1 Devit a due han a hnai toung dawkvah, a capa Solomon hah kâ a poe.

And draw near do the days of David to die, and he chargeth Solomon his son, saying,

2 Talai phung patetlah ka cei han toe. Hatdawkvah, thakâlat nateh tongpatang lah awm loe.

'I am going in the way of all the earth, and thou hast been strong, and become a man,

and kept the charge of Jehovah thy God, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commands, and His judgments, and His testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, so that thou dost wisely all that thou dost, and whithersoever thou turnest,

4 BAWIPA ni kaie kong dawk hoi na capanaw ni lungthin buemlahoi a hringnae buemlahoi a ceinae koe kâhruetcuet lahoi ka hmalah yuemkamcu lah awm pawiteh, Isarelnaw e bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung hane na vout awh mahoeh, telah a dei e hah a caksak han.

so that Jehovah doth establish His word which He spake unto me, saying, If thy sons observe their way to walk before Me in truth, with all their heart, and with all their soul; saying, There is not cut off a man of thine from the throne of Israel.

'And also, thou hast known that which he did to me — Joab son of Zeruiah — that which he did to two heads of the hosts of Israel, to Abner son of Ner, and to Amasa son of Jether — that he slayeth them, and maketh the blood of war in peace, and putteth the blood of war in his girdle, that [is] on his loins, and in his sandals that [are] on his feet;

6 Hatdawkvah, na lungang e patetlah tawk haw, a sam kaponaw phuen vah karoumcalah loum sak hanh. (Sheol h7585)

and thou hast done according to thy wisdom, and dost not let his old age go down in peace to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

7 Gilead tami Barzillai tinaw koe teh lungmanae kamnuek sak. Na caboi dawk rawca kavenkung lah sak. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na hmau Absalom koehoi ka yawng nah kai koe a tho awh.

'And to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite thou dost do kindness, and they have been among those eating at thy table, for so they drew near unto me in my fleeing from the face of Absalom thy brother.

'And lo, with thee [is] Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite of Bahurim, and he reviled me — a grievous reviling — in the day of my going to Mahanaim; and he hath come down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swear to him by Jehovah, saying, I do not put thee to death by the sword;

9 Hatdawkvah, yonnae ka tawn hoeh e patetlah pouk hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh tami lungkaang lah na o. A lathueng vah bangtelamaw ka sak han tie hah na panue han doeh. Phuen dawk a sam kaponaw teh thipaling hoi na ceisak han telah atipouh. (Sheol h7585)

and now, acquit him not, for a wise man thou [art], and thou hast known that which thou dost to him, and hast brought down his old age with blood to Sheol.' (Sheol h7585)

10 Hahoi Devit teh a na mintoenaw koe a i teh, Devit khopui dawk a pakawp awh.

And David lieth down with his fathers, and is buried in the city of David,

11 Devit ni Isarel a uknae tueng kum 40 touh a pha. Hebron vah kum 7 touh a uk teh, Jerusalem vah kum 33 touh a uk.

and the days that David hath reigned over Israel [are] forty years, in Hebron he hath reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem he hath reigned thirty and three years.

12 Hahoi, Solomon teh a na pa e bawitungkhung dawk a tahung teh a uknaeram teh hoe a caksak.

And Solomon hath sat on the throne of David his father, and his kingdom is established greatly,

13 Haggith capa Adonijah teh Solomon e manu Bathsheba koe a tho. Manu ni roumnae hoi maw na tho telah a pacei. Roumnae hoi ka tho doeh telah atipouh.

and Adonijah son of Haggith cometh in unto Bath-Sheba, mother of Solomon, and she saith, 'Is thy coming peace?' and he saith, 'Peace.'

14 Hahoi, ahni ni nang koe lawk dei hane ka tawn atipouh. Manu ni dei haw atipouh.

And he saith, 'I have a word unto thee,' and she saith, 'Speak.'

15 Ahni ni ram hateh kaie lah ao tie hoi Isarelnaw pueng ni hai kai ni uknaeram hanlah a pouknae naw kai dawk a bo tie hai na panue. Hatei, ram hateh, ka nawngha koe a pha toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA khokhangnae teh ahni hanelah doeh ao.

And he saith, 'Thou hast known that the kingdom was mine, and towards me set their faces had all Israel for reigning, and the kingdom is turned round about, and is my brother's, for from Jehovah it was his;

16 Atuvah, hno buet touh hei hane ka tawn, na ek pouh hanh leih atipouh. Manu ni dei leih bout atipouh.

and now, one petition I am asking of thee — turn not back my face;' and she saith unto him, 'Speak.'

17 Pahren lahoi siangpahrang Solomon na pato pouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na lawk teh ek mahoeh. Shunam tami Abishag hah yu lah na paluen sak haw naseh atipouh.

And he saith, 'Speak, I pray thee, to Solomon the king, for he doth not turn back thy face, and he doth give to me Abishag the Shunammite for a wife.'

18 Bathsheba ni, oe siangpahrang koe ka dei pouh han atipouh.

And Bath-Sheba saith, 'Good; I do speak for thee unto the king.'

19 Hahoi, Bathsheba teh Adonijah e lawk dei pouh hanelah, siangpahrang Solomon koe a cei. Siangpahrang teh a manu a dawn hanelah a thaw teh, a hmalah a tabo teh a bawitungkhung dawk bout a tahung. Siangpahrang e manu hanelah bawitungkhung hah a hruek pou teh, aranglah a tahung pouh.

And Bath-Sheba cometh in unto king Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah, and the king riseth to meet her, and boweth himself to her, and sitteth on his throne, and placeth a throne for the mother of the king, and she sitteth at his right hand.

20 Hahoi, hno buet touh ka hei hane ao. Na lungkuepkhai loe atipouh. Siangpahrang ni het loe anu, ka ek mahoeh atipouh.

And she saith, 'One small petition I ask of thee, turn not back my face;' and the king saith to her, 'Ask, my mother, for I do not turn back thy face.'

21 Ahni ni, Shunam tami Abishag he na hmau Adonijah e yu lah paluen sak loe atipouh.

And she saith, 'Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother for a wife.'

22 Siangpahrang Solomon ni, bangkongmaw Shunam napui Abishag hah Adonijah hanelah na hei. Uknaeram hai het pouh bokhe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni teh ka hmau nahoehmaw. Ahni hane hoi vaihma Abiathar hoi Zeruiah capa Joab hane hai het pouh bokhe atipouh.

And king Solomon answereth and saith to his mother, 'And why art thou asking Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? also ask for him the kingdom — for he [is] mine elder brother — even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab son of Zeruiah.'

23 Siangpahrang Solomon ni BAWIPA e min lahoi Adonijah ni a hei e heh ama due nahane nahoeh pawiteh, Cathut ni a ngai e patetlah kai dawk sak lawiseh, hothlak ka pataw lahai yah ati.

And king Solomon sweareth by Jehovah, saying, 'Thus doth God to me, and thus He doth add — surely against his soul hath Adonijah spoken this word;

24 BAWIPA e lawkkam patetlah na caksak teh apa Devit e bawitungkhung dawk na tahung sak teh ka imthung kangdout sak e hringnae lahoi ka dei. Adonijah het sahnin roeroe thei e lah awm seh telah lawk a kam.

and now, Jehovah liveth, who hath established me, and causeth me to sit on the throne of David my father, and who hath made for me an house as He spake — surely to-day is Adonijah put to death.'

25 Hahoi teh, siangpahrang Solomon ni Jehoiada capa Benaiah a patoun teh ahni ni a hem teh a due.

And king Solomon sendeth by the hand of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he falleth upon him, and he dieth.

26 Hahoi, vaihma Abiathar koevah, siangpahrang ni, Anathoth kho e nang nama im ban leih. Due hanlah na kamcu, hatei apa Devit hmalah Bawipa Jehovah e thingkong na hrawm teh apa ni a khang e runae naw hai na khangkhai van dawkvah, atu teh na thet mahoeh rah atipouh.

And to Abiathar the priest said the king, 'To Anathoth go, unto thy fields; for a man of death thou [art], but in this day I do not put thee to death, because thou hast borne the ark of the Lord Jehovah before David my father, and because thou wast afflicted in all that my father was afflicted in.'

27 Hahoi teh, Cathut ni Shiloh kho vah Eli imthungnaw hno lahoi a dei e a kuep nahanelah, Solomon ni Abiathar teh BAWIPA e vaihma thaw dawk hoi a takhoe.

And Solomon casteth out Abiathar from being priest to Jehovah, to fulfil the word of Jehovah which He spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.

28 Hote lawk hah Joab ni a thai. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Joab teh Absalom koelah bawk hoeh eiteh, Adonijah koelah ka bawk e tami lah ao. Hahoi Joab teh BAWIPA e lukkareiim dawk a yawng teh thuengnae khoungroe ki hah a kuet.

And the report hath come unto Joab — for Joab hath turned aside after Adonijah, though after Absalom he did not turn aside — and Joab fleeth unto the tent of Jehovah, and layeth hold on the horns of the altar.

29 Hahoi, BAWIPA e lukkareiim dawk Joab a yawng, thuengnae khoungroe koe ao telah Solomon koe a dei pouh awh. Hahoi siangpahrang Solomon ni Jehoiada capa Benaiah koe cet nateh, thet atipouh.

And it is declared to king Solomon that Joab hath fled unto the tent of Jehovah, and lo, near the altar; and Solomon sendeth Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying, 'Go, fall upon him.'

30 Benaiah teh BAWIPA lukkareiim koe lah a ceitakhang teh ahni koevah siangpahrang ni tâcawt loe ati atipouh. Ahni ni nahoeh hete hmuen koe doeh ka due han atipouh. Benaiah ni Joab ni hettelah a dei, hettelah na pato telah siangpahrang koe a thai sak.

And Benaiah cometh in unto the tent of Jehovah, and saith unto him, 'Thus said the king, Come out;' and he saith, 'Nay, but here I die.' And Benaiah bringeth back the king word, saying, 'Thus spake Joab, yea, thus he answered me.'

31 Siangpahrang ni hai yon ka tawn hoeh e tami Joab ni a thei e yonnae teh kai hoi apa imthungnaw kâbet hoeh hanelah a dei e patetlah thet nateh pakawm awh atipouh.

And the king saith to him, 'Do as he hath spoken, and fall upon him, and thou hast buried him, and turned aside the causeless blood which Joab shed, from off me, and from off the house of my father;

32 Hat toteh, ama hlak kalan e kahawi e tami kahni touh Ner capa Abner Isarel ransanaw kaukkung hoi Jether capa Amsa Judah ransanaw kaukkung hah apa Devit ni panuek laipalah a tuk teh, tahloi hoi a thei dawkvah, BAWIPA ni a thipaling teh amae a lû dawk a pha sak han.

and Jehovah hath turned back his blood on his own head, who hath fallen on two men more righteous and better than he, and slayeth them with the sword, — and my father David knew not — Abner son of Ner, head of the host of Israel, and Amasa son of Jether, head of the host of Judah;

33 Hottelah, thipaling teh Joab e lû dawk hoi a catounnaw e lû dawk yuengyoe ban vaiteh, Devit e lathueng thoseh, a ca catounnaw e lathueng thoseh, a imthungnaw e lathueng thoseh, a bawitungkhung dawk BAWIPA koehoi roumnae yungyoe ao han atipouh.

yea, turned back hath their blood on the head of Joab, and on the head of his seed to the age; and for David, and for his seed, and for his house, and for his throne, there is peace unto the age, from Jehovah.'

34 Jehoiada capa Benaiah ni a cei teh a thei. Hahoi kahrawngum amae im dawk a pakawp.

And Benaiah son of Jehoiada goeth up and falleth upon him, and putteth him to death, and he is buried in his own house in the wilderness,

35 Hahoi siangpahrang ni Jehoiada capa Benaiah teh, ransabawi lah a hruek teh, vaihma Zadok hah siangpahrang ni Abiathar e a yueng lah a hruek.

and the king putteth Benaiah son of Jehoiada in his stead over the host, and Zadok the priest hath the king put in the stead of Abiathar.

36 Hahoi siangpahrang ni Shimei a kaw sak teh, ahni koevah Jerusalem vah im sak nateh, hawvah awmh. Hote hmuen koehoi nahai tâcawt hanh.

And the king sendeth and calleth for Shimei, and saith to him, 'Build for thee a house in Jerusalem, and thou hast dwelt there, and dost not go out thence any where;

37 Bangkongtetpawiteh, na tâco hnin, Kidron palang na raka hnin roeroe vah na due han tie hah panuek. Na thipaling teh nama e na lû dawk ao han atipouh.

and it hath been, in the day of thy going out, and thou hast passed over the brook Kidron, thou dost certainly know that thou dost surely die — thy blood is on thy head.'

38 Shimei ni siangpahrang koevah, bokheiyah, siangpahrang ka bawipa ni na dei e patetlah na san ni ka sak han atipouh.

And Shimei saith to the king, 'The word [is] good; as my lord the king hath spoken so doth thy servant do;' and Shimei dwelleth in Jerusalem many days.

39 Shimei teh Jerusalem vah ka saw hnawn lah ao. Kum thum touh a ro toteh, Shimei koe kaawm e sannaw thung hoi tami kahni touh teh, Gath siangpahrang Maakah capa Akhish koe a yawng. Thaihaw, na san teh Gath vah ao telah Shimei koe a dei pouh awh.

And it cometh to pass, at the end of three years, that flee do two of the servants of Shimei unto Achish son of Maachah, king of Gath, and they declare to Shimei, saying, 'Lo, thy servants [are] in Gath;'

40 Shimei a thaw teh, la a rakueng teh a san tawng hanelah Gath vah Akhish koe a cei. Hahoi Shimei ni Gath kho e a san hah a thokhai.

and Shimei riseth, and saddleth his ass, and goeth to Gath, unto Achish, to seek his servants, and Shimei goeth and bringeth his servants from Gath.

41 Shimei teh Jerusalem kho dawk hoi a tâco teh Gath kho lah a cei teh, bout a ban telah Solomon koe a dei pouh awh.

And it is declared to Solomon that Shimei hath gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and doth return,

42 Siangpahrang ni Shimei a kaw sak teh, ahni koevah na tâco hnin, ram louk lah na cei hnin vah na due roeroe han telah BAWIPA e min noe lahoi lawk kâkam teh na thaisak nahoehmaw. Hahoi nang ni hai na dei e ka thai e heh ahawi na ti.

and the king sendeth and calleth for Shimei, and saith unto him, 'Have I not caused thee to swear by Jehovah — and I testify against thee, saying, In the day of thy going out, and thou hast gone anywhere, thou dost certainly know that thou dost surely die; and thou sayest unto me, The word I have heard [is] good?

43 Bangkongmaw BAWIPA e lawkkam hoi kâlawknaw na tarawi hoeh atipouh.

and wherefore hast thou not kept the oath of Jehovah, and the charge that I charged upon thee?'

And the king saith unto Shimei, 'Thou hast known all the evil that thy heart hath known, which thou didst to David my father, and Jehovah hath turned back thine evil on thy head,

and king Solomon [is] blessed, and the throne of David is established before Jehovah unto the age.'

And the king chargeth Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he goeth out and falleth on him, and he dieth, and the kingdom is established in the hand of Solomon.
