1 David loh som te hawt a 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 David has passed on a little from the top, and behold, Ziba, servant of Mephibosheth, [is there] to meet him, and a couple of donkeys [are] saddled, and on them [are] two hundred loaves, and one hundred bunches of raisins, and one hundred of summer-fruit, and a bottle of wine.
2 Manghai loh Ziba te, “Na taengkah rhoek he balae he?” a ti nah. 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 ti nah.
And the king says to Ziba, “What [are] these to you?” And Ziba says, “The donkeys for the household of the king to ride on, and the bread and the summer-fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine for the wearied to drink in the wilderness.”
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 ti nah.
And the king says, “And where [is] the son of your lord?” And Ziba says to the king, “Behold, he is abiding in Jerusalem, for he said, Today the house of Israel gives back the kingdom of my father to me.”
4 Te phoeiah manghai loh Ziba te, “Mephibosheth taengkah aka om carhui tah nang ham coeng ni,” a ti nah. Te dongah Ziba loh, “Ka boei manghai kah na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang ham ni ka bakop coeng,” a ti.
And the king says to Ziba, “Behold, all that Mephibosheth has [is] for you”; and Ziba says, “I have bowed myself—I find grace in your eyes, my lord, O king.”
5 Manghai David loh Bahurim a 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 King David has come to Bahurim, and behold, a man there is coming out, of the family of the house of Saul, and his name [is] Shimei, son of Gera, he comes out, coming out and reviling;
6 David neh manghai David kah sal rhoek boeih te lungto neh a dae. Te vaengah pilnam boeih neh hlangrhalh boeih loh banvoei, bantang ah om dae ta.
and he stones David with stones, and all the servants of King David, and all the people, and all the mighty men on his right and on his left.
7 Shimei loh anih Te kosi a sah thil vaengah, “Cet, cet, hlang thii aka hawk neh hlang muen.
And thus said Shimei in his reviling: “Go out, go out, O man of blood, and man of worthlessness!
8 Saul imkhui kah a thii boeih Te BOEIPA loh nangmah soah n'thuung coeng. Anih yueng la na manghai coeng dae ram he BOEIPA loh na capa Absalom kut ah a paek coeng. Na hlang thii dongah namah kah yoethae khuila na kun coeng te,” a ti nah.
YHWH has turned back on you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead you have reigned, and YHWH gives the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom; and behold, you [are] in your evil, for you [are] 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 ti nah.
And Abishai son of Zeruiah says to the king, “Why does this dead dog revile my lord the king? Please let me pass over and I turn aside 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 ti nah.
And the king says, “And what do I [have to do] with you, O sons of Zeruiah? For let him revile; even because YHWH has said to him, Revile David; and who says, Why have You done so?”
11 David loh Abishai neh a sal rhoek boeih taengah, “Ka ko khui lamloh aka thoeng, ka capa long pataeng ka hinglu he a toem atah Benjamin koca long aisat te, anih te om ngawn saeh lamtah BOEIPA loh amah taengah a thui pah coeng dongah thaephoei ngawn saeh.
And David says to Abishai, and to all his servants, “Behold, my son who came out of my bowels is seeking my life, and also surely now the Benjamite; leave him alone, and let him revile, for YHWH has commanded [so] to him;
12 Ka mikhmuh kah ka thaesainah he BOEIPA loh a hmuh khaming. Tihnin ah anih kah rhunkhuennah yuengla BOEIPA loh kai hamla a then neh ham mael bitni,” a ti nah.
it may be YHWH looks on my affliction, and YHWH has turned back good to me for his reviling this day.”
13 Te daengah David neh a hlang rhoek loh longpuei te a paan uh. Shimei Te a khaepdan kah tlang hlaep ah a caeh vaengah khaw a caeh doela thae a phoei pueng. Amah kah voeivang ah lungto a dong tih laipi khaw a phaeh.
And David goes with his men in the way, and Shimei is going at the side of the hill opposite him, going on, and he reviles, and stones with stones close by him, and has dusted with dust.
14 Manghai neh a taengkah pilnam boeih khaw buhmueh rhathih la ha pawk tih pahoi duem uh.
And the king comes in, and all the people who [are] with him, wearied, and they are refreshed there.
15 Te vaengah Absalom neh Israel hlang pilnam boeih Te Jerusalem la pawk uh tih anih te Ahithophel loh a puei.
And Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, have come to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him,
16 David kah olrhoep Arkii Hushai Te Absalom taengla kun. Te phoeiah Hushai loh Absalom te, “Manghai tah hing pai saeh, manghai tah hing pai saeh,” a ti.
and it comes to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, has come to Absalom, that Hushai says to Absalom, “Let the king live! Let the king live!”
17 Tedae Absalom loh Hushai te, “Na hui te na sitlohnah coeng atah balae tih na hui taengah na caeh pawh,” a ti nah.
And Absalom says to Hushai, “[Is] this your kindness with your friend? Why have you not gone with your 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 says to Absalom, “No, for he whom YHWH has chosen, and this people, even all the men of Israel, I am his, and I abide with him;
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 ti nah.
and secondly, for whom do I labor? Is it not before his son? As I served before your father, so I am before you.”
20 Te dongah Absalom loh Ahithophel taengah, “Ka saii uh ham te na cilsuep pae uh laeh,” a ti nah.
And Absalom says to Ahithophel, “Give counsel for yourself [for] what we do.”
21 Tedae Ahithophel loh Absalom te, “Im tawt la a 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 ti nah.
And Ahithophel says to Absalom, “Go in to the concubines of your father, whom he left to keep the house, and all Israel has heard that you have been abhorred by your father, and the hands of all who [are] with you have been strong.”
22 Absalom ham Te imphu ah dap a tuk pauh. Absalom loh Israel tom kah mikhmuh ah a napa kah yula rhoek te a kun thil.
And they spread out the tent for Absalom on the roof, and Absalom goes in to the concubines of his father before the eyes of all Israel.
23 Te vaeng tue ah tah Ahithophel kah cilsuep a 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 counseled in those days [is] as [when] one inquires at the word of God; so [is] all the counsel of Ahithophel both to David and to Absalom.
