1 Kings 2
1 Now the days of David drew near that he should die. And he charged Solomon his son, saying,
David duekhaih tue zoi aep boeh pongah, a capa Solomon khaeah lokthuih pae,
2 I am going the way of all the earth. Be thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man,
long boih mah caehhaih loklam bangah ka caeh tom boeh pongah, na tha caksak loe, nongpa taang baktih khosah ah.
3 and keep the charge of Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and his testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that thou may prosper in all that thou do, and wherever thou turn thyself.
Na Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih ih hmuen to sah ah; anih ih kaaloknawk, a paek ih daannawk, a thuih ih loknawk, a lokcaekhaihnawk to pazuih loe, a loklam ah caeh ah; Mosi ih daan cabu thungah tarik ih lokpaekhaihnawk to pazui ah; to tiah nahaeloe na caehhaih ahmuen kruekah na sak ih hmuen to akoep boih tih;
4 That Jehovah may establish his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, If thy sons take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee a man on the throne of Israel.
Angraeng mah kai khaeah, Na caanawk loe a caeh o haih loklam ah acoe o moe, poekhaih boih, palungthin boih hoiah ka hmaa ah caeh o nahaeloe, Israel angraeng tangkhang pongah anghnu kami apet mak ai, tiah thuih ih lok to caksak poe tih.
5 Moreover thou also know what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, even what he did to the two captains of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his belt that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.
Vaihi Zeruiah capa Joab mah, ka nuiah sak ih hmuen hoi Israel misatuh angraeng, Ner capa Abner hoi Jether capa Amasa hnik khaeah sak ih hmuen to na panoek; misa kamongah oh naah nihnik to a hum moe, misa angtuk nathuem ih baktih toengah kami ih athii to longsak, to kami ih athii to angmah angzaeng ih kaengkaeh hoi a khokpanai pongah akap vop.
6 Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and do not let his hoar head go down to Sheol in peace. (Sheol h7585)
Na tawnh ih palunghahaih baktih toengah a nuiah sah ah; sampok anih ih lu to amding rue ah taprong thungah caeh tathuk hmah nasoe. (Sheol h7585)
7 But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those who eat at thy table, for so they came to me when I fled from Absalom thy brother.
Toe Gilead kami Barzilai capanawk nuiah tahmenhaih tawn ah; na caboi pongah buhcaa kaminawk salakah athumsak ah; namya Absalom pongah ka cawnh naah, nihnik mah ni kai angsak haih.
8 And, behold, there is with thee Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim. But he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by Jehovah, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.
To pacoengah khenah, Bahurim ih Benjamin acaeng, Gera capa Shimei loe na taengah oh, tiah panoek ah; Mahanaim ah ka caeh naah, kai to paroeai kasae ang padaeng; toe anih mah kai hnuk hanah Jordan vapui ah angzoh naah, anih to sumsen hoi kang hum mak ai, tiah anih khaeah Angraeng ih ahmin hoiah lokkamhaih ka sak.
9 Now therefore do not hold him guiltless, for thou are a wise man, and thou will know what thou ought to do to him, and thou shall bring his hoar head down to Sheol with blood. (Sheol h7585)
Anih loe vaihi zaehaih tawn ai boeh, tiah poek hmah; nang loe palungha kami ah na oh; anih nuiah kawbawngmaw sak han, tiah na panoek; sampok anih ih lu to athii hoi nawnto taprong thungah caehsak hmaek ah, tiah a naa. (Sheol h7585)
10 And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
To pacoengah David loe ampanawk khaeah anghak moe, David vangpui ah aphum o.
11 And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years. He reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
David loe Israel kaminawk nuiah saning quipalito thung siangpahrang ah oh; Hebron vangpui ah saning sarihto thung siangpahrang ah oh moe, Jerusalem ah saning quithum, thumto thung siangpahrang ah oh.
12 And Solomon sat upon the throne of David his father, and his kingdom was established greatly.
To pongah Solomon loe ampa David ih angraeng tangkhang nuiah anghnut; a ukhaih prae loe cak poe.
13 Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Do thou come peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.
Haggith capa Adonijah loe Solomon amno Bathsheba khaeah caeh. To naah Bathsheba mah misa monghaih hoiah maw nang zoh? tiah a naa. Anih mah, Ue, kamongah ni kang zoh, tiah pathim pae.
14 He said moreover, I have something to say to thee. And she said, Say on.
Adonijah mah nang khaeah lokthuih han ka koeh, tiah a naa let. To naah Bathsheba mah thui khae, tiah a naa.
15 And he said, Thou know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign. However the kingdom is turned about, and has become my brother's, for it was his from Jehovah.
Anih mah, Na panoek baktih toengah prae loe kai ih ni; Israel kaminawk boih mah prae uk hanah kai ni ang khet o; toe prae loe angqoi moe, kamnawk ih prae ah oh; Angraeng mah prae to anih hanah paek boeh.
16 And now I ask one petition of thee; do not deny me. And she said to him, Say on.
Vaihi hmuen maeto hnik han ka koeh; na kang hmah, tiah a naa. To naah anih mah, hni khae, tiah a naa.
17 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, to Solomon the king (for he will not say no thee), that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.
To pongah anih mah, (nang han loe paawt mak ai); Solomon siangpahrang khaeah, Sunam kami Abishag to ka zu ah paek hanah na hni paeh, tiah a naa.
18 And Bathsheba said, Well, I will speak for thee to the king.
Bathsheba mah, Hoih, siangpahrang khaeah nang han lok kang thuih pae han hmang, tiah a naa.
19 Bathsheba therefore went to king Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself to her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a throne to be set for the king's mother. And she sat on his right hand.
Bathsheba loe Adonijah kawng thuih pae hanah Solomon siangpahrang khaeah caeh. Siangpahrang loe amno tongh hanah, angthawk moe, amno hmaa ah cangkrawn pacoengah, angmah ih angraeng tangkhang nuiah anghnut; siangpaharng amno hanah anghnuthaih maeto sinh pae o, amno to siangpahrang bantang bangah anghnutsak.
20 Then she said, I ask one small petition of thee; do not deny me. And the king said to her, Ask on, my mother, for I will not deny thee.
Nang khaeah hmuen tetta hnik ka koeh, na kang hmah, tiah a naa. Siangpahrang mah, Kamno na hni khae, nang han loe ka paawt mak ai, tiah a naa.
21 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.
To naah amno mah, Sunam kami Abishag to namya Adonijah han zu ah paek halat khae, tiah a naa.
22 And king Solomon answered and said to his mother, And why do thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also, for he is my elder brother, even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.
Solomon siangpahrang mah amno khaeah, Tipongah Sunam kami Abishag to Adonijah hanah nang hnik pae loe? Prae doeh hni paeh, anih loe kamya ni; anih pacoengah, qaima Abiathar hoi Zeruiah capa Joab han doeh hni paeh, tiah a naa.
23 Then king Solomon swore by Jehovah, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life.
To naah Solomon siangpahrang mah, Adonijah mah hnik ih hmuen to anih duekhaih hoiah ka pathok ai nahaeloe, Sithaw mah ka nuiah lokcaek nasoe, tiah Angraeng ih ahmin hoiah lokkamhaih a sak.
24 Now therefore as Jehovah lives, who has established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house as he promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death this day.
To pongah vaihi kampa David ih angraeng tangkhang pongah, kacakah anghnusakkung, a thuih ih lok baktiah a prae caksakkung, Angraeng loe hing pongah, Adonijah to vaihni roe ah hum oh, tiah a naa.
25 And king Solomon sent by Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he fell upon him so that he died.
Solomon siangpahrang mah Jehoiada capa Benaiah khaeah lokpaek, anih mah Adonijah to takroek moe, a duek.
26 And the king said to Abiathar the priest, Get thee to Anathoth, to thine own fields, for thou are worthy of death. But I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou bore the ark of the lord Jehovah before David my father, and because thou were afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.
Siangpahrang mah qaima Abiathar khaeah, Anathoth ih nangmah ih lawk ah amlaem ah; na duek han oh boeh; toe kampa David hmaa ah Angraeng Sithaw ih thingkhong to na put moe, kampa raihaihnawk boih na pauep haih pongah, vaihniah nang hae kang hum mak ai, tiah a naa.
27 So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest to Jehovah, that he might fulfill the word of Jehovah, which he spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
To pongah Solomon mah Abiathar to Angraeng toksakhaih ahmuen hoiah takhoe ving; Shiloh ih Eli imthung takoh kawng pongah Angraeng mah thuih ih lok to akoep boeh.
28 And the news came to Joab, for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he did not turn after Absalom. And Joab fled to the tent of Jehovah, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
To ih tamthang to Joab khaeah phak; anih loe Absalom hnukah bang ai; toe Adonijah hnukah bang pongah, Angraeng ih kahni im ohhaih bangah cawnh moe, hmaicam ih takii to patawnh caeng.
29 And it was told king Solomon, Joab has fled to the tent of Jehovah, and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.
Joab loe Angraeng ih kahni im ohhaih bangah cawnh moe, hmaicam to patawnh caeng, tiah Solomon khaeah thuih pae o; to naah Solomon mah, Jehoiada capa Benaiah khaeah, Caeh loe, hum ah, tiah a naa.
30 And Benaiah came to the tent of Jehovah, and said to him, Thus says the king, Come forth. And he said, No, but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.
Benaiah loe Angraeng ih kahni imthungah akun moe, Joab khaeah, Siangpahrang mah ang kawk, tiah a naa. Toe anih mah, Kang zo mak ai, hae ah ka duek han, tiah a naa. To naah Benaiah mah siangpahrang khaeah, Joab mah hae tiah ang naa, tiah a thuih pae let.
31 And the king said to him, Do as he has said, and fall upon him, and bury him, that thou may take away the blood, which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my father's house.
Siangpahrang mah Benaiah khaeah, A thuih ih lok baktiah sah ah; anih to humh loe aphum ah; Joab mah longsak ih zaehaih tawn ai kami athii to kai hoi kampa ih imthung hoiah ciimsak ah.
32 And Jehovah will return his blood upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and killed them with the sword, and my father David did not know it, namely, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the army of Judah.
Anih loe angmah pongah katoeng, kahoih kue, Israel misatuh angraeng Ner capa Abner hoi Judah misatuh angraeng Jether capa Amasa to kampa David panoek ai ah hum, to tiah humhaih atho to Angraeng mah a lu nuiah krahsak let nasoe.
33 So shall their blood return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed forever. But to David, and to his seed, and to his house, and to his throne, there shall be peace forever from Jehovah.
A zaehaih athii tho loe Joab hoi a caanawk nuiah dungzan khoek to om nasoe; toe David hoi anih ih caanawk, anih ih im hoi anih ih angraeng tangkhang nuiah loe, dungzan khoek to Angraeng monghaih to om nasoe, tiah a naa.
34 Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and killed him. And he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
To pongah Jehoiada capa Benaiah loe caeh tahang; Joab to takroek moe, a hum; anih to praezaek ah kaom angmah im ah aphum o.
35 And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the army. And the king put Zadok the priest in the place of Abiathar.
Siangpahrang mah Jehoiada capa Benaiah to Joab zuengah misatuh angraeng ah suek moe, Abiathar zuengah Zodok to qaima ah suek.
36 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Build for thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth from there anywhere.
Siangpahrang mah Shimei khaeah kami patoeh moe, anih khaeah, Jerusalem vangpui ah im to sah loe, to ah khosah ah; naa bangah doeh caeh hmah, tiah a naa.
37 For on the day thou go out, and pass over the brook Kidron, know thou for certain that thou shall surely die; thy blood shall be upon thine own head.
Na caehhaih ni hoi Kidron vacong na poenghaih ni loe, na duekhaih niah om tih; na thii loe na lu nuiah krah tih, tiah a naa.
38 And Shimei said to the king, The saying is good. As my lord the king has said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
Shimei mah siangpahrang khaeah, Na thuih ih lok loe hoih; ka angraeng siangpahrang mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, na tamna kai mah ka sak han, tiah a naa. To pongah Shimei loe Jerusalem ah saning kasawkah oh.
39 And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants are in Gath.
Toe Shimei ih tamna hnetto loe saning thumto boeng pacoengah, Gath siangpahrang, Maakah capa Akhish khaeah cawnh hoi ving. To pongah nihcae mah Shimei khaeah, Khenah, na tamna hnik loe Gath ah oh hoi, tiah thuih pae o.
40 And Shimei arose, and saddled his donkey, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants. And Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.
Shimei loe angthawk moe, angmah ih laa hrang to angthueng pacoengah, a tamna hnik pakrong hanah, Gath prae Akhish ah caeh: Shimei loe caeh moe, a tamna hnik to Gath hoiah hoih let.
41 And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again.
Shimei loe Jerusalem vangpui hoi Gath ah caeh moe, amlaem let boeh, tiah Solomon khaeah thuih pae o.
42 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Did I not adjure thee by Jehovah, and protest to thee, saying, Know for certain, that on the day thou go out, and walk abroad anywhere, thou shall surely die? And thou said to me, The saying that I have heard is good.
Siangpahrang mah Shimei to kawksak moe, anih khaeah, Vangpui tasa bang hoi ahmuen kalah bangah na caeh nahaeloe, na caehhaih ni roe ah na dueh tih, tiah Angraeng ih ahmin hoiah lokkkamhaih kang saksak moe, acoehaih lok kang paek boeh na ai maw? To tiah ka sak naah nangmah doeh kai khaeah, Na thuih ih lok loe hoih, na lok ka tahngaih han, tiah na thuih na ai maw?
43 Why then have thou not kept the oath of Jehovah, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?
Tipongah Angraeng khaeah lokkamhaih akoepsak hanah, kang paek ih lok to na pazui ai loe? tiah a naa.
44 The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou know all the iniquity which thy heart is privy to, what thou did to David my father. Therefore Jehovah shall return thy iniquity upon thine own head.
Siangpahrang mah Shimei khaeah, Na koeh baktiah kampa David khaeah na sak ih zaehaih to palung thung hoiah na panoek; to pongah na sakpazaehaih hmuen to vaihi Angraeng mah na lu nuiah krahsak let tih.
45 But king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before Jehovah forever.
Toe Solomon siangpahrang loe tahamhoihaih hnu tih, David ih angraeng tangkhang loe Angraeng hmaa ah dungzan ah cak poe tih, tiah a naa.
46 So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And he went out, and fell upon him so that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
To pongah siangpahrang mah Jehoiada capa Benaiah khaeah lokpaek; anih loe caeh moe, Shimei to takroek, anih loe duek. Prae loe Solomon ih ban ah cak poe.
