2 Samuel 21
1 During the reign of David there was a famine for three successive years, and David sought the face of the LORD. And the LORD said, “It is because of the blood shed by Saul and his family, because he killed the Gibeonites.”
David tue vaengah kum thum tah kum khat phoeiah kum khat khokha tlung. Te dongah David loh BOEIPA maelhmai tea toem. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Saul neh anih imkhui loh Giboneea ngawn vaengkah thii kawng tea thui.
2 At this, David summoned the Gibeonites and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not Israelites, but a remnant of the Amorites. The Israelites had taken an oath concerning them, but in his zeal for Israel and Judah, Saul had sought to kill them.)
Te dongah manghai loh Gibonee rhoek tea khue tih amih te, “Gibonee rhoek amih he Israel ca khui lamkah moenih. Tedae Amori hlangrhuel lamkah ni. Israel ca rhoek loh amih taengah ol a caeng uh coeng. Tedae Israel ca neh Judah kongah ni Saul loh amihTe a thatlai neh ngawn hamlaa moeh,” a tinah.
3 So David asked the Gibeonites, “What shall I do for you? How can I make amends so that you may bless the inheritance of the LORD?”
David loh Gibonee rhoek taengah, “Nangmih taengah balae kan saii eh? BOEIPA kah rho te yoethen sak ham ba nen lae rhong eh?,” a tinah.
4 The Gibeonites said to him, “We need no silver or gold from Saul or his house, nor should you put to death anyone in Israel for us.” “Whatever you ask, I will do for you,” he replied.
Te dongah Gibonee rhoek loh, “Saul taeng lamkah neh anih imkhui lamkah cak neh suiTe kaimih loh ka kuek uh moenih. Israel khuikah pakhat ngawn ham kaimih hut moenih,” a ti na uh. Te vaengah, “Na ti uh coeng te tah nangmih ham balae kan saii eh?” a tinah.
5 And they answered the king, “As for the man who consumed us and plotted against us to exterminate us from existing within any border of Israel,
Te phoeiah manghai te, “Mamih aka khap tih mamih aka lutlat thil hlang, anih loh Israel khorhi tom ah aka pai tea mitmoeng sak.
6 let seven of his male descendants be delivered to us so that we may hang them before the LORD at Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the LORD.” “I will give them to you,” said the king.
Anih koca lamkah hlang parhihTe kaimih taengah han tloeng lammah han tloeng saeh lamtah, amihTe BOEIPA kah a coelh Saul khopuei Gibeah kah BOEIPA taengah hoeng uh saeh,” a tiuh. Te dongah manghai loh, “Kamah loh kan tloeng bitni,” a tinah.
7 Now the king spared Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the oath before the LORD between David and Jonathan son of Saul.
Tedae amih laklo kah BOEIPA olhlo bangla manghai tah Saul koca Jonathan capa Mephibosheth taengaha thinphat. Te tah David laklo neh Saul capa Jonathan laklo kah ni.
8 But the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons whom Rizpah daughter of Aiah had borne to Saul, as well as the five sons whom Merab daughter of Saul had borne to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
Tedae manghai loh Aiah canu Rizpah loh Saul hama sak pah ca tongpa panit, Armoni neh Mephibosheth, Saul canu Mikhal loh Mekoloti Barzillai capa Adriel hama sak pah ca tongpa panga tea loh.
9 And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the hill before the LORD. So all seven of them fell together; they were put to death in the first days of the harvest, at the beginning of the barley harvest.
Te phoeiah amihTe Gibonee kut aha paek tih BOEIPA mikhmuh kah tlang aha hoeng uh tih amih parhih tah a parhih la rhenten cungkuuh. Amih tah cangah cuek vaengkah cangtun cangaha moecuek hnin vaengaha duek sakuh.
10 And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it out for herself on a rock. From the beginning of the harvest until the rain from heaven poured down on the bodies, she did not allow the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
Te vaengah Aiah canu Rizpah loh tlamhni tea loh tih cangah tong lamloh vaan lamkah tui loh amiha bo thil duela lungpang dongah a phaih thil. Te dongah khothaih ah vaan vaa, khoyin ah kohong mulhingTe amih soah cuuk sak pawh.
11 When David was told what Saul’s concubine Rizpah, daughter of Aiah, had done,
Saul kah yula Aiah nu Rizpah kah a saii te David taenglaa puen pauh.
12 he went and took the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth-shan where the Philistines had hung the bodies after they had struck down Saul at Gilboa.
Te dongah DavidTe cet tih Saul rhuh neh a capa Jonathan rhuh te Jabesh Gilead khokung taeng lamloha loh. Amih te Bethshan toltung lamkaha huenuh. Te tah Philisti kah amiha kuiok nah neh amiha kingkaek nah ni. Philisti kah Gilboa ah Saul te Philisti loh hnin at neh pahoia ngawn.
13 So David had the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan brought from there, along with the bones of those who had been hanged.
Saul kah a rhuh neh a capa Jonathan kah a rhuh te khaw te lamloha khuen uh daengaha rhuha hoeng uh tangtae khaw tea soemuh.
14 And they buried the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in Zela in the land of Benjamin, in the tomb of Saul’s father Kish. After they had done everything the king had commanded, God answered their prayers for the land.
Saul neh a capa Jonathan kah a rhuh te Benjamin kho Zela kah a napa Kish phuel aha up uh tih manghai loha uen bangla boeiha saiiuh. Te phoeiah ni khohmuen ham a thangthuiTe Pathen loh a rhoi pueng.
15 Once again the Philistines waged war against Israel, and David and his servants went down and fought against the Philistines; but David became exhausted.
Te vaengah Philisti neh Israel laklo ah caem koep om tih David neh amah taengkah a sal rhoek a suntlak thil. Philisti tea vathoh vaengah David lamlum.
16 Then Ishbi-benob, a descendant of Rapha, whose bronze spear weighed three hundred shekels and who was bearing a new sword, resolved to kill David.
Ishbibenob, Rapha cahlah Ishbibenob, a caai khiing mah rhohum khiing ah ya thum a lo pah. Anih loh a thai la a muk tih David te ngawn hamla cai.
17 But Abishai son of Zeruiah came to his aid, struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then David’s men swore to him, “You must never again go out with us to battle, so that the lamp of Israel may not be extinguished.”
Tedae David te Zeruiah capa Abishai loh a bom tih Philisti tea tloekpah. Anih te a ngawn van dongah David kah hlang rhoek loh anih taengaha toemngam uh tih, 'Caemtloek la kaimih taengah koep na lo pawt mako, Te daengah ni Israel kah hmaithoi te athih pawt eh?,” a tinah.
18 Some time later at Gob, there was another battle with the Philistines. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, one of the descendants of Rapha.
Te phoeiah om bal tih Goba ah Philisti caem koep thoo bal tih Khushathi Sibbekhai loh Rapha cahlah Saph tea ngawn.
19 Once again there was a battle with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
Goba tangkhuet ah Philisti neh caemtloek koep om bal tih Bethlehem Jaareoregim capa Elhanan loh Ghitti Goliath tea ngawn. Te vaengkah a caai tueng mah hnitah nah tampai bangla om.
20 And there was still another battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He too was descended from Rapha,
Gath ah khaw caemtloek koep om tiha hlang te a songsang neh a cungnueh khaw om. A kut dongkah kutdawn neh a kho khodawn parhuk parhuk om tih pakul pali rhenten a lo pah. AnihTe khaw Rapha lamkah ni a sak.
21 and when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of David’s brother Shimei killed him.
Israel tea veet dongah David maya, Shimeah Shimei capa Jonathan loh anih te a ngawn.
22 So these four descendants of Rapha in Gath fell at the hands of David and his servants.
Te rhoek pali te Gath ah Rapha lamkaha sak uh tih David kut neh a sal rhoek kah kut ah cungkuuh.
