< 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 Saul’s son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were 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.
Saul’s son had two men who were captains of raiding bands. The name of one was Baanah and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin (for Beeroth also is considered a 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 lived as foreigners there until today).
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 lame in his feet. He was five years old when the news came about Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel; and his nurse picked him up and fled. As she hurried to flee, 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.
The sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went out and came at about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth as he took his rest 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.
They came there into the middle of the house as though they would have fetched wheat, and they struck him in the body; and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
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.
Now when they came into the house as he lay on his bed in his bedroom, they struck him, killed him, beheaded him, and took his head, and went by the way of the Arabah all night.
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 to Hebron, and said to the king, “Behold, the head of Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life! The LORD has avenged my lord the king today of Saul and of his offspring.”
9 Ahin David in Recab le Baanah jaah hitin aseiyin, ka Pathen, kagalmite jouse a kon eihuhdoh pa minna kasei ahi.
David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, “As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
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, ‘Behold, Saul is dead,’ thinking that he brought good news, I seized him and killed him in Ziklag, which 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 slain a righteous person in his own house on his bed, should I not now require his blood from your hand, and rid the earth of you?”
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.
David commanded his young men, and they killed them, cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth and buried it in Abner’s grave in Hebron.
