2 Samuel 4
1 When Saul’s son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.
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.
2 Saul’s son had two men who were captains of raiding bands. The name of one was Baanah and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin (for Beeroth also is considered a part of Benjamin;
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.
3 and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have lived as foreigners there until today).
Beerothnaw teh Gittaim vah a yawng awh teh, atu sittouh haw vah ao awh.
4 Now Jonathan, Saul’s son, had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the news came about Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel; and his nurse picked him up and fled. As she hurried to flee, he fell and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.
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.
5 The sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went out and came at about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth as he took his rest at noon.
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.
6 They came there into the middle of the house as though they would have fetched wheat, and they struck him in the body; and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
Haw e hmaunawngha Rekhab hoi Baanah teh, cakang ka lat hane patetlah a kâsak roi teh im lungui a kâen roi.
7 Now when they came into the house as he lay on his bed in his bedroom, they struck him, killed him, beheaded him, and took his head, and went by the way of the Arabah all night.
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.
8 They brought the head of Ishbosheth to David to Hebron, and said to the king, “Behold, the head of Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life! The LORD has avenged my lord the king today of Saul and of his offspring.”
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.
9 David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, “As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
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,
10 when someone told me, ‘Behold, Saul is dead,’ thinking that he brought good news, I seized him and killed him in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news.
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.
11 How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house on his bed, should I not now require his blood from your hand, and rid the earth of you?”
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.
12 David commanded his young men, and they killed them, cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth and buried it in Abner’s grave in Hebron.
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.
