2 Samuel 4
1 Sawl e capa Ishbosheth ni Hebron vah Abner a due tie a thai navah, a tha a youn. Isarelnaw pueng a puen awh teh kângairu awh.
And Jebosthe the son of Saul heard that Abenner the son of Ner had died in Chebron; and his hands were paralyzed, and all the men of Israel grew faint.
2 Sawl capa Ishbosheth ni ransanaw kaukkung kahni touh a tawn teh, buet touh e min teh Baanah, alouke buet touh e min teh Rekhab doeh. Benjamin capa Beeroth tami Rimmon capa doeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Beeroth teh Benjamin ram e lah a pouk awh.
And Jebosthe the son of Saul had two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one [was] Baana, and the name of the other Rechab, sons of Remmon the Berothite of the children of Benjamin; for Beroth was reckoned to the children of Benjamin.
3 Beerothnaw teh Gittaim vah a yawng awh teh, atu sittouh haw vah ao awh.
And the Berothites ran away to Gethaim, and were sojourners there until this day.
4 Sawl capa Jonathan ni capa khokkhem a tawn teh, kum 5 a pha navah Jezreel kho lahoi Sawl hoi Jonathan e kamthang a thai navah, ka kheyawn e ni a tawm teh a yawngkhai navah, karanglah a yawng dawkvah, camo hah a bo teh a khokkhem. Hote camo min teh Mephibosheth doeh.
And Jonathan Saul's son [had] a son lame of his feet, five years old, and he was [in the way] when the news of Saul and Jonathan his son came from Jezrael, and his nurse took him up, and fled; and it came to pass as he hasted and retreated, that he fell, and was lamed. And his name [was] Memphibosthe.
5 Beeroth phun Rimon capa Rekhab hoi Baanah hah a cei roi teh, Ishbosheth im vah kanîthun vah a pha. Hatnae tueng dawk Ishbosheth teh ouk a i.
And Rechab and Baana the sons of Remmon the Berothite went, and they came in the heat of the day into the house of Jebosthe; and he was sleeping on a bed at noon.
6 Haw e hmaunawngha Rekhab hoi Baanah teh, cakang ka lat hane patetlah a kâsak roi teh im lungui a kâen roi.
And, behold, the porter of the house winnowed wheat, and he slumbered and slept: and the brothers Rechab and Baana went privily into the house:
7 A inae khan dawk a inae koe Ishbosheth e von dawk a thut, a lû a tâtueng roi teh, ayawn lam lahoi karum tuettuet a yawng roi teh a hlout roi.
And Jebosthe was sleeping on his bed in his chamber: and they smite him, and slay him, and take off his head: and they took his head, and went all the night by the western road.
8 Ishbosheth e a lû Hebron kho Devit koe a thokhai teh, siangpahrang koevah khenhaw! hi vah nang thei han ka kâcai e na taran Sawl capa Ishbosheth lû hei, Bawipa ni ka bawipa e moi, sahnin vah Sawl hoi a catoun koevah a pathung toe.
And they brought the head of Jebosthe to David to Chebron, and they said to the king, Behold the head of Jebosthe the son of Saul thy enemy, who sought thy life; and the Lord has executed for my lord the king vengeance on his enemies, as [it is] this day: even on Saul thy enemy, and on his seed.
9 Hatei, Devit ni Beeroth tami Rimmon capa Rekhab hoi a hmaunawngha Baanah koe kho pouk runae thung hoi na ka ratang e BAWIPA a hring e patetlah,
And David answered and Rechab and Baana his brother, the sons of Remmon the Berothite, and said to them, [As] the Lord lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all affliction;
10 Kamthang kahawi ka phawt e lah pouk vaiteh, khenhaw! Sawl teh koe a due toe telah tami buet touh ni a dei. Ahni ka man teh Ziklag vah ka thei. Hothateh kamthang kahawi ka phawt e a tawkphu lah ka poe e doeh.
he that reported to me that Saul was dead, even he was as one bringing glad tidings before me: but I seized him and slew him in Sekelac, to whom I ought, [as he thought], to have given a reward for his tidings.
11 Hot dueng nahoeh rah, tamikaponaw ni tamikalan hah a imthung e a inae koe thet pawiteh, hoe sak hane kawi nahoehmaw. Atu roeroe ahnie thi hah nangmouh dawk ka hei vaiteh nangmouh hah talai van hoi he pahma hanelah a kamcu nahoehmaw telah ati.
And now evil men have slain a righteous men in his house on his bed: now then I will require his blood of your hand, and I will destroy you from off the earth.
12 Devit ni a thoundoun hah kâ a poe teh, a thei hnukkhu a kut a khok a tâtueng pouh. Hebron tui kamuem koe a bang awh. Ishbosheth e lû teh a la pouh teh, Hebron e Abner e tangkom koe a pakawp awh.
And David commanded his young men, and they slay them, and cut off their hands and their feet; and they hung them up at the fountain in Chebron: and they buried the head of Jebosthe in the tomb of Abenezer the son of Ner.
