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.”
Benjamin miphun Bikhri capa a min teh Sheba tie taran ka thaw e buet touh ao. Ahni ni mongka a ueng teh Oe Isarel miphun maimouh teh Devit koevah, buet touh hai coe hane tawn awh hoeh. Jesi capa koevah râw coe hane kamcu awh hoeh. Isarelnaw namamae rim koe lengkaleng cet awh telah atipouh.
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.
Isarelnaw ni Devit hnukkâbang awh hoeh toe. Bikhri capa Sheba hnuk a kâbang awh. Judahnaw ni Jordan hoi Jerusalem kho totouh siangpahrang koe a kâhnai awh.
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.
Devit ni Jerusalem ama im a pha toteh, siangpahrang ni a yudo 10 touh im ka ring hanelah a hruek e hah a ceikhai teh, a paung. A canei kapoenaw ni canei kawi a poe awh ei teh, amamouh koe kâen awh hoeh. A due hnin totouh a paung awh teh lahmainaw patetlah ao awh.
4 And the king says to Amasa, “Call the men of Judah for me [within] three days, and you, stand here,”
Siangpahrang ni Amasa koevah, hnin thum touh thung Judahnaw hah kamkhueng sak nateh, ahnimouh hoi rei na tho han telah atipouh.
5 and Amasa goes to call Judah, and tarries beyond the appointed time that he had appointed him;
Judahnaw kamkhueng sak hanelah Amasa teh a cei. Hatei, Devit teh a hnin a khoe e hlak hnuk a teng.
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.”
Devit ni Abishai koevah Bikhri capa Sheba ni Absalom hlak hai runae na poe han, na bawipa e sannaw kaw nateh ahnimanaw pâlei awh telah hoehpawiteh, ahni teh kacakpounge kho buetbuet touh kâen vaiteh, maimae kut dawk hoi a hlout han doeh telah Abishai koe a dei pouh.
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;
Joab e taminaw Kereth tami, Phelet taminaw hoi tami a thakasainaw ni a hnukkâbang awh. Jerusalem hoi Bikhri capa Sheba pâlei hanelah a kamthaw awh.
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.
Gideon kho dawk e lungsong onae koe a pha awh toteh, Amasa ni ahnimanaw a dawn. Joab ni puengcang a kâmahrawk teh a keng dawk taisawm hoi tahloi a neng. A cei nalaihoi tahloi a yut teh a bo.
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;
Joab ni Amasa koevah, ka nawngha na dam ou telah ati. Joab ni a kâsak teh a paco han a dei teh a pâkhamuen a rang lae kut hoi a kuet.
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.
Joab ni avoilae kut dawk sarai a sin e hah Amasa ni a pouk hoeh dawkvah, a von dawk a thut pouh teh a ruen hah talai dawk a bo. Bout thun hoeh toe. Amasa teh a due. Joab hoi a nawngha Abishai ni Bikhri capa Sheba hah a pâlei roi.
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!”
Ahni e a teng Joab e tami buet touh a kangdue teh, Joab hoi Devit koelah ka kampang e pueng ni Joab heh pou ring naseh telah a ti.
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.
Amasa teh lam dawkvah a thi hoi pukkâkaawk. Ka tho pueng ni a hmu awh teh a kangdue awh. Joab e tami ni taminaw a kangdue e a hmu awh toteh, Amasa e a ro hah lam dawk hoi a la awh teh, kahrawng vah a puen awh teh hni hoi a ramuk awh.
13 When he has been removed out of the highway, every man has passed on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba son of Bichri.
Haw e lam dawk hoi a puen awh hnukkhu, Bikhri capa Sheba pâlei hanelah taminaw ni, Joab e hnuk a kâbang awh.
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,
Joab ni Bethmaakha ram Abel kho totouh Isarel ram pueng koe a cei. Bere taminaw koehai a cei teh taminaw a pâkhueng teh, Sheba hnuk a kâbang awh.
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.
Sheba a luennae Bethmaakha ram Abel kho hah a kalup awh. A kho teng vah talai avoivang lah a paten awh. Rapan raphoe hanelah thouk a phom awh.
16 And a wise woman calls out of the city, “Hear! Hear! Please say to Joab, Come near here, and I speak to you.”
Hatnavah, a lungkaang e napui buet touh ni khothung hoi a hram teh a dei e teh, thai awh haw, thai awh. Kai ni Joab hoi lawk ka dei thai nahanelah tho loe telah Joab koe dei pouh awh telah a ti.
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.”
Joab rek a hnai teh napui ni nang hah Joab vai khe, telah a pacei. Oe kai doeh atipouh. Napui ni kaie lawk thai haw atipouh navah, Joab ni ka thai doeh telah atipouh.
18 And she speaks, saying, “They spoke often in former times, saying, Let them diligently inquire at Abel, and so they finished.
Ayan teh Abel kho vah kho a khang awh han rah, ouk ati awh. Hottelah laidei pou a tâtueng awh.
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?”
Kai teh Isarelnaw dawk roumnae ka ngai e hoi yuemkamcu e lah ka o. Nang teh Isarel kho koung raphoe hanelah na kâcai. Bangkongmaw BAWIPA e râw hah he pahma hanelah na kâcai telah a dei.
20 And Joab answers and says, “Far be it—far be it from me; I do not swallow up nor destroy.
Joab ni he pâhma hane, raphoe hane kâcainae awm hoeh bo.
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.”
Hottelah nahoeh bo, Ephraim mon dawk e Bikhri capa a min teh Sheba ni amae siangpahrang hah a taran toe. Ahni hah na poe awh haw. Na poe awh pawiteh kho dawk hoi ka tâco han telah ati. Napui ni Joab koevah, khenhaw! a lû teh rapan hloilah ka tâkhawng han telah a ti.
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.
Hote napui teh a lungang e patetlah taminaw koe a cei hnukkhu, Bikhri capa Sheba lû a tâtueng awh teh Joab koelah alawilah a tâkhawng pouh awh. Joab ni mongka a ueng teh taminaw teh hote kho dawk hoi amamouh onae koe bout a ban awh. Hahoi, Joab teh Jerusalem siangpahrang koe a ban.
23 And Joab [is] over all the host of Israel, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is] over the Cherethite, and over the Pelethite,
Joab teh Isarel ransanaw e ransabawi lah ao. Jehoiada capa Benaiah teh Kereth tami hoi Pelet taminaw kaukkung lah ao.
24 and Adoram [is] over the tribute, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] the remembrancer,
Adoram teh tamuk thaw ka kuen e lah ao. Ahilud capa Jehoshaphat teh kamthang kathutkung lah ao.
25 and Sheva [is] scribe, and Zadok and Abiathar [are] priests,
Sheva teh ca kathunkung lah ao. Zadok hoi Abiathar teh vaihma lah ao.
26 and also, Ira the Jairite has been minister to David.
Jair tami teh Devit e ram kaukkung bawi lah ao.
