1 Samuel 13
1 When he began to reign, Saul was the son of one year, and he reigned over Israel for two years.
Sawl ni kum touh a uk teh Isarelnaw apâhni kum a uknae kum dawk,
2 And Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel. And two thousand were with Saul at Michmash and at mount Bethel. Then one thousand were with Jonathan at Gibeah of Benjamin. But the remainder of the people, he sent back, each one to his own tent.
Sawl ni Isarelnaw tami 3,000 touh a rawi. Tami 2000 touh teh Mikmash hoi Bethel mon dawk Sawl koe ao awh teh, 1,000 touh teh Benjamin ram Gilead vah Jonathan koe ao awh. Alouknaw pueng teh amamouh onae koe rim dawk lengkaleng a ban sak.
3 And Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines, which was in Gibeah. And when the Philistines had heard about it, Saul sounded the trumpet over all the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews listen.”
Jonathan ni Geba vah Filistin kho ramveng a thei e hah Filistinnaw ni a thai awh. Sawl ni Hebrunaw ni hai thai naseh a titeh, ram pueng dawk mongka a ueng sak.
4 And all of Israel heard this report, that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines. And Israel raised himself up against the Philistines. Then the people cried out to Saul at Gilgal.
Isarel miphunnaw ni Filistin kho ramveng Sawl ni a thei e hah, Filistinnaw han Isarelnaw teh panuetthopounge lah ao e a thai awh navah, Gilgal kho kaawm e Sawl koe cei hanelah tamimaya teh a kaw awh.
5 And the Philistines gathered to do battle against Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and the remainder of the common people, who were very many, like the sand that is on the shore of the sea. And ascending, they encamped at Michmash, toward the east of Bethaven.
Filistinnaw teh Isarelnaw tuk hanelah, a kamkhueng awh. Rangleng 30,000, marangransanaw 6,000 hoi tuipui rai e sadi patetlah kapap e ransanaw ao awh teh Bethaven kho Kanîtholae Mikmash kho dawk a roe awh.
6 And when the men of Israel had seen themselves to be in a narrowed position, they hid themselves in caves, and in out of the way places, and in rocks, and in hollows, and in pits (for the people were distressed).
Isarelnaw ni takikatho poung e thung ka o tie a panue awh navah, atangawn talung kâko, buruk thung, atangawn talungnaw e rahak vah, tumdum e thung, talai kâko dawk a kâhro awh.
7 Then some of the Hebrews crossed over the Jordan, into the land of Gad and Gilead. And while Saul was still at Gilgal, the entire people who followed him were terrified.
Hebru miphunnaw tangawn Jordan tui namran Gad hoi Gilead ram dawk a kâran awh. Sawl teh Gilgal vah ao. Tamihu ni taki pâyaw laihoi a hnuk a kâbang awh.
8 But he waited for seven days, in accord with what was agreed with Samuel. But Samuel did not arrive at Gilgal, for the people were scattering away from him.
Samuel ni hnin a khoe e patetlah hnin 7 touh a ring. Hatei Samuel teh Gilgal vah tho hoeh, a hnukkâbang e naw ni ahni teh a kâran takhai awh.
9 Therefore, Saul said, “Bring me the holocaust and the peace offerings.” And he offered the holocaust.
Sawl ni hmaisawi thuengnae hoi roum thuengnae kai koe thokhai awh atipouh. Hottelah hmaisawi thuengnae a sak.
10 And when he had completed the offering of the holocaust, behold, Samuel arrived. And Saul went out to meet him, so that he might greet him.
Hmaisawi thuengnae a sak hnukkhu, Samuel a tho teh Sawl ni ahni kâhmo hanelah a dawn.
11 And Samuel said to him, “What have you done?” Saul responded: “Since I saw that the people were scattering away from me, and you had not arrived after the agreed upon days, and yet the Philistines had gathered together at Michmash,
Samuel ni bangmaw na sak atipouh. Sawl ni taminaw ni be na kâran takhai teh, atueng khoe e hnin dawk na tho hoeh. Filistinnaw Mikmash vah be a kamkhueng awh toe tie ka thai.
12 I said: ‘Now the Philistines will descend to me at Gilgal. And I have not appeased the face of the Lord.’ Compelled by necessity, I offered the holocaust.
Hatdawkvah, Filistinnaw ni Gilgal vah na la tuk awh toe. BAWIPA koe pahrennae hei hane hai ka sak hoeh rah. Hatdawkvah, hmaisawi thuengnae teh sak hoeh laipalah coung hoeh toe telah ati.
13 And Samuel said to Saul: “You have acted foolishly. You have not kept the commandments of the Lord your God, which he instructed to you. And if you had not acted in this way, the Lord would, here and now, have prepared your kingdom over Israel forever.
Samuel ni Sawl koe pathu poung lahoi na sak toe. BAWIPA Cathut e kâpoelawk na tarawi hoeh toe. Na tarawi pawiteh BAWIPA ni Isarelnaw lathueng uknaeram kâ pou a caksak han.
14 But by no means shall your kingdom rise up any more. The Lord has sought for himself a man according to his own heart. And him the Lord has instructed to be the leader over his people, because you have not kept what the Lord has instructed.”
Atuteh nange uknaeram cak mahoeh toe. BAWIPA ni ama lungkayouk e a tawng teh, a tami lathueng vah kahrawikung lah o hane BAWIPA ni kâ a poe toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e kâpoelawk na tarawi hoeh toe.
15 Then Samuel rose up and ascended from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And the remainder of the people ascended after Saul, to meet the people who were fighting against them, going from Gilgal into Gibeah, to the hill of Benjamin. And Saul took a census of the people, who had been found to be with him, about six hundred men.
Samuel a thaw teh Gilgal kho hoi Benjamin ram Gibeah vah a takhang. Sawl ni ama koe kaawm e a touk teh 600 tabang a pha.
16 And Saul, and his son Jonathan, and the people who had been found to be with them, were at Gibeah of Benjamin. But the Philistines had settled in at Michmash.
Sawl hoi a capa Jonathan hoi ahnimouh koe rei kaawm e Benjamin ram Geba vah ao awh rah. Hatei, Filistinnaw teh Mikmash vah a tungpup awh.
17 And three companies went out from the camp of the Philistines, in order to plunder. One company was traveling toward the way of Ophrah, to the land of Shual.
Filistinnaw e roenae hmuen koehoi taran ahu kathum touh ni a cei awh teh, Shual ram, Ophrah lah a cei awh.
18 Then another entered along the way of Beth-horon. But the third turned itself to the way of the border, overhanging the valley of Zeboim, opposite the desert.
Ahu buet touh ni, Bethhoron koelae lam, ahu buet touh ni Zeboiim yon kahrawngum khori koelae lam a dawn awh.
19 Now there was no worker of iron to be found in all the land of Israel. For the Philistines had been cautious, lest perhaps the Hebrews might make swords or spears.
Isarel abuemlah dawk sumkadêinaw buet touh boehai hmu hane awm hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Filistinnaw ni Hebrunaw teh tahroe hoi tahloi sakpayon vaih telah ati awh dawk doeh.
20 Therefore, all of Israel descended to the Philistines, so that each man could sharpen his plowshare, or pick axe, or hatchet, or hoe.
Hottelah, Isarel taminaw teh tawkso thoseh, thunha thoseh, cakâ, tangkounnaw kata hanelah Filistinnaw koe ouk a ceikhai awh.
21 For their plow blades, and pick axes, and pitch forks, and axes had become blunt, and even the handles needed to be repaired.
Tawkso, thunha, a hâ kathum touh samphei e tawkso, cakâ hoi sâw aphu teh Shekel phek touh doeh.
22 And when the day of battle had arrived, there was found neither sword nor spear in the hand of the entire people who were with Saul and Jonathan, except for Saul and his son Jonathan.
Hatdawkvah, taran tuknae hnin dawk Sawl hoi Jonathan tinaw hoi rei kaawm e ransanaw e kut dawk, tahloi tahroe awm hoeh. Sawl hoi Jonathan koe dueng doeh ao.
23 Then the army of the Philistines went out in order to go across Michmash.
Hat hoi Filistin ramvengnaw teh Mikmash rakan hanelah hoi a cei awh.
