< 2 Samuel 4 >

1 Chuin Saul’s chapa Ishbosheth in Hebron munna Abner’s athi chung chang ajah chun ahansan najouse abei tan chule Israel pumpi jong kichat nan adim taovin ahi.
Now when Ish-bosheth son of Saul heard that Abner had died in Hebron, he lost courage, and all Israel was dismayed.
2 Tun Ishbosheth’s in sepai galamkai Rimmon chateni Baanah le Recab chu anei in, amani chu Benjamin phungmi Beeroth a cheng ahilhon ne. chule tun Beeroth khopi chu Benjamin’s te gamsung ahitan ahi.
Saul’s son had two men who were leaders of raiding parties. One was named Baanah and the other Rechab; they were sons of Rimmon the Beerothite of the tribe of Benjamin—Beeroth is considered part of Benjamin,
3 Ajeh chu Beeroth mimong mong hochu Gittaim ah anajam lutnun, tunigeijin khopem mi bong ngin aching taove.
because the Beerothites fled to Gittaim and have lived there as foreigners to this day.
4 (Chuin Saul’s chapa Jonathan in chapa khat anei in amin Mephibosheth akitie, chule amahi aneova pet elbai ahi. Jezreel akonna Saul le Jonathan gal munnah atitai tithu ahung chun ama kum nga bou ahinalai in ahi. hitabong thusoh chapangpa jenlenun ajah doh phat in ama chu aman in ajampi tan ahi. hinlah amanu akinovar jeh in chapangpa chu akheh shah tan ahileh amachu akeng ahung bai tan ahi).
And Jonathan son of Saul had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the report about Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel. His nurse picked him up and fled, but as she was hurrying to escape, he fell and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.
5 Nikhat chu Beeroth akon Rimmon chapateni Recab le Baanath chu Ishbosheth’s in'ah sun in agachi lhon in ahileh amapa chun sun kichol anabol in ahi.
Now Rechab and Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, set out and arrived at the house of Ish-bosheth in the heat of the day, while the king was taking his midday nap.
6 Chuin kotngah a pangnun, chang anasep in ahileh aimut sophat in ana emulhatan ahi. hijeh chun Recab le Baanah jong chun amanu chu akalchuh lhonin achipei lhon tai.
They entered the interior of the house as if to get some wheat, and they stabbed him in the stomach. Then Rechab and his brother Baanah slipped away.
7 Insung alut lhonin ahileh Ishbosheth alupna chunga analup amulhon tan ahi. hichun anailut lhonin avolih lhonin alol atanpih lhon tan ahi. chujou vin alu akichoi lhonin Jordan phaicham geijin jankhovah hellin ajam lhon tan ahi.
They had entered the house while Ish-bosheth was lying on his bed, and having stabbed and killed him, they beheaded him, took his head, and traveled all night by way of the Arabah.
8 Chuin Hebron alhun lhonin Ishbosheth’s lu chu David api lhon tan ahi. chuin lengpa hengah apeng jah jeng lhonin, “ven!” hichehi nagalmi nangma that dia kigo Saul chapa Ishbosheth luchang ahi. tunin Pathenin ka pakai lengpa dingin Saul le a insungmite chungah phu alatan ahi.
They brought the head of Ish-bosheth to David at Hebron and said to the king, “Here is the head of Ish-bosheth son of Saul, your enemy who sought your life. Today the LORD has granted vengeance to my lord the king against Saul and his offspring.”
9 Ahin David in Recab le Baanah jaah hitin aseiyin, ka Pathen, kagalmite jouse a kon eihuhdoh pa minna kasei ahi.
But David answered Rechab and his brother Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, “As surely as the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from all distress,
10 Khatvei mikhat in Saul athitai tin kakommah ahung seiye, amapachun keimadia thupha hinpo dan a kigel hite. Hinlah keiman ama chu kapui in Ziklag munnah kagathat tan ahi. hichu amadia ahin thupoh man a kapeh ahi.
when someone told me, ‘Look, Saul is dead,’ and thought he was a bearer of good news, I seized him and put him to death at Ziklag. That was his reward for his news!
11 Akhuti leh keiman kho hepha louva ainsunga alupna a lumpa that migilou hochu echangeija kipaman kapih ding hitam? keiman ama thisan phuhi kalah da a leiset chunga jong kasuh mang da lhon ding ham? ati.
How much more, when wicked men kill a righteous man in his own house and on his own bed, shall I not now require his blood from your hands and remove you from the earth!”
12 Chuin David in amani that din agollhang hochu thupeh anei in, chule amahon jong abol taovin ahi. chuin amahon akhut, akeng atenpih un atahsa chu Hebron twikul kommah akhai taovin ahi. chujou vin Ishbosheth’s lubuh chu achoi un Hebron muna Abner’s lhan ah chun avui tao vin ahi.
So David commanded his young men, and they killed Rechab and Baanah. They cut off their hands and feet and hung their bodies by the pool in Hebron, but they took the head of Ish-bosheth and buried it in Abner’s tomb in Hebron.
