2 Samuel 19
1 Siangpahrang loe Absalom pongah, palungset moe, qah, tiah Joab khaeah thuih pae o.
And it was told Joab, that the king wept and mourned for his son:
2 To na niah misa pazawkhaih to oh, toe siangpahrang loe a capa pongah palungset moe, qah, tiah kaminawk mah thaih o naah, kaminawk boih han palungsethaih niah oh lat.
And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people: for the people heard say that day: The king grieveth for his son.
3 Misatuk naah kacawn kaminawk mah azathaih hoiah vangpui thungah akun o baktih toengah, kaminawk mah doeh to na niah vangpui thungah tamquta hoiah akun o duem.
And the people shunned the going into the city that day as a people would do that hath turned their backs, and fled away from the battle.
4 Siangpahrang loe mikhmai khuk khoep moe, tha hoiah qah; Aw ka capa Absalom, Aw Absalom, ka capa, ka capa, tiah qah.
And the king covered his head, and cried with a loud voice: O my son Absalom, O Absalom my son, O my son.
5 To naah Joab loe siangpahrang imthung ah akun moe, Vaihniah na canu, na capanawk ih hinghaih, na zu, na zulanawk ih hinghaih pahlong kaminawk hoi na tamnanawk ih mikhmai to azat na pawsak boeh;
Then Joab going into the house to the king, said: Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, that have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons, and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines.
6 misanawk to na palung moe, nampuinawk to na hnukma. Nangmah ih misatuh angraengnawk hoi anih ih tamnanawk to tiah doeh na sah ai, tiah vaihniah nam tuengsak boeh; vaihniah Absalom to hing moe, kaicae boih ka duek o nahaeloe, palung nang hoe tih, tiah ka hnuk.
Thou lovest them that hate thee, and thou hatest them that love thee: and thou hast shewn this day that thou carest not for thy nobles, nor for thy servants: and I now plainly perceive that if Absalom had lived, and all we had been slain, then it would have pleased thee.
7 To pongah, Angthawk loe, nangmah ih kaminawk khaeah thapaekhaih lok to thui ah. Angthawk moe, na caeh ai nahaeloe, vaiduem ah nang khaeah kami maeto doeh om mak ai boeh, tiah Angraeng ih ahmin hoiah lokkamhaih ka sak; to hmuen loe nang hanah nawkta nathuem hoi vaihni ni khoek to, na tongh ih raihaihnawk boih pongah sae kue tih, tiah a naa.
Now therefore arise, and go out, and speak to the satisfaction of thy servants: for I swear to thee by the Lord, that if thou wilt not go forth, there will not tarry with thee so much as one this night: and that will be worse to thee, than all the evils that have befallen thee from thy youth until now.
8 To pongah siangpahrang loe angthawk moe, khongkha taengah anghnut. Khongkha taengah siangpahrang anghnut, tiah kaminawk mah panoek o naah, kaminawk boih anih hmaa ah angzoh o. Israel kaminawk loe angmacae im ah cawnh o boih boeh.
Then the king arose and sat in the gate: and it was told to all the people that the king sat in the gate: and all the people came before the king, but Israel fled to their own dwellings.
9 Israel acaeng boih salakah, kaminawk loe maeto hoi maeto lok angaek o; siangpahrang mah aicae misa ban thung hoiah pahlong; anih mah ni Philistin kaminawk ban thung hoiah aicae to pahlong; toe Absalom pongah anih mah vaihi prae to cawnhtaak boeh.
And all the people were at strife in all the tribes of Israel, saying: The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines: and now he is fled out of the land for Absalom.
10 Aicae ukkung ah a suek o ih Absalom loe, misatuk naah duek ving boeh pongah, tikhoe vaihi David to siangpahrang ah lak let hanah lok na thui o ai loe? tiah thuih o.
But Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in the battle: how long are you silent, and bring not back the king?
11 David siangpahrang mah angmah im ah oh moe, to lok to thaih naah, qaima Zadok hoi Abiathar khaeah kami patoeh moe, Judah kacoehtanawk khaeah, Tipongah siangpahrang angmah im ah thak let hanah kapoek hnukkhuem koek acaeng ah na oh o loe?
And king David sent to Sadoc, and Abiathar the priests, saying: Speak to the ancients of Juda, saying: Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house? (For the talk of all Israel was come to the king in his house.)
12 Nangcae loe kai ih nawkamya ah na oh o moe, ka thii ka ngan ah na oh o; tipongah siangpahrang angmah im ah amlaem haih let hanah, hnukkhuem koekah na oh o loe?
You are my brethren, you are my bone, and my flesh, why are you the last to bring back the king?
13 Amasa khaeah thui pae oh; Nang loe ka thii ka ngan ah na om ai maw? Vaihi hoi kamtong Joab zuengah kai ih misatuh zaehoikung angraeng ah na om ai nahaeloe, Sithaw mah ka nuiah lokcaek nasoe, kanung parai ah sah nasoe, tiah a thuih, tiah thui pae oh, tiah a naa.
And say ye to Amasa: Art not thou my bone, and my flesh? So do God to me and add more, if thou be not the chief captain of the army before me always in the place of Joab.
14 Anih mah Judah kaminawk ih palung to kami maeto ih palungthin baktiah pazawk boih. To pongah nihcae mah siangpahrang khaeah, Nang loe na tamnanawk hoi nawnto amlaem o lai ah, tiah a naa o.
And be inclined the heart of all the men of Juda, as it were of one man: and they sent to the king, saying: Return thou, and all thy servants.
15 To pongah siangpahrang loe amlaem moe, Jordan vapui khoek to caeh. Judah kaminawk loe, siangpahrang tongh hanah caeh o moe, Jordan vapui yaeh ah thak hanah Gilgal vangpui ah caeh o.
And the king returned and came as far as the Jordan, and all Juda came as far as Galgal to meet the king, and to bring him over the Jordan.
16 Bahurim ih Benjamin kami Gera capa Shimei loe, David siangpahrang hnuk hanah Judah kaminawk hoi nawnto angzoh o tathuk.
And Semei the son of Gera the son of Jemini of Bahurim, made haste and went down with the men of Juda to meet king David,
17 Anih loe Benjamin ih kami sangto, Saul imthung takoh ih tamna Ziba ih caa hatlai pangato hoi anih ih tamna pumphaeto hoiah nawnto caeh moe, siangpahrang hmaa ah Jordan vapui to karangah angkat o.
With a thousand men of Benjamin, and Siba the servant of the house of Saul: and his fifteen sons, and twenty servants were with him: and going over the Jordan,
18 Siangpahrang ih imthung takoh kaminawk to lak moe, a koeh ih hmuen sak pae hanah, palong hoiah caeh o. Jordan vapui to angkat o pacoengah, Gera capa Shimei loe siangpahrang hmaa ah akuep;
They passed the fords before the king, that they might help over the king’s household, and do according to his commandment. And Semei the son of Gera falling down before the king, when he was come over the Jordan,
19 Siangpahrang khaeah, Ka angraeng, ka zaehaih na net hmah; ka angraeng siangpahrang, Jerusalem na tacawt taak na niah, na tamna kai mah sak ih hmuen to pakuem hmah loe, palung thungah doeh suem poe hmah.
Said to him: Impute not to me, my lord, the iniquity, nor remember the injuries of thy servant on the day that thou, my lord, the king, wentest out of Jerusalem, nor lay it up in thy heart, O king.
20 Na tamna kai loe hmuen sakpazae moeng boeh, tiah ka panoek; to pongah khenah, vaihniah Joseph imthung takoh boih thungah, ka angraeng siangpahrang hnuk hanah kang zoh hmaloe, tiah a naa.
For I thy servant acknowledge my sin: and therefore I am come this day the first of all the house of Joseph, and am come down to meet my lord the king.
21 Toe Zeruiah capa Abishai mah, Angraeng mah situi nok tangcae ah kaom to anih mah tangoeng pongah, hae tiah kaom Shimel to paduek han om ai maw? tiah anaa.
But Abisai the son of Sarvia answering, said: Shall Semei for these words not be put to death, because he cursed the Lord’s anointed?
22 David mah, Zeruiah capanawk, nangcae hoi kai misa ah angcoeng hanah takung timaw oh? Vaihniah Israel kami maeto paduek han oh maw? Kai loe Israel kaminawk ukkung siangpahrang ah ka oh, tiah panoek ai kami ah maw ka oh? tiah a naa.
And David said: What have I to do with you, ye sons of Sarvia? why are you a satan this day to me? shall there any man be killed this day in Israel? do not I know that this day I am made king over Israel?
23 To pongah siangpahrang mah Shimei khaeah, Na dueh mak ai, tiah a naa. Siangpahrang mah nang khaeah lokkamhaih sak boeh.
And the king said to Semei: Thou shalt not die. And he swore unto him.
24 Saul capa patoeng Mephiboseth doeh siangpahrang tong hanah caeh tathuk; anih loe siangpahrang tacawt na ni hoi kamtong kamong ah amlaem let khoek to, a khok doeh khenzawn ai; a toektaboe mui doeh aat ai moe, khukbuen doeh pasuk ai.
And Miphiboseth the son of Saul came down to meet the king, and he had neither washed his feet, nor trimmed his beard: nor washed his garments from the day that the king went out, until the day of his return in peace.
25 Jerusalem vangpui ah siangpahrang hnuk hanah a caeh naah, siangpahrang mah anih khaeah, Mephiboseth, tipongah kai hoi nawnto na caeh ai loe? tiah a naa.
And when he met the king at Jerusalem, the king said to him: Why camest thou not with me, Miphiboseth?
26 Anih mah, Aw Ka angraeng, sianpahrang, na tamna kai loe khokkhaem pongah, laa hrang to kang thueng moe, siangpahrang hoi nawnto ka caeh han, tiah ka poek; toe ka tamna Ziba mah kai angling.
And he answering, said: My lord, O king, my servant despised me: for I thy servant spoke to him to saddle me an ass, that I might get on and go with the king: for I thy servant am lame.
27 Anih mah, na tamna kai hae, nang khaeah kasae ang thuih; ka angraeng siangpahrang nang loe, Sithaw ih van kami baktiah na oh; to pongah na koeh baktiah na sah halat ah.
Moreover he hath also accused me thy servant to thee, my lord the king: but thou my lord the king art as an angel of God, do what pleaseth thee.
28 Kampa ih imthung takohnawk loe, ka angraeng siangpahrang hmaa ah ni ka duek o; toe na tamna hae na caboi nuiah buhcaa kaminawk salakah nang suek; to pongah siangpahrang hmaa ah laisaep han timaw ka tawnh? tiah a naa.
For all of my father’s house were no better than worthy of death before my lord the king; and thou hast set me thy servant among the guests of thy table: what just complaint therefore have I? or what right to cry any more to the king?
29 Siangpahrang mah anih khaeah, Nang ih kawng kapop parai ah thuih han timaw oh? Ziba hoiah nang ih lawk to ampraek hanah lok ka takroek boeh, tiah a naa.
Then the king said to him: Why speakest thou any more? what I have said is determined: thou and Siba divide the possessions.
30 Mephiboseth mah siangpahrang khaeah, Ue, ka angraeng siangpahrang loe angmah im ah lunghoih ah amlaem let boeh pongah, anih mah hmuennawk to la boih nasoe, tiah a naa.
And Miphiboseth answered the king: Yea, let him take all, for as much as my lord the king is returned peaceably into his house.
31 Gilead acaeng Barzillai doeh Roge-lim vangpui hoiah angzoh moe, siangpahrang to Jordan vapui yaeh ah thak hanah anih hoi nawnto angkat hoi.
Berzellai also the Galaadite coming down from Rogelim, brought the king over the Jordan, being ready also to wait on him beyond the river.
32 Barzillai loe mitong parai boeh; saning quitazetto oh boeh moe, siangpahrang Mahanaim vangpui ah oh nathung, anih mah caaknaek hoiah a khetzawn; anih loe angraeng kami ah oh.
Now Berzellai the Galaadite was of a great age, that is to say, fourscore years old, and he provided the king with sustenance when he abode in the camp: for he was a man exceeding rich.
33 Siangpahrang mah Barzillai khaeah, Kai hoi nawnto angzo ah, Jerusalam ah kai mah kang khetzawn han hmang, tiah a naa.
And the king said to Berzellai: Come with me that thou mayest rest secure with me in Jerusalem.
34 Toe Barzillai mah siangpaharng khaeah, Jerusalem ah siangpahrang hoi nawnto ka caeh hanah, kai loe saning nazetto maw ka hing vop tih?
And Berzellai said to the king: How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
35 Vaihi saning quitazetto ka oh boeh; hmuen kasae kahoih ka pathlaeng thaih vop tih maw? Na tamna kai mah caaknaek mataeng doeh pataeng thai vop tih maw? Laa sah nongpa hoi nongpatanawk ih lok doeh ka thaih thai vop tih maw? Tipongah na tamna loe ka angraeng siangpahrang ih hmuenzit ah ka oh han loe?
I am this day fourscore years old, are my senses quick to discern sweet and bitter? or can meat or drink delight thy servant? or can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? why should thy servant be a burden to my lord, the king?
36 Na tamna loe siangpahrang hoi nawnto Jordan vapui yaeh ah setta ni ka caeh thai tih boeh; tipongah siangpahrang mah hae baktih tangqum kai paek han angai vop?
I thy servant will go on a little way from the Jordan with thee: I need not this recompense.
37 Na tamna kai loe amlaem halat ue; kaimah ih vangpui, kampa hoi kamno ih taprong taengah, ka duek halat han boeh. Toe khenah, na tamna Khimham to oh; anih loe ka angraeng siangpahrang hoiah nawnto caeh nasoe. Na koeh baktiah anih hanah hmuen to sah paeh, tiah a naa.
But I beseech thee let thy servant return, and die in my own city, and be buried by the sepulchre of my father, and of my mother. But there is thy servant Chamaam, let him go with thee, my lord, the king, and do to him whatsoever seemeth good to thee.
38 To naah siangpahrang mah, Khimham loe kai hoi nawnto caeh tih; na koeh ih hmuen boih anih hanah ka sak pae han; saksak na koeh ih hmuen to ka sak pae boih han, tiah a naa.
Then the king said to him: Let Chamaam go over with me, and I will do for him whatsoever shall please thee, and all that thou shalt ask of me, thou shalt obtain.
39 To pongah kaminawk boih Jordan vapui to angkat o. Siangpahrang loe tui angkat moe, Barzillai to mok pacoengah, tahamhoihaih paek; to pacoengah Barzillai loe angmah ih vangpui ah amlaem let.
And when all the people and the king had passed over the Jordan, the king kissed Berzellai, and blessed him: and he returned to his own place.
40 Siangpahrang loe Gilgat vangpui ah caeh, Khimham doeh anih hoi nawnto caeh toeng; Judah kaminawk boih hoi ahap Israel kaminawk mah siangpahrang to thak o.
So the king went on to Galgal, and Chamaam with him. Now all the people of Juda had brought the king over, and only half of the people of Israel were there.
41 Khenah, Israel kaminawk loe siangpahrang khaeah angzoh o boih moe, siangpahrang khaeah, Tipongah kaicae ih nawkamya Judah kaminawk mah, siangpahrang hoi anih ih imthung takoh kaminawk, anih khaeah kaom David ih kaminawk to paquk o boih moe, Jordan vapui yaeh ah caeh o haih ving loe? tiah a naa o.
Therefore all the men of Israel running together to the king, said to him: Why have our brethren the men of Juda stolen thee away, and have brought the king and his household over the Jordan, and all the men of David with him?
42 To naah Judah kaminawk boih mah, Israel kaminawk khaeah, Siangpahrang loe kaicae ih canawk ah oh pongah ni hae tiah ka sak o; tipongah nangcae palungphui han oh? Siangpahrang ih caaknaek to kaicae mah ka caak pae o maw? To tih ai boeh loe kaicae hanah anih mah tangqum paek maw? tiah a naa o.
And all the men of Juda answered the men of Israel: Because the king is nearer to me: why art thou angry for this matter? have we eaten any thing of the king’s, or have any gifts been given us?
43 To naah Israel kaminawk mah, Judah kaminawk khaeah, Kaicae loe siangpahrang nuiah taham hato ka tawnh o; to khue na ai, David imthung takoh kawng to thuih nahaeloe nangcae pongah loe kaicae hae anghnai kue. Tipongah siangpahrang thak let hanah kaicae dueng hmaloe ai ah, kaicae hae tidoeh sah ai ah na oh o loe? tiah a naa o. Toe Israel kaminawk ih lok pongah, Judah kaminawk ih lok to thacak kue.
And the men of Israel answered the men of Juda, and said: I have ten parts in the king more than thou, and David belongeth to me more than to thee: why hast thou done me a wrong, and why was it not told me first, that I might bring back my king? And the men of Juda answered more harshly than the men of Israel.
