2 Samuel 1
1 It happened after the death of Saul, that David returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and he stayed two days in Ziklag.
Saul a dueknah hnukah David te Amalek a tloek lamkah ha mael. Te vaengah David te Ziklag ah hnin nit om.
2 It happened on the third day, that, look, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn and dirt on his head. And it came about when he came to David that he fell to the ground and paid homage.
Hnin thum a om phoeiah Saul taengkah hlang te caem lamkah tarha ha pawk. A himbai te a pawnsoem la a lu dongkah laipi neh David taengla ha pawk vaengah lai la yalh tih a bawk.
3 David said to him, "Where do you come from?" He said to him, "I have escaped out of the camp of Israel."
Anih te David loh, “Me lamkah lae na pawk,” a ti nah. Te dongah amah te, “Israel caem lamloh ka yong,” a ti nah.
4 David said to him, "How did it go? Please tell me." He answered, "The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also."
Te dongah anih te David loh, “Olka aka om te kai taengah thui laeh,” a ti nah hatah pilnam te caemtloek lamkah rhaelrham tih pilnam muep a duek te khaw, Saul a duek te khaw, a capa Jonathan a duek khaw a thui pah.
5 David said to the young man who had told him this, "How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?"
Te dongah amah taengla aka puen cadong te David loh, “Saul neh a capa Jonathan a duek te me tlam lae na ming?” a ti nah.
6 Then the young man replied, "I happened to be on Mount Gilboa and saw Saul leaning on his spear. And look, the chariots and the horsemen were closing in on him.
Amah taengla aka puen cadong loh, “Gilboa tlang la ka thoeng rhoe ka thoeng. Te vaengah Saul te amah kah caai dongah hangdang tih leng neh marhang caem boei rhoek loh anih te tarha a cuuk thil uh.
7 When he looked behind him, he saw me, and called to me. I answered, 'Here I am.'
Te vaengah a hnukla ha mael tih kai m'hmuh hatah ng'khue tih, ‘Kai ni he ue,’ ka ti nah.
8 He said to me, 'Who are you?' I answered him, 'I am an Amalekite.'
Te phoeiah kai te, ‘Nang ulae,’ a ti. Te dongah anih te ka doo tih, Kai ‘Amalek ni,’ ka ti nah.
9 He said to me, 'Please stand beside me, and kill me; for anguish has taken hold of me, yet there is life in me still.'
“Te vaengah, ‘Kai taengah pai lamtah kai he n'duek sak laeh, duekrhui loh kai n'tuuk tih ka khuiah ka hinglu khaw khak om pueng he,’ a ti.
10 So I stood beside him, and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen. Then I took the crown that was on his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord."
Tedae a cungku coeng he tah hing mahpawh tila ka ming dongah anih te ka pai tih ka duek sak. Te phoeiah a lu dongkah rhuisam neh a ban dongkah cak ka loh tih ka boei taengla pahoi kang khuen,” a ti nah.
11 Then David grabbed his clothes and tore them, and all the men with him did the same.
Te dongah David loh a himbai te a paco tih a phen hatah a taengkah hlang rhoek long khaw boeih a rhoi uh.
12 They mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of YHWH, and for the house of Israel; because they had fallen by the sword.
Cunghang neh a cungku uh coeng dongah Israel imkhui ham khaw, BOEIPA kah pilnam ham khaw, Saul ham neh a capa Jonathan ham khaw a rhaengsae uh. Rhap uh tih kholaeh duela a yaeh uh.
13 David said to the young man who had told him, "Where are you from?" He answered, "I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite."
Te phoeiah amah taengla aka puen camoe te David loh, “Nang me lamkah lae,” a ti nah hatah, “Kai tah Amalek yinlai, hlang capa ni,” a ti nah.
14 David said to him, "How is it that you were not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy YHWH's anointed?"
Tedae anih te David loh, “BOEIPA kah a koelh te thup hamla kut na hlah te balae tih na rhih pawh?” a ti nah.
15 David called one of the young men, and said, "Go near, and fall on him." He struck him, so that he died.
Te phoeiah David loh cadong pakhat te a khue tih, “Thoeih lamtah, cuuk thil,” a ti nah. Te dongah a ngawn tih duek.
16 David said to him, "Your blood is on your head, for your mouth has testified against you, saying, 'I have killed YHWH's anointed.'"
Anih te David loh, “‘BOEIPA kah a koelh te kai loh ka duek sak,’ na ti tih na ka loh namah taengah a phoe coeng dongah na thii khaw namah thii vanbangla namah lu soah tla saeh,” a ti nah.
17 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son,
Saul neh a capa Jonathan te David loh rhahlung neh a rhaengsae.
18 and said it should be taught to the people of Judah. Look, it is written in the book of Jashar.
Te dongah Jashar cabu dongkah a daek liva laa he Judah ca rhoek a cang ham a thui.
19 "Your glory, Israel, is slain on your high places. How the mighty have fallen.
Israel kirhang hlangrhalh nang loh, hmuensang ah balae tih a rhok la a cung uh.
20 Do not tell it in Gath. Do not publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised celebrate.
Gath ah na puen pawh, Ashkelon tollong ah khaw na phong pawh. Philisti nu loh n'kokhah ve pumdul nu rhoek sundaep uh ve.
21 You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew nor rain on you, nor fields of offerings. For there the shield of the mighty was dishonored. The shield of Saul, no longer anointed with oil.
Gilboa tlang ah buemtui tla boel saeh, nang soah khotlan khaw bo boel saeh. Saul kah photling, hlangrhalh photling te na tuei dongah khocang hmuen loh situi nen khaw koelh boel saeh.
22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, Jonathan's bow did not retreat. Saul's sword did not return empty.
Hlangrhalh tha neh salaem thii he, Jonathan kah liva loh a hnuk la balkhong tak pawt tih Saul kah cunghang khaw kuttling la a mael moenih.
23 Saul and Jonathan, beloved and lovely, not separated. Lovely in their life, and in their death they were not separated. They were swifter than eagles. They were stronger than lions.
Saul neh Jonathan lung uh rhoi. A hing khuiah naepnoi rhoi tih a duek vaengah tuiphih pawh. Atha lakah yanghoep rhoi tih, sathueng lakah a na rhoi.
24 You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you luxuriously in scarlet, who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.
Nangmih a lingdik neh omthennah aka bawn tih, na pueinak dongah sui cangen neh aka cam Israel nu rhoek loh, Saul te rhah uh lah.
25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle. Jonathan is slain on your high places.
Na hmuensang kah Jonathan te, hlangrhalh rhoek loh caemrhal laklo ah a rhok la a cungku sak uh.
26 I grieve for you, my brother. You have been very pleasant to me. Your love for me was a wonder, more than the love of women.
Ka manuca Jonathan nang ham kai n'daengdaeh. Kai taengah na hlahmae sut tih, yuu kah lungnah lakah khaw kai ham tah, nang kah lungnah ni khobaerhambae coeng.
27 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished."
Balae tih hlangrhalh rhoek a cungku uh vaengah, caemtloek kah hnopai khaw a paltham.
