1 Samuel 16

1 Pakaiyin Samuel koma, “Nangman phat sottah Saul chungchanga pul nadou chu phaset tante, keiman ama chu Israelte leng ahina akona kapaidoh ahitai, hijeh chun nathao theiyah olive tao kithun dim inlang Bethlehem’ah chetan. Hiche khopi cheng amin Jesse kitipa chu holdoh in, ajeh chu keiman achate lah’a khat chu leng dinga kalhendohsa hitai,” ati.

The Lord then saide vnto Samuel, Howe long wilt thou mourne for Saul, seeing I haue cast him away from reigning ouer Israel? fill thine horne with oyle and come, I will sende thee to Ishai the Bethlehemite: for I haue prouided mee a King among his sonnes.

2 Ahin Samuel in adongin, “Keiman hichu iti kabolthei ding ham? Hichepi chu Saul in jadoh henlang hileh eitha loding ahi,” ati. Pakaiyin adonbut in, “Bong ala khat kikai inlang chen, chule Pakaiya dinga gan kilhaina-a dinga hung kahi tin,” ati.

And Samuel sayde, Howe can I goe? for if Saul shall heare it, he will kill me. Then the Lord answered, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to doe sacrifice to the Lord.

3 “Chule gan kilhaina ah Jesse kouvin, chuteng keiman achate lah’a koipen chu kei dinga thao nanuding ham ti chu nahetsah nange,” ati.

And call Ishai to the sacrifice, and I will shewe thee what thou shalt doe, and thou shalt anoynt vnto me him whom I name vnto thee.

4 Chuin Samuel in Pakaiyin ahilbang chun aboltai. Ama Bethlehem alhun phat chun, khopi sunga um upa ho jouse chu kitihotpum pum’in akimu piuvin, “Ipi adihlou umham? Chamna puma nahungu hinam?” tin ana dongun ahi.

So Samuel did that the Lord bade him, and came to Beth-lehem, and the Elders of the towne were astonied at his comming, and sayd, Commest thou peaceablie?

5 Hichun Samuel in, “Henge, keima gan kilhaina a dinga hunga kahi, nabonchauvin Pakaiya dingin kisutheng unlang gankilhaina’a ding in cheuhite,” tin Samuel in adonbut’in ahi. Chuin Samuel in Jesse le achate akou khom’in kisuhthengna kin agong’in, chule pumgo thilto a jong ajao diuvin atem in ahi.

And he answeared, Yea: I am come to doe sacrifice vnto the Lord: sanctifie your selues, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Ishai and his sonnes, and called them to the sacrifice.

6 Chuin amaho chu ahunglhun phat’un, aman Eliab chu khatvei aven chule alungthim ah, “Pakaiyin alhendohpa hitei yinte!” tin agel’e

And when they were come, hee looked on Eliab, and saide, Surely the Lordes Anointed is before him.

7 Ahinlah Pakaiyin Samuel koma aseiyin, “Nangman atahsapoh ahiloule asandan chun vehih-in, ajeh chu keiman ama chu kadeilou ahi, ijeh inem itileh Pakaiyin mihem thilvet bang avet ahipoi, ajeh chu mihem’in apolam melput avet ahin, Pakaiyin vang alungsung avet ahi,” ati.

But the Lord said vnto Samuel, Looke not on his countenance, nor on the height of his stature, because I haue refused him: for God seeth not as man seeth: for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord beholdeth the heart.

8 Chuin Jesse in achapa Abinadab chu Samuel anaijep’a amasang’a ding din asollin ahilah Samuel in, “Ama jong hi Pakai lhendohsa chu ahipoi,” ati.

Then Ishai called Abinadab, and made him come before Samuel. And he saide, Neither hath the Lord chosen this.

9 Aban’in Jesse in Shimea ahin koudoh in, ahinlah Samuel in, “Ama jong hi Pakaiyin alhendoh chu ahipoi,” ati.

Then Ishai made Shammah come. And he said, Neither yet hath the Lord chosen him.

10 Chuti chun Jesse chate sagi jen chu Samuel angsung’ah ahinpuilut in, ahin Samuel in Jesse adongin, “Pakaiyin hiche hohi khatcha alhengpoi,” ati.

Againe Ishai made his seue sonnes to come before Samuel: and Samuel saide vnto Ishai, The Lord hath chosen none of these.

11 Chuin Samuel in Jesse jah’a, “Nachate hichang bou hi hitam?” tia adohle, aman jong, “Aneopen khat aum nalaiye, ahinlah amahi in’ah aumpoi, loujaova kelngoi le kelcha ho aching’e,” tin adonbut in ahile Samuel in, “Ama chu gakou sah’un, ama chu ahung lhun tokah’a, toujong i-tou loudiu chule anneh twidon jong ibol loudiu ahi,” ati.

Finally, Samuel said vnto Ishai, Are there no more children but these? And hee sayde, There remaineth yet a litle one behinde, that keepeth the sheepe. Then Samuel saide vnto Ishai, Sende and set him: for we will not sit downe, till he be come hither.

12 Hitichun Jesse in akou ding mi asollin ahi. Amachu mi tahsa phatah chule amit-ha hoitah ahi. Chuin Pakaiyin, “Thao nuding chu amahi ahi,” ati.

And he sent, and brought him in: and he was ruddie, and of a good countenance, and comely visage. And the Lord saide, Arise, and anoynt him: for this is he.

13 David asopiteho lah’a konin ahung dingdoh’in, hichun Samuel’in olive thao alan thao chu anu tai. Hiche nia kipan chun Pakai Lhagao chu thanei tah’in David chung’ah ahungchu tan ahi. Chuin Samuel Ramah ah akile tai.

Then Samuel tooke the horne of oyle, and anoynted him in the middes of his brethren. And the Spirit of the Lord came vpon Dauid, from that day forwarde: then Samuel rose vp, and went to Ramah.

14 Hitichun Pakai lhagaovin Saul adalhatan ahi, chule Pakaiyin ahinsol lhagao engse khat’in Saul chu lunggimna le tijatnan abolgim lheh jeng in ahi.

But the Spirite of the Lord departed from Saul, and an euill spirite sent of the Lord vexed him.

15 Saul asohte ho lah’a phabep khat in akomah, “Tua hi Pathen a kona lhagao gilou khat in nasuhgim ahi kaheuve,” atiuve.

And Sauls seruants said vnto him, Beholde nowe, the euill spirite of God vexeth thee.

16 “Hijeh chun, kapu, neisol’unlang semjang saithem khat gahol unge. Hitia lhagao engsen nahinphah phat phat le ama chun semjang saiyin tin, chuteng damdoh kitji tan nate,” atiuve.

Let our Lord therefore command thy seruants, that are before thee, to seeke a man that is a cunning plaier vpon the harpe: that when the euil spirit of God commeth vpon thee, hee may play with his hand, and thou maiest be eased.

17 Hichun Saul in, “Apha lheh jenge, cheuvinlang semjang saithem tah mikhat gahol unlang, chule ama chu kahenga hin puijun,” ati.

Saul then saide vnto his seruantes, Prouide me a man, I pray you, that can play well, and bring him to me.

18 Chuin asohte ho lah’a mi khat in Saul jah’ah, “Jesse chapateho lah’a khat, Bethlehem mi, semjang saithem tah, hiche goh chu hilouva mihangsan, gal-hat, galbolmi, ijakai hekhen themtah, chule melhoitah, chujongle Pakaiyin aumpi mi ahi,” ati.

Then answered one of his seruauntes, and sayde, Beholde, I haue seene a sonne of Ishai, a Bethlehemite, that can plaie, and is strong, valiant and a man of warre and wise in matters, and a comely person, and the Lord is with him.

19 Chuin Saul in thupolea mikhat Jesse henga thulhut ding’in asollin, “Nachapa David kelngoiching chu neihinsol peh in,” ati.

Wherefore Saul sent messengers vnto Ishai, and said, Send me Dauid thy sonne which is with the sheepe.

20 Saul in David athum chu Jesse in anop peh’in, changlhah toh, lengpi twi haikhat, chule kelnou khat, sangan khat apohsah in ahi.

And Ishai tooke an asse laden with breade and a flagon of wine and a kidde, and sent them by the hand of Dauid his sonne vnto Saul.

21 Chuin David Saul kom’ah achen, Saul chu ajen pan tan ahi, Saul in David angailu lheh jeng in chule David chu Saul galvonpon apang tai.

And Dauid came to Saul, and stoode before him: and he loued him verie well, and he was his armour bearer.

22 Chuin Saul in Jesse koma thu athot in, “Lungset tah in David hi kakomah kakin bol in pang jeng ta hen, ajeh chu achung’a kalung alhailheh jengin ahi,” ati.

And Saul sent to Ishai, saying, Let Dauid nowe remaine with me: for he hath found fauour in my sight.

23 Chule Pathen in ahinsol lhagao engse chun Saul ahinphah tengle, David in semjang chu asaipeh ji teng, Saul chu ahung limdohjin chule lhagao engse chun adalhaji in ahi.

And so when the euil spirite of God came vpon Saul, Dauid tooke an harpe and plaied with his hande, and Saul was refreshed, and was eased: for the euill spirit departed from him.
