2 Samuel 19
1 Siangpahrang teh Absalom hanelah a khui a ka tie Joab koe a dei pouh awh.
Joab was told, “Behold, the king weeps and mourns for Absalom.”
2 Hot hnin e tânae teh tami pueng hanelah lungmathoe nahanelah doeh ao. Siangpahrang ni a capa pou a khuikakhai tie hah a thai awh.
The victory that day was turned into mourning among all the people, for the people heard it said that day, “The king grieves for his son.”
3 Tarantuknae koehoi ka yawng e naw ni kayanae lahoi khothung duem a kâen awh e patetlah hot hnin navah arulahoi khothung duem a kâen awh.
The people sneaked into the city that day, as people who are ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.
4 Siangpahrang ni a minhmai a ramuk teh, Oe ka capa Absalom, Oe Absalom, ka capa, ka capa telah kacaipounglah a khuika.
The king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, “My son Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son!”
5 Joab ni siangpahrang koe a cei teh, imthungkhu a kâen, na hringnae na canu na capa a hringnae hoi na yu hoi na yudonaw a hringnae karungngangnaw hah sahnin vah na kaya sak awh toe.
Joab came into the house to the king, and said, “Today you have shamed the faces of all your servants who today have saved your life, and the lives of your sons and of your daughters, and the lives of your wives, and the lives of your concubines;
6 Nang na kamaithoenaw lung na pataw teh, nang lungpataw naw law teh na maithoe toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kacuenaw hoi ransanaw teh nama hanelah bang hoeh lah sahnin na kamnue sak. Absalom hring pawiteh, kaimanaw hah sahnin be kadout awh pawiteh, na lung a hawi han doeh telah sahnin ka hmunae lah ao atipouh.
in that you love those who hate you and hate those who love you. For you have declared today that princes and servants are nothing to you. For today I perceive that if Absalom had lived and we had all died today, then it would have pleased you well.
7 Thaw nateh alawilah tâcawt nateh, na sannaw hnâroumnae lawk dei pouh leih. Na tâcawt hoehpawiteh, tami buet touh hai atu tangmin nang koe kaawm awh mahoeh toe. Hote hno teh na nawca hoi sahnin totouh nang dawk kaawm e hlak hoe kathout han, telah BAWIPA thoebo laihoi ka dei telah atipouh.
Now therefore arise, go out and speak to comfort your servants; for I swear by Yahweh, if you don’t go out, not a man will stay with you this night. That would be worse to you than all the evil that has happened to you from your youth until now.”
8 Siangpahrang teh a thaw teh, rapan longkha koe a tahung. Siangpahrang rapan longkha koe a tahung e taminaw ni a thai awh toteh, ahni koe a cei awh. Isarelnaw teh amamae rim koelah be a kâran awh.
Then the king arose and sat in the gate. The people were all told, “Behold, the king is sitting in the gate.” All the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled every man to his tent.
9 Isarel miphunnaw dawk buet touh hoi buet touh kâounnae ao. Siangpahrang ni taran kut dawk hoi na rungngang. Filistinnaw e kut dawk thung hoi na rungngang. Atuvah Absalom kecu dawk ram thung hoi a yawng.
All the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he has fled out of the land from Absalom.
10 Maimouh ni satui awi awh e Absalom teh tarantuknae koe a due toe. Bangkongmaw siangpahrang bout bankhai awh hane na dei awh hoeh. Bangkong lawkkamuem lah na o awh telah a kâpakung awh.
Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why don’t you speak a word of bringing the king back?”
11 Siangpahrang Devit ni vaihma Zadok hoi Abiathar koe, Judah kacuenaw koe bangkongmaw siangpahrang hah a im lah ceisak hane, bangkong hnuk na teng awh. Isarelnaw ni a dei awh e lawk patenghai siangpahrang koe a pha teh a thai toe.
King David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, “Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, ‘Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house, since the speech of all Israel has come to the king, to return him to his house?
12 Nangmanaw teh ka hmaunawngha ka hru, ka tak doeh. Siangpahrang koe bout thaisak hane hah bangkong hnuk na teng awh.
You are my brothers. You are my bone and my flesh. Why then are you the last to bring back the king?’
13 Amasa koevah, nang hah kaie ka hru, ka tak lah na awm hoeh maw. Joab yueng lah ka hmaitung ransabawi lah na awm sak hoehpawiteh, Cathut ni ahawi ati e patetlah kai dawk sak naseh, telah dei pouh awh, telah tami a patoun.
Say to Amasa, ‘Aren’t you my bone and my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if you aren’t captain of the army before me continually instead of Joab.’”
14 Hottelah Judah miphunnaw hah lungthin buet touh e patetlah ao sak. Siangpahrang koevah, a taminaw hoi ban awh telah dei pouh hanelah taminaw hah a patoun.
He bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as one man, so that they sent to the king, saying, “Return, you and all your servants.”
15 Siangpahrang teh a ban teh, Jordan tui koe a pha. Judahnaw ni siangpahrang a dawn awh teh, Jordan tui namran lah thak hanelah Gilgal kho koelah a cei awh.
So the king returned, and came to the Jordan. Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring the king over the Jordan.
16 Benjamin miphun Bahurim kho e tami Gera capa Shimei teh karanglah siangpahrang dawn hanelah Judahnaw koe a cei van.
Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, who was of Bahurim, hurried and came down with the men of Judah to meet King David.
17 Benjamin miphun 1, 000, Sawl imthung e a san Ziba hoi a capa 15 touh hoi a san 20 touh a tho awh teh, siangpahrang e a hmaitung vah Jordan tui a raka awh.
There were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of Saul’s house, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they went through the Jordan in the presence of the king.
18 Siangpahrang imthungnaw a thak sak nahanelah, a panki e sak nahanelah, a ceikhai awh. Jordan tui a raka awh navah, Gera capa Shimei teh siangpahrang hmalah a tabo.
A ferry boat went to bring over the king’s household, and to do what he thought good. Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king when he had come over the Jordan.
19 Ka bawipa ni payonnae ka tawn e lah na pouk hanh naseh. Siangpahrang ka bawipa ni Jerusalem a tâcotakhai hnin vah, na san ni kalan hoeh e lah sak e hah, na pâkuem pouh hanh. Siangpahrang ni a lung dawk pâkuem hanh naseh.
He said to the king, “Don’t let my lord impute iniquity to me, or remember that which your servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart.
20 Na san ni yonnae ka sak e hah na san kai ni ka panue. Hateiteh, Joseph imthungnaw dawk, ka bawipa dawn hanelah ahmaloe ka tho e doeh telah ati.
For your servant knows that I have sinned. Therefore behold, I have come today as the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.”
21 Zeruiah capa Abisai ni BAWIPA ni satui a awi e thoe a bo dawkvah, Shimei hah dei hane nahoehmaw telah ati.
But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered, “Shouldn’t Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed Yahweh’s anointed?”
22 Devit ni nangmanaw Zeruiah capanaw sahnin kai na taran hane, kai hoi bangmaw na kâseng awh. Sahnin Isarel ka kâtet pueng thei hanelah maw kai teh sahnin Isarel siangpahrang lah ka o tie ka panuek hoeh na maw telah ati.
David said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should be adversaries to me today? Shall any man be put to death today in Israel? For don’t I know that I am king over Israel today?”
23 Siangpahrang ni Shimei koevah, na dout mahoeh telah lawk a kam.
The king said to Shimei, “You will not die.” The king swore to him.
24 Sawl capa Mephibosheth teh siangpahrang dawn hanelah a tho. Siangpahrang a cei hnin hoiyah karoumcalah bout a tho hoehnahlan totouh, a khok pâsu hoeh, a pâkhamuen ngaw hoeh, a hni hai pâsu hoeh.
Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king; and he had neither groomed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace.
25 Siangpahrang dawn hanelah Jerusalem kho koe a pha navah, siangpahrang ni Mephibosheth, bangkong kai koe na cei van hoeh telah ati.
When he had come to Jerusalem to meet the king, the king said to him, “Why didn’t you go with me, Mephibosheth?”
26 Oe siangpahrang ka bawipa, ka san ni na dum. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na san ni siangpahrang koe cei hanelah la kâcui thai nahanlah kârasoup han ka ti ei, na san teh ka khokkhem.
He answered, “My lord, O king, my servant deceived me. For your servant said, ‘I will saddle a donkey for myself, that I may ride on it and go with the king,’ because your servant is lame.
27 Siangpahrang ka bawipa nang koevah, na san heh na pathoe. Hateiteh, siangpahrang ka bawipa teh, Cathut kalvantami patetlah ao. Ahawi na tie patetlah sak lawih.
He has slandered your servant to my lord the king, but my lord the king is as an angel of God. Therefore do what is good in your eyes.
28 Bangkongtetpawiteh, imthungnaw heh siangpahrang hmaitung be thei hanelah a kamcu. Hatei, na san teh caboi dawk rawca ka ven e lah na o sak. Hatdawkvah, siagpahrang koevah kai ni hno alouke ka hei ngam hane bangmaw kaawm telah atipouh.
For all my father’s house were but dead men before my lord the king; yet you set your servant among those who ate at your own table. What right therefore have I yet that I should appeal any more to the king?”
29 Siangpahrang ni nange kong bangmaw dei hanelah kaawm. Nang hoi Ziba ni lawhmuen na kârei roi han telah kai ni ka dei toe tayaw telah ati.
The king said to him, “Why do you speak any more of your matters? I say, you and Ziba divide the land.”
30 Mephibosheth ni siangpahrang koevah, siangpahrang teh ama im vah karoumcalah a pha dawkvah, ama ni abuemlahoi lat lawi naseh telah atipouh.
Mephibosheth said to the king, “Yes, let him take all, because my lord the king has come in peace to his own house.”
31 Gilead tami Barzillai hah Rogelim kho lahoi a tho teh, siangpahrang teh Jordan tui rakakhai hanelah ahni koe a cei van.
Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim; and he went over the Jordan with the king to conduct him over the Jordan.
32 Barzillai teh a kum 80 touh a pha toe. A matawng toe. Mahanaim vah siangpahrang ao nah thung teh canei hane kawi ouk a poe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni teh ka tawnta poung e lah ao.
Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even eighty years old. He had provided the king with sustenance while he stayed at Mahanaim, for he was a very great man.
33 Siangpahrang ni Barzillai koevah, kai koe tho van nateh, Jerusalem kho kai koe awm nateh, na kawk han telah atipouh.
The king said to Barzillai, “Come over with me, and I will sustain you with me in Jerusalem.”
34 Barzillai ni siangpahrang koevah, nâsittouh maw ka hring rah vaiteh, Jerusalem siangpahrang koe ka cei van han vaiyoe.
Barzillai said to the king, “How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
35 Sahnin kai teh kum 80 touh ka pha toe. A thoe hoi hawi kapek thai hoeh toe. Kai ni ka canei e a tui hoi tui hoeh e hai ka panue yaw toung. Tongpa napui naw e la sak pawlawk hai ka thai hoeh toe. Na san kai ni siangpahrang ka bawipa hanelah, hmuenri lah khuet ka o han vaw.
I am eighty years old, today. Can I discern between good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear the voice of singing men and singing women any more? Why then should your servant be a burden to my lord the king?
36 Na san ni siangpahrang koe, Jordan tui na raka totouh dueng doeh ka tho thai ti. Bangkong nama siangpahrang ni het patetlae tawkphu khuet na poe han vaw.
Your servant will just go over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king repay me with such a reward?
37 Na san kai teh ka onae kho dawk, apa e tangkom koe ka due hanelah na ban sak leih. Na san Khimham ao doeh. Siangpahrang hoi rei cet sak. Ahawi na tie patetlah na sak han telah atipouh.
Please let your servant turn back again, that I may die in my own city, by the grave of my father and my mother. But behold, your servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good to you.”
38 Siangpahrang ni Khimham teh kai hoi rei ka cei roi han. Ahawi na tie patetlah ahni dawk ka sak han. Na hei e pueng hai na sak pouh han telah atipouh.
The king answered, “Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good to you. Whatever you request of me, that I will do for you.”
39 Tami pueng hai Jordan tui namran lah a raka awh. Siangpahrang ama dueng a raka hnukkhu, Barzillai hah a tapam a paco teh yawhawi a poe teh aonae koe lah a ban.
All the people went over the Jordan, and the king went over. Then the king kissed Barzillai and blessed him; and he returned to his own place.
40 Siangpahrang teh Gilgal kho a cei. Khimham hai ahni koe a cei van. Judahnaw ni siangpahrang teh a thak awh. Isarel taminaw ni hai a thak awh van.
So the king went over to Gilgal, and Chimham went over with him. All the people of Judah brought the king over, and also half the people of Israel.
41 Isarelnaw pueng siangpahrang koe a tho awh teh, bangkongmaw hmaunawngha Judahnaw ni hoe a hnai awh teh, siangpahrang hoi a imthungnaw hoi Jordan tui namran lah koung a ceikhai awh telah ati awh.
Behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, “Why have our brothers the men of Judah stolen you away, and brought the king and his household, over the Jordan, and all David’s men with him?”
42 Judahnaw ni siangpahrang teh kaimouh hoi kâhnai e lah ao dawkvah, bangkongmaw hete kong dawk na lungkhuek. Siangpahrang e rawcanaw kaimouh ni ka ca ka nei awh maw. Kaimouh koe na poe awh e hno ao maw telah Isarelnaw hanelah atipouh.
All the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, “Because the king is a close relative to us. Why then are you angry about this matter? Have we eaten at all at the king’s cost? Or has he given us any gift?”
43 Isarelnaw ni Judahnaw koe kaimouh ni siangpahrang dawk hra touh coe hane ka tawn awh. Devit dawkvah nangmanaw hlak pang hane hoe ka tawn awh. Siangpahrang ban sak hane kong dawk kaimouh hoi apuengcue kâpannae awm laipalah, bangkong kaimanaw na dudam awh telah Judahnaw koe bout a dei pouh awh. Judahnaw e lawk hah Isarelnaw e lawk hlak hoe a hram.
The men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, “We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more claim to David than you. Why then did you despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king?” The words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.
