2 Samuel 16

1 Hichun David in molsang ejat hamkhat alep nungin Mephibosheth soh pa Ziban Sangan ni apot poh ding to kikan sa le chanaglhah pheng jani, lengpi theiga boh jakhat, nipi lai theiga jat jakhat, chule lengpi twi savun bom dim set khat toh ana lamton ahi.

And when David was a little past the top, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and a hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.

2 Hichun David lengpan Ziba chu hitin ana dong in, “Ipi dinga thil hi jatpi hi nahin poh hitam?” atileh; Ziban jong adonbut’in, “Sangan teni hi lengpa insung mite touna ding ahin, chule changlhah le nipi lai theiga hi sepai te neh ding ahin; chutengle lengpi twi hi gamthip laiya dangchah a thacholho don ding ahi,” ati.

And the king said unto 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 fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as are faint in the wilderness may drink.'

3 Chuphat’in David lengpan adongpai in, “Napu tupa Mephibosheth chu hoiya ba um hitam?” atia ahileh; Ziban lengpa koma chun hitin asei e, “Vetan, ama chu tuni gei in Jerusalema aum jing nalaiye, chule keiman tunia hi kapupa Saul lenggam chu kale lah ding ahi ati.

And the king said: 'And where is thy master's son?' And Ziba said unto the king: 'Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem; for he said: To-day will the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.'

4 Chuin Ziba koma chun lengpan aseikit’in, “Ven, Mephibosheth thil le nei jouse chu aboncha tua hi nang na chan ding ahitai,” atipeh-e. Chutah chun Ziban jong asei pei jeng in, “Keiman nang kaja bol nahi, nei mu chan in kachunga lung lhai jing jengin, kapu kaleng pa,” ati.

Then said the king to Ziba: 'Behold, thine is all that pertaineth unto Mephibosheth.' And Ziba said: 'I prostrate myself; let me find favour in thy sight, my lord, O king.'

5 Chule David chun Bahurim kho ahin phah phat’in Saul insung mi pasal khat ahung pot doh in, ama chu amin Shimei ahin, Gera chapa ahi; ahung pot doh in alamjot toh gaosap ahinkop in ahi.

And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, there came out thence a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera; he came out, and kept on cursing as he came.

6 Chujongle song alan David ahin, asepai jalamte ahin, chule ajet avei a mihat kigol ho jouse jong chu songin asep tan ahi.

And he 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 Hitichun ami gaosap pum pum in Shimei chun asei in, “Chemang loiyin, chemang loiyin nangma thisan so hat le hindan helou mi nahi tin David henglam a chun asam tan ahi.

And thus said Shimei when he cursed: 'Begone, begone, thou man of blood, and base fellow;

8 Pakaiyin Saul insung mite thisan chu nachunga ahinle lhunsah ahitai. Nangman ama lenggam chu nanaguh ahin, chule tuahi Pakaiyin nachapa Absalom khut a apeh doh ahitai. Nangma thisan sohat nahiyeh a, nathemmo nachu nachung mama chu ahitai ati

the LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son; and, behold, thou art taken in thine own mischief, because thou art a man of blood.'

9 Chuphat’in Zeruiah chapa Abishai chun lengpa koma hitin asei e, “Ipi dinga hiche uithisa hin kapu lengpa hitia agao sap sap jeng ham? Neisol’in lang alol ga tan inge,” atileh;

Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto 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 Lengpan jong aphoh in, “Zeruiah chapate Nangho kon nadoh beh uvem? Pakaiyin ajah a aseipih a keihi gaosap in atileh, nang koi nahija ama chu nakham ding ham ati.

And the king said: 'What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? So let him curse, because the LORD hath said unto him: Curse David; who then shall say: Wherefore hast thou done so?'

11 Chujong le David chun Abishai le asoh te jouse koma hitin asei e, “Vetan, keima chapa mong mong in bon tha dinga eihola ahi leh, hiche Saul sopipa hin iti abolda thei ding ham! Hijeh chun don dau vin lang gao sap sah sah jeng tauvin; ajeh chu Pakaiyin bollin tia asei peh ahi.

And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants: 'Behold, my son, who came forth of my body, seeketh my life; how much more this Benjamite now? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD hath bidden him.

12 Ijem itileh Pakaiyin ka genthei hesoh nahi eivet peh in tin, tunia eiki gaosap najeh a Pakaiyin keima dinga thilpha eibol peh theijoh ding ahi,” ati.

It may be that the LORD will look on mine eye, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing of me this day.'

13 Chuti chun David le amite chu lampia achepeh uvin; Shimei jong chu David chutoh kigal mupeh in thinglhang jui jui'a a che peh in agao sap sap jeng e; chule amaho chun David chu song le lei vui in jong asep’uvin ahi.

So David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hill-side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.

14 Chuin David lengpa le alhonpi mipi hochu abonchauvin athachol lheh taovin hichun Jordan vadung agei un abon uvin akichol un ahi.

And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary; and he refreshed himself there.

15 Chutah chun Absalom le Israel mite jouse jong chu Jerusalem a ahung uvin, Ahithophel kitipa chun Absalom ahin lhon pin ahi.

And Absalom, and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.

16 Chuin David golpa Hushai Arkit mipa chu ahung lhun lhun in Absalom koma achipei in, ‘Hingsot in lengpa, lengpa hingsot in! tin ahin sam tai.

And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom: 'Long live the king, long live the king.'

17 Chutah chun Absalom in jong Hushai koma chun hitin asei e, “Hitia hi na golpa David chu nabol mong ding ham? Etidan a amatoh dingkhom lou nahim? tin adong tai.

And Absalom said to Hushai: 'Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?'

18 Ahin Hushai chun Absalom koma asei kit’in, “Ahipoi, koi koi hijeng jong le Pakai le hiche Israel miten abonchauva alhen doh pen pen chu kei jong ama a chu kahi jeng in, ama chutoh keima kalhat khom jing ding ahibou‘ve ati.

And Hushai said unto Absalom: 'Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I be, and with him will I abide.

19 Chujong le keiman koi dang kin kabol ding ham? Lengpa chapa kin bola kapan teitei ding hilou ham? Keiman napa na kana toh bang bang a tua nangma na jong katoh ding ahi,” ati tai.

And again, whom should I serve? should I not serve in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence.'

20 Hichun Absalom chun Ahithophel adongin, “Nalung gel temin, ipi aban kabol ding hitam?” ati.

Then said Absalom to Ahithophel: 'Give your counsel what we shall do.'

21 Hichun Ahithophel jong chun Absalom asei peh in, “Napan in ngah dinga adalhah athaikem ho koma khun ga lut in lang galup pin; chutileh Israel pum pin nangma hi napa dou mah lamtah a kisa nahi tai, ti hin jadoh-uvintin, chuti le amahon nangma nahin jop soh kei diu ahi,” ati peh e.

And Ahithophel said unto Absalom: 'Go in unto thy father's concubines, that he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel will hear that thou art abhorred of thy father; then will the hands of all that are with thee be strong.'

22 Hichun mihon Absalom dingin inchungah pon buh ason peh’un, chuin Absalom chu Israel mite pumpi mitmu lai tah in apa thaikem ho koma alut jengin aluppi tan ahi.

So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel. —

23 Hiche lai a Ahithophel kitipan mi athumop tapou chu Pathen kamcheng tah a hungsoh banga anagel u ahi hitobang jeh a hi Absalom in Ahithophel thumop chu David in anabol banga anajui ahi.

Now the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man inquired of the word of God; so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
