2 Samuel 21
1 In the days of David they were short of food for three years, year after year; and David went before the Lord for directions. And the Lord said, On Saul and on his family there is blood, because he put the Gibeonites to death.
David tue vaengah kum thum tah kum khat phoeiah kum khat khokha tlung. Te dongah David loh BOEIPA maelhmai te a toem. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Saul neh anih imkhui loh Gibonee a ngawn vaengkah thii kawng te a thui.
2 Then the king sent for the Gibeonites; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but were the last of the Amorites, to whom the children of Israel had given an oath; but Saul, in his passion for the children of Israel and Judah, had made an attempt on their lives: )
Te dongah manghai loh Gibonee rhoek te a 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 amih te a thatlai neh ngawn hamla a moeh,” a ti nah.
3 So David said to the Gibeonites, What may I do for you? how am I to make up to you for your wrongs, so that you may give a blessing to the heritage 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 ti nah.
4 And the Gibeonites said to him, It is not a question of silver and gold between us and Saul or his family; and it is not in our power to put to death any man in Israel. And he said, Say, then, what am I to do for you?
Te dongah Gibonee rhoek loh, “Saul taeng lamkah neh anih imkhui lamkah cak neh sui te kaimih loh ka kuek uh moenih. Israel khuikah pakhat ngawn ham kaimih hut moenih,” a ti nauh. Te vaengah, “Na ti uh coeng te tah nangmih ham balae kan saii eh?” a ti nah.
5 And they said to the king, As for the man by whom we were wasted, and who made designs against us to have us completely cut off from the land of Israel,
Te phoeiah manghai te, “Mamih aka khap tih mamih aka lutlat thil hlang, anih loh Israel khorhi tom ah aka pai te a mitmoeng sak.
6 Let seven men of his family be given up to us and we will put an end to them by hanging them before the Lord in Gibeon, on the hill of the Lord. And the king said, I will give them.
Anih koca lamkah hlang parhih te kaimih taengah han tloeng lammah han tloeng saeh lamtah, amih te BOEIPA kah a coelh Saul khopuei Gibeah kah BOEIPA taengah hoeng uh saeh,” a ti uh. Te dongah manghai loh, “Kamah loh kan tloeng bitni,” a ti nah.
7 But the king did not give up Mephibosheth, the son of Saul's son Jonathan, because of the Lord's oath made between David and Jonathan, the son of Saul.
Tedae amih laklo kah BOEIPA olhlo bangla manghai tah Saul koca Jonathan capa Mephibosheth taengah a thinphat. Te tah David laklo neh Saul capa Jonathan laklo kah ni.
8 But the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons of Saul to whom Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, had given birth; and the five sons of Saul's daughter Merab, whose father was Adriel, the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:
Tedae manghai loh Aiah canu Rizpah loh Saul ham a sak pah ca tongpa panit, Armoni neh Mephibosheth, Saul canu Mikhal loh Mekoloti Barzillai capa Adriel ham a sak pah ca tongpa panga te a loh.
9 And he gave them up to the Gibeonites, and they put them to death, hanging them on the mountain before the Lord; all seven came to their end together in the first days of the grain-cutting, at the start of the cutting of the barley.
Te phoeiah amih te Gibonee kut ah a paek tih BOEIPA mikhmuh kah tlang ah a hoeng uh tih amih parhih tah a parhih la rhenten cungku uh. Amih tah cangah cuek vaengkah cangtun cangah a moecuek hnin vaengah a duek sakuh.
10 And Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, took haircloth, placing it on the rock as a bed for herself, from the start of the grain-cutting till rain came down on them from heaven; and she did not let the birds of the air come near them by day, or the beasts of the field by night.
Te vaengah Aiah canu Rizpah loh tlamhni te a loh tih cangah tong lamloh vaan lamkah tui loh amih a bo thil duela lungpang dongah a phaih thil. Te dongah khothaih ah vaan vaa, khoyin ah kohong mulhing te amih soah cuuk sak pawh.
11 And news was given to David of what Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, one of Saul's wives, had done.
Saul kah yula Aiah nu Rizpah kah a saii te David taengla a puen pauh.
12 And David went and took the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had taken them away secretly from the public place of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had put them, hanging up the bodies there on the day when they put Saul to death in Gilboa:
Te dongah David te cet tih Saul rhuh neh a capa Jonathan rhuh te Jabesh Gilead khokung taeng lamloh a loh. Amih te Bethshan toltung lamkah a huen uh. Te tah Philisti kah amih a kuiok nah neh amih a kingkaek nah ni. Philisti kah Gilboa ah Saul te Philisti loh hnin at neh pahoi a ngawn.
13 And he took the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from that place; and they got together the bones of those who had been put to death by hanging.
Saul kah a rhuh neh a capa Jonathan kah a rhuh te khaw te lamloh a khuen uh daengah a rhuh a hoeng uh tangtae khaw te a soem uh.
14 And they put them with the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in the resting-place of Kish, his father, in Zela in the country of Benjamin; they did all the king had given them orders to do. And after that, God gave ear to their prayers for the land.
Saul neh a capa Jonathan kah a rhuh te Benjamin kho Zela kah a napa Kish phuel ah a up uh tih manghai loh a uen bangla boeih a saii uh. Te phoeiah ni khohmuen ham a thangthui te Pathen loh a rhoi pueng.
15 And the Philistines went to war again with Israel; and David went down with his people, and while they were at Gob they had a fight with the Philistines:
Te vaengah Philisti neh Israel laklo ah caem koep om tih David neh amah taengkah a sal rhoek a suntlak thil. Philisti te a vathoh vaengah David lamlum.
16 And there came against David one of the offspring of the Rephaim, whose spear was three hundred shekels of brass in weight, and having a new sword, he made an attempt to put David to death.
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, the son of Zeruiah, came to his help, and, turning on the Philistine, gave him his death-blow. Then David's men took an oath, and said, Never again are you to go out with us to the fight, so that you may not put out the light of Israel.
Tedae David te Zeruiah capa Abishai loh a bom tih Philisti te a tloek pah. Anih te a ngawn van dongah David kah hlang rhoek loh anih taengah a toemngam uh tih, 'Caemtloek la kaimih taengah koep na lo pawt mako, te daengah ni Israel kah hmaithoi te athih pawt eh?,” a ti nah.
18 Now after this there was war with the Philistines again at Gob, and Sibbecai the Hushathite put to death Saph, one of the offspring of the Rephaim.
Te phoeiah om bal tih Goba ah Philisti caem koep thoo bal tih Khushathi Sibbekhai loh Rapha cahlah Saph te a ngawn.
19 And again there was war with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan, the son of Jair the Beth-lehemite, put to death Goliath the Gittite, the stem of whose spear was like a cloth-worker's rod.
Goba tangkhuet ah Philisti neh caemtloek koep om bal tih Bethlehem Jaareoregim capa Elhanan loh Ghitti Goliath te a ngawn. Te vaengkah a caai tueng mah hnitah nah tampai bangla om.
20 And again there was war at Gath, where there was a very tall man, who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six fingers on his hands and six toes on his feet; he was one of the offspring of the Rephaim.
Gath ah khaw caemtloek koep om tih a 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. Anih te khaw Rapha lamkah ni a sak.
21 And when he was purposing to put shame on Israel, Jonathan, the son of Shimei, David's brother, put him to death.
Israel te a veet dongah David maya, Shimeah Shimei capa Jonathan loh anih te a ngawn.
22 These four were of the offspring of the Rephaim in Gath; and they came to their end by the hands of David and his servants.
Te rhoek pali te Gath ah Rapha lamkah a sak uh tih David kut neh a sal rhoek kah kut ah cungku uh.
