¹Huan, Hana a thuma: TOUPA tungah ka lungtang a kipak mahmah, ka ki TOUPA ah pahtawiin a om; ka melmate tungah ka kam letsakin a oma, na hotdamnaa ka kipah mahmah jiakin.

¹And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.

²TOUPA banga siangthou a om kei uh; nangmah bang mahmah lah a om ngal kei ua, I Pathian bang suangpi himhim leng a om sam kei.

²There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.

³Huchi tela kisatheiin thu gen nawn kei unla; na kam ua kipan in pau uang himhim pawt kei leh; TOUPA lah pilna Pathian ahi ngala, aman thilhihte hoihtakin a buk jel hi.

³Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

⁴Mi hat thal peute a kitansaka, hoite tai lah hoihnaa gakin a om hi.

⁴The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.

⁵Niang leh tai sekte nekding zongin a kilohtawmta ua, gil kial sekte a khawlta uhi: ahi, chingin sagih a neita hi; ta tampi neinu a bahta.

⁵They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.

⁶TOUPAN a hihlum seka, a hih hing jel: han ah a pai suk saka, a pi khe jel hi.

⁶The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.

⁷TOUPAN a bawlgenthei seka, a hihhausa jel sam: a hihniam seka, a hihsang jel.

⁷The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.

⁸Leivui a kipanin genthei a phawng seka; ekvu a kipanin tasam a domkang jel hi; mi liante kianga a omsak theiha, thupina laltutphah a tan theihna dingun: lei kingakna TOUPA ahi a, khovel lah a tungah a ngata ngala.

⁸He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he hath set the world upon them.

⁹A mi siangthoute khe a kem dinga, mi giloute bel mial lakah daihsak didein a om ding uh; hatnain kuamahin a zoukei ding uh.

⁹He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

¹⁰TOUPA sualte a kitam gawp ding ua, van akipanin vangingin a dou ding: TOUPAN kawlmong phain vai a hawm dinga; a kumpipa kiangah hatna a pe dinga, a thaunilhpa ki a pahtawi ding, a chi a.

¹⁰The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.

¹¹Huchiin Elkan bel Rama khua ah a in ah a paita hi. Huan, naupangin siampu Eli maah na a semta hi.

¹¹And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest.

¹²Huan, Eli tapate Belial tate ahi ua; TOUPA a theikei ua.

¹²Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.

¹³Huan, mipite laka siampute hihdan bel, min kithoihna a honlat chiang un, sa a kihuan laitakin siampu sikha sa thukna sikkhut zum thum nei tawiin a hongpai jela;

¹³And the priest's custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand;

¹⁴Huan, bel gong ja hiam, bel muk nei hiam, bel khaina nei hiam, bel hiam sung a sun suka: huan, huai sa thukna zumin a honthuk khiak tengteng siampuin a la jel ahi. Huchibangin Israel mi huai a hongpai tengtengte a kipan huai Silo khua ah a na hihsak hihsak jel uhi.

¹⁴And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither.

¹⁵A hi, a thau akhul ma un Siampu sikha a hongpaia, kithoihmi kiangah, Siampu a ding hai min ding sa honpiain; na sa huan lah a deih kei a, a sial a deih ahi, a chi jel a.

¹⁵Also before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw.

¹⁶Huan, miin a kiangah, A thau pen khul phot uhenla, huan, huai khit chiangin na hinnain a deih zahzah na la na ding hi, a nachih chiang bangun aman, Hi lou e, non piak pah ngal ding ahi; non piak kei leh ka la teitei ding, a chi jel hi.

¹⁶And if any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, Nay; but thou shalt give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force.

¹⁷Huchiin tangvalte khelhna TOUPA mitmuhin a thupita mahmah maia, miten lah TOUPA kianga kithoihna latte a ngaihneu loh uhi.

¹⁷Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.

¹⁸Himahleh Samuel bel naupang hitamahleh, puan malngat siampu puannak silhin TOUPA maah na a sem a.

¹⁸But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.

¹⁹Huan, huailou leng a nun puannaktual neu a khuisak a, a kum teng kithoihna uh lan dinga a pasal toh a hoh chiangun kum tengin a tawisak jeljel uhi.

¹⁹Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.

²⁰Huan, Eliin Elkan leh a ji vualjawla, TOUPA adia na thillat uh na lat uh hiai numei suanin TOUPAN honthuk hen, a chi a. Huchiin a in lam uah a paita uh.

²⁰And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went unto their own home.

²¹Huan, TOUPAN Hana a veha, nau a paia, tapa thum leh tanu nih a nei hi. Huan, naupang Samuel TOUPA maah a hongkhanglianta hi.

²¹And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.

²²Eli bel a tek mahmahta a; Israel mite tengteng tunga a tate thilhih tengteng leh kihoupihna puanin kongkhak bula nasem numeite a na luppih jel thute uh a ja a.

²²Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

²³Huchiin a kianguah, Bangdinga hichibang thil hih namai ua? Hiai mi tengteng a kipanin na thilhih dan hoihloute uh ka na za ngal a.

²³And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.

²⁴Maijen! Maijen! Ka tate aw: na tanchin uh ka najak a hoihlou lam ngen ahi. TOUPA mite na taleksak uh ahi.

²⁴Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD's people to transgress.

²⁵Mi khat mi dang tunga a khelhleh Pathianin vai a hawmsak ding: himahleh mi, TOUPA tung a a khelh leh kuan a thumpih dia? A chi a. huchi pipiin leng a pa uh thu a mang nuam tuan kei ua, TOUPAN lah amaute a hihlum sin ngei ngala.

²⁵If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.

²⁶Huan, naupang Samuel a khanglian deuhdeuh a; Pathian leh mihing deihlamin a om hi.

²⁶And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favor both with the LORD, and also with men.

²⁷Huan, Eli kiangah Pathian mi khat a honga, a kiangah, TOUPAN hichiin a chi, Aigupta gama Pharo sikha a a omlai un na pu uh kiangah ka kilak kei maw?

²⁷And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?

²⁸Huan, Israel nam tengteng lak a kipan, ka maitam a hohtou a, gimlim hala, ka maa siampu puannak silh dinga ka siampu dia amah ka seh ahi kei maw? huan, na pu uh Israel mite halmang thillat tengteng ka pia ahi kei maw?

²⁸And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?

²⁹Bangjiak in ahia ka omnaa lat dinga ka seh ka kianga kithoihna leh ka tuama thillat pen lei toh na sikden ua, kei sanga na tate na pahtawi jawka, noumau na kisukthauna ding ua ka mi Israelte kithoihna a hoihhoih na jat uh? Chiin.

²⁹Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honorest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?

³⁰Huaijiakin TOUPA Israelte Pathianin, Ken jaw na inkuante leh na pa inkuante khantawnin ka maah na om ding uh ka chi ngei ngut, a chi a; himahleh tuin TOUPAN, Na om het kei ding uh; honpahtawi peuhmah ka pahtawi dinga, honmusit peuhmahte lah ka ngaineu sin ngala.

³⁰Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honor me I will honor, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

³¹Ngaiin, na bante, na pa inkuante bante ka tan ni a hongtung sinta, na in ah tekkuna dam himhim a om kei ding uh.

³¹Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.

³²Israel mite pathianin hauhsakna a piak hunchiangin ka omna ina thuakna na mu ding hi: huan, na in ah khantawnin tekkun a dam himhim a omkei ding uh.

³²And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.

³³Huan, na mi, ka maitama kipana ka hihman louh dingpen bel na mit hihkhamtu dingleh na lungsim lungkhamsaktu ding ahi ding: na in a hongpiang peuhmahte lah a dawnsih jel ding uhi.

³³And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age.

³⁴Huan, hiai, na tapate nih Hophni leh Phinehas tunga thil hongtung ding nang a dingin chiamtehna ahi ding; ni khatin a nih un a si tuaktuak ding uh.

³⁴And this shall be a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.

³⁵Huan, Siampu siampu muanhuai tak keia dingin ka phut hoih nawn dinga, huaiin ka lungtang leh ka lungsim toh kituakin na a sem ding: huan, inkuan kiptakin ka phut dinga, khantawnin ka thaunilhmi maah a om ding.Huan, hichi ahi dinga, na ina omlaite tengteng dangka leh tanghou ngenin a kuan ding ua, chibai a buk ding ua, Tanghou tawmchik bek nek ding ka muh theihna dingin siampu nasep banghiam honsem sak dih ve, a chi ding, a chi ahi, a chi a.

³⁵And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever.

³⁶Huan, hichi ahi dinga, na ina omlaite tengteng dangka leh tanghou ngenin a kuan ding ua, chibai a buk ding ua, Tanghou tawmchik bek nek ding ka muh theihna dingin siampu nasep banghiam honsem sak dih ve, a chi ding, a chi ahi, a chi a.

³⁶And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thine house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
