1After this, David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah?” The LORD said to him, “Go up.” David said, “Where shall I go up?” He said, “To Hebron.”
1To pacoengah David mah Angraeng khaeah, Judah prae thung ih vangpui maeto ah ka caeh han maw? tiah a naa. Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Caeh tahang ah, tiah a naa. David mah, Naa ah maw ka caeh han? tiah a naa. Angraeng mah, Hebron ah, caeh han thuih pae.
2So David went up there with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
2To pongah David loe a zu hnik; Jezreel ih kami Ahinoam hoi Karmel ah kaom Nabal ih zu Abigail to caeh haih.
3David brought up his men who were with him, every man with his household. They lived in the cities of Hebron.
3David loe a taengah kaom kaminawk hoi angmah ih canawknawk boih to a caeh haih; nihcae loe Hebron vangpui ah oh o.
4The men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. They told David, “The men of Jabesh Gilead were those who buried Saul.”
4To naah Judah kaminawk Hebron vangpui ah angzoh o moe, David to Judah imthung takoh siangpahrang ah oh hanah situi bawh o. Jabesh Gilead ih kaminawk mah David khaeah, Saul ih qok loe kaicae mah aphum o boeh, tiah thuih pae o.
5David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead, and said to them, “Blessed are you by the LORD, that you have shown this kindness to your lord, even to Saul, and have buried him.
5To naah David mah Jabesh Gilead vangpui ah laicaeh to patoeh moe, Na angraeng Saul khaeah tahmenhaih nam tueng o sak moe, na phum o pongah, Angraeng mah tahamhoihaih na paek o nasoe.
6Now may the LORD show loving kindness and truth to you. I also will reward you for this kindness, because you have done this thing.
6Angraeng mah vaihi nangcae khaeah tahmenhaih hoi loktang amtuengsak nasoe; hae hmuen hae na sak o pongah, kaimah doeh kahoih to baktih poekhaih to nangcae nuiah kam tuengsak toeng han.
7Now therefore let your hands be strong, and be valiant; for Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.”
7Vaihi na thacak o sak loe, palungthin cak o sak ah; na angraeng Saul loe duek boeh; vaihi Judah imthung takoh mah kai hae nihcae ih siangpahrang ah situi ang bawh o boeh, tiah lokpat pae.
8Now Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s army, had taken Ishbosheth the son of Saul and brought him over to Mahanaim.
8To naah Ner capa Abner, Saul ih misatuh angraeng mah, Saul capa Ish-Bosheth to lak moe, Mahanaim ah caeh haih,
9He made him king over Gilead, over the Ashurites, over Jezreel, over Ephraim, over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
9Gilead prae, Ashuri kaminawk, Jezreel vangpui kaminawk, Ephraim prae, Benjamin prae hoi Israel prae boih nuiah siangpahrang ah a suek.
10Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
10Israel siangpahrang ah oh naah Saul capa Ish-Bosheth loe saning quipalito oh boeh; anih loe saning hnetto thung siangpahrang ah oh. Toe Judah imthung takoh loe David hnukah bang o.
11The time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
11David loe Heron vangpui ah oh moe, Judah imthung takoh nuiah saning sarih, khrah tarukto thung siangpahrang ah oh.
12Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
12Ner capa Abner hoi Saul capa Ish-Bosheth ih kaminawk loe, Mahanaim hoiah tacawt o moe, Gibeon ah caeh o.
13Joab the son of Zeruiah and David’s servants went out, and met them by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool and the other on the other side of the pool.
13Zeruiah capa Joab hoi David ih tamnanawk loe caeh o moe, Gibeon tuili taengah angqum o; kami abu maeto loe tuili ho bangah anghnut o, kalah kami abu maeto loe tuili haebang ah anghnut o.
14Abner said to Joab, “Please let the young men arise and compete before us!” Joab said, “Let them arise!”
14To naah Abner mah Joab khaeah, Thendoeng thoemnawk angthawk o nasoe loe, aicae hmaa ah amhai o nasoe, tiah a naa. To naah Joab mah, Hoih, angthawk o nasoe loe, amhai o nasoe, tiah a naa.
15Then they arose and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin and for Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of David’s servants.
15To pongah angthawk o moe, Saul capa Ish-Bosheth ih kami, Benjamin acaeng hatlai hnetto hoi David ih tamna hatlai hnettonawk to caeh o.
16They each caught his opponent by the head and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together. Therefore that place in Gibeon was called Helkath Hazzurim.
16Nihcae loe maeto hoi maeto ih lu ah ang naeh o moe, panak ah haita hoiah angthun o; to naah nihcae boih nawnto amtimh o moe duek o; to pongah Gibeon vangpui taengah kaom to ahmuen to Helkath-Hazzuim, tiah kawk o.
17The battle was very severe that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before David’s servants.
17To na niah misa angtukhaih loe paroeai nung. David ih tamnanawk mah Abner hoi Israel kaminawk to pazawk o.
18The three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab, Abishai, and Asahel. Asahel was as light of foot as a wild gazelle.
18Zeruiah ih capa Joab, Abishai hoi Asahel cae loe to ah oh o; Asahel loe tasuk baktiah angtawt loe.
19Asahel pursued Abner. He didn’t turn to the right hand or to the left from following Abner.
19Asahel loe banqoi bantang amkhraeng ai ah, Abner to patom poe.
20Then Abner looked behind him and said, “Is that you, Asahel?” He answered, “It is.”
20Abner mah hnukbang angqoi moe, Asahel nang maw? tiah a naa. Asahel mah, Kai bae, tiah a naa.
21Abner said to him, “Turn away to your right hand or to your left, and grab one of the young men, and take his armor.” But Asahel would not turn away from following him.
21To naah Abner mah, Banqoi bangah maw, to tih ai boeh loe bantang bangah maw anqoih lai ah; thendoeng maeto naeh ah loe, anih ih maiphaw to la paeh, tiah a naa. Toe Asahel loe amkhraeng ai ah Abner hnukah patom poe.
22Abner said again to Asahel, “Turn away from following me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then could I look Joab your brother in the face?”
22Abner mah Asahel khaeah, Kai na patom hmah loklam amkhraeng lai ah, tiah a naa let; longah amtimh hanah nang to kang hum han maw? To tiah kang sak nahaeloe kawbangmaw namya Joab hmaa ah mikhmai ka padai thai tih? tiah a naa.
23However, he refused to turn away. Therefore Abner with the back end of the spear struck him in the body, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there and died in the same place. As many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
23Toe Asahel mah loklam amkhraeng taak ai ah patom let pongah, Abner mah tayae hoiah Asahel ih zok to takhawh pae, tayae loe hnukbang khoek to pra; anih loe to ahmuen ah amtimh moe duek; Asahel duekhaih ahmuen kapha kaminawk boih loe to ah angdoet o.
24But Joab and Abishai pursued Abner. The sun went down when they had come to the hill of Ammah, that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
24Toe Joab hoi Abishai mah Abner to patom hoi; niduem naah loe Gibeon taw bangah caehhaih Giah vangpui taengah kaom, Amma mae to a phak hoi.
25The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner and became one band, and stood on the top of a hill.
25To naah Benjamin kaminawk loe misatuh abu maeto ah angcu o moe, Abner hnukah mae nuiah angdoet o.
26Then Abner called to Joab, and said, “Shall the sword devour forever? Don’t you know that it will be bitterness in the latter end? How long will it be then, before you ask the people to return from following their brothers?”
26Abner mah Joab to lokdueng, Sumsen mah kami paaeh poe tih boeh maw? Hnukkhuem ah loe khaa parai tih, tiah na panoek ai maw? Angmacae nawkamya patom han ai ah, natuek naah maw nangmah ih kaminawk lok na thuih pae han? tiah a naa.
27Joab said, “As God lives, if you had not spoken, surely then in the morning the people would have gone away, and not each followed his brother.”
27Joab mah, Sithaw hing baktih toengah, nangmah lok na thui ai nahaeloe, khodai naah ni kai ih kaminawk mah angmacae nawkamyanawk to patom ai ah om o tih, tiah a naa.
28So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people stood still and pursued Israel no more, and they fought no more.
28To pongah Joab mah mongkah ueng naah, kaminawk boih mah Israel kaminawk patom ai ah oh o, tuh doeh angtuh o ai, anghak o boih.
29Abner and his men went all that night through the Arabah; and they passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and came to Mahanaim.
29Abner hoi anih ih kaminawk loe, aqum puek azawn ah caeh o moe, Jordan vapui to angkat o; Bithron prae to poeng o pacoengah, Mahanaim vangpui to phak o.
30Joab returned from following Abner; and when he had gathered all the people together, nineteen men of David’s and Asahel were missing.
30To naah Joab loe Abner patom ai ah amlaem moe, angmah ih kaminawk to pakhueng naah, Asahel hoi David ih tamna hatlai takawtto om o ai boeh.
31But David’s servants had struck Benjamin and Abner’s men so that three hundred sixty men died.
31Toe David ih tamnanawk mah, Abner khaeah kaom Benjamin ih kaminawk to cumvai thum, quitarukto hum pae o.
32They took up Asahel and buried him in the tomb of his father, which was in Bethlehem. Joab and his men went all night, and the day broke on them at Hebron.
32Asahel to lak o moe, Bethlehem ah ampa ih taprong ah aphum o. To pacoengah Joab hoi anih ih kaminawk loe aqum puek caeh o, khodai naah Hebron vangpui to a phak o.
