¹Huchiin Kiriath-Jearim khuaa mite a hoh suk ua, TOUPA bawm a la tou ua, tanga Abinadab in ah a lalut ua, a tapa Eleazar TOUPA bawm kemtu ding in a hihtuam uhi.

¹And the men of Kirjathjearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.

²Huan, hichi ahi a, Kiriath-Jearima bawm a om sung bel sawtpi ahi a, kum sawmnih tak ahi: huan, Israel inkuante tengteng in TOUPA a lungjuan nawnta uh.

²And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.

³Huan, Samuelin Israel inkuante tengteng kiangah, Na lungtang mahmah ua TOUPA lam hongnga na hih taktak uleh, gam dang pathiante leh Astoreth na lak ua kipanin koih mang ta unla, na lungtang uh TOUPA a din kisasak unla, amah kia na sem un; huchiin Philistia mite khut akipan nou ahon tankhe ding hi, chiin a gena.

³And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.

⁴Huan, Israel miten Baal leh Astoreth a koih mang ua, TOUPA na kia a semta uhi.

⁴Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.

⁵Huan, Samuelin, Israel mi tengteng Mizpa ah sam khawm vek unla, TOUPA kiangah ka hon thumsak ding, a chi a.

⁵And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the LORD.

⁶Huchiin Mizpa ah a hoh khawm ua, huan, tui a tawi ua, TOUPA maah a sung bua ua, huai niin an a ngawl ua, huailaiah, TOUPA tungah I na khialta hi, a chi ua. Huan Samuelin Mizpa ah Israel mite vai a hawmsak hi.

⁶And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh.

⁷Huan, Philistia miten Israel mite Mizpa ah a omkhawm uh chih a jak un Israel mite sual dingin Philistia hausate a kisa tou ua. Israel miten huai a na jak un Philistia mite a kihta uhi.

⁷And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.

⁸Huchiin Israel miten Samuel kiangah, Philistia mite khuta kipan hon hondam dinga TOUPA I Pathian uh non sapsak tawp ken, a chi ua.

⁸And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.

⁹Huan, Samuelin belamnou nawi nelai a laa, pumhal lat dingin TOUPA kiangah a lana: Israel mite adingin Samuelin TOUPA a sam; huan, TOUPAN a dawng hi.

⁹And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him.

¹⁰Huan, Samuelin halmang thillat a lat laitakin Philistia miten Israel mite sual dingin a honnaih ua: himahleh huai niin TOUPAN Philistia mite tungah nakpiin van a gingsak doldola, a buaigawp saka, Israel mite maah a zahlak hilhial uh.

¹⁰And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel.

¹¹Huan, Israel mite Mizpa a kipan a pawt ua, Philistia mite a delh ua, Bethkar nuai a tun tan un a that jel uh.

¹¹And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Bethcar.

¹²Huchiin Samuelin suang a laa, Mizpa leh Sen kikalah a phuta, hichi tan TOUPAN a honpanpih hi, chiin a min dingin Ebenezer a sa hi.

¹²Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.

¹³Huchiin Philistia mite a zahlakta ua, Israel gamah a hoh nawnta kei uh; huan, TOUPA khutin Philistia mite Samuel damsung tengteng a maimawk nilouh hi.

¹³So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the coast of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

¹⁴Huan, Philistia miten Israel mite khua a lakte uh Ekron akipan Gath tanin Israel mite a pe nawn vek ua, a gam lah Israel miten Philistia mite khut akipan tankheta uhi. Huan, Israel mite leh Amor mite kilemin a om uhi.

¹⁴And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the coasts thereof did Israel deliver out of the hands of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

¹⁵Huchiin a damsung teng Samuelin Israelte vai a hawmsak hi.

¹⁵And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

¹⁶Huan kum tengin Bethel leh Gilgal leh Mizpa khawng a veh jela; huai mun tengtengah Israelte vai a hawmsak hi.Huan, a in omna a hih jiakin Rama khua ah a pai nawn jeljel a; huailaiah Israel mite vai a hawmsak a, huailaiah TOUPA adingin maitam a bawl.

¹⁶And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places.

¹⁷Huan, a in omna a hih jiakin Rama khua ah a pai nawn jeljel a; huailaiah Israel mite vai a hawmsak a, huailaiah TOUPA adingin maitam a bawl.

¹⁷And his return was to Ramah; for there was his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar unto the LORD.
