2 Samuel 19
1 Joab koma chun, “Lengpa David chun Absalom pul adou lel in akap kap jeng tai,” tithu agalhung tan ahi.
Now it was reported to Joab that the king was weeping and mourning for his son.
2 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.
And so the victory on that day was turned into mourning for all the people. For the people heard it said on that day, “The king is grieving over his son.”
3 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.
And the people declined to enter the city on that day, in the manner that the people were accustomed to decline if they had turned and fled from battle.
4 Hichun lengpan amai akhut in akikhun, othongje jun lengpa akap jah jengin, “Vo Absalom, kachapa!” atin asam sam jeng’e.
And the king covered his head, and he was crying out in a great voice: “My son, Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son!”
5 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.
Therefore, Joab, entering to the king in the house, said: “Today you have shamed the faces of all your servants, who saved your life, and the lives of your sons and your daughters, and the lives of your wives, and the lives of your concubines.
6 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.
You love those who hate you, and you hate those who love you. And you have revealed this day that you have no concern for your leaders and for your servants. And truly, I know now that if Absalom had lived, and if we all had been killed, then it would have pleased you.
7 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.
Now then, rise up and go out, and speak so as to make amends to your servants. For I swear to you by the Lord that if you will not go forth, not even one person will be left with you this night. And this will be worse for you than all the evils that have come to you, from your youth even to the present.”
8 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.
Therefore, the king rose up, and he sat at the gate. And it was announced to all the people that the king was sitting at the gate. And the entire multitude went before the king. But Israel fled to their own tents.
9 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.
And all the people were conflicted, in all the tribes of Israel, saying: “The king has freed us from the hand of our enemies. He himself saved us from the hand of the Philistines. But now he flees from the land for the sake of Absalom.
10 Chule tua ichunguva leng chang dinga thao inupau Absalom la galmu nin athitan. Chuti ahileh ibola David chu ileng diuva elekoukit dadiu ham? akitiuve.
But Absalom, whom we anointed over us, has died in the war. How long will you be silent, and not lead back the king?”
11 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?
Then truly, king David sent to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, saying: “Speak to those greater by birth of Judah, saying: ‘Why have you arrived last to lead back the king into his house? (For the talk in all of Israel had reached the king in his house.)
12 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.
You are my brothers; you are my bone and my flesh. Why are you the last to lead back the king?’
13 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.
And say to Amasa: ‘Are you not my bone and my flesh? May God do these things, and may he add these other things, if you will not be the leader of the military in my sight, for all time, in the place of Joab.’”
14 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.
And he inclined the heart of all the men of Judah, as if one man. And they sent to the king, saying, “Return, you and all your servants.”
15 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.
And the king returned. And he went as far as the Jordan, and all of Judah went as far as Gilgal, so as to meet the king, and to lead him across the Jordan.
16 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.
And Shimei, the son of Gera, the son of Benjamin, from Bahurim, hurried and descended with the men of Judah to meet king David,
17 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.
with one thousand men from Benjamin, and with Ziba, the servant from the house of Saul. And with him were his fifteen sons and twenty servants. And going into the Jordan,
18 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.
they crossed the fords before the king, so that they might lead across the house of the king, and might act in accord with his order. Then, Shimei, the son of Gera, prostrating himself before the king after he had now gone across the Jordan,
19 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.
said to him: “May you not impute to me, my lord, the iniquity, nor call to mind the injuries, of your servant in the day that you, my lord the king, departed from Jerusalem. And may you not store it up in your heart, O king.
20 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.
For as your servant, I acknowledge my sin. And for this reason, today, I arrive as the first from all the house of Joseph, and I descend to meet my lord the king.”
21 Chuin Zeruiah chapa Abishai in asei in, Shimei hi thading ahi, ajeh chu aman leng thao kinupa hi agaosap ahi.
Yet truly, Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, responding, said, “Should not Shimei, because of these words, be killed, since he cursed the Christ of the Lord?”
22 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.
And David said: “What is it to me and to all of you, O sons of Zeruiah? Why are you acting toward me this day like Satan? Why should any man be put to death on this day in Israel? Or do you not know that today I have been made king over Israel?”
23 Hichun Shimei lamma akihei in, David akihahsellin, nahinkho hi kahing hoi ding ahi ati.
And the king said to Shimei, “You shall not die.” And he swore to him.
24 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.
And Mephibosheth, the son of Saul, descended to meet the king, with unwashed feet and uncut beard. And he had not washed his garments from the day that the king had departed, until the day of his return in peace.
25 Chuin lengpan adonbut in, Mephibosheth epi dinga keima toh nahung khom lou ham? ati.
And when he had met the king at Jerusalem, the king said to him, “Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?”
26 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.
And in response, he said: “My lord the king, my servant spurned me. And I, your servant, spoke to him so that he might saddle a donkey for me, and I might climb upon it and go with the king. For I, your servant, am lame.
27 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.
Moreover, he also accused me, your servant, to you, my lord the king. But you, my lord the king, are like an Angel of God. Do whatever is pleasing to you.
28 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?
For my father’s house was deserving of nothing but death before my lord the king. Yet you have placed me, your servant, among the guests of your table. Therefore, what just complaint might I have? Or what else can I cry out to the king?”
29 Nangman aphatai nati, chuin David in adonbut in, nangma le Ziba hi nagam sung chu kitoh chat a nakihop lhon ding in kagel lhatai.
Then the king said to him: “Why are you still speaking? What I have spoken is fixed. You and Ziba shall divide the possessions.”
30 Chuin Mephibosheth in aseiyin, amachan ding jouse chu petan ati. Nangma damsella nahung kile kit hi keidin aphaset tai kapakai le kalengpa ati.
And Mephibosheth responded to the king, “But now let him take it all, since my lord the king has been returned peacefully into his own house.”
31 Gilead mi Barzillai chu Rogelim akon ahungsuh in Jordan vadungah lengpa chu ahung kimupin ahi.
Likewise, Barzillai the Gileadite, descending from Rogelim, led the king across the Jordan, having prepared also to follow him beyond the river.
32 Amahi akum ahan tan midam thei tah kum somget ahi tan ahi. chule amahi ahi lengpa Mahanaim aumlai a nehding pipa chu.
Now Barzillai the Gileadite was very old, that is, eighty years old. And he provided the king with sustenance when he was staying at the encampment. For indeed, he was an exceedingly rich man.
33 Chuin lengpan Barzillai kommah asei in hung inlang keitoh Jerusalem ah hung cheng tan. keiman hilaimun ah chu nangma kavetsui ding nahi ati.
And so the king said to Barzillai, “Come with me, so that you may rest securely with me in Jerusalem.”
34 Hichun Barzillai in ahin donbut in, ahipoi keima Jerusalem chan hung ding in kateh var tai ati.
And Barzillai said to the king: “How many days remain in the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
35 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.
Today I am eighty years old. Are my senses quick to discern sweet and bitter? Or is food and drink able to delight your servant? Or can I still hear the voice of men and women singers? Why should your servant be a burden to my lord the king?
36 lengpa toh Jordan lui galkai ding bou chu kangaichat thupi pen ahijoi.
I, your servant, shall proceed a little ways from the Jordan with you. I am not in need of this recompense.
37 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.
But I beg you that I, your servant, may be returned and may die in my own city, and may be buried beside the sepulcher of my father and my mother. But there is your servant Chimham; let him go with you, my lord the king. And do for him whatever seems good to you.”
38 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.
And so the king said to him: “Let Chimham cross over with me, and I will do for him whatever will be pleasing to you. And all that you ask of me, you shall obtain.”
39 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.
And when the entire people and the king had crossed over the Jordan, the king kissed Barzillai, and he blessed him. And he returned to his own place.
40 Chuin lengpan Kimham alhonpin Gilgal akhokel tan ahi. Judah sepai jouse le Israel seapi kehkhat in lampi ah analam touvin ahi.
Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went with him. Now all the people of Judah had led the king across, but only as much as one half part of the people of Israel were there.
41 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.
And so, all the men of Israel, running to the king, said to him: “Why have our brothers, the men of Judah, stolen you away. And why have they led the king and his house across the Jordan, and all the men of David with him?”
42 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.
And all the men of Judah responded to the men of Israel: “Because the king is nearer to me. Why are you angry over this matter? Have we eaten anything belonging to the king, or have any gifts been given to us?”
43 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.
And the men of Israel responded to the men of Judah, and said: “I have the greater amount, ten parts, with the king, and so David belongs to me more so than to you. Why have you caused me injury, and why was it not announced to me first, so that I might lead back my king?” But the men of Judah answered more firmly than the men of Israel.
