2 Samuel 19

1 And it was told Joab: 'Behold, the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom.'

Siangpahrang teh Absalom hanelah a khui a ka tie Joab koe a dei pouh awh.

2 And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people; for the people heard say that day: 'The king grieveth for his son.'

Hot hnin e tânae teh tami pueng hanelah lungmathoe nahanelah doeh ao. Siangpahrang ni a capa pou a khuikakhai tie hah a thai awh.

3 And the people got them by stealth that day into the city, as people that are ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.

Tarantuknae koehoi ka yawng e naw ni kayanae lahoi khothung duem a kâen awh e patetlah hot hnin navah arulahoi khothung duem a kâen awh.

4 And the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice: 'O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!'

Siangpahrang ni a minhmai a ramuk teh, Oe ka capa Absalom, Oe Absalom, ka capa, ka capa telah kacaipounglah a khuika.

5 And Joab came into the house to the king, and said: 'Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, who this day have 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;

Joab ni siangpahrang koe a cei teh, imthungkhu a kâen, na hringnae na canu na capa a hringnae hoi na yu hoi na yudonaw a hringnae karungngangnaw hah sahnin vah na kaya sak awh toe.

6 in that thou lovest them that hate thee, and hatest them that love thee. For thou hast declared this day, that princes and servants are nought unto thee; for this day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased thee well.

Nang na kamaithoenaw lung na pataw teh, nang lungpataw naw law teh na maithoe toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kacuenaw hoi ransanaw teh nama hanelah bang hoeh lah sahnin na kamnue sak. Absalom hring pawiteh, kaimanaw hah sahnin be kadout awh pawiteh, na lung a hawi han doeh telah sahnin ka hmunae lah ao atipouh.

7 Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak to the heart of thy servants; for I swear by the LORD, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry a man with thee this night; and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil that hath befallen thee from thy youth until now.'

Thaw nateh alawilah tâcawt nateh, na sannaw hnâroumnae lawk dei pouh leih. Na tâcawt hoehpawiteh, tami buet touh hai atu tangmin nang koe kaawm awh mahoeh toe. Hote hno teh na nawca hoi sahnin totouh nang dawk kaawm e hlak hoe kathout han, telah BAWIPA thoebo laihoi ka dei telah atipouh.

8 Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. And they told unto all the people, saying: 'Behold, the king doth sit in the gate'; and all the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled every man to his tent.

Siangpahrang teh a thaw teh, rapan longkha koe a tahung. Siangpahrang rapan longkha koe a tahung e taminaw ni a thai awh toteh, ahni koe a cei awh. Isarelnaw teh amamae rim koelah be a kâran awh.

9 And all the people were at strife throughout all 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 from Absalom.

Isarel miphunnaw dawk buet touh hoi buet touh kâounnae ao. Siangpahrang ni taran kut dawk hoi na rungngang. Filistinnaw e kut dawk thung hoi na rungngang. Atuvah Absalom kecu dawk ram thung hoi a yawng.

10 And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now, therefore, why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back?'

Maimouh ni satui awi awh e Absalom teh tarantuknae koe a due toe. Bangkongmaw siangpahrang bout bankhai awh hane na dei awh hoeh. Bangkong lawkkamuem lah na o awh telah a kâpakung awh.

11 And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying: 'Speak unto the elders of Judah, saying: Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house? — For the speech of all Israel was come to the king, to bring him to his house. —

Siangpahrang Devit ni vaihma Zadok hoi Abiathar koe, Judah kacuenaw koe bangkongmaw siangpahrang hah a im lah ceisak hane, bangkong hnuk na teng awh. Isarelnaw ni a dei awh e lawk patenghai siangpahrang koe a pha teh a thai toe.

12 Ye are my brethren, ye are my bone and my flesh; wherefore then should ye be the last to bring back the king?

Nangmanaw teh ka hmaunawngha ka hru, ka tak doeh. Siangpahrang koe bout thaisak hane hah bangkong hnuk na teng awh.

13 And say ye 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 in the room of Joab.'

Amasa koevah, nang hah kaie ka hru, ka tak lah na awm hoeh maw. Joab yueng lah ka hmaitung ransabawi lah na awm sak hoehpawiteh, Cathut ni ahawi ati e patetlah kai dawk sak naseh, telah dei pouh awh, telah tami a patoun.

14 And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as the heart of one man; so that they sent unto the king: 'Return thou, and all thy servants.'

Hottelah Judah miphunnaw hah lungthin buet touh e patetlah ao sak. Siangpahrang koevah, a taminaw hoi ban awh telah dei pouh hanelah taminaw hah a patoun.

15 So the king returned, and came to the Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring the king over the Jordan.

Siangpahrang teh a ban teh, Jordan tui koe a pha. Judahnaw ni siangpahrang a dawn awh teh, Jordan tui namran lah thak hanelah Gilgal kho koelah a cei awh.

16 And Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, who was of Bahurim, made haste and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David.

Benjamin miphun Bahurim kho e tami Gera capa Shimei teh karanglah siangpahrang dawn hanelah Judahnaw koe a cei van.

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 rushed into the Jordan before the king.

Benjamin miphun 1, 000, Sawl imthung e a san Ziba hoi a capa 15 touh hoi a san 20 touh a tho awh teh, siangpahrang e a hmaitung vah Jordan tui a raka awh.

18 And the ferryboat passed to and fro to bring over the king's household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, when he would go over the Jordan.

Siangpahrang imthungnaw a thak sak nahanelah, a panki e sak nahanelah, a ceikhai awh. Jordan tui a raka awh navah, Gera capa Shimei teh siangpahrang hmalah a tabo.

19 And he said unto the king: 'Let not my lord impute iniquity unto me, neither do thou remember that which thy servant did iniquitously the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart.

Ka bawipa ni payonnae ka tawn e lah na pouk hanh naseh. Siangpahrang ka bawipa ni Jerusalem a tâcotakhai hnin vah, na san ni kalan hoeh e lah sak e hah, na pâkuem pouh hanh. Siangpahrang ni a lung dawk pâkuem hanh naseh.

20 For thy servant doth know that I have sinned; therefore, behold, I am come this day the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.'

Na san ni yonnae ka sak e hah na san kai ni ka panue. Hateiteh, Joseph imthungnaw dawk, ka bawipa dawn hanelah ahmaloe ka tho e doeh telah ati.

21 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said: 'Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD'S anointed?'

Zeruiah capa Abisai ni BAWIPA ni satui a awi e thoe a bo dawkvah, Shimei hah dei hane nahoehmaw telah ati.

22 And David said: 'What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries unto me? shall there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king over Israel?'

Devit ni nangmanaw Zeruiah capanaw sahnin kai na taran hane, kai hoi bangmaw na kâseng awh. Sahnin Isarel ka kâtet pueng thei hanelah maw kai teh sahnin Isarel siangpahrang lah ka o tie ka panuek hoeh na maw telah ati.

23 And the king said unto Shimei: 'Thou shalt not die.' And the king swore unto him.

Siangpahrang ni Shimei koevah, na dout mahoeh telah lawk a kam.

24 And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king; and he had neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace.

Sawl capa Mephibosheth teh siangpahrang dawn hanelah a tho. Siangpahrang a cei hnin hoiyah karoumcalah bout a tho hoehnahlan totouh, a khok pâsu hoeh, a pâkhamuen ngaw hoeh, a hni hai pâsu hoeh.

25 And it came to pass, when he was come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him: 'Wherefore wentest not thou with me, Mephibosheth?'

Siangpahrang dawn hanelah Jerusalem kho koe a pha navah, siangpahrang ni Mephibosheth, bangkong kai koe na cei van hoeh telah ati.

26 And he answered: 'My lord, O king, my servant deceived me; for thy servant said: I will saddle me an ass, that I may ride thereon, and go with the king; because thy servant is lame.

Oe siangpahrang ka bawipa, ka san ni na dum. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na san ni siangpahrang koe cei hanelah la kâcui thai nahanlah kârasoup han ka ti ei, na san teh ka khokkhem.

27 And he hath slandered thy servant unto my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God; do therefore what is good in thine eyes.

Siangpahrang ka bawipa nang koevah, na san heh na pathoe. Hateiteh, siangpahrang ka bawipa teh, Cathut kalvantami patetlah ao. Ahawi na tie patetlah sak lawih.

28 For all my father's house were deserving of death at the hand of my lord the king; yet didst thou set thy servant among them that did eat at thine own table. What right therefore have I yet? or why should I cry any more unto the king?'

Bangkongtetpawiteh, imthungnaw heh siangpahrang hmaitung be thei hanelah a kamcu. Hatei, na san teh caboi dawk rawca ka ven e lah na o sak. Hatdawkvah, siagpahrang koevah kai ni hno alouke ka hei ngam hane bangmaw kaawm telah atipouh.

29 And the king said unto him: 'Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I say: Thou and Ziba divide the land.'

Siangpahrang ni nange kong bangmaw dei hanelah kaawm. Nang hoi Ziba ni lawhmuen na kârei roi han telah kai ni ka dei toe tayaw telah ati.

30 And Mephibosheth said unto the king: 'Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king is come in peace unto his own house.'

Mephibosheth ni siangpahrang koevah, siangpahrang teh ama im vah karoumcalah a pha dawkvah, ama ni abuemlahoi lat lawi naseh telah atipouh.

31 And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim; and he passed on to Jordan with the king, to bring him on the way over the Jordan.

Gilead tami Barzillai hah Rogelim kho lahoi a tho teh, siangpahrang teh Jordan tui rakakhai hanelah ahni koe a cei van.

32 Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even fourscore years old; and he had provided the king with sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.

Barzillai teh a kum 80 touh a pha toe. A matawng toe. Mahanaim vah siangpahrang ao nah thung teh canei hane kawi ouk a poe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni teh ka tawnta poung e lah ao.

33 And the king said unto Barzillai: 'Come thou over with me, and I will sustain thee with me in Jerusalem.'

Siangpahrang ni Barzillai koevah, kai koe tho van nateh, Jerusalem kho kai koe awm nateh, na kawk han telah atipouh.

34 And Barzillai said unto the king: 'How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king unto Jerusalem?

Barzillai ni siangpahrang koevah, nâsittouh maw ka hring rah vaiteh, Jerusalem siangpahrang koe ka cei van han vaiyoe.

35 I am this day fourscore years old; can I discern between good and bad? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king?

Sahnin kai teh kum 80 touh ka pha toe. A thoe hoi hawi kapek thai hoeh toe. Kai ni ka canei e a tui hoi tui hoeh e hai ka panue yaw toung. Tongpa napui naw e la sak pawlawk hai ka thai hoeh toe. Na san kai ni siangpahrang ka bawipa hanelah, hmuenri lah khuet ka o han vaw.

36 Thy servant would but just go over the Jordan with the king; and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward?

Na san ni siangpahrang koe, Jordan tui na raka totouh dueng doeh ka tho thai ti. Bangkong nama siangpahrang ni het patetlae tawkphu khuet na poe han vaw.

37 Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back, that I may die in mine own city, by the grave of my father and my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good unto thee.'

Na san kai teh ka onae kho dawk, apa e tangkom koe ka due hanelah na ban sak leih. Na san Khimham ao doeh. Siangpahrang hoi rei cet sak. Ahawi na tie patetlah na sak han telah atipouh.

38 And the king answered: 'Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good unto thee; and whatsoever thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee.'

Siangpahrang ni Khimham teh kai hoi rei ka cei roi han. Ahawi na tie patetlah ahni dawk ka sak han. Na hei e pueng hai na sak pouh han telah atipouh.

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 unto his own place.

Tami pueng hai Jordan tui namran lah a raka awh. Siangpahrang ama dueng a raka hnukkhu, Barzillai hah a tapam a paco teh yawhawi a poe teh aonae koe lah a ban.

40 So the king went over to Gilgal, and Chimham went over with him; and all the people of Judah brought the king over, and also half the people of Israel.

Siangpahrang teh Gilgal kho a cei. Khimham hai ahni koe a cei van. Judahnaw ni siangpahrang teh a thak awh. Isarel taminaw ni hai a thak awh van.

41 And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said unto the king: 'Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away, and brought the king, and his household, over the Jordan, and all David's men with him?'

Isarelnaw pueng siangpahrang koe a tho awh teh, bangkongmaw hmaunawngha Judahnaw ni hoe a hnai awh teh, siangpahrang hoi a imthungnaw hoi Jordan tui namran lah koung a ceikhai awh telah ati awh.

42 And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel: 'Because the king is near of kin to us; wherefore then are ye angry for this matter? have we eaten at all of the king's cost? or hath any gift been given us?'

Judahnaw ni siangpahrang teh kaimouh hoi kâhnai e lah ao dawkvah, bangkongmaw hete kong dawk na lungkhuek. Siangpahrang e rawcanaw kaimouh ni ka ca ka nei awh maw. Kaimouh koe na poe awh e hno ao maw telah Isarelnaw hanelah atipouh.

43 And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said: 'We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more right in David than ye; why then did ye despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king?' And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.
