2 Samuel 20
1 And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name [was] Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjaminite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel.
Benjamin miphun Bikhri capa a min teh Sheba tie taran ka thaw e buet touh ao. Ahni ni mongka a ueng teh Oe Isarel miphun maimouh teh Devit koevah, buet touh hai coe hane tawn awh hoeh. Jesi capa koevah râw coe hane kamcu awh hoeh. Isarelnaw namamae rim koe lengkaleng cet awh telah atipouh.
2 So every man of Israel, withdrawing from David, followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah adhered to their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.
Isarelnaw ni Devit hnukkâbang awh hoeh toe. Bikhri capa Sheba hnuk a kâbang awh. Judahnaw ni Jordan hoi Jerusalem kho totouh siangpahrang koe a kâhnai awh.
3 And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women [his] concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in custody, and fed them, but went not in to them. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.
Devit ni Jerusalem ama im a pha toteh, siangpahrang ni a yudo 10 touh im ka ring hanelah a hruek e hah a ceikhai teh, a paung. A canei kapoenaw ni canei kawi a poe awh ei teh, amamouh koe kâen awh hoeh. A due hnin totouh a paung awh teh lahmainaw patetlah ao awh.
4 Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble to me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present.
Siangpahrang ni Amasa koevah, hnin thum touh thung Judahnaw hah kamkhueng sak nateh, ahnimouh hoi rei na tho han telah atipouh.
5 So Amasa went to assemble [the men of] Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.
Judahnaw kamkhueng sak hanelah Amasa teh a cei. Hatei, Devit teh a hnin a khoe e hlak hnuk a teng.
6 And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than [did] Absalom: take thou thy lord's servants, and pursue him, lest he get for himself fortified cities, and escape us.
Devit ni Abishai koevah Bikhri capa Sheba ni Absalom hlak hai runae na poe han, na bawipa e sannaw kaw nateh ahnimanaw pâlei awh telah hoehpawiteh, ahni teh kacakpounge kho buetbuet touh kâen vaiteh, maimae kut dawk hoi a hlout han doeh telah Abishai koe a dei pouh.
7 And there went out after him Joab's men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
Joab e taminaw Kereth tami, Phelet taminaw hoi tami a thakasainaw ni a hnukkâbang awh. Jerusalem hoi Bikhri capa Sheba pâlei hanelah a kamthaw awh.
8 When they [were] at the great stone which [is] in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab's garment that he had put on was girded to him, and upon it a girdle [with] a sword fastened upon his loins in its sheath; and as he went forth it fell out.
Gideon kho dawk e lungsong onae koe a pha awh toteh, Amasa ni ahnimanaw a dawn. Joab ni puengcang a kâmahrawk teh a keng dawk taisawm hoi tahloi a neng. A cei nalaihoi tahloi a yut teh a bo.
9 And Joab said to Amasa, [Art] thou in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him.
Joab ni Amasa koevah, ka nawngha na dam ou telah ati. Joab ni a kâsak teh a paco han a dei teh a pâkhamuen a rang lae kut hoi a kuet.
10 But Amasa took no heed to the sword that [was] in Joab's hand: so he smote him in the fifth [rib], and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.
Joab ni avoilae kut dawk sarai a sin e hah Amasa ni a pouk hoeh dawkvah, a von dawk a thut pouh teh a ruen hah talai dawk a bo. Bout thun hoeh toe. Amasa teh a due. Joab hoi a nawngha Abishai ni Bikhri capa Sheba hah a pâlei roi.
11 And one of Joab's men stood by him, and said, He that favoreth Joab, and he that [is] for David, [let him go] after Joab.
Ahni e a teng Joab e tami buet touh a kangdue teh, Joab hoi Devit koelah ka kampang e pueng ni Joab heh pou ring naseh telah a ti.
12 And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still.
Amasa teh lam dawkvah a thi hoi pukkâkaawk. Ka tho pueng ni a hmu awh teh a kangdue awh. Joab e tami ni taminaw a kangdue e a hmu awh toteh, Amasa e a ro hah lam dawk hoi a la awh teh, kahrawng vah a puen awh teh hni hoi a ramuk awh.
13 When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
Haw e lam dawk hoi a puen awh hnukkhu, Bikhri capa Sheba pâlei hanelah taminaw ni, Joab e hnuk a kâbang awh.
14 And he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, and to Beth-maachah, and all the Berites: and they were assembled, and went also after him.
Joab ni Bethmaakha ram Abel kho totouh Isarel ram pueng koe a cei. Bere taminaw koehai a cei teh taminaw a pâkhueng teh, Sheba hnuk a kâbang awh.
15 And they came and besieged him in Abel of Beth-maachah, and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the trench: and all the people that [were] with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.
Sheba a luennae Bethmaakha ram Abel kho hah a kalup awh. A kho teng vah talai avoivang lah a paten awh. Rapan raphoe hanelah thouk a phom awh.
16 Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, to Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak with thee.
Hatnavah, a lungkaang e napui buet touh ni khothung hoi a hram teh a dei e teh, thai awh haw, thai awh. Kai ni Joab hoi lawk ka dei thai nahanelah tho loe telah Joab koe dei pouh awh telah a ti.
17 And when he was come near to her, the woman said, [Art] thou Joab? And he answered, I [am he]. Then she said to him, Hear the words of thy handmaid. And he answered, I do hear.
Joab rek a hnai teh napui ni nang hah Joab vai khe, telah a pacei. Oe kai doeh atipouh. Napui ni kaie lawk thai haw atipouh navah, Joab ni ka thai doeh telah atipouh.
18 Then she spoke, saying, They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They will surely ask [counsel] at Abel: and so they ended [the matter].
Ayan teh Abel kho vah kho a khang awh han rah, ouk ati awh. Hottelah laidei pou a tâtueng awh.
19 I [am one of them that are] peaceable [and] faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?
Kai teh Isarelnaw dawk roumnae ka ngai e hoi yuemkamcu e lah ka o. Nang teh Isarel kho koung raphoe hanelah na kâcai. Bangkongmaw BAWIPA e râw hah he pahma hanelah na kâcai telah a dei.
20 And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.
Joab ni he pâhma hane, raphoe hane kâcainae awm hoeh bo.
21 The matter [is] not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, [even] against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said to Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.
Hottelah nahoeh bo, Ephraim mon dawk e Bikhri capa a min teh Sheba ni amae siangpahrang hah a taran toe. Ahni hah na poe awh haw. Na poe awh pawiteh kho dawk hoi ka tâco han telah ati. Napui ni Joab koevah, khenhaw! a lû teh rapan hloilah ka tâkhawng han telah a ti.
22 Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast [it] out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.
Hote napui teh a lungang e patetlah taminaw koe a cei hnukkhu, Bikhri capa Sheba lû a tâtueng awh teh Joab koelah alawilah a tâkhawng pouh awh. Joab ni mongka a ueng teh taminaw teh hote kho dawk hoi amamouh onae koe bout a ban awh. Hahoi, Joab teh Jerusalem siangpahrang koe a ban.
23 Now Joab [was] over all the host of Israel: and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was] over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites:
Joab teh Isarel ransanaw e ransabawi lah ao. Jehoiada capa Benaiah teh Kereth tami hoi Pelet taminaw kaukkung lah ao.
24 And Adoram [was] over the tribute: and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud [was] recorder:
Adoram teh tamuk thaw ka kuen e lah ao. Ahilud capa Jehoshaphat teh kamthang kathutkung lah ao.
25 And Sheva [was] scribe: and Zadok and Abiathar [were] the priests:
Sheva teh ca kathunkung lah ao. Zadok hoi Abiathar teh vaihma lah ao.
26 And Ira also the Jairite was a chief ruler about David.
Jair tami teh Devit e ram kaukkung bawi lah ao.
