1 Kings 2
1 As the time drew near for David to die, he charged his son Solomon,
David lengpa hi a thina ding phat ahung nai phat in aman achapa Solomon chu hiti hin vailhahna ana neipeh in ahi.
2 “I am about to go the way of all the earth. So be strong and prove yourself a man.
“Keima hi Leiset chung’a um mihem jouse phatkhat leh ache cheh na diu mun chu kajot ding ahitai. Nangman hangsan tah in pasal phatah umchan hin th in,
3 And keep the charge of the LORD your God to walk in His ways and to keep His statutes, commandments, ordinances, and decrees, as is written in the Law of Moses, so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you turn,
Pakai na Pathen lungdei lam in hung chon inlang, alampi hin jui jing in, athupeh leh a dan ho Mose Danthu Lekhabu a kisun bang bang in nit jing jengin, chutileh natohna jouse leh na chena jouse’a na lolhin ding ahi.
4 and so that the LORD may fulfill His promise to me: ‘If your descendants take heed to walk faithfully before Me with all their heart and soul, you will never fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.’
Hitia chu na bol leh Pakaiyin kei komma a kitepna jouse chu atohdoh thei ding ahi. Aman ka kom’a ei seipeh chu, nason nachilhah ten a lungthim pumpiu leh kitahna neitah a eijui uva ahi leh keiman Israel laltouna a khat ka tousah jing ding ahi,” eina tipeh in ahi.
5 Moreover, you know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me—what he did to Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether, the two commanders of the armies of Israel. He killed them in peacetime to avenge the blood of war. He stained with the blood of war the belt around his waist and the sandals on his feet.
“Chuleh thildang khat jong aum’e, Zeruiah chapa Joab in ipi ana bol am tichu na hen ahi, aman gal lamkai ni, Ner chapa Abner leh Jether chapa Amasa chu ana that in ahi. Aman gal kisat laiya kithat dana agel vang'in hichu chamna um petna abol joh ahibouve, a konggah leh a kengkoh chu thisan ana matsah in ahi.
6 So act according to your wisdom, and do not let his gray head go down to Sheol in peace. (Sheol h7585)
Hijeh chun ama chung’a hin, phante nati dan dan in hin bolpeh tan, amavang hin lhumsah hih inlang lungmong in alhan mun jotsah hih-in. (Sheol h7585)
7 But show loving devotion to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who eat at your table, because they stood by me when I fled from your brother Absalom.
Gileadna um Barzillai chate chung ah khotona hin musah in, anao chu na ankong ah pan lahsah jengin ajeh chu na sopipa Absalom a kona ka jam lai nikho chun aman eina khohsah lheh-in ahi.
8 Keep an eye on Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim who is with you. He called down bitter curses against me on the day I went to Mahanaim, but when he came down to meet me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the LORD: ‘I will never put you to the sword.’
Chuleh Bahurim a kona Benjamin phungmi Gera chapa Shimei chu geldoh in. Mahamaim lam’a ka jam laijin ama hin nasatah in eina gaosap ahi. Jordan vadunga ei lamto’a ahung chun, keiman Pakaija kihahsel na kana neijin na that ponge kana tin ahi.
9 Now therefore, do not hold him guiltless, for you are a wise man. You know what you ought to do to him to bring his gray head down to Sheol in blood.” (Sheol h7585)
Ahinlah hiche ka kihahselna chun ama them achansah dehpon ahi. Nangma miching nahin chule iloding le thisan naisan pumma lhanmun ajot ding alampi hin got them tan,” ati. (Sheol h7585)
10 Then David rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David.
David chu athitan David khopia chun apu apa tetoh a kivui khom tauvin ahi.
11 The length of David’s reign over Israel was forty years—seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
David chun kum somli vai ana hom in, Hebron ah kum sagi chuleh Jerusalem ah kum somthum le thum vai ana hom in ahi.
12 So Solomon sat on the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was firmly established.
Solomon chun Lengmun ahin lotan apa David laltouna achun ahung tou tan ahi, chuleh a Lenggam chu hoitah in akisuhdet tan ahi.
13 Now Adonijah son of Haggith went to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, and she asked, “Do you come in peace?” “Yes, in peace,” he replied.
Nikhat hi Haggith kitinu chapa Adonijah chu Solomon nu Bethsheba kimupi din ahung in ahi, Bethsheba in, “Chamna lungpu’a na hung hinam?” atileh, amapan jong “Ahinai, chamna dia ka hung ahi,” ati.
14 Then he said, “I have something to tell you.” “Say it,” she answered.
“Tubeh hin keiman na kom ah thum nom khat ka neije” ati. Bethsheba’n jong adonbut in “Ipi ham seijin?” ati.
15 “You know that the kingship was mine,” he said. “All Israel expected that I should reign, but the kingship has turned to my brother, for it has come to him from the LORD.
Adonijah in a donbut in, “Nang in na het bang in hiche Lenggam hi keija ding dol ahi, Israel mipite hin lengmun lo dinga kei ei deiju ahi. Ahin lah thil ahung kilehei jin hiche lenggam hi ka sopipa ahung chang tai, ajeh chu hiche hi Pakai thilgon ahi.
16 So now I have just one request of you; do not deny me.” “State your request,” she told him.
Hijeh chun tun keiman na kom’a thilkhat bou ka thum nom’e, lungset tah in nei it peh hihbeh in” ati. “Ipiham seijin?” tin Bethsheba in anadongin ahi.
17 Adonijah replied, “Please speak to King Solomon, since he will not turn you down. Let him give me Abishag the Shunammite as my wife.”
Aman a donbut in, “Solomon Lengpa kom ah kei thalheng in thu neihin seipeh in ajeh chu aman na thumthum chu na peh jeng ding ahi. Shunem nungahnu Abishag khu ka ji dingin nei thumpeh in” ati.
18 “Very well,” Bathsheba replied. “I will speak to the king for you.”
Bethsheba in asei jin “Henge nange ma khellin lengpa hengah nahin thumpeh nang’e,” ati.
19 So Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. The king stood up to greet her, bowed to her, and sat down on his throne. Then the king had a throne brought for his mother, who sat down at his right hand.
Hiti chun Bethsheba chu Leng Solomon kom ah Adonijah thil thumchu galhut peh dingin achetan ahi. Lengpa chu anu toh kimuto dingin ahung ding doh tan; anu kom achu agah kun in jana apen ahi. Ama atouna a atoukit chun anu touna ding chu ahin gonpeh diuvin thu apen ajet lang’a chun a tousah tan ahi.
20 “I have just one small request of you,” she said. “Do not deny me.” “Make your request, my mother,” the king replied, “for I will not deny you.”
Bethsheba in Solomon jah a, “Thumnom thilneo khat ka neijin nei it peh lou ding ka kinem’e” ati. Hichun Solomon in, “Ipiham Henu seijin ka-itpeh lou ding na het Chula-em,” ati.
21 So Bathsheba said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to your brother Adonijah as his wife.”
“Achutile nasopipa Adonijah dingin Shunem nungah nu khu pe tan,” ati.
22 King Solomon answered his mother, “Why do you request Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Since he is my older brother, you might as well request the kingdom for him and for Abiathar the priest and for Joab son of Zeruiah!”
“Adonijah ding’a iti dana Abishag chu na thum jeng thei ham? Hiche sang a chu, lenggam jeng jong hi nathum jeng leh iti ham? Ama khu ka’u ahi jong nahe in, chuleh Thempu pa Abiather leh Zeruiah chapa Joab jong ama langa pang ahi na hei,” ati.
23 Then King Solomon swore by the LORD: “May God punish me, and ever so severely, if Adonijah has not made this request at the expense of his life.
Chuin Solomon Lengpa chu Pakai min in aki hahsel in “Adonijah in hiche athil thum hi athipi louleh Pathen in kei chung ah akhut lam hen lang ei that jeng hen” ati.
24 And now, as surely as the LORD lives—the One who established me, who set me on the throne of my father David, and who founded for me a dynasty as He promised—surely Adonijah shall be put to death today!”
Pakaiyin kapa David Laltouna a ei tousah a ei suhdet peh a, akitepna bang’a ei inchen sah a, hiche Pakai chu hing jing jeng ahibang in, tuni nikho tah a hi Adonijah thitei tei ding ahi,” atin ahi.
25 So King Solomon sent the order to Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who struck down Adonijah, and he died.
Hiti chun Solomon Lengpan Jehoiada chapa Beniah chu athat din thu apen ahile aman jong Adonijah chu that tai.
26 Then the king said to Abiathar the priest, “Go back to your fields in Anathoth. Even though you deserve to die, I will not put you to death at this time, since you carried the ark of the Lord GOD before my father David, and you suffered through all that my father suffered.”
Hijouchun Lengpan Abiather Thempu komma chun, “Anathoth mun’a na in ah ki nungle tan, nang hi athi ding’a lom tah chu na hitai, ahinla tutu hin nathat jeng pong’e, ajeh chu nang in kapa David dingin Pakai Pathen thingkong chu naput peh in chuleh ahahsat na jouse nana thoh khompi in ahi,” ati.
27 So Solomon banished Abiathar from the priesthood of the LORD and thus fulfilled the word that the LORD had spoken at Shiloh against the house of Eli.
Hiti chun Solomon in Abiather chu Pakai Thempu panmun a konin a haisah in, hiti chun Pakai jin Shiloh a Eli chilhahte chung chang Pakai thu phondoh chu a lolhin sah in ahi.
28 When the news reached Joab, who had conspired with Adonijah but not with Absalom, he fled to the tent of the LORD and took hold of the horns of the altar.
Joab hin Absalom doubolna a chu ana pan louvang in Adonijah doubolna joh chu ana pan pin ahi. Hitia hi Adonijah thi thuhi ajah phat in Pakai ponbuh munthenga maicham saki teni chu aga tuhtan tan ahi.
29 It was reported to King Solomon: “Joab has fled to the tent of the LORD and is now beside the altar.” So Solomon sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, strike him down!”
Hichehi Solomon Lengpa kom a ahetsah phat un aman Jehoiada chapa Beniah chu athat din asol tan ahi.
30 And Benaiah entered the tent of the LORD and said to Joab, “The king says, ‘Come out!’” But Joab replied, “No, I will die here.” So Benaiah relayed the message to the king, saying, “This is how Joab answered me.”
Beniah chu Pakai ponbuh munthenga chun a chen Joab kom a chun “Hiche munna kon chun hungdoh in Leng thupeh ahi” atin ahileh Joab in “Hungdoh pong’e hikom ah thiden tang’e” ati. Hichun Beniah chu ahung kilen Joab thusei chu Lengpa kom ah asei peh tan ahileh,
31 And the king replied, “Do just as he says. Strike him down and bury him, and so remove from me and from the house of my father the innocent blood that Joab shed.
“Ama seibang chun boltan” ati. Lengpan “Maicham munna chun hin thatdoh inlang hin vuitan,” ati. “Hichun Joab in ajeh beija thisan asona ho chu kei leh kapa insung ah thepmo na hin sutheng tan te,” ati.
32 The LORD will bring his bloodshed back upon his own head, for without the knowledge of my father David he struck down two men more righteous and better than he when he put to the sword Abner son of Ner, commander of Israel’s army, and Amasa son of Jether, commander of Judah’s army.
“Ama sanga phajo le chonpha jo chuleh kitah jo mini athana phu chu Pakaiyin lethuh nante, ajeh chu aman Israel sepaite lamkai Ner chapa Abner leh Judahh sepaite lamkai Jether chapa amasa atha chu kapa’n ana hetphah lou ahi.
33 Their blood will come back upon the heads of Joab and his descendants forever; but for David, his descendants, his house, and his throne, there shall be peace from the LORD forever.”
Athisan phu chu Joab leh ason apah ho chung ah a tonsot'in chu jeng hen lang amavang David leh a chilhah chung leh alal touna chung ah atonsot nin Pakaiyin chamna pejing tahen,” ati.
34 So Benaiah son of Jehoiada went up, struck down Joab, and killed him. He was buried at his own home in the wilderness.
Hichun Jehoiada chapa Beniah chu achekit in ponbuh theng maicham munna chun Joab chu athat in, chule gam mang lam a ain muna chun ahin vuitan ahi.
35 And the king appointed Benaiah son of Jehoiada in Joab’s place over the army, and he appointed Zadok the priest in Abiathar’s place.
Hijou chun Lengpan Beniah chu Joab khel in sepai lamkai jin apansah tan, chuleh Abiather khel in Zadok chu thempu in a pansah tan ahi.
36 Then the king summoned Shimei and said to him, “Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem and live there, but do not go anywhere else.
Chuin Lengpan Shimei chu aga kousah in a seipeh tan ahi, “Jerusalem ahin in kisah inlang cheng tan. Ahinla hiche khopia kona hin mun chom’a potdoh hihin,
37 On the day you go out and cross the Kidron Valley, know for sure that you will die; your blood will be on your own head.”
Nang in Kidron phaicham nahin khokhel poupou le hiche nikho nile nathi teitei ding ahi, chule hiche nathisan phu chu nangme le nangman nakipoh ding ahi,” ati.
38 “The sentence is fair,” Shimei replied. “Your servant will do as my lord the king has spoken.” And Shimei lived in Jerusalem for a long time.
Shimei in, “Na thutan chu adih e ken jong kapu Lengpan nasei dungjuija ka chon ding ahi tai,” ati. Hiti chun Shimei chu Jerusalem ah phat sottah achengin ahi.
39 After three years, however, two of Shimei’s slaves ran away to Achish son of Maacah, king of Gath. And Shimei was told, “Look, your slaves are in Gath.”
Ahin kum thum jouvin asoh teni ajamdoh lhon in Gath khoa Maacah chapa Achisah kom ah ajam lut lhon tan ahi, Shimei in aum na lhon ahet doh phat in,
40 So Shimei saddled his donkey and set out to Achish at Gath in search of his slaves, and he brought them back from Gath.
Sangan chung ah atoudoh in asoh teni hol in Gath ah achen aga hol doh in amu phat in Jerusalem ah ahin puilut kit tai.
41 When Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had returned,
Solomon chun Shimei in Jerusalem a dalhan apotdoh in Gath aga pha in ahung kile kit tai tin aja tan ahi.
42 the king summoned Shimei and said to him, “Did I not make you swear by the LORD and warn you, ‘On the day you leave and go elsewhere, know for sure that you will die’? And you told me, ‘The sentence is fair; I will comply.’
Hijeh chun Lengpan Shimei chu aga kousah in, “Keiman nangma hi na potdoh louhel ding na potdoh poupouleh na thitei tei ding ahi tia Pakai minna ka kitep sah nahi lou ham? Hiche a chun nang in jong na thutan chu adih’e, na sei dungjuija ka chon ding ahi nati hilou ham?
43 So why have you not kept your oath to the LORD and the command that I gave you?”
Ahileh tua hi nang in ibol’a nang in ka thupeh nit ding’a Pakai minna na kitepna na nit lou ham?” atitan ahi.
44 The king also said, “You know in your heart all the evil that you did to my father David. Therefore the LORD will bring your evil back upon your head.
Lengpan Shemei kom ah asei be’n, “Nang in kapa David chung’a thil gilou tah nana bol chu na geldoh em? Pakaiyin na thilse bol chu na luchung’a chuh sah tahen!
45 But King Solomon will be blessed and David’s throne will remain secure before the LORD forever.”
Ahinlah keima Leng Solomon in Pakai phattheiboh chu mu jing ingting chuleh David son khat Pakai anga Lal touna a hin tou jeng hen” ati.
46 Then the king commanded Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he went out and struck Shimei down, and he died. Thus the kingdom was firmly established in the hand of Solomon.
Hichun lengpan athu apeh dung jui jin Jehoiada chapa Beniah in Shimei chu polang’a a puidoh in athat tai. Hiti hin Lenggam chu Solomon khut noi ah a detchet tan ahi.
