¹Huan, Naupang Samuelin Eli maah Toupa na a sema, Huai laiin Toupa thu lah a manpha mahmaha; alanga kilaknate a om kei.

¹And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision.

²Huan, hichi ahi a, huai laiin, Eli amah mun ah a lup laiin, (a mit a mial deuhta a, khua a gina muh thei nawn ngel kei, )

²And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see;

³Pathian khawnvak leng a mih main, Pathian bawm omna Toupa biakin ah Samuel a luma;

³And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;

⁴TOUPAN Samuel a sama; aman, Hiaiah ka om, a chi a.

⁴That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.

⁵Huan, Eli kiangah a vataia, a kiangah, Hiaiah ka om, non sama, a chi a. Huan, aman, Kon sam kei; valum nawnin, a chi a. Huchiin a paia, a valum nawnta hi.

⁵And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down.

⁶Huan, TOUPAN Samuel a sam nawna. Huan, Samuel a thoua, Eli kiangah a hoha, Hiaiah ka om; non sama, a chi a. Huan, aman a dawnga, ka honsam kei, ka tapa; va lum nawnin, a chi a.

⁶And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.

⁷Huailaiin Samuelin TOUPA a thei nai keia, TOUPA thu lah a kianga pulak leng ahi nai keia.

⁷Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him.

⁸Huan, TOUPAN Samuel a sam nawna, huai bel a thumveina ahi. Huan, a thoua, Eli kiangah a hoha, Hiaiah ka om; non sama, a chi a. Huchiin Eliin naupang TOUPAN sam ahi chih a theitaa.

⁸And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.

⁹Huaijiakin Eliin Samuel kiangah, Pai inla, va lum nawn inla, a honsap nawn leh, TOUPA, thugenin, na sikhain a ngaikhia hi, na chi ding hi, a chi a. Huchiin Samuel a paita a, a munah a valum nawn hi.

⁹Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

¹⁰Huan, TOUPA a hongpaia, a hong dinga, a maa a sap bangin, Samuel, Samuel, chiin a sam nawna, huchiin Samuelin, Thu genin, na sikhain a ngaikhia hi, a chi a.

¹⁰And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.

¹¹Huan, TOUPAN Samuel kiangah, Ngaiin, Israel gamah a za peuhmahte bil a lang nihniha aphuai takin thil ka hih sin ahi.

¹¹And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.

¹²Huai niin a inkuan tungtang thu ka gen tengteng a bul akipanin a tawp tanin Eli tungah ka hih sin ahi.

¹²In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end.

¹³A taten Pathian a gensiatna khelhna uh theigigena pia a khamlouh jiakin a inkuan khantawna dingin ka ngaihtuah sin ahi chih ka hilhkhinta ngala.

¹³For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.

¹⁴Huaijiakin Eli inkuan kiangah Eli inkuan bohsiatna kithoihnain hiam, thillatin hiam, chikchiangin leng siamsak theih ahi kei ding chiin ka kichiam khinta hi, a chi a.

¹⁴And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever.

¹⁵Huan, Samuel jingsang tanin a luma, huan, TOUPA in kongkhakte a honga, Huchiin Samuelin huai kilakna Eli theihsak a lauthawng hi.

¹⁵And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to show Eli the vision.

¹⁶Huchiin Eliin Samuel a sama, Samuel, ka tapa, a chi a. Huan, aman, Hiaiah ka om, a chi a.

¹⁶Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I.

¹⁷Huan, aman, Bang thil ahia TOUPAN na kianga a gen? ka kiangah bangmah im ken aw; na kianga a gen tengteng ka kiangah im na neih leh na tungah Pathianin a hihhihin hih henla, huai sanga thupijaw leng, a chi a.

¹⁷And he said, What is the thing that the LORD hath said unto thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide any thing from me of all the things that he said unto thee.

¹⁸Huan, Samuelin bangteng a hilh sipsipa, a kiangah bangmah im a neikei. Huchiin aman, TOUPA ahi mah ve, hoih a sak bangbangin hih hen, a chi a.

¹⁸And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good.

¹⁹Huan, Samuel a hongkhang lian deuhdeuha, a kiangah TOUPA a om jela, a thu himhim leitungah a luang mangsak kei hi.

¹⁹And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.

²⁰Huchiin Daan akipan Beer-seba tan hialin Israel mite tengtengin Samuel hi TOUPA jawlnei dinga hihkip ahi chih a na theita uhi.Huan, TOUPA bel Silo ah a kilak nawna: TOUPA bel thuin Samuel kiangah Silo ah a kilak lah ahi ngala.

²⁰And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.

²¹Huan, TOUPA bel Silo ah a kilak nawna: TOUPA bel thuin Samuel kiangah Silo ah a kilak lah ahi ngala.

²¹And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.
