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.
Now there was a famine in the days of David for three consecutive years, so David sought the face of YHWH. And YHWH said, "There is bloodguilt on Saul and on his house, because he murdered the Gibeonites."
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.
So the king summoned the Gibeonites, and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel but of the remnant of the Amorites. And the children of Israel had sworn to them, but Saul sought to exterminate them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah.)
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 Gibeonites, "What can I do for you? And how can I make atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of YHWH?"
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.
The Gibeonites said to him, "It is not a matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his house, nor is it our place to put anyone to death in Israel." Then he said, "What do you want? For I will do it for you."
5 Ahnimouh ni siangpahrang thei hane ka kâcai e hoi Isarel ram roeroe dawk ao hoeh nahanelah, na kayouknaw,
So they said to the king, "The man who opposed us and persecuted us, who meant to eradicate us from having a place anywhere in the territory 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 seven of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them before YHWH at Gibeon on the mountain of YHWH." And the king replied, "I will do it."
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 Mippibaal, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of YHWH's oath that was between them, 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,
But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mippibaal; and the five sons of Merob the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
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 delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the mountain before YHWH, and all seven of them fell together. And they were put to death in the first days of harvest at 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 Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on a rock, from the beginning of harvest until it rained on them from the sky. And she did not allow the birds of the sky to rest on them by day, nor the wild animals by night.
11 Aiah canu Sawl e a yudo Rizpah hno a sak e Devit koe a dei pouh awh.
It was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the secondary wife of Saul, had done.
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.
Then David went and obtained the bones of Saul and the bones of his son Jonathan from the citizens of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hung them on the day that the Philistines killed Saul on Gilboa;
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 brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son. And they gathered the bones of those who were 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 he buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan in the land of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father. And they performed all that the king commanded. After that God responded to prayers for 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.
The Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. Now David became exhausted,
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 Dodo son of Joash, of the descendants of the Raphah, captured him. His spear weighed three hundred bronze shekels, and he was girded with a new sword, and he thought he could kill 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.
But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him and struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David took an oath, saying, "You must not go out to battle with us again, so that you do not extinguish the lamp of Israel."
18 Goba kho vah, Filistinnaw a tuk awh navah, Hushath tami Sibbekhai ni Ephraim miphun Saph hah a thei.
Now it came to pass after this that there was another battle with the Philistines at Gezer. Then Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Saph, a descendant of the Raphah.
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.
There was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like 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.
There was another battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature who had on six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, twenty four in number, and he also was a descendant of Raphah.
21 Isarelnaw a tuk navah, Devit e a hmau Shimei capa Jonathan ni ahni hah a thei.
When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah, David's brother, killed 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 descendants of Raphah in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
