1Samuel said to all Israel, “Behold, I have listened to your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you.
1Huan, Samuelin Israel mite tengteng kiangah, ngai dih ua, ka kianga na thugen tengteng uh ka pom hi, kumpipa ding lah ka honbawlsakta a.
2Now, behold, the king walks before you; and I am old and gray-headed; and behold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my youth to this day.
2Tuin ngai dih ua, kumpipain na ma uh a kaia; kei jaw ka na tekin ka lu leng a kangta a: huan, ngaidih ua, ka tapate na kiang uah a om ua; ka valnou lai akipanin tutanin na ma uh ka pi.
3Here I am. Witness against me before Yahweh, and before his anointed. Whose ox have I taken? Whose donkey have I taken? Whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed? Of whose hand have I taken a ransom to blind my eyes therewith? I will restore it to you.”
3Hiailaiah ka om: TOUPA ma leh a sathau nilhpa maah honsel un; kua bawngtal ahia ka suh ngei? Kua sabengtung ahia ka suh ngei? Kua ka khem ngeia? Kua ka simmoh ngei a? ka mit tosak dingin kua akipanin ahia golhna ka lak ngei? Ka hondin nawn vek ding, a chi a.
4They said, “You have not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither have you taken anything of any man’s hand.”
4Huan, amau, non khem ngeikei, non simmoh ngei samkei, kuamah khut akipanin lak tuak louh leng na la ngeikei, a chi ua.
5He said to them, “Yahweh is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand.” They said, “He is witness.”
5Huan, aman a kiang uah, ka khut ah bangmah kilawm lou na mu kei uh chih tuniin TOUPA na lak uah a theipa ahi, a sathaunilhpa a theipa ahi, a chi a. Huan, amau, Amah a theipa ahi, a chi ua.
6Samuel said to the people, “It is Yahweh who appointed Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.
6Huan, Samuelin mipi kiangah, Mosi leh Aron seppa leh Aigupta akipana na pipute uh pi khepa TOUPA ahi.
7Now therefore stand still, that I may plead with you before Yahweh concerning all the righteous acts of Yahweh, which he did to you and to your fathers.
7Huchiin ding kinken unla, TOUPA maah TOUPAN na tung uh leh na pipute uh tunga thil kizen taka a nahih sek dan ka honsut pih peuhmah ding.
8“When Jacob had come into Egypt, and your fathers cried to Yahweh, then Yahweh sent Moses and Aaron, who brought your fathers out of Egypt, and made them to dwell in this place.
8Aigupta gama Jakob a lut nungin, na pipute un TOUPA a sam ua, huchiin TOUPAN Mosi leh Aron a sawl a, amau na pipute uh Aigupta gam akipanin a pi khia ua, hiailai munah a omsak ua.
9“But they forgot Yahweh their God; and he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the army of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab; and they fought against them.
9Himahleh TOUPA a Pathian uh a mangngilh ua; huan, aman Hazor sepaih heutu Seser khut ah leh Philistia mite khut ah leh Moab kumpipa khut ah a khawnga, huan, amau a dou uh.
10They cried to Yahweh, and said, ‘We have sinned, because we have forsaken Yahweh, and have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve you.’
10Huan, TOUPA a sam ua, TOUPA I lehngatsana, Baal leh Astoroth na I sep jiakin I nakhialta uh: himahleh I melmate khuta kipan hon honkheta inla, huchiin na na ka sem ding uh, a chi ua.
11Yahweh sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side; and you lived in safety.
11Huan, TOUPAN Jerubaal te Bendan te, Jepth te, Samuel te a sawl a, khatlam khatlama na melma uh mite khut akipan a hon honkhiaa, bit takin na om uh.
12“When you saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, you said to me, ‘No, but a king shall reign over us;’ when Yahweh your God was your king.
12Huan, Ammon suante kumpipa Nahas nou hondou dingin a hongkuan chih na theih tak un ka kiangah, ahi kei, kumpipan vai hon hawmsak hen, na chi ua; TOUPA Pathian lah na kumpipa uh ahi gige ngala.
13Now therefore see the king whom you have chosen, and whom you have asked for: and behold, Yahweh has set a king over you.
13Huchiin na kumpipa tel uleh nget uh en dih uh; en dih uh, TOUPAN kumpipa a honbawlsakta hi.
14If you will fear Yahweh, and serve him, and listen to his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of Yahweh, then both you and also the king who reigns over you are followers of Yahweh your God.
14TOUPA laudan na siam ua, a na na sep ua, a aw na ngaihkhiak ua, TOUPA thupiak na helsan kei ua, nou leh na tung ua vaihawm kumpipa toh TOUPA na Pathian uh juite na hih uleh a hoih dinga;
15But if you will not listen to the voice of Yahweh, but rebel against the commandment of Yahweh, then will the hand of Yahweh be against you, as it was against your fathers.
15Ahihhangin TOUPA aw na ngaihkhiak kei ua, TOUPA thupiak na helsan uleh na pipute un TOUPA khut a thuak mah bang un nou leng na thuak ding uh.
16“Now therefore stand still and see this great thing, which Yahweh will do before your eyes.
16Huchiin ding kinken unla, TOUPAN na mitmuh ua thil thupi tak a hih ding na en un.
17Isn’t it wheat harvest today? I will call to Yahweh, that he may send thunder and rain; and you shall know and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of Yahweh, in asking for a king.”
17Tuniin buh a la uh ahi kei maw? van gingsak ding leh vuah zusak dingin TOUPA ka sam dinga, huchiin kumpipa na nget thu uah TOUPA mitmuh a thil na hihkhelh uh a thupidan na thei un na mu ding uh, a chi a.
18So Samuel called to Yahweh; and Yahweh sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared Yahweh and Samuel.
18Huchiin Samuelin TOUPA a sama, TOUPAN huai niin van a ging saka, vuah a zusaka; huchiin mipiin TOUPA leh Samuel a kihta mahmah uh.
19All the people said to Samuel, “Pray for your servants to Yahweh your God, that we not die; for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask us a king.”
19Huan, mipi tengtengin Samuel kiangah, ka sih louhna ding un TOUPA na Pathian kiangah na sikhate hon thumsakin, hiai thil hoihlou tak, kumpipa ka nanget uh, ka gitlouhna tengteng uh behlap ka na hita uh, a chi ua.
20Samuel said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. You have indeed done all this evil; yet don’t turn aside from following Yahweh, but serve Yahweh with all your heart.
20Huan, Samuelin mipite kiangah, Lau kei un, hiai thil hoihlou tak hih jaw na hih ngeingut ua, himahleh TOUPA na zuih uh pialsan tuan kei unla, na lungtang tengteng un TOUPA na sem jaw uh;
21Don’t turn aside to go after vain things which can’t profit nor deliver, for they are vain.
21Kinepna ding bei bangmahlou leh nou hon honkhe theilou juiin pial kei un, bangmahlou hal ahi ngal ua.
22For Yahweh will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake, because it has pleased Yahweh to make you a people to himself.
22Amin thupi tak jiakin TOUPAN lah a mite a lehngatsan sin keia: noute amah mi dia bawl lah TOUPA kipah lamtak ahi ngala.
23Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against Yahweh in ceasing to pray for you: but I will instruct you in the good and the right way.
23Huai phet leng ahi keia, nou adia thum tawpa, TOUPA tunga khelh kei adingin ahi dek het kei hi; lampi hoih leh lampi dik ka hon kawkmuh zo jel ding hi.
24Only fear Yahweh, and serve him in truth with all your heart; for consider how great things he has done for you.
24TOUPA laudan siam photphot unla, na lungtang tengteng un chihtaktakin a na sem unla; nou dinga thil a hih thupidan ngaihtuah dih ve un.Himahleh gilou taka thil na hih lailai uleh na mangthang ding uh, nou leh na kumpipa uh, a chi a.
25But if you shall still do wickedly, you shall be consumed, both you and your king.”
25Himahleh gilou taka thil na hih lailai uleh na mangthang ding uh, nou leh na kumpipa uh, a chi a.
