all the offerings of the children of Israel made by fire?
Ka mikhmuh ah hnisui aka vah ham neh ka hmueihtuk la aka cet tih, bo-ul aka phum la ka khosoih sak ham ni Israel koca rhoek boeih khui lamkah anih ka tuek tih, Israel ca rhoek kah a hmaihlutnah boeih te na pa imkhui ah ka paek.
29 Why do you kick at my sacrifice and at my offering, which I have commanded in my habitation, and honour your sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel my people?’
Balae tih, ka hmueih neh khuirhung la kang uen ka khosaa te na talaeh phoeiah ka pilnam Israel kah khocang boeih khuikah a vueilue dongah na suen uh tih kai lakah na ca rhoi na thangpom,’ a ti.
30 “Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘I said indeed that your house and the house of your father should walk before me forever.’ But now the LORD says, ‘Far be it from me; for those who honour me I will honour, and those who despise me will be cursed.
Te dongah Israel Pathen BOEIPA olphong loh, 'Na imkhui ah khaw, na pa imkhui ah khaw kumhal duela ka mikhmuh ah pongpa ham ka thui rhoela ka thui coeng,’ a ti. Tedae BOEIPA kah olphong loh, 'Kai lamkah tah savisava, Kai aka thangpom tah ka thangpom vetih kai aka hnaep tah thaephoei thil la om ni.
31 Behold, the days come that I will cut off your arm and the arm of your father’s house, that there will not be an old man in your house.
A tue a pha vaengah namah kah na ban khaw, na pa imkhui kah bantha te khaw ka haih vetih na imkhui ah a hamca om mahpawh.
32 You will see the affliction of my habitation, in all the wealth which I will give Israel. There shall not be an old man in your house forever.
Israel te boeih voelphoeng cakhaw na khuirhung kah rhal ni na paelki eh. Na hing tue khuiah na imkhui ah patong om mahpawh.
33 The man of yours whom I don’t cut off from my altar will consume your eyes and grieve your heart. All the increase of your house will die in the flower of their age.
Na mik khah sak ham neh na hinglu yaai sak ham ka hmueihtuk dong lamloh nang kah hlang te ka pat sak moenih. Tedae na imkhui kah hlang rhoek te a pueh a kan la boeih duek uh ni.
34 This will be the sign to you that will come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they will both die.
Te dongah na ca rhoi, Hophni neh Phinekha ham te tahae kah miknoek loh nang taengla ha thoeng vetih amih rhoi te khohnin pakhat dongah duek rhoi ni.
35 I will raise up a faithful priest for myself who will do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind. I will build him a sure house. He will walk before my anointed forever.
Te vaengah ka thinko kah bangla aka cak khosoih te kamah ham ka thoh vetih ka hinglu dongkah te a saii ni. Anih ham khaw im ka thoh pah vetih ka cak sak vaengah ka koelh hlang kah a mikhmuh ah khohnin takuem pongpa ni.
36 It will happen that everyone who is left in your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and will say, “Please put me into one of the priests’ offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread.”’”
Na imkhui kah aka sueng boeih khaw cak hlii neh buh hluem te a taengah bakop thil ham ham paan ni. Te vaengah, 'Buh kamat caak ham khaw khosoihbi pakhat dongah te kai n'thawth laem,’ a ti ni,” a ti nah.
