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.
There was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David sought the face of Yahweh. Yahweh said, “It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put the Gibeonites to death.”
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.
The king called the Gibeonites and said 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; and Saul sought to kill 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 should I do for you? And with what should I make atonement, that you may bless Yahweh’s inheritance?”
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 no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his house; neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel.” He said, “I will do for you whatever you say.”
5 Ahnimouh ni siangpahrang thei hane ka kâcai e hoi Isarel ram roeroe dawk ao hoeh nahanelah, na kayouknaw,
They said to the king, “The man who consumed us and who plotted against us, that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders 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 men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them up to Yahweh in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Yahweh.” 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 Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of Yahweh’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 Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Merab 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.
He delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites; and they hanged them on the mountain before Yahweh, and all seven of them fell together. They were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, 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.
Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water poured on them from the sky. She allowed neither the birds of the sky to rest on them by day, nor the animals of the field by night.
11 Aiah canu Sawl e a yudo Rizpah hno a sak e Devit koe a dei pouh awh.
David was told what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine 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.
So David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the street of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hanged them in the day that the Philistines killed Saul in 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. They also 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.
They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father; and they performed all that the king commanded. After that, God answered prayer 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. David grew faint;
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 Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of bronze in weight, he being armed with a new sword, thought he would 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 swore to him, saying, “Don’t go out with us to battle any more, so that you don’t quench the lamp of Israel.”
18 Goba kho vah, Filistinnaw a tuk awh navah, Hushath tami Sibbekhai ni Ephraim miphun Saph hah a thei.
After this, there was again war with the Philistines at Gob. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was of the sons of the giant.
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 Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite’s brother, 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 again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on every hand and six toes on every foot, twenty-four in number, and he also was born to the giant.
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 Shimei, 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 born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
