1 Kings 2
1 And the days of David drew nigh that he should die, and he charged his son Solomon, saying:
David kah khohnin loh a duek ham a paan coeng dogah a capa Solomon te a uen tih,
2 I am going the way of all flesh: take thou courage, and shew thyself a man.
“Kai tah diklai boeih kah longpuei ah ka caeh dongah huel uh lamtah hlang la om laeh.
3 And keep the charge of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and observe his ceremonies, and his precepts, and judgments, and testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses: that thou mayest understand all thou dost, and whithersoever thou shalt turn thyself:
Moses kah olkhueng dongah a daek bangla na Pathen BOEIPA kah a kuek te tah, a longpuei ah pongpa ham khaw, a khosing, a olpaek neh a laitloeknah khaw, a olphong khaw ngaithuen ham tuem. Te daengah ni na saii boeih neh na hoihaeng boeih te na cangbam thai eh.
4 That the Lord may confirm his words, which he hath spoken of me, saying: If thy children shall take heed to their ways, and shall walk before me in truth, with all their heart, and with all their soul, there shall not be taken away from thee a man on the throne of Israel.
Te daengah ni BOEIPA loh a ol te a thoh eh. Te te kai taengah a thui coeng tih, “Kamah mikhmuh kah a longpuei ah, oltak la a thinko boeih neh, a hinglu boeih neh pongpa ham khaw na ca rhoek loh a ngaithuen mak atah, “Na hlang he Israel ngolkhoel dong lamloh khoe boeh,” ti saeh.
5 Thou knowest also what Joab the son of Sarvia hath done to me, what he did to the two captains of the army of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether: whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war on his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.
Te phoeiah Zeruiah capa Joab loh kai soah a saii te khaw, Israel caempuei kah mangpa rhoi, Ner capa Abner taeng neh Jether capa Amasa taengah a saii te khaw na ming bal coeng. Amih rhoi te a ngawn tih rhoepnah khuiah caemtloek thii a cawk pah. Caemtloek thii te a cinghen kah a cihin neh a kho kah a khokhom dongah a hluk.
6 Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoary head go down to hell in peace. (Sheol h7585)
Te dongah na cueihnah bangla saii lamtah a sampok te Saelkhui ah ngaimong la suntlak sak boeh. (Sheol h7585)
7 But shew kindness to the sons of Berzellai the Galaadite, and let them eat at thy table: for they met me when I fled from the face of Absalom thy brother.
Giladi kah Barzillai koca rhoek taengah tah sitlohnah tueng sak lamtah na maya Absalom mikhmuh lamkah ka yong vaengah kai taengah a tawn uh van dongah na caboei dongkah aka ca taengah om uh saeh.
8 Thou hast also with thee Semei the son of Gera the son of Jemini of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse, when I went to the camp: but because he came down to meet me when I passed over the Jordan, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying: I will not kill thee with a sword:
Na taengkah Bahurim Benjamin koca Gera capa Shimei te ne. Anih loh kai thae m'phoei thil he rhunkhuennah neh n'daeh. Mahanaim la ka caeh nah hnin vaengah kai doe ham amah te Jordan la ha suntla. Tedae anih taengah BOEIPA rhangneh ka toemngam tih, “Nang te cunghang neh kan duek sak mahpawh,” ka ti nah.
9 Do not thou hold him guiltless. But thou art a wise man, and knowest what to do with him, and thou shalt bring down his grey hairs with blood to hell. (Sheol h7585)
Tedae nang hlang cueih loh anih taengah hmil boeh. Anih taengah metla saii ham khaw na ming bitni. A sampok te saelkhui ah a thii neh suntlak sak,” a ti nah. (Sheol h7585)
10 So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
Te phoeiah David te a napa taengah khoem uh tih David khopuei ah a up.
11 And the days that David reigned in Israel, were forty years: in Hebron he reigned seven years, in Jerusalem thirty-three.
Israel sokah David a manghai tue he kum sawmli lo. Hebron ah kum rhih manghai tih Jerusalem ah kum sawmthum kum thum manghai.
12 And Solomon sat upon the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was strengthened exceedingly.
Solomon he a napa David kah ngolkhoel dongah a ngol tangloeng daengah a ram khaw rhap cikngae.
13 And Adonias the son of Haggith came to Bethsabee the mother of Solomon. And she said to him: Is thy coming peaceable? he answered: Peaceable.
Te vaengah Haggith capa Adonijah te Solomon manu Bathsheba taengah ha pawk tih, “Sading la na pawk ngawn nama?” a ti nah hatah, “Sading la ue,” a ti nah.
14 And he added: I have a word to speak with thee. She said to him: Speak. And he said:
Te phoeiah, “Nang ham ol pakhat ka khueh,” a ti nah hatah, “Thui saw,” a ti nah.
15 Thou knowest that the kingdom was nine, and all Israel had preferred me to be their king: but the kingdom is transferred, and is become my brother’s: for it was appointed him by the Lord.
Te dongah, “Kai hamla ram he om coeng tih ka manghai ham khaw Israel pum loh kai taengla a maelhmai a hooi te na ming. Tedae BOEIPA lamloh anih taengla a pha sak dongah ram he hoilae uh tih ka mana taengla pawk.
16 Now therefore I ask one petition of thee: turn not away my face. And she said to him: Say on.
Tedae nang taeng lamkah te huithuinah pakhat ni kam bih coeng. Ka maelhmai he mangthuung tak boeh,” a ti nah vaengah amah te, “Thui lah, thui lah,” a ti nah.
17 And he said: I pray thee speak to king Solomon (for he cannot deny thee any thing) to give me Abisag the Sunamitess to wife.
Te dongah, “Manghai Solomon te thui pah mai, nang maelhmai te mangthuung tak aih mahpawh. Shunam nu Abishag te kai taengah yuu la m'pae mai saeh,” a ti nah.
18 And Bethsabee said: Well, I will speak for thee to the king.
Bathsheba loh, “Then coeng, nang ham te manghai taengah ka thui bitni,” a ti nah.
19 Then Bethsabee came to king Solomon, to speak to him for Adonias: and the king arose to meet her, and bowed to her, and sat down upon his throne: and a throne was set for the king’s mother, and she sat on his right hand.
Te dongah Adonijah yueng te a taengah thui pah ham Bathsheba te manghai Solomon taengla kun. Manghai khaw anih doe ham thoo tih a taengah a bakop pah. A ngolkhoel dongah a ngol neh manghai manu ham ngolkhoel a phaih pah tih a bantang ah a ngol pah.
20 And she said to him: I desire one small petition of thee, do not put me to confusion. And the king said to her: My mother, ask: for I must not turn away thy face.
Te phoeiah, “Nang taeng lamkah huithuinah te pakhat ca he kam bih ka maelhmai he mangthuung tak boeh,” a ti nah. Manghai loh anih te, “A nu bih saw, na maelhmai te ka mangthuung tak mahpawh,” a ti nah.
21 And she said: Let Abisag the Sunamitess be given to Adonias thy brother to wife.
Te dongah, “Shunam nu Abishag te na maya Adonijah kah yuu la pae mai,” a ti nah.
22 And king Solomon answered, and said to his mother: Why dost thou ask Abisag the Sunamitess for Adonias? ask for him also the kingdom: for he is my elder brother, and hath Abiathar the priest, and Joab the son of Sarvia.
Te dongah manghai Solomon loh a manu te a doo tih, “Balae tih Adonijah ham Shunam nu Abishag te na bih. Ka manuca te kai lakah a ham dongah ram he khaw anih ham bih bal saw. Anih ham phoeiah khosoih Abiathar ham neh Zeruiah capa Joab ham khawm ta,” a ti nah.
23 Then king Solomon swore by the Lord, saying: So and so may God do to me, and add more, if Adonias hath not spoken this word against his own life.
Te phoeiah manghai Solomon loh BOEIPA dongah a toemngam tih, “Pathen loh kai taengah saii van saeh lamtah he ol he a hinglu neh a thui pawt atah Adonijah khaw koei van saeh.
24 And now as the Lord liveth, who hath established me, and placed me upon the throne of David my father, and who hath made me a house, as he promised, Adonias shall be put to death this day.
BOEIPA kah hingnah loh kai n'thoh tih kai he n'ngol sak coeng. A pa David kah ngolkhoel dongah kai n'ngol sak tih a thui bangla ka im a thoh coeng. Adonijah te tihnin ah duek kuekluek saeh,” a ti nah.
25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Banaias the son of Joiada, who slew him, and he died.
Te phoeiah manghai Solomon loh Jehoiada capa Benaiah kut te a tueih tih anih sola a cuuk thil dongah Adonijah te duek.
26 And the king said also to Abiathar the priest: Go to Anathoth to thy lands, for indeed thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou didst carry the ark of the Lord God before David my father, and hast endured trouble in all the troubles my father endured.
Manghai loh khosoih Abiathar te khaw, “Nang bang hlang kah dueknah ngawn tah, Anathoth kah namah khohmuen la mael laeh. Tedae tihnin ah he nang kan duek sak mahpawh. A pa David mikhmuh ah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah thingkawng te na koh tih a cungkuem neh a pa a phaep uh vaengah na phaep puei dongah,” a ti nah.
27 So Solomon cast out Abiathar, from being the priest of the Lord, that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled, which he spoke concerning the house of Deli in Silo.
Solomon loh Abiathar te BOEIPA kah khosoih la aka om lamloh a khoe vaengah tah Shiloh kah Eli imkhui ah a thui BOEIPA ol te soep.
28 And the news came to Joab, because Joab had turned after Adonias, and had not turned after Solomon: and Joab fled into the tabernacle of the Lord and laid hold on the horn of the altar.
Te vaengah olthang loh Joab te a paan. Joab he Adonijah taengla buung tih Absalom taengah buung pawh. Te dongah Joab te BOEIPA kah dap la rhaelrham tih hmueihtuk ki te a tuuk.
29 And it was told king Solomon, that Joab was fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and was by the altar: and Solomon sent Banaias the son of Joiada, saying: Go, kill him.
Tedae manghai Solomon taengah, “BOEIPA kah dap khuila Joab rhaelrham tih hmueihtuk taengah om ke,” tila a puen pah. Te dongah Solomon loh Jehoiada capa Benaiah te a tueih tih, “Cet lamtah anih te cuuk thil,” a ti nah.
30 And Banaias came to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said to him: Thus saith the king: Come forth. And he said: I will not come forth, but here I will die. Banaias brought word back to the king, saying: Thus saith Joab, and thus he answered me.
Benaiah khaw BOEIPA kah dap khuila kun tih a taengah, “Manghai loh he ni a thui, ha coe laeh,” a ti nah. Tedae, “Pawh heah ka duek eh?,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Benaiah loh manghai te ol a mael tih, “He ni Joab loh a thui tih he tlam ni kai n'doo,” a ti nah.
31 And the king said to him: Do as he hath said: and kill him, and bury him, and thou shalt remove the innocent blood which hath been shed by Joab, from me, and from the house of my father.
Manghai loh anih te, “A thui bangla saii laeh, Anih te cuuk thil lamtah up laeh. Joab loh lunglilungla la thii a long sak te kai taeng lamkah neh a pa imkhui lamloh hnut laeh.
32 And the Lord shall return his blood upon his own head, because he murdered two men, just and better than himself: and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing it, Abner the son of Ner, general of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, general of the army of Juda.
Amah lakah ah aka dueng tih aka then hlang panit te a cuuk thil dongah amah thii te BOEIPA loh a lu dongah mael sak saeh. A pa David kah a ming pawt ah Israel kah caempuei mangpa Ner capa Abner khaw, Judah kah caempuei mangpa Jether capa Amasa te khaw cunghang neh a ngawn bal.
33 And their blood shall return the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever. But to David and his seed and his house, and to his throne be peace for ever from the Lord.
Amih rhoi thii te Joab lu so neh a tiingan soah kumhal duela mael saeh. Tedae David so neh a tiingan soah khaw, a imkhui so neh a ngolkhoel soah khaw BOEIPA taeng lamkah ngaimongnah he kumhal duela om saeh,” a ti nah.
34 So Banaias the son of Joiada went up, and setting upon him slew him, and he was buried in his house in the desert.
Te dongah Jehoiada capa Benaiah te cet tih anih te a cuuk thil. Anih te a duek sak phoeiah khosoek kah amah im ah a up.
35 And the king appointed Banaias the son of Joiada in his room over the army, and Sadoc the priest he put in the place of Abiathar.
Manghai loh anih yueng la caempuei soah Jehoiada capa Benaiah te a khueh tih manghai loh Abiathar yueng la Zadok te khosoih a paek.
36 The king also sent, and called for Semei, and said to him: Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there: and go not out from thence any whither.
Manghai loh Shimei te a tah tih a khue. Te phoeiah anih te, “Jerusalem ah namah ham im sa lamtah khosa pahoi, tedae te lamloh melam, melam khaw mop boeh.
37 For on what day soever thou shalt go out, and shalt pass over the brook Cedron, know that thou shalt be put to death: thy blood shall be upon thy own head:
Tedae na mop hnin te om tih Kidron soklong te na kat vaengah na ming rhoe na ming bitni. Na duek rhoe na duek vetih na thii te namah lu ah ni a tlak eh?,” a ti nah.
38 And Semei said to the king: The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Semei dwelt in Jerusalem, many days.
Shimei loh manghai taengah, “Ka boei manghai kah a thui bangla ol then te na sal loh a ngai van bitni,” a ti nah. Te dongah Shimei khaw Jerusalem ah kum a yet kho a sak.
39 And it came to pass after three years, that the servants of Semei ran away to Achis the son of Maacha the king of Geth: and it was told Semei that his servants were gone to Geth.
Tedae kum thum a bawtnah te a pha vaengah tah Shimei kah sal rhoi te Gath manghai Maakah capa Akhish taengla yong rhoi. Te dongah Shimei taengla puen tih, “Na sal rhoi te Gath ah om ke,” a ti nah.
40 And Semei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Achis to Geth to seek his servants, and he brought them out of Geth.
Te dongah Shimei te thoo tih a laak te a khih. Te phoeiah a sal rhoi toem ham Gath kah Akhish taengla cet. Shimei te cet tih a sal rhoi te Gath lamloh a khuen.
41 And it was told Solomon that Semei had gone from Jerusalem to Geth, and was come back.
Tedae Shimei Jerusalem lamloh Gath la cet tih a mael te Solomon taengla a puen pah.
42 And sending he called for him, and said to him: Did I not protest to thee by the Lord, and tell thee before: On what day soever thou shalt go out and walk abroad any whither, know that thou shalt die? And thou answeredst me: The word that I have heard is good.
Te dongah manghai loh Shimei te a tah tih a khue. Te phoeiah anih te, “BOEIPA dongah nang kan toemngam moenih a? Nang te kan rhalrhing sak vaengah, 'Na mop tih melam, melam khaw na caeh hnin ah na duek rhoe na duek ni tila ming rhoe ming laeh,’ ka ti te ta. Kamah taengah, “Ol then te ka hnatun bitni,” na ti.
43 Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the Lord, and the commandment that I laid upon thee?
Te lalah balae tih BOEIPA kah olhlo neh olpaek nang taengah kang uen te na ngaithuen pawh?” a ti nah.
44 And the king said to Semei: Thou knowest all the evil, of which thy heart is conscious, which thou didst to David my father: the Lord hath returned thy wickedness upon thy own head:
Te phoeiah manghai loh Shimei te, “Namah loh boethae cungkuem te na ming, a pa David taengah na saii te na thinko loh a ming. Te dongah na boethae te BOEIPA loh namah lu ah tlak sak saeh.
45 And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord for ever.
Tedae manghai Solomon tah a yoethen tih David kah ngolkhoel khaw kumhal due BOEIPA mikhmuh ah cikngae la om ni,” a ti nah.
46 So the king commanded Banaias the son of Joiada: and he went out and struck him, and he died.
Manghai loh Jehoiada capa Benaiah te a uen coeng dongah cet tih Shimei te a cuuk thil tih a duek sak. Te phoeiah ram he Solomon kut ah cikngae coeng.
