¹Huan, David sih hun a hongnaita a; a tapa Solomon thu a piaa,

¹Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,

²Lei tengteng dan bangin ka pai tei sinta a: huchiin hat takin om inla, pasal pha takin om in;

²I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man;

³Na thilhih peuhmah leh, na kiheina lam peuhmaha na lamzan theihna dingin Mosi dan a gelh bangin, Toupa na Pathianin a lampite jui ding leh a thuseh te, a thupiakte, a vaihawmte leh a thutheihsakte pom dinga thu a piakte jui in:

³And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:

⁴Toupa ka tungtang thua, Na suanten a lungtang tak uleh, a lungsim tak ua ka mitmuha thutaka om dinga a omdan ua a pilvang uleh Israelte laltutphaha tu ding mi na tatlak kei ding uh, chia a gen a hih kip sin ahi.

⁴That the LORD may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel.

⁵Huan, Zerui tapa Joabin a honbawlsdan, Israelte sepaih heutu nih Ner tapa Abner leh, Jether tapa Amasa te a bawldan na thei hi. Huchia a thaha, kilep laia kidou sisan suaha a suaha, a taia a kawnggaka leh a khedap buta kidouna sisan a bansakdan.

⁵Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.

⁶Huchiin pha na sak dan bangin hih inla, a lu a kelsam pou hanah lungmuang takin tum sak ken.

⁶Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace.

⁷Gilead mi Barzilai tate tungah bel hehpihna hihlangin, na dohkana an ummi dingin tel sakin; na unau Absolom akipana ka taimang laiin ka kiangah a hong ngala.

⁷But show kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled because of Absalom thy brother.

⁸Huan, ngaiin Bahurim khuaa mi, Benjamin suan, Ger tapa Simei na kiangah a om a, aman mahanam muna ka hoh laiin hamse hoihlou pi a honloha, himahleh Jordanah hongdawn dingin a hong kuana, hauilaiah, namsauin ka honthatkei ding, chiin Toupa min louin a kiangah ka nakichiam ta hi.

⁸And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him by the LORD, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.

⁹Huchiin mohlou louin jaw khah ken, mi pil na hi ngala; a tungah bang chiin na hih dia chih a hih leh na thei mai ding; a lu a kelsam pou sisan toh hanah na tumsak ding ahi, achia.

⁹Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood.

¹⁰Huan, David bel a pute kiangah a ihmu teitaa, David khopi ah a vui uh.

¹⁰So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.

¹¹Israelte tunga David lal sung bel kum sawmli ahi: Hebron khuaah kum sagih a lal a, Jerusalem khuaah kum sawmthum leh kum thum a lal.

¹¹And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.

¹²Huan, Solomon bel a pa David laltutphah ah a tu a; huchiin a gam nakpi taka hihkipin a hong omta hi.

¹²Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.

¹³Huan, Hagith tapa Adonija bel Solomon nu Bat-seba kiangah a hoha. Aman, hoih lam thua hong na hi maw? achia. Aman, hoih lam thu ah hi e, a chi a.

¹³And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.

¹⁴Huan, na kiangah banghiam gen ding ka nei hi, achi nawn a, aman, gen ve, achi a.

¹⁴He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on.

¹⁵Huan, aman, gam keia a hita chih leh, Israelte tengtengin leng kumpipa dingin kei a hon en thek uh chih na theia: himahleh ka unaupa adingin gam a nahei nawn zota a: Toupa nana seh danin amaha ahi him ahi.

¹⁵And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's: for it was his from the LORD.

¹⁶Tuin thil kahat honnget ding ka nei a, pha honsak sak lou mahmah ken, a chi a, huan, aman a kiangah, gen ve a chi a.

¹⁶And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on.

¹⁷Huan, aman, hehpih takin kumpipa Solomon honhoupihsak inla (nang thu jaw a sel sin ngal kei a). Shunam mi Abisag ji dingin honnei sakin, a chi a.

¹⁷And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, (for he will not say thee nay,) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.

¹⁸Huan, Bat-seba, hile ake, kumpipa ka honna houpihsak ding, achia.

¹⁸And Bathsheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.

¹⁹Huchiin, Bat-seba bel Adonija a dia kumpipa Solomon houpih dingin a kiangah a hohta hi. Huan, kumpipa amah kipahpih dingin a dinga, a maah a kuna, a laltutphah ah a tua, huan, kumpipa nu adingin laltutphah a tungsaka; a taklamah a tu ta hi.

¹⁹Bathsheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand.

²⁰Huchiin, thil khat neu chik petmah ka hon ngen ding; pha honsak lou sak mahmah ken, a chi a. Huan, kumpipan a kiangah ngen ve nu: pha ka honsak lou sak het kei ding, a chi a.

²⁰Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; I pray thee, say me not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say thee nay.

²¹Huan, aman, Shunam mi Abisag na unaupa Adonija ji dingin nei sakin, a chi a.

²¹And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.

²²Huan, kumpipa Solomonin a dawnga, a nu kiangah, bang chidana Shunam mi Abisag pen Adonija dia ngen na hia oi? Gam leng nget sak vanglak tanla; amah ka u a vo oi; amah ading leh siampu Abiathar leh Zerui tapa Joab adingin leng ngen tan la, a chi a.

²²And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.

²³Huchiin, kumpipa Solomonin Toupa min louin, Adonija thil ngetin amah tunga sihna thu gen a hih kei himhim leh Pathianin a lohlohin honloh mai hen huai sanga thupijaw in leng.

²³Then king Solomon sware by the LORD, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life.

²⁴Huchiin, Toupa, a thuchiam banga honhihkip, ka pa David laltutphaha hontusak, inkuan honna phuhkhiaksakppa hinna louin ka gen hi. Adonija tuni mahmahin hihlup ngeingei sing ahi, chiin a kichiamta a.

²⁴Now therefore, as the LORD liveth, which hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me an house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day.

²⁵Huchiin, kumpipa Solomonin Jehoiada tapa Benai a sawla, aman a vasuala, a thatta hi.

²⁵And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died.

²⁶Huan, siampu Abiathar kiangah kumpipan, Anathoth khuaah nang in leh lou ah pai mang in, si pah dia kilawm na hipeuh mah hi: himahleh ka pa David maa Toupa Pathian bawn na najawn sek jiakin leh ka pa haksatna thuakna tengtenga na nathuak sam sek jiakin tuin jaw ka honhihlum tadih kei ding, a chi a.

²⁶And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the LORD God before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.

²⁷Huchiin, Solomonin Abiathar Toupa siampu a hihna a tawpsak a, Toupan Silo khuaa Eli inkuante tungtang thu a gen a tun theihna dingin.

²⁷So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto the LORD; that he might fulfil the word of the LORD, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.

²⁸huan, huai thu Joab kiang a hongtunga, Joab bel Absalom lama pang jaw ahi keinaa, Adonija lama pang lah ahi ngala, huchiin, Joab Toupa Puanin ah a taia, maitam kite a lena.

²⁸Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

²⁹Huan, Toupa puanin ah Joab a taia, ngaiin, maitam bulah a om, chiin kumpipa Solomon a hilh ua. Huchiin kumpipa Solomon in Jehoiada tapa Benai, va sualin, chiin a sawl a.

²⁹And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD; and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.

³⁰Huan, Benai Toupa puanin ah a hoh toua, a kiangah, kumpipan hongpawt khia heh a chi, achia. Huan, aman, hi lou e; hiaiah ka si mai ding, a chi a. Huan, Benaiin, Joabin hichiin a nachia, hichibangin a honna dawng hi, chiin kumpipa kiangah thu a tun nawn a.

³⁰And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the LORD, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.

³¹Huan, kumpipan a kiangah, a chih bangin hih inla, vasual inla, vuiin, a jiak om hetloua Joabin sisan a suahna akipan kei leh ka pa inkote na hulsak theihna dingin,

³¹And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father.

³²Huchiin, amah sanga mi kizen jaw leh hoih jaw mi nih, Ner tapa Abner, Israelte sepaih heutu leh Jether tapa Amasa, Judate sepaih heutu ka pa David theih louha suala, namsaua thah jiakin Toupan a san amah lu tungah a kik sak nawn ding.

³²And the LORD shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.

³³Huchiin, a sisan uh Joab lu tungah leh, a suante lu tungah khantawnin a kik dinga: David tungah te, a suante tungah te, a inkote tungah te, a laltutphah tungah te bel Toupa kianga kipan lungmuanna khantawnin a om nilouh ding, a chi a.

³³Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD.

³⁴Huchiin, Jehoiada tapa Benai a vahoh toua, a vasuala, a that; huan, gamdaiah amah inah a vui uhi.

³⁴So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.

³⁵Huan, kumpipan Jehoiada tapa Benai bel sepaihte tungah a sikin a pangsaka: huan, siampu Zadok bel kumpipan Abiathar sikin a pangsak hi.

³⁵And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host: and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.

³⁶Huan, kumpipan Simei a sam saka, a kiangah, Jerusalem ah in lam inla huaiah om inla, huaia kipan koi dang mahah pawt ken.

³⁶And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither.

³⁷Na pawt ni, Kidron lui na kan ni niin na si ngeingei ding chih theiin: na sisan nangmah lutung mahah a om ding, a chi a.

³⁷For it shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.

³⁸Huan, Simeiin kumpipa kiangah, a dik hi: Toupa ka puin a gen bangin na sikhain a hih jel ding, a chi a. Huan, Simei Jerusalemah sawt kuam tak a om a.

³⁸And Shimei said unto the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.

³⁹Huan, hichi ahia, kum thum a honghih nungin Simei sikhate laka nih Gath kho kumpipa Maak tapa Akis kiangah a tai ua; huan, ngaiin na sikhate Gath khuaah a om uh, chiin Simei a hilh ua.

³⁹And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants be in Gath.

⁴⁰Huan, Simei a thoua, a sabengtung a vana, a sikhate zong dingin Gath khuaah Akis kiangah a hohta: huan, Simeiin Gath khuaa kipan a sikhate a vapi hi.

⁴⁰And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants: and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.

⁴¹Huan, Simei Jerusalem khua akipan a pawta, Gath khuaah a vahoha, a hong kik chih Solomon a hilh uh.

⁴¹And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again.

⁴²Huan, kumpipan Simei a samsaka, a kiangah, na pawt ni, gam danga na pawtkhiak ni niin na si ngeingei ding, chiin Toupa min louin ka honkichiamsakin, ka hontheisak ahi kei maw? huan, nangmah inleng ka kiangah, na thu gen ka jak a hoih hi, na chi a.

⁴²And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not make thee to swear by the LORD, and protested unto thee, saying, Know for a certain, on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, that thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The word that I have heard is good.

⁴³Bangdia Toupa kichiamna leh thu ka honpiak tangtun lou na hia? a chi a.

⁴³Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?

⁴⁴Huan, kumpipa mahin Simei kiangah, na lungtang sunggil ginatlouhdan, ka pa David tunga na gamtatdante na thei vek: huchiin Toupan na thulimlouhna nangmah lu tung ngei ah a kiksak nawn ding.

⁴⁴The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thine heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore the LORD shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head;

⁴⁵Kumpipa Solomon bel vualjawlin a om dinga, David laltutphah Toupa maa khantawna hihkip ahi ding, a chi a.Huchiin kumpipan Jehoiada tapa Benai thu a piaa; amah a kuana, a vasuala, a thatta hi. Huchiin gam Solomon khuta hihkipin a omta hi.

⁴⁵And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever.

⁴⁶Huchiin kumpipan Jehoiada tapa Benai thu a piaa; amah a kuana, a vasuala, a thatta hi. Huchiin gam Solomon khuta hihkipin a omta hi.

⁴⁶So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; which went out, and fell upon him, that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
