¹Huan, TOUPA'N David kiang ah Nathan a sawl a. Huan, a kiang ah a hoh a, Khua khat ah mi nih a om ua; khatpen mi hausa ahi a, khatpen mi genthei ahi.

¹And the LORD sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.

²Mi hausa in belam hon tampi leh gan hon tampi a nei a:

²The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds:

³Mi genthei in bel belamnou a nu neuchik khat a lei a, a vulh khat kia ngallou bangmah a neikei a: a kiang ah a tate toh khanglian ahi uh; a kuang sawk pih leh a nou kikoppih, a angsung a om, a tanu bang geih a a ngaihtuah ahi.

³But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter.

⁴Huan, mi hausa kiang ah khualzinmi khat a vatung a; huan, amah kiang a mikhual tung amah belam leh gan goh phallou in mi genthei belamnou a kiang a hongpa a goh a, a chi a.

⁴And there came a traveler unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.

⁵Huchi in huai mi tungah a hehta mahmah a, Nathan kiang ah, TOUPA hinna lou in ka gen hi, huai thil hih mi hihlup mai tuak ahi;

⁵And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the LORD liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die:

⁶Huan, hichi bang thil ahih ziak leh hehpihna a neihlouh ziak in a belamnou a mun li in a dit ding ahi, a chi a.

⁶And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.

⁷Huchi in Nathan in David kiang ah, Nangmah na ka, TOUPA, Israelte Pathian in hichi in a chi, Israelte kumpipa ding in sathau ka honnilh a, Saula khut a kipan in ka hon honkhia a;

⁷And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;

⁸Huan, na pu in gou ka honluah sak a, na pu zite na angsung ah ka koih a, huan, Israel inkuante leh Judate ka hon pia a; huan, huaite a tawmluat lai uleh thil dangte leng hon piak beh lai ding ka kei maw.

⁸And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.

⁹Bangdia TOUPA thu ngaineu a, a mitmuh a thil hoihlou na hih maizen? Hit mi Uria namsau in na hihlum a, a zi nang zi ding in na neihsak a, Amon suante namsau in na that.

⁹Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.

¹⁰Huaiziak in namsau in na inkote a ki khinsan hetkei ding; nang lah hon ngaineu in Hit mi Uria zi nang zi ding in na suhsak ngal a.

¹⁰Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.

¹¹TOUPA'N hichi in a chi, Ngai in, nangmah inkuan lak a kipan mahmah in na tungah thil hoihlou ka suaksak ding a, na mitmuh mahmah in na zi ka hon laksak ding, na vengte ka pe dia, sun khovak in na zite a luppih ding uh.

¹¹Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbor, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.

¹²Nang bel a guk in na hih a, ken zaw Israel mite tengteng mitmuh in sun khovak in ka hih ding hi, a chi a.

¹²For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.

¹³Huna, David in Nathan kiang ah, TOUPA tungah thil ka hihkhialta, a chi a. Huan, Nathan in David kiang ah, TOUPA'N leng na khelhna a koihmang samta; na sikei ding.

¹³And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.

¹⁴Ahihhang in hiai na thilhih a Pathian gensiatna lemtang tak TOUPA melmate adia na bawl ziak in naupang na lak a piang a si ngeingei ding, a chi a.

¹⁴Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.

¹⁵Huchi in Nathan in a inlam ah a paisanta hi. Huan, Uria zi in David a suansak tungah TOUPA'N a khut a kha a, a chi a na mahmahta hi.

¹⁵And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.

¹⁶Huchi in David in naupang a ding in Pathian kiang ah a ngen ngutngut a; huan, David in an bang a ngawl a, a lut a, zankhua in lei ah a lum.

¹⁶David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.

¹⁷Huan, a inkote lak a upate a thou ua, lei a kipan a kaithou ding in a kiang ah a ding ua; himahleh a thou nuamkei a, a kiang uah leng a nesamkei.

¹⁷And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.

¹⁸Huan, hichi ahi a, a ni sagih ni in naupuang a sita. Huan, David sikhate'n naupang a sita chih a hilh ngamkei ua, Ngai in, naupang a damlai in a kiang ah thu i gen ua, a ngaikhe nuam ngalkei a, naupang a sita chih bangchin i hilh ngam dia, bang chichi hiam in a kihih kha ding, a chi ua.

¹⁸And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?

¹⁹Himahleh David in a sikhate kisimhou a muh in naupang a sita chih a theita a; huan, David in a sikhate kiang ah, Naupang sita hia? a chi a. Huan, amau, Sita, a chi ua.

¹⁹But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.

²⁰Huchi in David lei a kipan a thou a, a kisil a, sathau a kinilh a, a puante a kheng a; huan, TOUPA in ah a hoh a, Pathian a bia; huan, a in lam ah a pai nawn a, huan, an a kan a, a ma ah a lui ua, a na neta hi.

²⁰Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.

²¹Huchi in a sikhate'n a kiang ah, Na thilhihdan bangchidan ahia? Naupang a damlai in an na ngawl a, na kap a, himahleh naupang a sihtak in na thou a, an khawng na ne mai ngal a, a chi ua.

²¹Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.

²²Huan, aman, Naupang a damlai in an khawng ka ngawl a ka kap ngut a; Naupang a dam theihna ding in TOUPA'N hon hehpih kha mohkei ding, kua ahia thei ding? Ka chi a ahi.

²²And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live?

²³Himahleh tu in a sita ngal a, bang din an ka ngawlta de? Ka sam kik nawn thei dia hia? A kiang ah kei ka pai khongkhong ding a, himahleh amah zaw ka kiang ah a hong kik nawnta kei ding, a chi a.

²³But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.

²⁴Huchi in David in a zi Bath-seba a lungmuan a, a kiang ah a lut a, a luppih a, huan, tapa a suang a, a min in Solomon a sa hi.

²⁴And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him.

²⁵Huan, TOUPA'N amah a it a; huan, zawlnei Nathan a thukhak a, huan, aman TOUPA tam sak in amin ding in Jedidia a sata hi.

²⁵And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD.

²⁶Huchi in, Joab in Amon suante khopi Raba a sim a, khopi a lata hi.

²⁶And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.

²⁷Huan, Joab in David kiang ah mi a sawl a, Raba ka sim a, ahi, tuite khopi ka lata hi.

²⁷And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters.

²⁸Huchi in mi omlai teng kaikhawm inla, khopi sual tum in zuan inla, la in: ken khopi la leng ka min a pu kha ding, a chi a.

²⁸Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it: lest I take the city, and it be called after my name.

²⁹Huchi in David in mi tengteng a kaikhawm a, Rava ah a hoh ua, a vasim ua, a lata uh.

²⁹And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.

³⁰Huan, a kumpipa uh lallukhu khuk lai a laksak a, a gikdan dangka-eng talent buk ahi a, suangmantamte leng a tel a; huan, David a khusak uh. Huan, khopi a gallak sum tampi a la hi.Huan, mipite a pikheta a, singatna te, leilehna sik zum te, sik heipite zang in na a sem sak a, lei haltakte a bawlsak a: Amon suante khopi tengteng huchibang in a hih. Huan, David leh mi tengteng Jerusalem ah a pai nawn uhi.

³⁰And he took their king's crown from off his head, the weight whereof was a talent of gold with the precious stones: and it was set on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance.

³¹Huan, mipite a pikheta a, singatna te, leilehna sik zum te, sik heipite zang in na a sem sak a, lei haltakte a bawlsak a: Amon suante khopi tengteng huchibang in a hih. Huan, David leh mi tengteng Jerusalem ah a pai nawn uhi.

³¹And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem.
