1Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD .
1Saul te Samuel loh, “Nang he A pilnam Israel soah manghai la koelh ham BOEIPA loh kai n'tueih coeng. Te dongah BOEIPA kah olthui ol he tahae ah hnatun laeh.
2Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
2Caempuei BOEIPA loh, “Israel Egypt lamkah a caeh uh vaengah Amalek loh longpueng ah a mah tih a saii te ka cawh ni.
3Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
3Cet cet lamtah Amalek te tloek laeh. Anih taengkah te boeih thup pah lamtah anih soah na thinphat boeh. Te dongah tongpa lamloh huta khaw, camoe lamloh cahni hil khaw, vaito lamloh tu hil khaw, kalauk lamloh laak hil khaw ngawn,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
4And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
4Te dongah pilnam te Saul loh a yaak sak tih amih te rhalkap thawng yahnih neh Judah hlang thawng rha la Telaim ah a soep.
5And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley.
5Saul tah Amalek khopuei la cet tih, soklong ah a rhongngol thil.
6¶ And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye shewed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
6Te vaengah Keni te Saul loh, “Amalek lakli lamloh cet laeh, nong laeh, suntla laeh, nang te amih neh hmaih kam phae ve. Nang long tah Egypt lamkah aka pawk Israel ca boeih taengah sitlohnah na saii pah,” a ti nah. Te dongah Keni te Amalek lakli lamloh nong.
7And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou comest to Shur, that is over against Egypt.
7Te phoeiah Havilah lamkah Egypt imdan Shur la aka pha Amalek te Saul loh a tloek.
8And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
8Te vaengah Amalek manghai Agag te a hing la a tuuk tih pilnam boeih te cunghang ha neh a thup.
9But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.
9Tedae Saul neh pilnam loh Agag khaw, boiva neh saelhung then khaw, a toitup neh tuca khaw, a then boeih tah a hnaih tih amih te thup ham huem pawh. Te dongah hnopai boeih khuiah a hnawtkhoe neh a morhoe bueng te a thup.
10¶ Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying,
10Te vaengah BOEIPA ol loh Samuel taengla thoeng tih,
11It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.
11“Saul manghai la ka manghai sak he damti coeng. Kai taeng lamloh hnukpoh tih ka ol a thoh puei moenih,” a ti nah. Samuel taengah a sai dongah khoyin puet BOEIPA taengah pang.
12And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.
12Saul doe ham te mincang ah Samuel thoo coeng. Tedae Samuel te a voek tih, “Saul te Karmel la pawk tih a kut a thoh lahko, te phoeiah tinghil tih aka khum te Gilgal la suntla lahko,'' a ti nah.
13And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the LORD : I have performed the commandment of the LORD .
13Samuel te Saul taeng a pha vaengah Saul loh, “BOEIPA rhang neh na yoethen coeng, BOEIPA ol te ka thoh puei ngawn ne,” a ti nah.
14And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
14Tedae Samuel loh, “Ka hna dongkah tu ol he ta? Saelhung kah a ol khaw ka yaak,” a ti nah.
15And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.
15Te vaengah Saul loh, “Amalek taeng lamkah boiva then neh saelhung te pilnam loh a hnaih dongah BOEIPA na Pathen taengah nawn hamla hang khuen uh, tih a hoeikhang te tah ka thup uh,” a ti nah.
16Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the LORD hath said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on.
16Tedae Samuel loh Saul te, “Duem lamtah khoyin ah BOEIPA loh kai taengah a thui te nang taengah kan thui eh?,” a ti nah hatah, “Thui lah,” a ti nah.
17And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel?
17Samuel loh, “Na mikhmuh ah na noe cakhaw, nang he Israel koca kah a lu neh Israel manghai la BOEIPA loh nang ng'koelh moenih a?
18And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.
18Nang he longpuei la BOEIPA loh n'tueih vaengah, “Cet lamtah Amalek hlangtholh rhoek te thup laeh, amih te boeih a thok duela vathoh thil,” a ti.
19Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD , but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD ?
19Tedae balae tih BOEIPA ol na yaak pawh? Kutbuem dongah na cu tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae ni na saii,” a ti nah.
20And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD , and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
20Samuel taengah Saul loh, “BOEIPA ol te ka hnatun tih BOEIPA loh kai n'tueih vanbangla, longpuei ah ka cet. Te dongah Amalek manghai Agag te kang khuen tih Amalek te ka thup.
21But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God in Gilgal.
21Tedae kutbuem khui lamloh boiva neh saelhung then tah Gilgal kah na Pathen BOEIPA taengah nawn hamla pilnam loh yaehtaboeih la a loh,” a ti nah.
22And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD ? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
22Te dongah Samuel loh, “Hmueihhlutnah he BOEIPA ol hnatun bangla hmueihhlutnah neh hmueih dongah BOEIPA te hmae a? Olngai he hmueih lakah, hnatung ham he tutal kah a tha lakah then ngai.
23For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD , he hath also rejected thee from being king.
23Boekoek bihma kah tholhnah, boethae neh sithui dongah na mangkhak tih BOEIPA ol te na hnawt dongah namah te manghai lamloh n'hnawt van coeng,” a ti nah.
24¶ And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD , and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
24Te daengah Saul loh Samuel taengah, “Pilnam ka rhih hulah BOEIPA olpaek neh nang ol ka poe tih amih ol ka hnatun tholh coeng.
25Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD .
25Tedae tahae ah ka tholh he ng'rhen mai laeh. Kai taengah ha bal mai lamtah BOEIPA taengah tho ka thueng mai eh,” a ti nah.
26And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD , and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.
26Tedae Saul te Samuel loh, “BOEIPA ol te na hnawt dongah nang taengla ka mael mahpawh. Israel soah manghai la na om te BOEIPA loh nang n'hnawt coeng,” a ti nah.
27And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
27Samuel te caeh ham a hooi uh vaengah a hnikul hmoi te a doek pah tih a phen pah.
28And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou.
28Te vaengah anih te Samuel loh, “Israel ram he tihnin ah BOEIPA loh nang taeng lamkah a phen tih nang lakah aka then na hui taengla a paek coeng.
29And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.
29Israel kah yoeyah Pathen he rhi a lat moenih. A hal ham khaw anih tah hlang mailai pawt dongah a hal moenih,” a ti nah.
30Then he said, I have sinned: yet honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God.
30Saul loh, “Ka tholh dae ka pilnam kah a hamca rhoek hmai neh Israel hmai ah kai he n'thangpom mai lamtah kai taengla ha mael mai. BOEIPA na Pathen te ka bawk tangloeng pawn eh,” a ti nah.
31So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD .
31Te dongah Samuel te Saul hnukla bal tih Saul loh BOEIPA te a bawk.
32¶ Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
32Te vaengah Samuel loh, “Amalek manghai Agag te kai taengla han khuen,” a ti nah. Te dongah Agag te anih taengah phatphat cet. Te vaengah Agag loh, “Dueknah khahing he khum taktak coeng,” a ti.
33And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.
33Samuel loh, “Na cunghang loh huta rhoek a cakol sak vanbangla na nu kah tanu te cakol la om van saeh,” a ti nah tih Gilgal kah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah Samuel loh Agag te a petpet a sah.
34¶ Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
34Samuel te Ramah la cet tih Saul te Gibeah kah amah im la cet.
35And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
35Te lamkah longtah Saul sawt ham te Samuel loh a dueknah hnin duela thoelh voel pawh. Tedae Saul ham te Samuel nguekcoi tih Israel soah Saul a manghai sak te BOEIPA khaw damti coeng.
