2 Samuel 4
1 Now when Ish-bosheth son of Saul heard that Abner had died in Hebron, he lost courage, and all Israel was dismayed.
Hebron ah Abnera duek te Saul capa loh a yaak vaengah a kut la sut kha tih Israel rhoek khaw boeih letuh.
2 Saul’s son had two men who were leaders of raiding parties. One was named Baanah and the other Rechab; they were sons of Rimmon the Beerothite of the tribe of Benjamin—Beeroth is considered part of Benjamin,
Saul capa he hlang panit caem mangpa la omrhoi. Pakhat ming tah Baanah tiha pabae ming tah Benjamin koca lamkah Beeroth Rimmon capa Rekhab ni. Te vaengah Beeroth khaw Benjamin laa taethilcoeng.
3 because the Beerothites fled to Gittaim and have lived there as foreigners to this day.
Tedae Beeroth te Gatayim la yong tiha om coeng dongah tihnin due pahoi bakuep.
4 And Jonathan son of Saul had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the report about Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel. His nurse picked him up and fled, but as she was hurrying to escape, he fell and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.
Te vaengah Saul capa Jonathan kah a ca tongpa kho khaem tah kum nga lo ca coeng. Jezreel lamkah Saul neh Jonathan kah olthanga pawk vaengah anih aka poeh loh anih te a poeh tih a rhaelrham puei. Tedaea rhaelrham hamlaa tamto dongaha paloe puei tih vik khaem. Anih ming tah Mephibosheth ni.
5 Now Rechab and Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, set out and arrived at the house of Ish-bosheth in the heat of the day, while the king was taking his midday nap.
Beeroth Rimmon capa Rekhab neh BaanahTe cet rhoi tih khothun kholing ah Ishbosheth im la pawkrhoi. Te vaengah IsboesethTe imphu kah thingkong dongah ana yalh.
6 They entered the interior of the house as if to get some wheat, and they stabbed him in the stomach. Then Rechab and his brother Baanah slipped away.
Amih rhoiTe cangrhang aka lo bangla im khui la kun rhoi tih a bung aha thunrhoi. Te phoeiah Rekhab neh a mana Baanah te vawl viuhrhoi.
7 They had entered the house while Ish-bosheth was lying on his bed, and having stabbed and killed him, they beheaded him, took his head, and traveled all night by way of the Arabah.
Ima pha rhoi vaengah Ishbosheth tah imhman thingkong dongkah baiphaih dongah yalh. Te dongah anih te a ngawn rhoi tiha duek sak phoeiah a lu tea rhaih pah rhoi. Anih lu tea khuen rhoi tih khoyin khing Arabah long ah cetrhoi.
8 They brought the head of Ish-bosheth to David at Hebron and said to the king, “Here is the head of Ish-bosheth son of Saul, your enemy who sought your life. Today the LORD has granted vengeance to my lord the king against Saul and his offspring.”
Ishbosheth lu te Hebron kah David taenglaa pawk puei rhoi tih manghai te, “Na thunkha Saul capa Ishbosheth kah a lu he. Anih loh na hinglua mae dae BOEIPA loh ka boeipa manghai taengah hang khueh coeng. Tawnlohnah tah tihnin ah Saul so neha tiingan soah pai coeng he,” a tirhoi.
9 But David answered Rechab and his brother Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, “As surely as the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from all distress,
Tedae David loh Beeroth Rimmon capa Rekhab neh a mana Baanah tea doo tih, “BOEIPA kah hingnah dongah ka hinglu he citcai cungkuem lamkah aka lat,
10 when someone told me, ‘Look, Saul is dead,’ and thought he was a bearer of good news, I seized him and put him to death at Ziklag. That was his reward for his news!
Saula duek tarha vaengah kai taengla ha puen tih a thuiTe amah mikhmuh neh aka phong bangla om. Tedae anih kah olthangthen ka thuung ham te amah ni ka tuuk tih Ziklag ah ka ngawn.
11 How much more, when wicked men kill a righteous man in his own house and on his own bed, shall I not now require his blood from your hands and remove you from the earth!”
Hlang dueng, a im kah thingkong dongkah mai aka ngawn hlang rhoi he halang rhoi coeng. A thii te na kut dong lamloh ka suk vetih diklai lamloh nangmih rhoi te kang khoe pawn mahpawt nim?,” a tinah.
12 So David commanded his young men, and they killed Rechab and Baanah. They cut off their hands and feet and hung their bodies by the pool in Hebron, but they took the head of Ish-bosheth and buried it in Abner’s tomb in Hebron.
David loh tueihyoeih rhoek tea uen tih amih rhoi te a ngawnuh. A kut a kho tea tlueh pa tih Hebron tuibuem aha hoeiuh. Tedae Ishbosheth kah a lu te tah a khuen uh tih Hebron kah Abner phuel aha upuh.
