< 2 Samuel 4 >
1 And when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands were enfeebled, and all Israel was troubled.
Hebron ah Abner a duek te Saul capa loh a yaak vaengah a kut la sut kha tih Israel rhoek khaw boeih let uh.
2 And Saul's son had two men, captains of bands: the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin; for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin.
Saul capa he hlang panit caem mangpa la om rhoi. Pakhat ming tah Baanah tih a pabae ming tah Benjamin koca lamkah Beeroth Rimmon capa Rekhab ni. Te vaengah Beeroth khaw Benjamin la a tae thil coeng.
3 And the Beerothites had fled to Gittaim, and were sojourners there until this day.
Tedae Beeroth te Gatayim la yong tih a om coeng dongah tihnin due pahoi bakuep.
4 And Jonathan Saul's son had a son that was lame of [his] feet. He was five years old when the news came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jizreel; and his nurse took him up and fled. And it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.
Te vaengah Saul capa Jonathan kah a ca tongpa kho khaem tah kum nga lo ca coeng. Jezreel lamkah Saul neh Jonathan kah olthang a pawk vaengah anih aka poeh loh anih te a poeh tih a rhaelrham puei. Tedae a rhaelrham hamla a tamto dongah a paloe puei tih vik khaem. Anih ming tah Mephibosheth ni.
5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went and came in about the heat of the day into the house of Ishbosheth, who was taking his noonday rest.
Beeroth Rimmon capa Rekhab neh Baanah Te cet rhoi tih khothun kholing ah Ishbosheth im la pawk rhoi. Te vaengah Isboeseth Te imphu kah thingkong dongah ana yalh.
6 And they came thither into the midst of the house, [as though] they would fetch wheat; and they smote him in the belly; and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
Amih rhoiTe cangrhang aka lo bangla im khui la kun rhoi tih a bung ah a thun rhoi. Te phoeiah Rekhab neh a mana Baanah te vawl vi uh rhoi.
7 They came into the house, as he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him; and they took his head, and went by the way of the plain all night.
Im a pha rhoi vaengah Ishbosheth tah imhman thingkong dongkah baiphaih dongah yalh. Te dongah anih te a ngawn rhoi tih a duek sak phoeiah a lu te a rhaih pah rhoi. Anih lu te a khuen rhoi tih khoyin khing Arabah long ah cet rhoi.
8 And they brought the head of Ishbosheth to David in Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, thine enemy who sought thy life; and Jehovah has given to my lord the king to be avenged this day of Saul and of his seed.
Ishbosheth lu te Hebron kah David taengla a pawk puei rhoi tih manghai te, “Na thunkha Saul capa Ishbosheth kah a lu he. Anih loh na hinglu a mae dae BOEIPA loh ka boeipa manghai taengah hang khueh coeng. Tawnlohnah tah tihnin ah Saul so neh a tiingan soah pai coeng he,” a ti rhoi.
9 Then David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, [As] Jehovah liveth, who has redeemed my soul out of all distress,
Tedae David loh Beeroth Rimmon capa Rekhab neh a mana Baanah te a doo tih, “BOEIPA kah hingnah dongah ka hinglu he citcai cungkuem lamkah aka lat,
10 when one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead! and he was in his own sight a messenger of good, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag — to whom forsooth I should give a reward for his good tidings:
Saul a duek tarha vaengah kai taengla ha puen tih a thui Te amah mikhmuh neh aka phong bangla om. Tedae anih kah olthangthen ka thuung ham te amah ni ka tuuk tih Ziklag ah ka ngawn.
11 how much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed? and should I not now demand his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?
Hlang dueng, a im kah thingkong dongkah mai aka ngawn hlang rhoi he halang rhoi coeng. A thii te na kut dong lamloh ka suk vetih diklai lamloh nangmih rhoi te kang khoe pawn mahpawt nim?,” a ti nah.
12 And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged [them] up over the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
David loh tueihyoeih rhoek te a uen tih amih rhoi te a ngawn uh. A kut a kho te a tlueh pa tih Hebron tuibuem ah a hoei uh. Tedae Ishbosheth kah a lu te tah a khuen uh tih Hebron kah Abner phuel ah a up uh.
