1 Samuel 12
1 Samuel 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.
Chuin Samuel chun Israel pumpi jah ding in thu aseiyin, “Veuvin kahenga nasei jouseu kangaiyin, nachung uva vaihom ding leng khat jong kasempeh tauve.
2 Now, behold, the king walks before you. I am old and gray-headed. Behold, my sons are with you. I have walked before you from my youth to this day.
Naleng’u hi tun nalamkai-u jong ahitai, namasang laitah uva kadinge, kumtam tehse samkang kahitai. Kachapate to nakiloi diu ahi. Kachapan laiya kipan in tuni chengeijin nalamkaiyun kahung pang in ahi.
3 Here 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 bribe to make me blind my eyes? I will restore it to you.”
Tun hikoma ka-ume, koi bongchal ahiloule koi sangan kalahpeh umkha em? Koi kalheplhah umkha em? Koi kasuhgenthei umkha em? Koi koma sumguh tholla kalahpeh umkha em? Pakai le athao nupa ang’ah kachung chang thu hettohsah pumin nei seipeh un, kana suhkhel aum jongleh tun sudih inge,” ati.
4 They said, “You have not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither have you taken anything from anyone’s hand.”
Mipin adonbut’un, “Aumpoi, nangman nei joulhep kha pouve, nangman keihoa kon in thil neocha jeng jong nalapoi,” atiuve.
5 He said to them, “Yahweh is witness against you, and his anointed is witness today, that you have not found anything in my hand.” They said, “He is witness.”
“Pakai le athaonu pa hi tunia na angsung laitah uva ahetoh ahi, kanung thu atheng’e” tin Samuel aphongdoh in ahi. Chuin mipin, “Henge amahi ahetoh ahi,” tin adonbut uve.
6 Samuel said to the people, “It is Yahweh who appointed Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.
Samuel in abanjom ding, “Aaron le Mose anagong jong chu Pathen ahi, napu napateu Egypt a kona ahin puidohpa chu Ama chu ahi,” ati.
7 Now 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.
“Hijeh chun, tun nangho le napu napateu chunga Pakai thilkidang nasatah tah abol chengse geldoh sah u bang chun Pakai masanga nangho dingdet un,” ati.
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.
“Israel mite Egypt a aumlaiyun, Pakai henga akapun ahile, Aman Mose le Aaron Israelte chu Egypt gam'a konin ahin puidoh sah lhonin, hiche gam'a ahin lhut lhontai.
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.
Ahivangin mipiten hetman louvin Pakai a Pathen-u asumil’un, aman Sisera, Hazor khopia sepai janel gal lamkai khut le Philistine te khut’a chule Moab lengpa khut’a apeh doh in ahi.
10 They 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.’
Chuin amaho Pakai henga akap’un, keihon Pakai kadalhau vin Baal lim le Ashtoreth kahou jeh un kachonse taove, ahinlah tun kamelmateu khut’a konin neihuhdoh uvin, chutileh nangma kajhou diu ahi atiuve.
11 Yahweh sent Jerubbaal, Bedan, Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side; and you lived in safety.
Chutengle, Pakaiyin Gideon, Bedan, Jephthah chule Samuel asol in muntina namel mate hou khut’a konin neihuhdoh’un lungmong in acheng tauvin ahi.
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.
“Pakai na Pathen-u chu nalengpao ahilaiyin, Ammon chate lengpa Nahash nangho douna-a ahung namu phat un, nanghon kahenga, ahipoi, leng khat in kachunguva vai ahomding ahibouve natiuve,
13 Now therefore see the king whom you have chosen and whom you have asked for. Behold, Yahweh has set a king over you.
Tun veuvin, nanghon nalhen ule na ngaichat’u lengpa chu hikoma aume chule veuvin, Pakaiyin nachunguva leng khat atungtai.
14 If 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.
Tun Pakai nagin uva chule nahou uva, chule athusei chu na ngai uva, nadoudal loubeh uva ahileh nangho le na lengpau vin Pakai chu Pathen ahi ti avetsah na ahitai.
15 But if you will not listen to Yahweh’s voice, but rebel against the commandment of Yahweh, then Yahweh’s hand will be against you, as it was against your fathers.
Ahinlah Pakai thusei chu nadoudal vang uleh, chule na ngaipeh lou uva ahivangle, akhut nachunguva gihsa ding, nangle namite chunga chu ding.
16 “Now therefore stand still and see this great thing, which Yahweh will do before your eyes.
Pakaiyin, thil lentah tah abol ding ho, tun dingdoh uvin lang ven,” ati.
17 Isn’t it wheat harvest today? I will call to Yahweh, that he may send thunder and rain; and you will know and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in Yahweh’s sight, in asking for a king.”
“Nanghon naheuve, tuphat hi suhlou chang at-lai ahin go ajuji pon ahi, ahin tao leng Pakaiyin van kithinsah in tin go ju ding ahi. Hiteng chule Pakai koma leng nathumu chu Ama douna melse tah a chonse nahiu kihet tauvin nate,” ati.
18 So Samuel called to Yahweh, and Yahweh sent thunder and rain that day. Then all the people greatly feared Yahweh and Samuel.
Chuin Samuel in Pakai akouvin ahile, hiche nikho chun Pakaiyin vanginle keh ahin sol’in, hiti chun mipi chun Pakai le Samuel aging tauvin ahi.
19 All 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 for a king.”
Mijouse chun Samuel hengah, “Pakai henga neitaopeh un, achuti louva ahileh kathigam diu ahi,” atiuve. “Tua hi leng ithum jeh uva chonset ikiholbe’u ahitai,” atiuve.
20 Samuel said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. You have indeed done all this evil; yet don’t turn away from following Yahweh, but serve Yahweh with all your heart.
Hichun Samuel in, “Kichahih uvin, nabol khel’u ahitai, ahinlah Pathen phaten dihtah in hou-uvin nalungthim pumpin houvun, chule kinungle kit bol hih’un,” atin ahi.
21 Don’t turn away to go after vain things which can’t profit or deliver, for they are vain.
“Nungchon hih beh’un, nungchon a milim pao theilou hochun napanpi louhel diu ahi, hiho chu pannabei jeng ahiuve.
22 For Yahweh will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake, because it has pleased Yahweh to make you a people for himself.
Pakaiyin amite itih hijongle adalhah louhel ding ahi, ajeh chu adalhah'a ahile ama amin lentah chu asuhminset ding ahi. Hijeh chun Pakaiyin nangho amite dia agot hi ama lunglhaina ahi,” ati.
23 Moreover, 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.
“Keima vang, nangho ding’a taopeh hi ka ngah’a, hichu Pakai douna-a kachonset louhel ding ahi. Chule thilpha le thildih nabol jing diuhi nangma kahil jing ding ahi.
24 Only fear Yahweh, and serve him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things he has done for you.
Ahinlah hiche hi naboltei diu ahi, Pakai chu ging’un chule tahsan umtah in jen’un, chule nangho ding’a thilkidang abol jouse chu geldoh jing’un.
25 But if you keep doing evil, you will be consumed, both you and your king.”
Ahinlah nachonset jom jing uva ahileh, nangho le nalengpau kisumang ding ahi,” ati.
