1And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered together their armies to be prepared for war against Israel: and Achis said to David: Know thou now assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to the war, thou, and thy men.
1A tue a pha vaengah Philisti caem loh Israel te vathoh thil ham caempuei la coi uh thae. Te dongah Akhish loh David taengah, “Na caem neh na hlang rhoek neh kai nan puei ham na ming rhoe na ming ham om,” a ti nah.
2And David said to Achis: Now thou shalt know what thy servant will do. And Achis said to David: And I will appoint thee to guard my life for ever.
2Te dongah David loh Akhish te, “Na sal kah a saii te namah loh rhep na ming bitni,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Akhish loh David te, “Hnin takuem kai lu aka ngaithuen rhep ham tah namah ni kang khueh eh?,” a ti nah.
3Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel mourned for him, and buried him in Ramatha his city. And Saul had put away all the magicians and soothsayers out of the land.
3Tahae ah Samuel duek tih anih ham te Israel pum loh a rhaengsae uh. Te phoeiah anih te amah kho Ramah ah a up uh. Te vaengah khohmuen lamkah rhaitonghma neh hnam te Saul loh a khoe.
4And the Philistines were gathered together, and came and camped in Sunam: and Saul also gathered together all Israel, and came to Gelboe.
4Philisti rhoek te coi uh thae tih aka cet uh te Shunem ah rhaeh uh. Te vaengah Saul loh Israel pum te a coi tih Gilboa ah rhaeh uh.
5And Saul saw the army of the Plilistines, and was afraid, and his heart was very much dismayed.
5Saul loh Philisti caem a hmuh vaengah a rhih tih a lungbuei mat lakueng.
6And he consulted the Lord, and he answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by priests, nor by prophets.
6Te vaengah BOEIPA te Saul loh a dawt dae BOEIPA loh anih te mang nen khaw, Urim nen khaw, tonghma nen khaw doo voel pawh.
7And Saul said to his servants: Seek me a woman that hath a divining spirit, and I will go to her, and inquire by her. And his servants said to him: There is a woman that hath a divining spirit at Endor.
7Te vaengah Saul loh a sal rhoek te, “Hnam nu rhaitonghma te kai ham tlap uh lah, anih taengla ka cet vetih amah te ka cae lah eh,” a ti nah. Te dongah a sal rhoek loh, “Endor ah hnam nu rhaitonghma om ta ke,” a ti na uh.
8Then he disguised himself: and put on other clothes, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night, and he said to her: Divine to me by thy divining spirit, and bring me up him whom I shall tell thee.
8Te dongah Saul te sa uh tih himbai a tloe a bai. Te phoeiah amah taengkah hlang rhoi te a caeh puei tih khoyin ah huta taengla pawk. Te vaengah, “Rhaitonghma neh kai hamla ham bi ham bi lamtah nang taengah ka thui te kai taengla hang khuen lah,” a ti nah.
9And the woman said to him: Behold thou knowest all that Saul hath done, and how he hath rooted out the magicians and soothsayers from the land: why then dost thou lay a snare for my life, to cause me to be put to death?
9Tedae amah te huta loh, “Saul loh a saii te na ming coeng, rhaitonghma neh hnam te khohmuen lamloh a saii. Balae tih kai duek sak ham ka hinglu he na hlaeh?” a ti nah.
10And Saul swore unto her by the Lord, saying: As the Lord liveth there shall no evil happen to thee for this thing.
10Tedae anih te Saul loh BOEIPA ming neh a toemngam tih, “BOEIPA kah hingnah dongah tahae kah olka lamkah thaesainah he nang taengah thoeng boel saeh,” a ti nah.
11And the woman said to him: Whom shall I bring up to thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
11Huta loh, “Nang taengla ulae kang khueneh?” a ti nah hatah, “Kai hamla Samuel te hang khuen,” a ti nah.
12And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice, and said to Saul: Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.
12Huta loh Samuel te a hmuh hatah a ol a len la pang. Te phoeiah huta loh Saul te a voek tih, “Balae tih kai nan phok? Nang he Saul ni,” a ti nah.
13And the king said to her: Fear not: what hast thou seen? And the woman said to Saul: I saw gods ascending out of the earth.
13Te vaengah anih te manghai loh, “Na hmuh te rhih boeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Huta loh Saul te, “Diklai lamkah rhai ha yoeng te ka hmuh,” a ti nah.
14And he said to her: What form is he of? And she said: An old man cometh up, and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul understood that it was Samuel, and he bowed himself with his face to the ground, and adored.
14Te phoeiah, “A suisak ta?” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Hlang pakhat patong halo tih hnikul neh thing uh,” a ti nah. Anih te Samuel tila Saul loh a ming dongah a thintoek neh diklai la buluk tih a bawk.
15And Samuel said to Saul: Why hast thou disturbed my rest, that I should be brought up? And Saul said, I am in great distress: for the Philistines fight against me, and God is departed from me, and would not hear me, neither by the hand of prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest shew me what I shall do.
15Samuel loh Saul te, “Balae tih kai doek hamla kai nan tlai thil?” a ti nah. Saul loh, “Kai he mat n'daengdaeh tih Philisti loh kai m'vathoh thil. Pathen he kai taeng lamloh nong coeng. Tonghma kut nen khaw, mueimang ah khaw kai he n'doo moenih. Te dongah ka saii koi te ming hamla nang kang khue,” a ti nah.
16And Samuel said: Why askest thou me, seeing the Lord has departed from thee, and is gone over to thy rival:
16Samuel loh, “Balae tih kai nan dawt? Tedae BOEIPA te nang taeng lamloh nong tih na rhal la om coeng.
17For the Lord will do to thee as he spoke by me, and he will rend thy kingdom out of thy hand, and will give it to thy neighbour David:
17Ka kut dongkah a thui bangla BOEIPA loh amah ham a saii coeng. Te dongah BOEIPA loh na kut dongkah ram te a phen tih na hui David taengah a paek coeng.
18Because thou didst not obey the voice of the Lord, neither didst thou execute the wrath of his indignation upon Amalec. Therefore hath the Lord done to thee what thou sufferest this day.
18BOEIPA ol te na ngai pawt tih a thintoek thinsa bangla Amalek te na saii pawh. Te dongah hekah hno he BOEIPA loh tihnin ah nang taengah a saii.
19And the Lord also will deliver Israel with thee into the hands of the Philistines: and tomorrow thou and thy sons shall be with me: and the Lord will also deliver the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.
19Israel khaw namah neh BOEIPA loh Philisti kut ah n'tloeng ni. Thangvuen ah namah neh kai taengkah na ca rhoek khaw, Israel caem khaw BOEIPA loh Philisti kut ah a paek ni,” a ti nah.
20And forthwith Saul fell all along on the ground, for he was frightened with the words of Samuel, and there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all that day.
20Te dongah Saul te a yungkhawt la diklai dongah kung pahoi yalh. Samuel ol te bahoeng a rhih tih khoyin khothaih caak a caak pawt dongah a thadueng khaw om pawh.
21And the woman came to Saul (for he was very much troubled) and said to him: Behold thy handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand: and I hearkened unto the words which thou spokest to me.
21Te vaengah Saul taengla huta loh a paan hatah mat a let te a hmuh tih, “Na salnu long he nang ol te ni a ngai ne. Te dongah ka kut dongkah ka hinglu ka pom tih kai taengah na thui te na ol bangla ka saii.
22Now therefore hear thou also the voice of thy handmaid, and let me set before thee a morsel of bread, that thou mayest eat and recover strength, and be able to go on thy journey.
22Na salnu kah ol te namah long khaw hnatun mai laeh. Na hmai ah buh kamat khaw kan tawn saeh lamtah ca mai dae. Te daengah ni na thadueng om vetih longpuei ah na caeh thai eh,” a ti nah.
23But he refused, and said: I will not eat. But his servants and the woman forced him, and at length hearkening to their voice, he arose from the ground and sat upon the bed.
23Tedae a aal tih, “Ka ca mahpawh,” a ti nah. A taengkah a sal rhoek neh huta long khaw a na uh dongah amih ol te a hnatun. Te daengah diklai lamkah thoo tih baiphaih dongla ngol.
24Now the woman had a fatted calf in the house, and she made haste and killed it: and taking meal kneaded it, and baked some unleavened bread,
24Te phoeiah huta loh im kah vaitoca a toitup te koe a ngawn, vaidam te khaw a loh tih a nook phoeiah vaidamding la a kaeng.
25And set it before Saul, and before his servants. And when they had eaten they rose up, and walked all that night.
25Te phoeiah Saul hmai neh a sal rhoek hmai ah a tawn pah tih a caak uh. Te phoeiah thoo tih amah tekah khoyin ah pahoi cet uh.
