1Huchiin TOUPAN Samuel kiangah, Israel mite kumpipa dinga ka deih nawn louhsa Saula jiakin bangtan ahi a na lungkham sin? Na ki ah sathau thun dim inla, kuanin, Bethlehem mi Jesai kiangah ka honsawl sin hi; a tapate laka mi kumpipa dingin ka sepkhinta hi, a chi a.
1And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.
2Huan, Samuelin, bangchiin ka kuan thei dia? Sualin na za leh a hon hihlum mai ding, a chi a. Huan, TOUPAN, bawngla pi inla, TOUPA kianga kithoih dinga hong ka hi, chiin.
2And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the LORD said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the LORD.
3Huan, kithoihna ah Jesai sam inla, huan, na hihding ka hon hilh ding; huan, a min ka honhilh dingpa sathau hon nilh sakin, a chi a.
3And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee.
4Huchiin Samuelin TOUPA gen bangin a hih a, Bethlehem ah a hoh ta a. Huan, khuaa upaten ling kawm in amah a nadawn ua, hoih lam thua hong na hi maw? a chi ua. Huan, aman, hoih lam thu ah hi e:
4And Samuel did that which the LORD spake, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably?
5TOUPA kianga kithoih dinga hong ka hi; kisiangthou sak unla kithoihna ah hongpai sam un, a chi a. Huan, Jesai leh a tapate a siangthou saka, kithoihna ah a sam a.
5And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the LORD: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
6Huan, hichi ahi a, a hongpai ua Eliab a naen a, TOUPA sathau nilhpa pen a maa ompa ahi mahmah ve, a chi a.
6And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD's anointed is before him.
7Himahleh TOUPAN Samuel kiangah, a mel lam hiam, a san lam hiam en kei un; amah jaw ka deihlouh ahi; TOUPAN lah mihing et danin a en ngal keia; mihingin jaw polama latdan a en sek ua, TOUPAN bel lungtang lam a en zo sek hi, a chi a.
7But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.
8Huan, Jesaiin Abinadab a sama, Samuel maah a paisaka. Aman, hiai leng TOUPA tel ahi naikei, a chi a.
8Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this.
9Huan, Jesaiin Sama a vapaisak nawn. Huan, aman, hiai leng TOUPA tel ahi naikei lai, a chi a.
9Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this.
10Huchiin Jesaiin a tapate sagih Samuel maah a paisaka. Huan, Samuelin Jesai kiangah, TOUPAN hiai khawngte tel lou ahi, a chi a.
10Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these.
11Huan, Samuelin Jesai kiangah, hiailaiah na tate a om kim vek uhia? a chi a. Aman, a naupangpen a om laia, ngai in, belam a ching hi, a chi a. Huan, Samuelin Jesai kiangah, vasam sah dih ve; a hongtun masiah I tu sin kei uhi, a chi a.
11And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither.
12Huchiin a vasam saka, a honpi ua. Amah bel san chiuhteuh, mit hah kilawm, mel hoihtak mai ahi. Huan, TOUPAN, thou inla, sathau nilhin, hiai tak ahi, a chi a.
12And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.
13Huchiin Samuelin sathau bawm ki a laa, a unaute lakah amah sathau a nilha; huchiin TOUPA kha huai ni akipanin nakpi takin David tungah a hongtungta. Huchiin Samuel a thou a, Rama khua ah a paita hi.
13Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
14Huan, TOUPA khain Saula a pawtsana, TOUPA sawl dawiin amah a hihbuai.
14But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.
15Huan, Saula sikhaten a kiangah, ngaiin, Pathian sawl dawiin nang a honhihbuai hi.
15And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.
16Ka pu un na sikha na maa omte kaihging tum siamtak zon thu honpe dih ve; huchiin Pathian sawl dawiin a honmat chiangin a tum dinga, na hoih mai ding hi, a chi ua.
16Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.
17Huan, Saulain a sikhate kiangah, tum siamtak hon zonsak unla, ka kiangah honpi un, a chi a.
17And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.
18Huchiin tangval khatin a dawnga, a kiangah, ngai dih, Bethlehem mi Jesai tapa khat ka mutaa, huai mi tum siamtak, mi hangsan tak, kidou mi, thugen siamtak, melhoih tak ahi, a kiangah TOUPA leng a om, a chi a.
18Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him.
19Huchiin Saulain Jesai kiangah mi a sawla, na tapa David belam chinga om ka kiangah hong sakin, a chi a.
19Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep.
20Huan, Jesaiin sabengtung, tanghou leh uain thawl khat leh kelnou a laa, a tapa David Saula piak dingin a posaka.
20And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul.
21Huan, David Saula kiang a vatunga, a maah a va dinga: aman a na it mahmaha, a galvan tawipa dingin a pangta hi.
21And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer.
22Huan, Saulain Jesai kiangah, David ka kiangah om hen, ka mit a tung mahmah hi, chia hilh dingin mi sawla.Huan, hichi ahi a Pathian sawl dawiin Saula a mat teng in Davidin kaihging a laa, a tum sek a: huchiin Saula a hong halha, a hoih pahpaha; huan, dawiin a pawtsan jel.
22And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favor in my sight.
23Huan, hichi ahi a Pathian sawl dawiin Saula a mat teng in Davidin kaihging a laa, a tum sek a: huchiin Saula a hong halha, a hoih pahpaha; huan, dawiin a pawtsan jel.
23And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
