1 Siangpahrang 2
1 Devit a due han a hnai toung dawkvah, a capa Solomon hah kâ a poe.
As the day of David's death approached, he commanded Solomon his son, saying,
2 Talai phung patetlah ka cei han toe. Hatdawkvah, thakâlat nateh tongpatang lah awm loe.
“I am going the way of all the earth. Be strong, therefore, and show yourself a man.
3 Na sak e hno pueng hoi na ceinae naw pueng koe a lamcawn nahanlah Mosi e kâlawk dawk thut e patetlah BAWIPA na Cathut ni a lamthung dawn hane hoi a phunglam, kâpoelawk, lawkcengnae hoi na panuesaknae naw tarawi hanelah lawk na poe e naw hah tarawi haw.
Keep the commands of Yahweh your God to walk in his ways, to obey his statutes, his commandments, his decisions, and his covenant decrees, being careful to do what is written in the law of Moses, so you may prosper in all you do, wherever you go,
4 BAWIPA ni kaie kong dawk hoi na capanaw ni lungthin buemlahoi a hringnae buemlahoi a ceinae koe kâhruetcuet lahoi ka hmalah yuemkamcu lah awm pawiteh, Isarelnaw e bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung hane na vout awh mahoeh, telah a dei e hah a caksak han.
so that Yahweh may fulfill his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, 'If your sons carefully watch their conduct, to walk before me faithfully with all their heart and with all their soul, you will never cease to have a man on the throne of Israel.'
5 Hathloilah, Zeruiah capa Joab ni kai dawk a sak e naw hah na panue. Isarel ransanaw kaukkung kahni touh, Ner capa Abner hoi Jether capa Amosa a theinae dawk a sak e naw hah, roumnae tueng nah tarantuknae thipaling a lawng sak teh a keng dawk a kâyeng e taisawm dawk hai thoseh, a khokkhawm dawk hai thoseh, tarantuknae koe kânep e naw hah pahnim hanh.
You know also what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two commanders of the armies of Israel, to Abner son of Ner, and to Amasa son of Jether, whom he killed. He shed the blood of war in peace and put the blood of war on the belt around his waist and on the shoes on his feet.
6 Hatdawkvah, na lungang e patetlah tawk haw, a sam kaponaw phuen vah karoumcalah loum sak hanh. (Sheol h7585)
Deal with Joab by the wisdom you have learned, but do not let his gray head go down to the grave in peace. (Sheol h7585)
7 Gilead tami Barzillai tinaw koe teh lungmanae kamnuek sak. Na caboi dawk rawca kavenkung lah sak. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na hmau Absalom koehoi ka yawng nah kai koe a tho awh.
However, show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who eat at your table, for they came to me when I fled from Absalom your brother.
8 Hahoi, khenhaw! Bahurim kho e tami Benjamin catoun Gera capa Shimei heh nang koe ao. Ahni ni, Mahanaim hmuen koe ka cei navah, Atangcalah thoe na bo. Hatei, Jordan vah kai na dawn hanelah a tho teh, hote hmuen koe tahloi hoi thei hoeh hanelah Cathut min hno lahoi lawk yo ka kam toe.
Look, there is with you Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite of Bahurim, who cursed me with a violent curse on the day I went to Mahanaim. Shimei came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by Yahweh, saying, 'I will not put you to death with the sword.'
9 Hatdawkvah, yonnae ka tawn hoeh e patetlah pouk hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh tami lungkaang lah na o. A lathueng vah bangtelamaw ka sak han tie hah na panue han doeh. Phuen dawk a sam kaponaw teh thipaling hoi na ceisak han telah atipouh. (Sheol h7585)
Now therefore do not let him go free from punishment. You are a wise man, and you will know what you ought to do to him. You will bring his gray head down to the grave with blood.” (Sheol h7585)
10 Hahoi Devit teh a na mintoenaw koe a i teh, Devit khopui dawk a pakawp awh.
Then David slept with his ancestors and was buried in the city of David.
11 Devit ni Isarel a uknae tueng kum 40 touh a pha. Hebron vah kum 7 touh a uk teh, Jerusalem vah kum 33 touh a uk.
The days that David reigned over Israel were forty years. He had reigned for seven years in Hebron and for thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
12 Hahoi, Solomon teh a na pa e bawitungkhung dawk a tahung teh a uknaeram teh hoe a caksak.
Then Solomon sat on the throne of his father David, and his rule was firmly established.
13 Haggith capa Adonijah teh Solomon e manu Bathsheba koe a tho. Manu ni roumnae hoi maw na tho telah a pacei. Roumnae hoi ka tho doeh telah atipouh.
Then Adonijah son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. She said, “Do you come peacefully?” He replied, “Peacefully.”
14 Hahoi, ahni ni nang koe lawk dei hane ka tawn atipouh. Manu ni dei haw atipouh.
Then he said, “I have something to say to you.” So she replied, “Speak.”
15 Ahni ni ram hateh kaie lah ao tie hoi Isarelnaw pueng ni hai kai ni uknaeram hanlah a pouknae naw kai dawk a bo tie hai na panue. Hatei, ram hateh, ka nawngha koe a pha toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA khokhangnae teh ahni hanelah doeh ao.
Adonijah said, “You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel expected me to be king. But things changed, and the kingdom was given to my brother, for it was his from Yahweh.
16 Atuvah, hno buet touh hei hane ka tawn, na ek pouh hanh leih atipouh. Manu ni dei leih bout atipouh.
Now I have one request of you, and do not turn away from my face.” Bathsheba said to him, “Speak.”
17 Pahren lahoi siangpahrang Solomon na pato pouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na lawk teh ek mahoeh. Shunam tami Abishag hah yu lah na paluen sak haw naseh atipouh.
He said, “Please speak to Solomon the king, for he will not turn away from your face, so that he may give me Abishag the Shunammite as my wife.”
18 Bathsheba ni, oe siangpahrang koe ka dei pouh han atipouh.
Bathsheba said, “Very well, I will speak to the king.”
19 Hahoi, Bathsheba teh Adonijah e lawk dei pouh hanelah, siangpahrang Solomon koe a cei. Siangpahrang teh a manu a dawn hanelah a thaw teh, a hmalah a tabo teh a bawitungkhung dawk bout a tahung. Siangpahrang e manu hanelah bawitungkhung hah a hruek pou teh, aranglah a tahung pouh.
Bathsheba therefore went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. The king rose to meet her and bowed down to her. Then he sat down on his throne and had a throne brought for the king's mother. She sat at his right hand.
20 Hahoi, hno buet touh ka hei hane ao. Na lungkuepkhai loe atipouh. Siangpahrang ni het loe anu, ka ek mahoeh atipouh.
Then she said, “I wish to ask one small request of you, for you will not turn away from my face.” The king answered her, “Ask, my mother, for I will not turn away from your face.”
21 Ahni ni, Shunam tami Abishag he na hmau Adonijah e yu lah paluen sak loe atipouh.
She said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother as his wife.”
22 Siangpahrang Solomon ni, bangkongmaw Shunam napui Abishag hah Adonijah hanelah na hei. Uknaeram hai het pouh bokhe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni teh ka hmau nahoehmaw. Ahni hane hoi vaihma Abiathar hoi Zeruiah capa Joab hane hai het pouh bokhe atipouh.
King Solomon answered and said to his mother, “Why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Why do you not ask the kingdom for him also, for he is my elder brother—for him, for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab son of Zeruiah?”
23 Siangpahrang Solomon ni BAWIPA e min lahoi Adonijah ni a hei e heh ama due nahane nahoeh pawiteh, Cathut ni a ngai e patetlah kai dawk sak lawiseh, hothlak ka pataw lahai yah ati.
Then King Solomon swore by Yahweh, saying, “May God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life.
24 BAWIPA e lawkkam patetlah na caksak teh apa Devit e bawitungkhung dawk na tahung sak teh ka imthung kangdout sak e hringnae lahoi ka dei. Adonijah het sahnin roeroe thei e lah awm seh telah lawk a kam.
Now therefore as Yahweh lives, who has established me and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house as he promised, surely Adonijah will be put to death today.”
25 Hahoi teh, siangpahrang Solomon ni Jehoiada capa Benaiah a patoun teh ahni ni a hem teh a due.
So King Solomon sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and Benaiah found Adonijah and put him to death.
26 Hahoi, vaihma Abiathar koevah, siangpahrang ni, Anathoth kho e nang nama im ban leih. Due hanlah na kamcu, hatei apa Devit hmalah Bawipa Jehovah e thingkong na hrawm teh apa ni a khang e runae naw hai na khangkhai van dawkvah, atu teh na thet mahoeh rah atipouh.
Then to Abiathar the priest the king said, “Go to Anathoth, to your own fields. You are worthy of death, but I will not at this time put you to death, because you carried the ark of the Lord Yahweh before David my father and suffered in every way my father suffered.”
27 Hahoi teh, Cathut ni Shiloh kho vah Eli imthungnaw hno lahoi a dei e a kuep nahanelah, Solomon ni Abiathar teh BAWIPA e vaihma thaw dawk hoi a takhoe.
So Solomon dismissed Abiathar from being priest to Yahweh, that he might fulfill the word of Yahweh, which he had spoken concerning the house of Eli at Shiloh.
28 Hote lawk hah Joab ni a thai. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Joab teh Absalom koelah bawk hoeh eiteh, Adonijah koelah ka bawk e tami lah ao. Hahoi Joab teh BAWIPA e lukkareiim dawk a yawng teh thuengnae khoungroe ki hah a kuet.
The news came to Joab, for Joab had supported Adonijah, though he had not supported Absalom. So Joab fled to the tent of Yahweh and took hold of the horns of the altar.
29 Hahoi, BAWIPA e lukkareiim dawk Joab a yawng, thuengnae khoungroe koe ao telah Solomon koe a dei pouh awh. Hahoi siangpahrang Solomon ni Jehoiada capa Benaiah koe cet nateh, thet atipouh.
It was told King Solomon that Joab had fled to the tent of Yahweh and was now beside the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, execute him.”
30 Benaiah teh BAWIPA lukkareiim koe lah a ceitakhang teh ahni koevah siangpahrang ni tâcawt loe ati atipouh. Ahni ni nahoeh hete hmuen koe doeh ka due han atipouh. Benaiah ni Joab ni hettelah a dei, hettelah na pato telah siangpahrang koe a thai sak.
So Benaiah came to the tent of Yahweh and said to him, “The king says, 'Come out.'” Joab replied, “No, I will die here.” So Benaiah returned to the king, saying, “Joab said he wanted to die at the altar.”
31 Siangpahrang ni hai yon ka tawn hoeh e tami Joab ni a thei e yonnae teh kai hoi apa imthungnaw kâbet hoeh hanelah a dei e patetlah thet nateh pakawm awh atipouh.
The king said to him, “Do as he has said. Kill him and bury him so that you may take away from me and from my father's house the blood that Joab shed without cause.
32 Hat toteh, ama hlak kalan e kahawi e tami kahni touh Ner capa Abner Isarel ransanaw kaukkung hoi Jether capa Amsa Judah ransanaw kaukkung hah apa Devit ni panuek laipalah a tuk teh, tahloi hoi a thei dawkvah, BAWIPA ni a thipaling teh amae a lû dawk a pha sak han.
May Yahweh return his blood on his own head, because he attacked two men more righteous and better than himself and killed them with the sword, Abner son of Ner, the captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa son of Jether, the captain of the army of Judah, without my father David knowing it.
33 Hottelah, thipaling teh Joab e lû dawk hoi a catounnaw e lû dawk yuengyoe ban vaiteh, Devit e lathueng thoseh, a ca catounnaw e lathueng thoseh, a imthungnaw e lathueng thoseh, a bawitungkhung dawk BAWIPA koehoi roumnae yungyoe ao han atipouh.
So may their blood return on the head of Joab and on the head of his descendants forever. But to David and his descendants, and to his house, and to his throne, may there be peace forever from Yahweh.”
34 Jehoiada capa Benaiah ni a cei teh a thei. Hahoi kahrawngum amae im dawk a pakawp.
Then Benaiah son of Jehoiada went up and attacked Joab and killed him. He was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
35 Hahoi siangpahrang ni Jehoiada capa Benaiah teh, ransabawi lah a hruek teh, vaihma Zadok hah siangpahrang ni Abiathar e a yueng lah a hruek.
The king put Benaiah son of Jehoiada over the army in his place, and he put Zadok the priest in Abiathar's place.
36 Hahoi siangpahrang ni Shimei a kaw sak teh, ahni koevah Jerusalem vah im sak nateh, hawvah awmh. Hote hmuen koehoi nahai tâcawt hanh.
Then the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, “Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and live there, and do not go out from there to any other place.
37 Bangkongtetpawiteh, na tâco hnin, Kidron palang na raka hnin roeroe vah na due han tie hah panuek. Na thipaling teh nama e na lû dawk ao han atipouh.
For on the day you go out, and pass over the Kidron Valley, know you for certain that you will surely die. Your blood will be on your own head.”
38 Shimei ni siangpahrang koevah, bokheiyah, siangpahrang ka bawipa ni na dei e patetlah na san ni ka sak han atipouh.
So Shimei said to the king, “What you say is good. As my master the king has said, so your servant will do.” So Shimei lived in Jerusalem for many days.
39 Shimei teh Jerusalem vah ka saw hnawn lah ao. Kum thum touh a ro toteh, Shimei koe kaawm e sannaw thung hoi tami kahni touh teh, Gath siangpahrang Maakah capa Akhish koe a yawng. Thaihaw, na san teh Gath vah ao telah Shimei koe a dei pouh awh.
But at the end of three years, two of the servants of Shimei ran away to Achish son of Maacah, the king of Gath. So they told Shimei, saying, “See, your servants are in Gath.”
40 Shimei a thaw teh, la a rakueng teh a san tawng hanelah Gath vah Akhish koe a cei. Hahoi Shimei ni Gath kho e a san hah a thokhai.
Then Shimei arose, saddled his donkey and went to Achish in Gath to seek his servants. He went and brought his servants back from Gath.
41 Shimei teh Jerusalem kho dawk hoi a tâco teh Gath kho lah a cei teh, bout a ban telah Solomon koe a dei pouh awh.
When Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had returned,
42 Siangpahrang ni Shimei a kaw sak teh, ahni koevah na tâco hnin, ram louk lah na cei hnin vah na due roeroe han telah BAWIPA e min noe lahoi lawk kâkam teh na thaisak nahoehmaw. Hahoi nang ni hai na dei e ka thai e heh ahawi na ti.
the king sent and called for Shimei and said to him, “Did I not make you swear by Yahweh and testify to you, saying, 'Know for certain that on the day you go out and go to any other place, you will surely die'? Then you said to me, 'What you say is good.'
43 Bangkongmaw BAWIPA e lawkkam hoi kâlawknaw na tarawi hoeh atipouh.
Why then have you not kept your oath to Yahweh and the command that I gave you?”
44 Siangpahrang ni Shimei koe, na hawihoehnae apa Devit koe na sak e hah na lungthin ni na panue. Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni na hawihoehnae patetlah nange lathueng vah a ban sak han.
The king also said to Shimei, “You know in your heart all the wickedness that you did to my father David. Therefore Yahweh will return your wickedness on your own head.
45 Hatei, siangpahrang Solomon teh yawhawi e lah ao vaiteh, Devit bawitungkhung teh BAWIPA hmalah yungyoe caksak lah ao han telah atipouh.
But King Solomon will be blessed and the throne of David will be established before Yahweh forever.”
46 Hat toteh, siangpahrang ni Jehoiada capa Benaiah koe kâ a poe teh a thei. Hat toteh, uknaeram teh Solomon kut dawk a caksak.
Then the king gave a command to Benaiah son of Jehoiada. He went out and put Shimei to death. So the rule was well established in Solomon's hand.
