2 Samuel 19
1 Someone told Joab that the king was crying and mourning because Absalom had died.
Joab koma chun, “Lengpa David chun Absalom pul adou lel in akap kap jeng tai,” tithu agalhung tan ahi.
2 All of David’s soldiers became sad. Instead of rejoicing about defeating [the soldiers who had fought with Absalom], they were sad because they heard that the king was mourning because Absalom [was dead].
Hijeh chun hiche nikhoa gal kijo chu mipi abonchauva din pul douna a sohdoh jo tan ahi; ijeh-inem itileh hiche nikho hin mipin abonchan ajauvin, “Lengpan achapa thi pul adou lel lheh jenge,” akititai.
3 The soldiers returned to the city quietly, like [SIM] soldiers do when they are ashamed because they ran away from battle.
Sepaite jong chu hiche nikho hin guhthim chan khopi sunga ahung kijot lut’uvin, gal alel niuva jachat thoh'a hung vah lut bangin ahung lut tauve.
4 The king covered his face [with his hands] and kept crying loudly, “O, my son Absalom! O, Absalom, my son! My son!”
Hichun lengpan amai akhut in akikhun, othongje jun lengpa akap jah jengin, “Vo Absalom, kachapa!” atin asam sam jeng’e.
5 Then Joab entered the room where the king was, and said to the king, “Today you have caused your soldiers to be ashamed! You have humiliated the men who saved your life and the lives of your sons and daughters and your ordinary wives and your slave wives!
Hichun Joab jong lengpa insunga ahung lut’in hitin aseitei, “Tuni hin nangman na sepaite jouse hinkho ahin, nangma hinkho ahin, nachate numei le pasal jouse hinkho jong chule najite leh nathaikem ho hinkho huhhing'a pang jouse mai najum sah tai ati.
6 [It seems that] you love those who hate you and [that] you hate those who love you. You have caused it to be clear today that your commanders and your officers are not at all important to you. I think that if Absalom were still alive and we were all dead today, you would be happy.
Ipijeh-inem itileh nangman nahot bolte nalungset jon, nalungset te joh nahot boljo tai. Ajeh chu tunin nangman kichen tah in naseidoh tan, gal lamkaiho leh sepaite hi nang dinga imacha louva pang danin nabol tan ahi. Ijeh-inem itileh tuni hin Absalom chu kihing hoi hen lang keiho hi kabonchauvin thigam jengu leng nangma nalung lhaijo ding ahi.
7 So, now go and thank your soldiers [for what they did]. Because I solemnly declare that if you do not do that, none of them will still be with you by tomorrow morning and that would be worse [for you] than all the disasters/troubles that you have experienced since you were a boy.”
Hijeh chun tun kipatdoh in lang pot doh pai pai jengin lang nasohte koma thu ngeitah tah in hung sei loiyin; ijeh-inem itileh Pakai mina kihahsel kahi, nangma nahung potdoh louva ahileh tujan jenga jong hi mihem khat’a khat chan jong nagepi louhel ding ahitai; chuti hen lang hileh, nachapa gollhangpa a kona nachunga hung lhung thilse hijat sanga jong hiche thilsoh ding hi khohjo ding ahi,” ati.
8 So the king got up and went and sat near the city gate. And all the people were told, “Hey, the king is sitting at the gate!” So they all came and gathered around him. Meanwhile, all the Israeli troops [who had been with Absalom] had returned to their homes.
Chuphat’in lengpa jong akipat doh jengin kelkot phunga atouna a chun atoutai. Hichun mipi abonchauva jah dingin aseipeh tai, “Vetan, lengpa khu kelkot phungbula atou tai,” atiuva ahileh; chuphat’in mipi ho chu abomnchauvin lengpa angsunga ahung kitol lutsoh tauve, Israel chate Absalom nungjui ho vang chu ama ama inlam cheh a ajam lut soh tauve.
9 Then all the people throughout the tribes of Israel started to quarrel among themselves. They said to each other, “King David rescued us from the people of Philistia and from our other enemies. But now he has fled from Absalom and left Israel!
Israel phung chujat lah a chun mipi abonchan aboilah lah jenguvin, hitin aseiyuve, “Lengpa David chun imelmateu khut’a kona jong inahuhhingu uva chule Philistines te khut akon a jong eina sochat sah u ahin, hinlah Absalom agin jeh a gamsunga kona jamdoh ahitai atiuve.
10 We appointed [MTY] Absalom to be our king, but he died in the battle [against David’s soldiers]. So (why does someone not try to bring King David back?/surely someone should try to bring King David back.)” [RHQ]
Chule tua ichunguva leng chang dinga thao inupau Absalom la galmu nin athitan. Chuti ahileh ibola David chu ileng diuva elekoukit dadiu ham? akitiuve.
11 King David [found out what the people were saying. So he] sent the two priests, Zadok and Abiathar, to say to the leaders of Judah, “The king says that he has heard that all the Israeli people [want him to be king again]. And he says, ‘(Why should you be the last ones to bring me back to my palace?/It is not right that you be the last ones to bring me back to my palace.) [RHQ]
Hichun David lengpan jong thempu te ni Zadok le Abiathar koma thu athot’in hitin aseiye, “Judah mi upate koma seipeh lhon in lang, ‘Lengpa koma Israel dang jouse thu hung lhungsoh ta, ipi dinga nang ho hi lengpa in'a puilut kit ding thuseiya anukhahpen a pang naiuvem?
12 You are my relatives; we have the same ancestor [IDM]. So (why should you be the last ones to bring me back?/you should certainly not be the last ones to bring me back.) [RHQ]’”
Nangho hi keima inkote mong mong, kaphe le kathisan nahiuve; ahileh ipi dinga nang ho lengpa puiding thusei nukhah a napan diu ham?’ ati tilhon'in.
13 And say to Amasa, “You are one of my relatives. I hope/desire that God strike me dead [IDM] if I do not appoint you to be, from now on, the commander of my army instead of Joab.”
Chujong leh Amasa kitipa koma jong nasei peh lhon ding, ‘Nang hi keima thisan le phe mong nahi lou ham? Tua lhah nang hi Joab panmun khela sepaite lamkaiya napan lou poupouva ahileh Pathenin abolnom nomin eibol hen, akhoh cheh jon jong eibol hen, kapan sah ding nahi,’ tin a seiye, nati lhon ding ahi,” ati.
14 [By sending that message to them, ] David convinced all the people of Judah [IDM] [that they should (be loyal to him/accept him as their king]). So they sent a message to the king, saying “We want you and all your officials to return here.”
Hichun Amasa chun Judah mite chu mihem khat sheh abahsah jengin alungu kitoh del’in, athu nun’in, hijeh chun amahon thu ahin thot paiyun, lengpa henga chun, “Nang le nasepaite nabonchauvin hung kile kit jeng uvin,” atiuvin ahi.
15 So the king [and his officials started back toward Jerusalem]. When they reached the Jordan [River], the people of Judah came there to Gilgal to meet the king, and to bring him across the river.
Hijeh chun lengpa jong Jerusalem ahung kile kit tan ahi. chule Jordan vadung ahung lhung tan ahile Judah jong chu lengpa lamtoa Jordan vadunga apui galkai din ahungun Gilgal ahung lhung taove.
16 Shimei, the man from the tribe of Benjamin, also came down quickly [to the river] with the people of Judah to meet King David.
Gera chapa Shimei kitipa Benjamin phunga mipajong chu Bahurim khoa pat’in David lengpa lamto din kino tah in Judah mite chutoh ahung kilhon suh tai.
17 There were 1,000 men from the tribe of Benjamin who came with him. And Ziba, who had been the servant of Saul, also hurried down to the Jordan [River], bringing 20 of his servants with him. They all came to the king,
Chule midang Benjamin phunga kon misangkhat, Saul insunga dia sepai jalamkai Ziba jaonan, chule Ziba chapate somlenga le asoh somni toh ahung thaovin Jordan vadung a lengpa kimupi din ahung lhailhao vin ahi.
18 and then they all [prepared to] take the king and all his family across the river, at the place where they could walk across it. They wanted to do whatever the king wanted them to do. As the king was about to cross the river, Shimei came to him and prostrated himself in front of the king.
Hitichun lengpa leh a ingsungmite chutoh Jordan vadung ahung galkai un, kithopi nathei chan in ejakai in amachu akitho piu vin ahi. Shimei dinga David khutona lengpan Jordan vadung ahin galkai ding toh lhonin, Shimei chu ama angsungah abohkhup in ahi.
19 He said to the king, “Your Majesty, please forgive me. Please do not keep thinking about the terrible thing that I did on the day that you left Jerusalem. Do not think about it any more.
Shimei chu ataovin, “kapakai lengpa, lungset tah in neingaidam in,” nangman Jerusalem nadalhah a nalhachan thil phalou tah tah kabol hochu heimil inlang nalungsungah jong umsah datan ati.
20 Because I know that I have sinned. Look, I have come today, the first one from the northern tribes to come here to greet you today, Your Majesty.”
keiman kahei echan a chonse kahi hitam. Hijeh achu tunia hilai mun hung kahi, Israel te jouse lah a dinga kapakai lengpa lamto masapen a.
21 But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said, “He cursed the one that Yahweh appointed [MTY] to be the king! So (should he not be executed for doing that?/he certainly should be executed for doing that.)” [RHQ]
Chuin Zeruiah chapa Abishai in asei in, Shimei hi thading ahi, ajeh chu aman leng thao kinupa hi agaosap ahi.
22 But David said, “You sons of Zeruiah, what am I going to do with you? (OR, you are not the ones who should decide [what to do to him]). [It is as though] you have become my enemies today. I know that I am the one who has now become the king of Israel, [so I say that] certainly no one [RHQ] in Israel should be executed today.”
Hichun David in ahinsei in, Zeruiah chapa kon nang nadoh beh ham ati. Epi dinga tonia nangma keima melma a pang gu nahim? Tonihi achaini ahipoi, ajeh chu tonia hi keima Avella Israel te leng kahikit ahitai ati.
23 Then the king said to Shimei, “I solemnly promise that I will not execute you.”
Hichun Shimei lamma akihei in, David akihahsellin, nahinkho hi kahing hoi ding ahi ati.
24 Then Miphibosheth, Saul’s grandson, came down [to the river] to greet the king. He had not washed his feet or trimmed his beard or washed his clothes, from the time that the king left Jerusalem until the day that he returned.
Chuin Saul tupa Mephibosheth chu Jerusalem ahunsuh in lengpa ahung kimupin ahi. lengpan Jerusalem adalhah nikho apet chun akeng, akhamul chule avon sop ding emacha akhoh sah tapon ahi.
25 When he arrived from Jerusalem to greet the king, the king said to him, “Mephibosheth, why did you not go with me?”
Chuin lengpan adonbut in, Mephibosheth epi dinga keima toh nahung khom lou ham? ati.
26 He replied, “Your Majesty, [you know that] I am crippled. [When I heard that you were leaving Jerusalem, ] I said to my servant [Ziba], ‘Put a saddle on my donkey in order that I can ride on it and go with the king.’ But he deceived me [and left without me].
Hichun Mephibosheth in adonbut in, kapakai kalengpa kasohpa Ziba in eijou lhep in ahi. keiman kaseipih in, ka sangan chu gongtoh in khuti leh lengpa toh kachi khom thei ding ahi kati ajeh chu nangman neihet banga keima hi elbai kahi.
27 And he lied to you about me. But, Your Majesty, you are [as wise] as God’s angel. So do whatever seems right to you.
keima kahungnom lou dan in Ziba in asei in eijoulhep e. ahin keiman kahe nai kapakai kalengpa hi Pathen vantil tabang nahin, hijeh chun nangman nagel a aphai nati ti chun bol tan ati.
28 All of my grandfather’s family expected/deserved that we would be executed. But [you did not execute me; ] you allowed me to eat food with you at your table! So I certainly do not have [RHQ] the right to request you for anything more.”
Chule keima le kainsung mite jouse hi athi dinga lom kahi bou ve ka pakai, hinlah hichu hilou vin nangman neijabol in nadokhangah an neineh khompi e! hiche kalvar a chu epi kathum nahlai ding ham?
29 The king replied, “You certainly do not need to say any more. I have decided that you and Ziba will divide [equally] the land [that belonged to your grandfather Saul].”
Nangman aphatai nati, chuin David in adonbut in, nangma le Ziba hi nagam sung chu kitoh chat a nakihop lhon ding in kagel lhatai.
30 Mephibosheth replied to the king, “Your Majesty, [I am content that] you have returned safely. So allow him to take all the land.”
Chuin Mephibosheth in aseiyin, amachan ding jouse chu petan ati. Nangma damsella nahung kile kit hi keidin aphaset tai kapakai le kalengpa ati.
31 Barzillai, the man from [the] Gilead [region], had come down to the Jordan [River] from [his town of] Rogelim, to escort the king across the river.
Gilead mi Barzillai chu Rogelim akon ahungsuh in Jordan vadungah lengpa chu ahung kimupin ahi.
32 Barzillai was a very old man, 80 years old. He was a very wealthy man, and he had provided food for the king [and his soldiers] while they were at Mahanaim.
Amahi akum ahan tan midam thei tah kum somget ahi tan ahi. chule amahi ahi lengpa Mahanaim aumlai a nehding pipa chu.
33 The king said to Barzillai, “Come with me to Jerusalem, and I will take care of you.”
Chuin lengpan Barzillai kommah asei in hung inlang keitoh Jerusalem ah hung cheng tan. keiman hilaimun ah chu nangma kavetsui ding nahi ati.
34 But Barzillai replied, “I certainly do not have [RHQ] many more years to live. So (why should I go with you to Jerusalem?/there is certainly no reason for me to go with you to Jerusalem.) [RHQ]
Hichun Barzillai in ahin donbut in, ahipoi keima Jerusalem chan hung ding in kateh var tai ati.
35 I am now 80 years old. I do not [RHQ] know what is enjoyable and what is not enjoyable. I cannot [RHQ] enjoy what I eat and what I drink. I cannot [RHQ] hear the voices of men and women as they sing. So (why should I be another burden to you?/I do not want to be another burden to you.) [RHQ]
Tun keima kum somget kahitan, chule keiman emacha kanupsah pithei aumtapoi. Ju le an jeng jong atui tapon, chule lasa them ho lasah jong kangai nom tapoi. Keimahi kapakai lengpa dia alungkham nabep kahi ding ahitai.
36 I will cross the Jordan [River] with you and go a little further, and that will be all the reward that I need [for helping you].
lengpa toh Jordan lui galkai ding bou chu kangaichat thupi pen ahijoi.
37 Then please allow me to return to my home, because that is where I want to die, near my parents’ grave. But here is [my son] Chimham. Your Majesty, allow him to go with you [and serve you], and do for him whatever seems good to you!”
Chuteng le keima athidia kanu le kapa kivuina gamsunga kakinung le ding ahi. ahin hichehi nasohpa Kimham kachapa ahi. amahi kapakai kalengpa toh kilhon henlang chule nangman napeh nom chan chu aman kisan hen, ati.
38 The king replied, “Okay, he will cross [the river] with me, and I will do for him whatever seems good to you. And I will do for you whatever you want me to do.”
Chuin lengpa jong anom tan aphai, Kimham toh kachikhom ding chule aman adei nalam chan a kakithopi ding chule adei angai chan kabolpih ding ahi ati.
39 Then King David and all the others crossed the Jordan [River]. He kissed Barzillai and [asked God to] bless him. Then Barzillai returned to his home.
Hiti chun mipi jouse chun lengpa toh Jordan chu agalkai tao vin ahi. chuin David in Barzillai chu phatthei aboh a achop jou vin, Barzillai chu a inlam akile kit tan ahi.
40 [After they crossed the river, ] Chimham went with the king, and all the army of Judah and half the army of the other Israeli tribes escorted/accompanied the king to Gilgal.
Chuin lengpan Kimham alhonpin Gilgal akhokel tan ahi. Judah sepai jouse le Israel seapi kehkhat in lampi ah analam touvin ahi.
41 Then all the soldiers from the other Israeli tribes came to the king and said, “(Why is it that our relatives, the men from Judah, took you away from us and wanted to be the only ones to escort you and your family across the river, along with all your men?/It is not right that our relatives, the men from Judah, took you away from us and wanted to be the only ones to escort you and your family across the river, along with all your men.) [RHQ] [Why did you not request us to do that]?” [RHQ]
Ahin Israel mite jouse chu lengpa chungah akiphin taovin, Judah miten lengpa chu natom chahkheh un keihon nang nahin namite ahin Jordan nahung galkai nadiu vin kithopi nading phat eipipouve atiu vin ahi.
42 The soldiers from Judah replied, “We did it because the king is from Judah. So (why are you angry about that?/you should not be angry about that.) [RHQ] The king has never paid for our food, and he has never given us any gifts.”
CHuin Judah miten adonbut un, lengpa hi keiho son chilhah mong ahi. epi dinga hichehin nasuh lunghang uham? Keihon lengpa akon neh ding ahilou leh thilphachom ema kakisan pouve atiu vin ahi.
43 The men of the other Israeli tribes replied, “[There are ten tribes in Israel, and only one in Judah. So] it is ten times more right for us to say that David [is our king] than it is for you to say that. So why are you despising us [RHQ]? We were certainly [RHQ] the first ones to talk about bringing David back [to Jerusalem to be our king again].” But the men of Judah spoke more harshly than the men from the other tribes of Israel did.
Ahin adanghon ahin donbut un Israel sungah phung soma um nalai e atiuve. Hijeh chun keihon lengpa chungah somvei jen nangho bol bangin thaneina kanei uve ati. Hitabang abol nadinga hi epi tha nanei uham? Keihohi kahi lou uham amasapen a amahi leng hisah kit ute tichu? Kinel nachu anung ama ah achijom jing in chule Juda mite chu Israel mite sangin aham ngaimo lheh un ahi.
