1And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Seba, the son of Bochri, a man of Jemini: and he sounded the trumpet, and said: We have no part in David, nor inheritance in the son of Isai: return to thy dwellings, O Israel.
1Te vaengah hlang muen pakhat om, a ming tah Benjamin hlang, Bikhri capa Sheba ni. Tuki te a ueng tih, “Mamih kah hamsum he David ham moenih, mamih kah rho he Jesse capa taengah a om ham moenih. Israel rhoek te amah kah dap la boeih cet saeh,” a ti.
2And all Israel departed from David, and followed Seba the son of Bochri: but the men of Juda stuck to their king from the Jordan unto Jerusalem.
2Te dongah Israel hlang boeih tah David hnuk lamloh Bikhri capa Sheba hnuk la cet uh. Tedae Judah hlang tah Jordan lamloh Jerusalem duela a manghai nen ni a kaibaeng uh.
3And when the king was come into his house at Jerusalem, he took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, allowing them provisions: and he went not in unto them, but they were shut up unto the day of their death living in widowhood.
3David te Jerusalem kah amah im la a pawk vaengah im tawt la a paih a yula huta parha te manghai loh a loh tih im hloeh ah a khueh. Amih te a cangbam van ngawn dae amih taengla moe pah voel pawh. Amih te a duek hnin duela a daengdaeh dongah a khosaknah he nuhmai la om uh.
4And the king said to Amasa: Assemble to me all the men of Juda against the third day, and be thou here present.
4Manghai loh Amasa taengah, “Hnin thum khuiah Judah hlang te kamah taengla hueh lamtah namah khaw pahoi om,” a ti nah.
5So Amasa went to assemble the men of Juda, but he tarried beyond the set time which the king had appointed him.
5Amasa loh Judah rhoek te hueh hamla cet ngawn dae uelh, uelh tih tingtunnah te a khueh.
6And David said to Abisai: Now will Seba the son of Bochri do us more harm than did Absalom: take thou therefore the servants of thy lord, and pursue after him, lest he find fenced cities, and escape us.
6Te dongah David loh Abishai taengah, “Absalom lakah Bikhri capa Sheba loh mamih taengah thae a huet pawn ni. Namah loh na boeipa kah sal rhoek ke khuen lamtah a hnukah hloem laeh. Khopuei vong cak te anih loh hmuh vetih mamih mikhmuh ah huul uh ve,” a ti nah.
7So Joab’s men went out with him, and the Cerethi and the Phelethi: and all the valiant men went out of Jerusalem to pursue after Seba the son of Bochri.
7Te dongah Joab kah hlang rhoek, Kerethi, Phelethi neh hlangrhalh boeih tah anih hnukah cet uh tih, Bikhri capa Sheba hnuk hloem hamla Jerusalem lamloh khoong uh.
8And when they were at the great stone which is in Gabaon, Amasa coming met them. And Joab had on a close coat of equal length with his habit, and over it was girded with a sword hanging down to his flank, in a scabbard, made in such manner as to come out with the least motion and strike.
8Amih te Gibeon lungnu ah a om uh vaengah Amasa te amih mikhmuh ah a pawk pah. Te dongah Joab loh a himbai neh a pueinak te a muk. Capang dongkah cunghang te cihin neh a cinghen ah a sol dae a khuen vaengah vik a colh pah.
9And Joab said to Amasa: God save thee, my brother. And he took Amasa by the chin with his right hand to kiss him.
9Joab loh Amasa te, “Ka manuca na sading a? a ti nah. Te phoeiah anih te mok hamla Amasa hnapae te Joab kah bantang kut neh a tuuk.
10But Amasa did not take notice of the sword, which Joab had, and he struck him in the side, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and gave him not a second wound, and he died. And Joab, and Abisai his brother pursued after Seba the son of Bochri.
10Te vaengah Joab kut dongkah cunghang te Amasa loh hmuethmat pawh. Te dongah Amasa te tumca neh a bung ah a laih tih a bung te diklai la pawk a sop pah. Anih te a talh mueh la duek. Te phoeiah Joab neh a mana Abishai loh Bikhri capa Sheba te a hloem.
11In the mean time some men of Joab’s company stopping at the dead body of Amasa, said: Behold he that would have been in Joab’s stead the companion of David.
11Te vaengah Joab kah tueihyoeih khui lamkah hlang pakhat te a taengah pai tih, “U khaw Joab taengla aka naep tih u khaw David ham aka ti te tah Joab hnukah bat saeh,” a ti.
12And Amasa imbrued with blood, lay in the midst of the way. A certain man saw this that all the people stood still to look upon him, so he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and covered him with a garment, that they who passed might not stop on his account.
12Amasa tah long lung ah a thii neh a bol vaengah hlang pakhat loh a hmuh. Te dongah pilnam te boeih a hloh tih Amasa te longpuei lamloh lohma la a thoeih uh. Anih taengla aka thoeng boeih loh a hmuh vaengah a pai thil tih anih te himbai a khuk thil.
13And when he was removed out of the way, all the people went on following Joab to pursue after Seba the son of Bochri.
13Long lamloh a khoe van nen tah hlang boeih loh Bikhri capa Sheba hnuk hloem hamla Joab te a paan.
14Now he had passed through all the tribes of Israel unto Abela and Bethmaacha: and all the chosen men were gathered together unto him.
14Te vaengah Israel koca boeih te Abel lungnu neh Bethmaakha due, Beree boeih te khaw a hil. Te dongah coi tih, tingtun uh tih a hnukah bang uh.
15And they came, and besieged him in Abela, and in Bethmaacha, and they cast up works round the city, and the city was besieged: and all the people that were with Joab, laboured to throw down the walls.
15Abelbethmaakah a pha uh vaengah anih te koep a dum uh. Khopuei te tanglung malh a lun thil uh tih rhalmahvong te a pai thil. Joab neh a pilnam pum loh vongtung te cungku sak ham a thuk.
16And a wise woman cried out from the city: Hear, hear, and say to Joab: Come near hither, and I will speak with thee.
16Te vaengah khopuei lamkah huta aka cueih te pang tih, “Hnatun, hnatun uh mai lah, Joab te, 'Hela ha mop lamtah namah taengah ka thui eh?,’ ti nah dae,” a ti.
17And when he was come near to her, she said to him: Art thou Joab? And he answered: I am. And she spoke thus to him: Hear the words of thy handmaid. He answered: I do hear.
17A taengla a thoeng pah vaengah huta loh, “Joab nang a,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Kai ni ue,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah, 'Na salnu kah ol he hnatun lah,” a ti nah hatah, “Ka hnatun ngawn,” a ti nah.
18And she again said: A saying was used in the old proverb: They that inquire, let them inquire in Abela: and so they made an end.
18Te phoeiah a thui lam khaw thui pah. Hlamat ah a thui uh tih Abel ah toem la toem uh tih cing uh,’ a ti lah ko.
19Am not I she that answer truth in Israel, and thou seekest to destroy the city, and to overthrow a mother in Israel? Why wilt thou throw down the inheritance of the Lord?
19Kai long tah Israel he oltak la ka thuung vaengah nang long tah khopuei neh Israel khuikah a manu te ngawn ham na mae. Balae tih BOEIPA kah rho na yoop eh?,” a ti nah.
20And Joab answering said: God forbid, God forbid that I should, I do not throw down, nor destroy.
20Joab loh a doo tih, “Savisava la savisava, kai lamloh aka yoop mai tih aka phae mai te.
21The matter is not so, but a man of mount Ephraim, Seba the son of Bochri by name, hath lifted up his hand against king David: deliver him only, and we will depart from the city. And the woman said to Joab: Behold his head shall be thrown to thee from the wall.
21He tah ol voel moenih. Tedae Ephraim tlang kah hlang pakhat, Bikhri capa, a ming ah Sheba loh manghai David te a kut a luklek thil. Anih bueng mah han tloeng lamtah khopuei lamloh ka nong bitni,” a ti nah. Te vaengah huta loh Joab taengah, “A lu te vongtung lamloh namah taengla ham voeih coeng te,” a ti nah.
22So she went to all the people, and spoke to them wisely: and they cut off the head of Seba the son of Bochri, and cast it out to Joab. And he sounded the trumpet, and they departed from the city, every one to their home: and Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.
22Huta loh pilnam boeih te a cueihnah neh a paan dongah Bikhri capa Sheba kah a lu te a rhaih pa uh tih Joab taengla a voeih uh. Te daengah tuki te a ueng tih, hlang khopuei lamloh amah kah dap duela taekyak uh. Te phoeiah Joab te Jerusalem kah manghai taengla koep mael.
23So Joab was over all the army of Israel: and Banaias the son of Joiada was over the Cerethites and Phelethites,
23Te dongah Israel caempuei boeih te Joab loh, Kerethi neh Phelethi te Jehoiada capa Benaiah loh,
24But Aduram over the tributes: and Josaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder.
24Adoram loh saldong boei, Ahilud capa Jehoshaphat loh khokhuen cabu,
25And Siva was scribe: and Sadoc and Abiathar, priests.
25Sheva te cadaek, Zadok neh Abiathar loh khosoih te a ngol thil.
26And Ira the Jairite was the priest of David.
26Jairi Ira khaw David taengah khosoih la om van.
