2 Samuel 19
1 And it is declared to Joab, “Behold, the king is weeping and mourning for Absalom”;
Te vaengah Joab taengah tah, “Manghai tah rhap tih Absalom ham nguekcoi coeng ke,” tila a puen pah.
2 and the salvation on that day becomes mourning to all the people, for the people have heard on that day, saying, “The king has been 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 steals away, on that day, to go into the city, as the people steal away, who are ashamed, in their fleeing 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 and the king has covered his face, indeed, the king cries [with] a loud voice, “My son Absalom! 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 comes into the house to the king and says, “Today you have put to shame the faces of all your servants, those delivering your life today, and the life of your sons, and of your daughters, and the life of your wives, and the life of your 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 to love your enemies, and to hate those loving you, for today you have declared that you have no princes and servants, for today I have known that if Absalom [were] alive, and all of us dead today, that then it were right in your eyes.
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 And now, rise, go out and speak to the heart of your servants, for I have sworn by YHWH, that [if] you are not going out—there does not lodge a man with you tonight; and this [is] worse for you than all the evil that has come on you from your 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 And the king rises, and sits in the gate, and they have declared to all the people, saying, “Behold, the king is sitting in the gate”; and all the people come in before the king, and Israel has fled, each to his tents.
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 it comes to pass, all the people are contending through all the tribes of Israel, saying, “The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, indeed, he himself delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines, and now he has fled out of the land because of 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, and now, why are you silent—to bring back the king?”
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 to [the] elderly of Judah, saying, Why are you last to bring back the king to his house, since the word of all Israel has come to the king, 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 you [are] my brothers, you [are] my bone and my flesh, and why are you 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 to Amasa, Are you not my bone and my flesh? Thus God does to me, and thus He adds, if you are not head of the host before me instead of Joab [for] all the days.”
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 inclines the heart of all the men of Judah as one man, and they send to the king, “Return, you and all your 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 And the king turns back, and comes to the Jordan, and Judah has come to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring the king over the 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 son of Gera, the Benjamite, who [is] from Bahurim, hurries, and comes 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 one thousand men [are] with him from Benjamin, and Ziba servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him, and they have gone prosperously over the 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 the ferry-boat has passed over to carry over the household of the king, and to do that which [is] good in his eyes, and Shimei son of Gera has fallen before the king in his passing over into the 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 he says to the king, “Do not let my lord impute iniquity to me; neither remember that which your servant did perversely in the day that my lord the king went out from Jerusalem—for the king to set [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 your servant has known that I have sinned; and behold, I have come today, first 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 And Abishai son of Zeruiah answers and says, “Is Shimei not put to death for this—because he reviled the anointed of YHWH?”
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 says, “And what do I [have to do] with you, O sons of Zeruiah, that today you are for an adversary to me? Is any man put to death in Israel today? For have I not known that today I [am] 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 And the king says to Shimei, “You do not die”; and the king swears to him.
Te phoeiah manghai loh Shimei te, “Na duek mahpawh,” a ti nah tih anih te manghai loh a toemngam thil.
24 And Mephibosheth son of Saul has come down to meet the king—and he did not prepare his feet, nor did he prepare his upper lip, indeed, he did not wash his garments, even from the day of the going away of the king, until the day that he came 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 comes to pass, when he has come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king says to him, “Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?”
Te tlam te 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 says, “My lord, O king, my servant deceived me, for your servant said, I saddle the donkey for myself, and ride on it, and go with the king, for your 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 utters slander against your servant to my lord the king, and my lord the king [is] as a messenger of God; and do that which is good in your 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 the house of my father have been nothing except men of death before my lord the king, and you set your servant among those eating at your table, and what right do I have anymore—even to cry anymore to 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 says to him, “Why do you speak anymore of your matters? I have said, You and Ziba—share the field.”
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 says to the king, “Indeed, let him take the whole, after that my lord the king has come in peace to his 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 has gone down from Rogelim, and passes over the Jordan with the king, to send him away over the Jordan;
Giladi Barzillai khaw Rogelim lamkah suntla tih Jordan ngan, Jordan ngan ah thak hamla manghai te Jordan a kat puei.
32 and Barzillai [is] very aged, a son of eighty years, and he has sustained the king in his abiding in Mahanaim, for he [is] 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 says to Barzillai, “Pass over with me, and I have sustained you in Jerusalem with me.”
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 says to the king, “How many [are] the days of the years of my life, that I go up with the king to Jerusalem?
Barzillai loh manghai te, “Ka hingnah a kum khohnin meyet nim aka om tih Jerusalem manghai taengla ka caeh eh.
35 I [am] a son of eighty years today; do I know between good and evil? Does your servant taste that which I am eating, and that which I drink? Do I listen anymore to the voice of male and female singers? And why is your servant for a burden to my lord the king anymore?
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 As a little thing, your servant passes over the Jordan with the king, and why does the king repay me this repayment?
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 Please let your servant turn back again, and I die in my own city, near the burying-place of my father and of my mother—and behold, your servant Chimham, let him pass over with my lord the king, and do to him that which [is] good in your eyes.”
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 says, “Chimham goes over with me, and I do to him that which [is] good in your eyes, indeed, all that you fix on me I do to you.”
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 pass over the Jordan, and the king has passed over, and the king gives a kiss to Barzillai, and blesses him, and he turns back to his place.
Pilnam loh Jordan te 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 And the king passes over to Gilgal, and Chimham has passed over with him, and all the people of Judah, and they bring over the king, and also the half of 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 are coming to the king, and they say to the king, “Why have our brothers, the men of Judah, stolen you—and they bring the king and his household over the Jordan, and all the men of David with him?”
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 answer against the men of Israel, “Because the king [is] near to us, and why [is] this [that] you are displeased about this matter? Have we eaten of the king’s [substance] at all? Has he lifted up a gift to us?”
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 answer the men of Judah, and say, “We have ten parts in the king, and also more than you in David; and why have you lightly esteemed us, that our word has not been first to bring back our king?” And the word of the men of Judah is sharper than the word 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.
