2 Samuel 1
1 Saul thi jouvin ahitin ahi, David chun Amalek mite chunga galjona aneijou vin ahung kinung len Ziklag munnah nini sung aumden in ahi.
After the death of Saul, David returned from attacking the Amalekites. He stayed in Ziklag for two days.
2 Anithum nin mikhat Saul’s ngahmun a konin von tel dehduh le aluchunga leiset nat pum in lunghem vetsahnan a hungin, David angsungah jana neitah in abohkhup tan ahi.
Then on the third day a man arrived from Saul's camp. His clothes were torn and he had dust on his head. When he approached David, he bowed before him, and fell to the ground in respect.
3 Chuin David in adong in, “hoiya kon hung nahim”? atileh amapan adonbut in, “Israel te ngahmun a kon hung jamdoh kahi” ati.
“Where have you come from?” David asked him. “I got away from the Israelite camp,” he replied.
4 Chuin David in adongin, “Epiti hytam?” “Gal umchan thu neiseipih in” ati, chuin aman adonbut in, “kasepai te jouseu galmun akon ajam gam uvin, mitampin thina atoh un, chule Saul le achapa Jonathan jong athi lhon tai ati.”
“Tell me what happened,” David asked. “The army ran away from the battle,” the man replied. “Many of them died, and Saul and his son Jonathan also died.”
5 Chuin David in Gollhangpa ja ah, “Eti Saul le Jonathan athi taiti nahet ham?” ati.
“How do you know Saul and Jonathan died?” David asked the man giving the report.
6 chuin mipan adonbut in, keima Gilboa molchungah kaga umkhan ahileh, hi ah chun Saul in a tengcha chu anaop phan chuleh agalmite sakol kangtalai holeh sakol them hon ahin delphah kon chao chu ahitai.
“I just happened to be there on Mount Gilboa,” he replied. “I saw Saul, leaning on his spear, with the enemy chariots and the charioteers advancing on him.
7 Chuin ama ahung kiheijin keima eimu phat in amakom adin eikoutai. Chuin keiman kadong ngin, Eti kaki thopi ding ham Katie.
He turned around and saw me. He called out and I replied, ‘I'm here to help!’
8 Hichun aman eidonbut in, nang koi nahim eiti? Chuin keiman kaseipih in, keima Amalek mi kahi Katie.
He asked me, ‘Who are you?’ I told him, ‘I'm an Amalekite.’
9 Hichun ama kahengah ataovin, hung inlang neihung that tan, ajeh chu keiman kanat nahi kathoh jou tapon hijeh chun kathinom tai, ati.
Then he told me, ‘Please come over here and kill me! I'm in terrible agony but life is still hanging on.’
10 “Hijeh chun keiman ama chu kathat tai,” tin Amalek mipa chun David komah aseitai, ajeh chu keiman kahet ahitai ama ahinjou tah lou ding chu. Hiti chun a Lallukhuh leh abanbul tom naho kahin lan nakom ah kahin lhut e ka Pakai, ati.
So I went over him and killed him, because I knew that wounded as he was he couldn't last long. I took the crown from his head and his bracelet from his arm, and I've brought them here to you, my lord.”
11 Hitabong thusoh chu David leh amiten ajah doh phat un apon u abot eh un alung genthei lheh taovin ahi.
David grabbed hold of his clothes and ripped them, as did his men.
12 Hitichun amahon sun nilhum in Saul chule achapa Jonathan ding, Pakai sepai holeh Israel nam mite adin an angolun, akap un, pul adou un alunghem un ahi, ajeh chu hiche nikho a hi amaho chemjam a thisoh ahiuve.
They mourned and cried and fasted until the evening for Saul and his son Jonathan, and for the army of the Lord, the Israelites, that had been killed by the sword.
13 Hichun David in thu hinpo gollhang pa komah chun aseitan, “hoiya kon hung nahim ati?” chuin aman adonbut in, keima gamdang, jatdang Amalek mi, nagam uva khosa kahi, ati.
David asked man who brought him the report, “Where are you from?” “I'm the son of a foreigner,” he replied “I'm an Amalekite.”
14 Chuin David in adongin, “Epi tidan a nangman Pakai thaonu mikhat chu thading kichat na nanei lou hel ham? Atie.
“Why weren't you worried about killing the Lord's anointed one?” David asked.
15 Chuin David in amiho khat pen komah chun asei in, “that in!” ati, hichun mipan Amalek mipa chu achemjam in adot in athat tan ahi.
David called over one of his men and said, “Go ahead, kill him!” So the man cut the Amalekite down and killed him.
16 Chujou vin David in aseiyin, “Nang le nang themmo kichan nahi,” “ajeh chu nangman nakam tah a Pakai thaonu pachu kathat tai nati.”
David had told the Amalekite, “Your death is your own fault because you testified against yourself when you said, ‘I killed the Lord's anointed one.’”
17 Hitichun David in Saul le Jonathan din ka-la asemin,
Then David sang this lament for Saul and his son Jonathan.
18 Chuleh hichehi Judah te jong hilding ahitin thupeh anei in ahi. hiche la hi thalpi la tin akihen chuleh hichehi Jashar te lekhabu a kijih lut ahi.
He ordered it to be taught to the people of Judah. It is called “the Bow” and is recorded in the Book of the Just:
19 Vo Israel naloupi nao le nakipa nao chu molsang chungah akithat tai! I ati leh galhang mihat hochu lhugam u hitam!
“Israel, the glorious one lies dead on your mountains. How the mighty have fallen!
20 Gath muna athu hohi seidoh hih un, Ashkelon lamlen dungah jong phongdoh hih un, achuti louva ahileh Philistines Chanute kipah untin, chule cheptan louho jong galjou bangnga nuidiu ahi.
Don't announce it in the town of Gath, don't proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon, so that the Philistine women won't rejoice, so that the heathen women won't celebrate.
21 O nang Gilboa molsang, nachungah daitwi lhah da hen lang, gojong juhda hen, chule loujao va lou hon jong amuchiga hinsepdoh dahen. Ajeh chu mihatpa lumdal chu suhboh in aum tan; Saul lumdal chu thaotwi nulouva um ahitai.
Mountains of Gilboa, may no dew or rain fall on you! May you have no fields that produce offerings of grain. For it was there that the shield of the mighty was defiled; Saul's shield, no longer cared for with olive oil.
22 Jonathan kineosah chu nasatah ahin, chule Saul chemjam chun na loupi tah atongdoh in ahi. amahon agalmiteu thisan asou vin chule galhat, mi hangsan ho tahsa asun in ahi.
Jonathan with his bow did not retreat from attacking the enemy; Saul with his sword did not return empty-handed from shedding blood.
23 Iti ngailut le lungset um hitam Saul le Jonathan hi! Ahinlai sung lhon leh athigei lhon in aumkhom jing lhon in ahi. amanihi Muvanlai sanga gang joleh keipi bahkai sanga jong hatjo ahilhon in ahi.
During their lives, Saul and Jonathan were much loved and very pleasant, and death did not divide them. They were faster than eagles, stronger than lions.
24 Vo Israel Chanute, Saul a dingin kap un, ajeh chu amahi ponsanthip deium mantamtah a nachun pao le sana a najem pao chu ahi.
Women of Israel, mourn for Saul, who gave you fine scarlet clothes decorated with gold ornaments.
25 Iti galhat miho galmuna lhugam u hitam! munsang chungah Jonathan jong athisan akijam tai.
How the mighty have fallen in battle! Jonathan lies dead on your mountains.
26 Jonathan kasopipa, nangjeh in kakap kap jeng e! ichan a kangailut nahi hitam! chule nangman neingailut nahi athuh lheh in, numei ngailut nasangin athuh jon ahi!
I weep so much for you, my brother Jonathan! You were so very dear to me! Your love for me was so wonderful, greater than the love women have!
27 Iti mihat ho lhugam a! galmanchah ho mangsoh a, amaho athia kijam chap jeng hitam? ati.
How the mighty have fallen! The weapons of war are gone!”
