1Then Samuel took the vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said: 'Is it not that the LORD hath anointed thee to be prince over His inheritance?
2Tihnin ah kai taeng lamloh na cet vetih Zelzah kah Benjamin khorhi Rakhel phuel ah hlang panit na hmuh ni. Te vaengah tlap hamla na caeh thil laak rhoek a hmuh te nang taengah a thui bitni. Laak kawng te na pa loh a toeng tih nangmih rhoi ham a mawn dongah, “Ka capa ham balae ka saii eh?,’ a ti coeng ke.
2When thou art departed from me to-day, then thou shalt find two men by the tomb of Rachel, in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say unto thee: The asses which thou wentest to seek are found; and, lo, thy father hath left off caring for the asses, and is anxious concerning you, saying: What shall I do for my son?
3Te lamloh voelh na poeng vaengah Tabor thingnu la na pawk vetih Bethel Pathen taengla aka cet hlang pathum te na hum uh ni. Pakhat loh maae ca pumthum a phueih ni, pakhat loh buh hluem pathum a phueih ni, pakhat loh misurtui tuitang pakhat a phueih ni.
3Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the terebinth of Tabor, and there shall meet thee there three men going up to God to Beth-el, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine.
4Te vaengah nang te sading la n'dawt vetih vaidam hluem nit m'paek uh tekhaw amih kut lamloh doe pah.
4And they will salute thee, and give thee two cakes of bread; which thou shalt receive of their hand.
5Te phoeiah Philisti khohung rhoek om nah Pathen som na pha ni. Khopuei te na paan vaengah hmuensang lamkah aka suntla tonghma hlop at te na hum uh ni. Amih hmai ah thangpa, kamrhing, phitphoet, rhotoeng neh aka tonghma rhoek te om ni.
5After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines; and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a timbrel, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they will be prophesying.
6Te vaengah BOEIPA Mueihla tah nang soah thaihtak bitni. Amih taengah na tonghma pah vetih hlang te a tloe la na maelh ni.
6And the spirit of the LORD will come mightily upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
7Te vaengah miknoek he nang taengah thoeng rhoe thoeng ni. Pathen te nang taengah a om coeng dongah na kut a hmuh te nang ham saii la om ni.
7And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as thy hand shall find; for God is with thee.
8Kai hmai ah Gilgal la ana suntla laeh. Kai khaw a hnin rhih dongah rhoepnah hmueih ngawn ham neh hmueihhlutnah tloeng ham nang taengla ka suntla van ni. Nang taengla ka pawk duela n'rhing lamtah na saii koi te namah taengah kan tueng bitni,” a ti nah.
8And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down unto thee, to offer burnt-offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings; seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come unto thee, and tell thee what thou shalt do.'
9Te dongah Samuel taeng lamloh nong ham a nam a hooi vaengah anih ham te Pathen loh lungbuei a tloe la vik a maelh dongah amah khohnin dongah miknoek khaw boeih thoeng.
9And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day.
10Som ah tah anih aka doe ham tonghma rhui at te tarha ha pawk uh. Pathen Mueihla loh anih te a thaihtak sak dongah amih lakli ah a tonghma pah.
10And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a band of prophets met him; and the spirit of God came mightily upon him, and he prophesied among them.
11Tonghma rhoek taengah a tonghma van te hlaemvai lamkah anih aka ming boeih loh a hmuh uh. Pilnam khuiah khaw hlang loh a hui taengah, “Kish capa te metlam a om te, tonghma rhoek taengah Saul om noek van a?,” a ti uh.
11And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another: 'What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?'
12Tedae te lamkah hlang loh a doo tih, “bangla a thoeng coeng atah ulae a napa?, Saul khaw tonghma rhoek khuikah a?” a ti nah.
12And one of the same place answered and said: 'And who is their father?' Therefore it became a proverb: 'Is Saul also among the prophets?'
13A tonghma te a toeng phoeiah hmuensang a paan.
13And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
14Te vaengah Saul kah a napanoe loh Saul neh a taengca te, “Melam na caeh rhoi,” a ti nah hatah, “Laak nucaphung te ka tlap dae ka hmuh pawt dongah Samuel taengla ka pawk rhoi,” a ti nah.
14And Saul's uncle said unto him and to his servant: 'Whither went ye?' And he said: 'To seek the asses; and when we saw that they were not found, we came to Samuel.'
15Te dongah Saul kah napanoe loh, “Samuel loh nangmih rhoi taengah a thui te kai taengah thui lah,” a ti nah.
15And Saul's uncle said: 'Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you.'
16Te dongah a napanoe te Saul loh, “Laak nucaphung te a hmuh uh tila kaimih rhoi taengah a thui rhoela a thui coeng,” a ti nah. Tedae Samuel loh Saul taengah a thui mangpa olka te tah thui pah pawh.
16And Saul said unto his uncle: 'He told us plainly that the asses were found.' But concerning the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spoke, he told him not.
17Te phoeiah pilnam te Samuel loh Mizpah kah BOEIPA taengla a khue.
17And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to Mizpah.
18Te phoeiah Israel ca rhoek te, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh, 'Egypt lamkah Israel aka caeh puei tih nangmih aka nen Egypt kut neh ram tom kut lamkah nangmih aka huul khaw kai ni.
18And he said unto the children of Israel: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you.
19Tedae nangmih kah yoethae cungkuem neh citcai lamloh nangmih aka khang na Pathen te tihnin ah nangmih loh na hnawt uh tih, “Kaimih soah manghai pakhat tah na khueh mako,” na ti uh. Te dongah namamih koca rhoek loh a thawng thawng la BOEIPA mikhmuh ah pai uh laeh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
19But ye have this day rejected your God, who Himself saveth you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and ye have said unto Him: Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.'
20Israel koca rhoek boeih te Samuel loh a paan tih Benjamin koca te a tuuk.
20So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
21Te phoeiah Benjamin koca te a cako, a cako la, a nawn tih Matri cako te a tuuk. Te vaengah a tuuk tangtae Kish capa Saul te a toem uh dae hmu pawh.
21And he brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families, and the family of the Matrites was taken; and Saul the son of Kish was taken; but when they sought him, he could not be found.
22Te dongah BOEIPA taengah, “Tekah hlang te hela ha pawk hlan a?” tila koep a dawt uh. Tedae BOEIPA loh, “Hnopai khuiah amah thuh uh lahko te,” a ti nah.
22Therefore they asked of the LORD further: 'Is there yet a man come hither?' And the LORD answered: 'Behold, he hath hid himself among the baggage.'
23Te dongah yong uh tih Saul te a loh uh. Te vaengah pilnam lakli ah pai hang dae a laengpang lamloh a so hang mah pilnam boeih lakah sang.
23And they ran and fetched him thence; and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
24Te phoeiah Pilnam pum te Samuel loh, “BOEIPA loh anih a coelh he na hmuh uh maco? Pilnam boeih khuiah anih bang a om moenih,” a ti nah. Te vaengah pilnam te boeih yuhui uh tih, “Manghai tah hing pai saeh,” a ti uh.
24And Samuel said to all the people: 'See ye him whom the LORD hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people?' And all the people shouted, and said: 'Long live the king.'
25Te phoeiah mangpa kah laitloeknah te Samuel loh pilnam ham a thui pah. Cabu dongah khaw a daek tih BOEIPA hmai ah a tloeng. Te daengah pilnam pum te Samuel loh a im la boeih a tueih.
25Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
26Saul khaw Gibeah kah amah im la a caeh hatah Pathen loh a lungbuei a bi pah tangtae tatthai hlang te tah anih taengla cet uh.
26And Saul also went to his house to Gibeah; and there went with him the men of valour, whose hearts God had touched.
27Tedae aka muen ca rhoek long tah, “Metlamlae mamih n'khang thai eh?” a ti uh. Anih te a hnaep uh tih anih te khosaa khaw thak uh pawt dae olmueh la a om tak.
27But certain base fellows said: 'How shall this man save us?' And they despised him, and brought him no present. But he was as one that held his peace.
