2 Samuel 1
1 Sawl a due hnukkhu, Devit teh Amaleknaw a theinae koehoi a ban teh, Ziklag kho hnin hni touh ao.
After the death of Saul, when Dauid was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites and had beene two dayes in Ziklag,
2 A hnin thum hnin vah tami buet touh amae hni a ravei teh a lû dawk vaiphu a kâphuen nalaihoi a tho. Devit koe a pha navah talai dawk a tabo.
Behold, a man came the third day out of the host from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth vpon his head: and when hee came to Dauid, he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.
3 Devit ni vah nâ lahoi maw na tho telah a pacei. Ahni ni Isarelnaw e tumpupnae koehoi ka yawng telah ati.
Then Dauid saide vnto him, Whence commest thou? And he said vnto him, Out of the host of Israel I am escaped.
4 Devit ni hetheh bang e hno nama, dei haw atipouh. Ahni ni Isarelnaw teh, tarantuknae hmuen koehoi taminaw a yawng awh teh, tami moikapap a due. Sawl hoi a capa Jonathan hai a due toe telah bout a dei pouh.
And Dauid saide vnto him, What is done? I pray thee, tell me. Then he said, that the people is fled from the battel, and many of the people are ouerthrowen, and dead, and also Saul and Ionathan his sonne are dead.
5 Devit ni kadeikung thoundoun koe, bangtelah hoi maw Sawl hoi a capa Jonathan a due tie na panue telah atipouh.
And Dauid saide vnto the yong man that tolde it him, Howe knowest thou that Saul and Ionathan his sonne be dead?
6 Hote thoundoun ni, kai teh Gilead mon dawk ka pha navah, Sawl ni a tahroe a vaiteh leng hoi marangransanaw ni rek a pâlei awh.
Then the yong man that tolde him, answered, As I came to mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned vpon his speare, and loe, the charets and horsemen followed hard after him.
7 Sawl ni hnukkhu lah a khet navah kai hah na hmu teh na kaw.
And when he looked backe, he saw me, and called me. And I answered, Here am I.
8 Kai ni vah, ka o ka ti pouh. Nang hah apimaw telah na pacei. Kai teh, Amalek tami doeh telah bout ka ti pouh.
And he said vnto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.
9 Sawl ni kai koe tho nateh, kai na thet leih, kai ka due thai hoeh dawkvah, puenghoi patawnae ka khang telah ati e patetlah.
Then saide hee vnto me, I pray thee come vpon mee, and slay me: for anguish is come vpon me, because my life is yet whole in me.
10 Ahni koe ka kangdue teh ka thei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hottelah a rawp toung dawkvah hring mahoeh toe tie ka panue. A lû dawk kâmuk e bawilakhung hoi a kut dawk a buet e cawce hah ka rading pouh teh, ka bawipa koevah ka sin telah a dei.
So I came vpon him, and slewe him, and because I was sure that hee coulde not liue, after that hee had fallen, I tooke the crowne that was vpon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arme, and brought them hither vnto my lord.
11 Devit ni ahni hah a ravei, hot patetlah a taminaw ni lengkaleng a sak van awh.
Then Dauid tooke hold on his clothes, and rent them, and likewise al the men that were with him.
12 Sawl hoi a capa Jonathan Bawipa e taminaw hoi Isarel imthungnaw ni, tahloi hoi a due dawkvah ahni hanlah tangmin totouh a khuika awh teh rawca a hai awh.
And they mourned and wept, and fasted vntil euen, for Saul and for Ionathan his sonne, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel, because they were slaine with the sword.
13 Hote kamthang ka dei e thoundoun koe Devit ni, nang teh nâ lahoi maw na tho telah a pacei. Kai teh Jentel miphun Amelek tami doeh telah a dei.
Afterward Dauid saide vnto the yong man that tolde it him, Whence art thou? And hee answered, I am the sonne of a stranger an Amalekite.
14 Devit ni ahni koe, BAWIPA ni satui awi e thei hanelah bangkong maw na kut na pho.
And Dauid said vnto him, How wast thou not afrayd, to put forth thine hand to destroy the Anoynted of the Lord?
15 Hahoi, Devit ni thoundoun buet touh a kaw teh, ahni hah thet lawih atipouh e patetlah thoundoun teh a thei.
Then Dauid called one of his yong men, and said, Goe neere, and fall vpon him. And hee smote him that he dyed.
16 Devit ni na thipaling teh nama e na lû van bawt naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nama e na pahni roeroe hoi BAWIPA satui awi lah kaawm e ka thei na ti telah atipouh.
Then said Dauid vnto him, Thy blood be vpon thine owne head: for thine owne mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I haue slaine the Lords Anoynted.
17 Devit ni Sawl hoi Jonathan hah a khui.
Then Dauid mourned with this lamentation ouer Saul, and ouer Ionathan his sonne,
18 Judahnaw koe a cangkhai hane lilava la tie hateh, Jashar e cauk dawk thut e la hah doeh.
(Also he bade them teach the children of Iudah to shoote, as it is written in the booke of Iasher)
19 Isarel na bawilennae, na hmuen rasang dawk, duenae na khang toe. Tami athakaawme taminaw hai a due awh toe.
O noble Israel, hee is slane vpon thy hie places: how are the mightie ouerthrowen!
20 Gath vah pathang awh hanh. Askelon khopui e lam dawk thaisak awh hanh. Filistin canunaw a lunghawi awh langvaih. Vuensom ka a hoeh e napuinaw ni a lunghawi awh langvaih tie ngaihri han ao.
Tell it not in Gath, nor publish it in the streetes of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistims reioyce, lest the daughters of the vncircumcised triumph.
21 Oe Gilboa monnaw, nangmae lathueng tadamtui hoi khotui bawt hanh naseh. Law ni thueng kawi e a pawhik tâcawt sak hanh naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote hmuen koe athakaawme ni a sin e saiphei, Sawl ni a sin e bahling, satui hoi hluk hoe e saiphei patetlah tâkhawng awh.
Ye mountaines of Gilboa, vpon you be neither dewe nor raine, nor be there fieldes of offrings: for there the shielde of the mightie is cast downe, the shielde of Saul, as though he had not bene anointed with oyle.
22 Thei e naw e thi koehoi, thaonae athâw koehoi, Jonathan e pala teh hnuklah bout ban hoeh. Sawl e tahloi hai ayawm lah ban hoeh.
The bow of Ionathan neuer turned backe, neither did the sword of Saul returne emptie from the blood of the slaine, and from the fatte of the mightie.
23 Sawl hoi Jonathan teh a hringnae ngai a tho, a due roi nahai kâkapek roi hoeh. Mataw hlak a hue a rang teh sendek hlak a tha ao roi.
Saul and Ionathan were louely and pleasant in their liues, and in their deaths they were not deuided: they were swifter then eagles, they were stronger then lions.
24 Oe Isarel canunaw Sawl hah khui awh haw. Ngai kaawm e hni paling ka khohnat sak e, sui hoi talung aphu kaawm e hoi na ka pathoupkung doeh.
Yee daughters of Israel, weepe for Saul, which clothed you in skarlet, with pleasures, and hanged ornaments of gold vpon your apparel.
25 Taran kâtuknae koe athakaawme taminaw a due awh toe. Oe Jonathan nange karasangpoung e a hmuennaw dawk nang teh na due toe khe.
Howe were the mightie slaine in the mids of the battel! O Ionathan, thou wast slaine in thine hie places.
26 Ka nawngha Jonathan nang dawk ka kângairu. Nang teh ka hui kahawipoung lah na o teh, kai na lungpatawnae teh kângairu, napuinaw lungpataw e a cei takhai.
Wo is me for thee, my brother Ionathan: very kinde hast thou bene vnto me: thy loue to me was wonderfull, passing the loue of women:
27 Thakaawmnaw hai a due awh toe. Tarantuknae senehmaicanaw hoi koung a kahma toe.
howe are the mightie ouerthrowen, and the weapons of warre destroyed!
