< 2 Samuel 1 >

1 And so it was, after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the smiting of the Amalekites, and David had abode in Ziklag two days,
Saul thi jouvin ahitin ahi, David chun Amalek mite chunga galjona aneijou vin ahung kinung len Ziklag munnah nini sung aumden in ahi.
2 yea so it was, on the third day, that lo! a man came out of the camp, from Saul, with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head, —and so it was, when he came in unto David, that he fell to the earth, and did homage.
Anithum nin mikhat Saul’s ngahmun a konin von tel dehduh le aluchunga leiset nat pum in lunghem vetsahnan a hungin, David angsungah jana neitah in abohkhup tan ahi.
3 And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel, am I escaped.
Chuin David in adong in, “hoiya kon hung nahim”? atileh amapan adonbut in, “Israel te ngahmun a kon hung jamdoh kahi” ati.
4 And David said unto him—How turned out the matter? tell me, I pray thee. And he said—The people have fled from the battle, yea moreover, many, of the people have fallen, and died, Yea moreover, Saul, and Jonathan his son, are dead.
Chuin David in adongin, “Epiti hytam?” “Gal umchan thu neiseipih in” ati, chuin aman adonbut in, “kasepai te jouseu galmun akon ajam gam uvin, mitampin thina atoh un, chule Saul le achapa Jonathan jong athi lhon tai ati.”
5 Then said David unto the young man who was telling him, —How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
Chuin David in Gollhangpa ja ah, “Eti Saul le Jonathan athi taiti nahet ham?” ati.
6 And the young man who was telling him said, It, so happened, that I was on Mount Gilboa, when lo! Saul, leaning upon his spear, and lo! the chariots and horsemen, hotly pursued him;
chuin mipan adonbut in, keima Gilboa molchungah kaga umkhan ahileh, hi ah chun Saul in a tengcha chu anaop phan chuleh agalmite sakol kangtalai holeh sakol them hon ahin delphah kon chao chu ahitai.
7 so he turned behind him, and saw me, —and cried out unto me, and I said, Behold me!
Chuin ama ahung kiheiyin keima eimu phat in amakom adin eikoutai. Chuin keiman kadong ngin, Eti kaki thopi ding ham Katie.
8 And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I said unto him, An Amalekite, am I.
Hichun aman eidonbut in, nang koi nahim eiti? Chuin keiman kaseipih in, keima Amalek mi kahi Katie.
9 And he said unto me, I pray thee, take thy stand by me, and put me to death, for the cramp hath seized me, —even for as long as my life shall be in me.
Hichun ama kahengah ataovin, hung inlang neihung that tan, ajeh chu keiman kanat nahi kathoh jou tapon hijeh chun kathinom tai, ati.
10 So I took my stand by him, and put him to death, for I perceived that he could not survive his fall, —so I took the crown that was on his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them in unto my lord, here.
“Hijeh chun keiman ama chu kathat tai,” tin Amalek mipa chun David komah aseitai, ajeh chu keiman kahet ahitai ama ahinjou tah lou ding chu. Hiti chun a Lallukhuh leh abanbul tom naho kahin lan nakom ah kahin lhut e ka Pakai, ati.
11 Then David took hold of his clothes, and rent them, —yea moreover, [so did] all the men who were with him.
Hitabong thusoh chu David leh amiten ajah doh phat un apon u abot eh un alung genthei lheh taovin ahi.
12 And they lamented aloud, and wept, and fasted until the evening, —for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Yahweh, and for the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
Hitichun amahon sun nilhum in Saul chule achapa Jonathan ding, Pakai sepai holeh Israel nam mite adin an angolun, akap un, pul adou un alunghem un ahi, ajeh chu hiche nikho a hi amaho chemjam a thisoh ahiuve.
13 And David said unto the young man who was telling him, Whence art thou? And he said, Son of a sojourner—an Amalekite, am I.
Hichun David in thu hinpo gollhang pa komah chun aseitan, “hoiya kon hung nahim ati?” chuin aman adonbut in, keima gamdang, jatdang Amalek mi, nagam uva khosa kahi, ati.
14 And David said unto him, —How wast thou not afraid to thrust forth thy hand, to destroy the Anointed of Yahweh?
Chuin David in adongin, “Epi tidan a nangman Pakai thaonu mikhat chu thading kichat na nanei lou hel ham? Atie.
15 So David called one of the young men, and said, —Go near—fall upon him. And he smote him, that he died.
Chuin David in amiho khat pen komah chun asei in, “that in!” ati, hichun mipan Amalek mipa chu achemjam in adot in athat tan ahi.
16 And David said unto him, Thy blood, be upon thine own head, —for, thine own mouth, hath testified against thee, saying, I myself, put to death the Anointed of Yahweh.
Chujou vin David in aseiyin, “Nang le nang themmo kichan nahi,” “ajeh chu nangman nakam tah a Pakai thaonu pachu kathat tai nati.”
17 Then chanted David this dirge, —over Saul and over Jonathan his son;
Hitichun David in Saul le Jonathan din ka-la asemin,
18 and he thought to teach the sons of Judah [the song of] the Bow, —lo! it is written in the Book of the Upright: —
Chuleh hichehi Judah te jong hilding ahitin thupeh anei in ahi. hiche la hi thalpi la tin akihen chuleh hichehi Jashar te lekhabu a kijih lut ahi.
19 The beauty of Israel! on thy high plumes—slain! How have fallen—the mighty!
Vo Israel naloupi nao le nakipa nao chu molsang chungah akithat tai! I ati leh galhang mihat hochu lhugam u hitam!
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 triumph.
Gath muna athu hohi seidoh hih un, Ashkelon lamlen dungah jong phongdoh hih un, achuti louva ahileh Philistines Chanute kipah untin, chule cheptan louho jong galjou bangnga nuidiu ahi.
21 Ye mountains in Gilboa! Be there neither dew nor rain upon you, nor fields of offerings, —for, there, were cast away, the shields of the mighty, The shield of Saul, unanointed with oil.
O nang Gilboa molsang, nachungah daitwi lhah da hen lang, gojong juhda hen, chule loujao va lou hon jong amuchiga hinsepdoh dahen. Ajeh chu mihatpa lumdal chu suhboh in aum tan; Saul lumdal chu thaotwi nulouva um ahitai.
22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan ne’er drew back, —and, the sword of Saul, ne’er returned, empty.
Jonathan kineosah chu nasatah ahin, chule Saul chemjam chun na loupi tah atongdoh in ahi. amahon agalmiteu thisan asou vin chule galhat, mi hangsan ho tahsa asun in ahi.
23 Saul and Jonathan, delightfully loving in their lives, even, in their death, were not divided, —Beyond eagles, were they swift, beyond lions, were they strong!
Iti ngailut le lungset um hitam Saul le Jonathan hi! Ahinlai sung lhon leh athigei lhon in aumkhom jing lhon in ahi. amanihi Muvanlai sanga gang joleh keipi bahkai sanga jong hatjo ahilhon in ahi.
24 Ye daughters of Israel! For Saul, weep ye, —who clothed you in crimson, [decked] with lovely things, who hung ornaments of gold on your apparel!
Vo Israel Chanute, Saul a dingin kap un, ajeh chu amahi ponsanthip deium mantamtah a nachun pao le sana a najem pao chu ahi.
25 How have fallen the mighty, in the midst of the battle! Jonathan, on thy high places, slain!
Iti galhat miho galmuna lhugam u hitam! munsang chungah Jonathan jong athisan akijam tai.
26 I am distressed for thee, my brother, Jonathan! Delightful to me, exceedingly, —Wonderful, was thy love to me, passing the love of women.
Jonathan kasopipa, nangjeh in kakap kap jeng e! ichan a kangailut nahi hitam! chule nangman neingailut nahi athuh lheh in, numei ngailut nasangin athuh jon ahi!
27 How have fallen the mighty, and perished the weapons of war!
Iti mihat ho lhugam a! galmanchah ho mangsoh a, amaho athia kijam chap jeng hitam? ati.
