1 Samuel 12
1 And Samuel saith unto all Israel, 'Lo, I have hearkened to your voice, to all that ye said to me, and I cause to reign over you a king,
Samuel ni Isarelnaw pueng koe, khenhaw! kai koe na dei awh e pueng hah ka tarawi teh nangmouh siangpahrang na poe awh.
2 and now, lo, the king is walking habitually before you, and I have become aged and gray-headed, and my sons, lo, they [are] with you, and I have walked habitually before you from my youth till this day.
Atu khenhaw! siangpahrang ni na hrawi awh toe. Kai hateh kamatong toe. Ka sam hai a po toe. Khenhaw! ka capanaw teh nangmouh koe ao awh teh, a nawca hoi sahnin totouh na hrawi awh toe.
3 'Lo, here [am] I; testify against me, over-against Jehovah, and over-against His anointed; whose ox have I taken, and whose ass have I taken, and whom have I oppressed; whom have I bruised, and of whose hand have I taken a ransom, and hide mine eyes with it? — and I restore to you.'
Hivah ka o, BAWIPA hmalah hoi satui a awi e hmalah ka o. Dei awh haw. Apie maito maw ouk ka lawp. Apie la maw ouk ka lawp. Apimaw ouk ka hmuhma. Apimaw ouk ka pacekpahlek. Ka mit dawn sak hanlah api kut dawk e tadawngnae maw ouk ka ca. Koung na patho awh han telah atipouh.
4 And they say, 'Thou hast not oppressed us, nor hast thou crushed us, nor hast thou taken from the hand of any one anything.'
Ahnimouh ni na dum boi awh hoeh. Na pacekpahlek boi awh hoeh. Apie kut dawk e hno hai na lat boihoeh atipouh awh.
5 And he saith unto them, 'A witness [is] Jehovah against you: and a witness [is] His anointed this day, that ye have not found anything in my hand;' and they say, 'A witness.'
Samuel ni hai kaie kut dawk buetbuet touh hai nangmouh ni na hmu awh hoeh e hah BAWIPA teh nangmouh koe lah kapanuekkhaikung lah ao. Satui awi lah kaawm e hai kapanuekkhaikung lah ao telah ati. Ahnimouh ni hai ahni teh kapanuekkhaikung lah ao telah ati awh.
6 And Samuel saith unto the people, 'Jehovah — He who made Moses and Aaron, and who brought up your fathers out of the land of Egypt!
Samuel ni taminaw koe, Mosi hoi Aron thaw ka poe niteh, Izip ram hoi na mintoenaw ka tâcawtkhai e hai BAWIPA doeh.
7 and, now, station yourselves, and I judge you before Jehovah, with all the righteous acts of Jehovah, which He did with you, and with your fathers.
Hatdawkvah, na mintoenaw koe hno kalan a saknae hah BAWIPA e hmalah pouk pouh thai nahanlah, atu sairasuepcalah kangdout awh.
8 'When Jacob hath come in to Egypt, and your fathers cry unto Jehovah, then Jehovah sendeth Moses and Aaron, and they bring out your fathers from Egypt, and cause them to dwell in this place,
Jakop ni Izip ram a pha hnukkhu nangmae mintoenaw ni BAWIPA koe a hram awh navah, Mosi hoi Aron hah Cathut ni a patoun teh, ahnimouh ni nangmae mintoenaw hah Izip ram hoi a tâcokhai hnukkhu, ahnimanaw teh hete ram dawk ao sak awh.
9 and they forget Jehovah their God, and He selleth them into the hand of Sisera, head of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fight against them,
BAWIPA Cathut hah a pahnim awh navah Hazar ransabawi Sisera kut dawk thoseh, Filistinnaw e kut dawk thoseh, Moab siangpahrang kut dawk thoseh, a yo teh ahnimanaw ni, ahnimanaw ni ahnimouh a tuk awh.
10 and they cry unto Jehovah, and say, We have sinned, because we have forsaken Jehovah, and serve the Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and now, deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we serve Thee.
BAWIPA koevah a hram awh teh, BAWIPA a pahnawt awh. Baal hoi Ashtaroth e thaw tawk awh kecu dawkvah, yon awh toe. Hatei sahnin tarannaw e kut dawk hoi na rungngang nateh na thaw ka tawk awh han telah a ti.
11 'And Jehovah sendeth Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivereth you out of the hand of your enemies round about, and ye dwell confidently.
BAWIPA ni Jerubbaal, Bendan, Jephthah, hoi Samuel tinaw a patoun teh, nangmanaw na tengpam e taran kut dawk hoi na rungngang awh teh, nangmanaw runae awm laipalah lungmawng lah na o awh.
12 'And ye see that Nahash king of the Bene-Ammon hath come against you, and ye say to me, Nay, but a king doth reign over us; and Jehovah your God [is] your king!
Ammon miphunnaw e siangpahrang Nahash ni nangmouh na tuk awh hane hah, nangmouh ni na hmu awh navah nangmae Cathut teh nangmae siangpahrang nahlangva, telah nahoeh. Siangpahrang ni ma kaimouh na uk seh telah na ti awh.
13 And, now, lo, the king whom ye have chosen — whom ye have asked! and lo, Jehovah hath placed over you a king.
Atu na hei e nangmouh ni na rawi e siangpahrang khenhaw! khenhaw! BAWIPA ni nangmae lathueng siangpahrang a rawi toe.
14 'If ye fear Jehovah, and have served Him, and hearkened to His voice, then ye do not provoke the mouth of Jehovah, and ye have been — both ye and the king who hath reigned over you — after Jehovah your God.
Nangmouh ni BAWIPA na taki awh teh, BAWIPA e thaw na tawk awh pawiteh, BAWIPA e lawk na tarawi na ngâi awh pawiteh, nangmouh hoi nangmouh koe lawkcengkung siangpahrang hoi BAWIPA Cathut e hnuk na dawn awh pawiteh ahawi.
15 'And if ye do not hearken to the voice of Jehovah — then ye have provoked the mouth of Jehovah, and the hand of Jehovah hath been against you, and against your fathers.
Hatei Cathut e lawk na tarawi awh hoeh lah kâlawk na tapoe awh pawiteh, BAWIPA e a kut teh na mintoenaw e lathueng, runae a pha sak e patetlah nangmouh koehai a pha han.
16 'Also now, station yourselves and see this great thing which Jehovah is doing before your eyes;
BAWIPA ni nangmae na mithmu hno ka lentoe poung a sak hane hah, duem awm awh nateh khenhaw.
17 is it not wheat-harvest to-day? I call unto Jehovah, and He doth give voices and rain; and know ye and see that your evil is great which ye have done in the eyes of Jehovah, to ask for you a king.'
Sahnin catun anae tueng nahoehmaw. Kho rak sak hane hoi khoparit sak hanelah, kai ni Cathut ka kaw han. Hatnavah, siangpahrang na heinae kong dawk, BAWIPA mithmu vah yonnae kalenpoung na sak awh e na kâpanue awh vaiteh na hmu awh han telah a ti.
18 And Samuel calleth unto Jehovah, and Jehovah giveth voices and rain, on that day, and all the people greatly fear Jehovah and Samuel;
Samuel ni BAWIPA a kaw teh, BAWIPA ni hote hnin dawk, kho a parit sak teh, kho a rak sak. Hat torei teh taminaw ni BAWIPA hoi Samuel hah a taki poung awh.
19 and all the people say unto Samuel, 'Pray for thy servants unto Jehovah thy God, and we do not die, for we have added to all our sins evil to ask for us a king.'
Tamihunaw ni Samuel koevah, due awh hoeh nahan, BAWIPA na Cathut koe sannaw hanelah na ratoum pouh haw. Hettelah e Siangpahrang ka hei awh e heh, ka payonae kâthap sin e lah ao telah ati awh.
20 And Samuel saith unto the people, 'Fear not; ye have done all this evil; only, turn not aside from after Jehovah — and ye have served Jehovah with all your heart,
Samuel ni taminaw koevah, taket awh hanh. Kahawi hoeh e heh na sak awh katang doeh. Hatei BAWIPA e hnuk na kabang awh e phen laipalah, BAWIPA e thaw na lungthin katang hoi tawk awh.
21 and ye do not turn aside after the vain things which do not profit nor deliver, for they [are] vain,
Banglahai ka cungkeihoehe hnukkâbang e lahoi phen awh hanh. Hawinae na poe mahoeh na rungngang thai mahoeh. Hotnaw teh a yawmyin doeh.
22 for Jehovah doth not leave His people, on account of His great name; for Jehovah hath been pleased to make you to Him for a people.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka lentoe e min kecu dawk BAWIPA ni a taminaw cettakhai mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a tami lah coung sak e hah BAWIPA a lunghawinae doeh.
23 'I, also, far be it from me to sin against Jehovah, by ceasing to pray for you, and I have directed you in the good and upright way;
Kai hateh, nangmouh han ratoumnae kâhatnae lahoi BAWIPA koe ka yonnae hoi kâhlat naseh. Kai ni nangmouh hah kahawi ni teh ka lamkahawi hoi lamkatang na pâtue awh han.
24 only, fear ye Jehovah, and ye have served Him in truth with all your heart, for see that which He hath made great with you;
Nangmouh ni BAWIPA dueng mah taket awh haw, lungthin abuemlahoi yuemkamcu lah amae thaw tawk awh haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh hanelah, a sak e hno kalenpoung hah pouk awh haw.
25 and if ye really do evil, both ye and your king are consumed.'
Nangmouh ni thoenae na sak awh rah pawiteh, nangmouh hoi nangmae siangpahrang khuehoi koung pâmit lah na o awh han telah atipouh.
