2 Samuel 20
1 Now there happened to be a worthless man, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bikri, a Benjamite. And he blew the trumpet, and said, "We have no share in David, nor do we have any inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to his tents, Israel."
Te vaengah hlang muen pakhat om, a ming tah Benjamin hlang, Bikhri capa Sheba ni. Tuki tea ueng tih, “Mamih kah hamsum he David ham moenih, mamih kah rho he Jesse capa taengah a om ham moenih. Israel rhoekTe amah kah dap la boeih cet saeh,” a ti.
2 So all Israel deserted David and followed Sheba the son of Bikri, but the men of Judah stayed by their king, from the Jordan to Jerusalem.
Te dongah Israel hlang boeih tah David hnuk lamloh Bikhri capa Sheba hnuk la cetuh. Tedae Judah hlang tah Jordan lamloh Jerusalem duela a manghai nen ni a kaibaenguh.
3 Then David came to his palace at Jerusalem, and the king took the ten women his secondary wives, whom he had left to keep the palace, and placed them under guard, and provided for them, but did not go in to them. So they were kept in confinement until the day of their death, living as widows.
DavidTe Jerusalem kah amah im laa pawk vaengah im tawt laa paiha yula huta parha te manghai loh a loh tih im hloeh ah a khueh. Amih te a cangbam van ngawn dae amih taengla moe pah voel pawh. Amih te a duek hnin duelaa daengdaeh dongah a khosaknah he nuhmai la omuh.
4 Then the king said to Amasa, "Summon the men of Judah to me within three days, and be present here yourself."
Manghai loh Amasa taengah, “Hnin thum khuiah Judah hlang te kamah taengla hueh lamtah namah khaw pahoi om,” a tinah.
5 So Amasa went to summon Judah together, but he delayed beyond the set time that had been allotted him.
Amasa loh Judah rhoekTe hueh hamla cet ngawn dae uelh, uelh tih tingtunnah tea khueh.
6 David said to Abishai, "Now Sheba the son of Bikri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Now then, take your lord's servants with you and pursue after him, otherwise he will get himself to fortified cities and escape from us."
Te dongah David loh Abishai taengah, “Absalom lakah Bikhri capa Sheba loh mamih taengah thae a huet pawn ni. Namah loh na boeipa kah sal rhoek ke khuen lamtah a hnukah hloem laeh. Khopuei vong cakTe anih loh hmuh vetih mamih mikhmuh ah huul uh ve,” a tinah.
7 So there went out after him Joab's men and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and all the warriors. And they went out from Jerusalem to pursue Sheba son of Bikri.
Te dongah Joab kah hlang rhoek, Kerethi, Phelethi neh hlangrhalh boeih tah anih hnukah cet uh tih, Bikhri capa Sheba hnuk hloem hamla Jerusalem lamloh khoonguh.
8 When they were at the great stone that is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. And Joab was wearing his military attire, and over it was a belt with a dagger in its sheath fastened at his waist, and as he advanced it fell out.
AmihTe Gibeon lungnu ah a om uh vaengah AmasaTe amih mikhmuh aha pawkpah. Te dongah Joab loh a himbai neh a pueinak te a muk. Capang dongkah cunghangTe cihin neh a cinghen aha sol dae a khuen vaengah vik a colhpah.
9 And Joab said to Amasa, "Is it well with you, my brother?" Then Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.
Joab loh Amasa te, “Ka manuca na sading a? a tinah. Te phoeiah anih te mok hamla Amasa hnapae te Joab kah bantang kut neh a tuuk.
10 But Amasa did not notice the sword that was in Joab's hand. And he stabbed him with it in the abdomen, so that his intestines spilled out on the ground, and he did not do it to him again. Thus he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba son of Bikri.
Te vaengah Joab kut dongkah cunghang te Amasa loh hmuethmat pawh. Te dongah AmasaTe tumca neha bung aha laih tih a bungTe diklai la pawk a soppah. Anih tea talh mueh la duek. Te phoeiah Joab neh a mana Abishai loh Bikhri capa Sheba tea hloem.
11 And one of Joab's young men stood beside Amasa and said, "Whoever is the one that favors Joab and whoever belongs to David, follow Joab."
Te vaengah Joab kah tueihyoeih khui lamkah hlang pakhatTe a taengah pai tih, “U khaw Joab taengla aka naep tih u khaw David ham aka ti te tah Joab hnukah bat saeh,” a ti.
12 But Amasa lay covered with his blood in the midst of the road, and anyone who came by, seeing him, stopped. So when the man saw that all the people stopped, he dragged Amasa from the road into a field and threw a garment over him.
Amasa tah long lung aha thii neha bol vaengah hlang pakhat loh a hmuh. Te dongah pilnam te boeiha hloh tih Amasa te longpuei lamloh lohma la a thoeihuh. Anih taengla aka thoeng boeih loh a hmuh vaengaha pai thil tih anihTe himbaia khuk thil.
13 When he was removed from the road, all the people followed Joab in pursuit of Sheba son of Bikri.
Long lamloha khoe van nen tah hlang boeih loh Bikhri capa Sheba hnuk hloem hamla Joab tea paan.
14 He went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel of Beth Maacah, and all the Bikrites assembled and followed him.
Te vaengah Israel koca boeihTe Abel lungnu neh Bethmaakha due, Beree boeih te khawa hil. Te dongah coi tih, tingtun uh tih a hnukah banguh.
15 And all the people who were with Joab came and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maacah. And they built a siege ramp against the city, and it stood against the rampart, and they were battering the wall so that it would collapse.
Abelbethmaakaha pha uh vaengah anih te koep a dumuh. Khopuei te tanglung malh a lun thil uh tih rhalmahvong tea pai thil. Joab neha pilnam pum loh vongtung te cungku sak hama thuk.
16 Then a wise woman called out from the wall, "Listen, listen. Please tell Joab to come here so that I may speak to him.
Te vaengah khopuei lamkah huta aka cueihTe pang tih, “Hnatun, hnatun uh mai lah, Joab te, 'Hela ha mop lamtah namah taengah ka thui eh?,’ ti nah dae,” a ti.
17 So he approached her, and the woman said, "Are you Joab?" And he replied, "I am." Then she said, "Listen to the words of your servant." And he replied, "I'm listening."
A taenglaa thoeng pah vaengah huta loh, “Joab nang a,” a tinah. Te dongah, “Kai ni ue,” a tinah. Te phoeiah, 'Na salnu kah ol he hnatun lah,” a ti nah hatah, “Ka hnatun ngawn,” a tinah.
18 Then she said, "In the past they used to say, 'Let them inquire in Abel and in Dan whether
Te phoeiaha thui lam khaw thuipah. Hlamat aha thui uh tih Abel ah toem la toem uh tih cing uh,’ a ti lah ko.
19 that which the faithful of Israel established has been carried out.' You seek to destroy a city that is a mother in Israel. Why do you want to swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?"
Kai long tah Israel he oltak la ka thuung vaengah nang long tah khopuei neh Israel khuikaha manuTe ngawn ham na mae. Balae tih BOEIPA kah rho na yoop eh?,” a tinah.
20 Joab answered, "Far be it from me that I should swallow up or destroy.
Joab loh a doo tih, “Savisava la savisava, kai lamloh aka yoop mai tih aka phae mai te.
21 That is not the case. But a man of the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bikri, has rebelled against king David. Give up him alone and I will withdraw from the city." Then the woman said to Joab, "Look, his head will be thrown to you from the wall."
He tah ol voel moenih. Tedae Ephraim tlang kah hlang pakhat, Bikhri capa, a ming ah Sheba loh manghai David te a kuta luklek thil. Anih bueng mah han tloeng lamtah khopuei lamloh ka nong bitni,” a tinah. Te vaengah huta loh Joab taengah, “A luTe vongtung lamloh namah taengla ham voeih coeng te,” a tinah.
22 Then she spoke to all the city with her wise advice, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bikri and threw it out to Joab. So he blew the trumpet, and they were dispersed from him, each returning to his home. And Joab went back to Jerusalem to the king.
Huta loh pilnam boeih te a cueihnah neha paan dongah Bikhri capa Sheba kah a lu tea rhaih pa uh tih Joab taenglaa voeihuh. Te daengah tuki tea ueng tih, hlang khopuei lamloh amah kah dap duela taekyakuh. Te phoeiah JoabTe Jerusalem kah manghai taengla koep mael.
23 Now Joab was in command of the entire army of Israel; and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was in command of the Cherethites and in command of the Pelethites;
Te dongah Israel caempuei boeih te Joab loh, Kerethi neh PhelethiTe Jehoiada capa Benaiah loh,
24 and Adoniram was in command of the forced labor; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
Adoram loh saldong boei, Ahilud capa Jehoshaphat loh khokhuen cabu,
25 and Shisha was scribe; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
ShevaTe cadaek, Zadok neh Abiathar loh khosoih te a ngol thil.
26 and also Ira the Jairite was David's priest.
Jairi Ira khaw David taengah khosoih la om van.
