< 2 Samuel 3 >
1 And the war between the house of Saul and the house of David was prolonged, —and, David, waxed stronger and stronger, and, the house of Saul, became weaker and weaker.
Hichu Saul dia kitah tah a pang hole David dia kitah tah a pang ho kikah a sotpi kidouna anaum akipat na ahi. hitichun phat ahungchal chal in David chu ahung hat cheh cheh in, ahin Saul’s thanei na vang chu ahung kem suh cheh cheh tan ahi.
2 And there were born unto David, sons, in Hebron, —and it came to press that—His firstborn was Amnon, by Ahinoam, the Jezreelitess;
Hichun David in Hebron khopi ah chapa phabep ahingin ahi: apeng masapenpa chu ahileh Amnon ahin amahi Jezreel mi ahinoam in ahinpeh ahi.
3 And his second Chileab, by Abigail, wife of Nabal the Carmelite, And the third Absolom, son of Maachah, daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur;
Chule anichan na chapa chu Daniel ahin amahi Carmel khoa Nabal inneipi meithai nu toh ahin lhon ahi. chule athum chan na chu Absalom ahin, Geshur lengpa, Tamai chanu Maacah in ahinpeh ahi.
4 And the fourth Adonijah, son of Higgith, —And the fifth Shephatiah, son of Abital;
Ali channa chu Adonijah ahin, anu minchu Haggith ahi. chule anga channa chu Abital in ahin Shephatiah ahi.
5 And the sixth Ithream, by Eglah wife of David. These, were born unto David, in Hebron.
Chule agup channa chu Ithream ahin, David’s jinu Eglah hin ahi. chapa hichengsehi David in Hebron munna ahin hochu ahi.
6 And it came to pass, while the war continued between the house of Saul and the house of David, that, Abner, shewed himself courageous for the house of Saul.
David insung le Saul insung mite kah a kidouna aumjing laichun, Abner chu Saul insung mite adin lamkai thahattah ahung hitan ahi.
7 Now, Saul, had a concubine, whose name, was Rizpah daughter of Aiah, —and [Ish-bosheth] said unto Abner, Why, wentest thou in, unto my father’s concubine?
Nikhat chu ahitin ahi Saul’s chapa Ishbosheth chun Abner chu apa thaikemnu Rizpah kiti Aiah chanu toh chun lumkhom danin angoh tan ahi.
8 And it provoked Abner greatly, on account of the words of Ish-bosheth, and he said—Am I, the head of the dogs, that pertain unto Judah? To-day, would I deal in lovingkindness with the house of Saul thy father, towards his brethren, and towards his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David, —and yet thou hast charged upon me the transgression of the woman, today.
Hichun Abner chu alungsou lheh jengin, “keimahi Judah te uicha bonga hitia pehlele ding kahim?” tin apeng jah jing tan ahi. “Keiman ijakai napa Saul, a insung mite chule aloile gol ho dia kaboldoh jouva nangho jeng jong David khut a kapeh doh lou nahiu vin, nangman hiche numeinu chungchanga kathemmo nading nahol, hiche hiham kachan ding chu? Ati.
9 So, may God do unto Abner, and, so, may he add to him, —if, as Yahweh hath sworn unto David, even so, I deal not with him;
Pakaiyin athu teppih chu David in amolso jou nadia keiman imacha a kakithopi lou poupouleh Pathen in keima eibolgim henlang eithat jeng hen!
10 by turning over the kingdom from the house of Saul, —and establishing the throne of David, over Israel and over Judah, from Dan, even unto Beer-sheba.
Keima kachi ding Saul’s lenggam chu kalah a David khut a kapeh ding ahi. chule keiman David laltouna Israel le Judah mite chunga katundoh ding hichu sahlam Dan a pat lhanglam Beersheba gei hiding ahi.
11 And he could no further answer Abner, a word, —because he feared him.
Hichun Ishbosheth jong chun thudang aseibe tapon ahi ajeh chu Abner in epi ahinbol ding chu akichat ahi.
12 So Abner sent messengers unto David, on the spot, saying—Whose, is the land? Saying [also] —Solemnise thy covenant with me; and lo! my hand, shall be with thee, to bring round unto thee, all Israel.
Chuin Abner injong sottol le hochu David kom asolin hitin aseisah tai, “gamsung pumpihi nanga hilou ham? Hijeh chun keima toh kitepna sem in, chuti leh keiman Israel mipi jouse hi nangmatoh apankhom nathei diuva kahin kithopi ding nahi, ati.
13 And he said—Good! I, will solemnise with thee a covenant, —but, one thing, must I ask of thee, saying—Thou shalt not see my face, except thou have brought in Michal, Saul’s daughter, when thou comest to see my face.
Chuin David in adonbut in, “aphai,” Ahin kajinu Michal, Saul’s chanu chu nahung teng nahin lepui louleh nangma toh kihaolim na kaneilou ding ahi, ati.
14 And David sent messengers unto Ish-bosheth son of Saul, saying, —Give up my wife, Michal, whom I espoused to myself, for a hundred foreskins of Philistines.
Hiti chun David in hiche thuhi Saul chapa Ishbosheth chu athot tan ahi: “kajinu Michal chu neihin lepih in, ajeh chu keiman amahi Philistines mijakhat hinkho toh kahin kipuitha ahi.” tin aseitai.
15 So Ish-bosheth sent and took her from her husband, —from Paltiel, son of Laish.
Hijeh chun Ishbosheth injong Michal chu ajipa Palti, Liash chapa akon chun agapuidoh tan ahi.
16 And her husband went along with her, weeping as he went behind her, as far as Behurim, —when Abner said unto him—Go, return. And he returned.
Hitichun Paltin jong amanu nung chu Bahurim lamchan kap pumpum in ahinjui peh in, hichun Abner in aja ah, “inlam kinung letan!” ati. Chuin Palti jong inlam akinung le tan ahi.
17 Then had Abner, speech, with the elders of Israel, saying, —In times past, ye were seeking David, to be king over you.
Hitichun Abner’in Israel upa ho chu akihaolim pin, hitin aseipih tai, “nang hon phatkhat lai a David chu naleng diuva nana dei u hilou ham?”
18 Now, therefore, act, —for Yahweh, spake unto David, saying, By the hand of David my servant, will I save my people Israel, out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.
Hijeh chun tuhi aphat ahitai! Ajeh chu Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “keiman David hi kami Israel te Philistines te khut leh agalmiteu dang jouse akon huhdoh dia kalhen ahitai.”tin.
19 And Abner also spake in the ears of Benjamin, —and Abner also went to speak in the ears of David, in Hebron, all that was pleasing in the eyes of Israel, and in the eyes of all the house of Benjamin.
Chuin Abner in Benjamin mite kom injong agasei kit in, chujouvin Israel mite jouse le, Benjamin miten jong David kithopi ding anupna thu'u gasei din Hebron lam jonin achi tan ahi.
20 So, when Abner came in unto David, in Hebron, and, with him, twenty men, David made, for Abner, and for the men who were with him, a banquet.
Chuin Abner le amite mi somni Hebron alhun uchun, David in golvah loupi tah abolpin ahi.
21 Then said Abner unto David—I will verily arise and go, and gather together unto my lord the king, all Israel—that they may solemnise with thee a covenant, so shalt thou reign over all that thy soul desireth. And David let Abner go, and he departed in peace.
Chujou vin Abner in David kom chun aseiyin, “keima chengting kapu lengpa tosot din Israel mipi jouse gakhom ingting chule amaho leng nahi thei nadin amahon nangma toh kitep na khat sem untin chule nangman amaho jouse chungah nangma lungdei bang tah in vaihom tan,” Ati. Hiti chun David in Abner chu asol tan ahile amapa jong lungmong tah in achitan ahi.
22 And lo! the servants of David, and Joab, came in from a raid, and, great spoil, brought they in with them; but, Abner, was not with David in Hebron, for he had let him go, and he had departed in peace.
Ahinlah David in Abner lungmong tah a asoldoh jou chat chun, Joab le David’s sepai themkhat hochu michom a achi naova kon thil tampi toh ahungkile tha taovin ahi.
23 When, Joab, and all the host that was with him, had come in, then told they Joab, saying, Abner son of Ner hath been in unto the king, and he hath let him go, and he hath departed in peace.
Chuin Joab ahung lhunlhun chun, mihon aseipih un Abner chun injo chat chun Lengpa ahungvil in chule ama lungmong tah in akisol doh tai atiu vin ahi.
24 Then Joab came in unto the king, and said—What hast thou done? Lo! Abner came in unto thee. Wherefore is it that thou didst let him go, so that he is clean departed?
Chujou vin Joab jong lengpa kom alhaijelin ngehna aganei tan ahi, “nangman epi nabol hitam? epi nabol na a nangman Abner chu lungmong tah a nasol doh jeng hitam? ati.
25 Thou knowest Abner son of Ner, that, to deceive thee, he came, —and to take knowledge of thy going out, and thy coming in, and to take knowledge of all that thou art doing.
Nangman kichenin nahenai ama chu nangma umchan kholtoh ding le nathilbol jouse kholtoh dinga hung ahi chu!” ati.
26 And, when Joab had come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, and brought him back from the well of Sirah, —but, David, knew it not.
Chujou vin Joab’in David chu adalhan asot tolle hochun Abner agamet uva ahin lepui diuvin asol tan ahi. chuin amahon Abner chu Sirah twikul akon ahin lepui un ahi, ahin David in thil umchan emacha ahepoi.
27 So Abner returned to Hebron, and Joab took him aside into the midst of the gate, to speak with him quietly, —and then smote him there, in the belly, that he died, for the blood of Asahel the brother of Joab.
Chuin Abner Hebron ahung le lhun tan, hichun Joab’in amachu kelkot phung lamah achanga kihaolimpi ding bang in apuidoh tan ahi. hinlah Abner chun asopipa Asahel phulah nan a oipoh laitah chu asutpih in athat tan ahi.
28 And, when David heard of it, after that, he said—Guiltless, am I and my kingdom before Yahweh, unto times age-abiding, —of the blood of Abner son of Ner.
Hitabang thilsoh David in ajahdoh phat chun, hitin thuphon aneitai, “Pakai minna kakitep ahi Ner chapa Abner chungchang thua hi keima le kalenggam eitih a mona neilou kahiuve ati.
29 Let it be hurled upon the head of Joab, and against all his father’s house, —and let there not fail from the house of Joab—one that hath an issue, or a leper, or one that leaneth on a crutch, or that falleth by the sword, or that lacketh bread.
Joab le a insung mite jouse themmo changah ahitai. Chule Joab insung mite akon hitabong gaosap na, thisan a long damlouna, tiphah, tenggol kiphu a lamjotna, chemjam a thina chule anneh lhah sam nahohi akhang khang uvin umjing hen.
30 Thus, Joab and Abishai his brother, slew Abner, —because he had caused the death of Asahel their brother, in Gibeon, in the battle.
Hiti chun Joab le asopipa Abishai in Abner chu athat lhon tan ahi ajeh chu Abner in asopipa lhon Asahel Gibeon galmun na atha jeh ahi.
31 And David said unto Joab, and unto all the people who were with him, —Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and lament aloud before Abner. And, King David himself, was following the bier.
Chuin David in Joab le aumkhompi hocheng kom achun hitin aseiye, “napon jouseu bot eh unlang khaodip pon jeng kivon un chule Abner adin lunghemmun ati. Chuin leng David amatah jong vuinalam a chi miho nung chu ajuitan ahi.
32 And they buried Abner in Hebron, —and the king lifted up his voice and wept, at the grave of Abner, and all the people wept.
Hiti chun Abner chu Hebron munna avui taovin, chule lengpa le mipi jouse chu Abner lhan chungah chun akap tao vin ahi.
33 And the king addressed his dirge unto Abner, and said, —As a base man dieth, should Abner have died?
Chuin lengpan Abner dingin hiche mithila hi asai: “Abner chu mingol thi a thiding hitam?
34 Thy hands, were not bound, And, thy feet, near to fetters, were not brought, As one falleth before assassins, so didst thou fall! And again all the people wept over him.
Nakhut tenila akikan pon; nakeng tenila akisompon. Migilouho kitha bangin nangma naki that tai” atin ahileh, mipi jouse chu Abner adin akapkit uvin ahi.
35 And, when all the people came near to get David to eat bread, while yet it was day, David sware, saying—So, let God do to me, and, so, let him add, if, before the sun go in, I taste bread, or anything else.
Hiche Abner thi nikho chun nehding jouse David adatan hinlah mipi jouse chu ataovin netei in atiuve. Hinlah David in kitepna asem in, hitin aseiye, “keiman nilhum masanga epi hijong leh kaneh poupouleh Pathen’in isugim henlang tha jong ithat jeng hen, ati.
36 And, all the people, took note of it, and it was noble in their eyes, —as, all that the king did, was, in the eyes of all the people, noble.
Hichun mipiho chu alunglhai shah lheh taovin ahi. chule ahimongin, lengpa thilbol jouse chun amaho alunglhai sah un ahi.
37 So then all the people, and all Israel, took note, that day, that it was not of the king, to cause the death of Abner son of Ner.
Hitichun Abner’s kithana chung changa David in pan alahlou dan Judah a um mijouse le Israel mite jousen ahethem taovin ahi.
38 And the king said unto his servants, —Will ye not take note that, a prince and a great man, hath fallen this day, in Israel?
Chuin leng David in a sepai lamkai ho kom chun aseiyin, “tunia Israel sunga lamkai jaumtah khat alhuh hi geldoh lou nahiu ham?
39 And, I myself, this day, am weak, though anointed king, but, these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are more severe than I: Yahweh repay, the doer of wickedness, according to his wickedness.
chule keima hi lengdia thao kinusa hijeng jong leng, Zeruiah chapateni – Joab le Abishai hi keiman kathunoi a kakoidin ahatbehset lhonin ahi. hijeh chun Pakaiyin migiloupa chu athilpha lou bol dung jui in lethuh tahen,” ati.
