1Then Nahash the Ammonite came up and encamped against Jabesh Gilead; and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, “Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you.”
1Ammoni Nahash te cet tih Jabesh Gilead te a rhaeh thil. Te vaengah Nahash taengah Jabesh hlang boeih loh, “Kaimih neh moi bop sih lamtah nang taengah ka thotat uh eh,” a ti nah.
2Nahash the Ammonite said to them, “On this condition I will make it with you, that all your right eyes be gouged out. I will make this dishonor all Israel.”
2Tedae amih te Ammoni Nahash loh, “Nangmih taengah he he ka saii ni. Nangmih kah bantang mik te boeih aka koeih vetih Israel boeih soah kokhahnah ka khuen pah ni,” a ti nah.
3The elders of Jabesh said to him, “Give us seven days, that we may send messengers to all the borders of Israel; and then, if there is no one to save us, we will come out to you.”
3Te dongah anih te Jabesh a hamca rhoek loh, “Kaimih ham khohnin hnin rhih mah ham hmoel lamtah Israel khorhi tom ah puencawn ka tueih eh. Te vaengah kaimih he n'khang uh pawt atah nang taengla ka kun uh bitni,” a ti nah.
4Then the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul, and spoke these words in the ears of the people, then all the people lifted up their voice and wept.
4Te dongah puencawn rhoek loh Saul kah Gibeah a pha uh vaengah pilnam kah a hna ah ol a thui pa uh hatah pilnam pum loh a ol a huel uh tih rhap uh.
5Behold, Saul came following the oxen out of the field; and Saul said, “What ails the people that they weep?” They told him the words of the men of Jabesh.
5Te vaengah Saul tah lohma lamloh saelhung hnukah pakcak ha pawk. Te dongah Saul loh, “Pilnam he balae tih a rhah,” a ti nah hatah Jabesh hlang rhoek kah olka te a thui pa uh.
6God’s Spirit came mightily on Saul when he heard those words, and his anger burned hot.
6Pathen Mueihla loh Saul soah a thaihtak sak tih te rhoek kah ol te a yaak a yaak vaengah a thintoek khaw muep sai.
7He took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, then sent them throughout all the borders of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, “Whoever doesn’t come out after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen.” The dread of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out as one man.
7Te dongah vaito rhoi a loh tih a tloek. Te phoeiah puencawn rhoek kut neh Israel khorhi tom ah a pat tih, “Saul hnuk neh Samuel hnukah aka mop pawt tah a vaito bangla a saii ni,” a ti nah. Te vaengah BOEIPA kah birhihnah loh pilnam a tlak thil tih hlang loh pakhat la ha pawk uh.
8He counted them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
8Te vaengah Bezek kah rhoek te a soep hatah Israel ca thawng ya thum neh Judah hlang thawng sawmthum om uh.
9They said to the messengers who came, “Tell the men of Jabesh Gilead, ‘Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you will be rescued.’” The messengers came and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
9Te vaengah aka pawk puencawn rhoek te, “Jabesh hlang taengah he he thui pah. Thangvuen kho a ling, a ling vaengah loeihnah loh nangmih taengah om ni,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah puencawn rhoek te cet uh tih Jabesh hlang rhoek taengah a puen pa uh daengah a kohoe uh.
10Therefore the men of Jabesh said, “Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you shall do with us all that seems good to you.”
10Te dongah Jabesh hlang rhoek loh, “Thangvuen ah nangmih taengla ka kun uh vetih na mik dongah then na ti bangla kaimih taengah boeih na saii thai,” a ti nah.
11On the next day, Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the middle of the camp in the morning watch, and struck the Ammonites until the heat of the day. Those who remained were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
11A vuen ah pilnam te Saul loh hlop thum la a boel tih mincang khopo ah rhaehhmuen khui te a muk uh. Ammon te khosae duela a tloek uh. Te dongah aka sueng rhoek khaw taekyaak uh tih amih khuiah tun bok pataeng paih uh pawh.
12The people said to Samuel, “Who is he who said, ‘Shall Saul reign over us?’ Bring those men, that we may put them to death!”
12Te phoeiah pilnam loh Samuel taengah, “'Saul he mamih soah manghai mai saeh a?' aka ti te unim? Tekah hlang te nang khuen vetih ka duek sak uh mako,” a ti nah.
13Saul said, “No man shall be put to death today; for today the LORD has rescued Israel.”
13Tedae Saul loh, “Tihnin ah BOEIPA loh Israel ham loeihnah han saii coeng dongah tekah hlang te tihnin ah duek boel saeh,” a ti nah.
14Then Samuel said to the people, “Come! Let’s go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.”
14Te phoeiah pilnam te Samuel loh, “Halo uh lah, Gilgal la cet uh sih lamtah mangpa ke pahoi tlaih uh sih,” a ti nah.
15All the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal. There they offered sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
15Te dongah pilnam pum loh Gilgal la cet uh tih Saul te Gilgal kah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah pahoi a manghai sak uh. Te vaengah rhoepnah hmueih te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah pahoi a ngawn uh tih Saul neh Israel hlang boeih loh bahoeng a kohoe uh.
