< 2 Samuel 21 >

1 And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of Jehovah. And Jehovah said, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put to death the Gibeonites.
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.
2 And the king called the Gibeonites, and spoke to them (now the Gibeonites were not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, and the sons of Israel had sworn to them, and yet Saul sought to kill them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah),
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.
3 and David said to the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? And with what shall I make atonement that ye may bless the inheritance of Jehovah?
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.
4 And 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. And he said, What ye shall say, that I will do for you.
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.
5 And they said to the king, The man who consumed us, and who devised against us, that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel,
Ahnimouh ni siangpahrang thei hane ka kâcai e hoi Isarel ram roeroe dawk ao hoeh nahanelah, na kayouknaw,
6 let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them up to Jehovah in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Jehovah. And the king said, I will give them.
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.
7 But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of Jehovah's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
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.
8 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.
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,
9 And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites. And they hanged them in the mountain before Jehovah, and they fell all seven together. And they were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest.
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.
10 And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water was poured upon them from heaven. And she neither allowed the birds of the heaven to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
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.
11 And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
Aiah canu Sawl e a yudo Rizpah hno a sak e Devit koe a dei pouh awh.
12 And 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,
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.
13 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.
Hote hmuen koehoi Sawl hoi Jonathan e a hru a ceikhai awh teh, a bang awh e hru hai a la awh.
14 And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the sepulcher of Kish his father. And they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was entreated for the land.
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.
15 And the Philistines had war again with Israel. And David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. And David grew faint,
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.
16 and Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David.
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.
17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, Thou shall no more go out with us to battle, that thou not quench the lamp of Israel.
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.
18 And it came to pass after this, that there was again war with the Philistines at Gob. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was of the sons of the giant.
Goba kho vah, Filistinnaw a tuk awh navah, Hushath tami Sibbekhai ni Ephraim miphun Saph hah a thei.
19 And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob. And Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
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.
20 And there was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature who had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, twenty-four in number, and he also was born to the giant.
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.
21 And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David's brother, killed him.
Isarelnaw a tuk navah, Devit e a hmau Shimei capa Jonathan ni ahni hah a thei.
22 These four were born to the giant in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
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.
