< 1 Kings 2 >

1 Now the time of David's death came near; and he gave orders to Solomon his son, saying,
David lengpa hi a thina ding phat ahung nai phat in aman achapa Solomon chu hiti hin vailhahna ana neipeh in ahi.
2 I am going the way of all the earth: so be strong and be a man;
“Keima hi Leiset chung’a um mihem jouse phatkhat leh ache cheh na diu mun chu kajot ding ahitai. Nangman hangsan tah in pasal phatah umchan hin th in,
3 And keep the orders of the Lord your God, walking in his ways, keeping his laws and his orders and his rules and his words, as they are recorded in the law of Moses; so that you may do well in all you do and wherever you go,
Pakai na Pathen lungdei lam in hung chon inlang, alampi hin jui jing in, athupeh leh a dan ho Mose Danthu Lekhabu a kisun bang bang in nit jing jengin, chutileh natohna jouse leh na chena jouse’a na lolhin ding ahi.
4 So that the Lord may give effect to what he said of me, If your children give attention to their ways, living uprightly before me with all their heart and their soul, you will never be without a man to be king in Israel.
Hitia chu na bol leh Pakaiyin kei komma a kitepna jouse chu atohdoh thei ding ahi. Aman ka kom’a ei seipeh chu, nason nachilhah ten a lungthim pumpiu leh kitahna neitah a eijui uva ahi leh keiman Israel laltouna a khat ka tousah jing ding ahi,” eina tipeh in ahi.
5 Now you have knowledge of what Joab, the son of Zeruiah, did to me, and to the two captains of the army of Israel, Abner, the son of Ner, and Amasa, the son of Jether, whom he put to death, taking payment for the blood of war in time of peace, and making the band of my clothing and the shoes on my feet red with the blood of one put to death without cause.
“Chuleh thildang khat jong aum’e, Zeruiah chapa Joab in ipi ana bol am tichu na hen ahi, aman gal lamkai ni, Ner chapa Abner leh Jether chapa Amasa chu ana that in ahi. Aman gal kisat laiya kithat dana agel vang'in hichu chamna um petna abol joh ahibouve, a konggah leh a kengkoh chu thisan ana matsah in ahi.
6 So be guided by your wisdom, and let not his white head go down to the underworld in peace. (Sheol h7585)
Hijeh chun ama chung’a hin, phante nati dan dan in hin bolpeh tan, amavang hin lhumsah hih inlang lungmong in alhan mun jotsah hih-in. (Sheol h7585)
7 But be good to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be guests at your table; for so they came to me when I went in flight from Absalom your brother.
Gileadna um Barzillai chate chung ah khotona hin musah in, anao chu na ankong ah pan lahsah jengin ajeh chu na sopipa Absalom a kona ka jam lai nikho chun aman eina khohsah lheh-in ahi.
8 Now you have with you Shimei, the son of Gera the Benjamite of Bahurim, who put a bitter curse on me on the day when I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to see me at Jordan, and I gave him my oath by the Lord, saying, I will not put you to death by the sword.
Chuleh Bahurim a kona Benjamin phungmi Gera chapa Shimei chu geldoh in. Mahamaim lam’a ka jam laijin ama hin nasatah in eina gaosap ahi. Jordan vadunga ei lamto’a ahung chun, keiman Pakaija kihahsel na kana neijin na that ponge kana tin ahi.
9 But do not let him be free from punishment, for you are a wise man; and it will be clear to you what you have to do with him; see that his white head goes down to the underworld in blood. (Sheol h7585)
Ahinlah hiche ka kihahselna chun ama them achansah dehpon ahi. Nangma miching nahin chule iloding le thisan naisan pumma lhanmun ajot ding alampi hin got them tan,” ati. (Sheol h7585)
10 Then David went to rest with his fathers, and his body was put into the earth in the town of David.
David chu athitan David khopia chun apu apa tetoh a kivui khom tauvin ahi.
11 David was king over Israel for forty years: for seven years he was king in Hebron and for thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
David chun kum somli vai ana hom in, Hebron ah kum sagi chuleh Jerusalem ah kum somthum le thum vai ana hom in ahi.
12 And Solomon took his place on the seat of David his father, and his kingdom was made safe and strong.
Solomon chun Lengmun ahin lotan apa David laltouna achun ahung tou tan ahi, chuleh a Lenggam chu hoitah in akisuhdet tan ahi.
13 Then Adonijah, the son of Haggith, came to Bath-sheba, the mother of Solomon. And she said, Come you in peace? And he said, Yes, in peace.
Nikhat hi Haggith kitinu chapa Adonijah chu Solomon nu Bethsheba kimupi din ahung in ahi, Bethsheba in, “Chamna lungpu’a na hung hinam?” atileh, amapan jong “Ahinai, chamna dia ka hung ahi,” ati.
14 Then he said, I have something to say to you. And she said, Say on.
“Tubeh hin keiman na kom ah thum nom khat ka neije” ati. Bethsheba’n jong adonbut in “Ipi ham seijin?” ati.
15 And he said, You saw how the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had the idea that I would be their king; but now the kingdom is turned about, and has become my brother's, for it was given to him by the Lord.
Adonijah in a donbut in, “Nang in na het bang in hiche Lenggam hi keija ding dol ahi, Israel mipite hin lengmun lo dinga kei ei deiju ahi. Ahin lah thil ahung kilehei jin hiche lenggam hi ka sopipa ahung chang tai, ajeh chu hiche hi Pakai thilgon ahi.
16 Now I have one request to make to you, and do not say, No, to me. And she said to him, Say on.
Hijeh chun tun keiman na kom’a thilkhat bou ka thum nom’e, lungset tah in nei it peh hihbeh in” ati. “Ipiham seijin?” tin Bethsheba in anadongin ahi.
17 Then he said, Will you go to Solomon the king (for he will not say, No, to you) and put before him my request that he will give me Abishag the Shunammite for a wife?
Aman a donbut in, “Solomon Lengpa kom ah kei thalheng in thu neihin seipeh in ajeh chu aman na thumthum chu na peh jeng ding ahi. Shunem nungahnu Abishag khu ka ji dingin nei thumpeh in” ati.
18 And Bath-sheba said, Good! I will make your request to the king.
Bethsheba in asei jin “Henge nange ma khellin lengpa hengah nahin thumpeh nang’e,” ati.
19 So Bath-sheba went to King Solomon to have talk with him on Adonijah's account. And the king got up to come to her, and went down low to the earth before her; then he took his place on the king's seat and had a seat made ready for the king's mother and she took her place at his right hand.
Hiti chun Bethsheba chu Leng Solomon kom ah Adonijah thil thumchu galhut peh dingin achetan ahi. Lengpa chu anu toh kimuto dingin ahung ding doh tan; anu kom achu agah kun in jana apen ahi. Ama atouna a atoukit chun anu touna ding chu ahin gonpeh diuvin thu apen ajet lang’a chun a tousah tan ahi.
20 Then she said, I have one small request to make to you; do not say, No, to me. And the king said, Say on, my mother, for I will not say, No, to you.
Bethsheba in Solomon jah a, “Thumnom thilneo khat ka neijin nei it peh lou ding ka kinem’e” ati. Hichun Solomon in, “Ipiham Henu seijin ka-itpeh lou ding na het Chula-em,” ati.
21 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother for a wife.
“Achutile nasopipa Adonijah dingin Shunem nungah nu khu pe tan,” ati.
22 Then King Solomon made answer and said to his mother, Why are you requesting me to give Abishag the Shunammite to Adonijah? Take the kingdom for him in addition, for he is my older brother, and Abiathar the priest and Joab, the son of Zeruiah, are on his side.
“Adonijah ding’a iti dana Abishag chu na thum jeng thei ham? Hiche sang a chu, lenggam jeng jong hi nathum jeng leh iti ham? Ama khu ka’u ahi jong nahe in, chuleh Thempu pa Abiather leh Zeruiah chapa Joab jong ama langa pang ahi na hei,” ati.
23 Then King Solomon took an oath by the Lord, saying, May God's punishment be on me if Adonijah does not give payment for these words with his life.
Chuin Solomon Lengpa chu Pakai min in aki hahsel in “Adonijah in hiche athil thum hi athipi louleh Pathen in kei chung ah akhut lam hen lang ei that jeng hen” ati.
24 Now by the living Lord, who has given me my place on the seat of David my father, and made me one of a line of kings, as he gave me his word, truly Adonijah will be put to death this day.
Pakaiyin kapa David Laltouna a ei tousah a ei suhdet peh a, akitepna bang’a ei inchen sah a, hiche Pakai chu hing jing jeng ahibang in, tuni nikho tah a hi Adonijah thitei tei ding ahi,” atin ahi.
25 And King Solomon sent Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and he made an attack on him and put him to death.
Hiti chun Solomon Lengpan Jehoiada chapa Beniah chu athat din thu apen ahile aman jong Adonijah chu that tai.
26 And to Abiathar the priest the king said, Go to Anathoth, to your fields; for death would be your right reward; but I will not put you to death now, because you took up the ark of the Lord God before David my father, and you were with him in all his troubles.
Hijouchun Lengpan Abiather Thempu komma chun, “Anathoth mun’a na in ah ki nungle tan, nang hi athi ding’a lom tah chu na hitai, ahinla tutu hin nathat jeng pong’e, ajeh chu nang in kapa David dingin Pakai Pathen thingkong chu naput peh in chuleh ahahsat na jouse nana thoh khompi in ahi,” ati.
27 So Solomon let Abiathar be priest no longer, so that he might make the word of the Lord come true which he said about the sons of Eli in Shiloh.
Hiti chun Solomon in Abiather chu Pakai Thempu panmun a konin a haisah in, hiti chun Pakai jin Shiloh a Eli chilhahte chung chang Pakai thu phondoh chu a lolhin sah in ahi.
28 And news of this came to Joab; for Joab had been one of Adonijah's supporters, though he had not been on Absalom's side. Then Joab went in flight to the Tent of the Lord, and put his hands on the horns of the altar.
Joab hin Absalom doubolna a chu ana pan louvang in Adonijah doubolna joh chu ana pan pin ahi. Hitia hi Adonijah thi thuhi ajah phat in Pakai ponbuh munthenga maicham saki teni chu aga tuhtan tan ahi.
29 And they said to King Solomon, Joab has gone in flight to the Tent of the Lord and is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, make an attack on him.
Hichehi Solomon Lengpa kom a ahetsah phat un aman Jehoiada chapa Beniah chu athat din asol tan ahi.
30 And Benaiah came to the Tent of the Lord and said to him, The king says, Come out. And he said, No; but let death come to me here. And Benaiah went back to the king and gave him word of the answer which Joab had given.
Beniah chu Pakai ponbuh munthenga chun a chen Joab kom a chun “Hiche munna kon chun hungdoh in Leng thupeh ahi” atin ahileh Joab in “Hungdoh pong’e hikom ah thiden tang’e” ati. Hichun Beniah chu ahung kilen Joab thusei chu Lengpa kom ah asei peh tan ahileh,
31 And the king said, Do as he has said and make an attack on him there, and put his body into the earth; so that you may take away from me and from my family the blood of one put to death by Joab without cause.
“Ama seibang chun boltan” ati. Lengpan “Maicham munna chun hin thatdoh inlang hin vuitan,” ati. “Hichun Joab in ajeh beija thisan asona ho chu kei leh kapa insung ah thepmo na hin sutheng tan te,” ati.
32 And the Lord will send back his blood on his head, because of the attack he made on two men more upright and better than himself, putting them to the sword without my father's knowledge; even Abner, the son of Ner, captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa, the son of Jether, captain of the army of Judah.
“Ama sanga phajo le chonpha jo chuleh kitah jo mini athana phu chu Pakaiyin lethuh nante, ajeh chu aman Israel sepaite lamkai Ner chapa Abner leh Judahh sepaite lamkai Jether chapa amasa atha chu kapa’n ana hetphah lou ahi.
33 So their blood will be on the head of Joab, and on the head of his seed for ever; but for David and his seed and his family and the seat of his kingdom, there will be peace for ever from the Lord.
Athisan phu chu Joab leh ason apah ho chung ah a tonsot'in chu jeng hen lang amavang David leh a chilhah chung leh alal touna chung ah atonsot nin Pakaiyin chamna pejing tahen,” ati.
34 So Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, went up, and falling on him, put him to death; and his body was put to rest in his house in the waste land.
Hichun Jehoiada chapa Beniah chu achekit in ponbuh theng maicham munna chun Joab chu athat in, chule gam mang lam a ain muna chun ahin vuitan ahi.
35 And the king put Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, in his place over the army; and Zadok the priest he put in the place of Abiathar.
Hijou chun Lengpan Beniah chu Joab khel in sepai lamkai jin apansah tan, chuleh Abiather khel in Zadok chu thempu in a pansah tan ahi.
36 Then the king sent for Shimei, and said to him, Make a house for yourself in Jerusalem and keep there and go to no other place.
Chuin Lengpan Shimei chu aga kousah in a seipeh tan ahi, “Jerusalem ahin in kisah inlang cheng tan. Ahinla hiche khopia kona hin mun chom’a potdoh hihin,
37 For be certain that on the day when you go out and go over the stream Kidron, death will overtake you: and your blood will be on your head.
Nang in Kidron phaicham nahin khokhel poupou le hiche nikho nile nathi teitei ding ahi, chule hiche nathisan phu chu nangme le nangman nakipoh ding ahi,” ati.
38 And Shimei said to the king, Very well! as my lord the king has said, so will your servant do. And for a long time Shimei went on living in Jerusalem.
Shimei in, “Na thutan chu adih e ken jong kapu Lengpan nasei dungjuija ka chon ding ahi tai,” ati. Hiti chun Shimei chu Jerusalem ah phat sottah achengin ahi.
39 But after three years, two of the servants of Shimei went in flight to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. And word was given to Shimei that his servants had gone to Gath.
Ahin kum thum jouvin asoh teni ajamdoh lhon in Gath khoa Maacah chapa Achisah kom ah ajam lut lhon tan ahi, Shimei in aum na lhon ahet doh phat in,
40 Then Shimei got up, and making ready his ass, he went to Gath, to Achish, in search of his servants; and he sent and got them from Gath.
Sangan chung ah atoudoh in asoh teni hol in Gath ah achen aga hol doh in amu phat in Jerusalem ah ahin puilut kit tai.
41 And news was given to Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had come back again.
Solomon chun Shimei in Jerusalem a dalhan apotdoh in Gath aga pha in ahung kile kit tai tin aja tan ahi.
42 Then the king sent for Shimei, and said to him, Did I not make you take an oath by the Lord, protesting to you and saying, Be certain that on the day when you go out from here, wherever you go, death will overtake you? and you said to me, Very well!
Hijeh chun Lengpan Shimei chu aga kousah in, “Keiman nangma hi na potdoh louhel ding na potdoh poupouleh na thitei tei ding ahi tia Pakai minna ka kitep sah nahi lou ham? Hiche a chun nang in jong na thutan chu adih’e, na sei dungjuija ka chon ding ahi nati hilou ham?
43 Why then have you not kept the oath of the Lord and the order which I gave you?
Ahileh tua hi nang in ibol’a nang in ka thupeh nit ding’a Pakai minna na kitepna na nit lou ham?” atitan ahi.
44 And the king said to Shimei, You have knowledge of all the evil which you did to David my father; and now the Lord has sent back your evil on yourself.
Lengpan Shemei kom ah asei be’n, “Nang in kapa David chung’a thil gilou tah nana bol chu na geldoh em? Pakaiyin na thilse bol chu na luchung’a chuh sah tahen!
45 But a blessing will be on King Solomon, and the kingdom of David will keep its place before the Lord for ever.
Ahinlah keima Leng Solomon in Pakai phattheiboh chu mu jing ingting chuleh David son khat Pakai anga Lal touna a hin tou jeng hen” ati.
46 So the king gave orders to Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada; and he went out and, falling on him, put him to death. And Solomon's authority over the kingdom was complete.
Hichun lengpan athu apeh dung jui jin Jehoiada chapa Beniah in Shimei chu polang’a a puidoh in athat tai. Hiti hin Lenggam chu Solomon khut noi ah a detchet tan ahi.
