1And it came to pass after this that David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up into one of the cities of Judah? And Jehovah said to him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
1Huan, hichi ahi a, huai nung in David in, Juda gam a a koi hiam ah ka hohtou diam? chi in TOUPA a thu a dong a. Huan, TOUPAN a kiang ah, Hohtou in aw, a chi a. Huan, David in, Akoi ah ahia ka hohtouh ding? a chi a, Huan, aman, Hebron ah, a chi a.
2So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jizreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
2Huchi in David huai lai ah a hohtou a, a zite nih Jezreel mi Ahinaom leh Karmel mi Nabal zi Abigail te toh.
3And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household; and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
3Huan, David in a kiang a mi om tengteng a pitou a, mi chih a inkuante chiat utoh, Hebron khua khawng ah a omta uhi.
4And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, It is the men of Jabesh-Gilead that have buried Saul.
4Huan, Juda gam a mite a vahoh ua, Juda mite tung a kumpipa ding in David sathau a nilh uh. Huchi in, Saula vuimite Jabes-gilead mite ahi uh, chi in David a hilh uh.
5And David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-Gilead, and said to them, Blessed be ye of Jehovah, that ye have shewn this kindness to your lord, to Saul, and have buried him!
5Huchi in Jabes-gilead mite kiang ah David in mi a sawl a, a kiang uah, Na pu, na pu uh Saula na hehpihdan uh hihlang a na navui ziak un TOUPAN hon vualzawl hen.
6And now Jehovah shew kindness and faithfulness to you; and I also will requite you this good, because ye have done this thing.
6Huchi in TOUPAN na tunguah chitna leh thutak langsak henla: hiai thil khawng na hih ziak un ken leng na chitman uh ka hon thuk ding.
7And now let your hands be strong, and be ye valiant; for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
7Huchi in na khutte uh honghat henla, hangsan tak in om un: na pu uh Saula lah a sita ngal a, huan, Juda chiten atung ua kumpipa ding in lah sathau a hon nilh khinta uh, chi in.
8And Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
8Huan, Ner tapa Abner, Saula sepaihte heutu in, Saula tapa Isboseth Mahanaim ah a pia;
9and made him king over Gilead, and over the Asshurites, and over Jizreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
9Gilead tungah, Asur tungah, Jezreel tungah, Ephraim tungah, Israel tengteng tungah kumpipa in a bawlta hi.
10Ishbosheth Saul's son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. However, the house of Judah followed David.
10(Saula tapa Isboseth Israel tunga vaihawm a pat lai in kum sawmli a upa ahi a, kum nih vai a hawm hi. ) Himahleh Juda miten David pen a zui uh.
11And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
11David in Hebron a Juda chite tung a vai a na hawmna kum sagih leh kha guk ahi khin a.
12And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
12Huan, Ner tapa Abner leh Saula tapa Isboseth sikhate Mahanaim a kipan a pawt khia ua, Gibeon ah a pai uh.
13And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out. And they met together by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, these on the one side of the pool, and those on the other side of the pool.
13Huan, Zerui tapa Joab leh David sikhate a paikhia ua, Gibeon dil ah a kituak ua; huchi in pawl khat pen dil gal khatlam ah a tu ua, pawl khat pen dil gal langkhat ah.
14And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise and make sport before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
14Huan, Abner in Joab kiang ah, Tangvalte hong kuan uhenla, I ma uah hong kisual him le uh ake, a chi a.
15And they arose and went over by number, twelve for Benjamin, and for Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
15Huan, Joab in, Hongkuan le uh ake, a chi a. Huchi in a kuan ua, a zahchiang sep in a galkah phei ua, Benjamin chi, Saula tapa Isboseth lam a pang sawm leh nih, huan David sikha sawm leh nih.
16And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and [thrust] his sword in his fellow's side, and they fell down together. And that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is by Gibeon.
16A langte chiat uh a lu chiat uah a kiman ua, amau tumte chiat namsau in a nak uah a kisun chiat ua; huchi in a puk khawm vek ua: huaiziak in huai mun Helkath- hazurim a chi ua, huai bel Gibeon ah a om hi.
17And the battle that day was very severe; and Abner and the men of Israel were routed before the servants of David.
17Huchi in huai ni a a kisual uh zaw a thupi mahmah hi; huan, Abner leh Israel mite David sikhate lakah a zahlakta uhi.
18And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel. Now Asahel was swift of foot, as one of the gazelles that are in the field.
18Huan, huai ah Zerui tapate thum, Joab te, Abisai te, Asahel te a om ua: Asahel bel zukpi bang ngial a ngalhat ahi.
19And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from behind Abner.
19Huchi in Asahel in Abner a delh a; Abner a delh taklam hiam veilam hiam ah a pial hetkei a a delh vengveng hi.
20Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he said, I am.
20Huchi in Abner a lehngat a, Nang na hi maw Asahel? a chi a. Huan, aman a dawng a, Kei hi e, a chi a.
21And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside, to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay hold of one of the young men, and take for thyself his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from following him.
21Huan, Abner in a kiang ah, Na taklam hiam, na veilam hiam ah pial inla, tangval khat man inla, a kigalvanna laksak in, a chi a. Himahleh Asahel in amah a delh a pialsan nuam tuankei.
22And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: why should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?
22Huan, Abner in Asahel kiang ah, Hon pialsan in; Bangdia hon sunpuk ding ka hia? Na unaupa Joab mel ka mu ngam dia hia? a chi nawn a.
23But he refused to turn aside; therefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him in the belly, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place. And it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
23Himahleh a pial nuam tuankei a: huaiziak in Abner in a teipi tawlam in a gil ah a sun a, teipi a nunglam ah a paisuak a, huai ah a puk vialvual a, huai mun ah a sita hi; huan, hichi ahi a, Asahel a puk a a sihna mun hongtung peuhmah huailai ah a khawl guih zel uh.
24And Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner; and the sun went down when they came to the hill of Ammah, which is before Giah on the way to the wilderness of Gibeon.
24Himahleh Joab leh Abisai in Abner a delhzui ua; huan, Gibeon gamdai lampi a Gia chin Ama tang a tun un ni a tumta.
25And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of a hill.
25Huan, Benjamin suante Abner kiang ah a kikaikhawm ua, pawl khat in a kibawl ua, mualvum ah a va dingta uh.
26And Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? and how long shall it be ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?
26Huchi in Abner in Joab a sam a, Namsau in a vat gige sin ahia? A tawplam chiang in a hong lungkhamhuai mahmah ding chih na theikei maw? bangtan ahia mipite a unaute uh delh kik nawn ding a hilhlou a na om sin? a chi a.
27And Joab said, [As] God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
27Huan, Joab in, Pathian hinna lou in ka gen hi, bangmah na genlou hile chin zingchiang a kipan a mipite paimang khin ding ua, a unaute uh delhlou ding hi ve un, a chi a.
28And Joab blew the trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither did they fight any more.
28Huchi in Joab in pengkul a hon mut a, mipite a ding dedup ua, Israel mite a delhta kei ua, a sual nawnta kei uh.
29And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.
29Huchi in Abner leh a mite Arab a ken paisuak in huai zan in zankhua in a pai uh; huan, Jordan a kan ua, Bithron a kantan ua, Mahanaim a tung uh.
30And Joab returned from following Abner, and gathered all the people together; and there lacked of David's servants nineteen men, and Asahel.
30Huan, Joab bel Abner delh a kik nawnta a; huan, mipi tengteng a kaih khawm vek leh David heute sawm leh kua leh Asahel a kimta kei ua.
31And the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, three hundred and sixty men, who had died.
31David heuten bel Benjamin mite leh Abner mite zathum leh sawmguk a hihlum uh.Huchi in Asahel luang a la ua, Bethlehem a a pa han ah a vui uh. Huan, Joab leh a mite zankhua in apai ua, Hebron a tun un khua a vak hi.
32And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
32Huchi in Asahel luang a la ua, Bethlehem a a pa han ah a vui uh. Huan, Joab leh a mite zankhua in apai ua, Hebron a tun un khua a vak hi.
