< 2 Samuel 20 >
1 And there happened to be a man of worthlessness there, and his name [is] Sheba, son of Bichri, a Benjamite, and he blows with a horn and says, “We have no portion in David, and we have no inheritance in the son of Jesse; each [goes] to his tents, O Israel.”
Hiche phatlai hin pan nabei mikhat ana um'in amapa chu amin Sheba akiti, ama hi apa min Bicri ahin, Benjamin phunga mi ahiye; Chule Sheba kitipa hin saki pengkul amut gingin lhang asamin aseitai, “David koma eihon chan ding inei pouvin, Jesse chapa koma goulo ding inei pouve’ Vo Israel mite, nangma nangma ponbuh kijot cheh tauvin,” ati.
2 And every man of Israel goes up from after David, after Sheba son of Bichri, and the men of Judah have cleaved to their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem.
Hichejeh chun Israel miten abonchauvin David adalha soh hel tauvin, Bicri chapa Sheba nung ajui cheh tauve; ahivangin Judah miten alengpao chu lunglut tah in Jordan vadunga pat Jerusalem geiyin ajui lut peh tauvin ahi.
3 And David comes to his house at Jerusalem. And the king takes the ten women-concubines whom he had left to keep the house, and puts them in a house of ward and sustains them, and he has not gone in to them, and they are shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.
David chu Jerusalema ahung in ain ahung lhungtai, chuin lengpan in ngah dinga adalhah thaikem numei som ho chu abonchan aman khom soh keiyin in khat a akoikhom in, chule hiche in chu mi angah ding sepai akoiyin, neh le chah vang apenan, amaho hi avil tapon, aluppi tapoi. Hijeh chun amaho hi athi ni geiyuvin cha hing louvin aumsohkeiyun, meithai bangin aumsoh keitauve.
4 And the king says to Amasa, “Call the men of Judah for me [within] three days, and you, stand here,”
Hichun lengpan Amasa koma aseipeh in, “Nithum sungin Judah phunga mite abonchan kou khom soh keiyin lang, nangma tah jeng jong hikoma hin hung kikhomuvin,” ati.
5 and Amasa goes to call Judah, and tarries beyond the appointed time that he had appointed him;
Hijeh chun Amasa jong Judah mite kou dingin akondoh tai; Ahinla ama dinga aphat kitep peh sangnga tamjo ahin la tan ahi.
6 and David says to Abishai, “Now Sheba son of Bichri does evil to us more than Absalom; you, take the servants of your lord, and pursue after him, lest he has found fortified cities for himself, and delivered himself [from] our eye.”
Chuphat’in David chun Abishai koma chun aseiyin, “Tua hi Sheba kitipa Bicri chapa khun Absalomin eibol nau sanga khohjoa eibol diu ahi; nangman napu lhacha sepaite khu kipuiyin lang anung delpeh in lang, gamantan achuti louva ahileh ama in kulpi kikaikhum khopi phabep akisah doh a eiho eisuh genthei diu ahi,” ati.
7 And the men of Joab go out after him, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and all the mighty men, and they go out from Jerusalem to pursue after Sheba son of Bichri;
Abishai nung juiyin Joab jong Chereth mite jong, Peleth miho jong, chule mihat jouse jong abonchan akitol soh keiyuvin ahi. Chule amaho hi Jerusalem khopia konin Bicri chapa Sheba nung del dingin akondoh tauve.
8 they [are] near the great stone that [is] in Gibeon, and Amasa has gone before them, and Joab [is] girded; he has put his long robe on him, and on it a girdle—a sword [is] fastened on his loins in its sheath; and he has gone out, and it falls.
Amaho hi Gibeon khopia songpi lentah phung ahung geiyuvin Amasa jong amaho lamto dingin ahung tai. Hichun Joab hi sepai vonin akivonin, chule akongjanga chun konggah khat hin chemjam apaiyin akipoh in ahi; amasang lam’uva Amasa chibei bol din achepheiyin, hichun ahung kibalhun achemjam chu ahungkithol doh paitan ahi.
9 And Joab says to Amasa, “Are you [in] peace, my brother?” And the right hand of Joab lays hold on the beard of Amasa to give a kiss to him;
Hichun Joab hin Amasa koma hitin aseiye, “Sopi nadam dam hinam? tin adongin, hiti chun Joab hin Amasa chu akhut jetlam in amanin abengmul chun atuh chah jenge abeng achop ding bangin.
10 and Amasa has not been watchful of the sword that [is] in the hand of Joab, and he strikes him with it to the fifth [rib], and sheds out his bowels to the earth, and he has not repeated [it] to him, and he dies; and Joab and his brother Abishai have pursued after Sheba son of Bichri.
Hichea hi Amasa hin Joab in akhut veilam a chemjam akidop lam chu anahet lou ahiye; hiti hin Joab chun Amasa chua oipoh asutpih in; hichun avela sat kit louhel’in khatvei she she chun ama jong athidel jengin ahi. Chujouvin Joab le asopipa Abishai chun Bicri chapa Sheba nung chu adel pai pai tauve.
11 And a man has stood by him, of the young men of Joab, and says, “He who has delight in Joab, and he who [is] for David—after Joab!”
Chule Joab sepaite lah a mi khat chu Amasa long phunga aga dingin hitin aseiye, “Koi koi hijongle Joab panpia David dinga pang jouse chun Joab nung jui cheh hen,” ati.
12 And Amasa is rolling himself in blood, in the midst of the highway, and the man sees that all the people have stood still, and he brings around Amasa out of the highway to the field, and casts a garment over him when he has seen that everyone who has come by him has stood still.
Hichun Amasa vang chu lamlen kim laitah a athisan lah a akisai saiyin alumden tai. Lampia hung mi jouse chun amudoh tengule ading cheh jiuvin, hijeh chun alongkom a dingpa chun miho jouse agahdin ji jeh u chun Amasa long chu akaimangin gamlah a apolut in pon akhu khumtan ahi.
13 When he has been removed out of the highway, every man has passed on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba son of Bichri.
Chuin Amasa chu lamlen lailunga kona akai mang phat chun mipi sepai jouse jong chu Joab nung juiya Bicri chapa Sheba nung del dingin ache pai pai jeng tauve.
14 And he passes over through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, and to Beth-Maachah, and to all the Berites, and they are assembled, and also go in after him,
Sheba hin Israel mite phung tin anakhol soh keiyin, Bethema’acah gam'a Abel chan gei anajot man in ahi; hijeh chun Bicri mite jouse akikhom’uvin ama nung ajui soh hel tauve.
15 and they go in and lay siege against him, in Abel of Beth-Maachah, and cast up a mound against the city, and it stands in a trench, and all the people who are [are] with Joab are destroying, to cause the wall to fall.
Hichun Joab to pang khom mite chu abonchan ahunguvin Bethma’acah gam'a Abel khoa chun Sheba aga’um tauve. Khopi um nan pal akaiyuvin, chule khopi pal chutoh kingat ton leipal chu akikhang doh jenge; Chuin amahon khopi pal chu phetjal dingin agouvin avojal pantauve.
16 And a wise woman calls out of the city, “Hear! Hear! Please say to Joab, Come near here, and I speak to you.”
Hichun khopi sung langa konin numei miching tah khat hinmi ahinkouvin, “Ngaiyuvin, ngaiyuvin, keiman Joab chu kaki houpithei na dingin hinsei peh’uvin lang hilai muna hin hung hen, ati hintiuvin,” ahinti.
17 And he comes near to her, and the woman says, “Are you Joab?” And he says, “I [am].” And she says to him, “Hear the words of your handmaid”; and he says, “I am hearing.”
Hiphat chun Joab jong chu amanu koma chun ahungin ahileh, numeinu chun hitin aseipeh tai, “Nangma Jo’b nahim? atia ahileh aman jong adonbutin, “Ka hinai,” ati. Hichun numeinu jong chun Joab koma chun asei kit’in, “Nasohnu keima thusei ding hohi ngai temin,” atia ahileh; Joab in jong adonbut’in, “Kangai peh nai,” ati.
18 And she speaks, saying, “They spoke often in former times, saying, Let them diligently inquire at Abel, and so they finished.
Hichun numei nun jong aseitai, Masanga gol lui laiyin tehse hon hitin ana sei uve, Abel khoa mi bou kidong ding ahi,’ tin aseiyiuve; hiti hin ipi thu hijong leh ana seichai jiuve.
19 I [am] of the peaceable, faithful ones of Israel; you are seeking to destroy a city and mother in Israel; why do you swallow up the inheritance of YHWH?”
Hitia chu keima jong hi Israel mite lah a cham na bol ji le kitah taha hinkho mangmi khat chu kahi; hijeh chun tun nangman Israel chate din penna khopikhat hi thagamdingin nahol’e; ibola nangman Pakai goulo athilkeo hi hitia hi suh mang jeng ding nati ham?” ati.
20 And Joab answers and says, “Far be it—far be it from me; I do not swallow up nor destroy.
Hichun Joab jong chun adonbut’in, “Keiman itih hijong leh khopi kasuh mang louhel ding ahi ai!
21 The matter [is] not so; for a man of the hill-country of Ephraim—Sheba son of Bichri [is] his name—has lifted up his hand against the king, against David; give him up by himself, and I go away from the city.” And the woman says to Joab, “Behold, his head is cast to you over the wall.”
Nasei chu adih poi, ahin Ephraim gam'a thinglhang mi Bicri kitipa chapa khat amin Sheba kitipa chun David lengpa dou nan akhut alamtai; ama chu hinpe doh jenguvin, chutileh keima khopia kona hi kaki nungle jeng ding ahi,” ati. Chuphat’in numeinu jong chun adonbut paiyin, Joab koma chun aseitai, “Vetan, naseipa chu palvuma aluchang tansa hung kileh lha ding nakoma hung chu ding ahi,” atipeh-e.
22 And the woman comes to all the people in her wisdom, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bichri, and cast [it] to Joab, and he blows with a horn, and they are scattered from the city, each [goes] to his tents, and Joab has turned back to Jerusalem to the king.
Numeinu chu alungthima achihna bang dungjuiyin khopi sunga anung chen mipi jouse koma chun hitin aga seitai. Chuin mihon Bicri chapa Sheba chu alu atanuvin, Joab koma chun agasep lut tauve. Chuphat in Joab chun saki pengkul chu amut paiyin, khopia kon chun akikhen cheh soh keiyun, mi jouse chu ama ama in cheh a ache tauve. Joab vang chu Jerusalema lengpa koma dingin ahung kile kit tai.
23 And Joab [is] over all the host of Israel, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is] over the Cherethite, and over the Pelethite,
Hichun Joab kitipa hi Israel chate pumpi dinga gal lamkai lenpen chule sepai jouse chunga vaipo ahin, Jehoiada chapa Benaiah chu Chereth mite leh Peleth mite sepai ho lamkai vaipon apangin;
24 and Adoram [is] over the tribute, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] the remembrancer,
Chule Adoniram kitipa chu engbol a um soh natonga pangho chunga chun vaihom in apangin, Ahilud chapa Jehoshaphat kitipa chu thuching lekha koiyin apangin,
25 and Sheva [is] scribe, and Zadok and Abiathar [are] priests,
Sheva chu lekha sun in apangin, Zedok le Abiathar chu thempun apang lhonin,
26 and also, Ira the Jairite has been minister to David.
Chule Jair mi Ira vang chu David din thempun anapang tan ahi.
