2 Samuel 1
1 Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;
Saul a dueknah hnukah David te Amalek a tloek lamkah ha mael. Te vaengah David Te Ziklag ah hnin nit om.
2 It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did reverence.
Hnin thum a om phoeiah Saul taengkah hlang Te caem lamkah tarha ha pawk. A himbai te a pawnsoem la a lu dongkah laipi neh David taengla ha pawk vaengah lai la yalh tih a bawk.
3 And David said unto him, From whence come you? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
Anih te David loh, “Me lamkah lae na pawk,” a ti nah. Te dongah amah te, “Israel caem lamloh ka yong,” a ti nah.
4 And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray you, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.
Te dongah anih te David loh, “Olka aka om te kai taengah thui laeh,” a ti nah hatah pilnam Te caemtloek lamkah rhaelrham tih pilnam muep a duek Te khaw, Saul a duek Te khaw, a capa Jonathan a duek khaw a thui pah.
5 And David said unto the young man that told him, How know you that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?
Te dongah amah taengla aka puen cadong te David loh, “Saul neh a capa Jonathan a duek te me tlam lae na ming?” a ti nah.
6 And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
Amah taengla aka puen cadong loh, “Gilboa tlang la ka thoeng rhoe ka thoeng. Te vaengah Saul Te amah kah caai dongah hangdang tih leng neh marhang caem boei rhoek loh anih Te tarha a cuuk thiluh.
7 And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I.
Te vaengah a hnukla ha mael tih kai m'hmuh hatah ng'khue tih, 'Kai ni he ue,’ ka ti nah.
8 And he said unto me, Who are you? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.
Te phoeiah kai te, “Nang ulae,” a ti. Te dongah anih te ka doo tih, “Kai Amalek ni,” ka ti nah.
9 He said unto me again, Stand, I pray you, upon me, and slay me: for anguish has come upon me, because my life is yet whole in me.
Te vaengah, “Kai taengah pai lamtah kai he n'duek sak laeh, duekrhui loh kai n'tuuk tih ka khuiah ka hinglu khaw khak om pueng he,” a ti.
10 So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here unto my lord.
Tedae a cungku coeng he tah hing mahpawh tila ka ming dongah anih te ka pai tih ka duek sak. Te phoeiah a lu dongkah rhuisam neh a ban dongkah cak te ka loh tih ka boei taengla pahoi kang khuen,” a ti nah.
11 Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:
Te dongah David loh a himbai te a paco tih a phen hatah a taengkah hlang rhoek long khaw boeih a rhoi uh.
12 And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
cunghang neh a cungku uh coeng dongah Israel imkhui ham khaw, BOEIPA kah pilnam ham khaw, Saul ham neh a capa Jonathan ham khaw a rhaengsae uh. Rhap uh tih kholaeh duela a yaeh uh.
13 And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence are you? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.
Te phoeiah amah taengla aka puen camoe te David loh, “Nang me lamkah lae,” a ti nah hatah, “Kai tah Amalek yinlai, hlang capa ni,” a ti nah.
14 And David said unto him, How were you not afraid to stretch forth your hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?
Tedae anih te David loh, “BOEIPA kah a koelh te thup hamla kut na hlah te balae tih na rhih pawh?” a ti nah.
15 And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he stroke him that he died.
Te phoeiah David loh cadong pakhat te a khue tih, “Thoeih lamtah, a cuuk thil,” a ti nah. Te dongah a ngawn tih duek.
16 And David said unto him, Your blood be upon your head; for your mouth has testified against you, saying, I have slain the LORD's anointed.
Anih te David loh, “'BOEIPA kah a koelh te kai loh ka duek sak,’ na ti tih na ka loh namah taengah a phoe coeng dongah na thii khaw namah thii vanbangla namah lu soah tla saeh,” a ti nah.
17 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
Saul neh a capa Jonathan te David loh rhahlung neh a rhaengsae.
18 (Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)
Te dongah Jashar cabu dongkah a daek liva laa he Judah ca rhoek a cang ham a thui.
19 The beauty of Israel is slain upon your high places: how are the mighty fallen!
Israel kirhang hlangrhalh nang loh, hmuensang ah balae tih a rhok la a cung uh.
20 Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
Gath ah na puen pawh, Ashkelon tollong ah khaw na phong pawh. Philisti nu loh n'kokhah ve pumdul nu rhoek sundaep uh ve.
21 All of you mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil.
Gilboa tlang ah buemtui tla boel saeh, nang soah khotlan khaw bo boel saeh. Saul kah photling, hlangrhalh photling te na tuei dongah khocang hmuen loh situi nen khaw koelh boel saeh.
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.
Hlangrhalh tha neh salaem thii he, Jonathan kah liva loh a hnuk la balkhong tak pawt tih Saul kah cunghang khaw kuttling la a mael moenih.
23 Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
Saul neh Jonathan lung uh rhoi. A hing khuiah naepnoi rhoi tih a duek vaengah tuiphih pawh. Aatha lakah yanghoep rhoi tih, sathueng lakah a na rhoi.
24 All of you daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
Nangmih a lingdik neh omthennah aka bawn tih, na pueinak dongah sui cangen neh aka cam Israel nu rhoek loh, Saul te rhah uh lah.
25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, you were slain in your high places.
Na hmuensang kah Jonathan te, hlangrhalh rhoek loh caemrhal laklo ah a rhok la a cungku sakuh.
26 I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant have you been unto me: your love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.
Ka manuca Jonathan nang ham kai n'daengdaeh. Kai taengah na hlahmae sut tih, yuu kah lungnah lakah khaw kai ham tah, nang kah lungnah ni khobaerhambae coeng.
27 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
Balae tih hlangrhalh rhoek a cungku uh vaengah, caemtloek kah hnopai khaw a paltham.
