1 Samuel 15
1 Samuel said to Saul, “Yahweh sent me to anoint you to be king over his people, over Israel. Now therefore listen to the voice of Yahweh’s words.
Nikhat Saul koma Samuel chun, “Israelte chunga leng dinga nangma thaonu dinga eina sol’a chu Pakai amatah chu ahi, hijeh a chu tua Pakai thusei hi nangaiding ahi,” ati.
2 Yahweh of Armies says, ‘I remember what Amalek did to Israel, how he set himself against him on the way when he came up out of Egypt.
Hiche hi van gam sepaite Pakaiyin aphondoh ahi, Israel mite Egypt a kona ahung potdoh uva chu lampia iti analamtin jeh uva, Amalek chunga hi talen kamatsah ding ahitai.
3 Now go and strike Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and don’t spare them; but kill both man and woman, infant and nursing baby, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’”
Tun che unlang Amalek mite chu abonchan gathat gamkeijun, nao noichep ho geija natha ding’u, khatcha jong nakhen lou diu, pasal, numei, chapang, naosen, bong, kelcha, sangongsao, chule sangan ho chang geiya natha gam diu ahi,” ati.
4 Saul summoned the people, and counted them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen and ten thousand men of Judah.
Chutah’in Saul in mipi ho chu Telaim mun’ah akhomin, amaho chu Israel mite’a konin keng sepai sang jani chule Judah a kona mi sangsom ahiuve.
5 Saul came to the city of Amalek, and set an ambush in the valley.
Chuin Saul le a sepaite chu Amalek te khopi’ah alut un, phaicham mun khat’ah chun angah tauve.
6 Saul said to the Kenites, “Go, depart, go down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them; for you showed kindness to all the children of Israel when they came up out of Egypt.” So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
Saul in Ken miteho gihna thu apen, “Amalek miho umna-a konin potdoh’un, achuti louva ahile Amalek mihotoh nathitha dingu ahi, Nangho vang chu kami Israel chate jouse Egypt’a kona ahung potdoh uchun hepina namusah un ahi,” tin thu apen ahi. Chuin Ken mihon apot akigot’un adalha tauve.
7 Saul struck the Amalekites, from Havilah as you go to Shur, which is before Egypt.
Chuin Saul in Amalek mite chu Havilah apat solam Egypt toh kigalsai Shur khopi lutna geijin gal ana sat’in asumangpeh tan ahi.
8 He took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
Chuin aman Amalek lengpa chu ahing in aman in midang jouse chu chemjam in athat soh hel tan ahi.
9 But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, of the cattle, of the fat calves, of the lambs, and all that was good, and were not willing to utterly destroy them; but everything that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.
Ahinlah Saul le mipi chun, Amalek mi Agag le kelngoi, kelcha, bongchal thao hole ahoipen ho ahing hoijun, aphalou ahoilou chengse chu asumanghel tan ahi.
10 Then Yahweh’s word came to Samuel, saying,
Chuin Pakaiyin Samuel komah aseijin ahi,
11 “It grieves me that I have set up Saul to be king, for he has turned back from following me, and has not performed my commandments.” Samuel was angry; and he cried to Yahweh all night.
“Saul lenga kana tun hi kakisihtai ajeh chu aman eidonse tapon chule kathupeh ho jong anit tapoi,” ati. Hiche thu Samuel in ajahdoh phat in alung atongkhan, jan khovah hellin Pakai hengah akaptai.
12 Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning; and Samuel was told, saying, “Saul came to Carmel, and behold, he set up a monument for himself, turned, passed on, and went down to Gilgal.”
Ajing jingkah matah in Samuel jong Saul kimupi dingin achetan ahile, mi khat’in, “Saul chun Carmel khopi’a amale ama kihet jingna ding mangmo khat akisem din Gilgal lam achesuh tan ahi,” tin aseipeh tan ahi.
13 Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, “You are blessed by Yahweh! I have performed the commandment of Yahweh.”
Chuin Samuel in Saul chu amu phat in, Saul in kipah tah’in ana salam, “Pakaiyin phatthei naboh hen, keiman Pakai seibang bangin kaboltai,” atin ahi.
14 Samuel said, “Then what does this bleating of the sheep in my ears and the lowing of the cattle which I hear mean?”
Samuel in, “Ahile kanabeng’a kelngoi hamgin le bongchal hamgin kajah hi ipiba hija ong?” ati.
15 Saul said, “They have brought them from the Amalekites; for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the cattle, to sacrifice to Yahweh your God. We have utterly destroyed the rest.”
Hichun Saul in adonbut in, “Adih’e, kasepai tehon amale Amalek mite akona ahin kaiju ahi, ajeh chu mipihon kelngoi hole bongchal aphapen penho chu, ‘Pakai na Pathen lhaina dinga ahing hoiju ahi,’ adangho vang kasumang heltaove,” ati.
16 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Stay, and I will tell you what Yahweh said to me last night.” He said to him, “Say on.”
Chuin Samuel’in Saul koma aseiyin, “Thip in! Tujan Pakaiyin kahenga thu asei hi ngaijin!” ati. Hichun Saul in, “Ipi naseipeh em?” tin Saul in adongin ahi.
17 Samuel said, “Though you were little in your own sight, weren’t you made the head of the tribes of Israel? Yahweh anointed you king over Israel;
Chuin Samuel in, “Nangma neocha nakigel maithei ahi, nangma Israel nam mite jouse lah’a lamkai nahi hilou ham? Pakaiyin leng dinga thaonanu ahi.
18 and Yahweh sent you on a journey, and said, ‘Go, and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.’
Chule Pakai in anatong dinga nasolla, chen michonse Amalek mite gathat gamkeijin atin.
19 Why then didn’t you obey Yahweh’s voice, but took the plunder, and did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight?”
Ipi bolla Pakai thupeh nanit louham? Ipi jeh pentah jeh a thil nachom’a Pakai mitmua thilse nabol ham?” ati.
20 Saul said to Samuel, “But I have obeyed Yahweh’s voice, and have gone the way which Yahweh sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
Saul’in, “Ahinlah Pakai thupeh kabolle, bollin tia eisol na kagabolle. Agag lengpa bou ahing’a kahin kai ahin. Ahin adangse vang kahin that gamnai,” ati nalaiyin ahi.
21 But the people took of the plunder, sheep and cattle, the best of the devoted things, to sacrifice to Yahweh your God in Gilgal.”
Chutengle kasepaiten, kelngoi, kelcha, bongchal, athaolai, ahoilai hole thil kichom hohi Gilgal’a na Pathen houna-a dinga ahin kaiyu ahibouve,” ati.
22 Samuel said, “Has Yahweh as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying Yahweh’s voice? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.
Ahin Samuel in, “Pakai chu pumgo thilto kibol le athupeh ngaipeh hi hoijoh’a hi kipah inte natim? Ngaijin! Sei ngai kitihi gan kilhai sanga phajo ahin, kangcha athusei ngaipeh kitihi kelngoichal thao sang’a phajo ahi,” tin adonbut in ahi.
23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim. Because you have rejected Yahweh’s word, he has also rejected you from being king.”
Pakai doumah kibol kiti hi kithoi phunsan tobang ahin, chule louchal kiti hi doi houva themmo chan tobang ahi. Pakai thupeh napai jeh a Aman leng nahina’a kona napai ahitai,” ati.
24 Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of Yahweh and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice.
Saul in, “Henge, keima kachonsetai, keiman neihilna hojong kangaipon chule Pakai thupeh jong kanit tapoi, kasepaite kagin jeh’a athil thum hou kabolpeh ahitai,” ati.
25 Now therefore, please pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship Yahweh.”
“Hijeh chun kachonsetna hohi nei ngaidam in lang chule Pathen kahou thei nadin nei kinung lhonpin,” ati.
26 Samuel said to Saul, “I will not return with you; for you have rejected Yahweh’s word, and Yahweh has rejected you from being king over Israel.”
Ahinlah Samuel in adonbut in, “Keitoh ikinung lhon theilou ding ahi! Pakai thupeh na paimang jeh’a, aman Israel te lenga kona napaidoh ahitai,” ati.
27 As Samuel turned around to go away, Saul grabbed the skirt of his robe, and it tore.
Hichun Samuel chemang dinga akiheiya ahile, aman asangkhol chol mong chun aman in aloi eh-lotan ahi.
28 Samuel said to him, “Yahweh has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today, and has given it to a neighbor of yours who is better than you.
Chuin Samuel in ajah ah, “Tunia hi Pakaiyin Israelte lenggam chu nanga kona nalah peh’a, nang sanga phajo khat apeh doh ahitai,” ati.
29 Also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent.”
“Israel Pathen lal loupi tah chun ajou louding, alung jong khel lou ding ahi, ajeh chu ama lungkhel ding mihem tobang ahipoi,” ati
30 Then he said, “I have sinned; yet please honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel, and come back with me, that I may worship Yahweh your God.”
Hichun Saul’in ngaidam athum kit in, “Chonse kahi, keiman kakihet e, ahin nei lungset in, kalamkai ho masang le, kami Israel mite masanga kajum lou nadin, nei kilhonpi tei teijin, chutile Pakai na Pathen kahou ding ahi,” ati.
31 So Samuel went back with Saul; and Saul worshiped Yahweh.
Hichun Samuel jong achaina in kinung lhonpi ding anomtai, chule Pathen houna ah ajaotai.
32 Then Samuel said, “Bring Agag the king of the Amalekites here to me!” Agag came to him cheerfully. Agag said, “Surely the bitterness of death is past.”
Chuin Samuel in, “Agag lengpa chu kaheng’a hinpuijun,” atin ahile, Agag lengpa jong kinemtah in akipah lheh in ahi, ajeh chu ama alunggel’a chu, “kagim na ho kichaiya, eikilhadoh di ahitai,” tia agel ahi.
33 Samuel said, “As your sword has made women childless, so your mother will be childless among women!” Then Samuel cut Agag in pieces before Yahweh in Gilgal.
Ahinlah Samuel in, “Nachemjam’a hi minu acha pasal tamtah nana that in, tun nanu jong hitobanga chu chaneilou hitahen,” atin ahi. Chuin Samuel in Agag chu Pakai masang ah Gilgal mun ah asatchen chen tan ahi.
34 Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
Chuin Samuel Ramah a ainlam ajon in chule Saul jong Gibeah a ain’ah akile tai.
35 Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death, but Samuel mourned for Saul. Yahweh grieved that he had made Saul king over Israel.
Chujou kalsen Samuel in Saul kimupin ache kha-ngai tapoi, ahinlah tanglou vin alunghempi jingin ahi. Pakaiyin Saul Israel te lenga anatun chu akisih lheh jenge.
