¹Huan, David in tangvum kah khiakna a khen zek nung in, ngai in, Mephiboseth sikha Ziba in a na dawn a, sabengtung nih a van a, tanghou beu zanih leh grep phoukeu bawk za leh nipi thei za leh uain thawl khat a posak a.

¹And when David was a little past the top of the hill, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and an hundred bunches of raisins, and an hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.

²Huan, kumpipa'n Ziba kiang ah, Hiaite bangchidan ahia? a chi a. Huan, Ziba in, Sabengtungte kumpipa inkuanpihte tuanna ding ahi dia; huan, tanghou leh nipi theite tangvalte nek ding ahi dia, huan, uain bel gamdai a bah peuhmahte dawn ding ahi ding, a chi a.

²And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses be for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink.

³Huan, kumpipa'n, Ahihleh na pu tapa koi ah? A chi a. Huan, Ziba in kumpipa kiang ah, Ngai in, Jerusalem ah a om: Tuni in Israelte'n ka pa gam a hon pe nawn sin uh, a chi a.

³And the king said, And where is thy master's son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: for he said, To day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.

⁴Huan, kumpipa'n Ziba kiang ah, Ngai in, Mephiboseth thil neih tengteng nang a vek ahita, a chi a. Huan, Ziba in, Chibai ka hon buk petmah ahi; toupa ka pu aw, na mittun zel ka tum ding, a chi a.

⁴Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly beseech thee that I may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king.

⁵Huan, kumpipa David Bahurim a tun in ngai in, Saula inkote lak a mi Ger tapa a min Simei a hong pawt khia a; hamselou kawmkawm in a hongpaitou a.

⁵And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came.

⁶David suang in a deng a, kumpipa David sikhate tengteng leng: huan, mipi tengteng leh sepaih hangsan tengteng a taklam ah leh a veilam ah a om uh.

⁶And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.

⁷Huan, Simei in a hamsiat sung in hichi in a chi a, Pai mang vengveng in, pai mang vengveng in, nang sisansuah hat leh Belial mipa:

⁷And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial:

⁸A vaihawm sik na hawmzohsa Saula inkote sisan TOUPA'N na tungah a hon kik sak nawnta a; huan, TOUPA'N gam na tapa Absalom a na pekhinta; huan, ngai in, sisan suah hatmi na hih ziak in nangmah siatna na kibawl ahi, a chi a.

⁸The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man.

⁹Huchi in Zerui tapa Abisai in kumpipa kiang ah, Bangdia hiai ui sisa in toupa ka pu hamsiat mawkmawk ahia? a lu ka tansak mai deh? A chi a.

⁹Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.

¹⁰Huan, kumpipa'n, Nou Zerui tapate aw, noute honna theih sak ding bang a om a? TOUPA'N a kiang a, David hamsiat in, a chih ngal leh a hamsiat ahi mai ke, Bangdia huchibang a hih? kuan a chi mahmah dia? A chi a.

¹⁰And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD hath said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so?

¹¹Huan, David in Abisai leh a sikhate tengteng kiang ah, Ngai un, ka tapa, ka gil a gah mahmah in hon thah a tum a: hiai Benjamin mi in nak tup sem nan chia! Bangmah chihkei unla, hamsia a hihleh loh hen; TOUPA hihsak ahi ngal a.

¹¹And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD hath bidden him.

¹²TOUPA'N ka haksatna a hon mu ding a, TOUPA'N tuni a hon hamsiat a hoih lam in a hon thuk nawn kha maithei hi, a chi a.

¹²It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day.

¹³Huchi in David leh a mite lampi ah a pai zel ua: huan, Simei bel a gal tang pang uah a pai zel a, a paikawm in a hamsiat zel a, suang khawng in a deng a, leivui bang in a theh a. Huan, kumpipa leh a kiang a mi om tengteng Aiphim a tung ua;

¹³And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hill's side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.

¹⁴Huchi in huailai ah a khawl tawldam uhi.

¹⁴And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.

¹⁵Huan, Absalom leh mipi tengteng, Israel mite Jerusalem ah a hoh ua, huan, a kiang ah Ahithophel leng a tel a.

¹⁵And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.

¹⁶Huan, hichi ahi a, Ark mi Husai, David lawm in Absalom kiang a tun in Husai in Absalom kiang ah, Pathian in kumpipa humbit hen, Pathian in kumpipa humbit hen, a chi a.

¹⁶And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom, God save the king, God save the king.

¹⁷Huan, Absalom in Husai kiang ah, Hichibang ahi maw na lawm na hehpihna dan? Bangdia na lawm kiang a hohlou? A chi a.

¹⁷And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?

¹⁸Huan, Husai in Absalom kiang ah, Ka hohkei ding; TOUPA leh hiai mipite leh Israel mi tengteng in a telpa uh thuthu in ka om ding a, a kiang ah ka om zo ding.

¹⁸And Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide.

¹⁹Huan, kua na ka sem dia? A tapa ma ah na ka sem ding ahikei maw? na pa ma a ka sep bang in nangmah a ka sem ding, a chi a.

¹⁹And again, whom should I serve? should I not serve in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence.

²⁰Huchi in Absalom in Ahitophel kiang ah, Bang chin i hih de aw, na ngaihdan gen dih ve, a chi a.

²⁰Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do.

²¹Huan, Ahithophel in Absalom kiang ah, Na pa mei, in ngak a akoihte kiang ah valut in; huan, Israel mi tengteng in na pan nang hoh mudah chih a na za ding ua; huchi in nanglam a pangte tengteng khut a hat ding, a chi a.

²¹And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father's concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father: then shall the hands of all that are with thee be strong.

²²Huchi in Absalom a ding in in tungah puan in a kai ua; huchi in Israel mi tengteng mitmuh in pa meite kiang ah a lut a.Huailai a a lemtheih, Ahithophel lemtheihte, mi Pathian thu zong bang ahi a; huchi mahbang in Ahithophel in David leh Absalom a lemtheih pih tengteng ngaih ahi hi.

²²So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.

²³Huailai a a lemtheih, Ahithophel lemtheihte, mi Pathian thu zong bang ahi a; huchi mahbang in Ahithophel in David leh Absalom a lemtheih pih tengteng ngaih ahi hi.

²³And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counseled in those days, was as if a man had inquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
