Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
1Samuel khaw patong la a om coeng dongah a ca rhoek te Israel ham lai aka tloek la a khueh.
2Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beer-sheba.
2Te vaengah a ca cacuek ming tah Joel, a pabae ah Abijah te om tih Beersheba ah lai a tloek.
3And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
3A ca rhoi te amah long, amah long ah a pongpa rhoi kolla mueluemnah hnukah phael tih kapbaih a loh rhoi dongah laitloeknah khaw a haeh sak rhoi.
4Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,
4Te dongah Israel kah a hamca rhoek tah boeih coi uh thae tih Ramah kah Samuel te a paan uh.
5And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.
5Te phoeiah anih te, “Na patong coeng tih na ca rhoi te na longpuei ah a pongpa moenih ke, kaimih ham manghai khueh laeh, namtom cungkuem bangla kaimih lai aka tloek ham,” a ti na uh.
6¶ But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD .
6Tedae ol te Samuel mik ah lolh coeng. “Kaimih lai aka tloek la kaimih taengah manghai m'pae,” a ti uh van neh Samuel tah BOEIPA taengah thangthui.
7And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
7Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Samuel te, “A cungkuem la pilnam ol te hnatun lah, nang taengah a cal uh te nang n'hnawt uh dongah moenih. Tedae kai he ni amih kah manghai lamloh n'hnawt uh.
8According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.
8Egypt lamkah amih ka caeh puei khohnin lamloh tahae khohnin duela tekah khoboe te boeih a saii uh. Kai he n'hnoo uh tih Pathen tloe rhoek taengah tho a thueng uh. Amih tangkhuet loh nang taengah khaw a saii uh.
9Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.
9Te dongah amih ol te hnatun mai. Tedae amih te rhalrhing rhoe rhalrhing sak lamtah manghai kah laitloeknah te amih taengah thui pah. Anih te amih soah manghai bitni,” a ti nah.
10¶ And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.
10Te dongah Samuel loh BOEIPA ol boeih te amah taeng lamloh manghai aka bih pilnam taengah a thui.
11And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.
11Te vaengah, “Nangmih soah aka manghai ham manghai kah laitloeknah tah he tlam he om ni. Na ca rhoek te a loh vetih leng dongah amah ham tloep a khueh ni. A marhang caem yueng la leng hmai ah yong uh ni.
12And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.
12Te phoeiah a tawn te phoh pah ham, a cangah te aka ah pah ham, caemtloek hnopai neh leng dongkah hnopai aka saii ham te thawngkhat kah mangpa, sawmnga kah mangpa te a khueh ni.
13And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.
13Na tanu rhoek te khaw buhpoep la, buthongnu la, maehhai la a loh ni.
14And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them , and give them to his servants.
14Na khohmuen neh na misur khaw, na olive then te a rhawt vetih a sal taengla a paek ni.
15And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
15Na cangtii neh na misur te parha ah pakhat a loh vetih a imkhoem neh a sal taengla a paek ni.
16And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work.
16Na salpa neh na sal huta khaw, na tongpang then neh na laak khaw a loh vetih amah bi te a saii sak ni.
17He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.
17Nangmih kah boiva te a loh vetih namamih te anih kah sal la na om uh ni.
18And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
18Tekah khohnin ah namamih ham na tuek uh na manghai kongah na pang uh cakhaw amah khohnin ah nangmih te BOEIPA loh n'doo van mahpawh,” a ti nah.
19¶ Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;
19Tedae Samuel ol te hnatun ham pilnam loh a aal uh tih, “Moenih, manghai pakhat tah kaimih soah om saeh.
20That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.
20Te daengah ni kaimih khaw namtom rhoek bangla boeih ka om uh eh. Ka manghai long tah kaimih ham lai a tloek vetih kaimih hmai ah lamhma ni, kaimih kah caemtloek khaw a tloek ni,” a ti uh.
21And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD .
21Pilnam ol te Samuel loh boeih a yaak vaengah tah BOEIPA kah a hna dongla a thui pah.
22And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.
22Tedae Samuel te BOEIPA loh, “Amih ol te hnatun lamtah manghai pakhat tah amih taengah manghai sak,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah Israel hlang rhoek te Samuel loh, “Hlang boeih loh amah kho la cet laeh saeh,” a ti nah.
