< 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.
Hitichun leng David khanglai hin kum thum sungin kel analhan, hijeh chun David jong chun iti ding ham, tin Pakai chu adong tan ahi, chuin Pakaiyin hitin ahinseiye, “Saul chun Gibeon mite anatha jeh a Saul le a insung mite chunga thisan so jal a themmona aum jeh ahi,” ati.
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: )
Hijeh chun lengpan jong Gibeon mite chu akoukhom soh tai. chule Gibeon mite hi Israel chate sung peng mi ahipouvin Amor mite chia peng athimoh ho ahibouvui; chule amaho hi Israel chaten thalou dinga anasei vanguvin, Saul chun ami Israel chate leh Judah tedinga atom ngai na jeh-a amaho hi suhgam ding anati ahi.
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’in hiche Gibeon mite koma chun hitin aseiye, “Ipi kabol peh diu ham? Itobang mongin longman nasem peh theiyu leng nanghon hiche Pakai goulo mite hi phatthei naboh thei dingu ham?” tin adong tai.
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?
Hichun Gibeon miten leng David koma chun aseiyun, “Keiho le Saul chule ainsung mite kah a thuhi dangka le sana peh a kihoucham na thei ding jong ahipoi, keihon Israel mite lah a mihem khat tou ka thalo diu thujong ahi deh poi,” atiuve. Chuin David chun asei kit’in, Ahile ken nang ho dinga ipipen ba ka bolpeh diu ham? Neiseipih un khuti leh ken nang ho dia kabolpih ding nahiu ve” ati.
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,
Hiti chun amahon jong lengpa koma chun, “Israel gamsunga chen-mun ge-mun kanei lou helna diuva keiho suhgam nadia lunggel tohgon ananei chu Saul ahi atiuve.
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.
Hijeh chun Saul chate pasal sagi ho chu keiho khut a neihin peu vin lang, chule keihon jong amaho chu Gibeon khoa Pakai molsang chunga khun Pakai angsunga ga khailih jeng’uvinge,” ati tauve. Chuphat in David jong chun, “chuti ahileh amaho mi sagi chu nape nau vinge,” atipeh tai.
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.
Lengpan Saul chapa Jonathan chapa Mephibosheth vang chu ahing hoiye; ijeh-inem itileh amanin Pakaiya kihahsel na ana nei lhon ahi, David le Saul chapa Jonathan in kihahsel na ananeisa lhon ahitai.
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:
Chuin lengpan Aiah chanu Saul jinu Rizpah chapate ni Armoni le Mephibosheth amanin, Saul chanu Merab chapate mi nga jong amanin, amaho hi Merab hin Meholath mipa Barzillai chapa Adriel kitipa chutoh ahinlhon ahi;
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.
David’in mi sagi hi Gibeon mite khut a apedoh tai; chuin amahon jong hiche pasal sagi ho chu molsang chunga Pakai angsunga akhaiyuvin, mi sagi jenchu athigam tauve. Amaho atha niu chu sakol chang-at kipat til ni chu anahi.
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.
Chuin Rizpah kitinu amin Aiah chanu hin khaodip pon akilah in, songpi chung khat’a akisil khaodip pon chu aphan, chang at kipat til a pat chun vana kona chuh go ahung juh kahsen apha pha jenge; sun teng jongle chunga leng vachate aponpha chunga chun atousahpon, chubang ma chun jan teng jongle gamsa ho chu ponpha chunga chun alutsah deh pon ahi.
11 And news was given to David of what Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, one of Saul's wives, had done.
Chuin Saul thaikemnu Aiah chanu Rizpah thilbol umchan chu David koma aseipeh phat’un,
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:
David jong achen Saul leh achapa Jonathan gu-lheng lhon chengse beh chu Jabesh-gilead kho haosate koma agalan ahi. Chule hiche haosa hohin, hiche gu-lheng lhon ho hi Philistine miten Gilboa molsang chunga Saul ajo chung uva, Philistine mihon Saul leh achapa Jonathan Beth-shan kholai dunga akhai nauva aga guh doh-u anahi.
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.
David chun hiche muna kon chun Saul leh achapa Jonathan gu-lheng lhonho chu agapon, chuin mihon amani banga kikhailih jouse gubuh chengse chutoh akoikhom tauvin ahi.
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.
Chuin lengpan gu-lheng lhon ho chu Benjamin gamsunga Zela khoa Saul pa Kish lhan khuh a avuidiu vn thupeh aneitan ahi. Chule miho hin lengpa thupeh bang bangin abolsoh keiyuvin ahi. Hiche nunghin Pathenin gamsunga kel lhah chu akichai sah tan ahi.
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:
Hichun Philistine mite chun Israel chate dounan gal ahinbol uvin ahileh, David lengpa jong chu asepaite toh kilhonin gal akonsuh kit’in Philistine mite dounan gal agasat tauve. Hichun David jong chu atha achol lheh jengin ahi.
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.
Chuti chun gal muna chun Rapha gal hatpa chilhah a mi khat amin Ishbi-benob kiti pa hi apangin, ama chu atengcha jeng jong agih dan sum-eng jeng shekel ja khat alhingin, chule amahin chemjam thah lih khat akonga akikon, David chu tha jeng dingin ahin gotan ahi.
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.
Ahin Zeruiah chapa Abishai chun David ahung panpin, Philistinete gal-hatpa chu adel khumin athat tan ahi. Chuphat’in David chu asepaiten ajadauvin, “Nangma tukal keiho toh gal ikon khom louhel diu ahitai, achuti loule namoh thilo ding ahin, Israel chate lah a meivah banga navah hi mit jeng thei ahi,”atiuve.
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.
Hiche jou nunghin Gob muna Philistinete toh gal kisat na aum kittai; hichea hin Hushah mi Sibbecai kitipa chun Philistine gal hat miho chilhahte lah a mi khat Saph kitipa chu athat kit’e.
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.
Gob mun ma ma’a chun Philistinete ma ma chutoh gal kisat na ana um kit un ahi. hichea jong hin Bethlehem khoa mi Elhanan kiti Jair chapa chun Gath mi Goliath athat kit’in ahi, Goliath tenglung chu thingtum tejen aphan ahi.
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.
Chujouvin Gath khoa gal ahung soh kit tai; chule galmuna chun mi adung sangtah khat ana um'in, amapa chu akhut phang lang khatcheh a chun akhutjung gup gup akeh in ahi; chule akengphang lang khat gel a jong chun akengjung gup gup cheh akeh in ahi; abonchan akhut jungle akengjung agoma som ni le li alhinge; chule ama jong hi galhat mihangte chilhah khatma anahin ahi.
21 And when he was purposing to put shame on Israel, Jonathan, the son of Shimei, David's brother, put him to death.
Ahin aman Israel mite athu angailouva, aseiset phat chun David sopipa shimea chapa Jonathan in athat tan ahi.
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.
Philistines mi hicheng li hi Gath khoa gal hang mihatte son leh chilhah ahiuve; ahin abonchauvin David le asepaite khut a ana thisoh kei tauvin ahi.
