2 Samuel 4
1 Hebron ah Abnera duek te Saul capa loh a yaak vaengah a kut la sut kha tih Israel rhoek khaw boeih letuh.
Now when Ishbaal, Saul's son, heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, he lost courage, and all Israel was troubled.
2 Saul capa he hlang panit caem mangpa la omrhoi. Pakhat ming tah Baanah tiha pabae ming tah Benjamin koca lamkah Beeroth Rimmon capa Rekhab ni. Te vaengah Beeroth khaw Benjamin laa taethilcoeng.
And Ishbaal, Saul's son, had two men who were captains of bands; the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the people of Benjamin (for Beeroth was regarded as belonging to the people of Benjamin;
3 Tedae Beeroth te Gatayim la yong tiha om coeng dongah tihnin due pahoi bakuep.
and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have lived as foreigners there until this day).
4 Te vaengah Saul capa Jonathan kah a ca tongpa kho khaem tah kum nga lo ca coeng. Jezreel lamkah Saul neh Jonathan kah olthanga pawk vaengah anih aka poeh loh anih te a poeh tih a rhaelrham puei. Tedaea rhaelrham hamlaa tamto dongaha paloe puei tih vik khaem. Anih ming tah Mephibosheth ni.
Now Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son whose feet were crippled. He was five years old when the news came of Saul and Jonathan from Jezreel, and his nurse took him up and fled. And it happened as she was hurrying to get away that he fell and was injured. And his name was Mippibaal.
5 Beeroth Rimmon capa Rekhab neh BaanahTe cet rhoi tih khothun kholing ah Ishbosheth im la pawkrhoi. Te vaengah IsboesethTe imphu kah thingkong dongah ana yalh.
The sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbaal, as he took his rest at noon.
6 Amih rhoiTe cangrhang aka lo bangla im khui la kun rhoi tih a bung aha thunrhoi. Te phoeiah Rekhab neh a mana Baanah te vawl viuhrhoi.
And look, the doorkeeper of the house had been sifting wheat, and she became drowsy and fell asleep. And Rechab and his brother Baanah slipped by.
7 Ima pha rhoi vaengah Ishbosheth tah imhman thingkong dongkah baiphaih dongah yalh. Te dongah anih te a ngawn rhoi tiha duek sak phoeiah a lu tea rhaih pah rhoi. Anih lu tea khuen rhoi tih khoyin khing Arabah long ah cetrhoi.
And they went into the house where he was lying on his bed in his bedchamber. And they struck him and killed him, and beheaded him. And they took his head and went by the way of the Arabah all night.
8 Ishbosheth lu te Hebron kah David taenglaa pawk puei rhoi tih manghai te, “Na thunkha Saul capa Ishbosheth kah a lu he. Anih loh na hinglua mae dae BOEIPA loh ka boeipa manghai taengah hang khueh coeng. Tawnlohnah tah tihnin ah Saul so neha tiingan soah pai coeng he,” a tirhoi.
They brought the head of Ishbaal to David at Hebron, and said to the king, "Look, the head of Ishbaal, the son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life. The LORD has avenged my lord the king this day of Saul and his descendants."
9 Tedae David loh Beeroth Rimmon capa Rekhab neh a mana Baanah tea doo tih, “BOEIPA kah hingnah dongah ka hinglu he citcai cungkuem lamkah aka lat,
David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, "As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
10 Saula duek tarha vaengah kai taengla ha puen tih a thuiTe amah mikhmuh neh aka phong bangla om. Tedae anih kah olthangthen ka thuung ham te amah ni ka tuuk tih Ziklag ah ka ngawn.
when someone told me, 'Look, Saul is dead,' thinking to have brought good news, I took hold of him, and killed him in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news.
11 Hlang dueng, a im kah thingkong dongkah mai aka ngawn hlang rhoi he halang rhoi coeng. A thii te na kut dong lamloh ka suk vetih diklai lamloh nangmih rhoi te kang khoe pawn mahpawt nim?,” a tinah.
How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house on his bed, shall I not now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?"
12 David loh tueihyoeih rhoek tea uen tih amih rhoi te a ngawnuh. A kut a kho tea tlueh pa tih Hebron tuibuem aha hoeiuh. Tedae Ishbosheth kah a lu te tah a khuen uh tih Hebron kah Abner phuel aha upuh.
David commanded his young men, and they killed them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbaal, and buried it in the grave of Abner son of Ner.
