< 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.
When Ishbosheth, Saul's son, heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became weak, and all Israel was troubled.
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.
Now Saul's son had two men who were captains of groups of soldiers. The name of one was Baanah and the other Recab, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite of the people of Benjamin (for Beeroth is also considered part of Benjamin,
3 Ajeh chu Beeroth mimong mong hochu Gittaim ah anajam lutnun, tunigeijin khopem mi bong ngin aching taove.
and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim and have been living there until this very time).
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).
Now Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son who was crippled in his feet. He was five years old when the news about Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel. His nurse picked him up to flee. But as she was running, Jonathan's son 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.
So the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Recab and Baanah, traveled during the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth, as he was resting at noon.
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.
The woman guarding the door had fallen asleep while sifting wheat, and Recab and Baanah walked in quietly and passed her.
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.
So after they entered the house, they attacked him and killed him as he was lying on his bed in his room. Then they cut off his head and carried it away, traveling on the road all night to 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 Ishbosheth to David at Hebron, and they said to the king, “Look, this is the head of Ishbosheth son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life. Today Yahweh has avenged our master the king against Saul and his descendants.”
9 Ahin David in Recab le Baanah jaah hitin aseiyin, ka Pathen, kagalmite jouse a kon eihuhdoh pa minna kasei ahi.
David answered Recab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite; he said to them, “As Yahweh lives, who delivered my life from every trouble,
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,' thinking he was bringing good news, I seized him and killed him at Ziklag. That was the reward I gave him 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 have killed an innocent person in his own house on his bed, should I not now require his blood from your hand, 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.
Then David gave orders to the young men, and they killed them and cut off their hands and feet and hung them up beside the pool at Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth and buried it in the grave of Abner in Hebron.
