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.

Now, David, had passed on but a little from the summit, when lo! Ziba, servant of Mephibosheth, met him, —with a couple of asses saddled, and, upon them, two hundred cakes of bread, and one hundred cakes of raisins, and one hundred summer fruits, and a skin 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 the summer fruits, are for the young men to eat, and, the wine, is for drink to such as are faint in the wilderness.

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.

Then said the king, And where is thy lord’s son? And Ziba said unto the king—Lo! abiding in Jerusalem, for he said, To-day, will the house of Israel, restore unto 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 unto Ziba, Lo! thine, is all that pertained to Mephibosheth. And Ziba said—I have done homage, that I might find favour in thine eyes, 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 had come as far as Bahurim, lo! from thence a man coming out, of the family of the house of Saul, whose name, was Shimei son of Gera, coming out and 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 pelted, with stones, David and all the servants of King David, —all the people, and all the mighty men, being 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, —Out! Out! thou man of bloodshed, and man of the Abandoned One!

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

Yahweh, hath brought back upon thee, all the shed-blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned, and Yahweh hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absolom thy son, —and, here thou art, in thy ruin, for that, a man of bloodshed, thou art.

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, son of Zeruiah, unto the king—Wherefore should this dead dog curse my lord the king? I pray thee, let me cross over 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.

But the king said, What have I in common with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? thus, he curseth, because, Yahweh, hath said unto him—Curse David. Who then can say, Why hast thou done thus?

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.

Then said David unto Abishai, and unto all his servants, Lo! my own son who sprang from my body, is seeking my life, —then how much more, now, a Benjamite? Let him alone, and let him curse, for, Yahweh, hath permitted 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 Yahweh will behold with his eye, —and that Yahweh will return me good, for his cursing 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.

And, when David and his men went along in the way, Shimei, was going along on the side of the hill over against him, cursing as he went, pelting him with stones, and throwing 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 arrived, weary, —and they refreshed themselves there.

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

And, Absolom and all the men of Israel, entered 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, the friend of David, came in unto Absolom, that Hushai said unto Absolom: 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.

Then said Absolom unto Hushai, Is, this, thy lovingkindness unto thy friend? Wherefore 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 Absolom, Nay! but, whom Yahweh, and all this people, and the men of Israel have chosen, his, will I be, and, with him, will I dwell.

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 it not be in presence of his son? as I served in presence of thy father, so, will I continue thy presence.

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

Then said Absolom unto Ahithophel, —Give ye 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 Absolom, Go in unto thy father’s concubines, whom he hath left to keep the house, —so shall all Israel hear that thou hast made thyself odious unto thy father, and the hands of all that are with thee, shall be strengthened.

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.

And they stretched out for Absolom a tent, upon the house-top, —and Absolom 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 had enquired at the oracle of God, —so, was all the counsel of Ahithophel, both to David, and also to Absolom.
