< 1 Kings 2 >
1 And the days of David to die draw near, and he charges his son Solomon, saying,
David lengpa hi a thina ding phat ahung nai phat in aman achapa Solomon chu hiti hin vailhahna ana neipeh in ahi.
2 “I am going in the way of all the earth, and you have been strong, and become a man,
“Keima hi Leiset chung’a um mihem jouse phatkhat leh ache cheh na diu mun chu kajot ding ahitai. Nangman hangsan tah in pasal phatah umchan hin th in,
3 and you have kept the charge of your God YHWH, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commands, and His judgments, and His testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, so that you do wisely [in] all that you do, and wherever you turn,
Pakai na Pathen lungdei lam in hung chon inlang, alampi hin jui jing in, athupeh leh a dan ho Mose Danthu Lekhabu a kisun bang bang in nit jing jengin, chutileh natohna jouse leh na chena jouse’a na lolhin ding ahi.
4 so that YHWH establishes His word which He spoke to me, saying, If your sons observe their way to walk before Me in truth, with all their heart, and with all their soul; saying, A man of yours is never cut off from the throne of Israel.
Hitia chu na bol leh Pakaiyin kei komma a kitepna jouse chu atohdoh thei ding ahi. Aman ka kom’a ei seipeh chu, nason nachilhah ten a lungthim pumpiu leh kitahna neitah a eijui uva ahi leh keiman Israel laltouna a khat ka tousah jing ding ahi,” eina tipeh in ahi.
5 And also, you have known that which he did to me—Joab son of Zeruiah—that which he did to two heads of the hosts of Israel, to Abner son of Ner, and to Amasa son of Jether—that he slays them, and makes the blood of war in peace, and puts the blood of war in his girdle, that [is] on his loins, and in his sandals that [are] on his feet;
“Chuleh thildang khat jong aum’e, Zeruiah chapa Joab in ipi ana bol am tichu na hen ahi, aman gal lamkai ni, Ner chapa Abner leh Jether chapa Amasa chu ana that in ahi. Aman gal kisat laiya kithat dana agel vang'in hichu chamna um petna abol joh ahibouve, a konggah leh a kengkoh chu thisan ana matsah in ahi.
6 and you have done according to your wisdom, and do not let his old age go down in peace to Sheol. (Sheol )
Hijeh chun ama chung’a hin, phante nati dan dan in hin bolpeh tan, amavang hin lhumsah hih inlang lungmong in alhan mun jotsah hih-in. (Sheol )
7 And you do kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and they have been among those eating at your table, for so they drew near to me in my fleeing from the face of your brother Absalom.
Gileadna um Barzillai chate chung ah khotona hin musah in, anao chu na ankong ah pan lahsah jengin ajeh chu na sopipa Absalom a kona ka jam lai nikho chun aman eina khohsah lheh-in ahi.
8 And behold, Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite of Bahurim, [is] with you, and he reviled me—a grievous reviling—in the day of my going to Mahanaim; and he has come down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swear to him by YHWH, saying, I do not put you to death by the sword;
Chuleh Bahurim a kona Benjamin phungmi Gera chapa Shimei chu geldoh in. Mahamaim lam’a ka jam laijin ama hin nasatah in eina gaosap ahi. Jordan vadunga ei lamto’a ahung chun, keiman Pakaija kihahsel na kana neijin na that ponge kana tin ahi.
9 and now, do not acquit him, for you [are] a wise man, and you have known that which you do to him, and have brought down his old age with blood to Sheol.” (Sheol )
Ahinlah hiche ka kihahselna chun ama them achansah dehpon ahi. Nangma miching nahin chule iloding le thisan naisan pumma lhanmun ajot ding alampi hin got them tan,” ati. (Sheol )
10 And David lies down with his fathers, and is buried in the City of David,
David chu athitan David khopia chun apu apa tetoh a kivui khom tauvin ahi.
11 and the days that David has reigned over Israel [are] forty years; he has reigned seven years in Hebron, and he has reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
David chun kum somli vai ana hom in, Hebron ah kum sagi chuleh Jerusalem ah kum somthum le thum vai ana hom in ahi.
12 And Solomon has sat on the throne of his father David, and his kingdom is established greatly,
Solomon chun Lengmun ahin lotan apa David laltouna achun ahung tou tan ahi, chuleh a Lenggam chu hoitah in akisuhdet tan ahi.
13 and Adonijah son of Haggith comes to Bathsheba, mother of Solomon, and she says, “Is your coming peace?” And he says, “Peace.”
Nikhat hi Haggith kitinu chapa Adonijah chu Solomon nu Bethsheba kimupi din ahung in ahi, Bethsheba in, “Chamna lungpu’a na hung hinam?” atileh, amapan jong “Ahinai, chamna dia ka hung ahi,” ati.
14 And he says, “I have a word for you,” and she says, “Speak.”
“Tubeh hin keiman na kom ah thum nom khat ka neije” ati. Bethsheba’n jong adonbut in “Ipi ham seijin?” ati.
15 And he says, “You have known that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had set their faces toward me for reigning, and the kingdom is turned around, and is my brother’s, for it was his from YHWH;
Adonijah in a donbut in, “Nang in na het bang in hiche Lenggam hi keija ding dol ahi, Israel mipite hin lengmun lo dinga kei ei deiju ahi. Ahin lah thil ahung kilehei jin hiche lenggam hi ka sopipa ahung chang tai, ajeh chu hiche hi Pakai thilgon ahi.
16 and now, I am asking one petition of you—do not turn back my face”; and she says to him, “Speak.”
Hijeh chun tun keiman na kom’a thilkhat bou ka thum nom’e, lungset tah in nei it peh hihbeh in” ati. “Ipiham seijin?” tin Bethsheba in anadongin ahi.
17 And he says, “Please speak to Solomon the king, for he does not turn back your face, and he gives Abishag the Shunammite to me for a wife.”
Aman a donbut in, “Solomon Lengpa kom ah kei thalheng in thu neihin seipeh in ajeh chu aman na thumthum chu na peh jeng ding ahi. Shunem nungahnu Abishag khu ka ji dingin nei thumpeh in” ati.
18 And Bathsheba says, “Good; I speak to the king for you.”
Bethsheba in asei jin “Henge nange ma khellin lengpa hengah nahin thumpeh nang’e,” ati.
19 And Bathsheba comes to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah, and the king rises to meet her, and bows himself to her, and sits on his throne, and places a throne for the mother of the king, and she sits at his right hand.
Hiti chun Bethsheba chu Leng Solomon kom ah Adonijah thil thumchu galhut peh dingin achetan ahi. Lengpa chu anu toh kimuto dingin ahung ding doh tan; anu kom achu agah kun in jana apen ahi. Ama atouna a atoukit chun anu touna ding chu ahin gonpeh diuvin thu apen ajet lang’a chun a tousah tan ahi.
20 And she says, “I ask one small petition of you, do not turn back my face”; and the king says to her, “Ask, my mother, for I do not turn back your face.”
Bethsheba in Solomon jah a, “Thumnom thilneo khat ka neijin nei it peh lou ding ka kinem’e” ati. Hichun Solomon in, “Ipiham Henu seijin ka-itpeh lou ding na het Chula-em,” ati.
21 And she says, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to your brother Adonijah for a wife.”
“Achutile nasopipa Adonijah dingin Shunem nungah nu khu pe tan,” ati.
22 And King Solomon answers and says to his mother, “And why are you asking [for] Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Also ask [for] the kingdom for him—for he [is] my elder brother—even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab son of Zeruiah.”
“Adonijah ding’a iti dana Abishag chu na thum jeng thei ham? Hiche sang a chu, lenggam jeng jong hi nathum jeng leh iti ham? Ama khu ka’u ahi jong nahe in, chuleh Thempu pa Abiather leh Zeruiah chapa Joab jong ama langa pang ahi na hei,” ati.
23 And King Solomon swears by YHWH, saying, “Thus God does to me, and thus He adds—surely Adonijah has spoken this word against his [own] soul;
Chuin Solomon Lengpa chu Pakai min in aki hahsel in “Adonijah in hiche athil thum hi athipi louleh Pathen in kei chung ah akhut lam hen lang ei that jeng hen” ati.
24 and now, YHWH lives, who has established me, and causes me to sit on the throne of my father David, and who has made a house for me as He spoke—surely Adonijah is put to death today.”
Pakaiyin kapa David Laltouna a ei tousah a ei suhdet peh a, akitepna bang’a ei inchen sah a, hiche Pakai chu hing jing jeng ahibang in, tuni nikho tah a hi Adonijah thitei tei ding ahi,” atin ahi.
25 And King Solomon sends by the hand of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he falls on him, and he dies.
Hiti chun Solomon Lengpan Jehoiada chapa Beniah chu athat din thu apen ahile aman jong Adonijah chu that tai.
26 And the king said to Abiathar the priest, “Go to Anathoth, to your fields; for you [are] a man of death, but I do not put you to death in this day, because you have carried the Ark of Lord YHWH before my father David, and because you were afflicted in all that my father was afflicted in.”
Hijouchun Lengpan Abiather Thempu komma chun, “Anathoth mun’a na in ah ki nungle tan, nang hi athi ding’a lom tah chu na hitai, ahinla tutu hin nathat jeng pong’e, ajeh chu nang in kapa David dingin Pakai Pathen thingkong chu naput peh in chuleh ahahsat na jouse nana thoh khompi in ahi,” ati.
27 And Solomon casts out Abiathar from being priest of YHWH, to fulfill the word of YHWH which He spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
Hiti chun Solomon in Abiather chu Pakai Thempu panmun a konin a haisah in, hiti chun Pakai jin Shiloh a Eli chilhahte chung chang Pakai thu phondoh chu a lolhin sah in ahi.
28 And the report has come to Joab—for Joab has turned aside after Adonijah, though he did not turn aside after Absalom—and Joab flees to the tent of YHWH, and lays hold on the horns of the altar.
Joab hin Absalom doubolna a chu ana pan louvang in Adonijah doubolna joh chu ana pan pin ahi. Hitia hi Adonijah thi thuhi ajah phat in Pakai ponbuh munthenga maicham saki teni chu aga tuhtan tan ahi.
29 And it is declared to King Solomon that Joab has fled to the tent of YHWH, and behold, [is] near the altar; and Solomon sends Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, fall on him.”
Hichehi Solomon Lengpa kom a ahetsah phat un aman Jehoiada chapa Beniah chu athat din asol tan ahi.
30 And Benaiah comes into the tent of YHWH and says to him, “Thus said the king: Come out”; and he says, “No, but I die here.” And Benaiah brings back word [to] the king, saying, “Thus spoke Joab, indeed, thus he answered me.”
Beniah chu Pakai ponbuh munthenga chun a chen Joab kom a chun “Hiche munna kon chun hungdoh in Leng thupeh ahi” atin ahileh Joab in “Hungdoh pong’e hikom ah thiden tang’e” ati. Hichun Beniah chu ahung kilen Joab thusei chu Lengpa kom ah asei peh tan ahileh,
31 And the king says to him, “Do as he has spoken, and fall on him, and you have buried him, and turned aside the causeless blood which Joab shed from off me, and from off the house of my father;
“Ama seibang chun boltan” ati. Lengpan “Maicham munna chun hin thatdoh inlang hin vuitan,” ati. “Hichun Joab in ajeh beija thisan asona ho chu kei leh kapa insung ah thepmo na hin sutheng tan te,” ati.
32 and YHWH has turned back his blood on his own head, [on him] who has fallen on two men more righteous and better than he, and slays them with the sword—and my father David did not know—Abner son of Ner, head of the host of Israel, and Amasa son of Jether, head of the host of Judah;
“Ama sanga phajo le chonpha jo chuleh kitah jo mini athana phu chu Pakaiyin lethuh nante, ajeh chu aman Israel sepaite lamkai Ner chapa Abner leh Judahh sepaite lamkai Jether chapa amasa atha chu kapa’n ana hetphah lou ahi.
33 indeed, their blood has turned back on the head of Joab, and on the head of his seed for all time; and for David, and for his seed, and for his house, and for his throne, there is peace for all time, from YHWH.”
Athisan phu chu Joab leh ason apah ho chung ah a tonsot'in chu jeng hen lang amavang David leh a chilhah chung leh alal touna chung ah atonsot nin Pakaiyin chamna pejing tahen,” ati.
34 And Benaiah son of Jehoiada goes up and falls on him, and puts him to death, and he is buried in his own house in the wilderness,
Hichun Jehoiada chapa Beniah chu achekit in ponbuh theng maicham munna chun Joab chu athat in, chule gam mang lam a ain muna chun ahin vuitan ahi.
35 and the king puts Benaiah son of Jehoiada over the host in his stead, and the king has put Zadok the priest in the stead of Abiathar.
Hijou chun Lengpan Beniah chu Joab khel in sepai lamkai jin apansah tan, chuleh Abiather khel in Zadok chu thempu in a pansah tan ahi.
36 And the king sends and calls for Shimei, and says to him, “Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem, and you have dwelt there, and do not go out [from] there anywhere;
Chuin Lengpan Shimei chu aga kousah in a seipeh tan ahi, “Jerusalem ahin in kisah inlang cheng tan. Ahinla hiche khopia kona hin mun chom’a potdoh hihin,
37 and it has been, in the day of your going out, and you have passed over the Brook of Kidron, you certainly know that you surely die—your blood is on your head.”
Nang in Kidron phaicham nahin khokhel poupou le hiche nikho nile nathi teitei ding ahi, chule hiche nathisan phu chu nangme le nangman nakipoh ding ahi,” ati.
38 And Shimei says to the king, “The word [is] good; as my lord the king has spoken so your servant does”; and Shimei dwells in Jerusalem many days.
Shimei in, “Na thutan chu adih e ken jong kapu Lengpan nasei dungjuija ka chon ding ahi tai,” ati. Hiti chun Shimei chu Jerusalem ah phat sottah achengin ahi.
39 And it comes to pass, at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei flee to Achish son of Maachah, king of Gath, and they declare to Shimei, saying, “Behold, your servants [are] in Gath”;
Ahin kum thum jouvin asoh teni ajamdoh lhon in Gath khoa Maacah chapa Achisah kom ah ajam lut lhon tan ahi, Shimei in aum na lhon ahet doh phat in,
40 and Shimei rises, and saddles his donkey, and goes to Gath, to Achish, to seek his servants, and Shimei goes and brings his servants from Gath.
Sangan chung ah atoudoh in asoh teni hol in Gath ah achen aga hol doh in amu phat in Jerusalem ah ahin puilut kit tai.
41 And it is declared to Solomon that Shimei has gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and returns,
Solomon chun Shimei in Jerusalem a dalhan apotdoh in Gath aga pha in ahung kile kit tai tin aja tan ahi.
42 and the king sends and calls for Shimei, and says to him, “Have I not caused you to swear by YHWH—and I testify against you, saying, In the day of your going out, and you have gone anywhere, you certainly know that you surely die; and you say to me, The word I have heard [is] good?
Hijeh chun Lengpan Shimei chu aga kousah in, “Keiman nangma hi na potdoh louhel ding na potdoh poupouleh na thitei tei ding ahi tia Pakai minna ka kitep sah nahi lou ham? Hiche a chun nang in jong na thutan chu adih’e, na sei dungjuija ka chon ding ahi nati hilou ham?
43 And why have you not kept the oath of YHWH, and the charge that I charged on you?”
Ahileh tua hi nang in ibol’a nang in ka thupeh nit ding’a Pakai minna na kitepna na nit lou ham?” atitan ahi.
44 And the king says to Shimei, “You have known all the evil that your heart has known, which you did to my father David, and YHWH has turned back your evil on your head,
Lengpan Shemei kom ah asei be’n, “Nang in kapa David chung’a thil gilou tah nana bol chu na geldoh em? Pakaiyin na thilse bol chu na luchung’a chuh sah tahen!
45 and King Solomon [is] blessed, and the throne of David is established before YHWH for all time.”
Ahinlah keima Leng Solomon in Pakai phattheiboh chu mu jing ingting chuleh David son khat Pakai anga Lal touna a hin tou jeng hen” ati.
46 And the king charges Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he goes out and falls on him, and he dies, and the kingdom is established in the hand of Solomon.
Hichun lengpan athu apeh dung jui jin Jehoiada chapa Beniah in Shimei chu polang’a a puidoh in athat tai. Hiti hin Lenggam chu Solomon khut noi ah a detchet tan ahi.
