< 1 Kings 2 >

1 And, when the days of David drew near that he must die, he charged Solomon his son, saying: —
David lengpa hi a thina ding phat ahung nai phat in aman achapa Solomon chu hiti hin vailhahna ana neipeh in ahi.
2 I, am going the way of all the earth, —thou must be strong, therefore, and show thyself a man;
“Keima hi Leiset chung’a um mihem jouse phatkhat leh ache cheh na diu mun chu kajot ding ahitai. Nangman hangsan tah in pasal phatah umchan hin th in,
3 and keep the observances of Yahweh thy God, by walking in his ways, by keeping his statutes, his commandments, and his regulations and his testimonies, as written in the law of Moses, —to the end thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself;
Pakai na Pathen lungdei lam in hung chon inlang, alampi hin jui jing in, athupeh leh a dan ho Mose Danthu Lekhabu a kisun bang bang in nit jing jengin, chutileh natohna jouse leh na chena jouse’a na lolhin ding ahi.
4 to the end that Yahweh may establish his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy sons will take heed to their way, by walking before me, in truth, with all their heart, and with all their soul, (then, said he) there shall not be cut off to thee a man, from off the throne of Israel.
Hitia chu na bol leh Pakaiyin kei komma a kitepna jouse chu atohdoh thei ding ahi. Aman ka kom’a ei seipeh chu, nason nachilhah ten a lungthim pumpiu leh kitahna neitah a eijui uva ahi leh keiman Israel laltouna a khat ka tousah jing ding ahi,” eina tipeh in ahi.
5 Moreover also, thou, knowest what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me, how he dealt with two generals of the armies of Israel—with Abner son of Ner, and with Amasa son of Jether—both of whom he slew, shedding the blood of war in peace, —and putting the blood of war upon his girdle that was on his loins, and upon his sandals, that were on his feet.
“Chuleh thildang khat jong aum’e, Zeruiah chapa Joab in ipi ana bol am tichu na hen ahi, aman gal lamkai ni, Ner chapa Abner leh Jether chapa Amasa chu ana that in ahi. Aman gal kisat laiya kithat dana agel vang'in hichu chamna um petna abol joh ahibouve, a konggah leh a kengkoh chu thisan ana matsah in ahi.
6 Thou, therefore, must do according to thy wisdom, —but will not let his grey hair go down in peace, to hades. (Sheol h7585)
Hijeh chun ama chung’a hin, phante nati dan dan in hin bolpeh tan, amavang hin lhumsah hih inlang lungmong in alhan mun jotsah hih-in. (Sheol h7585)
7 But, with the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, thou wilt deal in lovingkindness, and they will be among them who eat at thy table, —for, so, drew they near unto me, when I fled from Absolom thy brother.
Gileadna um Barzillai chate chung ah khotona hin musah in, anao chu na ankong ah pan lahsah jengin ajeh chu na sopipa Absalom a kona ka jam lai nikho chun aman eina khohsah lheh-in ahi.
8 Lo! also, there is with thee—Shimei son of Gera a Benjamite, of Behurim, well, he, it was who cursed me with a grievous curse; on the day I journeyed to Mahanaim, —but he, came down to meet me, at the Jordan, and so I sware to him by Yahweh, saying—I will not put thee to death, with the sword.
Chuleh Bahurim a kona Benjamin phungmi Gera chapa Shimei chu geldoh in. Mahamaim lam’a ka jam laijin ama hin nasatah in eina gaosap ahi. Jordan vadunga ei lamto’a ahung chun, keiman Pakaija kihahsel na kana neijin na that ponge kana tin ahi.
9 Now, therefore do not hold him guiltless, for, a wise man, thou art, and wilt know how thou oughtest to deal with him, and wilt suffer his grey hairs to go down with blood, to hades. (Sheol h7585)
Ahinlah hiche ka kihahselna chun ama them achansah dehpon ahi. Nangma miching nahin chule iloding le thisan naisan pumma lhanmun ajot ding alampi hin got them tan,” ati. (Sheol h7585)
10 So then David slept with his fathers, —and was buried in the city of David.
David chu athitan David khopia chun apu apa tetoh a kivui khom tauvin ahi.
11 Now, the days that David reigned over Israel, were forty years, —in Hebron, reigned he seven years, and, in Jerusalem, reigned he thirty and three years.
David chun kum somli vai ana hom in, Hebron ah kum sagi chuleh Jerusalem ah kum somthum le thum vai ana hom in ahi.
12 But, when, Solomon, took his seat upon the throne of David his father, then was the kingdom firmly established.
Solomon chun Lengmun ahin lotan apa David laltouna achun ahung tou tan ahi, chuleh a Lenggam chu hoitah in akisuhdet tan ahi.
13 And Adonijah son of Haggith came in unto Bath-sheba, mother of Solomon: And she said—Peaceably, comest thou? And he said—Peaceably.
Nikhat hi Haggith kitinu chapa Adonijah chu Solomon nu Bethsheba kimupi din ahung in ahi, Bethsheba in, “Chamna lungpu’a na hung hinam?” atileh, amapan jong “Ahinai, chamna dia ka hung ahi,” ati.
14 Then said he—I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said—Say on.
“Tubeh hin keiman na kom ah thum nom khat ka neije” ati. Bethsheba’n jong adonbut in “Ipi ham seijin?” ati.
15 And he said—Thou, knowest that, mine, was the kingdom, and, on me, had all Israel set their faces, that I should become king, —howbeit the kingdom, hath turned about, and become my brother’s, for, from Yahweh, became it, his.
Adonijah in a donbut in, “Nang in na het bang in hiche Lenggam hi keija ding dol ahi, Israel mipite hin lengmun lo dinga kei ei deiju ahi. Ahin lah thil ahung kilehei jin hiche lenggam hi ka sopipa ahung chang tai, ajeh chu hiche hi Pakai thilgon ahi.
16 Now, therefore, one request, have I to ask of thee, do not turn away my face.
Hijeh chun tun keiman na kom’a thilkhat bou ka thum nom’e, lungset tah in nei it peh hihbeh in” ati. “Ipiham seijin?” tin Bethsheba in anadongin ahi.
17 And she said unto him—Say on. And he said—Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, for he will not turn away thy face, —that he give me Abishag the Shunammite, to wife.
Aman a donbut in, “Solomon Lengpa kom ah kei thalheng in thu neihin seipeh in ajeh chu aman na thumthum chu na peh jeng ding ahi. Shunem nungahnu Abishag khu ka ji dingin nei thumpeh in” ati.
18 And Bath-sheba said: Good! I myself, will speak for thee, unto the king.
Bethsheba in asei jin “Henge nange ma khellin lengpa hengah nahin thumpeh nang’e,” ati.
19 So Bath-sheba went in unto King Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah, —and the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself down to her, and sat down upon his throne, and caused a throne to be set for the mother of the king, and she sat on his right hand.
Hiti chun Bethsheba chu Leng Solomon kom ah Adonijah thil thumchu galhut peh dingin achetan ahi. Lengpa chu anu toh kimuto dingin ahung ding doh tan; anu kom achu agah kun in jana apen ahi. Ama atouna a atoukit chun anu touna ding chu ahin gonpeh diuvin thu apen ajet lang’a chun a tousah tan ahi.
20 Then said she—One small request, am I asking of thee, do not turn away my face. And the king said to her—Ask on, my mother, for I will not turn away thy face.
Bethsheba in Solomon jah a, “Thumnom thilneo khat ka neijin nei it peh lou ding ka kinem’e” ati. Hichun Solomon in, “Ipiham Henu seijin ka-itpeh lou ding na het Chula-em,” ati.
21 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother, to wife.
“Achutile nasopipa Adonijah dingin Shunem nungah nu khu pe tan,” ati.
22 Then answered King Solomon, and said to his mother—Wherefore, then, art thou asking Abishag the Shunammite, for Adonijah? ask, then, for him the kingdom, because he is mine elder brother, —even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab, son of Zeruiah.
“Adonijah ding’a iti dana Abishag chu na thum jeng thei ham? Hiche sang a chu, lenggam jeng jong hi nathum jeng leh iti ham? Ama khu ka’u ahi jong nahe in, chuleh Thempu pa Abiather leh Zeruiah chapa Joab jong ama langa pang ahi na hei,” ati.
23 Then swore King Solomon by Yahweh, saying, —So, let God do to me, and, so, let him add, if, at the cost of his life, Adonijah hath not spoken this word.
Chuin Solomon Lengpa chu Pakai min in aki hahsel in “Adonijah in hiche athil thum hi athipi louleh Pathen in kei chung ah akhut lam hen lang ei that jeng hen” ati.
24 Now, therefore, by the life of Yahweh, who hath established me, and seated me upon the throne of David my father, and who hath made for me a household, as he had spoken, surely, to-day, shall Adonijah be put to death!
Pakaiyin kapa David Laltouna a ei tousah a ei suhdet peh a, akitepna bang’a ei inchen sah a, hiche Pakai chu hing jing jeng ahibang in, tuni nikho tah a hi Adonijah thitei tei ding ahi,” atin ahi.
25 So King Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, —and he fell upon him, that he died.
Hiti chun Solomon Lengpan Jehoiada chapa Beniah chu athat din thu apen ahile aman jong Adonijah chu that tai.
26 Also, unto Abiathar the priest, said the king—To Anathoth, get thee unto thine own fields, for, death-doomed, thou art, —but, this day, will I not put thee to death, because thou didst bear the ark of My Lord, Yahweh, before David my father, and because thou wast afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.
Hijouchun Lengpan Abiather Thempu komma chun, “Anathoth mun’a na in ah ki nungle tan, nang hi athi ding’a lom tah chu na hitai, ahinla tutu hin nathat jeng pong’e, ajeh chu nang in kapa David dingin Pakai Pathen thingkong chu naput peh in chuleh ahahsat na jouse nana thoh khompi in ahi,” ati.
27 So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto Yahweh, —to fulfil the word of Yahweh which he spake concerning the household of Eli, in Shiloh.
Hiti chun Solomon in Abiather chu Pakai Thempu panmun a konin a haisah in, hiti chun Pakai jin Shiloh a Eli chilhahte chung chang Pakai thu phondoh chu a lolhin sah in ahi.
28 And, the report, came unto Joab, for, Joab, had inclined after Adonijah, although, after Solomon, he had not inclined, —so then Joab fled into the Tent of Yahweh, and laid hold of the horns of the altar.
Joab hin Absalom doubolna a chu ana pan louvang in Adonijah doubolna joh chu ana pan pin ahi. Hitia hi Adonijah thi thuhi ajah phat in Pakai ponbuh munthenga maicham saki teni chu aga tuhtan tan ahi.
29 And it was told King Solomon—Joab hath fled into the Tent of Yahweh, and, there he is, beside the altar. So Solomon sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying—Go fall upon him!
Hichehi Solomon Lengpa kom a ahetsah phat un aman Jehoiada chapa Beniah chu athat din asol tan ahi.
30 And Benaiah came into the Tent of Yahweh, and said unto him—Thus, saith the king, Come forth! And he said—Nay! but, here, will I die! So Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus, spake Joab, and, thus, he answered me.
Beniah chu Pakai ponbuh munthenga chun a chen Joab kom a chun “Hiche munna kon chun hungdoh in Leng thupeh ahi” atin ahileh Joab in “Hungdoh pong’e hikom ah thiden tang’e” ati. Hichun Beniah chu ahung kilen Joab thusei chu Lengpa kom ah asei peh tan ahileh,
31 And the king said to him—Do as he hath spoken, fall, then, upon him, and bury him, —and so put away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from off me, and from off the house of my father;
“Ama seibang chun boltan” ati. Lengpan “Maicham munna chun hin thatdoh inlang hin vuitan,” ati. “Hichun Joab in ajeh beija thisan asona ho chu kei leh kapa insung ah thepmo na hin sutheng tan te,” ati.
32 thus will Yahweh bring back his blood upon his own head, in that he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing it, —even Abner son of Ner, general of the army of Israel, and Amasa son of Jether, general of the army of Judah;
“Ama sanga phajo le chonpha jo chuleh kitah jo mini athana phu chu Pakaiyin lethuh nante, ajeh chu aman Israel sepaite lamkai Ner chapa Abner leh Judahh sepaite lamkai Jether chapa amasa atha chu kapa’n ana hetphah lou ahi.
33 thus shall their blood come back upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed unto times age-abiding, —but, David and his seed, and his house, and his throne, shall have peace, unto times age-abiding, from Yahweh.
Athisan phu chu Joab leh ason apah ho chung ah a tonsot'in chu jeng hen lang amavang David leh a chilhah chung leh alal touna chung ah atonsot nin Pakaiyin chamna pejing tahen,” ati.
34 So Benaiah son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and put him to death, —and he was buried in his own house, in the wilderness.
Hichun Jehoiada chapa Beniah chu achekit in ponbuh theng maicham munna chun Joab chu athat in, chule gam mang lam a ain muna chun ahin vuitan ahi.
35 And the king put Benaiah son of Jehoiada, in his stead, over the army, —and, Zadok the priest, did the king put in the stead of Abiathar.
Hijou chun Lengpan Beniah chu Joab khel in sepai lamkai jin apansah tan, chuleh Abiather khel in Zadok chu thempu in a pansah tan ahi.
36 And the king sent, and called for Shimei, and said to him—Build thee a house, in Jerusalem, so shalt thou dwell there, —and shalt not go forth from thence, hither or thither;
Chuin Lengpan Shimei chu aga kousah in a seipeh tan ahi, “Jerusalem ahin in kisah inlang cheng tan. Ahinla hiche khopia kona hin mun chom’a potdoh hihin,
37 but it shall be that, on the day thou goest forth, and passest over the Kidron ravine, know, that thou shalt, die, —thy blood, shall be, upon thine own head.
Nang in Kidron phaicham nahin khokhel poupou le hiche nikho nile nathi teitei ding ahi, chule hiche nathisan phu chu nangme le nangman nakipoh ding ahi,” ati.
38 And Shimei said to the king—Good, is the word, as my lord the king hath spoken, so, will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
Shimei in, “Na thutan chu adih e ken jong kapu Lengpan nasei dungjuija ka chon ding ahi tai,” ati. Hiti chun Shimei chu Jerusalem ah phat sottah achengin ahi.
39 But it came to pass, at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei fled unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath, —and they told Shimei, saying—Lo! thy servants are in Gath.
Ahin kum thum jouvin asoh teni ajamdoh lhon in Gath khoa Maacah chapa Achisah kom ah ajam lut lhon tan ahi, Shimei in aum na lhon ahet doh phat in,
40 So Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath, unto Achish, to seek his servants—and Shimei went and brought in his servants, from Gath.
Sangan chung ah atoudoh in asoh teni hol in Gath ah achen aga hol doh in amu phat in Jerusalem ah ahin puilut kit tai.
41 And it was told Solomon—Shimei hath been out of Jerusalem to Gath, and returned.
Solomon chun Shimei in Jerusalem a dalhan apotdoh in Gath aga pha in ahung kile kit tai tin aja tan ahi.
42 Then sent the king and called for Shimei, and said unto him—Did I not put thee on oath by Yahweh, and adjure thee, saying—On the day thou goest forth and takest thy journey hither or thither, know, that thou shalt, die. Then saidst thou unto me—Good, is the word I have heard.
Hijeh chun Lengpan Shimei chu aga kousah in, “Keiman nangma hi na potdoh louhel ding na potdoh poupouleh na thitei tei ding ahi tia Pakai minna ka kitep sah nahi lou ham? Hiche a chun nang in jong na thutan chu adih’e, na sei dungjuija ka chon ding ahi nati hilou ham?
43 Why then, hast thou not kept the oath of Yahweh, —and the charge which I laid upon thee?
Ahileh tua hi nang in ibol’a nang in ka thupeh nit ding’a Pakai minna na kitepna na nit lou ham?” atitan ahi.
44 Then said the king unto Shimei—Thou, knowest all the wickedness which thy heart is privy to, which thou didst unto David my father, —therefore shall Yahweh bring back thy wickedness, upon thine own head.
Lengpan Shemei kom ah asei be’n, “Nang in kapa David chung’a thil gilou tah nana bol chu na geldoh em? Pakaiyin na thilse bol chu na luchung’a chuh sah tahen!
45 But, King Solomon, shall be blessed, —and, the throne of David, shall be established before Yahweh, unto times age-abiding.
Ahinlah keima Leng Solomon in Pakai phattheiboh chu mu jing ingting chuleh David son khat Pakai anga Lal touna a hin tou jeng hen” ati.
46 So the king charged Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he went out and fell upon him, that he died, —and, the kingdom, was established in the hand of Solomon.
Hichun lengpan athu apeh dung jui jin Jehoiada chapa Beniah in Shimei chu polang’a a puidoh in athat tai. Hiti hin Lenggam chu Solomon khut noi ah a detchet tan ahi.
