2 Samuel 19
1 And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weeps and mourns for Absalom.
Te vaengah Joab taengah tah, “Manghai tah rhap tih Absalom ham nguekcoi coeng ke,” tila a puenpah.
2 And the victory that day was [turned] into mourning for all the people; for the people heard say that day, The king is grieved for his son.
Loeihnah khaw tekah khohnin ah tah pilnam boeih ham nguekcoinah la coeng. A capa ham manghaia kothae,’ a ti teTe khohnin ah tah pilnam loha yaak.
3 And the people stole away that day into the city, as people steal away when ashamed of fleeing in battle.
Caemtloek lamloh a rhaelrham uh vaengaha hmaithae uh tih pilnam loha phaelhael bangla khopuei la kun ham khaw te khohnin ah tah pilnam khaw phaelhaeluh.
4 And the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, My son Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son!
Manghai loh a maelhmaia buenglueng. Te phoeiah manghai te ol ue la pang tih, “Ka capa Absalom, Absalom, ka capa aw, ka capa,” a ti.
5 And Joab came into the house to the king, and said, Thou hast put to shame this day the faces of all thy servants who have this day saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives and the lives of thy concubines;
JoabTe manghai im la kun tih, “Tihnin ah namah hinglu, na capa rhoek neh na canu rhoek kah hinglu, na yupuei rhoek kah hinglu neh na yula rhoek kah hinglu aka hlawt na sal rhoek boeih kah maelhmai he tihnin ah yah na bai coeng.
6 in that thou lovest them that hate thee, and hatest those that love thee. For thou hast declared this day, that neither princes nor servants are anything to thee: for to-day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died to-day, then it would have been right in thine eyes.
Lungnah ham tueng te na thiinah tih thiinah ham tueng te na lungnah. Na mangpa rhoek neh na sal rhoek he tihnin ah na yan sumsoek coeng. AbsalomTe hing vetih tihnin ah kaimih boeih ka duek uh koinih na mikhmuh ah thuem sue tite tihnin ah ka ming ngawn.
7 But now arise, go forth, and speak consolingly to thy servants; for I swear by Jehovah, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry one with thee this night; and that would be worse to thee than all the evil that has befallen thee from thy youth until now.
Thoo lamtah pongpa mai laeh. Na sal rhoek kah a lungbuei te hloep pah laeh. BOEIPA dongah ka toemngam coeng he, na cet pawt koinih hlaempang pakhat pataeng nang taengah hlang rhaeh mahpawh. Te vaengah na camoe lamloh tahae duela nang soah aka thoeng yoethaenah boeih lakah tahae kah he nang ham thae ngai coeng,” a tinah.
8 Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. And they told all the people, saying, Behold, the king is sitting in the gate. And all the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled every man to his tent.
Manghai te thoo tih vongka ah ngol. Te vaengah pilnam boeih taengla puen uh tih, “Vongka ah manghai om ke,” a tiuh. Te daengah pilnam boeihTe manghai kah mikhmuh ah ha pawk tih Israel amah kah dap la boeih rhaelrham van.
9 And all the people were at strife throughout the tribes of Israel, saying, The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land because of Absalom.
Pilnam boeiha om vaengah Israel koca rhoek boeih taengah lai a thui tih, “Mamih kah thunkha kut lamkah he manghai long ni mamih n'huul, Philisti kut lamkah mamih m'poenghal sak. Tedae Absalom kongah ni khohmuen lamloha yong he.
10 And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle; and now why are ye silent as to bringing the king back?
Mamih soah ng'koelh Absalom te caemtloek vaengah duek coeng. Te dongah balae tih manghai mael puei ham te hil na phah uh tarha,” a tiuh.
11 And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak to the elders of Judah saying, Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel is come to the king, to his house.
Te vaengah manghai David loh khosoih Zadok neh Abiathar te, “Judah patong rhoek te thui pah lamtah, 'Balae tih a im la manghai mael puei hamTe yulh na om uh eh, Israel pum kah ol long tah manghai te a imkhui aha paan coeng.
12 Ye are my brethren, ye are my bone and my flesh; and why will ye be the last to bring back the king?
Ka manuca rhoek nang, nangmih tah kamah rhuh, kamah saa ni. Te dongah balae tih manghai te mael puei hamTe yulh na om uh eh?,’ tinah.
13 And say to Amasa, Art thou not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually instead of Joab.
Te phoeiah Amasa te, “Nang tah ka rhuh neh ka saa moenih a?, Pathen loh kai taengah han saii nawn saeh. Joab yueng la hnin takuem ka mikhmuh ah caempuei mangpa la na om pawt atah amah loh rhoirhaep nawn saeh,'ti nah,” a ti nah tih ol a tah.
14 And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah as of one man; and they sent to the king, Return, thou and all thy servants.
Judah hlang boeiha thinko te hlang pakhat kah laa hong tih, “Namah neh na sal rhoek khaw boeih ha mael laeh,” tila manghai tea tahuh.
15 And the king returned and came as far as the Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to conduct the king over the Jordan.
Te dongah manghaiTe mael tih Jordan la pawk. Te vaengah JudahTe Gilgal la ha pawk tih manghai doe ham neh manghai te Jordan kat puei hamla cet.
16 And Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, who was of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David.
Te vaengah Bahurim lamkah Benjamin koca, Gera capa Shimei tah puk cu tih manghai David doe hamla Judah hlang neh suntla.
17 And there were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they forded the Jordan before the king.
Amah neh Benjamin lamkah hlang thawngkhat, Saul im kah tueihyoeih Ziba neh a capa hlang hlai nga, amah taengkah a sal pakul loh manghaiTe mikhmuh ah Jordan te a thaihtak thiluh.
18 And a ferry boat passed to and fro to carry over the king's household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king as he was [just] crossing over the Jordan.
Manghai imkhui khat puei ham neh a hmuh, a hmuh aha then saii hamTe vahcaeh ah kat. Jordana kat vaengah manghai kah mikhmuh ah Gera capa Shimeia bakoppah.
19 And he said to the king, Let not my lord impute iniquity to me, neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to heart.
Te phoeiah manghai te, “Ka boeipa kai sokathaesainahTe nawtna boel mai, ka boei manghai loh Jerusalem lamkaha nong khohnin ah na sal kah a paihaeh te poek voel boeh. Manghai loh a lungbuei te hnop mai saeh.
20 For thy servant knows that I have sinned; and behold, I am come the first this day of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.
Kamah ka tholh te na sal loh a ming. Tedae tihnin ah ka boei manghai doe hamla aka suntla Joseph imkhui pum khuiah lamhma la ka pawk coeng he,” a tinah.
21 And Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Should not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed Jehovah's anointed?
Zeruiah capa Abishai loh a doo tih, “BOEIPA kah a koelh mai thae aka phoei thil dongah ShimeiTe duek boel mai saeh a he,” a tinah.
22 And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries to me? Should there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king over Israel?
David loh, “Nangmih Zeruiah koca rhoek neh kai he me tlam lae, tihnin ah kai ham Satan la na omuh. Tihnin ah Israel khuiah hlang ng'ngawn aya? Tihnin ah kai loh Israel ka manghai thil te ka ming moenih a?,” a tinah.
23 And the king said to Shimei, Thou shalt not die. And the king swore to him.
Te phoeiah manghai loh Shimei te, “Na duek mahpawh,” a ti nah tih anih te manghai loha toemngam thil.
24 And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king. Now he had neither washed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came [again] in peace.
Saul capa Mephibosheth khaw manghai doe hamla suntla. Te vaengah a kho yuut pawh, a hmui khaw huih pawh. Manghaia caeh hnin lamloh sading la ha pawk hnin duela a himbai khaw suk pawh.
25 And as soon as Jerusalem came to meet the king, the king said to him, Why didst thou not go with me, Mephibosheth?
Te tlamTe om tih manghai doe hamTe Jerusalema pha. Te vaengah anih te manghai loh, “Mephibosheth balae tih kamah taengah na pongpa pawh,” a tinah.
26 And he said, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me; for thy servant said, I will saddle me the ass, and ride thereon, and go with the king; for thy servant is lame.
Te dongah, “Ka boei manghai aw, ka sal loh kai m'phok. Na salpa long he, 'Kamah ham laak ka khit saeh lamtah ka ngol eh. Te phoeiah na sal aka khaem he manghai taengla ka cet eh?,’ a ti coeng.
27 And he has slandered thy servant to my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God; do therefore what is good in thy sight.
Tedae ka boei manghai taengah na sal te a thainawn thil. Ka boei manghai tah Pathen kah puencawn banghui ni. Na mikhmuh ah then na ti bangla n'saii nawn.
28 For all my father's house were but dead men before my lord the king; and thou didst set thy servant among them that eat at thine own table. What further right therefore have I? and for what should I cry any more to the king?
A pa kah a cako he boeih om voel pawh. Ka boei manghai taeng lamkah loh hlang duek la om uh coeng dae na sal te na caboei dongah buh caak puei ham na paek sak, manghai taengah koep ka pang ham akhaw kai hamla duengnah om pueng aya?,” a tinah.
29 And the king said to him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land.
Te dongah anih te manghai loh, “Balae tih ol koep na thui, 'Nang neh ZibaTe khohmuen tael uh rhoi,’ ka ti,” a tinah.
30 And Mephibosheth said to the king, Let him even take all, since my lord the king is come again in peace to his own house.
Mephibosheth loh manghai taengah, “Boeih lo ngawn saeh, ka boei manghai loh sading la a im tea paan coeng atah,” a tinah.
31 And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim, and went over the Jordan with the king, to conduct him over the Jordan.
Giladi Barzillai khaw Rogelim lamkah suntla tih Jordan ngan, Jordan ngan ah thak hamla manghai te Jordana kat puei.
32 And Barzillai was very aged, eighty years old; and it was he that had maintained the king while he abode at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.
Barzillai tah kum sawmrhet lo coeng tih bahoeng patong ca coeng. Anih tah hlang len muep a om dongah manghai te Mahanaim ah a yalh vaengah anih loh a cangbam.
33 And the king said to Barzillai, Pass thou over with me, and I will maintain thee with me in Jerusalem.
Te dongah manghai loh Barzillai te, “Nang tah kamah neh kat sih lamtah Jerusalem ah tah kamah taengah nang te kan cangbam bitni,” a ti nah.
34 And Barzillai 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?
Barzillai loh manghai te, “Ka hingnaha kum khohnin meyet nim aka om tih Jerusalem manghai taengla ka caeh eh.
35 I am this day eighty years old: can I discern between good and bad? can thy servant taste what I eat and what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? and why should thy servant be yet a burden to my lord the king?
Tihnin ah kai kum sawmrhet aka lo ca long he a laklo ah a thaea then khaw ka ming aya?, Ka caak, ka ok te na sal loh a tuep thai aya? Huta tongpa kah a hlo hlai ol tea yaak pueng aya? Balae tih na sal he ka boei manghai ham hnorhih la koep a om suidae.
36 Thy servant will go a little way over the Jordan with the king; and why should the king recompense it to me with this reward?
Na sal loh manghaiTe Jordan bet m'poeng puei bitni. Ba ham lae manghai loh he bang khoboe neh kai nan thuung aih eh.
37 Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham: let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what seems good to thee.
Na sal he mael mai pawn saeh lamtah a nu a pa kah phuel kaep kamah kho ah ka duek mai eh. Na sal Khimham loh ka boei manghai te ng'kat puei saeh, anih te na mikhmuh ah then na ti bangla saii nawn,” a tinah.
38 And the king said, Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which seems good to thee; and whatsoever thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee.
Te dongah manghai loh, “Khimham loh kai n'kat puei saeh lamtah na mikhmuh aha then la anih te ka khueh bitni. Nang ham na ngaih boeih te kamah lamkah loh ka saii bitni,” a tinah.
39 And all the people went over the Jordan; and the king went over; and the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned to his own place.
Pilnam loh JordanTe Jordan boeiha kat daengah ni manghai tea kat pueng. Manghai loh Barzillai tea mok tih yoethen a paek phoeiah amah hmuen la mael.
40 And the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him; and all the people of Judah conducted the king, and also half the people of Israel.
Manghai loh Gilgal poeng duela Khimham loh a caeh puei. Te vaengah Judah pilnam boeih neh Israel pilnam rhakthuem loh manghaia thak rhoela a thakuh.
41 And behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away, and have brought the king, and his household, and all David's men with him, over the Jordan?
Te vaengah Israel hlang boeihTe manghai taengla pakcak pawk uh tih manghai taengah, “Balae mah manuca Judah hlang rhoek nang ng'liim tih manghai neh a imkhui khaw, David kah a hlang rhoek boeih te khaw, Jordana poeng puei uh,” a tiuh.
42 And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to me; and why then are ye angry for this matter? have we eaten anything which came from the king, or has he given us any present?
Te vaengah Judah hlang boeih loh Israel hlang te, “Manghai he kaimih neh ka yoei uh ta, tedae balae tih he olka dongah nangmih taengaha lungoe, manghai taengkah te ka caak khaw ka caak uh nim, kamamih ham ka phueih khaw ka phueih uh nim?,” a tiuh.
43 And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah and said, I have ten parts in the king and I have also more right in David than thou; and why didst thou slight me? and was not my advice the first, to bring back my king? And the words of the men of Judah were harsher than the words of the men of Israel.
Te dongah Israel hlang loh Judah hlang tea doo tih, “Kai neh manghai taengah ban parha om ta, nang lakah tah David khaw kamah ni. Balae tih kai nan hnaep, ka manghai mael puei ham he kamah taengah lamhma la ol ana om moenih,” a tinah. Tedae Judah hlang kah a olTe Israel hlang kah ol lakah lalh.
