¹And king David was old [and] advanced in age; and they covered him with clothes, but he obtained no warmth.

¹Huan, David a hong upa a, a hong tek mahmah ta; huchiin puanin a khuh jel uh, himahleh lum asa thei tuan hetkei.

²And his servants said to him, Let there be found for my lord the king a young virgin; and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get warm.

²Huchiin, a sikhaten a kiangah, ka pu uh kumpipa adingin nungak zong le ungla: Kumpipa kiang chinah om gige henla, kem leh; huan, na ang sungah hong lum henla, ka pu uh Kumpipan lum a hon sathei ding hi, a chi ua.

³And they sought for a fair damsel throughout the territory of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.

³Huchiin, Israel gam tengteng ah nungak melhoih a zong ua, Shunam mi Abisag a vamu ua, Kumpipa kiangah a pi uh.

⁴And the damsel was very fair; and cherished the king, and ministered to him; but the king knew her not.

⁴Huai nungak a mel a hoih mahmah; Kumpipa a kema, a nektak a bawl sak sek hi; himahleh Kumpipan a kithuahpih kei.

⁵And Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king; and he provided himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.

⁵Huchiin, Hagith tapa Adonija in, kei Kumpipa a pang ding keive, chiin a kingai thupi mahmaha: kangtalai leh sakol tungtuang mite, mi sawmnga ama a tai dingte toh a kisa saka.

⁶And his father had not grieved him at any time in saying, Why doest thou so? and he was also a very comely man; and [his mother] bore him after Absalom.

⁶A pan lah chiklaiin leng, bang dia hichibanga hih na hia? Chiin a lungkhamsak ngeingal keia; huan, amah lah mel hoih mahmah ahi ngala, Absalom sang ahi.

⁷And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest; and they helped Adonijah and followed [him].

⁷Aman Zerui tapa Joab leh siampu Abiathar a thu a donga: amau Adonija lamah a pang ua, amah a panpih jel uh.

⁸But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men whom David had, were not with Adonijah.

⁸Siampu Zadok te, Jehoiada tapa Benai te, jawlnei Nathan te, Simei te, Rei te leh David pawla mi hangsante bel Adonija lamah a pang kei uh.

⁹And Adonijah sacrificed sheep and oxen and fatted cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by En-rogel, and invited all his brethren, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah, the king's servants;

⁹Huan, Adonija in belamte, bawngtalte, gan vak thaute Zoholet suangah a gou a, huai bel En-rogel kiang china om ahi; huan, kumpipa tapa, a unaute tengteng leh, Juda gama Kumpipa pipente tengteng achial a.

¹⁰but Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he did not invite.

¹⁰Jawlnei Nathan te, Benai te, mi hangsante leh a unaupa Solomon bel achial kei hi.

¹¹And Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith is king, and David our lord does not know [it]?

¹¹Huchiin, Nathan in Solomon nu Batseba kiangah, Hagith tapa Adonija I pu David theihlouh in vaihawmin a om chih za lou na hi maw?

¹²And now, come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon.

¹²Huchiin nang bitna ding leh na tapa Solomon bitna ding kon na hilh ding.

¹³Go and get thee in to king David, and say to him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear to thy handmaid saying, Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne? why then does Adonijah reign?

¹³Kumpipa David kiangah valut inla, a kiangah, Aw Toupa, ka pu, na sikhanu kiangah na tapa Solomon, ka nungah a hong lal ngeingei sina, amah ka laltutphah ah a tu ngei sin hi, chiin na kichiam ahi kei maw? Bang achia Adonija in vaihawm ahia? Va chi dih.

¹⁴Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee and confirm thy words.

¹⁴Ngaiin, Kumpipa na vahoupih laitakin ken leng ka honjui lut tei dinga, na thugen ka honhihkip pih ding chiin a gen a.

¹⁵And Bathsheba went in to the king into the chamber; and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered to the king.

¹⁵Huan, Batseba Kumpipa kiangah indan ah a valuta; Kumpipa bel a upa mahmah taa, Shunam mi Abisag in Kumpipa nektak ana bawla.

¹⁶And Bathsheba bowed and did obeisance to the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?

¹⁶Huan, Batseba in Kumpipa kunin chibai a buka. Huan, Kumpipan, bang na deih a? ana chi a.

¹⁷And she said to him, My lord, thou hast sworn by Jehovah thy God to thy handmaid, [saying,] Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.

¹⁷Huan, aman, Pu aw, Toupa na Pathian min louin na sikhanu kiangah, na tapa Solomon ka nungin a hong lal ngeingei ding, amah ka laltutphah ah hong tu ding, chiin na na kichiam khina.

¹⁸And now behold, Adonijah is king; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest it not.

¹⁸Ngaiin, tuin Adonija lah a lal a; nang ka pu toupan lah na theikei a;

¹⁹And he has sacrificed oxen and fatted cattle and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the sons of the king and Abiathar the priest and Joab the captain of the host; but Solomon thy servant has he not invited.

¹⁹Bawngtalte, gan vak thaute, belamte a gou liapluapa, kumpipa tapate tengteng leh, siampu Abiathar leh, sepaih heutu Joab te achiala, na sikha Solomon bel achial kei.

²⁰And thou, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.

²⁰Huchiin, pu aw, Toupa nunga a laltutphaha kua hongtu ding ahia chih na gen chiangin, Israelte tengteng mit nang ka pu, toupa, na tungah a tu chiat ahi.

²¹Otherwise it shall come to pass when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be counted offenders.

²¹Huchilouin jaw hichi ahi ding, pu aw, toupa apute kianga a ihmut sam hun chiangin, kei leh ka tapa Solomon thil hihkhialin a honsep mai sin uh ahi, a chi a.

²²And behold, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.

²²Huan, ngaiin, huchia kumpipa a houpih lai takin, jawlnei Nathan a valut teia.

²³And they told the king saying, Behold, Nathan the prophet. And when he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.

²³Endih, jawlnei Nathan a hong chiin kumpipa a hilh ua. Huan, kumpipa kiang a vatunin, kumpipa maah a maia lei siin a khupboha.

²⁴And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne?

²⁴Huan, Nathan in, Toupa aw, pu aw, ka nungah Adonija a lal dinga, ka laltutphah ah a tu ding na chi maw?

²⁵For he is gone down this day, and has sacrificed oxen and fatted cattle and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the king's sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah!

²⁵Tuniin a kuan suka, bawngtalte, gan vak thaute, belamte a gou zengzunga, kumpipa tapa tengteng, sepaih heutute, siampu Abiathar te achial a; huan, ngaiin, a ne un a dawn khawm ua, Pathianin kumpipa Adonija humbit hen, a chi uhi.

²⁶But me, [even] me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, he has not invited.

²⁶Himahleh kei na sikha ngei leh, siampu Zadok leh, Jehoiada tapa Benai leh na sikha Solomon te jaw hon chial kei hi.

²⁷Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not shewn to thy servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?

²⁷Hiai toupa ka pu thu a hih a hih ngal leh toupa ka puin a nunga laltutphaha tu dingpa a kua pen ahia chih na sikhate na na hilh nai lou na hi ding maw? a chi a.

²⁸Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.

²⁸Huchiin kumpipa David in a dawnga, Bat-seba honsap sak dih ua, a chi a. Huan, kumpipa kiangah a vahoh a, kumpipa maah ava dinga.

²⁹And the king swore, and said, [As] Jehovah liveth, who has redeemed my soul out of all distress,

²⁹Huan, kumpipa a kichiama, lungjinna tengtenga ka hinna humbitpa Toupa hinna louin,

³⁰even as I swore to thee by Jehovah the God of Israel, saying, Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.

³⁰Na kianga Toupa Israel te Pathian min loua, na tapa Solomon ka nungin a hong lal ngeingei ding, ka sikin ka laltutphah ah a hongtu sin hi, chia ka kichiam bangbangin, tuniin leng ka hih ding, achia.

³¹And Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.

³¹Huchiin, Bat-seba bel a maia lei siin a khupboha, kumpipa chibai a buka, ka pu, kumpipa David khantawnin dam thek hen, a chi a.

³²And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.

³²Huan, kumpipa David in, siampu Zadok leh, jawlnei Nathan leh Jehoiada tapa Benai hon vasap sak dih ua, a chi a, Huan, kumpipa ma lamah a vapai ua.

³³And the king said to them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon;

³³Huan, kumpipan a kiang uah, na pu uh sikhate pi unla, ka tapa Solomon keimah sabengtung mahmah ah tuangsak unla, Gihon mun ah va pi suk un:

³⁴and let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel; and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, Long live king Solomon!

³⁴Huan, siampu Zadok leh jawlnei Nathan in Israelte kumpipa dingin sathau vanilh heh: Huan, pengkul mut unla, Pathianin kumpipa Solomon humbit hen, chi un.

³⁵And ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit on my throne; for he shall reign in my stead, and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.

³⁵Huchiin amah na jui tou ding ua, ka laltutphah ah a hongtu ding hi; amah lah ka sika lal ding ahi ngala: huan, amah Israel gam leh Juda gam heutu dinga ka seh ahi, a chi a.

³⁶And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king and said, Amen: Jehovah, the God of my lord the king, say so too.

³⁶Huan, Jehoiada tapa Benai in kumpipa a dawnga, Amen; Toupa, ka toupa kumpipa Pathianin leng pha sa hen.

³⁷As Jehovah has been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.

³⁷Toupa ka pu, toupa kianga a om sak bangin, Solomon kiangah leng om sam jel henla ka pu kumpipa David laltutphah sangin a laltutphah hih thupi jaw hen, a chi a.

³⁸And Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David's mule, and brought him to Gihon.

³⁸Huchiin, siampu Zadok te, jawlnei Nathan te, Jehoiada tapa Benai te, Keret mite, Pelet mite a hoh suk ua, Solomon David sabengtung tungah a tuang sak ua, Gihon mun ah a pi uh.

³⁹And Zadok the priest took the horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, Long live king Solomon!

³⁹Huan, siampu Zadok in puanin akipan sathau koihna a laa, Solomon a nilh hi. Huan, pengkul a mut ua, huchiin mi tengtengin, Pathianin kumpipa Solomon humbit hen, a chi ua.

⁴⁰And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them.

⁴⁰Huan, mipite tengtengin amah a jui tou ua, mipiten tamngai te a tum ua, a kipak mahmah ua, a husa ging un lei a kheng khama.

⁴¹And Adonijah and all the guests that were with him heard [it] as they were finishing their repast; and Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, and he said, Wherefore this noise of the city in an uproar?

⁴¹Huan, Adonija leh chialte a kianga omte tengtengin ankuang a lui khit un a ja ua. Huan, Joab in pengkul mut ging a jakin, khopi sunga husa ging juajua bang chi dan ahia leh? a chi a.

⁴²While he yet spoke, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came; and Adonijah said [to him], Come in; for thou art a valiant man, and bringest good news.

⁴²Huchia a chih lai takin, ngaiin, siampu Abiathar tapa Jonathan a vahoh a: Adonija in, Hongpai dih ve, nang jaw mi kizen na hi a, tanchin hoih na hontun mahmah ding, a na chi a.

⁴³And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Indeed, our lord king David has made Solomon king.

⁴³Huan, Jonathan in a dawnga, Adonija kiangah, tun keng e, pu aw, kumpipa David in Solomon kumpipa dinga bawlkhin hi;

⁴⁴And the king has sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and they have caused him to ride upon the king's mule;

⁴⁴Amah toh siampu Zadok te, jawlnei Nathan te, Jehoiada tapa Benai te, Keret mite, Pelet mite kumpipan a sawla, kumpipa sabengtung tungah a tuang sak uh:

⁴⁵and Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon; and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city is in an uproar. This is the noise which ye have heard.

⁴⁵Huan, siampu Zadok leh jawlnei Nathan in Gihon munah kumpipa dingin sathau a nilh ua: huai akipanin nuamsa takin a pai tou ua, huaiin khopi sung a thawn juajua hi. Na husa jak uh huai ahi,

⁴⁶And also Solomon is sitting on the throne of the kingdom.

⁴⁶Huan, Solomon bel gam laltutphah ah a tuta hi.

⁴⁷And moreover the king's servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, Thy God make the name of Solomon more excellent than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne! And the king bowed himself on the bed.

⁴⁷Huan, kumpipa sikhate, Na Pathianin na min sangin Solomon min hihhoih jaw henla, na laltutphah sangin a laltutphah hih thupi jaw heh, chia ka pu uh kumpipa David kipahpih dingin a hoh ua; huan, kumpipa lupna siin a kuna.

⁴⁸And also thus said the king: Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who has given one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it.

⁴⁸Huan, kumpipan leng hichiin a chi, Toupa Israelte Pathian, tuni mahmaha ka laltutphaha tu ding hon seppa phatin om hen, ka mit mahmahin a muta hi, achia, achia.

⁴⁹And all Adonijah's guests were afraid, and rose up and went every man his way.

⁴⁹Huan, Adonija mi chialte tengtengin a lauta ua, a thou ua, amau lampi pi uah a pai vek uh.

⁵⁰And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose and went and caught hold of the horns of the altar.

⁵⁰Huan, Adonija in Solomon a kihtaa, a thou a, maitam ki a valen a.

⁵¹And it was told Solomon saying, Behold, Adonijah fears king Solomon; for behold, he has caught hold of the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear to me this day that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.

⁵¹Huan, ngaiin, Adonija in kumpipa Solomon a kihta a; kumpipa Solomon in a sikha namsau a hihlum lou dingin ka kiangah kichiam phot heh chiin maitam ki a len hi, chiin Solomon a hilh ua.

⁵²And Solomon said, If he be a worthy man, there shall not one of his hairs fall to the earth; but if wickedness be found in him, he shall die.

⁵²Huan, Solomon in, mi ginom tak a hih a suklat peuhmah leh a sam zang khat leng leiah a ke kei ding; thulimlouhna a nei chih theihna om leh a si ding, achia.Huchiin kumpipa Solomon in mi a sawla, maitam akipan a vapi suk uh. Huan, a vahoha, kumpipa Solomon chibai a buka: huan, Solomon in a kiangah, Na inah paita in, ana chi hi

⁵³And king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon; and Solomon said to him, Go to thy house.

⁵³Huchiin kumpipa Solomon in mi a sawla, maitam akipan a vapi suk uh. Huan, a vahoha, kumpipa Solomon chibai a buka: huan, Solomon in a kiangah, Na inah paita in, ana chi hi
