1Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabesh Gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, “Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you.”
1Huchiin Ammon mi Nahas a hon kisaa, Jabes-gilead sual tumin a vagiah khuma; huan, Jabes mi tengtengin Nahas kiangah, ka kiang uah thu khung inla, huchiin na na ka sem ding uh, a chi ua.
2Nahash the Ammonite said to them, “On this condition I will make it with you, that all your right eyes be put out; and I will lay it for a reproach on all Israel.”
2Huan, Ammon mi Nahasin a kiang uah, hichibangin ah hi na kiang ua thu ka khun ding; na mit taklam tengteng uh khel khiak vek ding ahi dinga; huai tuh Israel mi tengteng adingin minsiatna ahi ding, a chi a.
3The elders of Jabesh said to him, “Give us seven day, that we may send messengers to all the borders of Israel; and then, if there is no one to save us, we will come out to you.”
3Huan, Jabes khuaa upaten a kiangah, Israel gam tengtenga mi ka honsawl tak dih theihna ding un ni sagih honna ngai tadihin: huai hon hondam kuamah a om kei uleh na kiangah ka hongpai khe ding uh, a chi ua.
4Then the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul, and spoke these words in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
4Huchiin a mi sawlte uh Saula omna khua Gibea a hongtung ua, mipite bila jakin huai thute a gen ua; huan, mipiten aw a suah ua, a kap uh.
5Behold, Saul came following the oxen out of the field; and Saul said, “What ails the people that they weep?” They told him the words of the men of Jabesh.
5Huan, ngaiin, lou akipanin Saula bawng hawlin a hongpaia; huan, Saulain, bang a chi ua ahia mipite a kah uh? A chi a. Huan, Jabes khuaa mite thugen a hilh ua.
6The Spirit of God came mightily on Saul when he heard those words, and his anger was kindled greatly.
6Huan, huai thu a jak takin Saula tungah Pathian kha a hongtung eka, nakpi takin a hehta hi.
7He took a yoke of oxen, and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the borders of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, “Whoever doesn’t come forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen.” The dread of Yahweh fell on the people, and they came out as one man.
7Huchiin bawng kop khat a gou a, a sa a sem nen veka, Israel gam tengteng ah sawltakte a hawmsaka, kuapeuh Saula leh Samuel honjui nuam lou peuhmah a bawng uh hichibanga hih tei ahi ding, chiin. Huchiin mipiten TOUPA a kihtata ua, thu khat satin a hongkuan kheta uh.
8He numbered them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
8Huan, Bezek mun ah a sima; Israel mite nuai thum ahi ua, Juda mi bel sing thum ahi uh.
9They said to the messengers who came, “Thus you shall tell the men of Jabesh Gilead, ‘Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you shall have deliverance.’” The messengers came and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
9Huan, a honsawl uh mite kiangah, Jabes-gilead mite kiangah, jingchiangin ni sat san laitak mahin hotkhiak na hi ding uh, vachi un, achi ua. Huan, a mi sawlte a vahoh ua, Jabes mite a hilh ua, huchiin a kipak mahmah uh.
10Therefore the men of Jabesh said, “Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you shall do with us all that seems good to you.”
10Huchiin Jabes miten, jingchiangin na kiang uah ka hong pawtkhe ding ua, ka tunguah na utut un hih mai un, a chi ua.
11It was so on the next day, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and struck the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it happened, that those who remained were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
11Huan, hichi a honghi a, ajingin Saulain mipite pawl thumin a bawla; huan, jing ven hun lai takin a giahmun uah alut ua, Ammon mite sun ni sat sanlai tak tanin a that ua: huan, hichi ahi a, a thah valte a dalh jak vek ua, niha om khawm himhim leng a om kei uh.
12The people said to Samuel, “Who is he who said, ‘Shall Saul reign over us?’ Bring those men, that we may put them to death!”
12Huan, mipiten Samuel kiangah, kuate ahi ua, Saulain I tunguah vai a hawm peuhmah ding maw, chi? Huai mite honpiin ka nahihlum ding uh, a chi ua.
13Saul said, “There shall not a man be put to death this day; for today Yahweh has worked deliverance in Israel.”
13Huan, Saulain, tuni chitchiatin jaw kuamah hihlup ding ahi kei; Tuniin TOUPAN Israelte lakah hotdamna a bawlta ngala, a chi a.
14Then Samuel said to the people, “Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.”
14Huchiin Samuelin mipite kiangah, kisa dih uh, Gilgal ah I hoh ding uh, huaiah lalgam I bawlthak ding uh, a chi a.Huchiin mipite tengteng Gilgal ah a hohta ua; Saula bel Gilgal ah TOUPA maah kumpipain a bawlta uh; huaiah TOUPA maah lemna kithoihnate a lan uh; huchiin huailaiah Saula leh Israel mi tengteng a kipak petpet uhi.
15All the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before Yahweh in Gilgal; and there they offered sacrifices of peace offerings before Yahweh; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
15Huchiin mipite tengteng Gilgal ah a hohta ua; Saula bel Gilgal ah TOUPA maah kumpipain a bawlta uh; huaiah TOUPA maah lemna kithoihnate a lan uh; huchiin huailaiah Saula leh Israel mi tengteng a kipak petpet uhi.
