< 2 Samuel 2 >
1 And it comes to pass afterward, that David inquires of YHWH, saying, “Do I go up into one of the cities of Judah?” And YHWH says to him, “Go up.” And David says, “To where do I go up?” And He says, “To Hebron.”
Hiche jouchun David in Pakai chu adongin, “Judah ho khopi khat pen pen akhu kalechi ding ham?” atin ahileh, Pakaiyin ahindonbut in, “henge kinunglen” ati. Hiche jouchun David in adong pei in, “hoichi pen khopi a kachi ding ham?” atin ahileh, Pakaiyin a donbut in Hebron khopi ah ati.
2 And David goes up there, and also his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelite;
David jiteni chu Ahinoam kiti Jezreel mi le Carmel kho a Nabal kiti meithaipa jinu Abigail ahilhon ne. hitichun David le ajiteu
3 and David has brought up his men who [are] with him—a man and his household—and they dwell in the cities of Hebron.
Chuleh ama mite ho jouse leh a insung mite jouse chutoh Judah gam lamah akitol uvin, Hebron khopi kom ah chun acheng taovin ahi.
4 And the men of Judah come, and anoint David there for king over the house of Judah; and they declare to David, saying, “The men of Jabesh-Gilead [are] they who buried Saul.”
Hichejou chun Judah gamma mikhat David komma ahungin, amapa chun David chu Judah mite jouse chunga leng din thao ahungnui. Hiti chun Saul vuija pang ho chu Jabesh – gilead mite ahiuve ti David in ajah doh phat chun,
5 And David sends messengers to the men of Jabesh-Gilead and says to them, “Blessed [are] you of YHWH, in that you have done this kindness with your lord, with Saul, that you bury him.
Aman hiche thuthot hi aneitao vin ahi: “nangho Pakaiyin phatthei naboh uhen ajeh chu nanghon na pakai pao Saul chungah naki tahnao navetsah un chule phatah in nanavui jun ahi.
6 And now YHWH does kindness and truth with you, and I also do this good with you because you have done this thing;
Hijeh chun Pakaiyin ami ngailutna longlou chun naumpiu henlang chule kitahna neitah in nabol uhen! Chuguh hilouvin keima jeng in jong nathilpha bol nachung uva kipaman kapeh ding nahiuve, ati.
7 and now your hands are strong, and be for sons of valor, for your lord Saul [is] dead, and the house of Judah has also anointed me for king over them.”
Tun Saul athitan, hijeh chun keima leng thah din Judah mite thao einu taovin ahi, hijeh a chu keiman katep nahiuve Judah mite bangin keima din hangsan tah le kitah tah in pang uvin.”
8 And Abner, son of Ner, head of the host which Saul has, has taken Ish-Bosheth, son of Saul, and causes him to pass over to Mahanaim,
Ahin Ner chapa Abner, Saul’s sepai jalamkaipa chu Saul’s chapa Ishbosheth chutoh Mahanaim lam ah achilhon tan ahi.
9 and causes him to reign over Gilead, and over the Ashurite, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over Israel—all of it.
Hiah chun Ishbosheth chu Gilead, Jezreel, Ephraim, Benjamin, Ashurites gamsung leh Israel pumpi jouse chunga Leng din akiphong doh tan ahi.
10 Ish-Bosheth son of Saul [is] a son of forty years in his reigning over Israel, and he has reigned [for] two years; only the house of Judah has been after David.
Saul’s chapa Ishbosheth chu kum somli alhing tan ahi Israel te chunga leng ahi chun, chule Mahanaim akon lengvai kumni ahinpo pan in ahi. alangkhat nin Judah mite vang chu David a din kitah tah in aum jing jeng un ahi.
11 And the number of the days that David has been king in Hebron, over the house of Judah, is seven years and six months.
David in Hebron chu munpi in asem in, chule Judah mite chungah kum sagi le lhagup sung lengvai anapon ahi.
12 And Abner son of Ner goes out, and servants of Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
Nikhat Abner in Ishbosheth’s sepai hochu Mahanaim akon Gibeon lam apui in ahi.
13 And Joab son of Zeruiah, and servants of David, have gone out, and they meet by the pool of Gibeon together, and sit down, these by the pool on this [side], and these by the pool on that [side].
Hiche phat chat chun, Zeruiah chapa Joab in David’s sepai hochun apuidoh in Gibeon twikul ah agakimupiu vin ahi. chule hiche mun ah chun alang lang in atou un akigar vettou vin ahi.
14 And Abner says to Joab, “Now let the youths rise and they play before us”; and Joab says, “Let them rise.”
Chuin Abner in Joab ja ah aseiyin, “Isepai teu themkhat emasang lhon ah kidelsah hite.” Atin ahileh, “Joab jong anom tan ahi.”
15 And they rise and pass over, in number twelve of Benjamin, even of Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
Hichun alang toa mi somleni cheh kideldin alheng doh taovin ahi – Saul chapa Ishbosheth langa din Benjamin mi somleni, chule David langa din mi somleni ma alhengdoh un ahi.
16 And they each lay hold on the head of his companion, and his sword [is] in the side of his companion, and they fall together, and [one] calls that place Helkath-Hazzurim, which [is] in Gibeon,
Mikhat cheh in akitopi hou sam atuh un chule achemjam un khat cheh pongpeh akisutpih to un ahileh abonchaovin athi taovin ahi. hijeh chun Gibeon mun hi eitih in chemjam a kidot namun tin akihe jing tan ahi.
17 and the battle is very hard on that day, and Abner is struck, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
Hiche jouchun anikho maman nasatah in akisatou vin chule David sepai techun Abner le Israel mite chu gal in anajou uvin ahi.
18 And there are three sons of Zeruiah there: Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel; and Asahel [is] light on his feet, as one of the roes which [are] in the field,
Chule hiche nikho chun David sepai te la ah Zeruiah chapate thum Joab, Abishai, chule Asahel apang uvin ahi. chule Asahel hi gam sakhinou banga jang tah a lhei thei mi ahi.
19 and Asahel pursues after Abner, and has not turned aside to go to the right or to the left, from after Abner.
Chuin Asahel in Abner nung chu jungjelin mundang ema velou vin chule thil emacha jeh a kingapa lou vin adel tan ahi.
20 And Abner looks behind him and says, “Are you he—Asahel?” And he says, “I [am].”
Hichun Abner akinunghei in ahileh amapa ahung chu amutan ahi, chuin aman akou in, “nangma Asahel nahiham?” ati. Chuin aman adonbut in, “henge keima kahi” ati.
21 And Abner says to him, “Turn aside to your right hand or to your left, and seize one of the youths for yourself, and take his armor for yourself”; and Asahel has not been willing to turn aside from after him.
Chuin Abner in agih in, “chin lang michomkhat gaman in! chule chapang khangdong jep khat chu man inlang amanchah lahpih in” ati. hinlah Asahel chun Abner lamchu jangkei in mundanga kiheidoh lou vin ajuipeh in ahi.
22 And Abner adds again, saying to Asahel, “Turn aside from after me, why do I strike you to the earth? And how do I lift up my face to your brother Joab?”
Abner chun Asahel chu ahinsam kit in, hichemun akon kihei mangin! Keiman nangma kathanom poi. Akhuti leh iti nasopipa Joab mai kamukit ding ham? Ati.
23 And he refuses to turn aside, and Abner strikes him with the back part of the spear to the fifth [rib], and the spear comes out from behind him, and he falls there, and dies under it; and it comes to pass, everyone who has come to the place where Asahel has fallen and dies—they stand still.
Ahin Asahel chu ama akon kiheimang ding anom dehpon, hijeh chun Abner in Asahel oipoh laitah atengcha bulgeijin asun lhum in ahileh atengcha chu anung langah apeidoh liu in hichun amun maman alhun athidan tan ahi. chule koi hileh hilaimun hinpha a Asahel thi muchan chu akinga un adingdan taovin ahi.
24 And Joab and Abishai pursue after Abner, and the sun has gone in, and they have come to the height of Ammah, which [is] on the front of Giah, the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
Chuin Joab le Abishai in itabong thilsoh ham ti ahetdoh lhon phat in, Abner nung adel pei lhon tan, ahin Gibeon gamthip jotna lampi, Giah kom Ammah molsang agei lhonin nisan alhum den lhon tan ahi.
25 And the sons of Benjamin gather themselves together after Abner, and become one troop, and stand on the top of a certain height,
Benjamin phungmi Abner sepai ho chu akithah gopkhom kit un molsang chungah chun apang taovin ahi.
26 and Abner calls to Joab and says, “Does the sword consume forever? Have you not known that it is bitterness in the latter end? And until when do you not say to the people to turn back from after their brothers?”
Chuin Abner in Joab chu ahinsam in, eitih chan a khat le khat ekitha to jing diu hitam? achaina lungjin najeng ahihi nageldoh loulai uham? Etih tah leh namiteu chu nasopi Israel te nung ahindel naova kon nakham gah dingu hitam? ati.
27 And Joab says, “God lives! For unless you had spoken, surely then from the morning each of the people had gone up from after his brother.”
Chuin Joab in ahinsei in, “Pathen bouvin ahei epiti ding ham nangman ima nahinsei lou hileh, ajeh chu keima hon jankhovah hella kahin del thei u nahi.”
28 And Joab blows with a horn, and all the people stand still, and no longer pursue after Israel, nor have they added to fight anymore.
Hichun Joab in saki chu amutging in ahileh amite jouse chu adingdan un Israel sepai techu adel tapou vin ahi.
29 And Abner and his men have gone through the plain all that night, and pass over the Jordan, and go on [through] all Bithron, and come to Mahanaim.
Chuchi jan chun Abner le amite chun Jordan phaicham chu ajot peh un, Jordan vadung chu agalkai un chule jingkah geijin achijomjing un Mahanaim alhun kahseu vin kinga lou vin anachijom jing un ahi.
30 And Joab has turned back from after Abner, and gathers all the people, and there are lacking of the servants of David nineteen men, and Asahel;
Hitabang tah chun, Joab le amite jong inlam akile taovin ahi. chule Joab in amite athiho chu ahin simtan ahileh mi somleko le Asahel alhahsam chu ahinmudoh tan ahi.
31 and the servants of David have struck of Benjamin, even among the men of Abner, three hundred and sixty men—they died.
Ahinlah Abner’s mi kithat jat chu jathum le somgup ahi, chule amaho chu abon va Benjamin phunga kon ngen ahiuve.
32 And they lift up Asahel, and bury him in the burying-place of his father, which [is] in Beth-Lehem, and they go all the night—Joab and his men—and [dawn’s light] shines on them in Hebron.
Chuin Joab le amite chun Asahel’s longchu Bethlehem lammah apuvin apa lhankhuh ma achun avuitao vin ahi. chujou vin amaho jankhovah keiyin akitolun jingkho ahungvah in Hebron alhung taovin ahi.
