2 Samuel 2
1 It happened after this, that David inquired of Jehovah, saying, "Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah?" Jehovah said to him, "Go up." David said, "Where shall I go up?" He said, "To Hebron."
Hotnaw hnukkhu hoi Devit ni BAWIPA hah a pacei. Judah ram kho buetbuet touh dawk ka cei han maw telah ati. BAWIPA ni cet loe atipouh. Devit ni nâ lah maw ka cei han atipouh. Hebron kho lah atipouh.
2 So David went up there, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite,
Devit e a yu roi Jezreel kho e Ahinoam hoi Karmel tami Nabal e a yu Abigail hoi a cei awh.
3 and the men who were with him, everyone with his household. And they lived in Hebron.
Ama koe kaawm e taminaw, imthungnaw hai Devit ni a kaw teh ahnimanaw teh, Hebron khonaw dawk kho a sak awh.
4 Then the men of Judah came, and they anointed David king over the house of Judah. When David was told that the men of Jabesh Gilead buried Saul,
Judah taminaw a tho awh teh, Devit hah siangpahrang hanelah satui a awi awh. Ahnimouh ni Devit koe, Sawl ka pakawm naw hah Jabesh Gilead taminaw doeh telah a dei pouh awh.
5 then he sent messengers to the lords of Jabesh Gilead, and said to them, "May you be blessed by Jehovah, since you showed loyalty towards your lord, Saul, and have buried him.
Hatdawkvah Jabesh Gilead taminaw koe Devit ni patounenaw a patoun teh, ahnimouh koevah nangmae bawipa Sawl dawk na lungmanae kamnue sak awh teh, na pakawp awh dawkvah BAWIPA ni yawhawinae na poe awh naseh.
6 Now may Jehovah show loving kindness and truth to you. I also will reward you for this kindness, because you have done this thing.
BAWIPA ni a lungmanae hoi a hawinae nangmouh dawk kamnuek sak naseh. Hete hno na sak awh dawkvah na lungmanae kai ni na patho awh han.
7 Now therefore let your hands be strong, and be valiant; for Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah has anointed me king over them."
Atuvah, tha kâlat awh nateh, taranhawi awh, nangmae bawi Sawl teh a due toe. Judah imthungnaw ni a siangpahrang lah ka o hanelah satui na awi awh toe telah a ti.
8 Now Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's army, had taken Ishbaal the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
Sawl e ransabawi Ner capa Abner ni Sawl e capa Ishbosheth hah Mahanaim kho lah a ceikhai.
9 and he made him king over Gilead, and over the Geshurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
Gilead ram Ashurnaw Jezreel khocanaw Ephraim ram, Benjamin hoi Isarelnaw pueng e lathueng vah siangpahrang hmuen koe a hruek awh.
10 Ishbaal, Saul's son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
Sawl capa Ishbosheth teh Isarelnaw uknae a kamtawng navah, kum 40 touh a pha. Kum hni touh a uk. Judahnaw ni dueng Devit e hnuk a kâbang awh.
11 And the time that David ruled in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
Hebron vah Devit ao teh Judah phun a uknae kum teh kum 7 touh hoi thapa yung 6 touh doeh.
12 Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbaal the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
Ner capa Abner hoi Sawl capa Ishbosheth e a san hah Mahanaim hoi Gibeon kho koe lah a cei.
13 Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met them by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
Zeruiah capa Joab hoi Devit e sannaw a tâco awh teh, Gibeon tuikamuem koevah, a kâhmo awh, rek kadangka lah a tahung awh.
14 Abner said to Joab, "Let the young men now arise and compete before us." Joab said, "Let them arise."
Abner ni Joab koevah thoundounnaw hah ka hmalah tâcawt awh naseh, ka hmalah kâhmo awh naseh. Joab ni tâcawt awh naseh telah a ti.
15 Then they arose and went over by number: twelve of the sons of Benjamin of Ishbaal the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
Sawl e capa Ishbosheth e tami Benjamin phun 12 touh hoi Devit e san 12 touh teh a thaw awh teh a cei awh.
16 They each caught his opponent by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side; so they fell down together. Therefore that place was called Field of Blades, which is in Gibeon.
A tarannaw e lû dawk lengkaleng a kâkuet awh teh a na dawk tahloi hoi a kâthut awh teh koung a rawp awh. Hatdawkvah Gibeon vah kaawm e naw ni haw e hmuen teh Helkathhazzurim (tahloi hruepatue hmuen) telah ati awh.
17 The battle was very severe that day, and Abner and the men of Israel were defeated before the servants of David.
Hote hnin dawk kâtheinae a patawpoung. Abner hoi Isarelnaw Devit e a sannaw hmalah a sung awh.
18 The three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel. And Asahel was as quick on his feet as a wild gazelle.
Hawvah Zeruiah capa Joab hoi Abisai hoi Asahel hai ao. Asahel teh sayuk patetlah a hue a rang.
19 Asahel pursued after Abner, and as he went he did not turn to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
Asahel ni Abner hah avoilah aranglah phen laipalah a pâlei.
20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, "Is it you, Asahel?" He answered, "It is I."
Abner ni a kamlang sin teh, nang hah namaw Asahel telah ati. Ahni ni oe kai doeh telah atipouh.
21 Abner said to him, "Turn aside to your right hand or to your left, and grab one of the young men, and take his armor." But Asahel would not stop from pursuing him.
Abner ni ahni koevah, avoilah aranglah phen haw, thoundoun buetbuet touh e puengcang hah lat pouh telah ati. Hatei Asahel ni ama a pâlei e hah phen takhai han ngai hoeh.
22 Abner said again to Asahel, "Stop pursuing me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then should I hold up my face to Joab your brother?"
Abner ni Asahel koevah na phen takhai lei bang kecu dawk maw talai dawk rep ka tabawk lah na thut han. Na hmaunawngha Joab mei ka hmu ngam han namaw telah bout atipouh.
23 But he refused to stop. Therefore Abner with the back end of the spear struck him in the body, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place. And it came about that all who came to the place where Asahel had fallen and died, stopped there.
Hatei Asahel ni lawk ngai pouh hoeh dawkvah, Abner ni tahroe hoi a von koehoi a thut teh a hnukthun lah tahroehmo pawk a yawng teh, hote hmuen koe a rawp teh a due. Asahel a rawp teh a duenae hmuen koe ka tho pueng ni ouk a kangdue awh.
24 But Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they had come to the hill of Ammah, that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
Joab hoi Abisai ni Abner hah pou a pâlei roi, Gibeon ram thung e lam teng Giah teng e Ammah mon koe a pha nah kanî a khup.
25 The sons of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and formed a single group, and stood on the top of a hill.
Benjaminnaw teh, Abner koe a kamkhueng awh teh, ahu buet touh lah ao awh teh mon dawk a kangdue awh.
26 Then Abner called to Joab, and said, "Shall the sword devour forever? Do you not know that it will be bitterness in the latter end? How long shall it be then, before you ask the people to stop pursuing their brothers?"
Abner ni, Joab a hram sin teh, tahloi ni pou na bouk han namaw apoutnae dawk kâhat han tie na panuek hoeh maw. Bangkongmaw taminaw hah a hmaunawngha ni a pâleinae koehoi, ban hanelah dei pouh laipalah na o han atipouh.
27 Joab said, "As Jehovah lives, if you had not spoken, surely the people would not have given up the pursuit of their brothers until the morning."
Joab ni Cathut a hring e patetlah dei laipalah awm haw, atangtho ditouh ka taminaw ni na pâlei awh han rah atipouh.
28 So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people stopped, and no longer chased after Israel, and they no longer fought.
Joab ni mongka a ueng teh, taminaw a kangdue awh. Isarelnaw pâlei awh hoeh. Tuk awh hoeh toe.
29 Abner and his men went all that night through the Arabah; and they passed over the Jordan, and marched the whole morning, and came to Mahanaim.
Abner hoi a taminaw teh karum tuettuet ayawn dawk a cei awh teh, Jordan tui a raka awh hnukkhu Bithron ram a tapuet awh teh Mahanaim a pha awh.
30 Joab returned from pursuing Abner. And when he had gathered all the people together, there were missing from David's servants nineteen men and Asahel.
Joab teh Abner a pâleinae koehoi a ban teh, taminaw a pâkhueng navah, Devit hoi Asahel e taminaw 19 touh awm hoeh, a due awh toe.
31 But the servants of David had struck of the people of Benjamin, from the men of Abner, three hundred and sixty men who died.
Hatei teh Devit e taminaw ni Benjaminnaw hoi Abner taminaw 360 touh a thei awh.
32 They took up Asahel, and buried him in the tomb of his father, which was in Bethlehem. Joab and his men went all night, and the day broke on them at Hebron.
Asahel e a ro a la awh teh Bethlehem e a na pa e tangkom dawk a pakawp awh. Joab hoi a taminaw karum tuettuet a cei awh teh khodai nah Hebron vah a pha awh.
