2 Samuel 16
1 When David had gone a little beyond the summit, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth was there to meet him. He had a pair of saddled donkeys loaded with two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred clusters of raisins, a hundred summer fruits, and a skin of wine.
Devit ni monsom kuet a tapoung navah, Mephibosheth e a san Ziba ni a dawn nahan la kahni touh a rakueng. Vaiyei tueng 200, misur bom ka ke e 100, thaibunglung paw 100, touh hoi misur um buet touh la dawk a phu sak.
2 “Why do you have these?” asked the king. Ziba replied, “The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride, the bread and summer fruit are for the young men to eat, and the wine is to refresh those who become exhausted in the wilderness.”
Siangpahrang ni Ziba koevah, bangtelah na sak hane maw hete hno heh na sin atipouh. Ziba ni la heh siangpahrang imthung a kâcui nahane, vaiyei hoi a pawnaw teh thoundounnaw ni a ca hane, misurtui hai kahrawngum a tha katawnnaw ni a nei hane doeh telah atipouh.
3 “Where is your master’s grandson?” asked the king. And Ziba answered, “Indeed, he is staying in Jerusalem, for he has said, ‘Today, the house of Israel will restore to me the kingdom of my grandfather.’”
Siangpahrang ni na bawipa e capa hah namaw ao telah a pacei. Ziba ni Jerusalem kho dawk ao. Sahnin vah Isarelnaw ni apa e uknae hah na poe han telah ati doeh na a telah atipouh.
4 So the king said to Ziba, “All that belongs to Mephibosheth is now yours!” “I humbly bow before you,” said Ziba. “May I find favor in your eyes, my lord the king!”
Siangpahrang ni Ziba koe vah Mephibosheth ni a tawn e hno pueng nange lah ao toe telah atipouh. Ziba ni na hmalah kârahnoum laihoi ka tho. Oe siangpahrang ka bawipa, na minhmai kahawi ka hmu thai nahan pou kâyawm han telah atipouh.
5 As King David approached Bahurim, a man from the family of the house of Saul was just coming out. His name was Shimei son of Gera, and as he approached, he kept yelling out curses.
Devit siangpahrang teh Bahurim kho a pha toteh, Sawl imthung Gera capa a min Shimei teh thoebo laihoi a tho.
6 He threw stones at David and at all the servants of the king, though the troops and all the mighty men were on David’s right and left.
Devit hoi siangpahrang e a sannaw hah talung hoi a dêi awh. Taminaw hoi athakaawme taminaw teh avoilah aranglah ao awh.
7 And as he yelled curses, Shimei said, “Get out, get out, you worthless man of bloodshed!
Shimei ni thoebo nalaihoi cet leih khe, cet leih khe, nange thi ka palawng e hoi tamikayon,
8 The LORD has paid you back for all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned, and the LORD has delivered the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. See, you have come to ruin because you are a man of bloodshed!”
Sawl e a uknae a la teh, Sawl imthung e a thi paling nange na lû dawk BAWIPA ni a pha sak teh, a uknaeram teh na capa Absalom a poe toe. Thi ka palawng e lah na o dawkvah, namahoima runae na kâpoe e doeh telah atipouh.
9 Then Abishai son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and cut off his head!”
Zeruiah capa Abishai ni siangpahrang koevah, bangkongmaw ui ro ni ka bawipa thoe a bo. A lû ka tâtueng pouh han telah atipouh.
10 But the king replied, “What have I to do with you, O sons of Zeruiah? If he curses me because the LORD told him, ‘Curse David,’ who can ask, ‘Why did you do this?’”
Siangpahrang ni nangmouh Zeruiah capanaw, nangmanaw hoi kai teh bangpuibangpa nahoeh. BAWIPA ni Devit hah thoebo lah awmseh, telah ahni koe lawk thui pawiteh thoebo yawkaw naseh. Hatdawkvah, bangkongmaw hettelah na sak telah apinihai tet pouh mahoeh toe.
11 Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Behold, my own son, my own flesh and blood, seeks my life. How much more, then, this Benjamite! Leave him alone and let him curse me, for the LORD has told him so.
Devit ni Abishai hoi a sannaw koe, ka thung hoi ka tâcawt e ka capa ni, thei hanelah na noung pawiteh, Benjamin miphunnaw ni hothlak thei han na noung han doeh. Bangtelah hai tet awh hanh. Thoe na bo yawkaw naseh. BAWIPA ni a sak sak e doeh.
12 Perhaps the LORD will see my affliction and repay me with good for the cursing I receive today.”
BAWIPA ni ka rucatnae a hmu vaiteh, ahni ni thoe na bo e heh ahawinae koe lahoi BAWIPA ni na pathung e lahai ao han telah Abishai hoi a sannaw koe a dei pouh.
13 So David and his men proceeded along the road as Shimei went along the ridge of the hill opposite him. As Shimei went, he yelled curses, threw stones, and flung dust at David.
Devit hoi a taminaw teh lam dawk a cei awh lahun navah, Shimei teh Devit hoi phekkadangka lah mon langboung a cei teh, thoebo nalaihoi talung hoi a dei teh, vaiphu a kahei sin.
14 Finally, the king and all the people with him arrived, exhausted. And there he refreshed himself.
Siangpahrang hoi a hnukkâbangnaw teh a tawn poung awh. Jordan tui koe a pha awh teh a kâhat awh.
15 Then Absalom and all the men of Israel came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.
Absalom hoi a taminaw pueng Jerusalem kho a pha awh teh, ahni koe Ahithophel hah ao.
16 And David’s friend Hushai the Archite went to Absalom and said to him, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”
Devit e a hui Arki tami Hushai teh Absalom koe a pha toteh, Hushai ni Absalom koevah, siangpahrang na hring saw naseh, siangpahrang na hring saw naseh telah yawhawinae a poe.
17 “Is this the loyalty you show your friend?” Absalom replied. “Why did you not go with your friend?”
Absalom ni Hushai koevah, hettelamaw na hui na lungpataw, bangkongmaw na hui koe na cei hoeh telah ati.
18 “Not at all,” Hushai answered. “For the one chosen by the LORD, by the people, and by all the men of Israel—his I will be, and with him I will remain.
Hushai ni Absalom koevah, ka cet mahoeh, Cathut ama hoi ahnimouh Isarelnaw ni a rawi awh e koe a san lah ka o han, ahni koe ka o han atipouh.
19 Furthermore, whom should I serve if not the son? As I served in your father’s presence, so also I will serve in yours.”
Apie thaw maw ka tawk han. A capa koe thaw ka tawk han nahoehmaw. Na pa e hmalah thaw ka tawk e patetlah nange hmalah ka tawk han telah atipouh.
20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give me counsel. What should we do?”
Absalom ni Ahithophel koe bangtelamaw ka sak han, pouknae na poe haw telah atipouh.
21 Ahithophel replied, “Sleep with your father’s concubines, whom he has left to keep the palace. When all Israel hears that you have become a stench to your father, then the hands of all who are with you will be strengthened.”
Ahithophel ni na pa e a yudo im karingkungnaw a ta e naw koe kâen sin. Isarelnaw ni na pa ni na maithoe tie panuek awh vaiteh, nang koe kaawm e naw e kut teh a tha a sai awh han atipouh.
22 So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and he slept with his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.
Hottelah imvan vah Absalom hanelah rim a sak pouh awh. Hottelah Isarelnaw e a hmaitung vah, a na pa e yudonaw koe a kâen.
23 Now in those days the advice of Ahithophel was like the consultation of the word of God. Such was the regard that both David and Absalom had for Ahithophel’s advice.
Hatnae tueng nah Ahithophel ni pouknae a poe e teh, Cathut lawk patetlah ouk pouk pouh e lah ao. Hot patetlah Ahithophel ni Devit hoi Absalom pouknae a poe e pueng teh, pouk pouh e lah ao.
