< 2 Samuel 4 >

1 And when Saul's son heard that Abner had died in Hebron, his hands became enfeebled, and all the Israelites were 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 who were captains of bands; the name of the one was Ba'anah, 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 Gittayim, and remained 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 on both feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan from Yizre'el, and his nurse took him up and fled: and it came to pass, in her haste to flee, that he fell, and was rendered 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 Ba'anah, went, and came at the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth, who was just lying in bed as usual at noon.
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 interior of the house, as buyers of wheat; and they smote him under the fifth rib: and Rechab and Ba'anah his brother escaped.
Amih rhoi te 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 Namely, they came into the house, while he was lying on his bed in his sleeping-chamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and cut off his head, and took his head, and went by the way of the plain all the 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 Ish-bosheth unto David to Hebron, and they said to the king, Behold, here is the head of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul thy enemy, who sought thy life: and the Lord hath granted to my lord the king vengeance this day on Saul, and on 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 But David answered Rechab and Ba'anah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, As the Lord liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
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 eyes as though he brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, who [thought] that I should give him a reward for his 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 man in his own house upon his bed? and now, behold, I will require his blood of your hand, and I will remove 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 gave the command to the young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up by the pool in Hebron. But the head of Ish-bosheth they took, 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.
