2 Samuel 15

1 Hiti ho jouse kichai nung hin Absalom chun kangtalai khat akisem’in, sakol akai ding ho jong akigot tohsoh keiyin, chule amasanga lhaidin pasal cheh mi som nga akilhen doh tai.

And it came to pass after this, that Abshalom provided for himself a chariot and horses, and fifty men who ran before him.

2 Absalom hi jingkahseh jingpi tah in athou jin, kelkot lampi geiya chun ading jin ahi; hitichun mihem khat tou lengpa koma mi hehna ding thu aneiya, athu tan sah ding ahung teng le, hitobang miho chu Absalomin akou jin ana dong ji'e, “Hoilai khopi pen a kona hung nahim?” tia adoh le mihem pan jong, aphung min aseipih ding ahi.

And Abshalom rose up early, and stood on the side of the way to the gate: and it happened, that whenever a man who had a controversy came to the king for judgment, Abshalom called to him, and said, From what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is from one of the tribes of Israel.

3 Hiteng chule Absalom in asei peh kitjin, “nangman chungthu nasatah nahinpolut e! chule hichehi aphamo lheh jenge lengpan hichu ngaidin koima aneipon ahi.

And Abshalom said unto him, See, thy words are good and right; but no one listeneth to thee on the part of the king.

4 Chujongleh Absalom chun asei kit in, “O kadeh, keima hi gamsunga thutan vaihoma pang ana hileng, mijousen achungthu u keikommatan dia ahin pohlut diu, chule keiman thudihtah a katan pih diu ahi ati.

And Abshalom said, Oh, if there were but one to appoint me judge in the land, so that every man who may have any controversy or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!

5 Hitia chu ama angsunga bohkhup dia mi ahung teng le Absalom chu anomji pon hisang chun aman hitobang miho chu akhut’in atuh chah jeng jin, achop jin ahi.

And it happened, that when a man came nigh to bow down to him, he used to put forth his hand, and laid hold of him, and kissed him.

6 Hitobang hin lengpa koma athu kikhola kitan sah dinga hung ji Israel mi tapou chu Absalomin anabol jing jin ahi; hiche a kon hin Absalomin Israel mipi jouse lungthim abonchan athu nun soh hel tai.

And Abshalom did after this manner to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: and thus did Abshalom steal the heart of the men of Israel.

7 Chule kumli alhin jouvin Absalomin lengpa koma chun aseiyin, “Lungset tah in neisol’in lang keima Hebron khopia khun cheng ting Pakaiya kilhaina gasem ingting chule keiman ama toh kitepna kasem chu gabulhit tange ati.

And it came to pass at the end of forty years, that Abshalom said unto the king, Let me go, I pray thee, and fulfill my vow, which I have vowed unto the Lord, at Hebron.

8 Ijeh-inem itileh nalhachapa keima Ram gamsung Geshur a kachen lai chun kitepna khat kanabol’in hitin kana seiye, ‘Pakaiyin Jerusalema einung puilut kit poupouva ahileh keiman Pakai koma kilhaina kabola chibai kaboh ding ahi,’ tin kanaseiye,” ati.

For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If the Lord will ever bring me back again to Jerusalem, then will I serve the Lord.

9 Hichun lengpan jong aseipeh in, “aphai, chinlang nakitep nachu gamolso tan ati,” ati. Hijeh chun Absalom jong akipat doh pai in Hebron ache tai.

And the king said unto him, Go in peace: and he arose, and went to Hebron.

10 Ahinla Absalom chun guhthim chan Israel phung jouse koma sot tol le miho ana sola hitia hi ana sei sa ahi, “Nang hon saki pengkul kimut ging najah poupou uva ahileh, ‘Hebron khopia Absalom aleng chang tai,’ tia na sei diu ahi,” tin ana hil masa tan ahi.

But Abshalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, When ye hear the sound of the cornet, then shall ye say, Abshalom is become king at Hebron.

11 Mihem jani Jerusalem khopia konin Absalom chutoh akilhon’uvin, ahin amaho chun Absalom lunggel ngaito emacha ahepou vin ahi.

And with Abshalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and going in their simplicity; and they knew of nothing whatever.

12 Absalomin kilhaina gantha ima abol laiyin, Gilon mi Ahithophel kitipa, David dinga lungthima kithopi phatah mipa chun mi asol’in achenna Giloh khopia konin aga kousah tai. Chule Absaom in thilse abol'a lengpa adouna chu akhang tul tul jeng in, mipin jong Absalom ajop bebe jeng tau’ve.

And Abshalom sent for Achithophel the Gilomite, David's counsellor, from his city, from Giloh, while he offered the sacrifices. And the conspiracy became strong; and the people increased continually with Abshalom.

13 Hijeh chun sot tolle mi khat chu David koma ahung in hitin ahung seiye, “Israel miten alungthim’uvin Absalom nung ajui gamtauve,” ati.

And there came a news-bearer to David, saying, the heart of the men of Israel is turned after Abshalom.

14 Chuphat’in David jong chun Jerusalem khopia aumkhompi amite hengah hitin aseitai, “khatveijam a ebonchaova ejam diu ahitai, akhuti louleh ivaigeidiu ahitai. Kino loi ute! Absalom ahung lhun masanga khopi sunga kon epotdoh ule, eiho ehiuvin chule Jerusalem khopi sung jong toset akon huidoh thei ding ahi, ati.

And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for there will not [else] be any escape for us from Abshalom: make haste, to depart, lest he make haste and overtake us suddenly and overwhelm us with evil, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.

15 Hichun David lengpa kithopi hon jong ama chu adonbut un, keiho nangma toh kaumjing naove, hijeh chun nangman aphapen ahi tia nagel chu bol tan atiuve.

And the king's servants said unto the king, In accordance with all that my Lord the king may choose, are thy servants ready.

16 Hijeh chun lengpa jong akipat doh pai paiyin a insung mite jouse jong anunga akitol tauve. Chule lengpan in ngah dinga thaikem numei som adalhah tilou koima cha adalha pon ahi.

And the king went forth, and all his household in his train. And the king left behind ten women, who were concubines, to guard the house.

17 Hitia lengpa apot doh jeng phat’in mipin anung ajui cheh-taovin ahi; acheu chun khopi ning langa veng pam nu nung pen tah a in khat a aki ngauvin ahi.

And the king went forth, and all the people in his train, and tarried in a place that was far off.

18 Chule lengpa lhacha ho jousen ama akhelsoh kei uvin ahi. Gath khoa kipat’a David nung hinjui ho chu mi jagup ahiuvin amaho cheng chu lengpa vengbit a umho toh hung kilhon ahiu vin ahi.

And all his servants passed on alongside of him, and all the Kerethites, and all the Pelethites; and all the Gittites, six hundred men, who were come in his train from Gath, passed on before the king.

19 David lengpa chu akihei in Gath mite lah a lamkai Ittai kom achun asei tan ahi, “Ipi dinga nangma keiho to nakilhon ham? Chule nangma kinunglen lang Absalom lengpa kom gaumtan, ajeh chu nangma gamchom mi nahin, among monga jong na-in a kona hikoma soh changa hung khopem nahibouve.

Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore wilt thou also go with us? turn back and abide with the king; for thou art a stranger, and also an exile from thy place.

20 Chujongle nangma jania hung lhung bep’a hoilam kajot ding chule hoilama kache ding bon kihe louva iti tunia ken nangma keiho banga kagenthei sah ding ham? Kile kit tan, chule nasopteu kipuiyin lang kile kit mong mong tan; chule Pakai in amingailut nale akitahna namusah jing hen,” ati.

Yesterday thou camest; and today should I move thee about with us to wander? seeing that I go whither I may: return thou, and take back thy brethren with thee, in kindness and truth.

21 Ahinla Ittai chun lengpa chu adonbut’in, “Pakai hing jing min e kapu lengpa hinlai pet’a kasei ahi, kapu lengpa chuh chuh na a thina ding mun hihen, hinna ding mun hijong le, nachi chi na a chu nasohpa kei jong kahung jeng ding ahibouve,” ati.

And Ittai answered the king, and said, As the Lord liveth, and as my Lord the king liveth, surely in whatever place my Lord the king may be, whether for death or for life, even there will thy servant be.

22 Chuphat’in David jong chun adonbut in, “akhuti le aphai hungun chikhom ute,” atileh; Ittai jong ache masan, amite chengse le aki lhonpi nu nao chapang jouse chutoh akitol tau’ve.

And David said then to Ittai, Go and pass on. And Ittai the Gittite passed on, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.

23 Mipi chutia akitol jeng phat’uvin gamsung pumpi chu o thong jejun akap tauve; chule lengpa jong achen Kidron lui agal kai tai, hiti hin mipi abonchauvin gamsung lam jon in akitol doh tauvin ahi.

And all the [people of the] country wept with a loud voice, as all the people passed on: and the king passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, along the way to the wilderness.

24 Chule Zadok jong Levi te se se jong ahiuvin, Pathen kitepna thingkong chu ahinpu’uvin ahi; chuin mipi aboncha khopi akhokhel kah seuvin Abiathar injong pathen hengah kilhaina abollin Pathen thingkong chu tol'a a ngau’vin ahi.

And lo, Zadok also, and all the Levites with him, were bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down the ark of God; and Ebyathar went up, until all the people had finished passing out of the city.

25 Hichun lengpan jong Zadok koma chun hitin aseiye, “Pathen thingkong hi khopi sunga polut kit tan, Ajeh chu Pakayin avet’a eilungset’a ahileh eihin puikit intin, hiche thingkong le achenna mun hi eimusah kit teitei ding ahi;

And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city; if I shall find favor in the eyes of the Lord, he will bring me back again, and show me both it, and his dwelling;

26 Amavang Pakaiyin, ‘Nachunga kalung alhaipoi,’ tia aseiya ahileh, keima hikoma kaum jinge, aman aphatsah lam lamin eibol jeng hen,” ati.

But if he should thus say, I have no delight in thee: here am I, let him do to me as seemeth good in his eyes.

27 Chule lengpan Zadok thempupa koma hitin jong aseiye, “Ven, hichehi kalungtup ahi. nang le Abiathar chule nachapa te ni lhon Ahimaaz nangma chapa le Jonathan Abiathar chapa chutoh thipchat in khopi lam kinungle taovin.

The king said also unto Zadok the priest, If thou see the justice of this, return to the city in peace: and your two sons, Achima'az thy son, and Jonathan the son of Ebyathar, are with you.

28 Chule keima Jordan vadunga kana kingah ding nanghon thu neihung hetsah kah seuva kana nga nga jeng ding ahi,” ati.

See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until there come word from you to bring me news.

29 Hijeh chun Zadok le Abiathar chun Pathen thingkong chu Jerusalem khopi sunga anung poh lut kit lhonin, chule khopi sunga aumden lhontan ahi.

Zadok therefore and Ebyathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they remained there.

30 Ahin David vang chu Olive thinglhang vum lama akaltou in, alamjot pum pumin akap peh jeng in, chule akeng keovin lam ajotin, ponlu aki khuh in ahi; chujongle akilhonpi mipi jong chun abonchauvin ponlu aki khuh soh keiyun, akitol tou paiyun, chule mipi jouse jong chu kap pum pumin lam ajot’un ahi.

And David went up by the ascent of the mount of Olives, weeping as he went up, and had his head covered, and he was walking barefoot: and all the people that were with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.

31 Hichun mihon David koma thu guh ahung sei peh un hitin asei uve, “Ahithophel jong leng pa doumah bol miho lah a apang in, chule Absalom toh aki thokhom e,” ahung ti peh’uve. Chuphat’in David jong chun hitin aseiye, “Vo Pakai, Ahithophel lungthim ngaito jouse chu ngol nan heidoh peh tan, tia katao ahi,” ati.

And some one told David, saying, Achithophel is among the conspirators with Abshalom. And David said, I pray thee, turn into foolishness the counsel of Achithophel, O Lord!

32 Hichun Pathen kihouna mun molvum asang lai a chun David ahung kaldoh phat’in vetan, David golpa Arkite mi Hushai kitipa chu a sangkhol chol akibot tel san alu jang a leivui akinun David lam to din ahung e.

And it came to pass, that, when David was come to the top, where he used to bow himself down to God, behold, Chushai the Arkite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head.

33 Hichun David jong chun Hushai koma hitin aseiye, “Nangman nei kilhonpi le chun kei dinga noh phah sah na hi bep ding ahi.

And David said unto him, If thou passest on with me, thou wouldst be a burden unto me;

34 Chu sang in nangma Jerusalem khopi sunga lut’in lang Absalom koma chun, ‘Vo lengpa, masang laiya napa lhacha kapan bang chun, tunjong keima hi nangma lhachan neipan sah tan,’ ga tin; chuti chun pang theile chun nangman Ahithophel kitipa lung gel ngaito chu nasuh lhah thei ding ahi.

But if thou shouldst return to the city, and say unto Abshalom, Thy servant will I be, O king; thy father's servant have I been this long time past, and now will I also be thy servant: then mightest thou defeat for me the counsel of Achithophel.

35 Khosunga khu Zadok le Abiathar thempu teni chun nangma napanpi lou dinga nagel ham? Hiti hin gabol in lang, ipi pi hijongle nangman lengpa insunga kaseidoh najah chan chu Zadok le Abiathar thempu te ni koma hin sei son ji jin ati.

And, behold, thou hast with thee there Zadok and Ebyathar the priests; therefore shall it be, that what thing soever thou mayest hear out of the king's house, shalt thou tell to Zadok and Ebyathar the priests.

36 Chule epipi thil um hitam ti hetnadia chu achapa te ni lhon Ahimaaz le Jonathan chu ahinsol jiji; hon ding ahi.

Behold, they have there with them their two sons. Achima'az for Zadok, and Jonathan for Ebyathar: and ye shall send by means of them unto me whatever thing ye can hear.

37 Hijeh chun David golpa Hushai chu Abalom Jerusalem khopi sunga ahung lut pet tah chun ama jong khopi sunga ahung lut’in ahi.

So Chushai, David's friend, came into the city, as Abshalom had just resolved to enter into Jerusalem.
