< 1 Samuel 2 >

1 Hannah prayed, and said, “My heart exults in Yahweh! My horn is exalted in Yahweh. My mouth is enlarged over my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation.
Chuin hiti hin Hannah ataovin, “Kalungsung Pakaiyah akipah jinge, Pakaiyin eihat sah tai, Tun kamelma te donbutna ding kanei tai; Kakipahe’ ajeh chu nangman neilhatdoh tai.
2 There is no one as holy as Yahweh, for there is no one besides you, nor is there any rock like our God.
Pakai tobanga theng adang aumpoi! Nangma tobang koima dang aumpoi, Eiho Pathen tobang songpi dang aumpoi.
3 “Don’t keep talking so exceedingly proudly. Don’t let arrogance come out of your mouth, for Yahweh is a God of knowledge. By him actions are weighed.
Kiletsah vallin thu seidan, Hoitho nathu Nakam’in phapoh hih hellin. ahetlou imacha aumpoi, natohho jouse thu atanding ahi.
4 “The bows of the mighty men are broken. Those who stumbled are armed with strength.
Galhat te thalpi jouse tunvang akiheh bongtan, mi thalhom chu thahat akisotai.
5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread. Those who were hungry are satisfied. Yes, the barren has borne seven. She who has many children languishes.
Oi vasetna neten, nehding nelouvin kel thoh in aum’un, agilkelho avasoh tauve.
6 “Yahweh kills and makes alive. He brings down to Sheol and brings up. (Sheol h7585)
Pakaiyin thinale hinna ani gellin apen, aman abang lhankhuh ah alhahsuh sah in, abang akaithouve. (Sheol h7585)
7 Yahweh makes poor and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts up.
Pakai in abang avaichat sah’in, adang ahao sah in choisang in. abang alhahsuh sah in abang aphong ding in ahi.
8 He raises up the poor out of the dust. He lifts up the needy from the dunghill to make them sit with princes and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are Yahweh’s. He has set the world on them.
Aman vaichaho leivuija konin aphong sangin chule angaichate vutvam lah’a kon’in aneiloute achoisangin ahi. Leng chapate lah’a tousah dingle, loupina laltouna-a tousah-a, thilsemho jouse hi Pakai ja ding ahi, chule vannoija thilho jouse kitoh tah in akoiye.
9 He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness; for no man will prevail by strength.
Aman ama dinga tahsan umtah hochu aventup ding ahi, ahinlah michonse ho chu muthim lah’a mangthah ding ahiuve. Ajeh chu athahat na a koimacha dingjoulou ding ahi.
10 Those who strive with Yahweh shall be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in the sky. “Yahweh will judge the ends of the earth. He will give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.”
Pakai douna-a galsat ho chu cheh chao ding ahiuve, amaho douna-a vana kona keh alhah sah ding ahi; Pakaiyin vana kon in thu ahin tan in amadinga thaonu changho chung ah, vannoija aman alengho thuneina apen athanei nao abelap peh in ahi.
11 Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. The child served Yahweh before Eli the priest.
Chujouvin Samuel jaolouvin, Elkanah jong a in lam Ramah kho ah akiletan ahi.
12 Now the sons of Eli were wicked men. They didn’t know Yahweh.
Eli chapa teni chu migilou michavai ahilhon toh kilhon’in Pakai gin nale jana pelou ahilhone.
13 The custom of the priests with the people was that when anyone offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant came while the meat was boiling, with a fork of three teeth in his hand;
Hichelaiya thempu hija atoh dingdol mi koi tobang hamkhat in kilhaina atodoh teng lhachapa chun, sa kithat kihonsou pet tah leh satul kathum neikhat ahin puma ahinsol jia ahi.
14 and he stabbed it into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or pot. The priest took all that the fork brought up for himself. They did this to all the Israelites who came there to Shiloh.
Hiche thihkhe chu khangbel sunga asolutna, asodoh pen pen chu Eli chate apeh ding, Israel chate Shiloh a gan kilhaina hunglha jouse hitia chu gihna aneiji lhon ahi.
15 Yes, before they burned the fat, the priest’s servant came, and said to the man who sacrificed, “Give meat to roast for the priest; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, but raw.”
Abang komle sathaoho kilhutvam masangle thempupa sohpa chu hunga kilhaina ganthatpa jah’a chu hitia ahung sei jin, “Thempupa kigo ding sahing neipen, ajeh chu aman nangma honminsa chu akilah louhel ding ahi, sahing bou adei ahiye,” tia ahung sei ding ahi.
16 If the man said to him, “Let the fat be burned first, and then take as much as your soul desires;” then he would say, “No, but you shall give it to me now; and if not, I will take it by force.”
Mihem gan kilhaina kin sempa chun hitin adonbut jin ahi, “Nadeijat jat kilah in, ahinlah athao kihallha masading ahi,” atijin, ahin thempu sohpan jong, “Ahipoi nangman atuma neipeh doh ding ahi, achuti louva ahileh keiman pumhatna kalah Peh ding nahi,” tin aseijin ahi.
17 The sin of the young men was very great before Yahweh; for the men despised Yahweh’s offering.
Hitichun hiche khangthah teni chonsetna chu akhohlheh jengtan, ajeh chu Pakai maicham jeng jong chu kimit thipna changing aneitauvin ahi.
18 But Samuel ministered before Yahweh, being a child, clothed with a linen ephod.
Ahinlah Samuel chu chapang cha hijongle, Pakai lhachan apangtai. Thempu kivonna tupat ponnem khat in akong akigah jin Pakai angsung ah lhachan apang jitan ahi.
19 Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
Kumseh leh anun sangkhol chol neo khat akhuipeh in ainneipu toh kilhaina gantha bolding in achekhom lhonin ahi.
20 Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, “May Yahweh give you offspring from this woman for the petition which was asked of Yahweh.” Then they went to their own home.
Inlama ahung kile masang teng’u leh, Eli in Elkanah le ainneipi phatthei abohjin chule hitin aseiji’e, “Pakaiyin hiche na inneipi chapa khat napeh jeh in, amanu’a konin chale nao tampi nahinsah hen,” tin aseiye.
21 Yahweh visited Hannah, and she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. The child Samuel grew before Yahweh.
Chule Pakaiyin chapa thumle chanu ni apen, hitichun Samuel chu Pakai angsung’a ahung khangtou touvin ahi.
22 Now Eli was very old; and he heard all that his sons did to all Israel, and how that they slept with the women who served at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
Tun Eli chu ateh lheh jeng tan, chujong le achapa tenin Israel mi tampi abol nalhon thu kithang, kikhopna ponbuh kotpi phunga lhacha a pang numeiho aluppi lhon jong ajatai.
23 He said to them, “Why do you do such things? For I hear of your evil dealings from all these people.
Hijeh chun Eli in ajah lhon ah, “Nathilbol lhon jouse Israel mipiten kakoma aseiyun kajasoh keitai, ipi bolla hitobang chonsetna hi nabol lhon ham?
24 No, my sons; for it is not a good report that I hear! You make Yahweh’s people disobey.
Na ngah teitei lhon ding ahi, kachateni! Pakai mitea kona kajah thucheng hohi ahoihih beh jeng in ahi.
25 If one man sins against another, God will judge him; but if a man sins against Yahweh, who will intercede for him?” Notwithstanding, they didn’t listen to the voice of their father, because Yahweh intended to kill them.
Mihem khat chu mihem dang khat douna-a achonset na ahileh Pathen in asuhcham thei ahi, amavang mihem khat chu Pakai douna a achonsetna ahileh, koipen in ama dinga asei champeh ding hitam?” ati. Ahinlah Eli chapa tenin apa thusei ngainah sah in anei lhon poi. Hijeh chun Pakaiyin amani thina ding gonsan akoi tai.
26 The child Samuel grew on, and increased in favor both with Yahweh and also with men.
Chapang cha hijongle, Samuel vang chu Pakai le mihemte mitmu’n akhangtou touvin ahi.
27 A man of God came to Eli and said to him, “Yahweh says, ‘Did I reveal myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt in bondage to Pharaoh’s house?
Nikhat hi Pathen mi khat Eli koma ahung in, ahin amachu Pakaiya konin thu ahinpo in, hitin aseipeh tai, “Keima, Egypt gamsung Pharaoh insunga sohchanga aumlaiyuva napa insung mite henga kei le kei kiphong doh’a kahitai.
28 Didn’t I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? Didn’t I give to the house of your father all the offerings of the children of Israel made by fire?
Keiman Aaron hi Israel phung jousea kona kathempu hiding chule ka maicham chunga thilto ding, gim namtwi halding chule kamasanga thempu sangkhol chol kivon’a, kakin tong ding’a kalhendoh nahi hilou ham? Chule Israel chatea kona kimudoh keidinga thilto jouse chu napa insung mite kapeh dohsa ahitai.
29 Why do you kick at my sacrifice and at my offering, which I have commanded in my habitation, and honor your sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel my people?’
Achutia ahileh ipi dinga kaumna a kathupeh gankilhaina le kathilto napai manga, kami Israelte thilpeh jousea kona ahoipen chun nathaodoh sah na dinga keisanga nachapa teni naja boljoh ham? Kami Israelte thilto aphalai laiya chu nangho kivah thaochet nahiu hitam?” ati.
30 “Therefore Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘I said indeed that your house and the house of your father should walk before me forever.’ But now Yahweh says, ‘Far be it from me; for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me will be cursed.
“Hijeh a chu Pakai Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye, keiman nangma Levi insungle napa insung chu imatih chana kathempu a pang diu ahi tia nasei sa ahin, ahinlah keima eija a chu keiman jong amachu kaja ding ahi, chule keima giltah’a eibol louva chu keiman jong kakhohsah lou ding ahi.
31 Behold, the days come that I will cut off your arm and the arm of your father’s house, that there will not be an old man in your house.
Phat ahung lhunge, vetan, Keiman nathaneina kasuh bei nading nikho ahung nai tul tule, Hiteng chule nain sunga pasal tehse khat chabeh jong hung umlou ding ahiye.
32 You will see the affliction of my habitation, in all the wealth which I will give Israel. There shall not be an old man in your house forever.
Hiche phatteng chule Israel te kipe haona chu nangman ngaicha geova, namit lhilha lha a nahin vet ding ahi chujongle nainsunga kona pasal ateh’a thi khatna khat cha jong umdoh lou ding ahitai.
33 The man of yours whom I don’t cut off from my altar will consume your eyes and grieve your heart. All the increase of your house will die in the flower of their age.
Ahingdoh chasun jong gim hesoh thoh'a umdiu, chule achate hou jong thise jenga thi diu ahi.
34 This will be the sign to you that will come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they will both die.
Kathusei ho adih avetsahna chu, kathusei hochu hung guilhung ding, hichu nachateni chunga hung lhung ding, Hophni chule Phinehas, nikhat sunga ani lhon’a thiding ahi!
35 I will raise up a faithful priest for myself who will do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind. I will build him a sure house. He will walk before my anointed forever.
Chutengle keiman tahsan umtah thempu eijen dingle kalung deitah bolding katundoh ding ahi. Ainsung jeng jong katundoh peh a, chule amaho chu kaleng tundoh ho thempu a tonsot'a pang dingu ahi.
36 It will happen that everyone who is left in your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and will say, “Please put me into one of the priests’ offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread.”’”
Chuteng nainsung’a ahing chengse a angsunga bohkhup uva, paisa le an athum diu, “Lungset tah in” tia asei diu, natoh ding neipeuvin, thempuho lah ah, chuteng keihon nehding kham neitavinge, atidiu ahi,” ati.
