2 Samuel 21
1 David tue vaengah kum thum tah kum khat phoeiah kum khat khokha tlung. Te dongah David loh BOEIPA maelhmai tea toem. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Saul neh anih imkhui loh Giboneea ngawn vaengkah thii kawng tea thui.
There was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David sought the face of Yahweh. Yahweh said, “It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put the Gibeonites to death.”
2 Te dongah manghai loh Gibonee rhoek tea khue tih amih te, “Gibonee rhoek amih he Israel ca khui lamkah moenih. Tedae Amori hlangrhuel lamkah ni. Israel ca rhoek loh amih taengah ol a caeng uh coeng. Tedae Israel ca neh Judah kongah ni Saul loh amihTe a thatlai neh ngawn hamlaa moeh,” a tinah.
The king called the Gibeonites and said to them (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, and the children of Israel had sworn to them; and Saul sought to kill them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah);
3 David loh Gibonee rhoek taengah, “Nangmih taengah balae kan saii eh? BOEIPA kah rho te yoethen sak ham ba nen lae rhong eh?,” a tinah.
and David said to the Gibeonites, “What should I do for you? And with what should I make atonement, that you may bless Yahweh’s inheritance?”
4 Te dongah Gibonee rhoek loh, “Saul taeng lamkah neh anih imkhui lamkah cak neh suiTe kaimih loh ka kuek uh moenih. Israel khuikah pakhat ngawn ham kaimih hut moenih,” a ti na uh. Te vaengah, “Na ti uh coeng te tah nangmih ham balae kan saii eh?” a tinah.
The Gibeonites said to him, “It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his house; neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel.” He said, “I will do for you whatever you say.”
5 Te phoeiah manghai te, “Mamih aka khap tih mamih aka lutlat thil hlang, anih loh Israel khorhi tom ah aka pai tea mitmoeng sak.
They said to the king, “The man who consumed us and who plotted against us, that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel,
6 Anih koca lamkah hlang parhihTe kaimih taengah han tloeng lammah han tloeng saeh lamtah, amihTe BOEIPA kah a coelh Saul khopuei Gibeah kah BOEIPA taengah hoeng uh saeh,” a tiuh. Te dongah manghai loh, “Kamah loh kan tloeng bitni,” a tinah.
let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them up to Yahweh in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Yahweh.” The king said, “I will give them.”
7 Tedae amih laklo kah BOEIPA olhlo bangla manghai tah Saul koca Jonathan capa Mephibosheth taengaha thinphat. Te tah David laklo neh Saul capa Jonathan laklo kah ni.
But the king spared Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of Yahweh’s oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
8 Tedae manghai loh Aiah canu Rizpah loh Saul hama sak pah ca tongpa panit, Armoni neh Mephibosheth, Saul canu Mikhal loh Mekoloti Barzillai capa Adriel hama sak pah ca tongpa panga tea loh.
But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Merab the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
9 Te phoeiah amihTe Gibonee kut aha paek tih BOEIPA mikhmuh kah tlang aha hoeng uh tih amih parhih tah a parhih la rhenten cungkuuh. Amih tah cangah cuek vaengkah cangtun cangaha moecuek hnin vaengaha duek sakuh.
He delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites; and they hanged them on the mountain before Yahweh, and all seven of them fell together. They were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest.
10 Te vaengah Aiah canu Rizpah loh tlamhni tea loh tih cangah tong lamloh vaan lamkah tui loh amiha bo thil duela lungpang dongah a phaih thil. Te dongah khothaih ah vaan vaa, khoyin ah kohong mulhingTe amih soah cuuk sak pawh.
Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water poured on them from the sky. She allowed neither the birds of the sky to rest on them by day, nor the animals of the field by night.
11 Saul kah yula Aiah nu Rizpah kah a saii te David taenglaa puen pauh.
David was told what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
12 Te dongah DavidTe cet tih Saul rhuh neh a capa Jonathan rhuh te Jabesh Gilead khokung taeng lamloha loh. Amih te Bethshan toltung lamkaha huenuh. Te tah Philisti kah amiha kuiok nah neh amiha kingkaek nah ni. Philisti kah Gilboa ah Saul te Philisti loh hnin at neh pahoia ngawn.
So David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the street of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hanged them in the day that the Philistines killed Saul in Gilboa;
13 Saul kah a rhuh neh a capa Jonathan kah a rhuh te khaw te lamloha khuen uh daengaha rhuha hoeng uh tangtae khaw tea soemuh.
and he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son. They also gathered the bones of those who were hanged.
14 Saul neh a capa Jonathan kah a rhuh te Benjamin kho Zela kah a napa Kish phuel aha up uh tih manghai loha uen bangla boeiha saiiuh. Te phoeiah ni khohmuen ham a thangthuiTe Pathen loh a rhoi pueng.
They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father; and they performed all that the king commanded. After that, God answered prayer for the land.
15 Te vaengah Philisti neh Israel laklo ah caem koep om tih David neh amah taengkah a sal rhoek a suntlak thil. Philisti tea vathoh vaengah David lamlum.
The Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. David grew faint;
16 Ishbibenob, Rapha cahlah Ishbibenob, a caai khiing mah rhohum khiing ah ya thum a lo pah. Anih loh a thai la a muk tih David te ngawn hamla cai.
and Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of bronze in weight, he being armed with a new sword, thought he would kill David.
17 Tedae David te Zeruiah capa Abishai loh a bom tih Philisti tea tloekpah. Anih te a ngawn van dongah David kah hlang rhoek loh anih taengaha toemngam uh tih, 'Caemtloek la kaimih taengah koep na lo pawt mako, Te daengah ni Israel kah hmaithoi te athih pawt eh?,” a tinah.
But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “Don’t go out with us to battle any more, so that you don’t quench the lamp of Israel.”
18 Te phoeiah om bal tih Goba ah Philisti caem koep thoo bal tih Khushathi Sibbekhai loh Rapha cahlah Saph tea ngawn.
After this, there was again war with the Philistines at Gob. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was of the sons of the giant.
19 Goba tangkhuet ah Philisti neh caemtloek koep om bal tih Bethlehem Jaareoregim capa Elhanan loh Ghitti Goliath tea ngawn. Te vaengkah a caai tueng mah hnitah nah tampai bangla om.
There was again war with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite’s brother, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
20 Gath ah khaw caemtloek koep om tiha hlang te a songsang neh a cungnueh khaw om. A kut dongkah kutdawn neh a kho khodawn parhuk parhuk om tih pakul pali rhenten a lo pah. AnihTe khaw Rapha lamkah ni a sak.
There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on every hand and six toes on every foot, twenty-four in number, and he also was born to the giant.
21 Israel tea veet dongah David maya, Shimeah Shimei capa Jonathan loh anih te a ngawn.
When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David’s brother, killed him.
22 Te rhoek pali te Gath ah Rapha lamkaha sak uh tih David kut neh a sal rhoek kah kut ah cungkuuh.
These four were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
