¹Huan, David damlai in a kum kizom in kum thum tak kial a kia a: huan, David in TOUPA a dong a. Huan, TOUPA'N, Saula ziak leh a inkote, sisan suahmite ziak in ahi, Gibeon mite a that ngal a, a chi a.

¹Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites.

²Huan, kumpipa'n Gibeon mite a sam a, a kiang uah, (Gibeon mite Israel suante a hikei ua, Amor mi omsunte ahi zaw uh; Israel suante amau kiang ah a na kichiam khin ua: Saula in Israel suante leh Juda suante a ding a phatuam a ngaih ziak in thah a tum nak hi).

²And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Israel and Judah.)

³David in Gibeon mite kiang ah, Bang ahia ka hon hihsak ding? TOUPA gou na vualzawl theihna ding un bangchibang a kilepna ahia ka bawl ding? a chi a.

³Wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the LORD?

⁴Huan, Gibeon mite'n a kiang ah, Saula leh a inkote tungthu ah dangka leh dangkaeng lam thu a hikei a; Israel lak ah mi hihlup theihna ka nei samkei uh, a chi ua. Huan, aman, Na gen bang peuhmah uh ka hon hih sak ding, a chi a.

⁴And the Gibeonites said unto him, We will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house; neither for us shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I do for you.

⁵Huan, kumpipa kiang ah, Hon hihmangpa leh Israel gamsung himhim a omlou a hon hihmang ding a sawmpa.

⁵And they answered the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the coasts of Israel,

⁶A tapa sagihte hon pia inla, TOUPA mi seh Saula omna Gibe khua ah TOUPA ma ah ka khai ding uh, a chi ua. Huan, kumpipa'n, Hon pe leng ake, a chi a.

⁶Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, whom the LORD did choose. And the king said, I will give them.

⁷Himahleh kumpipa'n, TOUPA kiang a David leh Saula tapa Jonathan kikal a, a nih ua kal a kichiamna ziak in Saula tapa Jonathan tapa Mephiboseth a hawi hi.

⁷But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the LORD's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.

⁸Kumpipa'n Aia tanu Rizpa in Saula tapa nih a neihsak Armoni leh Mephiboseth a pi a; huan, Meholat mi Barzilai tapa Adriel, Saula tanu Mikal in tapa nga a neih sakte toh:

⁸But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:

⁹Huan, Gibeon mite khut ah a pe khia a, huan, amau TOUPA ma ah tang ah a khia ua, huchin a sagih un mun khat ah a si khawm uh: buh lak hun, barli-buh lak patlai khawng in a hihlum uh.

⁹And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the hill before the LORD: and they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest.

¹⁰Huan, Aia tanu Rizpa in saiip puan a la a, buh lak tung a kipan tui in amau a hon buah tan a a omna ding in suangpi tungah a phah a; a tung ua sun chia tung a leng vasate tuk leh zan chia gam sate om leng a phalkei.

¹⁰And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.

¹¹Huan, Aia tanu Saula meinu Rizpa thilhih David a hilh uh.

¹¹And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.

¹²Huan, David a kuan a, Philistia mite'n Gilboa a Saula a thah ni ua Philistia mite'n Bethsan mun lian a a khai uh guhte, Jabesgilead mite kianga kipan Saula guh leh a tapa Jonathan guhte a la ua:

¹²And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabeshgilead, which had stolen them from the street of Bethshan, where the Philistines had hanged them, when the Philistines had slain Saul in Gilboa:

¹³Huai a Saula guhte leh a tapa Jonathan guhte a latou a; huchi in a khailupte uh guh a la khawm uh.

¹³And he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.

¹⁴Huan, Saula guhte leh a tapa Jonathan guhte Benjamin gam a Zela khua a a pa Kis han ah a vui uh: huan, kumpipa thupiak dungzui in a hih uh. Huan, huai khit in huai gam tungah Pathian a lungkimta hi.

¹⁴And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son buried they in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulchre of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was intreated for the land.

¹⁵Huan, Philistia mite'n Israel mite a dou nawn ua; huan, David a mite toh a kuan suk ua; Philistia mite a va sual uh: huan, David a bah mahmah hi.

¹⁵Moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David waxed faint.

¹⁶Huan, Isbi-benob, mi lian tapate lak a a teipi gikdan dal sekel zathum, namsau thak kuah in David thah a tum a.

¹⁶And Ishbibenob, which was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear weighed three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David.

¹⁷Himahleh Zerui tapa Abisai in a hun a, Philistia mi a sual a, a thatta hi. Huan, David mite'n, Israelte khawnvak na mih saklouhna ding in kidou ding in ka kiang uah nang zaw na kuan nawn hetkei ding, chi in a tungah a kichiam uh.

¹⁷But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succored him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the light of Israel.

¹⁸Huan, hichi ahi a, huai nung in Philistia mite toh Gob khua ah kidouna a om nawn a: huchi in Husat mi Sebekai in mi liante tapate lak a mi Saph a that.

¹⁸And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which was of the sons of the giant.

¹⁹Huan, Philistia mite toh Gob khua ah a kidou nawn ua; huan, Beth-lehem mi Jaar-oregim tapa Elhanan Git mi Goliath a that a a teipi sing tuh chiam bang ahi.

¹⁹And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.

²⁰Huan, Gath khua ah kidouna a om nawn a, huai ah mi khat a san a sang a khut langkhat tuaktuak a khutzung guk, a khe langkhat tuaktuak a khezung guk, a vek a sawmnih leh li nei a om a; amah leng mi lian lak a piang ahi.

²⁰And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.

²¹Huan, Israel mite a vatou a, David unau Simei tapa Jonathan in a na that hi.Huan, huai lite Gath khua ah milian lak a piang ahi ua, huaite bel David leh a mite khut in a si uhi.

²¹And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah the brother of David slew him.

²²Huan, huai lite Gath khua ah milian lak a piang ahi ua, huaite bel David leh a mite khut in a si uhi.

²²These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
