2 Samuel 20

1 Hiche phatlai hin pan nabei mikhat ana um'in amapa chu amin Sheba akiti, ama hi apa min Bicri ahin, Benjamin phunga mi ahiye; Chule Sheba kitipa hin saki pengkul amut gingin lhang asamin aseitai, “David koma eihon chan ding inei pouvin, Jesse chapa koma goulo ding inei pouve’ Vo Israel mite, nangma nangma ponbuh kijot cheh tauvin,” ati.

And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Seba, the son of Bochri, a man of Jemini: and he sounded the trumpet, and said: We have no part in David, nor inheritance in the son of Isai: return to thy dwellings, O Israel.

2 Hichejeh chun Israel miten abonchauvin David adalha soh hel tauvin, Bicri chapa Sheba nung ajui cheh tauve; ahivangin Judah miten alengpao chu lunglut tah in Jordan vadunga pat Jerusalem geiyin ajui lut peh tauvin ahi.

And all Israel departed from David, and followed Seba the son of Bochri: but the men of Juda stuck to their king from the Jordan unto Jerusalem.

3 David chu Jerusalema ahung in ain ahung lhungtai, chuin lengpan in ngah dinga adalhah thaikem numei som ho chu abonchan aman khom soh keiyin in khat a akoikhom in, chule hiche in chu mi angah ding sepai akoiyin, neh le chah vang apenan, amaho hi avil tapon, aluppi tapoi. Hijeh chun amaho hi athi ni geiyuvin cha hing louvin aumsohkeiyun, meithai bangin aumsoh keitauve.

And when the king was come into his house at Jerusalem, he took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, allowing them provisions: and he went not in unto them, but they were shut up unto the day of their death living in widowhood.

4 Hichun lengpan Amasa koma aseipeh in, “Nithum sungin Judah phunga mite abonchan kou khom soh keiyin lang, nangma tah jeng jong hikoma hin hung kikhomuvin,” ati.

And the king said to Amasa: Assemble to me all the men of Juda against the third day, and be thou here present.

5 Hijeh chun Amasa jong Judah mite kou dingin akondoh tai; Ahinla ama dinga aphat kitep peh sangnga tamjo ahin la tan ahi.

So Amasa went to assemble the men of Juda, but he tarried beyond the set time which the king had appointed him.

6 Chuphat’in David chun Abishai koma chun aseiyin, “Tua hi Sheba kitipa Bicri chapa khun Absalomin eibol nau sanga khohjoa eibol diu ahi; nangman napu lhacha sepaite khu kipuiyin lang anung delpeh in lang, gamantan achuti louva ahileh ama in kulpi kikaikhum khopi phabep akisah doh a eiho eisuh genthei diu ahi,” ati.

And David said to Abisai: Now will Seba the son of Bochri do us more harm than did Absalom: take thou therefore the servants of thy lord, and pursue after him, lest he find fenced cities, and escape us.

7 Abishai nung juiyin Joab jong Chereth mite jong, Peleth miho jong, chule mihat jouse jong abonchan akitol soh keiyuvin ahi. Chule amaho hi Jerusalem khopia konin Bicri chapa Sheba nung del dingin akondoh tauve.

So Joab’s men went out with him, and the Cerethi and the Phelethi: and all the valiant men went out of Jerusalem to pursue after Seba the son of Bochri.

8 Amaho hi Gibeon khopia songpi lentah phung ahung geiyuvin Amasa jong amaho lamto dingin ahung tai. Hichun Joab hi sepai vonin akivonin, chule akongjanga chun konggah khat hin chemjam apaiyin akipoh in ahi; amasang lam’uva Amasa chibei bol din achepheiyin, hichun ahung kibalhun achemjam chu ahungkithol doh paitan ahi.

And when they were at the great stone which is in Gabaon, Amasa coming met them. And Joab had on a close coat of equal length with his habit, and over it was girded with a sword hanging down to his flank, in a scabbard, made in such manner as to come out with the least motion and strike.

9 Hichun Joab hin Amasa koma hitin aseiye, “Sopi nadam dam hinam? tin adongin, hiti chun Joab hin Amasa chu akhut jetlam in amanin abengmul chun atuh chah jenge abeng achop ding bangin.

And Joab said to Amasa: God save thee, my brother. And he took Amasa by the chin with his right hand to kiss him.

10 Hichea hi Amasa hin Joab in akhut veilam a chemjam akidop lam chu anahet lou ahiye; hiti hin Joab chun Amasa chua oipoh asutpih in; hichun avela sat kit louhel’in khatvei she she chun ama jong athidel jengin ahi. Chujouvin Joab le asopipa Abishai chun Bicri chapa Sheba nung chu adel pai pai tauve.

But Amasa did not take notice of the sword, which Joab had, and he struck him in the side, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and gave him not a second wound, and he died. And Joab, and Abisai his brother pursued after Seba the son of Bochri.

11 Chule Joab sepaite lah a mi khat chu Amasa long phunga aga dingin hitin aseiye, “Koi koi hijongle Joab panpia David dinga pang jouse chun Joab nung jui cheh hen,” ati.

In the mean time some men of Joab’s company stopping at the dead body of Amasa, said: Behold he that would have been in Joab’s stead the companion of David.

12 Hichun Amasa vang chu lamlen kim laitah a athisan lah a akisai saiyin alumden tai. Lampia hung mi jouse chun amudoh tengule ading cheh jiuvin, hijeh chun alongkom a dingpa chun miho jouse agahdin ji jeh u chun Amasa long chu akaimangin gamlah a apolut in pon akhu khumtan ahi.

And Amasa imbrued with blood, lay in the midst of the way. A certain man saw this that all the people stood still to look upon him, so he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and covered him with a garment, that they who passed might not stop on his account.

13 Chuin Amasa chu lamlen lailunga kona akai mang phat chun mipi sepai jouse jong chu Joab nung juiya Bicri chapa Sheba nung del dingin ache pai pai jeng tauve.

And when he was removed out of the way, all the people went on following Joab to pursue after Seba the son of Bochri.

14 Sheba hin Israel mite phung tin anakhol soh keiyin, Bethema’acah gam'a Abel chan gei anajot man in ahi; hijeh chun Bicri mite jouse akikhom’uvin ama nung ajui soh hel tauve.

Now he had passed through all the tribes of Israel unto Abela and Bethmaacha: and all the chosen men were gathered together unto him.

15 Hichun Joab to pang khom mite chu abonchan ahunguvin Bethma’acah gam'a Abel khoa chun Sheba aga’um tauve. Khopi um nan pal akaiyuvin, chule khopi pal chutoh kingat ton leipal chu akikhang doh jenge; Chuin amahon khopi pal chu phetjal dingin agouvin avojal pantauve.

And they came, and besieged him in Abela, and in Bethmaacha, and they cast up works round the city, and the city was besieged: and all the people that were with Joab, laboured to throw down the walls.

16 Hichun khopi sung langa konin numei miching tah khat hinmi ahinkouvin, “Ngaiyuvin, ngaiyuvin, keiman Joab chu kaki houpithei na dingin hinsei peh’uvin lang hilai muna hin hung hen, ati hintiuvin,” ahinti.

And a wise woman cried out from the city: Hear, hear, and say to Joab: Come near hither, and I will speak with thee.

17 Hiphat chun Joab jong chu amanu koma chun ahungin ahileh, numeinu chun hitin aseipeh tai, “Nangma Jo’b nahim? atia ahileh aman jong adonbutin, “Ka hinai,” ati. Hichun numeinu jong chun Joab koma chun asei kit’in, “Nasohnu keima thusei ding hohi ngai temin,” atia ahileh; Joab in jong adonbut’in, “Kangai peh nai,” ati.

And when he was come near to her, she said to him: Art thou Joab? And he answered: I am. And she spoke thus to him: Hear the words of thy handmaid. He answered: I do hear.

18 Hichun numei nun jong aseitai, Masanga gol lui laiyin tehse hon hitin ana sei uve, Abel khoa mi bou kidong ding ahi,’ tin aseiyiuve; hiti hin ipi thu hijong leh ana seichai jiuve.

And she again said: A saying was used in the old proverb: They that inquire, let them inquire in Abela: and so they made an end.

19 Hitia chu keima jong hi Israel mite lah a cham na bol ji le kitah taha hinkho mangmi khat chu kahi; hijeh chun tun nangman Israel chate din penna khopikhat hi thagamdingin nahol’e; ibola nangman Pakai goulo athilkeo hi hitia hi suh mang jeng ding nati ham?” ati.

Am not I she that answer truth in Israel, and thou seekest to destroy the city, and to overthrow a mother in Israel? Why wilt thou throw down the inheritance of the Lord?

20 Hichun Joab jong chun adonbut’in, “Keiman itih hijong leh khopi kasuh mang louhel ding ahi ai!

And Joab answering said: God forbid, God forbid that I should, I do not throw down, nor destroy.

21 Nasei chu adih poi, ahin Ephraim gam'a thinglhang mi Bicri kitipa chapa khat amin Sheba kitipa chun David lengpa dou nan akhut alamtai; ama chu hinpe doh jenguvin, chutileh keima khopia kona hi kaki nungle jeng ding ahi,” ati. Chuphat’in numeinu jong chun adonbut paiyin, Joab koma chun aseitai, “Vetan, naseipa chu palvuma aluchang tansa hung kileh lha ding nakoma hung chu ding ahi,” atipeh-e.

The matter is not so, but a man of mount Ephraim, Seba the son of Bochri by name, hath lifted up his hand against king David: deliver him only, and we will depart from the city. And the woman said to Joab: Behold his head shall be thrown to thee from the wall.

22 Numeinu chu alungthima achihna bang dungjuiyin khopi sunga anung chen mipi jouse koma chun hitin aga seitai. Chuin mihon Bicri chapa Sheba chu alu atanuvin, Joab koma chun agasep lut tauve. Chuphat in Joab chun saki pengkul chu amut paiyin, khopia kon chun akikhen cheh soh keiyun, mi jouse chu ama ama in cheh a ache tauve. Joab vang chu Jerusalema lengpa koma dingin ahung kile kit tai.

So she went to all the people, and spoke to them wisely: and they cut off the head of Seba the son of Bochri, and cast it out to Joab. And he sounded the trumpet, and they departed from the city, every one to their home: and Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.

23 Hichun Joab kitipa hi Israel chate pumpi dinga gal lamkai lenpen chule sepai jouse chunga vaipo ahin, Jehoiada chapa Benaiah chu Chereth mite leh Peleth mite sepai ho lamkai vaipon apangin;

So Joab was over all the army of Israel: and Banaias the son of Joiada was over the Cerethites and Phelethites,

24 Chule Adoniram kitipa chu engbol a um soh natonga pangho chunga chun vaihom in apangin, Ahilud chapa Jehoshaphat kitipa chu thuching lekha koiyin apangin,

But Aduram over the tributes: and Josaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder.

25 Sheva chu lekha sun in apangin, Zedok le Abiathar chu thempun apang lhonin,

And Siva was scribe: and Sadoc and Abiathar, priests.

26 Chule Jair mi Ira vang chu David din thempun anapang tan ahi.

And Ira the Jairite was the priest of David.
