2 Samuel 19

1 Joab koma chun, “Lengpa David chun Absalom pul adou lel in akap kap jeng tai,” tithu agalhung tan ahi.

And it is declared to Joab, 'Lo, the king is weeping and mourning for Absalom;'

2 Hijeh chun hiche nikhoa gal kijo chu mipi abonchauva din pul douna a sohdoh jo tan ahi; ijeh-inem itileh hiche nikho hin mipin abonchan ajauvin, “Lengpan achapa thi pul adou lel lheh jenge,” akititai.

and the salvation on that day becometh mourning to all the people, for the people hath heard on that day, saying, 'The king hath been grieved for his son.'

3 Sepaite jong chu hiche nikho hin guhthim chan khopi sunga ahung kijot lut’uvin, gal alel niuva jachat thoh'a hung vah lut bangin ahung lut tauve.

And the people stealeth away, on that day, to go in to the city, as the people steal away, who are ashamed, in their fleeing in battle;

4 Hichun lengpan amai akhut in akikhun, othongje jun lengpa akap jah jengin, “Vo Absalom, kachapa!” atin asam sam jeng’e.

and the king hath covered his face, yea, the king crieth — a loud voice — 'My son Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son.'

5 Hichun Joab jong lengpa insunga ahung lut’in hitin aseitei, “Tuni hin nangman na sepaite jouse hinkho ahin, nangma hinkho ahin, nachate numei le pasal jouse hinkho jong chule najite leh nathaikem ho hinkho huhhing'a pang jouse mai najum sah tai ati.

And Joab cometh in unto the king to the house, and saith, 'Thou hast put to shame to-day the faces of all thy servants, those delivering thy life to-day, and the life of thy sons, and of thy daughters, and the life of thy wives, and the life of thy concubines,

6 Ipijeh-inem itileh nangman nahot bolte nalungset jon, nalungset te joh nahot boljo tai. Ajeh chu tunin nangman kichen tah in naseidoh tan, gal lamkaiho leh sepaite hi nang dinga imacha louva pang danin nabol tan ahi. Ijeh-inem itileh tuni hin Absalom chu kihing hoi hen lang keiho hi kabonchauvin thigam jengu leng nangma nalung lhaijo ding ahi.

to love thine enemies, and to hate those loving thee, for thou hast declared to-day that thou hast no princes and servants, for I have known to-day that if Absalom [were] alive, and all of us to-day dead, that then it were right in thine eyes.

7 Hijeh chun tun kipatdoh in lang pot doh pai pai jengin lang nasohte koma thu ngeitah tah in hung sei loiyin; ijeh-inem itileh Pakai mina kihahsel kahi, nangma nahung potdoh louva ahileh tujan jenga jong hi mihem khat’a khat chan jong nagepi louhel ding ahitai; chuti hen lang hileh, nachapa gollhangpa a kona nachunga hung lhung thilse hijat sanga jong hiche thilsoh ding hi khohjo ding ahi,” ati.

'And now, rise, go out and speak unto the heart of thy servants, for by Jehovah I have sworn, that — thou art not going out — there doth not lodge a man with thee to-night; and this [is] worse for thee than all the evil that hath come upon thee from thy youth till now.'

8 Chuphat’in lengpa jong akipat doh jengin kelkot phunga atouna a chun atoutai. Hichun mipi abonchauva jah dingin aseipeh tai, “Vetan, lengpa khu kelkot phungbula atou tai,” atiuva ahileh; chuphat’in mipi ho chu abomnchauvin lengpa angsunga ahung kitol lutsoh tauve, Israel chate Absalom nungjui ho vang chu ama ama inlam cheh a ajam lut soh tauve.

And the king riseth, and sitteth in the gate, and to all the people they have declared, saying, 'Lo, the king is sitting in the gate;' and all the people come in before the king, and Israel hath fled, each to his tents.

9 Israel phung chujat lah a chun mipi abonchan aboilah lah jenguvin, hitin aseiyuve, “Lengpa David chun imelmateu khut’a kona jong inahuhhingu uva chule Philistines te khut akon a jong eina sochat sah u ahin, hinlah Absalom agin jeh a gamsunga kona jamdoh ahitai atiuve.

And it cometh to pass, all the people are contending through all the tribes of Israel, saying, 'The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, yea, he himself delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines, and now he hath fled out of the land because of Absalom,

10 Chule tua ichunguva leng chang dinga thao inupau Absalom la galmu nin athitan. Chuti ahileh ibola David chu ileng diuva elekoukit dadiu ham? akitiuve.

and Absalom whom we anointed over us [is] dead in battle, and now, why are ye silent — to bring back the king?'

11 Hichun David lengpan jong thempu te ni Zadok le Abiathar koma thu athot’in hitin aseiye, “Judah mi upate koma seipeh lhon in lang, ‘Lengpa koma Israel dang jouse thu hung lhungsoh ta, ipi dinga nang ho hi lengpa in'a puilut kit ding thuseiya anukhahpen a pang naiuvem?

And king David sent unto Zadok and unto Abiathar the priests, saying, 'Speak ye unto the elders of Judah, saying, Why are ye last to bring back the king unto his house? (and the word of all Israel hath come unto the king, unto his house; )

12 Nangho hi keima inkote mong mong, kaphe le kathisan nahiuve; ahileh ipi dinga nang ho lengpa puiding thusei nukhah a napan diu ham?’ ati tilhon'in.

my brethren ye [are], my bone and my flesh ye [are], and why are ye last to bring back the king?

13 Chujong leh Amasa kitipa koma jong nasei peh lhon ding, ‘Nang hi keima thisan le phe mong nahi lou ham? Tua lhah nang hi Joab panmun khela sepaite lamkaiya napan lou poupouva ahileh Pathenin abolnom nomin eibol hen, akhoh cheh jon jong eibol hen, kapan sah ding nahi,’ tin a seiye, nati lhon ding ahi,” ati.

And to Amasa say ye, Art not thou my bone and my flesh? Thus doth God do to me, and thus He doth add, if thou art not head of the host before me all the days instead of Joab.'

14 Hichun Amasa chun Judah mite chu mihem khat sheh abahsah jengin alungu kitoh del’in, athu nun’in, hijeh chun amahon thu ahin thot paiyun, lengpa henga chun, “Nang le nasepaite nabonchauvin hung kile kit jeng uvin,” atiuvin ahi.

And he inclineth the heart of all the men of Judah as one man, and they send unto the king, 'Turn back, thou, and all thy servants.'

15 Hijeh chun lengpa jong Jerusalem ahung kile kit tan ahi. chule Jordan vadung ahung lhung tan ahile Judah jong chu lengpa lamtoa Jordan vadunga apui galkai din ahungun Gilgal ahung lhung taove.

And the king turneth back, and cometh in unto the Jordan, and Judah hath come to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring the king over the Jordan,

16 Gera chapa Shimei kitipa Benjamin phunga mipajong chu Bahurim khoa pat’in David lengpa lamto din kino tah in Judah mite chutoh ahung kilhon suh tai.

and Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite, who [is] from Bahurim, hasteth, and cometh down with the men of Judah, to meet king David,

17 Chule midang Benjamin phunga kon misangkhat, Saul insunga dia sepai jalamkai Ziba jaonan, chule Ziba chapate somlenga le asoh somni toh ahung thaovin Jordan vadung a lengpa kimupi din ahung lhailhao vin ahi.

and a thousand men [are] with him from Benjamin, and Ziba servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him, and they have gone prosperously over the Jordan before the king.

18 Hitichun lengpa leh a ingsungmite chutoh Jordan vadung ahung galkai un, kithopi nathei chan in ejakai in amachu akitho piu vin ahi. Shimei dinga David khutona lengpan Jordan vadung ahin galkai ding toh lhonin, Shimei chu ama angsungah abohkhup in ahi.

And passed over hath the ferry-boat to carry over the household of the king, and to do that which [is] good in his eyes, and Shimei son of Gera hath fallen before the king in his passing over into Jordan,

19 Shimei chu ataovin, “kapakai lengpa, lungset tah in neingaidam in,” nangman Jerusalem nadalhah a nalhachan thil phalou tah tah kabol hochu heimil inlang nalungsungah jong umsah datan ati.

and saith unto the king, 'Let not my lord impute to me iniquity; neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely in the day that my lord the king went out from Jerusalem, — for the king to set [it] unto his heart;

20 keiman kahei echan a chonse kahi hitam. Hijeh achu tunia hilai mun hung kahi, Israel te jouse lah a dinga kapakai lengpa lamto masapen a.

for thy servant hath known that I have sinned; and lo, I have come to-day, first of all the house of Joseph, to go down to meet my lord the king.'

21 Chuin Zeruiah chapa Abishai in asei in, Shimei hi thading ahi, ajeh chu aman leng thao kinupa hi agaosap ahi.

And Abishai son of Zeruiah answereth and saith, 'For this is not Shimei put to death — because he reviled the anointed of Jehovah?'

22 Hichun David in ahinsei in, Zeruiah chapa kon nang nadoh beh ham ati. Epi dinga tonia nangma keima melma a pang gu nahim? Tonihi achaini ahipoi, ajeh chu tonia hi keima Avella Israel te leng kahikit ahitai ati.

And David saith, 'What — to me and to you, O sons of Zeruiah, that ye are to me to-day for an adversary? to-day is any man put to death in Israel? for have I not known that to-day I [am] king over Israel?'

23 Hichun Shimei lamma akihei in, David akihahsellin, nahinkho hi kahing hoi ding ahi ati.

And the king saith unto Shimei, 'Thou dost not die;' and the king sweareth to him.

24 Chuin Saul tupa Mephibosheth chu Jerusalem ahunsuh in lengpa ahung kimupin ahi. lengpan Jerusalem adalhah nikho apet chun akeng, akhamul chule avon sop ding emacha akhoh sah tapon ahi.

And Mephibosheth son of Saul hath come down to meet the king — and he prepared not his feet, nor did he prepare his upper lip, yea, his garments he washed not, even from the day of the going away of the king, till the day that he came in peace —

25 Chuin lengpan adonbut in, Mephibosheth epi dinga keima toh nahung khom lou ham? ati.

and it cometh to pass, when he hath come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king saith to him, 'Why didst thou not go with me, Mephibosheth?'

26 Hichun Mephibosheth in adonbut in, kapakai kalengpa kasohpa Ziba in eijou lhep in ahi. keiman kaseipih in, ka sangan chu gongtoh in khuti leh lengpa toh kachi khom thei ding ahi kati ajeh chu nangman neihet banga keima hi elbai kahi.

And he saith, 'My lord, O king, my servant deceived me, for thy servant said, I saddle for me the ass, and ride on it, and go with the king, for thy servant [is] lame;

27 keima kahungnom lou dan in Ziba in asei in eijoulhep e. ahin keiman kahe nai kapakai kalengpa hi Pathen vantil tabang nahin, hijeh chun nangman nagel a aphai nati ti chun bol tan ati.

and he uttereth slander against thy servant unto my lord the king, and my lord the king [is] as a messenger of God; and do thou that which is good in thine eyes,

28 Chule keima le kainsung mite jouse hi athi dinga lom kahi bou ve ka pakai, hinlah hichu hilou vin nangman neijabol in nadokhangah an neineh khompi e! hiche kalvar a chu epi kathum nahlai ding ham?

for all the house of my father have been nothing except men of death before my lord the king, and thou dost set thy servant among those eating at thy table, and what right have I any more — even to cry any more unto the king?'

29 Nangman aphatai nati, chuin David in adonbut in, nangma le Ziba hi nagam sung chu kitoh chat a nakihop lhon ding in kagel lhatai.

And the king saith to him, 'Why dost thou speak any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba — share ye the field.'

30 Chuin Mephibosheth in aseiyin, amachan ding jouse chu petan ati. Nangma damsella nahung kile kit hi keidin aphaset tai kapakai le kalengpa ati.

And Mephibosheth saith unto the king, 'Yea, the whole let him take, after that my lord the king hath come in peace unto his house.'

31 Gilead mi Barzillai chu Rogelim akon ahungsuh in Jordan vadungah lengpa chu ahung kimupin ahi.

And Barzillai the Gileadite hath gone down from Rogelim, and passeth over the Jordan with the king, to send him away over the Jordan;

32 Amahi akum ahan tan midam thei tah kum somget ahi tan ahi. chule amahi ahi lengpa Mahanaim aumlai a nehding pipa chu.

and Barzillai [is] very aged, a son of eighty years, and he hath sustained the king in his abiding in Mahanaim, for he [is] a very great man;

33 Chuin lengpan Barzillai kommah asei in hung inlang keitoh Jerusalem ah hung cheng tan. keiman hilaimun ah chu nangma kavetsui ding nahi ati.

and the king saith unto Barzillai, 'Pass thou over with me, and I have sustained thee with me in Jerusalem.'

34 Hichun Barzillai in ahin donbut in, ahipoi keima Jerusalem chan hung ding in kateh var tai ati.

And Barzillai saith unto the king, 'How many [are] the days of the years of my life, that I go up with the king to Jerusalem?

35 Tun keima kum somget kahitan, chule keiman emacha kanupsah pithei aumtapoi. Ju le an jeng jong atui tapon, chule lasa them ho lasah jong kangai nom tapoi. Keimahi kapakai lengpa dia alungkham nabep kahi ding ahitai.

A son of eighty years I [am] to-day; do I know between good and evil? doth thy servant taste that which I am eating, and that which I drink? do I hearken any more to the voice of singers and songstresses? and why is thy servant any more for a burden unto my lord the king?

36 lengpa toh Jordan lui galkai ding bou chu kangaichat thupi pen ahijoi.

As a little thing, thy servant doth pass over the Jordan with the king, and why doth the king recompense me this recompense?

37 Chuteng le keima athidia kanu le kapa kivuina gamsunga kakinung le ding ahi. ahin hichehi nasohpa Kimham kachapa ahi. amahi kapakai kalengpa toh kilhon henlang chule nangman napeh nom chan chu aman kisan hen, ati.

Let, I pray thee, thy servant turn back again, and I die in mine own city, near the burying-place of my father and of my mother, — and lo, thy servant Chimham, let him pass over with my lord the king, and do thou to him that which [is] good in thine eyes.'

38 Chuin lengpa jong anom tan aphai, Kimham toh kachikhom ding chule aman adei nalam chan a kakithopi ding chule adei angai chan kabolpih ding ahi ati.

And the king saith, 'With me doth Chimham go over, and I do to him that which [is] good in thine eyes, yea, all that thou dost fix on me I do to thee.'

39 Hiti chun mipi jouse chun lengpa toh Jordan chu agalkai tao vin ahi. chuin David in Barzillai chu phatthei aboh a achop jou vin, Barzillai chu a inlam akile kit tan ahi.

And all the people pass over the Jordan, and the king hath passed over, and the king giveth a kiss to Barzillai, and blesseth him, and he turneth back to his place.

40 Chuin lengpan Kimham alhonpin Gilgal akhokel tan ahi. Judah sepai jouse le Israel seapi kehkhat in lampi ah analam touvin ahi.

And the king passeth over to Gilgal, and Chimham hath passed over with him, and all the people of Judah, and they bring over the king, and also the half of the people of Israel.

41 Ahin Israel mite jouse chu lengpa chungah akiphin taovin, Judah miten lengpa chu natom chahkheh un keihon nang nahin namite ahin Jordan nahung galkai nadiu vin kithopi nading phat eipipouve atiu vin ahi.

And, lo, all the men of Israel are coming unto the king, and they say unto the king, 'Wherefore have they stolen thee — our brethren, the men of Judah?' (and they bring the king and his household over the Jordan, and all the men of David with him).

42 CHuin Judah miten adonbut un, lengpa hi keiho son chilhah mong ahi. epi dinga hichehin nasuh lunghang uham? Keihon lengpa akon neh ding ahilou leh thilphachom ema kakisan pouve atiu vin ahi.

And all the men of Judah answer against the men of Israel, 'Because the king [is] near unto us, and why [is] this — ye are displeased about this matter? have we at all eaten of the king's [substance?] a gift hath he lifted up to us?'

43 Ahin adanghon ahin donbut un Israel sungah phung soma um nalai e atiuve. Hijeh chun keihon lengpa chungah somvei jen nangho bol bangin thaneina kanei uve ati.

Kinel nachu anung ama ah achijom jing in chule Juda mite chu Israel mite sangin aham ngaimo lheh un ahi.

And the men of Israel answer the men of Judah, and say, 'Ten parts we have in the king, and also in David more than you; and wherefore have ye lightly esteemed us, that our word hath not been first to bring back our king?' And the word of the men of Judah is sharper than the word of the men of Israel.
