1Saul imkhui neh David imkhui ah caemtloek he puet om. Te vaengah David tah rhoeng tih Saul imkhui tah tattloel la a pai pah.
1Now there was a long war between Saul’s house and David’s house. David grew stronger and stronger, but Saul’s house grew weaker and weaker.
2David loh Hebron ah a ca a sak rhoek tah Jezreel nu Ahinoam capa Amnon te a cacuek la om.
2Sons were born to David in Hebron. His firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;
3A pabae ah Karmel Nabal yurho nu Abigal neh Kileab,A pathum ah Geshuri manghai Talmai canu Maakah capa Absalom,
3and his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;
4a pali ah Haggith capa Adonijah, a panga ah Abital capa Shephatiah,
4and the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;
5a parhuk ah David yuu Eglah capa Ithream tih, te rhoek te David loh Hebron ah a sak rhoek ni.
5and the sixth, Ithream, of Eglah, David’s wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
6Saul imkhui neh David imkhui laklo ah caemtloek a om a om vaengah Abner tah Saul imkhui ah khak om.
6While there was war between Saul’s house and David’s house, Abner made himself strong in Saul’s house.
7Te vaengah Aiah canu a ming ah Rizpah tah Saul taengah yula la om. Tedae Abner te, “Balae tih a pa kah yula te na kun thil,” a ti nah.
7Now Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah; and Ishbosheth said to Abner, “Why have you gone in to my father’s concubine?”
8Ishbosheth kah ol loh Abner te mat a lungoe sak tih, “Judah taengah kai he ui lu a? Tihnin ah na pa Saul imkhui ah, a paca boeina neh a baerhoep taengah sitlohnah ka tueng coeng. Te dongah David kut dongah nang kan mop pawh. Tedae tihnin ah kai he huta nethaesainah nan pup thil.
8Then Abner was very angry about Ishbosheth’s words, and said, “Am I a dog’s head that belongs to Judah? Today I show kindness to your father Saul’s house, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David; and yet you charge me today with a fault concerning this woman!
9Pathen loh Abner te saii nawn saeh lamtah anih te khoengvoep nawn saeh. BOEIPA loh David a caeng vanbangla anih ham te ka saii van atah.
9God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as the LORD has sworn to David, I don’t do even so to him:
10A ram te Saul imkhui lamloh a puen vetih Israel neh Judah soah Dan lamloh Beersheba duela David kah ngolkhoel a hol pah ham te khaw,” a ti nah.
10to transfer the kingdom from Saul’s house, and to set up David’s throne over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba.”
11Te vaengah anih te a rhih coeng dongah Abner te ol koep a mael ham khaw huem voel pawh.
11He could not answer Abner another word, because he was afraid of him.
12Te phoeiah Abner loh David taengah amah yueng la puencawn a tueih tih anih kah yueng la, “Khohmuen ke u ham tloe nim? Nang neh kai moi bop pawn sih, Israel boeih te nang taengla aka maelh ham khaw ka kut he nang taengah om ta he,” a ti nah.
12Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, “Whose is the land?” and saying, “Make your alliance with me, and behold, my hand will be with you to bring all Israel around to you.”
13Te dongah David loh, “Then, kai loh nang taengah moi kam boh ngawn ni. Tedae ol pakhat te nang taeng lamloh tha sak ham kai loh kam bih. Ka maelhmai hmuh ham na pawk vaengah Saul canu Mikhal te nang khuen lamhma pawt atah ka maelhmai he na hmu mahpawh,” a ti nah.
13David said, “Good. I will make a treaty with you, but one thing I require of you. That is, you will not see my face unless you first bring Michal, Saul’s daughter, when you come to see my face.”
14Te dongah David loh, “Philisti kah yanghli yakhat neh kamah ham ka bae ka yuu Mikhal te m'pae saeh, “tila voek sak ham Saul capa Ishbosheth taengah puencawn a tueih.
14David sent messengers to Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, saying, “Deliver me my wife Michal, whom I was given to marry for one hundred foreskins of the Philistines.”
15Ishbosheth a tah vanbangla huta te a va Laish capa Paltiel taeng lamloh a bong pah.
15Ishbosheth sent and took her from her husband, Paltiel the son of Laish.
16Tedae anih te a va loh a vai tih a caeh pah. Bahurim duela a hnukah a rhah pah hatah anih te Abner loh, “Mael lamtah cet laeh,” a ti nah tih vik mael.
16Her husband went with her, weeping as he went, and followed her to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, “Go! Return!” and he returned.
17Abner kah olka te Israel patong taengah om coeng tih, “Hlaem neh hlaemvai ah nangmih soah aka manghai la David aka toem khaw na om uh.
17Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, “In times past, you sought for David to be king over you.
18Saii uh kanoek laeh, BOEIPA loh David ham a uen pah coeng tih, 'Ka sal David kut loh ka pilnam Israel he Philisti kut lamkah, a thunkha cungkuem kut lamloh a khang ni, ' a ti,” a ti nah.
18Now then do it! For the LORD has spoken of David, saying, ‘By the hand of my servant David, I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.’”
19Abner loh Benjamin kah a hna dongah khaw a thui pah. Te phoeiah Abner te Hebron kah David hna ah Israel mikhmuh neh Benjamin imkhui pum kah mikhmuh ah boeih then coeng tila thui pah ham tloekloek cet.
19Abner also spoke in the ears of Benjamin; and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel and to the whole house of Benjamin.
20Abner loh a taengkah hlang pakul neh Hebron kah David te a paan. Te dongah David loh Abner neh anih taengkah hlang rhoek ham buhkoknah a saii pah.
20So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. David made Abner and the men who were with him a feast.
21Abner loh David taengah, “Ka thoo mai saeh lamtah ka cet mai eh. Ka boeipa manghai ham Israel pum te ka coi eh. Te daengah ni namah taengah paipi a saii uh vetih na hinglu loh a ngaih sarhui bangla na manghai thil eh?,” a ti nah. Te dongah David loh Abner te a tueih tih ngaimong la cet.
21Abner said to David, “I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may reign over all that your soul desires.” David sent Abner away; and he went in peace.
22Te vaengah David kah sal rhoek neh Joab tah caem lamloh pakcak ha pawk uh. Amih te kutbuem neh muep ha pawk uh. Tedae Abner tah a tueih coeng tih ngaimong la a caeh coeng dongah Hebron kah David taengah om voel pawh.
22Behold, David’s servants and Joab came from a raid and brought in a great plunder with them; but Abner was not with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace.
23Joab neh amah taengkah caempuei te boeih ha pawk uh vaengah Ner capa Abner tah manghai taengla kun tih anih te a tueih dongah ngaimong la a caeh te Joab taengla a puen pa uh tih a thui pa uh.
23When Joab and all the army who was with him had come, they told Joab, “Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he has sent him away, and he has gone in peace.”
24Te dongah Joab loh manghai taengla kun tih, “Balae na saii he, namah taengla Abner ha pawk te ba ham lae anih te na tueih tih a caeh khaw a caeh rhoe.
24Then Joab came to the king and said, “What have you done? Behold, Abner came to you. Why is it that you have sent him away, and he is already gone?
25Ner capa Abner te nang hloih ham ha pai tila na ming. Te dongah na thoengnah neh na kunnah, na aelnah aka dawn ham, na saii boeih te a dawn ham ni,” a ti nah.
25You know Abner the son of Ner. He came to deceive you, and to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all that you do.”
26Te phoeiah Joab te David taeng lamloh coe tih Abner hnukah puencawn a tueih. Te dongah Abner te Sirah tuito lamloh a mael puei uh dae David loh ming pawh.
26When Joab had come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David didn’t know it.
27Hebron la Abner ha mael vaengah anih te Joab loh vongka khui la duem a mawt. Te phoeiah a bung ah pahoi a thun tih Joab kah a manuca Asahel kah thii a yueng la Abner khaw duek.
27When Abner had returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the middle of the gate to speak with him quietly, and struck him there in the body, so that he died for the blood of Asahel his brother.
28Te phoei lamkah te David loh a yaak tih, “Ner capa Abner thii kawng dongah kamah neh ka ram he kumhal duela BOEIPA taengah ommongsitoe la om saeh.
28Afterward, when David heard it, he said, “I and my kingdom are guiltless before the LORD forever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner.
29Joab lu so neh a napa imkhui boeih soah phuei uh saeh. Joab imkhui ah a thi a hnai neh aka pahuk, conghol dongah aka kuitung khaw, cunghang neh aka rhu, buh ka nai khaw pat boel saeh,” a ti.
29Let it fall on the head of Joab and on all his father’s house. Let there not fail from the house of Joab one who has a discharge, or who is a leper, or who leans on a staff, or who falls by the sword, or who lacks bread.”
30Gibeon caem vaengah a manuca Asahel a ngawn pah dongah Joab neh a mana Abishai loh Abner te a ngawn rhoi.
30So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
31David loh Joab neh a taengkah pilnam boeih taengah, “Na himbai phen uh, tlamhni vah uh, Abner hmai ah rhaengsae uh,” a ti nah tih, manghai David te baiphaih taengah cet.
31David said to Joab and to all the people who were with him, “Tear your clothes, and clothe yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn in front of Abner.” King David followed the bier.
32Abner te Hebron ah a up uh. Manghai loh a ol a huel tih Abner phuel ah rhap. Te vaengah pilnam khaw boeih rhap uh.
32They buried Abner in Hebron; and the king lifted up his voice and wept at Abner’s grave; and all the people wept.
33Abner ham manghai te rhaengsae tih, “Hlang ang a duek bang lam a Abner a duek eh?,
33The king lamented for Abner, and said, “Should Abner die as a fool dies?
34Na kut ham pin pawh, na kho khaw rhohum dongah man bal pawh, dumlai hlang kah mikhmuh ah a cungku uh bangla na cungku,” a ti. Anih te pilnam boeih loh a rhaep la a rhah.
34Your hands weren’t bound, and your feet weren’t put into fetters. As a man falls before the children of iniquity, so you fell.” All the people wept again over him.
35Kho om vaengah David te buh cah ham pilnam pum loh a paan. Tedae David loh a toemngam tih, “Pathen loh kai taengah han saii saeh lamtah khomik a khum hlanah buh khaw khat khat khaw ka tuep atah amah loh ng'koei nawn saeh,” a ti.
35All the people came to urge David to eat bread while it was yet day; but David swore, saying, “God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread or anything else, until the sun goes down.”
36Pilnam pum loh a hmat uh tih a mik ah cop uh. Manghai loh a saii boeih tah pilnam mik ah boeih cop.
36All the people took notice of it, and it pleased them, as whatever the king did pleased all the people.
37Ner capa Abner a ngawn ham te manghai taeng lamkah a om moenih tila tekah khohnin ah pilnam pum neh Israel pum loh a ming.
37So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to kill Abner the son of Ner.
38Te vaengah manghai loh a sal rhoek te, “Mangpa neh hlangtang he na ming uh moenih a? Tihnin ah Israel lakli ah a cungku he.
38The king said to his servants, “Don’t you know that a prince and a great man has fallen today in Israel?
39Tihnin ah ka mongkawt cakhaw manghai la ng'koelh tih Zeruiah koca tongpa rhoek lakah ka ning. Thae aka saii taengah a boethae bangla BOEIPA loh thuung saeh,” a ti nah.
39I am weak today, though anointed king. These men, the sons of Zeruiah are too hard for me. May the LORD reward the evildoer according to his wickedness.”
