2 Samuel 4
1 Chuin Saul’s chapa Ishbosheth in Hebron munna Abner’s athi chung chang ajah chun ahansan najouse abei tan chule Israel pumpi jong kichat nan adim taovin ahi.
When Ishbosheth, son of Saul, heard that Abner had died in Hebron, he was very discouraged, and everyone in Israel was shocked.
2 Tun Ishbosheth’s in sepai galamkai Rimmon chateni Baanah le Recab chu anei in, amani chu Benjamin phungmi Beeroth a cheng ahilhon ne. chule tun Beeroth khopi chu Benjamin’s te gamsung ahitan ahi.
Ishbosheth had two commanders of his raiding bands, brothers by the name of Baanah and Rechab. They were the sons of Rimmon of the tribe of Benjamin from the town of Beeroth. Beeroth is considered part of the territory of Benjamin,
3 Ajeh chu Beeroth mimong mong hochu Gittaim ah anajam lutnun, tunigeijin khopem mi bong ngin aching taove.
because the people who had lived in Beeroth before ran away to Gittaim and lived there as foreigners right up to the present.
4 (Chuin Saul’s chapa Jonathan in chapa khat anei in amin Mephibosheth akitie, chule amahi aneova pet elbai ahi. Jezreel akonna Saul le Jonathan gal munnah atitai tithu ahung chun ama kum nga bou ahinalai in ahi. hitabong thusoh chapangpa jenlenun ajah doh phat in ama chu aman in ajampi tan ahi. hinlah amanu akinovar jeh in chapangpa chu akheh shah tan ahileh amachu akeng ahung bai tan ahi).
Jonathan, son of Saul, had a son lame in both feet. He was five years old when the news about the deaths of Saul and Jonathan had come from Jezreel. His nurse had picked him up and ran away, but as she rushed to get away, he fell and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.
5 Nikhat chu Beeroth akon Rimmon chapateni Recab le Baanath chu Ishbosheth’s in'ah sun in agachi lhon in ahileh amapa chun sun kichol anabol in ahi.
Rechab and Baanah, sons of Rimmon from Beeroth, went to Ishbosheth's house, arriving in the heat of the day as the king was taking his midday rest.
6 Chuin kotngah a pangnun, chang anasep in ahileh aimut sophat in ana emulhatan ahi. hijeh chun Recab le Baanah jong chun amanu chu akalchuh lhonin achipei lhon tai.
The woman doorkeeper had been cleaning wheat, but she had grown tired and fallen asleep, so Rechab and Baanah were able to slip inside.
7 Insung alut lhonin ahileh Ishbosheth alupna chunga analup amulhon tan ahi. hichun anailut lhonin avolih lhonin alol atanpih lhon tan ahi. chujou vin alu akichoi lhonin Jordan phaicham geijin jankhovah hellin ajam lhon tan ahi.
They had gone into the house while Ishbosheth was asleep on his bed in his bedroom. After stabbing and killing him, they cut off his head which they took with them, and they traveled all night by the Jordan Valley road.
8 Chuin Hebron alhun lhonin Ishbosheth’s lu chu David api lhon tan ahi. chuin lengpa hengah apeng jah jeng lhonin, “ven!” hichehi nagalmi nangma that dia kigo Saul chapa Ishbosheth luchang ahi. tunin Pathenin ka pakai lengpa dingin Saul le a insungmite chungah phu alatan ahi.
They took the head of Ishbosheth to David in Hebron. They told the king, “Here is the head of Ishbosheth, son of Saul, your enemy who tried to kill you. Today the Lord has taken revenge on Saul and his family for my lord the king.”
9 Ahin David in Recab le Baanah jaah hitin aseiyin, ka Pathen, kagalmite jouse a kon eihuhdoh pa minna kasei ahi.
But David answered Rechab and his brother Baanah, sons of Rimmon from Beeroth, “As the Lord lives, who has saved me from all my troubles,
10 Khatvei mikhat in Saul athitai tin kakommah ahung seiye, amapachun keimadia thupha hinpo dan a kigel hite. Hinlah keiman ama chu kapui in Ziklag munnah kagathat tan ahi. hichu amadia ahin thupoh man a kapeh ahi.
when someone told me, ‘Look, Saul is dead’ and he thought he was bringing me good news, I grabbed him and had him put him to death at Ziklag. That was what he got for bringing me his news!
11 Akhuti leh keiman kho hepha louva ainsunga alupna a lumpa that migilou hochu echangeija kipaman kapih ding hitam? keiman ama thisan phuhi kalah da a leiset chunga jong kasuh mang da lhon ding ham? ati.
Even more so then, when evil men kill a good man in his own house, and in his own bed, shouldn't I demand you pay for his life with your own lives, and exterminate you!”
12 Chuin David in amani that din agollhang hochu thupeh anei in, chule amahon jong abol taovin ahi. chuin amahon akhut, akeng atenpih un atahsa chu Hebron twikul kommah akhai taovin ahi. chujou vin Ishbosheth’s lubuh chu achoi un Hebron muna Abner’s lhan ah chun avui tao vin ahi.
David gave the order to his men, and they killed Rechab and Baanah. They chopped off their hands and feet, and hung their bodies by the pool in Hebron. Then they took Ishbosheth's head and buried it in Abner's grave in Hebron.
