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.
1And it came to pass after this, that David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
2Huchi in David huai lai ah a hohtou a, a zite nih Jezreel mi Ahinaom leh Karmel mi Nabal zi Abigail te toh.
2So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal's wife the Carmelite.
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.
3And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
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.
4And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabeshgilead were they that buried Saul.
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.
5And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabeshgilead, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of the LORD, that ye have showed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him.
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.
6And now the LORD show kindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing.
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.
7Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
8Huan, Ner tapa Abner, Saula sepaihte heutu in, Saula tapa Isboseth Mahanaim ah a pia;
8But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
9Gilead tungah, Asur tungah, Jezreel tungah, Ephraim tungah, Israel tengteng tungah kumpipa in a bawlta hi.
9And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
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.
10Ishbosheth Saul's son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
11David in Hebron a Juda chite tung a vai a na hawmna kum sagih leh kha guk ahi khin a.
11And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
12Huan, Ner tapa Abner leh Saula tapa Isboseth sikhate Mahanaim a kipan a pawt khia ua, Gibeon ah a pai uh.
12And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
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.
13And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon: and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
14Huan, Abner in Joab kiang ah, Tangvalte hong kuan uhenla, I ma uah hong kisual him le uh ake, a chi a.
14And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
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.
15Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
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.
16And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkathhazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
17Huchi in huai ni a a kisual uh zaw a thupi mahmah hi; huan, Abner leh Israel mite David sikhate lakah a zahlakta uhi.
17And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
18Huan, huai ah Zerui tapate thum, Joab te, Abisai te, Asahel te a om ua: Asahel bel zukpi bang ngial a ngalhat ahi.
18And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe.
19Huchi in Asahel in Abner a delh a; Abner a delh taklam hiam veilam hiam ah a pial hetkei a a delh vengveng hi.
19And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
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.
20Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he answered, I am.
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.
21And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee his armor. But Asahel would not turn aside from following of him.
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.
22And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?
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.
23Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him under the fifth rib, 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.
24Himahleh Joab leh Abisai in Abner a delhzui ua; huan, Gibeon gamdai lampi a Gia chin Ama tang a tun un ni a tumta.
24Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
25Huan, Benjamin suante Abner kiang ah a kikaikhawm ua, pawl khat in a kibawl ua, mualvum ah a va dingta uh.
25And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of an hill.
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.
26Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?
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.
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.
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.
28So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
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.
29And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.
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.
30And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David's servants nineteen men and Asahel.
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.
31But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, so that three hundred and threescore men died.
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.
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.
