1 Samuel 1
1 And there is a certain man of Ramathaim-Zophim, of the hill-country of Ephraim, and his name [is] Elkanah, son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, and Ephrathite,
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 hath two wives, the name of the one [is] Hannah, and the name of the second Peninnah, and Peninnah hath children, and Hannah hath no children.
Elkanah in ji ni aneiyin, Hannah le Peninnah ahi. Peninnah in cha aneiyin, ahin Hannah vang'in aneipoi.
3 And that man hath gone up out of his city from time to time, to bow himself, and to sacrifice, before Jehovah of Hosts, in Shiloh, and there [are] two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests to Jehovah.
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 the day cometh, and Elkanah sacrificeth, and he hath given 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 and to Hannah he giveth a certain portion — double, for he hath loved Hannah, and Jehovah hath shut her womb;
Chule Hannah angailut jeh chun, Pakaiyin anaobu akhapeh jeh chun, sachan chan khat bou apeyin ahi.
6 and her adversity hath also provoked her greatly, so as to make her tremble, for Jehovah hath 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 so he doth year by year, from the time of her going up into the house of Jehovah, so it provoketh her, and she weepeth, and doth 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 saith to her, 'Hannah, why weepest thou? and why dost thou not eat? and why is thy heart afflicted? am I not 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 And Hannah riseth after eating in Shiloh, and after drinking, and Eli the priest is sitting on the throne by the side-post of the temple of Jehovah.
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 is bitter in soul, and prayeth unto Jehovah, and weepeth greatly,
Hannah vang chu lhase beh seh jengin, Pakai henga ataovin, lhasetah in akapjah in ahi.
11 and voweth a vow, and saith, 'Jehovah of Hosts, if Thou dost certainly look on the affliction of Thy handmaid, and hast remembered me, and dost not forget Thy handmaid, and hast given to Thy handmaid seed of men — then I have given him to Jehovah all days of his life, and a razor doth not go up 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 hath been, when she multiplied praying before Jehovah, that Eli is watching her mouth,
Amanu Pakai henga ataopet’in Eli thempun ane phunchu ana mulhin ahi.
13 and Hannah, she is speaking to her heart, only her lips are moving, and her voice is not heard, and Eli reckoneth her to be drunken.
Anephu achaloh chu amun, ahinlah ataogin aw chu ajapoi, ageldan in amanu hin ju adonkham hinte ati ahi.
14 And Eli saith unto her, 'Until when are thou drunken? turn aside thy wine from thee.'
Aman Hannah jah’a “Hilai munna hi jukham puma nahung ham? Najukham chu paidoh loijin,” ati.
15 And Hannah answereth and saith, 'No, my lord, A woman sharply pained in spirit I [am], and wine and strong drink I have not drunk, and I pour out my soul before Jehovah;
“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 put not thy handmaid before a daughter of worthlessness, for from the abundance of my meditation, and of my provocation, I have spoken hitherto.'
“Keima numei phalouvin neigel hihbeh in! Ahinlah lung genthei puma taojing jengjoh kahibouve,” ati.
17 And Eli answereth and saith, 'Go in peace, and the God of Israel doth give thy petition which 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 saith, 'Let thy handmaid find grace in thine eyes;' and the woman goeth on her way, and eateth, and her countenance hath not been [sad] for it any more.
Hannah in jong, “Oh hepu kakipah e!” atin, akinunglen an anepantai, alungkham tapon ahi.
19 And they rise early in the morning, and bow themselves before Jehovah, and turn back, and come in unto their house in Ramah, and Elkanah knoweth Hannah his wife, and Jehovah remembereth 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 cometh to pass, at the revolution of the days, that Hannah conceiveth, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Samuel, 'for, from Jehovah I have asked him.'
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 goeth up, and all his house, to sacrifice to Jehovah the sacrifice of the days, and his vow.
Akum kit’in Elkanah le ainsung mite jouse kum kichaiya gan kilhaina-a Pakai hou ding in akitol kit tauve.
22 And Hannah hath not gone up, for she said to her husband, 'Till the youth is weaned — then I have brought him in, and he hath appeared before the face of Jehovah, and dwelt there — unto the age.'
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 saith to her, 'Do that which is good in thine eyes; abide till thy weaning him; only, Jehovah establish His word;' and the woman abideth and suckleth her son till she hath 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 she causeth him to go up with her when she hath weaned him, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and she bringeth him into the house of Jehovah at Shiloh, and the youth [is but] a youth.
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 slaughter the bullock, and bring in the youth unto Eli,
Bongchal atha jou phat’un amahon naosen chu Eli thempu kom ahin puilut tauve.
26 and she saith, 'O, my lord, thy soul liveth! my lord, I [am] the woman who stood with thee in this [place], to pray unto Jehovah;
“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 youth I prayed, and Jehovah doth give to 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 and also I have caused him to be asked for Jehovah, all the days that he hath lived — he is asked for Jehovah;' and he boweth himself there before Jehovah.
“Tun keiman amahi Pakai henga kahin pehdoh ahitai. Ahinkho lhumkeiya dinga kapehdoh ahitai. Hichun amahon hikoma chun Pakai chibai aboh tauve.
