2 Samuel 19
1 AND it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom.
Te vaengah Joab taengah tah, “Manghai tah rhap tih Absalom ham nguekcoi coeng ke,” tila a puen pah.
2 And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people: for the people heard say that day how the king was grieved for his son.
Loeihnah khaw tekah khohnin ah tah pilnam boeih ham nguekcoinah la coeng. A capa ham manghai a kothae,’ a ti te Te khohnin ah tah pilnam loh a yaak.
3 And the people gat them by stealth that day into the city, as people being ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.
Caemtloek lamloh a rhaelrham uh vaengah a hmaithae uh tih pilnam loh a phaelhael bangla khopuei la kun ham khaw te khohnin ah tah pilnam khaw phaelhael uh.
4 But the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!
Manghai loh a maelhmai a 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 shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, which 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 Te 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 thine enemies, and hatest thy friends. For thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest neither princes nor servants: for this day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased thee well.
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. Absalom Te hing vetih tihnin ah kaimih boeih ka duek uh koinih na mikhmuh ah thuem sue tite tihnin ah ka ming ngawn.
7 Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak comfortably unto thy servants: for I swear by the Lord, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry one with thee this night: and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil that befell 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 ti nah.
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: for 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 ti uh. Te daengah pilnam boeih Te manghai kah mikhmuh ah ha pawk tih Israel amah kah dap la boeih rhaelrham van.
9 And all the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king saved us out of the hand of our enemies, and he delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land for Absalom.
Pilnam boeih a 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 lamloh a yong he.
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?
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 ti uh.
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? seeing the speech of all Israel is come to the king, even 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 ham Te yulh na om uh eh, Israel pum kah ol long tah manghai te a imkhui ah a paan coeng.
12 Ye are my brethren, ye are my bones and my flesh: wherefore then are ye 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 ham Te yulh na om uh eh?,’ ti nah.
13 And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not of my bone, and of 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.
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, even as the heart of one man; so that they sent this word unto the king, Return thou, and all thy servants.
Judah hlang boeih a thinko te hlang pakhat kah la a hong tih, “Namah neh na sal rhoek khaw boeih ha mael laeh,” tila manghai te a tah uh.
15 So the king returned, and came to Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to conduct the king over Jordan.
Te dongah manghai Te mael tih Jordan la pawk. Te vaengah Judah Te Gilgal la ha pawk tih manghai doe ham neh manghai te Jordan kat puei hamla cet.
16 And Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite, which 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 went over 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 manghai Te mikhmuh ah Jordan te a thaihtak thiluh.
18 And there went over a ferry boat 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 come over Jordan;
Manghai imkhui khat puei ham neh a hmuh, a hmuh ah a then saii ham Te vahcaeh ah kat. Jordan a kat vaengah manghai kah mikhmuh ah Gera capa Shimei a bakop pah.
19 And said unto the king, Let not my lord impute iniquity unto 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 his heart.
Te phoeiah manghai te, “Ka boeipa kai sokathaesainah Te nawtna boel mai, ka boei manghai loh Jerusalem lamkah a nong khohnin ah na sal kah a paihaeh te poek voel boeh. Manghai loh a lungbuei te hnop mai saeh.
20 For thy servant doth know that I have sinned: therefore, 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 ti nah.
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 Abishai loh a doo tih, “BOEIPA kah a koelh mai thae aka phoei thil dongah Shimei Te duek boel mai saeh a he,” a ti nah.
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?
David loh, “Nangmih Zeruiah koca rhoek neh kai he me tlam lae, tihnin ah kai ham Satan la na om uh. Tihnin ah Israel khuiah hlang ng'ngawn aya? Tihnin ah kai loh Israel ka manghai thil te ka ming moenih a?,” a ti nah.
23 Therefore the king said unto Shimei, Thou shalt not die. And the king sware unto him.
Te phoeiah manghai loh Shimei te, “Na duek mahpawh,” a ti nah tih anih te manghai loh a toemngam thil.
24 And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king, and had neither dressed 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. Manghai a caeh hnin lamloh sading la ha pawk hnin duela a himbai khaw suk pawh.
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?
Te tlamTe om tih manghai doe ham Te Jerusalem a pha. Te vaengah anih te manghai loh, “Mephibosheth balae tih kamah taengah na pongpa pawh,” a ti nah.
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 to the king; because 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 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.
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 of my father’s house were but dead men before 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 to cry any more unto 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 ti nah.
29 And the king said unto 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 Ziba Te khohmuen tael uh rhoi,’ ka ti,” a ti nah.
30 And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king is come again in peace unto his own house.
Mephibosheth loh manghai taengah, “Boeih lo ngawn saeh, ka boei manghai loh sading la a im te a paan coeng atah,” a ti nah.
31 And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim, and went over Jordan with the king, to conduct him over Jordan.
Giladi Barzillai khaw Rogelim lamkah suntla tih Jordan ngan, Jordan ngan ah thak hamla manghai te Jordan a kat puei.
32 Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even fourscore years old: and he had provided the king of sustenance while he lay 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 unto Barzillai, Come thou over with me, and I will feed 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 unto the king, How long have I to live, that I should go up with the king unto Jerusalem?
Barzillai loh manghai te, “Ka hingnah a kum khohnin meyet nim aka om tih Jerusalem manghai taengla ka caeh eh.
35 I am this day fourscore years old: and can I discern between good and evil? 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?
Tihnin ah kai kum sawmrhet aka lo ca long he a laklo ah a thae a then khaw ka ming aya?, Ka caak, ka ok te na sal loh a tuep thai aya? Huta tongpa kah a hlo hlai ol te a 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 Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward?
Na sal loh manghai Te 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, and be buried 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 shall seem good unto 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 ti nah.
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.
Te dongah manghai loh, “Khimham loh kai n'kat puei saeh lamtah na mikhmuh ah a then la anih te ka khueh bitni. Nang ham na ngaih boeih te kamah lamkah loh ka saii bitni,” a ti nah.
39 And all the people went over Jordan. And when the king was come over, the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned unto his own place.
Pilnam loh JordanTe Jordan boeih a kat daengah ni manghai te a kat pueng. Manghai loh Barzillai te a mok tih yoethen a paek phoeiah amah hmuen la mael.
40 Then 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 manghai a thak rhoela a thak uh.
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 have brought the king, and his household, and all David’s men with him, over Jordan?
Te vaengah Israel hlang boeih Te 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, Jordan a poeng puei uh,” a ti uh.
42 And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to us: wherefore then be ye angry for this matter? have we eaten at all of the king’s cost? or hath he given us any gift?
Te vaengah Judah hlang boeih loh Israel hlang te, “Manghai he kaimih neh ka yoei uh ta, tedae balae tih he olka dongah nangmih taengah a lungoe, manghai taengkah te ka caak khaw ka caak uh nim, kamamih ham ka phueih khaw ka phueih uh nim?,” a ti uh.
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.
Te dongah Israel hlang loh Judah hlang te a 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 ti nah. Tedae Judah hlang kah a ol Te Israel hlang kah ol lakah lalh.
