2 Samuel 1
1 And it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, that David abode two days in Ziklag.
Saul duek pacoengah, David loe Amalek kaminawk humhaih ahmuen hoiah amlaem moe, Ziklag vangpui ah ni hnetto cam;
2 And it came to pass on the third day, that behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his garments rent, and earth upon his head; and as soon as he came to David, he fell to the earth and did obeisance.
ni thumto naah loe khenah, Kami maeto loe khukbuen kaprawn hoi lu nuiah maiphu to koeng moe, Saul misatukhaih ahmuen hoiah angzoh; anih loe David khaeah caeh moe, khingyahaih hoiah a hmaa ah longah akuep pae.
3 And David said to him, Whence comest thou? And he said to him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
David mah anih khaeah, Naa hoiah maw nang zoh? tiah a dueng. Anih mah, Israel misatukhaih ahmuen hoiah ka loih moe, kang zoh, tiah a naa.
4 And David said to him, What has taken place? I pray thee, tell me. And he said that the people had fled from the battle, and many of the people also had fallen and died, and that Saul and Jonathan his son were dead also.
David mah anih khaeah, Tamthang kawbangmaw oh? Na thui ah, tiah a naa. Anih mah, paroeai kaminawk loe misatukhaih ahmuen hoiah cawnh o, kami paroeai duek o; Saul hoi a capa Jonathan doeh duek hoi boeh, tiah a naa.
5 And David said to the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
David mah tamthang sinkung thendoeng khaeah, Saul hoi a capa Jonathan duek boeh, tiah kawbangmaw na panoek loe? tiah a naa.
6 And the young man that told him said, I happened by chance to be upon mount Gilboa, and behold, Saul leaned on his spear; and behold, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
Thendoeng mah anih khaeah, To nathuem ah kai loe Gilboa mae nuiah ka oh; anih patom hrang lakok hoi hrang angthueng misatuh kaminawk loe anih khaeah anghnai o aep aep, to naah khenah, angmah ih tayae hoiah kangthun Saul to ka hnuk.
7 And he looked behind him, and saw me, and called to me. And I said, Here am I.
Saul loe angqoi moe, kai ang hnuk naah, ang kawk. Kai mah, Hae ah ka oh, tiah ka naa.
8 And he said to me, Who art thou? And I said to him, I am an Amalekite.
Anih mah kai khaeah, Nang loe mi aa? tiah ang naa. Kai mah, Kai loe Amalek kami, tiah ka naa.
9 He said to me again, Stand, I pray thee, over me, and slay me; for anguish has seized me; for my life is yet whole in me.
To naah anih mah, Ka nuiah angdoeh loe, na hum ah; dueh ai ah nganbawh kana paroeai ka hak boeh, tiah ang naa.
10 So I stood over him, and put him to death, for I knew that he would not live after his fall; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither to my lord.
Anih loe amtim bung, to tiah amtimh pacoengah loe hing let mak ai boeh, tiah ka panoek pongah, anih nuiah kang doet moe, anih to ka hum. A lu nui ih angraeng lumuek hoi a ban ah zaeng ih banlakok to ka lak moe, ka angraeng nang khaeah kang sin, tiah a naa.
11 Then David took hold of his garments and rent them; and all the men that were with him [did] likewise.
To naah David hoi to ah kaom kaminawk boih mah angmacae ih kahni to asih o.
12 And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Jehovah, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
Saul hoi a capa Jonathan, Angraeng ih kaminawk, Israel kaminawk sumsen hoiah duek o boeh pongah, nihcae hanah duembang khoek to qah o haih moe, buhzah o.
13 And David said to the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he said, I am the son of an Amalekite stranger.
To tamthang sinkung thendoeng khaeah David mah, Nang loe naa ih kami aa? tiah a naa. Anih mah, Kai loe acaeng kalah Amalek kami ni, tiah a naa.
14 And David said to him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thy hand to destroy Jehovah's anointed?
David mah anih khaeah, Tipongah Angraeng mah situi bawh ih kami to zithaih tawn ai ah ban phok moe, na hum loe? tiah a naa.
15 Then David called one of the young men and said, Draw near, [and] fall on him. And he smote him that he died.
To naah David mah thendoeng maeto kawk moe, Caeh loe, anih to hum ah, tiah a naa. Anih mah to kami to takroek moe, duek.
16 And David said to him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth has testified against thee, saying, I have slain Jehovah's anointed.
David mah anih khaeah, Angraeng mah situi bawh ih kami to ka hum boeh, tiah pakha hoiah na thuih, Na thii loe na lu nuiah krah nasoe, tiah a naa.
17 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son;
David mah Saul hoi a capa Jonathan to hae tiah a qah haih;
18 and he bade them teach the children of Judah [the song of] the bow. Behold, it is written in the book of Jasher: —
David mah hae qahhaih lok hae Judah prae kaminawk mah amtuk o hanah thuih pae; Jashar cabu thungah tarik ih qahhaih lok loe,
19 The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
Israel lensawkhaih, nang loe nangmah ih ahmuen sang ah na duek boeh; thacak kaminawk loe duek o ving boeh!
20 Tell [it] not in Gath, carry not the tidings in the streets of Ashkelon; Lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, Lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
Gath vangpui ah thui o hmah, Ashkelon lampuinawk ah doeh thui o hmah; to tih ai nahaeloe Philistin kaminawk poeknawm o ueloe, tangzat hin aat ai kaminawk ih canunawk anghoe o moeng tih.
21 Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, no rain upon you, nor fields of heave-offerings! For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, The shield of Saul, [as] not anointed with oil.
Gilboa maenawk, na nuiah dantui hoi khotui omsak hmah; angbawnhaih sak hanah thingthai qumpo omsakkung lawknawk doeh omsak hmah lai ah; thacak kaminawk ih aphaw to vah o ving boeh moe, Saul ih aphaw doeh situi hoiah bawh o ai boeh.
22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan turned not back, And the sword of Saul returned not empty.
Hum ah kaom kaminawk ih athii, thacak kaminawk ih athawk hoi Jonathan ih kalii loe hnukbang ah amlaem let ai boeh; Saul ih sumsen doeh azom ah amlaem ai.
23 Saul and Jonathan, beloved and pleasant in their lives, Even in their death were not divided; They were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
Saul hoi Jonathan loe hing thung amlung hoi moe, hing thung ampui ah oh hoi; duek hoi naah doeh ampraek hoi ai; nihnik loe tahmu pongah angtawt rang hoi moe, kaipui pongah doeh thacak hoi kue.
24 Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet with splendour, Who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
Israel canunawk, kahoih khukbuen kathim angkhuk, kampha moe, sui hoi pathoep ih khukbuen angkhuk, Saul to qah o haih ah.
25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is slain upon thy high places.
Thacak kaminawk loe kawbangmaw misa ban ah duek o ving halat! Aw Jonathan, nang loe nangmah ih mae sang ah ang hum o ving boeh.
26 I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant wast thou unto me; Thy love to me was wonderful, passing women's love.
Kamnawk Jonathan, nang palung kang set haih; nang loe kai ih ampui ah na oh; nang palunghaih loe dawnrai han oh; nongpata palunghaih pongah doeh len kue.
27 How are the mighty fallen, and the instruments of war perished!
Thaca kaminawk loe kawbangmaw duek o ving halat! Misatukhaih maiphaw maicanawk doeh amro boih boeh, tiah David mah qahhaih zuklaeng to sak.
