2 Samuel 16
1 And when David was passed a little beyond the top [of the mount], behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth came toward him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and a hundred bunches of raisins, and a hundred [cakes] of dried figs, and a bottle of wine.
David loh som te hawt a poeng vaengah Mephibosheth kah tueihyoeih Ziba loh, laak rhoi te a khih tih vaidam hluem yahnih, misur rhae yakhat, khohal caak yakhat, misur khap at neh anih tarha han doe.
2 And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou with these? And Ziba said, The asses are for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and the dried figs for the young men to eat; and the wine to drink for such as may be faint in the wilderness.
Manghai loh Ziba te, “Na taengkah rhoek he balae he?” a ti nah. Ziba loh, “Laak rhoi te manghai cako loh a ngol nah ham, vaidam, vaidam neh khohal caak he camoe rhoek loh a caak ham, misur he khosoek kah lamlum rhoek loh a ok ham,” a ti nah.
3 And the king said, And where is thy master's son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he remaineth at Jerusalem; for he said, Today will the house of Israel restore unto me the kingdom of my father.
Manghai loh, “Na boei kah a capa ta?” a ti nah hatah Ziba loh, “Manghai te, ‘Tihnin ah a pa kah ram he Israel imkhui, kamah taengla ham mael pawn ni,’ a ti tih Jerusalem ah om ta ke,” a ti nah.
4 Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine shall be all that pertaineth unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I prostrate myself; let me but find grace in thy eyes, my Lord, O king.
Te phoeiah manghai loh Ziba te, “Mephibosheth taengkah aka om carhui tah nang ham coeng ni,” a ti nah. Te dongah Ziba loh, “Ka boei manghai kah na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang ham ni ka bakop coeng,” a ti.
5 And when King David came as far as Bachurim, behold, there came out thence a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shim'i, the son of Gera, coming forth, and cursing.
Manghai David loh Bahurim a pha vaengah tah Saul imkhui neh a huiko khui lamkah hlang pakhat lawt ha thoeng. Anih ming tah Gera capa Shimei tih a thoeng la, a thoeng neh thae a phoei.
6 And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right and on his left.
David neh manghai David kah sal rhoek boeih te lungto neh a dae. Te vaengah pilnam boeih neh hlangrhalh boeih loh banvoei, bantang ah om dae ta.
7 And thus said Shim'i as he cursed, Away, away, thou man of blood, and thou worthless man!
Shimei loh anih te kosi a sah thil vaengah, “Cet, cet, hlang thii aka hawk neh hlang muen.
8 The Lord hath brought back upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou didst reign; and the Lord hath placed the kingdom into the hand of Abshalom thy son; and, behold, thou art now in thy misfortune, because a man of blood art thou.
Saul imkhui kah a thii boeih te BOEIPA loh nangmih soah n'thuung coeng. Anih yueng la na manghai coeng dae ram he BOEIPA loh na capa Absalom kut ah a paek coeng. Na hlang thii dongah namah kah yoethae khuila na kun coeng te,” a ti nah.
9 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruyah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my Lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and remove his head.
Te vaengah Zeruiah capa Abishai loh manghai taengah, “Balae tih ui duek loh thae a phoei van he, ka boeipa manghai nang ka paan saeh lamtah a lu ka tloek pa pawn aya?” a ti nah.
10 And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruyah? so let him curse; because the Lord hath said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so?
Tedae manghai loh, “Kai neh nangmih Zeruiah koca rhoek tah mebang tloe lae? BOEIPA loh anih taengah, ‘David ke thaephoei thil,’ a ti nah atah thaephoei mai saeh saw. Te dongah, ‘He he ba ham lae na saii,’ u long a ti nah voel eh,” a ti nah.
11 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, who hath come forth out of my own body, seeketh my life: how much more now this Benjamite? let him alone, and let him curse; for the Lord hath said it to him.
David loh Abishai neh a sal rhoek boeih taengah, “Ka ko khui lamloh aka thoeng, ka capa long pataeng ka hinglu he a toem atah Benjamin koca long aisat te, anih te om ngawn saeh lamtah BOEIPA loh amah taengah a thui pah coeng dongah thaephoei ngawn saeh.
12 Perhaps the Lord will look on my affliction, and the Lord will requite me good instead of his cursing this day.
Ka mikhmuh kah ka thaesainah he BOEIPA loh a hmuh khaming. Tihnin ah anih kah rhunkhuennah yuengla BOEIPA loh kai hamla a then neh ham mael bitni,” a ti nah.
13 And David and his men went [thus] on the way. And Shim'i went on the side of the mount opposite to him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones toward him, and cast dust.
Te daengah David neh a hlang rhoek loh longpuei te a paan uh. Shimei te a khaepdan kah tlang hlaep ah a caeh vaengah khaw a caeh doela thae a phoei pueng. Amah kah voeivang ah lungto a dong tih laipi khaw a phaeh.
14 And the king, and all the people that were with him, arrived weary, and refreshed themselves there.
Manghai neh a taengkah pilnam boeih khaw buhmueh rhathih la ha pawk tih pahoi duem uh.
15 And Abshalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Achithophel [also] with him.
Te vaengah Absalom neh Israel hlang pilnam boeih te Jerusalem la pawk uh tih anih te Ahithophel loh a puei.
16 And it came to pass, when Chushai the Arkite, David's friend, was come unto Abshalom, that Chushai said unto Abshalom, Long live the king! Long live the king!
David kah olrhoep Arkii Hushai te Absalom taengla kun. Te phoeiah Hushai loh Absalom te, “Manghai tah hing pai saeh, manghai tah hing pai saeh,” a ti.
17 And Abshalom said to Chushai, Is this thy kindness for thy friend? why art thou not gone with thy friend?
Tedae Absalom loh Hushai te, “Na hui te na sitlohnah coeng atah balae tih na hui taengah na caeh pawh,” a ti nah.
18 And Chushai said unto Abshalom, No; but whom the Lord, and this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I be, and with him will I remain.
Hushai loh Absalom taengah, “Moenih, u khaw BOEIPA neh pilnam loh, Israel ca boeih loh a tuek atah, anih hut la ka om vetih, a taengah kho ka sak ni ta.
19 And secondly, who is it whom I shall serve? is it not in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence.
U taengah nim ka thohtat bal eh? Na pa mikhmuh ah ka thohtat bangla a capa mikhmuh ah moenih a? Te dongah namah mikhmuh ah ni ka om eh,” a ti nah.
20 Then said Abshalom to Achithophel, Hold counsel among yourselves as to what we shall do.
Te dongah Absalom loh Ahithophel taengah, “Ka saii uh ham te na cilsuep pae uh laeh,” a ti nah.
21 And Achithophel said unto Abshalom, Go in unto thy father's concubines, whom he hath left to guard the house; and all Israel will hear that thou art in bad odor with thy father: and then will the hands of all that are with thee become strong.
Tedae Ahithophel loh Absalom te, “Im tawt la a paih na pa kah yula rhoek te kun thil. Na pa kah borhim te Israel boeih loh ya saeh lamtah namah taengkah aka om hlang boeih kah a kut loh n'duel saeh,” a ti nah.
22 So they spread for Abshalom a tent upon the roof; and Abshalom went in unto his father's concubines before the eyes of all Israel.
Absalom ham te imphu ah dap a tuk pa uh. Absalom loh Israel tom kah mikhmuh ah a napa kah yula rhoek te a kun thil.
23 And the counsel of Achithophel, which he counseled in those days, was as if a man had asked advice of the word of God: so was all the counsel of Achithophel both with David and with Abshalom.
Te vaeng tue ah tah Ahithophel kah cilsuep a paek te Pathen kah olka aka dawt hlang banglam ni a om coeng. David taeng neh Absalom taengkah aka om te Ahithophel kah cilsuep boeih ni.
