< Kings II 19 >
1 And they brought Joab word, saying, Behold, the king weeps and mourns for Abessalom.
Siangpahrang loe Absalom pongah, palungset moe, qah, tiah Joab khaeah thuih pae o.
2 And the victory was turned that day into mourning to all the people, for the people heard say that day, The king grieves after his son.
To na niah misa pazawkhaih to oh, toe siangpahrang loe a capa pongah palungset moe, qah, tiah kaminawk mah thaih o naah, kaminawk boih han palungsethaih niah oh lat.
3 And the people stole away that day to go into the city, as people steal away when they are ashamed as they flee in the battle.
Misatuk naah kacawn kaminawk mah azathaih hoiah vangpui thungah akun o baktih toengah, kaminawk mah doeh to na niah vangpui thungah tamquta hoiah akun o duem.
4 And the king hid his face: and the king cried with a loud voice, My son Abessalom! Abessalom my son!
Siangpahrang loe mikhmai khuk khoep moe, tha hoiah qah; Aw ka capa Absalom, Aw Absalom, ka capa, ka capa, tiah qah.
5 And Joab went in to the king, into the house, and said, You have this day shamed the faces of all your servants that have delivered you this day, and [have saved] the lives of your sons and of your daughters, and the lives of your wives, and of your concubines,
To naah Joab loe siangpahrang imthung ah akun moe, Vaihniah na canu, na capanawk ih hinghaih, na zu, na zulanawk ih hinghaih pahlong kaminawk hoi na tamnanawk ih mikhmai to azat na pawsak boeh;
6 forasmuch as you love them that hate you, and hate them that love you; and you have this day declared, that your princes and your servants are nothing [in your sight]: for I know this day, that if Abessalom were alive, [and] all of us dead today, then it would have been right in your sight.
misanawk to na palung moe, nampuinawk to na hnukma. Nangmah ih misatuh angraengnawk hoi anih ih tamnanawk to tiah doeh na sah ai, tiah vaihniah nam tuengsak boeh; vaihniah Absalom to hing moe, kaicae boih ka duek o nahaeloe, palung nang hoe tih, tiah ka hnuk.
7 And now arise, and go forth, and speak comfortably to your servants; for I have sworn by the Lord, that unless you will go forth today, there shall not a man remain with you this night: and know for yourself, this thing [will] indeed [be] evil to you beyond all the evil that has come upon you from your youth until now.
To pongah, Angthawk loe, nangmah ih kaminawk khaeah thapaekhaih lok to thui ah. Angthawk moe, na caeh ai nahaeloe, vaiduem ah nang khaeah kami maeto doeh om mak ai boeh, tiah Angraeng ih ahmin hoiah lokkamhaih ka sak; to hmuen loe nang hanah nawkta nathuem hoi vaihni ni khoek to, na tongh ih raihaihnawk boih pongah sae kue tih, tiah a naa.
8 Then the king arose, and sat in the gate: and all the people reported, saying, Behold, the king sits in the gate. And all the people went in before the king to the gate; for Israel had fled every man to his tent.
To pongah siangpahrang loe angthawk moe, khongkha taengah anghnut. Khongkha taengah siangpahrang anghnut, tiah kaminawk mah panoek o naah, kaminawk boih anih hmaa ah angzoh o. Israel kaminawk loe angmacae im ah cawnh o boih boeh.
9 And all the people disputed amongst all the tribes of Israel, saying, King David delivered us from all our enemies, and he rescued us from the hand of the Philistines: and now he has fled from the land, and from his kingdom, and from Abessalom.
Israel acaeng boih salakah, kaminawk loe maeto hoi maeto lok angaek o; siangpahrang mah aicae misa ban thung hoiah pahlong; anih mah ni Philistin kaminawk ban thung hoiah aicae to pahlong; toe Absalom pongah anih mah vaihi prae to cawnhtaak boeh.
10 And Abessalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle: and now why are you silent about bringing back the king? And the word of all Israel came to the king.
Aicae ukkung ah a suek o ih Absalom loe, misatuk naah duek ving boeh pongah, tikhoe vaihi David to siangpahrang ah lak let hanah lok na thui o ai loe? tiah thuih o.
11 And king David sent to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak to the elders of Israel, saying, Why are you the last to bring back the king to his house? whereas the word of all Israel is come to the king to his house.
David siangpahrang mah angmah im ah oh moe, to lok to thaih naah, qaima Zadok hoi Abiathar khaeah kami patoeh moe, Judah kacoehtanawk khaeah, Tipongah siangpahrang angmah im ah thak let hanah kapoek hnukkhuem koek acaeng ah na oh o loe?
12 You [are] my brethren, you [are] my bones and my flesh: why are you the last to bring back the king to his house?
Nangcae loe kai ih nawkamya ah na oh o moe, ka thii ka ngan ah na oh o; tipongah siangpahrang angmah im ah amlaem haih let hanah, hnukkhuem koekah na oh o loe?
13 And you shall say to Amessai, [Are] you not my bone and my flesh? and now God do so to me, and more also, if you shall not be commander of the host before me continually in the room of Joab.
Amasa khaeah thui pae oh; Nang loe ka thii ka ngan ah na om ai maw? Vaihi hoi kamtong Joab zuengah kai ih misatuh zaehoikung angraeng ah na om ai nahaeloe, Sithaw mah ka nuiah lokcaek nasoe, kanung parai ah sah nasoe, tiah a thuih, tiah thui pae oh, tiah a naa.
14 And he bowed the heart of all the men of Juda as that of one man; and they sent to the king, saying, Return you, and all your servants.
Anih mah Judah kaminawk ih palung to kami maeto ih palungthin baktiah pazawk boih. To pongah nihcae mah siangpahrang khaeah, Nang loe na tamnanawk hoi nawnto amlaem o lai ah, tiah a naa o.
15 And the king returned, and came as far as Jordan. And the men of Juda came to Galgala on their way to meet the king, to cause the king to pass over Jordan.
To pongah siangpahrang loe amlaem moe, Jordan vapui khoek to caeh. Judah kaminawk loe, siangpahrang tongh hanah caeh o moe, Jordan vapui yaeh ah thak hanah Gilgal vangpui ah caeh o.
16 And Semei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, of Baurim, hasted and went down with the men of Juda to meet king David.
Bahurim ih Benjamin kami Gera capa Shimei loe, David siangpahrang hnuk hanah Judah kaminawk hoi nawnto angzoh o tathuk.
17 And a thousand men of Benjamin [were] with him, and Siba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons with him, and his twenty servants with him: and they went directly down to Jordan before the king,
Anih loe Benjamin ih kami sangto, Saul imthung takoh ih tamna Ziba ih caa hatlai pangato hoi anih ih tamna pumphaeto hoiah nawnto caeh moe, siangpahrang hmaa ah Jordan vapui to karangah angkat o.
18 and they performed the service of bringing the king over; and there went over a ferry-boat to remove the household of the king, and to do that which was right in his eyes. And Semei the son of Gera fell on his face before the king, as he went over Jordan;
Siangpahrang ih imthung takoh kaminawk to lak moe, a koeh ih hmuen sak pae hanah, palong hoiah caeh o. Jordan vapui to angkat o pacoengah, Gera capa Shimei loe siangpahrang hmaa ah akuep;
19 and said to the king, Let not my lord now impute iniquity, and remember not all the iniquity of your servant in the day in which my lord went out from Jerusalem, so that the king should mind it.
Siangpahrang khaeah, Ka angraeng, ka zaehaih na net hmah; ka angraeng siangpahrang, Jerusalem na tacawt taak na niah, na tamna kai mah sak ih hmuen to pakuem hmah loe, palung thungah doeh suem poe hmah.
20 For your servant knows that I have sinned: and, behold, I am come today before all Israel and the house of Joseph, to go down and meet my lord the king.
Na tamna kai loe hmuen sakpazae moeng boeh, tiah ka panoek; to pongah khenah, vaihniah Joseph imthung takoh boih thungah, ka angraeng siangpahrang hnuk hanah kang zoh hmaloe, tiah a naa.
21 And Abessai the son of Saruia answered and said, Shall not Semei therefore be put to death, because he cursed the Lord's anointed?
Toe Zeruiah capa Abishai mah, Angraeng mah situi nok tangcae ah kaom to anih mah tangoeng pongah, hae tiah kaom Shimel to paduek han om ai maw? tiah anaa.
22 And David said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Saruia, that you as it were lie in wait against me this day? today no man in Israel shall be put to death, for I know not if I this day reign over Israel.
David mah, Zeruiah capanawk, nangcae hoi kai misa ah angcoeng hanah takung timaw oh? Vaihniah Israel kami maeto paduek han oh maw? Kai loe Israel kaminawk ukkung siangpahrang ah ka oh, tiah panoek ai kami ah maw ka oh? tiah a naa.
23 And the king said to Semei, You shall not die: and the king swore to him.
To pongah siangpahrang mah Shimei khaeah, Na dueh mak ai, tiah a naa. Siangpahrang mah nang khaeah lokkamhaih sak boeh.
24 And Memphibosthe the son of Saul's son went down to meet the king, and had not dressed his feet, nor pared his nails, nor shaved himself, neither had he washed his garments, from the day that the king departed, until the day when he arrived in peace.
Saul capa patoeng Mephiboseth doeh siangpahrang tong hanah caeh tathuk; anih loe siangpahrang tacawt na ni hoi kamtong kamong ah amlaem let khoek to, a khok doeh khenzawn ai; a toektaboe mui doeh aat ai moe, khukbuen doeh pasuk ai.
25 And it came to pass when he went into Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, Why did you not go with me, Memphibosthe?
Jerusalem vangpui ah siangpahrang hnuk hanah a caeh naah, siangpahrang mah anih khaeah, Mephiboseth, tipongah kai hoi nawnto na caeh ai loe? tiah a naa.
26 And Memphibosthe said to him, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me; for your servant said to him, Saddle me the ass, and I will ride upon it, and go with the king; for your servant [is] lame.
Anih mah, Aw Ka angraeng, sianpahrang, na tamna kai loe khokkhaem pongah, laa hrang to kang thueng moe, siangpahrang hoi nawnto ka caeh han, tiah ka poek; toe ka tamna Ziba mah kai angling.
27 And he has dealt deceitfully with your servant to my lord the king: but my lord the king [is] as an angel of God, and do you that which is good in your eyes.
Anih mah, na tamna kai hae, nang khaeah kasae ang thuih; ka angraeng siangpahrang nang loe, Sithaw ih van kami baktiah na oh; to pongah na koeh baktiah na sah halat ah.
28 For all the house of my father were but as dead men before my lord the king; yet you have set your servant amongst them that eat at your table: and what right have I any longer even to cry to the king?
Kampa ih imthung takohnawk loe, ka angraeng siangpahrang hmaa ah ni ka duek o; toe na tamna hae na caboi nuiah buhcaa kaminawk salakah nang suek; to pongah siangpahrang hmaa ah laisaep han timaw ka tawnh? tiah a naa.
29 And the king said to him, Why speak you any longer of your matters? I have said, You and Siba shall divide the land.
Siangpahrang mah anih khaeah, Nang ih kawng kapop parai ah thuih han timaw oh? Ziba hoiah nang ih lawk to ampraek hanah lok ka takroek boeh, tiah a naa.
30 And Memphibosthe said to the king, Yes, let him take all, since my lord the king has come in peace to his house.
Mephiboseth mah siangpahrang khaeah, Ue, ka angraeng siangpahrang loe angmah im ah lunghoih ah amlaem let boeh pongah, anih mah hmuennawk to la boih nasoe, tiah a naa.
31 And Berzelli the Galaadite came down from Rogellim, and crossed over Jordan with the king, that he might conduct the king over Jordan.
Gilead acaeng Barzillai doeh Roge-lim vangpui hoiah angzoh moe, siangpahrang to Jordan vapui yaeh ah thak hanah anih hoi nawnto angkat hoi.
32 And Berzelli was a very old man, eighty years old; and he had maintained the king when he lived in Manaim; for he was a very great man.
Barzillai loe mitong parai boeh; saning quitazetto oh boeh moe, siangpahrang Mahanaim vangpui ah oh nathung, anih mah caaknaek hoiah a khetzawn; anih loe angraeng kami ah oh.
33 And the king said to Berzelli, You shall go over with me, and I will nourish your old age with me in Jerusalem.
Siangpahrang mah Barzillai khaeah, Kai hoi nawnto angzo ah, Jerusalam ah kai mah kang khetzawn han hmang, tiah a naa.
34 And Berzelli said to the king, How many [are] the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
Toe Barzillai mah siangpaharng khaeah, Jerusalem ah siangpahrang hoi nawnto ka caeh hanah, kai loe saning nazetto maw ka hing vop tih?
35 I am this day eighty years old: can I then distinguish between good and evil? Can your servant taste any longer what I eat or drink? can I any longer hear the voice of singing men or singing women? and therefore shall your servant any longer be a burden to my lord the king?
Vaihi saning quitazetto ka oh boeh; hmuen kasae kahoih ka pathlaeng thaih vop tih maw? Na tamna kai mah caaknaek mataeng doeh pataeng thai vop tih maw? Laa sah nongpa hoi nongpatanawk ih lok doeh ka thaih thai vop tih maw? Tipongah na tamna loe ka angraeng siangpahrang ih hmuenzit ah ka oh han loe?
36 Your servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why does the king return me this recompense?
Na tamna loe siangpahrang hoi nawnto Jordan vapui yaeh ah setta ni ka caeh thai tih boeh; tipongah siangpahrang mah hae baktih tangqum kai paek han angai vop?
37 Let, I pray you, your servant remain, and I will die in my city, by the tomb of my father and of my mother. And, behold, your servant Chamaam shall go over with my lord the king; and do you to him as it seems good in your eyes.
Na tamna kai loe amlaem halat ue; kaimah ih vangpui, kampa hoi kamno ih taprong taengah, ka duek halat han boeh. Toe khenah, na tamna Khimham to oh; anih loe ka angraeng siangpahrang hoiah nawnto caeh nasoe. Na koeh baktiah anih hanah hmuen to sah paeh, tiah a naa.
38 And the king said, Let Chamaam go over with me, and I will do to him what is good in my sight; and whatever you shall choose at my hand, I will do for you.
To naah siangpahrang mah, Khimham loe kai hoi nawnto caeh tih; na koeh ih hmuen boih anih hanah ka sak pae han; saksak na koeh ih hmuen to ka sak pae boih han, tiah a naa.
39 And all the people went over Jordan, and the king went over; and the king kissed Berzelli, and blessed him; and he returned to his place.
To pongah kaminawk boih Jordan vapui to angkat o. Siangpahrang loe tui angkat moe, Barzillai to mok pacoengah, tahamhoihaih paek; to pacoengah Barzillai loe angmah ih vangpui ah amlaem let.
40 And the king went over to Galgala, and Chamaam went over with him: and all the men of Juda went over with the king, and also half the people of Israel.
Siangpahrang loe Gilgat vangpui ah caeh, Khimham doeh anih hoi nawnto caeh toeng; Judah kaminawk boih hoi ahap Israel kaminawk mah siangpahrang to thak o.
41 And behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, Why have our brethren the men of Juda stolen you away, and caused the king and all his house to pass over Jordan, and all the men of David with him?
Khenah, Israel kaminawk loe siangpahrang khaeah angzoh o boih moe, siangpahrang khaeah, Tipongah kaicae ih nawkamya Judah kaminawk mah, siangpahrang hoi anih ih imthung takoh kaminawk, anih khaeah kaom David ih kaminawk to paquk o boih moe, Jordan vapui yaeh ah caeh o haih ving loe? tiah a naa o.
42 And all the men of Juda answered the men of Israel, and said, Because the king is near of kin to us: and why were you thus angry concerning this matter? have we indeed eaten of the king's food? or has he given us a gift, or has he sent us a portion?
To naah Judah kaminawk boih mah, Israel kaminawk khaeah, Siangpahrang loe kaicae ih canawk ah oh pongah ni hae tiah ka sak o; tipongah nangcae palungphui han oh? Siangpahrang ih caaknaek to kaicae mah ka caak pae o maw? To tih ai boeh loe kaicae hanah anih mah tangqum paek maw? tiah a naa o.
43 And the men of Israel answered the men of Juda, and said, We have ten parts in the king, and we are older than you, we have also an interest in David above you: and why have you thus insulted us, and why was not our advice taken before that of Juda, to bring back our king? And the speech of the men of Juda was sharper than the speech of the men of Israel.
To naah Israel kaminawk mah, Judah kaminawk khaeah, Kaicae loe siangpahrang nuiah taham hato ka tawnh o; to khue na ai, David imthung takoh kawng to thuih nahaeloe nangcae pongah loe kaicae hae anghnai kue. Tipongah siangpahrang thak let hanah kaicae dueng hmaloe ai ah, kaicae hae tidoeh sah ai ah na oh o loe? tiah a naa o. Toe Israel kaminawk ih lok pongah, Judah kaminawk ih lok to thacak kue.
