2 Samuel 21
1 Devit e tueng dawk kum thum touh rawca takang a tho teh, Devit ni BAWIPA koe lawk a pacei, BAWIPA ni Sawl hoi a imthung, thipalawngnae kecu dawk doeh, Gibeon taminaw a thei awh telah ati.
And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of the Lord. And the Lord said, [There is] guilt upon Saul and his house because of his bloody murder, whereby he slew the Gabaonites.
2 Siangpahrang ni Gibeon taminaw a kaw. Gibeon taminaw heh Isarel miphun e a canaw nahoeh. Amor tami dawk e ka cawi e doeh. Isarelnaw ni ahnimouh koe lawk a kam awh toe. Sawl ni Isarel miphunnaw hoi Judahnaw hanelah a panki pouh e kecu dawk thei hane ouk a kâcai awh.
And King David called the Gabaonites, and said to them; —(now the Gabaonites are not the children of Israel, but [are] of the remnant of the Amorite, and the children of Israel had sworn to them: but Saul sought to smite them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Juda.)
3 Devit ni Gibeonnaw koe bangmaw na sak pouh awh han. BAWIPA e râw hah yawhawi na poe awh thai nahan, bangpatet lae yonthanae maw ka sak han telah atipouh.
And David said to the Gabaonites, What shall I do to you? and wherewithal shall I make atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the Lord?
4 Gibeonnaw ni ahnimanaw koe, Sawl hoi a imthungnaw dawk tangka hoi sui ka het awh hoeh. Isarelnaw buet touh hai thei thainae ka tawn awh hoeh telah ati. Ahni ni na dei e pueng kai ni na sak pouh han telah atipouh.
And the Gabaonites said to him, We have no [question about] silver or gold with Saul and with his house; and there is no man for us to put to death in Israel.
5 Ahnimouh ni siangpahrang thei hane ka kâcai e hoi Isarel ram roeroe dawk ao hoeh nahanelah, na kayouknaw,
And he said, What say ye? speak, and I will do it for you. And they said to the king, The man who would have made an end of us, and persecuted us, who plotted against us to destroy us, let us utterly destroy him, so that he shall have no standing in all the coasts of Israel.
6 a capa sari touh na poe awh haw. BAWIPA ni a rawi e Sawl onae Gibeah vah BAWIPA hmaitung kâbang awh han telah ati. Siangpahrang ni na poe awh han telah atipouh.
Let one give us seven men of his sons, and let us hang them up in the sun to the Lord in Gabaon of Saul, as chosen out for the Lord. And the king said, I will give [them].
7 Hateiteh, siangpahrang ni BAWIPA koevah, Devit hoi Sawl e capa Jonathan rahak, ahnimouh roi a rahak e lawk a kam e kecu dawk Sawl e capa Jonathan e capa Mephibosheth hah a hlout sak.
But the king spared Memphibosthe son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the oath of the Lord that was between them, even between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
8 Siangpahrang ni Aiah canu Rizpah ni Sawl hanelah ca tongpa kahni touh, Armoni hoi Mephibosheth, Sawl canu Mikhal ni Meholath tami Barzillai capa Adriel hanlah a sak pouh e ca tongpa panga touh a la teh,
And the king took the two sons of Respha the daughter of Aia, whom she bore to Saul, Hermonoi and Memphibosthe, and the five sons of Michol daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Esdriel son of Berzelli the Moulathite.
9 Gibeonnaw e kut dawk a poe. Ahnimanaw ni BAWIPA hmalah mon dawkvah a bang awh. Hottelahoi sari touh e naw teh a due awh. Canga tue nah hnin touh dawk a thei awh teh, a due awh.
And he gave them into the hand of the Gabaonites, and they hanged them up to the sun in the mountain before the lord: and they fell, even the seven together: moreover they were put to death in the days of harvest at the commencement, in the beginning of barley-harvest.
10 Aiah canu Rizpah ni burihni a la teh, canga a kamtawng koehoi kho a rak hoehnahlan totouh, napon hah a la teh, talung van dawk a i nahan a phai. Kanîthun vah ro e a van vah tava a cu hane hoi tangmin vah sarang ni ca hane a pasoung hoeh teh a ring.
And Respha the daughter of Aia took sackcloth, and fixed it for herself on the rock in the beginning of barley harvest, until water dropped upon them out of heaven: and she did not suffer the birds of the air to rest upon them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
11 Aiah canu Sawl e a yudo Rizpah hno a sak e Devit koe a dei pouh awh.
And it was told David what Respha the daughter of Aia the concubine of Saul had done, [and they were faint, and Dan, the son of Joa of the offspring of the giants overtook them.]
12 Filistinnaw ni Gilboa mon dawk Sawl a thei awh teh, a ro hah a bangnae, Bethshan lam hoi kaparawtnaw Jabesh hoi Gilead ram e khocanaw aonae koe siangpahrang ni a cei teh, Sawl e a hru hoi a capa Jonathan e a hru hah a la awh.
And David went and took the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the men of the sons of Jabis Galaad, who stole them from the street of Baethsan; for the Philistines set them there in the day in which the Philistines smote Saul in Gelbue.
13 Hote hmuen koehoi Sawl hoi Jonathan e a hru a ceikhai awh teh, a bang awh e hru hai a la awh.
And he carried up thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and gathered the bones of them that had been hanged.
14 Sawl hoi a capa Jonathan e a hru hah Benjamin ram e Zelah kho e a na pa Kish e tangkom dawk a pakawp awh teh, siangpahrang ni kâ a poe e patetlah a sak. Hathnukkhu a ram hane ratoumnae lawk hah Cathut ni a thai.
And they buried the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and the bones of them that had been hanged, in the land of Benjamin in the hill, in the sepulchre of Cis his father; and they did all things that the king commanded: and after this God hearkened to [the prayers of] the land.
15 Filistinnaw ni Isarel hah bout a tuk awh. Devit teh a taminaw hoi a cathuk awh teh, Filistinnaw hah a tuk awh nah, Devit teh hroung a tawn.
And there was yet war between the Philistines and Israel: and David went down and his servants with him, and they fought with the Philistines, and David went.
16 Ephraim miphun Ishbibenob tami Rapha catoun Ishbibenob, a tahroe a ri e rahum shekel 300, tahloi a katha e hoi Devit thei hanelah a kâcai.
And Jesbi, who was of the progeny of Rapha, and the head of whose spear [was] three hundred shekels of brass in weight, who also was girt with a club, even he thought to smite David.
17 Zeruiah capa Abishai ni a kabawp teh, Filistin tami hai a thei. Hatnavah, Devit e a taminaw ni, Isarel angnae roum langvaih tie hah a ngaihri awh dawkvah, nang teh kaimanaw hoi na cet mahoeh telah lawk a kam awh.
And Abessa the son of Saruia helped him and smote the Philistine, and slew him. Then the men of David swore, saying, Thou shalt not any longer go out with us to battle, and thou shalt not quench the lamp of Israel.
18 Goba kho vah, Filistinnaw a tuk awh navah, Hushath tami Sibbekhai ni Ephraim miphun Saph hah a thei.
And after this there was a battle again with the Philistines in Geth: then Sebocha the Astatothite slew Seph of the progeny of Rapha.
19 Filistinnaw hoi Goba khovah, bout a kâtuk awh. Bethlehem kho e Joaareoregim capa Elhanan ni Git tami Goliath hah a thei. A tahroecung teh hni kawng kalawng e patetlah ao.
And there was a battle in Rom with the Philistines; and Eleanan son of Ariorgim the Bethleemite slew Goliath the Gittite; and the staff of his spear [was] as a weaver's beam.
20 Gath khovah kâtuknae bout ao teh, hawvah, ka rasang poung e aranglae kut roi dawk kutcarei taruk touh, avanglae a khok roi dawk a khokcarei taruk, asumkum 24 touh ka tawn e ao. Filistin miphun tamikalennaw doeh.
And there was yet a battle in Geth: and there was a man of stature, and the fingers of his hands and the toes of his feet [were] six on each, four and twenty in number: and he also was born to Rapha.
21 Isarelnaw a tuk navah, Devit e a hmau Shimei capa Jonathan ni ahni hah a thei.
And he defied Israel, and Jonathan son of Semei brother of David, smote him.
22 Ahnimanaw pali touh e naw teh, Gath kho dawk kaawm e Rapha tami kalenpounge capa lah ao teh, Devit hoi a sannaw e kut dawk hoi a due awh.
These four were born descendants of the giants in Geth, the family of Rapha; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
