Kings II 3
1 And there was war for a long time between the house of Saul and the house of David; and the house of David grew continually stronger; but the house of Saul grew continually weaker.
Sawl imthung hoi Devit imthung hah atueng moi kasawlah a kâtuk awh. Devit imthung hoehoe a thao awh. Sawl imthung teh hoehoe a tha ayoun awh.
2 And sons were born to David in Chebron: and his first-born was Ammon the son of Achinoom the Jezraelitess.
Devit ni Hebron kho vah capa a tawn. Camin Amnon, Jezreel tami Ahinoam koehoi e doeh.
3 And his second son [was] Daluia, the son of Abigaia the Carmelitess; and the third, Abessalom the son of Maacha the daughter of Tholmi the king of Gessir.
Apâhni e teh, Khileab, Karmel tami Nabal e yu Abigail koehoi e doeh. Apâthum e teh Absalom, Geshur siangpahrang Talmai canu Maakah capa doeh.
4 And the fourth [was] Ornia, the son of Aggith, and the fifth [was] Saphatia, the son of Abital.
Apali e teh, Adonijah Haggith capa doeh. Apanga e teh, Shephatiah, Abital capa doeh.
5 And the sixth [was] Jetheraam, the son of Aegal the wife of David. These were born to David in Chebron.
Ataruk e teh, Ithream Devit e yu Eglah koehoi e doeh. Hetnaw teh Devit capanaw Hebron kho dawk a khe e naw doeh.
6 And it came to pass while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abenner was governing the house of Saul.
Sawl imthung hoi Devit imthung a kâtuk awh navah, Abner teh Sawl imthung koe lah a tha pou a sai.
7 And Saul had a concubine, Respha, the daughter of Jol; and Jebosthe the son of Saul said to Abenner, Why hast thou gone in to my father's concubine?
Sawl ni ado a tawn, A min teh Rizpah, Aiah canu doeh. Ishbosheth ni Abner koevah bangkong apa e ado koe na kâen telah atipouh.
8 And Abenner was very angry with Jebosthe for this saying; and Abenner said to him, Am I a dog's head? I have this day wrought kindness with the house of Saul thy father, and with his brethren and friends, and have not gone over to the house of David, and dost thou this day seek a charge against me concerning injury to a woman?
Ishbosheth lawk a dei e ni Abner hah a lung puenghoi a khuek sak. Judah taminaw e ui e lû namaw, sahnin ditouh na pa Sawl imthungnaw hoi a hmaunawngha hoi a huikonaw koe lungmanae kamnue sak e lahoi Devit e kut dawk ka poe awh hoeh. Nang ni hete napui kong dawk yonnae ka sak e patetlah na pouk.
9 God do thus and more also to Abenner, if as the Lord swore to David, so do I not to him this day;
Sawl imthung dawk hoi uknae la pouh han Isarel hoi Judah lathueng vah Dan hoi Beersheba to touh.
10 to take away the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to raise up the throne of David over Israel and over Juda from Dan to Bersabee.
Devit e bawitungkhung kangdue sak hanelah BAWIPA ni Devit koe lawk a kam e patetlah ka sak hoehpawiteh, Cathut ni Abner heh a ngainae patetlah sak naseh, hothlak kapap lahai sak naseh.
11 And Jebosthe could not any longer answer Abenner a word, because he feared him.
Abner hah a taki toung dawkvah Ishbosheth lawkkam touh boehai pathung hoeh.
12 And Abenner sent messengers to David to Thaelam where he was, immediately, saying, Make thy covenant with me, and, behold, my hand [is] with thee to bring back to thee all the house of Israel.
Abner ni amae yueng lah Devit koe patounenaw a patoun teh hete ram heh apie maw kai koe lawkkamnae sak haw. Isarelnaw nang koe lah kampang hanelah, ka kut heh nang koe lah a kampang han telah a ti.
13 And David said, With a good will I will make with thee a covenant: only I demand one condition of thee, saying, Thou shalt not see my face, unless thou bring Melchol the daughter of Saul, when thou comest to see my face.
Devit ni ahawi nang koe lawkkamnae ka sak han. Hateiteh hno buet touh ka hei han. Kai na kâhmo hanelah na tho navah, Sawl canu Mikhal na thokhai hoehpawiteh, ka mei na hmawt mahoeh telah a ti.
14 And David sent messengers to Jebosthe the son of Saul, saying, Restore me my wife Melchol, whom I took for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
Devit ni Sawl e capa Ishbosheth koevah Filistin tami vuensom 100 touh hoi ka ran e ka yu Mikhal hah na poe telah patounenaw a patoun.
15 And Jebosthe sent, and took her from her husband, [even] from Phaltiel the son of Selle.
Ishbosheth ni tami a patoun teh, a vâ Laish capa Paltiel kut dawk e a thokhai.
16 And her husband went with her weeping behind her as far as Barakim. And Abenner said to him, Go, return; and he returned.
A vâ teh a kâ laihoi a cei teh, Bahurim kho totouh a kâbang. Abner ni ahni koe cet nateh ban lawih telah atipouh teh a ban.
17 And Abenner spoke to the elders of Israel, saying, In former days ye sought David to reign over you;
Abner ni Isarel kacuenaw a pâkhueng teh, ahnimouh koe, hah hoehnahlan teh Devit heh siangpahrang lah na ngai awh e doeh.
18 and now perform [it]: for the Lord has spoken concerning David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save Israel out of the hand of all their enemies.
Atuvah tawmrasang awh leih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni Devit kong dawk ka san Devit kut dawk hoi ka tami Isarel hah Filistinnaw kut dawk hoi na rungngang han telah a dei atipouh.
19 And Abenner spoke in the ears of Benjamin: and Abenner went to speak in the ears of David at Chebron, all that seemed good in the eyes of Israel and in the eyes of the house of Benjamin.
Abner ni Benjamin taminaw a thainae koehai a dei. Hottelah Abner ni Isarel taminaw hoi Benjamin imthungnaw ni ahawi ati awh e pueng Hebron vah Devit koe dei pouh hanelah a cei awh.
20 And Abenner came to David to Chebron, and with him twenty men: and David made for Abenner and his men with him a banquet of wine.
Abner ni tami 20 touh hoi Devit aonae koe Hebron kho lah a cei teh, Devit ni roipu a sak teh, Abner hoi a taminaw a ca sak.
21 And Abenner said to David, I will arise now, and go, and gather to my lord the king all Israel; and I will make with him a covenant, and thou shalt reign over all whom thy soul desires. And David sent away Abenner, and he departed in peace.
Abner ni Devit koevah, kathâw vaiteh, nang koe lawkkamnae a sak thai awh nahane hoi na pouknae patetlah lawk ka ceng thai nahan, Isarelnaw pueng ka bawipa koe pâkhueng hanelah, ka cei han telah ati. Devit ni Abner a patoun teh duem a cei.
22 And, behold, the servants of David and Joab arrived from their expedition, and they brought much spoil with them: and Abenner was not with David in Chebron, because he had sent him away, and he had departed in peace.
Hatnavah, Joab hoi Devit e a sannaw teh taran a pâleinae koehoi a ban awh teh, hnopai moi a sin awh. Abner teh Devit hoi Hebron kho dawk rei awm roi hoeh. Devit ni a patoun toung dawkvah karoumcalah a cei.
23 And Joab and all his army came, and it was reported to Joab, saying, Abenner the son of Ner is come to David, and David has let him go, and he has departed in peace.
Joab hoi ama koe kaawm e taminaw pha awh navah, Ner capa Abner hah, siangpahrang koe a tho teh, ahni ni a ban sak toung dawkvah karoumcalah a cei telah Joab koe a dei pouh han.
24 And Joab went in to the king, and said, What [is] this [that] thou hast done? behold, Abenner came to thee; and why hast thou let him go, and he has departed in peace?
Joab teh Siangpahrang koe a kâen teh, bawipa, bangtelamaw na sak e hah khenhaw! Abner teh nang koe tho teh, bangkongmaw yout na cei sak.
25 Knowest thou not the mischief of Abenner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all things that thou doest?
Ner capa Abner teh na panue, nang dum hanelah, na tâco na kâen, na sak e pueng panue han a ngai dawk ka tho e doeh telah a ti.
26 And Joab returned from David, and sent messengers to Abenner after [him]; and they bring him back from the well of Seiram: but David knew [it] not.
Devit koehoi Joab a tâco navah, Abner hah pâlei hanelah patounenaw a patoun. Sirah tuikhu koehoi bout a bankhai. Hatei teh Devit panuek hoeh.
27 And he brought back Abenner to Chebron, and Joab caused him to turn aside from the gate to speak to him, laying wait for him: and he smote him there in the loins, and he died for the blood of Asael the brother of Joab.
Abner ni Hebron kho a pha navah, Joab ni rapan longkha koe arulahoi lawk kâpan hanelah a ceikhai teh a hmaunawngha Asahel thi a palawngnae koe a von dawk a thut teh a due.
28 And David heard [of it] afterwards, and said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the Lord even for ever of the blood of Abenner the son of Ner.
Hathnukkhu, Devit ni a thai navah, Ner capa Abner thi palawngnae kong dawk kai hoi ka uknaeram teh, BAWIPA hmalah pou ka kamthoung han.
29 Let it fall upon the head of Joab, and upon all the house of his father; and let there not be wanting of the house of Joab one that has an issue, or a leper, or that leans on a staff, or that falls by the sword, or that wants bread.
Joab hoi a na pa imthungnaw e lû dawk bawt na seh, Joab imthung dawk thihnaipatawnae, hrikbei, hnamkhun, tahloi hoi duenae, takangnae pout hanh naseh, telah a ti.
30 For Joab and Abessa his brother laid wait continually for Abenner, because he slew Asael their brother at Gabaon in the battle.
Hottelah, Joab hoi a nawngha Abisai ni Abner hah a thei van, bangkongtetpawiteh, Asahel hah Gibeon kâtuknae koe a thei dawk vah.
31 And David said to Joab and to all the people with him, Rend your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament before Abenner. And king David followed the bier.
Devit ni hai Joab hoi ama koe kaawmnaw koe na hni hah ravek awh nateh Buri kâkhu awh. Abner hanelah khuikanae sak awh atipouh teh, Devit ni ro hah a kâbang sin.
32 And they bury Abenner in Chebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at his tomb, and all the people wept for Abenner.
Abner teh Hebron vah a pakawp awh teh, siangpahrang hoi taminaw teh Abner phuen koe a ka awh.
33 And the king mourned over Abenner, and said, Shall Abenner die according to the death of Nabal?
Siangpahrang Abner a ka khai awh teh, Abner teh tamipathu due la maw a due han.
34 Thy hands were not bound, and thy feet [were] not [put] in fetters: [one] brought [thee] not near as Nabal; thou didst fall before children of iniquity.
Na kut hai katek hoeh, na khok hai hlong buet hoeh. Tamikapo kut dawk hoi kadout e patetlah duenae na tawng toe telah ati. Taminaw hai bout a kâ awh.
35 And all the people assembled to weep for him. And all the people came to cause David to eat bread while it was yet day: and David swore, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if I eat bread or any thing else before the sun goes down.
Khohmo hoehnahlan Devit teh rawca ca sak hanelah taminaw a tho awh. Hatei Devit ni kanî a khup hoehnahlan rawca thoseh, alouknaw hai thoseh ka cat pawiteh, Cathut ni a ngai e patetlah na tet naseh, hothlak kapap lahai na sak naseh telah thoe a kâbo.
36 And all the people took notice, and all things that the king did before the people were pleasing in their sight.
Hote hah taminaw ni a thai toteh, a lunghawi awh. Siangpahrang ni a sak e pueng taminaw ni a ngai awh teh a lunghawi sak awh.
37 So all the people and all Israel perceived in that day, that it was not of the king to slay Abenner the son of Ner.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, tamihu hoi Isarelnaw pueng ni hat hnin vah Ner capa Abner thei e hah siangpahrang khokhangnae nahoeh tie a panue awh.
38 And the king said to his servants, Know ye not that a great prince is this day fallen in Israel?
Siangpahrang ni a taminaw koe sahnin vah Isarelnaw dawk bawi hoi tami kalen a due tie na panuek awh hoeh maw.
39 And that I am this day a [mere] kinsman [of his], and [as it were] a subject; but these men the sons of Saruia are too hard for me: the Lord reward the evil-doer according to his wickedness.
Kai teh satui awi e lah ka o eiteh, sahnin ka tha ayoun. Zeruiah capa lah kaawm e hetnaw teh kai hlak a thao awh. Ka hawihoeh e patetlah BAWIPA ni pathung naseh telah a ti.
