Kings II 2
1 And it came to pass after this that David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up into one of the cities of Juda? and the Lord said to him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? and he said, To Chebron.
He hnukah khaw David loh BOEIPA te a dawt tih, “Judah khopuei pakhat la ka cet aya?” a ti nah. Te vaengah anih te BOEIPA loh, “Cet saw,” a ti nah. Te dongah David loh, “Melam ka caeh eh?,” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Hebron la,” a ti nah.
2 And David went up there to Chebron, [he] and both his wives, Achinaam the Jezraelitess, and Abigaia the wife of Nabal the Carmelite,
Te dongah David te a yuu rhoi, Jezreel nu Ahinoam, Karmel Nabal yurho Abigal neh a caeh puei.
3 and the men that were with him, every one and his family; and they lived in the cities of Chebron.
Amah taengkah a hlang rhoek khaw David loh a cako neh rhip a caeh puei tih Hebron khopuei rhoek ah kho a sak uh.
4 And the men of Judea come, and anoint David there to reign over the house of Juda; and they reported to David, saying, The men of Jabis of the country of Galaad have buried Saul.
Te vaengah Judah hlang rhoek te ha pawk uh tih David te Judah imkhui kah manghai la pahoi a koelh uh. Te phoeiah Jabesh Gilead hlang rhoek loh Saul a up uh te thui ham David taengla puen uh.
5 And David sent messengers to the rulers of Jabis of the country of Galaad, and David said to them, Blessed be you of the Lord, because you have wrought this mercy towards your lord, even towards Saul the anointed of the Lord, and you have buried him and Jonathan his son.
Jabesh hlang rhoek taengla David loh puencawn a hlah tih,” Sitlohnah he na boei rhoek taeng neh Saul taengah khaw na saii uh tih anih na up uh dongah BOEIPA rhang neh na yoethen uh.
6 And now may the Lord deal in mercy and truth towards you: and I also will requite towards you this good deed, because you have done this.
BOEIPA loh nangmih ham sitlohnah neh uepomnah han saii saeh. Hekah hno na saii uh dogah kai long khaw nangmih taengah hnothen he ka saii van bitni.
7 And now let your hands be made strong, and be valiant; for your master Saul is dead, and moreover the house of Juda have anointed me to be king over them.
Te dongah na kut te thahuel lamtah hlang tatthai la om laeh. Na boei Saul te duek cakhaw Judah imkhui ah manghai la kai khaw ng'koelh ta,” a ti nah.
8 But Abenner, the son of Ner, the commander-in-chief of Saul's army, took Jebosthe son of Saul, and brought him up from the camp to Manaem
Tedae Saul taengkah caempuei mangpa Ner capa Abner loh Saul capa Ishbosheth a loh tih Mahanaim a paan puei.
9 and made him king over the land of Galaad, and over Thasiri, and over Jezrael, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
Anih te Gilead, Ashuri, Jezreel, Ephraim, Benjamin neh Israel boeih soah a manghai sak.
10 Jebosthe, Saul's son [was] forty years old, when he reigned over Israel; and he reigned two years, but not over the house of Juda, who followed David.
Saul capa Ishbosheth te kum sawmli a lo ca vaengah Israel te a manghai thil tih kum nit manghai. Tedae Judah imkhui tah David hnukah bang uh.
11 And the days which David reigned in Chebron over the house of Juda were seven years and six months.
A khohnin he a tarhing la om. Manghai David he Hebron kah Judah imkhui ah kum rhih neh hla rhuk om.
12 And Abenner the son of Ner went forth, and the servants of Jebosthe the son of Saul, from Manaem to Gabaon.
Ner capa Abner loh Saul capa Ishbosheth kah sal rhoek te Mahanaim lamloh Gibeon la a khuen.
13 And Joab the son of Saruia, and the servants of David, went forth from Chebron, and met them at the fountain of Gabaon, at the same place: and these sat down by the fountain on this side, and those by the fountain on that side.
Zeruiah capa Joab neh David kah sal rhoek khaw hlah uh tih amih neh Gibeon tuibuem ah tun hum uh. Te vaengah pakhat rhoek te tuibuem khat ben ah, khat ben rhoek khaw tuibuem khat ben ah ngol uh.
14 And Abenner said to Joab, Let now the young men arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
Abner loh Joab taengah, “Camoe rhoek he thoo uh saeh lamtah mamih mikhmuh ah nae uh saeh,” a ti nah hatah, Joab loh, “Thoo uh mai saeh,” a ti nah.
15 And there arose and passed over by number twelve of the children of Benjamin, belonging to Jebosthe the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
Te dongah Benjamin ham neh Saul capa Ishbosheth ham te hlang hlai nit, David sal lamkah hlai nit a tarhing la thoo uh tih cet uh.
16 And they seized every one the head of his neighbour with his hand, and his sword [was thrust] into the side of his neighbour, and they fall down together: and the name of that place was called The portion of the treacherous ones, which is in Gabaon.
Te vaengah pakhat loh a hui lu te a kop, a hui long khaw a cunghang te a vae ah a kaelh van dongah darhek cungku uh. Te dongah tekah a hmuen Gibeon ah aka om te Helkathhazzurim la a khue.
17 And the battle was very severe on that day; and Abenner and the men of Israel were worsted before the servants of David.
Tekah khohnin ah caemtloek khaw kalthalh la muep om coeng tih Abner neh Israel hlang rhoek tah David sal rhoek kah mikhmuh ah yawk.
18 And there were there the three sons of Saruia, Joab, and Abessa, and Asael: and Asael was swift in his feet as a roe in the field.
Te vaengah Zeruiah ca rhoek Joab, Abishai neh Asahel pathum om uh tih Asahel tah kohong kirhang bangla a kap yanghoep.
19 And Asael followed after Abenner, and turned not to go to the right hand or to the left from following Abenner.
Asahel loh Abner hnuk te a hloem tih Abner hnuk lamkah banvoei, bantang la caeh ham khaw phael tlaih pawh.
20 And Abenner looked behind him, and said, Are you Asael himself? and he said, I am.
Abner te a hnuk la mael tih, “Asahel te nang a,” a ti nah hatah, “Kai ni ue,” a ti nah.
21 And Abenner said to him, Turn you to the right hand or to the left, and lay hold for yourself on one of the young men, and take to yourself his armour: but Asel would not turn back from following him.
Te dongah anih te Abner loh, “Nang te banvoei la bantang la mael lamtah camoe rhoek khuikah pakhat te namah ham tu laeh. A pumoep te khaw namah ham lo,” a ti nah. Tedae anih hnuk lamkah a nong ham tah Asahel loh huem pawh.
22 And Abenner said yet again to Asael, Stand aloof from me, lest I strike you to the ground? and how should I lift up my face to Joab?
Abner loh koep a rhaep tih Asahel te, “Nang te kai hnuk lamloh nong, balae tih nang te lai la kan ngawn eh? Na manuca Joab taengah ka mik metlam ka dai eh?,” a ti nah.
23 And what does this mean? return to Joab your brother? But he would not stand aloof; and Abenner smites him with the hinder end of the spear on the loins, and the spear went out behind him, and he falls there and dies on the spot: and it came to pass that every one that came to the place where Asael fell and died, stood still.
Tedae nong ham te a aal coeng dongah anih te Abner loh a hnuk longah caai neh a bung ah a thun. Te vaengah caai a nam la pawlh tih pahoi a cungku dongah amah ah duek. Te dongah Asahel cungku tih a duek nah hmuen la aka pawk boeih tah sut pai uh.
24 And Joab and Abessa pursued after Abenner, and the sun went down: and they went as far as the hill of Amman, which is in the front of Gai, by the desert way of Gabaon.
Tedae Abner hnuk aka hloem Joab neh Abishai tah khomik a tlak daengah Gibeon khosoek longpuei, Giyak imdan kah Ammah som la pawk rhoi.
25 And the children of Benjamin who followed Abenner gather themselves together, and they formed themselves into one body, and stood on the top of a hill.
Abner hnukkah Benjamin koca rhoek khaw coi uh thae tih rhoi at la om uh. Te phoeiah amih te som lu pakhat soah pai uh.
26 And Abenner called Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour perpetually? know you not that it will be bitter at last? How long then will you refuse to tell the people to turn from following our brethren?
Te vaengah Joab te Abner loh a khue tih, “Cunghang te a yoeyah la ca ne, hmailong ah hnorhih la a om ham te na ming moenih a? A manuca rhoek hnuk lamkah balkhong ham te pilnam taengah me hil nim na thui pawt ve,” a ti nah.
27 And Joab said, As the Lord lives, if you had not spoken, even from the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
Te dongah Joab loh, “Pathen kah hingnah vanbangla, mincang duela na thui ngawn pawt koinih, pilnam loh a manuca hnuk te khik a phatawt ni,” a ti nah.
28 And Joab sounded the trumpet, and all the people departed, and did not pursue after Israel, and did not fight any longer.
Joab loh tuki a ueng vaengah pilnam loh boeih pai uh. Te daengah Israel hnuk te hloem voel pawt tih, vathoh ham khaw khoep voel pawh.
29 And Abenner and his men departed at evening, [and went] all that night, and crossed over Jordan, and went along the whole adjacent [country], and they come to the camp.
Abner neh a hlang rhoek tah khoyin khing Arabah longah khong uh. Jordan a poeng uh phoeiah, Bithron pum te a lan uh tih Mahanaim la pawk uh.
30 And Joab returned from following Abenner, and he assembled all the people, and there were missing of the people of David, nineteen men, and Asael.
Joab loh Abner hnuk te a mael tak tih pilnam pum te a coi. Te vaengah David kah hlang sal hlai ko neh Asahel te hma.
31 And the servants of David struck of the children of Benjamin, of the men of Abenner, three hundred and sixty men belonging to him.
Tedae David kah sal rhoek loh Benjamin neh Abner kah hlang rhoek te a ngawn uh tih hlang ya thum sawmrhuk duek.
32 And they take up Asael, and bury him in the tomb of his father in Bethleem. And Joab and the men with him went all the night, and the morning rose upon them in Chebron.
Asahel te a khuen uh tih Bethlehem kah a napa phuel ah a up uh. Joab neh a hlang rhoek khaw khoyin puet cet uh tih Hebron ah khothai uh.
