¹Huan, Saula tapa Is-boseth in Hebron ah Abner a si chih a na zak in a khutte a hong hattakei a, huan, Israel mi tengteng a lungketa uhi.

¹And when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.

²Huan, Saula tapa Is-boseth in sepaih pawl heutu nih a nei a: khat min Baan ahi a, a dang min Rekab ahi, Benjamin suan Beeroth mi Rimon tapate ahi uh:

²And Saul's son had two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon a Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: (for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin.

³(Beeroth bel Benjamin gam a sim ahi ngal a: Beeroth khua a mite Gitaim ah a tai ua, tu tan in huailai ah a om uh. )

³And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and were sojourners there until this day.)

⁴Huan, Saula tapa Jonathan in tapa khebai a nei a; Jezreel a kipan a Saula leh Jonathan tanchin a natheih in kum nga a upa ahi a; huchi in amah donnun a pom a, a taimang pih a: huan, hichi ahi a, taimang ding a kintatna lam in a kesak a, a khe a hongbaita hi. A min Mephiboseth ahi.

⁴And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.

⁵Huan, Beeroth mi Rimon tapate Rekab leh Baan bel a pai ua, Is-boseth in ah sun nisat sanlai tak a a sun khawllai in ahoh ua.

⁵And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth, who lay on a bed at noon.

⁶Buh lading hile uh kilawm in insung lam ah a lut ua; a gil ah a vut ua: huan, Rekab leh a unaupa Baan a taimangta uh.

⁶And they came thither into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him under the fifth rib: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.

⁷Huan, in ah a valut ua a lupna dantan a lupna a lum a vavut ua, a that ua, a lu a tan ua, a lu a la ua, Araba kantan in zankhua in a pai uh.

⁷For when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and gat them away through the plain all night.

⁸Huan, Is-boseth lu Hebron ah David kiang ah a hontawi ua, kumpipa kiang ah, Ngai in, hiai, nanga, honthah tum, na melma Saula tapa Is-boseth lu; TOUPAN ka TOUPA phu tuni in Saula leh a suan tungah a laksakta hi, a chi ua.

⁸And they brought the head of Ishbosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ishbosheth the son of Saul thine enemy, which sought thy life; and the LORD hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.

⁹Huan, David in Beeroth mi Rimon tapa Rekab leh a unaupa a dawng a, a kiang uah, TOUPA ka mangbatna tengteng a hontanpa hinna lou in ka gen hi.

⁹And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, As the LORD liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,

¹⁰Tanchin hoih hontun a kisep in, Ngai in, Saula a sita, chi in mi khat in hon hilh a, amah ka man a, Ziklag ah ka that a; huai tuh a tanchin hoih honpuak man a ka na piak ahi.

¹⁰When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, who thought that I would have given him a reward for his tidings:

¹¹Mi diktat, amah insung lum a, a lupna tung ngei a mi, mi gilou in a thah uh sisan man na tunguah ka honphut nawn sem in, leitung a kipan ka hon nak hihmang sin na tel e aw! a chi a.Huchi in David in a tangvalte thu a pia a, amau amaute a that ua, a khut uleh a khe uh a tansak ua, Hebron a dil gei ah a khai uhi. Is-boseth lu bel a la ua, Hebron a Abner han ah a vui uhi.

¹¹How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?

¹²Huchi in David in a tangvalte thu a pia a, amau amaute a that ua, a khut uleh a khe uh a tansak ua, Hebron a dil gei ah a khai uhi. Is-boseth lu bel a la ua, Hebron a Abner han ah a vui uhi.

¹²And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up over the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
