2 Samuel 1
1 Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;
Sawl a due hnukkhu, Devit teh Amaleknaw a theinae koehoi a ban teh, Ziklag kho hnin hni touh ao.
2 It came even to pass on the third day, that behold, 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 to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.
A hnin thum hnin vah tami buet touh amae hni a ravei teh a lû dawk vaiphu a kâphuen nalaihoi a tho. Devit koe a pha navah talai dawk a tabo.
3 And David said to him, From whence comest thou? And he said to him, Out of the camp of Israel have I escaped.
Devit ni vah nâ lahoi maw na tho telah a pacei. Ahni ni Isarelnaw e tumpupnae koehoi ka yawng telah ati.
4 And David said to him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, That the people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen, and are dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.
Devit ni hetheh bang e hno nama, dei haw atipouh. Ahni ni Isarelnaw teh, tarantuknae hmuen koehoi taminaw a yawng awh teh, tami moikapap a due. Sawl hoi a capa Jonathan hai a due toe telah bout a dei pouh.
5 And David said to the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
Devit ni kadeikung thoundoun koe, bangtelah hoi maw Sawl hoi a capa Jonathan a due tie na panue telah atipouh.
6 And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
Hote thoundoun ni, kai teh Gilead mon dawk ka pha navah, Sawl ni a tahroe a vaiteh leng hoi marangransanaw ni rek a pâlei awh.
7 And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called to me. And I answered, Here [am] I.
Sawl ni hnukkhu lah a khet navah kai hah na hmu teh na kaw.
8 And he said to me, Who [art] thou? And I answered him, I [am] an Amalekite.
Kai ni vah, ka o ka ti pouh. Nang hah apimaw telah na pacei. Kai teh, Amalek tami doeh telah bout ka ti pouh.
9 He said to me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life [is] yet whole in me.
Sawl ni kai koe tho nateh, kai na thet leih, kai ka due thai hoeh dawkvah, puenghoi patawnae ka khang telah ati e patetlah.
10 So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he had fallen: and I took the crown that [was] upon his head, and the bracelet that [was] on his arm, and have brought them hither to my lord.
Ahni koe ka kangdue teh ka thei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hottelah a rawp toung dawkvah hring mahoeh toe tie ka panue. A lû dawk kâmuk e bawilakhung hoi a kut dawk a buet e cawce hah ka rading pouh teh, ka bawipa koevah ka sin telah a dei.
11 Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that [were] with him:
Devit ni ahni hah a ravei, hot patetlah a taminaw ni lengkaleng a sak van awh.
12 And they mourned and wept, and fasted until evening, for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they had fallen by the sword.
Sawl hoi a capa Jonathan Bawipa e taminaw hoi Isarel imthungnaw ni, tahloi hoi a due dawkvah ahni hanlah tangmin totouh a khuika awh teh rawca a hai awh.
13 And David said to the young man that told him, Whence [art] thou? And he answered, I [am] the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.
Hote kamthang ka dei e thoundoun koe Devit ni, nang teh nâ lahoi maw na tho telah a pacei. Kai teh Jentel miphun Amelek tami doeh telah a dei.
14 And David said to him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thy hand to destroy the LORD'S anointed?
Devit ni ahni koe, BAWIPA ni satui awi e thei hanelah bangkong maw na kut na pho.
15 And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, [and] fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.
Hahoi, Devit ni thoundoun buet touh a kaw teh, ahni hah thet lawih atipouh e patetlah thoundoun teh a thei.
16 And David said to him, Thy blood [be] upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD'S anointed.
Devit ni na thipaling teh nama e na lû van bawt naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nama e na pahni roeroe hoi BAWIPA satui awi lah kaawm e ka thei na ti telah atipouh.
17 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul, and over Jonathan his son:
Devit ni Sawl hoi Jonathan hah a khui.
18 (Also he bade them teach the children of Judah [the use of] the bow: behold, [it is] written in the book of Jasher.)
Judahnaw koe a cangkhai hane lilava la tie hateh, Jashar e cauk dawk thut e la hah doeh.
19 The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
Isarel na bawilennae, na hmuen rasang dawk, duenae na khang toe. Tami athakaawme taminaw hai a due awh toe.
20 Tell [it] not in Gath, publish [it] not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
Gath vah pathang awh hanh. Askelon khopui e lam dawk thaisak awh hanh. Filistin canunaw a lunghawi awh langvaih. Vuensom ka a hoeh e napuinaw ni a lunghawi awh langvaih tie ngaihri han ao.
21 Ye mountains of Gilboa, [let there be] no dew, neither rain upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, [as though he had] not [been] anointed with oil.
Oe Gilboa monnaw, nangmae lathueng tadamtui hoi khotui bawt hanh naseh. Law ni thueng kawi e a pawhik tâcawt sak hanh naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote hmuen koe athakaawme ni a sin e saiphei, Sawl ni a sin e bahling, satui hoi hluk hoe e saiphei patetlah tâkhawng awh.
22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.
Thei e naw e thi koehoi, thaonae athâw koehoi, Jonathan e pala teh hnuklah bout ban hoeh. Sawl e tahloi hai ayawm lah ban hoeh.
23 Saul and Jonathan [were] lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
Sawl hoi Jonathan teh a hringnae ngai a tho, a due roi nahai kâkapek roi hoeh. Mataw hlak a hue a rang teh sendek hlak a tha ao roi.
24 Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with [other] delights, who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
Oe Isarel canunaw Sawl hah khui awh haw. Ngai kaawm e hni paling ka khohnat sak e, sui hoi talung aphu kaawm e hoi na ka pathoupkung doeh.
25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan [thou wast] slain in thy high places.
Taran kâtuknae koe athakaawme taminaw a due awh toe. Oe Jonathan nange karasangpoung e a hmuennaw dawk nang teh na due toe khe.
26 I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been to me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.
Ka nawngha Jonathan nang dawk ka kângairu. Nang teh ka hui kahawipoung lah na o teh, kai na lungpatawnae teh kângairu, napuinaw lungpataw e a cei takhai.
27 How have the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
Thakaawmnaw hai a due awh toe. Tarantuknae senehmaicanaw hoi koung a kahma toe.
