¹Huan, Samuelin Israel mite tengteng kiangah, ngai dih ua, ka kianga na thugen tengteng uh ka pom hi, kumpipa ding lah ka honbawlsakta a.

¹And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a king over you.

²Tuin ngai dih ua, kumpipain na ma uh a kaia; kei jaw ka na tekin ka lu leng a kangta a: huan, ngaidih ua, ka tapate na kiang uah a om ua; ka valnou lai akipanin tutanin na ma uh ka pi.

²And now, behold, the king walketh before you: and I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day.

³Hiailaiah ka om: TOUPA ma leh a sathau nilhpa maah honsel un; kua bawngtal ahia ka suh ngei? Kua sabengtung ahia ka suh ngei? Kua ka khem ngeia? Kua ka simmoh ngei a? ka mit tosak dingin kua akipanin ahia golhna ka lak ngei? Ka hondin nawn vek ding, a chi a.

³Behold, here I am: witness against me before the LORD, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you.

⁴Huan, amau, non khem ngeikei, non simmoh ngei samkei, kuamah khut akipanin lak tuak louh leng na la ngeikei, a chi ua.

⁴And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand.

⁵Huan, aman a kiang uah, ka khut ah bangmah kilawm lou na mu kei uh chih tuniin TOUPA na lak uah a theipa ahi, a sathaunilhpa a theipa ahi, a chi a. Huan, amau, Amah a theipa ahi, a chi ua.

⁵And he said unto them, The LORD is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my hand. And they answered, He is witness.

⁶Huan, Samuelin mipi kiangah, Mosi leh Aron seppa leh Aigupta akipana na pipute uh pi khepa TOUPA ahi.

⁶And Samuel said unto the people, It is the LORD that advanced Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.

⁷Huchiin ding kinken unla, TOUPA maah TOUPAN na tung uh leh na pipute uh tunga thil kizen taka a nahih sek dan ka honsut pih peuhmah ding.

⁷Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the LORD of all the righteous acts of the LORD, which he did to you and to your fathers.

⁸Aigupta gama Jakob a lut nungin, na pipute un TOUPA a sam ua, huchiin TOUPAN Mosi leh Aron a sawl a, amau na pipute uh Aigupta gam akipanin a pi khia ua, hiailai munah a omsak ua.

⁸When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried unto the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, which brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.

⁹Himahleh TOUPA a Pathian uh a mangngilh ua; huan, aman Hazor sepaih heutu Seser khut ah leh Philistia mite khut ah leh Moab kumpipa khut ah a khawnga, huan, amau a dou uh.

⁹And when they forgat the LORD their God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.

¹⁰Huan, TOUPA a sam ua, TOUPA I lehngatsana, Baal leh Astoroth na I sep jiakin I nakhialta uh: himahleh I melmate khuta kipan hon honkheta inla, huchiin na na ka sem ding uh, a chi ua.

¹⁰And they cried unto the LORD, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.

¹¹Huan, TOUPAN Jerubaal te Bendan te, Jepth te, Samuel te a sawl a, khatlam khatlama na melma uh mite khut akipan a hon honkhiaa, bit takin na om uh.

¹¹And the LORD sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelled safe.

¹²Huan, Ammon suante kumpipa Nahas nou hondou dingin a hongkuan chih na theih tak un ka kiangah, ahi kei, kumpipan vai hon hawmsak hen, na chi ua; TOUPA Pathian lah na kumpipa uh ahi gige ngala.

¹²And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but a king shall reign over us: when the LORD your God was your king.

¹³Huchiin na kumpipa tel uleh nget uh en dih uh; en dih uh, TOUPAN kumpipa a honbawlsakta hi.

¹³Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired! and, behold, the LORD hath set a king over you.

¹⁴TOUPA laudan na siam ua, a na na sep ua, a aw na ngaihkhiak ua, TOUPA thupiak na helsan kei ua, nou leh na tung ua vaihawm kumpipa toh TOUPA na Pathian uh juite na hih uleh a hoih dinga;

¹⁴If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God:

¹⁵Ahihhangin TOUPA aw na ngaihkhiak kei ua, TOUPA thupiak na helsan uleh na pipute un TOUPA khut a thuak mah bang un nou leng na thuak ding uh.

¹⁵But if ye will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall the hand of the LORD be against you, as it was against your fathers.

¹⁶Huchiin ding kinken unla, TOUPAN na mitmuh ua thil thupi tak a hih ding na en un.

¹⁶Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes.

¹⁷Tuniin buh a la uh ahi kei maw? van gingsak ding leh vuah zusak dingin TOUPA ka sam dinga, huchiin kumpipa na nget thu uah TOUPA mitmuh a thil na hihkhelh uh a thupidan na thei un na mu ding uh, a chi a.

¹⁷Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the LORD, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king.

¹⁸Huchiin Samuelin TOUPA a sama, TOUPAN huai niin van a ging saka, vuah a zusaka; huchiin mipiin TOUPA leh Samuel a kihta mahmah uh.

¹⁸So Samuel called unto the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.

¹⁹Huan, mipi tengtengin Samuel kiangah, ka sih louhna ding un TOUPA na Pathian kiangah na sikhate hon thumsakin, hiai thil hoihlou tak, kumpipa ka nanget uh, ka gitlouhna tengteng uh behlap ka na hita uh, a chi ua.

¹⁹And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the LORD thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king.

²⁰Huan, Samuelin mipite kiangah, Lau kei un, hiai thil hoihlou tak hih jaw na hih ngeingut ua, himahleh TOUPA na zuih uh pialsan tuan kei unla, na lungtang tengteng un TOUPA na sem jaw uh;

²⁰And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;

²¹Kinepna ding bei bangmahlou leh nou hon honkhe theilou juiin pial kei un, bangmahlou hal ahi ngal ua.

²¹And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.

²²Amin thupi tak jiakin TOUPAN lah a mite a lehngatsan sin keia: noute amah mi dia bawl lah TOUPA kipah lamtak ahi ngala.

²²For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people.

²³Huai phet leng ahi keia, nou adia thum tawpa, TOUPA tunga khelh kei adingin ahi dek het kei hi; lampi hoih leh lampi dik ka hon kawkmuh zo jel ding hi.

²³Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:

²⁴TOUPA laudan siam photphot unla, na lungtang tengteng un chihtaktakin a na sem unla; nou dinga thil a hih thupidan ngaihtuah dih ve un.Himahleh gilou taka thil na hih lailai uleh na mangthang ding uh, nou leh na kumpipa uh, a chi a.

²⁴Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.

²⁵Himahleh gilou taka thil na hih lailai uleh na mangthang ding uh, nou leh na kumpipa uh, a chi a.

²⁵But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.
