2 Samuel 19
1 Then it was reported to Joab, “The king is weeping and mourning over Absalom.”
Siangpahrang teh Absalom hanelah a khui a ka tie Joab koe a dei pouh awh.
2 And that day’s victory was turned into mourning for all the people, because on that day they were told, “The king is grieving over his son.”
Hot hnin e tânae teh tami pueng hanelah lungmathoe nahanelah doeh ao. Siangpahrang ni a capa pou a khuikakhai tie hah a thai awh.
3 So they returned to the city quietly that day, as people steal away in humiliation after fleeing a battle.
Tarantuknae koehoi ka yawng e naw ni kayanae lahoi khothung duem a kâen awh e patetlah hot hnin navah arulahoi khothung duem a kâen awh.
4 But the king covered his face and cried out at the top of his voice, “O my son Absalom! O Absalom, my son, my son!”
Siangpahrang ni a minhmai a ramuk teh, Oe ka capa Absalom, Oe Absalom, ka capa, ka capa telah kacaipounglah a khuika.
5 Then Joab went into the house and said to the king, “Today you have disgraced all your servants who have saved your life and the lives of your sons and daughters, of your wives, and of your concubines.
Joab ni siangpahrang koe a cei teh, imthungkhu a kâen, na hringnae na canu na capa a hringnae hoi na yu hoi na yudonaw a hringnae karungngangnaw hah sahnin vah na kaya sak awh toe.
6 You love those who hate you and hate those who love you! For you have made it clear today that the commanders and soldiers mean nothing to you. I know today that if Absalom were alive and all of us were dead, it would have pleased you!
Nang na kamaithoenaw lung na pataw teh, nang lungpataw naw law teh na maithoe toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kacuenaw hoi ransanaw teh nama hanelah bang hoeh lah sahnin na kamnue sak. Absalom hring pawiteh, kaimanaw hah sahnin be kadout awh pawiteh, na lung a hawi han doeh telah sahnin ka hmunae lah ao atipouh.
7 Now therefore get up! Go out and speak comfort to your servants, for I swear by the LORD that if you do not go out, not a man will remain with you tonight. This will be worse for you than all the adversity that has befallen you from your youth until now!”
Thaw nateh alawilah tâcawt nateh, na sannaw hnâroumnae lawk dei pouh leih. Na tâcawt hoehpawiteh, tami buet touh hai atu tangmin nang koe kaawm awh mahoeh toe. Hote hno teh na nawca hoi sahnin totouh nang dawk kaawm e hlak hoe kathout han, telah BAWIPA thoebo laihoi ka dei telah atipouh.
8 So the king got up and sat in the gate, and all the people were told: “Behold, the king is sitting in the gate.” So they all came before the king. Meanwhile, the Israelites had fled, each man to his home.
Siangpahrang teh a thaw teh, rapan longkha koe a tahung. Siangpahrang rapan longkha koe a tahung e taminaw ni a thai awh toteh, ahni koe a cei awh. Isarelnaw teh amamae rim koelah be a kâran awh.
9 And all the people throughout the tribes of Israel were arguing, “The king rescued us from the hand of our enemies and delivered us from the hand of the Philistines, but now he has fled the land because of Absalom.
Isarel miphunnaw dawk buet touh hoi buet touh kâounnae ao. Siangpahrang ni taran kut dawk hoi na rungngang. Filistinnaw e kut dawk thung hoi na rungngang. Atuvah Absalom kecu dawk ram thung hoi a yawng.
10 But Absalom, the man we anointed over us, has died in battle. So why do you say nothing about restoring the king?”
Maimouh ni satui awi awh e Absalom teh tarantuknae koe a due toe. Bangkongmaw siangpahrang bout bankhai awh hane na dei awh hoeh. Bangkong lawkkamuem lah na o awh telah a kâpakung awh.
11 Then King David sent this message to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests: “Say to the elders of Judah, ‘Why should you be the last to restore the king to his palace, since the talk of all Israel has reached the king at his quarters?
Siangpahrang Devit ni vaihma Zadok hoi Abiathar koe, Judah kacuenaw koe bangkongmaw siangpahrang hah a im lah ceisak hane, bangkong hnuk na teng awh. Isarelnaw ni a dei awh e lawk patenghai siangpahrang koe a pha teh a thai toe.
12 You are my brothers, my own flesh and blood. So why should you be the last to restore the king?’
Nangmanaw teh ka hmaunawngha ka hru, ka tak doeh. Siangpahrang koe bout thaisak hane hah bangkong hnuk na teng awh.
13 And say to Amasa, ‘Aren’t you my flesh and blood? May God punish me, and ever so severely, if from this time you are not the commander of my army in place of Joab!’”
Amasa koevah, nang hah kaie ka hru, ka tak lah na awm hoeh maw. Joab yueng lah ka hmaitung ransabawi lah na awm sak hoehpawiteh, Cathut ni ahawi ati e patetlah kai dawk sak naseh, telah dei pouh awh, telah tami a patoun.
14 So he swayed the hearts of all the men of Judah as though they were one man, and they sent word to the king: “Return, you and all your servants.”
Hottelah Judah miphunnaw hah lungthin buet touh e patetlah ao sak. Siangpahrang koevah, a taminaw hoi ban awh telah dei pouh hanelah taminaw hah a patoun.
15 So the king returned, and when he arrived at the Jordan, the men of Judah came to Gilgal to meet him and escort him across the Jordan.
Siangpahrang teh a ban teh, Jordan tui koe a pha. Judahnaw ni siangpahrang a dawn awh teh, Jordan tui namran lah thak hanelah Gilgal kho koelah a cei awh.
16 Then Shimei son of Gera, a Benjamite from Bahurim, hurried down with the men of Judah to meet King David,
Benjamin miphun Bahurim kho e tami Gera capa Shimei teh karanglah siangpahrang dawn hanelah Judahnaw koe a cei van.
17 along with a thousand men of Benjamin, as well as Ziba the steward of the house of Saul and his fifteen sons and twenty servants. They rushed down to the Jordan before the king
Benjamin miphun 1, 000, Sawl imthung e a san Ziba hoi a capa 15 touh hoi a san 20 touh a tho awh teh, siangpahrang e a hmaitung vah Jordan tui a raka awh.
18 and crossed at the ford to carry over the king’s household and to do what was good in his sight. When Shimei son of Gera crossed the Jordan, he fell down before the king
Siangpahrang imthungnaw a thak sak nahanelah, a panki e sak nahanelah, a ceikhai awh. Jordan tui a raka awh navah, Gera capa Shimei teh siangpahrang hmalah a tabo.
19 and said, “My lord, do not hold me guilty, and do not remember your servant’s wrongdoing on the day my lord the king left Jerusalem. May the king not take it to heart.
Ka bawipa ni payonnae ka tawn e lah na pouk hanh naseh. Siangpahrang ka bawipa ni Jerusalem a tâcotakhai hnin vah, na san ni kalan hoeh e lah sak e hah, na pâkuem pouh hanh. Siangpahrang ni a lung dawk pâkuem hanh naseh.
20 For your servant knows that I have sinned, so here I am today as the first of all the house of Joseph to come down to meet my lord the king.”
Na san ni yonnae ka sak e hah na san kai ni ka panue. Hateiteh, Joseph imthungnaw dawk, ka bawipa dawn hanelah ahmaloe ka tho e doeh telah ati.
21 But Abishai son of Zeruiah said, “Shouldn’t Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD’s anointed?”
Zeruiah capa Abisai ni BAWIPA ni satui a awi e thoe a bo dawkvah, Shimei hah dei hane nahoehmaw telah ati.
22 And David replied, “Sons of Zeruiah, what have I to do with you, that you should be my adversaries today? Should any man be put to death in Israel today? Am I not indeed aware that today I am king over Israel?”
Devit ni nangmanaw Zeruiah capanaw sahnin kai na taran hane, kai hoi bangmaw na kâseng awh. Sahnin Isarel ka kâtet pueng thei hanelah maw kai teh sahnin Isarel siangpahrang lah ka o tie ka panuek hoeh na maw telah ati.
23 So the king said to Shimei, “You shall not die.” And the king swore an oath to him.
Siangpahrang ni Shimei koevah, na dout mahoeh telah lawk a kam.
24 Then Mephibosheth, Saul’s grandson, went down to meet the king. He had not cared for his feet or trimmed his mustache or washed his clothes from the day the king had left until the day he returned safely.
Sawl capa Mephibosheth teh siangpahrang dawn hanelah a tho. Siangpahrang a cei hnin hoiyah karoumcalah bout a tho hoehnahlan totouh, a khok pâsu hoeh, a pâkhamuen ngaw hoeh, a hni hai pâsu hoeh.
25 And he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, who asked him, “Mephibosheth, why did you not go with me?”
Siangpahrang dawn hanelah Jerusalem kho koe a pha navah, siangpahrang ni Mephibosheth, bangkong kai koe na cei van hoeh telah ati.
26 “My lord the king,” he replied, “because I am lame, I said, ‘I will have my donkey saddled so that I may ride on it and go with the king.’ But my servant Ziba deceived me,
Oe siangpahrang ka bawipa, ka san ni na dum. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na san ni siangpahrang koe cei hanelah la kâcui thai nahanlah kârasoup han ka ti ei, na san teh ka khokkhem.
27 and he has slandered your servant to my lord the king. Yet my lord the king is like the angel of God, so do what is good in your eyes.
Siangpahrang ka bawipa nang koevah, na san heh na pathoe. Hateiteh, siangpahrang ka bawipa teh, Cathut kalvantami patetlah ao. Ahawi na tie patetlah sak lawih.
28 For all the house of my grandfather deserves death from my lord the king, yet you have set your servant among those who eat at your table. What further right, then, do I have to keep appealing to the king?”
Bangkongtetpawiteh, imthungnaw heh siangpahrang hmaitung be thei hanelah a kamcu. Hatei, na san teh caboi dawk rawca ka ven e lah na o sak. Hatdawkvah, siagpahrang koevah kai ni hno alouke ka hei ngam hane bangmaw kaawm telah atipouh.
29 The king replied, “Why say any more? I hereby declare that you and Ziba are to divide the land.”
Siangpahrang ni nange kong bangmaw dei hanelah kaawm. Nang hoi Ziba ni lawhmuen na kârei roi han telah kai ni ka dei toe tayaw telah ati.
30 And Mephibosheth said to the king, “Instead, since my lord the king has safely come to his own house, let Ziba take it all!”
Mephibosheth ni siangpahrang koevah, siangpahrang teh ama im vah karoumcalah a pha dawkvah, ama ni abuemlahoi lat lawi naseh telah atipouh.
31 Now Barzillai the Gileadite had come down from Rogelim to cross the Jordan with the king and send him on his way from there.
Gilead tami Barzillai hah Rogelim kho lahoi a tho teh, siangpahrang teh Jordan tui rakakhai hanelah ahni koe a cei van.
32 Barzillai was quite old, eighty years of age, and since he was a very wealthy man, he had provided for the king while he stayed in Mahanaim.
Barzillai teh a kum 80 touh a pha toe. A matawng toe. Mahanaim vah siangpahrang ao nah thung teh canei hane kawi ouk a poe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni teh ka tawnta poung e lah ao.
33 The king said to Barzillai, “Cross over with me, and I will provide for you at my side in Jerusalem.”
Siangpahrang ni Barzillai koevah, kai koe tho van nateh, Jerusalem kho kai koe awm nateh, na kawk han telah atipouh.
34 But Barzillai replied, “How many years of my life remain, that I should go up to Jerusalem with the king?
Barzillai ni siangpahrang koevah, nâsittouh maw ka hring rah vaiteh, Jerusalem siangpahrang koe ka cei van han vaiyoe.
35 I am now eighty years old. Can I discern what is good and what is not? Can your servant taste what he eats or drinks? Can I still hear the voice of singing men and women? Why should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?
Sahnin kai teh kum 80 touh ka pha toe. A thoe hoi hawi kapek thai hoeh toe. Kai ni ka canei e a tui hoi tui hoeh e hai ka panue yaw toung. Tongpa napui naw e la sak pawlawk hai ka thai hoeh toe. Na san kai ni siangpahrang ka bawipa hanelah, hmuenri lah khuet ka o han vaw.
36 Your servant could go with the king only a short distance past the Jordan; why should the king repay me with such a reward?
Na san ni siangpahrang koe, Jordan tui na raka totouh dueng doeh ka tho thai ti. Bangkong nama siangpahrang ni het patetlae tawkphu khuet na poe han vaw.
37 Please let your servant return, that I may die in my own city near the tomb of my father and mother. But here is your servant Chimham. Let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him what is good in your sight.”
Na san kai teh ka onae kho dawk, apa e tangkom koe ka due hanelah na ban sak leih. Na san Khimham ao doeh. Siangpahrang hoi rei cet sak. Ahawi na tie patetlah na sak han telah atipouh.
38 The king replied, “Chimham will cross over with me, and I will do for him what seems good in your sight, and I will do for you whatever you desire of me.”
Siangpahrang ni Khimham teh kai hoi rei ka cei roi han. Ahawi na tie patetlah ahni dawk ka sak han. Na hei e pueng hai na sak pouh han telah atipouh.
39 So all the people crossed the Jordan, and then the king crossed over. The king kissed Barzillai and blessed him, and Barzillai returned home.
Tami pueng hai Jordan tui namran lah a raka awh. Siangpahrang ama dueng a raka hnukkhu, Barzillai hah a tapam a paco teh yawhawi a poe teh aonae koe lah a ban.
40 Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham crossed over with him. All the troops of Judah and half the troops of Israel escorted the king.
Siangpahrang teh Gilgal kho a cei. Khimham hai ahni koe a cei van. Judahnaw ni siangpahrang teh a thak awh. Isarel taminaw ni hai a thak awh van.
41 Soon all the men of Israel came to the king and asked, “Why did our brothers, the men of Judah, take you away secretly and bring the king and his household across the Jordan, together with all of David’s men?”
Isarelnaw pueng siangpahrang koe a tho awh teh, bangkongmaw hmaunawngha Judahnaw ni hoe a hnai awh teh, siangpahrang hoi a imthungnaw hoi Jordan tui namran lah koung a ceikhai awh telah ati awh.
42 And all the men of Judah replied to the men of Israel, “We did this because the king is our relative. Why does this anger you? Have we ever eaten at the king’s expense or received anything for ourselves?”
Judahnaw ni siangpahrang teh kaimouh hoi kâhnai e lah ao dawkvah, bangkongmaw hete kong dawk na lungkhuek. Siangpahrang e rawcanaw kaimouh ni ka ca ka nei awh maw. Kaimouh koe na poe awh e hno ao maw telah Isarelnaw hanelah atipouh.
43 “We have ten shares in the king,” answered the men of Israel, “so we have more claim to David than you. Why then do you despise us? Were we not the first to speak of restoring our king?” But the men of Judah pressed even harder than the men of Israel.
Isarelnaw ni Judahnaw koe kaimouh ni siangpahrang dawk hra touh coe hane ka tawn awh. Devit dawkvah nangmanaw hlak pang hane hoe ka tawn awh. Siangpahrang ban sak hane kong dawk kaimouh hoi apuengcue kâpannae awm laipalah, bangkong kaimanaw na dudam awh telah Judahnaw koe bout a dei pouh awh. Judahnaw e lawk hah Isarelnaw e lawk hlak hoe a hram.
