1There was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of Yahweh. Yahweh said, “It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put to death the Gibeonites.”
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.
2The king called the Gibeonites, and said to 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 to them: and Saul sought to kill them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah);
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).
3and David said to the Gibeonites, “What shall I do for you? And with what shall I make atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of Yahweh?”
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.
4The Gibeonites said to him, “It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul, or his house; neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel.” He said, “Whatever you say, that will I do for you.”
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.
5They said to the king, “The man who consumed us, and who devised against us, that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel,
5Huan, kumpipa kiang ah, Hon hihmangpa leh Israel gamsung himhim a omlou a hon hihmang ding a sawmpa.
6let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them up to Yahweh in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Yahweh.” The king said, “I will give them.”
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.
7But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of Yahweh’s oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
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.
8But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
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:
9He delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the mountain before Yahweh, and all seven of them fell together. They were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest.
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.
10Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water was poured on them from the sky. She allowed neither the birds of the sky to rest on them by day, nor the animals of the field by night.
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.
11It was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
11Huan, Aia tanu Saula meinu Rizpa thilhih David a hilh uh.
12David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the street of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, in the day that the Philistines killed Saul in Gilboa;
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:
13and he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son: and they gathered the bones of those who were hanged.
13Huai a Saula guhte leh a tapa Jonathan guhte a latou a; huchi in a khailupte uh guh a la khawm uh.
14They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. After that God was entreated for the land.
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.
15The Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. David grew faint;
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.
16and Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being armed with a new sword, thought to have slain David.
16Huan, Isbi-benob, mi lian tapate lak a a teipi gikdan dal sekel zathum, namsau thak kuah in David thah a tum a.
17But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “You shall go no more out with us to battle, that you don’t quench the lamp of Israel.”
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.
18It came to pass after this, that there was again war with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was of the sons of the giant.
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.
19There was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite’s brother, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
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.
20There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who 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.
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.
21When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David’s brother, killed him.
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.
22These four were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
22Huan, huai lite Gath khua ah milian lak a piang ahi ua, huaite bel David leh a mite khut in a si uhi.
