< 2 Samuel 4 >
1 Now when Ishbaal, Saul's son, heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, he lost courage, and all Israel was troubled.
Sawl e capa Ishbosheth ni Hebron vah Abner a due tie a thai navah, a tha a youn. Isarelnaw pueng a puen awh teh kângairu awh.
2 And Ishbaal, Saul's son, had two men who were captains of bands; the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the people of Benjamin (for Beeroth was regarded as belonging to the people of Benjamin;
Sawl capa Ishbosheth ni ransanaw kaukkung kahni touh a tawn teh, buet touh e min teh Baanah, alouke buet touh e min teh Rekhab doeh. Benjamin capa Beeroth tami Rimmon capa doeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Beeroth teh Benjamin ram e lah a pouk awh.
3 and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have lived as foreigners there until this day).
Beerothnaw teh Gittaim vah a yawng awh teh, atu sittouh haw vah ao awh.
4 Now Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son whose feet were crippled. He was five years old when the news came of Saul and Jonathan from Jezreel, and his nurse took him up and fled. And it happened as she was hurrying to get away that he fell and was injured. And his name was Mippibaal.
Sawl capa Jonathan ni capa khokkhem a tawn teh, kum 5 a pha navah Jezreel kho lahoi Sawl hoi Jonathan e kamthang a thai navah, ka kheyawn e ni a tawm teh a yawngkhai navah, karanglah a yawng dawkvah, camo hah a bo teh a khokkhem. Hote camo min teh Mephibosheth doeh.
5 The sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbaal, as he took his rest at noon.
Beeroth phun Rimon capa Rekhab hoi Baanah hah a cei roi teh, Ishbosheth im vah kanîthun vah a pha. Hatnae tueng dawk Ishbosheth teh ouk a i.
6 And look, the doorkeeper of the house had been sifting wheat, and she became drowsy and fell asleep. And Rechab and his brother Baanah slipped by.
Haw e hmaunawngha Rekhab hoi Baanah teh, cakang ka lat hane patetlah a kâsak roi teh im lungui a kâen roi.
7 And they went into the house where he was lying on his bed in his bedchamber. And they struck him and killed him, and beheaded him. And they took his head and went by the way of the Arabah all night.
A inae khan dawk a inae koe Ishbosheth e von dawk a thut, a lû a tâtueng roi teh, ayawn lam lahoi karum tuettuet a yawng roi teh a hlout roi.
8 They brought the head of Ishbaal to David at Hebron, and said to the king, "Look, the head of Ishbaal, the son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life. YHWH has avenged my lord the king this day of Saul and his descendants."
Ishbosheth e a lû Hebron kho Devit koe a thokhai teh, siangpahrang koevah khenhaw! hi vah nang thei han ka kâcai e na taran Sawl capa Ishbosheth lû hei, Bawipa ni ka bawipa e moi, sahnin vah Sawl hoi a catoun koevah a pathung toe.
9 David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, "As YHWH lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
Hatei, Devit ni Beeroth tami Rimmon capa Rekhab hoi a hmaunawngha Baanah koe kho pouk runae thung hoi na ka ratang e BAWIPA a hring e patetlah,
10 when someone told me, 'Look, Saul is dead,' thinking to have brought good news, I took hold of him, and killed him in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news.
Kamthang kahawi ka phawt e lah pouk vaiteh, khenhaw! Sawl teh koe a due toe telah tami buet touh ni a dei. Ahni ka man teh Ziklag vah ka thei. Hothateh kamthang kahawi ka phawt e a tawkphu lah ka poe e doeh.
11 How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house on his bed, shall I not now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?"
Hot dueng nahoeh rah, tamikaponaw ni tamikalan hah a imthung e a inae koe thet pawiteh, hoe sak hane kawi nahoehmaw. Atu roeroe ahnie thi hah nangmouh dawk ka hei vaiteh nangmouh hah talai van hoi he pahma hanelah a kamcu nahoehmaw telah ati.
12 David commanded his young men, and they killed them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbaal, and buried it in the grave of Abner son of Ner.
Devit ni a thoundoun hah kâ a poe teh, a thei hnukkhu a kut a khok a tâtueng pouh. Hebron tui kamuem koe a bang awh. Ishbosheth e lû teh a la pouh teh, Hebron e Abner e tangkom koe a pakawp awh.
