2 Samuel 1
1 Saul thi jouvin ahitin ahi, David chun Amalek mite chunga galjona aneijou vin ahung kinung len Ziklag munnah nini sung aumden in ahi.
After the death of Saul, David returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites and stayed in Ziklag two days.
2 Anithum nin mikhat Saul’s ngahmun a konin von tel dehduh le aluchunga leiset nat pum in lunghem vetsahnan a hungin, David angsungah jana neitah in abohkhup tan ahi.
On the third day a man with torn clothes and dust on his head arrived from Saul’s camp. When he came to David, he fell to the ground to pay him homage.
3 Chuin David in adong in, “hoiya kon hung nahim”? atileh amapan adonbut in, “Israel te ngahmun a kon hung jamdoh kahi” ati.
“Where have you come from?” David asked. “I have escaped from the Israelite camp,” he replied.
4 Chuin David in adongin, “Epiti hytam?” “Gal umchan thu neiseipih in” ati, chuin aman adonbut in, “kasepai te jouseu galmun akon ajam gam uvin, mitampin thina atoh un, chule Saul le achapa Jonathan jong athi lhon tai ati.”
“What was the outcome?” David asked. “Please tell me.” “The troops fled from the battle,” he replied. “Many of them fell and died. And Saul and his son Jonathan are also dead.”
5 Chuin David in Gollhangpa ja ah, “Eti Saul le Jonathan athi taiti nahet ham?” ati.
Then David asked the young man who had brought him the report, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”
6 chuin mipan adonbut in, keima Gilboa molchungah kaga umkhan ahileh, hi ah chun Saul in a tengcha chu anaop phan chuleh agalmite sakol kangtalai holeh sakol them hon ahin delphah kon chao chu ahitai.
“I happened to be on Mount Gilboa,” he replied, “and there was Saul, leaning on his spear, with the chariots and the cavalry closing in on him.
7 Chuin ama ahung kiheijin keima eimu phat in amakom adin eikoutai. Chuin keiman kadong ngin, Eti kaki thopi ding ham Katie.
When he turned around and saw me, he called out and I answered, ‘Here I am!’
8 Hichun aman eidonbut in, nang koi nahim eiti? Chuin keiman kaseipih in, keima Amalek mi kahi Katie.
‘Who are you?’ he asked. So I told him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’
9 Hichun ama kahengah ataovin, hung inlang neihung that tan, ajeh chu keiman kanat nahi kathoh jou tapon hijeh chun kathinom tai, ati.
Then he begged me, ‘Stand over me and kill me, for agony has seized me, but my life still lingers.’
10 “Hijeh chun keiman ama chu kathat tai,” tin Amalek mipa chun David komah aseitai, ajeh chu keiman kahet ahitai ama ahinjou tah lou ding chu. Hiti chun a Lallukhuh leh abanbul tom naho kahin lan nakom ah kahin lhut e ka Pakai, ati.
So I stood over him and killed him, because I knew that after he had fallen he could not survive. And I took the crown that was on his head and the band that was on his arm, and I have brought them here to my lord.”
11 Hitabong thusoh chu David leh amiten ajah doh phat un apon u abot eh un alung genthei lheh taovin ahi.
Then David took hold of his own clothes and tore them, and all the men who were with him did the same.
12 Hitichun amahon sun nilhum in Saul chule achapa Jonathan ding, Pakai sepai holeh Israel nam mite adin an angolun, akap un, pul adou un alunghem un ahi, ajeh chu hiche nikho a hi amaho chemjam a thisoh ahiuve.
They mourned and wept and fasted until evening for Saul and his son Jonathan, and for the people of the LORD and the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
13 Hichun David in thu hinpo gollhang pa komah chun aseitan, “hoiya kon hung nahim ati?” chuin aman adonbut in, keima gamdang, jatdang Amalek mi, nagam uva khosa kahi, ati.
And David inquired of the young man who had brought him the report, “Where are you from?” “I am the son of a foreigner,” he answered. “I am an Amalekite.”
14 Chuin David in adongin, “Epi tidan a nangman Pakai thaonu mikhat chu thading kichat na nanei lou hel ham? Atie.
So David asked him, “Why were you not afraid to lift your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?”
15 Chuin David in amiho khat pen komah chun asei in, “that in!” ati, hichun mipan Amalek mipa chu achemjam in adot in athat tan ahi.
Then David summoned one of the young men and said, “Go, execute him!” So the young man struck him down, and he died.
16 Chujou vin David in aseiyin, “Nang le nang themmo kichan nahi,” “ajeh chu nangman nakam tah a Pakai thaonu pachu kathat tai nati.”
For David had said to the Amalekite, “Your blood be on your own head because your own mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I killed the LORD’s anointed.’”
17 Hitichun David in Saul le Jonathan din ka-la asemin,
Then David took up this lament for Saul and his son Jonathan,
18 Chuleh hichehi Judah te jong hilding ahitin thupeh anei in ahi. hiche la hi thalpi la tin akihen chuleh hichehi Jashar te lekhabu a kijih lut ahi.
and he ordered that the sons of Judah be taught the Song of the Bow. It is written in the Book of Jashar:
19 Vo Israel naloupi nao le nakipa nao chu molsang chungah akithat tai! I ati leh galhang mihat hochu lhugam u hitam!
“Your glory, O Israel, lies slain on your heights. How the mighty have fallen!
20 Gath muna athu hohi seidoh hih un, Ashkelon lamlen dungah jong phongdoh hih un, achuti louva ahileh Philistines Chanute kipah untin, chule cheptan louho jong galjou bangnga nuidiu ahi.
Tell it not in Gath; proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, and the daughters of the uncircumcised exult.
21 O nang Gilboa molsang, nachungah daitwi lhah da hen lang, gojong juhda hen, chule loujao va lou hon jong amuchiga hinsepdoh dahen. Ajeh chu mihatpa lumdal chu suhboh in aum tan; Saul lumdal chu thaotwi nulouva um ahitai.
O mountains of Gilboa, may you have no dew or rain, no fields yielding offerings of grain. For there the shield of the mighty was defiled, the shield of Saul, no longer anointed with oil.
22 Jonathan kineosah chu nasatah ahin, chule Saul chemjam chun na loupi tah atongdoh in ahi. amahon agalmiteu thisan asou vin chule galhat, mi hangsan ho tahsa asun in ahi.
From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan did not retreat, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.
23 Iti ngailut le lungset um hitam Saul le Jonathan hi! Ahinlai sung lhon leh athigei lhon in aumkhom jing lhon in ahi. amanihi Muvanlai sanga gang joleh keipi bahkai sanga jong hatjo ahilhon in ahi.
Saul and Jonathan, beloved and delightful in life, were not divided in death. They were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
24 Vo Israel Chanute, Saul a dingin kap un, ajeh chu amahi ponsanthip deium mantamtah a nachun pao le sana a najem pao chu ahi.
O daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you in scarlet and luxury, who decked your garments with ornaments of gold.
25 Iti galhat miho galmuna lhugam u hitam! munsang chungah Jonathan jong athisan akijam tai.
How the mighty have fallen in the thick of battle! Jonathan lies slain on your heights.
26 Jonathan kasopipa, nangjeh in kakap kap jeng e! ichan a kangailut nahi hitam! chule nangman neingailut nahi athuh lheh in, numei ngailut nasangin athuh jon ahi!
I grieve for you, Jonathan, my brother. You were delightful to me; your love to me was extraordinary, surpassing the love of women.
27 Iti mihat ho lhugam a! galmanchah ho mangsoh a, amaho athia kijam chap jeng hitam? ati.
How the mighty have fallen and the weapons of war have perished!”
