2 Samuel 16
1 David loh som te hawta poeng vaengah Mephibosheth kah tueihyoeih Ziba loh, laak rhoi te a khih tih vaidam hluem yahnih, misur rhae yakhat, khohal caak yakhat, misur khap at neh anih tarha han doe.
And when David was a little past the summit, behold, Ziba, Mephibosheth's servant, met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred [loaves] of bread, and a hundred raisin-cakes, and a hundred cakes of summer fruits, and a flask of wine.
2 Manghai loh Ziba te, “Na taengkah rhoek he balae he?” a tinah. Ziba loh, “Laak rhoiTe manghai cako loh a ngol nah ham, vaidam, vaidam neh khohal caak he camoe rhoek loh a caak ham, mishur he khosoek kah lamlum rhoek loh a ok ham,” a tinah.
And the king said to Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses are for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruits for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as are faint in the wilderness may drink.
3 Manghai loh, “Na boei kah a capa ta?,” a ti nah hatah Ziba loh, “Manghai te, 'Tihnin ah a pa kah ram he Israel imkhui, kamah taengla ham mael pawn ni,’ a ti tih Jerusalem ah om ta ke,” a tinah.
And the king said, And where is thy master's son? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he abides at Jerusalem; for he said, To-day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.
4 Te phoeiah manghai loh Ziba te, “Mephibosheth taengkah aka om carhui tah nang ham coeng ni,” a tinah. Te dongah Ziba loh, “Ka boei manghai kah na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang ham ni ka bakop coeng,” a ti.
And the king said to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained to Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly bow myself: may I find favour in thy sight, my lord, O king.
5 Manghai David loh Bahurima pha vaengah tah Saul imkhui neh a huiko khui lamkah hlang pakhat lawt ha thoeng. Anih ming tah Gera capa Shimei tih a thoeng la, a thoeng neh thae a phoei.
And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, there came out from thence a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed,
6 David neh manghai David kah sal rhoek boeih te lungto neha dae. Te vaengah pilnam boeih neh hlangrhalh boeih loh banvoei, bantang ah om dae ta.
and cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David; and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
7 Shimei loh anihTe kosi a sah thil vaengah, “Cet, cet, hlang thii aka hawk neh hlang muen.
And thus said Shimei as he cursed: Away, away, thou man of blood and man of Belial!
8 Saul imkhui kah a thii boeihTe BOEIPA loh nangmah soah n'thuung coeng. Anih yueng la na manghai coeng dae ram he BOEIPA loh na capa Absalom kut aha paek coeng. Na hlang thii dongah namah kah yoethae khuila na kun coeng te,” a tinah.
Jehovah has returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and Jehovah has given the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son; and behold, thou art [taken] in thine own evil, for thou art a man of blood.
9 Te vaengah Zeruiah capa Abishai loh manghai taengah, “Balae tih ui duek loh thae a phoei van he, ka boeipa manghai nang ka paan saeh lamtah a lu ka tloek pa pawn aya?,” a tinah.
And Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.
10 Tedae manghai loh, “Kai neh nangmih Zeruiah koca rhoek tah mebang tloe lae? BOEIPA loh anih taengah, 'David ke thaephoei thil,” a ti nah atah thaephoei mai saeh saw. Te dongah, 'He he ba ham lae na saii,’ u long a ti nah voel eh,” a tinah.
And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, for Jehovah has said to him, Curse David! Who shall then say, Why dost thou so?
11 David loh Abishai neh a sal rhoek boeih taengah, “Ka ko khui lamloh aka thoeng, ka capa long pataeng ka hinglu hea toem atah Benjamin koca long aisat te, anih te om ngawn saeh lamtah BOEIPA loh amah taengaha thui pah coeng dongah thaephoei ngawn saeh.
And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, who came forth of my bowels, seeks my life: how much more now a Benjaminite? let him alone and let him curse; for Jehovah has bidden him.
12 Ka mikhmuh kah ka thaesainah he BOEIPA loh a hmuh khaming. Tihnin ah anih kah rhunkhuennah yuengla BOEIPA loh kai hamlaa then neh ham mael bitni,” a tinah.
It may be that Jehovah will look on mine affliction, and that Jehovah will requite me good for my being cursed this day.
13 Te daengah David neh a hlang rhoek loh longpuei te a paanuh. ShimeiTe a khaepdan kah tlang hlaep aha caeh vaengah khaw a caeh doela thae a phoei pueng. Amah kah voeivang ah lungtoa dong tih laipi khaw a phaeh.
And David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hill's side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
14 Manghai neh a taengkah pilnam boeih khaw buhmueh rhathih la ha pawk tih pahoi duemuh.
And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.
15 Te vaengah Absalom neh Israel hlang pilnam boeihTe Jerusalem la pawk uh tih anih te Ahithophel loh a puei.
Now Absalom, and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
16 David kah olrhoep Arkii HushaiTe Absalom taengla kun. Te phoeiah Hushai loh Absalom te, “Manghai tah hing pai saeh, manghai tah hing pai saeh,” a ti.
And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, Long live the king! Long live the king!
17 Tedae Absalom loh Hushai te, “Na hui te na sitlohnah coeng atah balae tih na hui taengah na caeh pawh,” a tinah.
And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why didst thou not go with thy friend?
18 Hushai loh Absalom taengah, “Moenih, u khaw BOEIPA neh pilnam loh, Israel ca boeih loh a tuek atah, anih hut la ka om vetih, a taengah kho ka sak ni ta.
And Hushai said to Absalom, No; but whom Jehovah, and this people, and all the men of Israel choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide.
19 U taengah nim ka thohtat bal eh? Na pa mikhmuh ah ka thohtat bangla a capa mikhmuh ah moenih a? Te dongah namah mikhmuh ah ni ka om eh?,” a tinah.
And again, whom should I serve? should it not be in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence.
20 Te dongah Absalom loh Ahithophel taengah, “Ka saii uh ham te na cilsuep pae uh laeh,” a tinah.
And Absalom said to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do.
21 Tedae Ahithophel loh Absalom te, “Im tawt laa paih na pa kah yula rhoekTe kun thil. Na pa kah borhim te Israel boeih loh ya saeh lamtah namah taengkah aka om hlang boeih kah a kut loh n'duel saeh,” a tinah.
And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to thy father's concubines, whom he has left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art become odious with thy father; and the hands of all that are with thee shall be strong.
22 Absalom hamTe imphu ah dapa tuk pauh. Absalom loh Israel tom kah mikhmuh ah a napa kah yula rhoek te a kun thil.
So they spread a tent for Absalom upon the roof; and Absalom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.
23 Te vaeng tue ah tah Ahithophel kah cilsuepa paek te Pathen kah olka aka dawt hlang banglam ni a om coeng. David taeng neh Absalom taengkah aka omTe Ahithophel kah cilsuep boeih ni.
And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had inquired of the word of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
