Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Samuel mah Saul khaeah, Angmah ih kami hoi Israel kaminawk nuiah siangpahrang ah oh moe, nang to situi bawh hanah Angraeng mah patoeh ih kami loe kai ni; to pongah vaihi Angraeng khae ih lok to tahngai ah.
1And Samuel said to Saul: The Lord sent me to anoint thee king over his People Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the Lord:
2Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, Izip prae hoi angzo Israel kaminawk to Amalek kaminawk mah pakaa o pongah, nihcae to ka pahnet mak ai.
2Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I have reckoned up all that Amalec hath done to Israel: I how he opposed them in the way when they came up out of Egypt.
3Vaihi caeh loe, Amalek kaminawk to tuh ah; nihcae ih hmuennawk to paro pae boih ah, pathlung roe pathlung hmah; nongpa, nongpata, nawktanawk hoi tahnu nae li nawktanawk, maitawnawk hoi tuunawk, tahnongsawk hrang hoi laa hrangnawk to paro pae boih ah, tiah a naa.
3Now therefore go, and smite Amalec, and utterly destroy all that he hath: spare him not, nor covet any thing that is his: but slay both man and woman, child and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
4To pongah Saul mah kaminawk to kok moe, Talaim vangpui ah kroek naah, khok hoi misatuh kami loe sang cumvai hnetto oh, Judah prae hoi angzo misatuh kaminawk loe sang hnetto oh o.
4So Saul commanded the people, and numbered them as lambs: two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand of the men of Juda.
5Saul loe Amalek kaminawk ih vangpui ah caeh moe, azawn ah kaminawk to angang.
5And when Saul was come to the city of Amalec, he laid ambushes in the torrent.
6To naah Ken kaminawk khaeah, Amalek kaminawk hoi nawnto kang paro o moeng han ai ah, nihcae thung hoi angpuen hanah tacawt o lai ah; Israel kaminawk Izip prae thung hoi angzoh o naah, nangcae loe nihcae nuiah tahmenhaih na tawnh o, tiah a naa. To pongah Ken kaminawk loe, Amalek kaminawk khae hoiah tacawt o moe, kalah bangah a caeh o.
6And Saul said to the Cinite: Go, depart and get ye down from Amalec: lest I destroy thee with him. For thou hast shewn kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. And the Cinite departed from the midst of Amalec.
7Saul mah Amalek kaminawk to Havilah hoi Izip prae taengah kaom, Shur vangpui karoek to tuk.
7And Saul smote Amalec from Hevila, until thou comest to Sur, which is over against Egypt.
8Amalek siangpahrang Agag to kahing ah naeh moe, anih ih kaminawk to sumsen hoiah hum boih.
8And he took Agag the king of Amalec alive: but all the common people he slew with the edge of the sword.
9Toe Saul hoi angmah ih kaminawk mah, Agag to pathlung o; kahoih koek tuunawk, maitaw taenawk, kathawk maitawnawk hoi kahoih koek hmuennawk boih doeh pakuem o, paro boih han koeh o ai; toe kasae hoi kahoih ai hmuennawk to loe paro pae o boih.
9And Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the flocks of sheep and of the herds, and the garments and the rams, and all that was beautiful, and would not destroy them: but every thing that was vile and good for nothing, that they destroyed.
10To naah Angraeng ih lok Samuel khaeah phak,
10And the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying:
11Saul to siangpahrang ah ka suek pongah ka dawnpakhuem; anih loe ka hnukah bang ai, kai angcaeh taak ving khue ai ah, ka paek ih loknawk doeh pazui ai, tiah a naa. Samuel loe palungset moe, aqum puek Angraeng khaeah qah.
11It repenteth me that I have made Saul king: for he hath forsaken me, and hath not executed my commandments. And Samuel was grieved, and he cried unto the Lord all night.
12Samuel loe khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk moe, Saul tongh hanah caeh; toe Saul loe Samuel khaeah Karmel mae ah caeh moe, to ahmuen ah angmah hanah panoek poehaih thlung maeto a tling pacoengah, Gilgal vangpui ah caeh tathuk boeh, tiah thuih pae o.
12And when Samuel rose early, to go to Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, that Saul was come to Carmel, and had erected for himself a triumphant arch, and returning had passed on, and gone down to Galgal. And Samuel came to Saul, and Saul was offering a holocaust to the Lord out of the choicest of the spoils which he had brought from Amalec.
13Anih khaeah Samuel phak naah, Saul mah, Angraeng mah tahamhoihaih paek nasoe; Angraeng mah paek ih loknawk to ka sak boeh, tiah a naa.
13And when Samuel was come to Saul, Saul said to him: Blessed be thou of the Lord, I have fulfilled the word of the Lord.
14Toe Samuel mah, Tuu hanghaih lok to ka thaih, maitaw hanghaih lok doeh ka thaih bae, tih maw vai? tiah a naa.
14And Samuel said: What meaneth then this bleating of the flocks, which soundeth in my ears, and the lowing of the herds, which I hear?
15Saul mah, Na Angraeng Sithaw khaeah angbawnhaih sak hanah, Amalek kaminawk khae hoi pathlung o ih kahoih koek tuunawk hoi maitawnawk to kaminawk mah sin o; toe kalah hmuennawk loe ka paro o boih, tiah a naa.
15And Saul said: They have brought them from Amalec: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the herds that they might be sacrificed to the Lord thy God, but the rest we have slain.
16Samuel mah Saul khaeah, Om raeh! Cangduem ah Angraeng mah thuih ih lok to kang thuih han, tiah a naa. Saul mah, Na thui khae, tiah a naa.
16And Samuel said to Saul: Suffer me, and I will tell thee what the Lord hath said to me this night. And he said to him: Speak.
17Samuel mah, Nang loe nangmah hoi nangmah to hmuen tetta ah na hnuk; toe vaihi loe Israel acaengnawk zaehoikung ah na suem ai maw? Angraeng mah Israel kaminawk ukkung siangpahrang ah ang suek na ai maw?
17And Samuel said: When thou wast a little one in thy own eyes, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel? And the Lord anointed thee to be king over Israel.
18Angraeng mah, Caeh loe, kazae Amalek kaminawk to hum bit ah; nihcae na hum boih ai karoek to tuk hanih ni, ahmuen kangthla ah ang patoeh.
18And the Lord sent thee on the way, and said: Go, and kill the sinners of Amalec, and thou shalt fight against them until thou hast utterly destroyed them.
19Toe Angraeng ih lok to na tahngai ai; tipongah misanawk ih hmuen to na lomh moe, Sithaw mikhnukah kahoih ai hmuen to na sak loe? tiah a naa.
19Why then didst thou not hearken to the voice of the Lord: but hast turned to the prey, and hast done evil in the eyes of the Lord.
20Saul mah, Angraeng ih lok to ka tahngaih; Angraeng mah patoeh ih baktih toengah, kangthla parai ahmuen ah ka caeh moe, Amalek kaminawk to ka hum boih, siangpahrang Agag loe kahing ah ka hoih, tiah a naa.
20And Saul said to Samuel: Yea I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord, and have walked in the way by which the Lord sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalec, and Amalec I have slain.
21Toe kaminawk mah Gilgal vangpui ah, na Angraeng Sithaw khaeah angbawnhaih sak hanah, paro boih han kaom tuu, maitaw hoi kahoih koek hmuennawk to a lak o, tiah a naa.
21But the people took of the spoils sheep and oxen, as the firstfruits of those things that were slain, to offer sacrifice to the Lord their God in Galgal.
22Toe Samuel mah, Angraeng ih lok tahngai pongah, hmai angbawnhaih hoi hmuen paekhaih to Angraeng mah koeh kue maw? Khenah, hmuenpaekhaih pongah a koehhaih pazui to hoih kue, lok tahngaihaih loe kathawk hruk tuunawk pongah hoih kue.
22And Samuel said: Doth the Lord desire holocausts and victims, and not rather that the voice of the Lord should be obeyed? For obedience is better than sacrifices: and to hearken rather than to offer the fat of rams.
23Lok aekhaih loe taqawk khaeah lokduenghaih baktiah oh moe, palungthahhaih loe krangbokhaih hoi zaehaih ah oh. Angraeng ih loknawk to na pahnawt ving boeh pongah, anih mah doeh siangpahrang ah na ohhaih ahmuen hoiah ang pahnawt boeh, tiah a naa.
23Because it is like the sin of witchcraft, to rebel: and like the crime of idolatry, to refuse to obey. Forasmuch therefore as thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, the Lord hath also rejected thee from being king.
24To naah Saul mah Samuel khaeah, Ka zae boeh; kaminawk to ka zit moe, nihcae mah thuih o ih lok to ka tahngaih pongah, Angraeng mah paek ih lok hoi na thuih ih lok nuiah, ka zae moeng boeh.
24And Saul said to Samuel: I have sinned because I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and thy words, fearing the people, and obeying their voice.
25To pongah vaihi, Ka zaehaih tahmen ah loe, Angraeng to ka bok thai hanah, kai hoi nawnto amlaem ah, tiah a hnik.
25But now bear, I beseech thee, my sin, and return with me, that I may adore the Lord.
26Samuel mah Saul khaeah, Nang hoi nawnto kam laem mak ai; Angraeng ih lok to na pahnawt ving boeh pongah, Angraeng mah Israel ukkung siangpahrang ah ohhaih ahmuen hoiah ang pahnawt boeh, tiah a naa.
26And Samuel said to Saul: I will not return with thee, because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.
27Samuel mah caehtaak han angqoi naah, Saul mah anih ih kahni to patawnh pae caeng pongah, kahni to angsih vak.
27And Samuel turned about to go away: but he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
28Samuel mah anih khaeah, Vaihniah Angraeng mah Israel prae to na ban thung hoiah khringh boeh moe, nang pongah kahoih kue, na taeng ih kami khaeah paek boeh.
28And Samuel said to him: The Lord hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to thy neighbour who is better than thee.
29Israel thacakhaih Angraeng loe amsawnlok thui ai, poek doeh amkhraih mak ai; anih loe kami rumram ah om ai pongah, a poekhaih amkhrai mak ai.
29But the triumpher in Israel will riot spare, and will not be moved to repentance: for he is not a mail that he should repent.
30Saul mah, Ka zae moeng boeh; toe kaimah ih kami kacoehtanawk hoi Israel kaminawk hmaa ah, mikhmai na saesak hmah; na Angraeng Sithaw ka bok thai hanah, kai hoi nawnto amlaem let rae ah, tiah tahmenhaih a hnik.
30Then he said: I have sinned: yet honour me now before the ancients of my people, and before Israel, and return with me, that I may adore the Lord thy God.
31To pongah Samuel loe Saul hoi nawnto caeh let, to naah Saul mah Angraeng to bok.
31So Samuel turned again after Saul: and Saul adored the Lord.
32Samuel mah, Amalek siangpahrang Agag to hae ah na hoi oh, tiah a naa. To naah Agag mah zit kathok duekhaih to ka loih boeh, tiah a poek pongah, anih loe lunghoihta hoiah angzoh.
32And Samuel said: Bring hitherto me Agag the king of Amalec. And Agag was presented to him very fat, and trembling. And Agag said: Doth bitter death separate in this manner?
33Toe Samuel mah, Na sumsen mah nongpatanawk caa sah ai ah suek baktih toengah, nam no doeh nongpatanawk salakah caa sah ai ah om tih, tiah a naa. Samuel mah Gilgal vangpui ah Angraeng hmaa ah Agag to aboengh aboengh ah takroek.
33And Samuel said: As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed him in pieces before the Lord in Galgal.
34To pacoengah Samuel loe Ramah ah caeh, toe Saul loe siangpahrang im ohhaih Gibeah vangpui ah caeh.
34And Samuel departed to Ramatha: but Saul went up to his house in Gabaa.
35Samuel loe duekhaih ni pha ai karoek to, Saul khaeah caeh ai boeh; toe Samuel mah Saul to palungset haih. Saul to Israel kaminawk ukkung siangpahrang ah a suek pongah, Angraeng loe paroeai dawnpakhuem.
35And Samuel saw Saul no more till the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul, because the Lord repented that he had made him king over Israel.
