2 Samuel 17

1 Tun Ahithophel in Absalom koma hitin angeh tan ahi, “tujan ma ma David nung del pai din keiman Sepai sangsom le sangni kilhen doh inge ati.

Moreouer Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me chuse out now twelue thousand men, and I will vp and follow after Dauid this night,

2 Keiman David chu athachol pet tah le akingaiset pet tah a kaga met ding ahi. chule ama le a sepai te jouse kasuh kichat ding chuteng mijouse jammang soh ding chuteng keiman lengpa bou katha ding ahi ati.

And I will come vpon him: for he is wearie, and weake handed: so I will feare him, and all the people that are with him, shall flee, and I will smite the King onely,

3 Mipi ho vang chu abonchauva kahin puilut ding, mou thah akichen pi ding pa henga hung kipuilut banga in lam a kahin puilut ding ahibouve; chule nangman mi khat sheh bou tha dinga nahol ahin, chutengle mipi vang chu lung mong tah a umdiu ahitai,” ati.

And I will bring againe all the people vnto thee, and when all shall returne, (the man whome thou seekest being slaine) all the people shalbe in peace.

4 Athusei hin Absalom alung lhai sah lheh jeng in, chule Israel chunga lamkai ho jouse jong abonchauvin alung lhaisah soh hel tan ahi.

And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the Elders of Israel.

5 Chuphat’in Absalom chun hitin aseiye, “Arkite mi Hushai chu hinpuilut uvin, aman ipi agel a asei em, ngai u hite,” ati.

Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let vs heare likewise what he sayth.

6 Hichun Hushai chu Absalom kom ahinpuilut taovin chuin Absalomin Ahithophel thusei chu Hushai aseipih tan ahi, chuin aman adongin, nangma lunggel epi ham? Hinsei in ahilouleh Ahithophel thumop hi ijui jing diu hytam? Ahilouleh epi nathumop nom em ati.

So when Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom spake vnto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken thus: shall we doe after his saying, or no? tell thou.

7 Hijeh chun Hushai jong chun Absalom koma chun aseipaiyin, “Tuchunga Ahithophel mi hilna hi thilpha ahipoi,” ati tai.

Hushai then answered vnto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath giuen, is not good at this time.

8 Hichun Hushai chun asei be kit nalai e, “Napa ahin amite ahiuvin mihat ahi, ti nangman jong na hetsa ahi; chujong le amahohi akiphin lung hangsa ahiuvin, gamlah a anou kilah peh savompi tobang ahiuve. Hiche tilou jong hin napa chu gal bol them tah mi ana hi kit’e; hijeh chun ama hi mipi ho toh geh khom lou hel ding ahi, ati.

For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father, and his men, that they be strong men, and are chafed in minde as a beare robbed of her whelps in the fielde: also thy father is a valiant warrier, and will not lodge with the people.

9 Tu jenga jong achang seh a kokhuh dung khat a kisel ham, ahilou leh mun chom dang khat a kisel ding ahitai. Chule ama ahungdoh a nahin bulu teng uleh namite themkhat chu hungthi tei ding, chuteng nasepai te chunga tijat nale kichat na hung lhung ding, chule hitia hi Absalom’s mite chu akithat tai tia thu hung kithang ding ahi.

Behold, he is hid now in some caue, or in some place: and though some of them be ouerthrowen at the first, yet the people shall heare, and say, The people that follow Absalom, be ouerthrowen.

10 Chuteng le galhang miho alung put sakeibah kai lung put tobang jeng ho jong chu kicha a hung lung lhadai gam diu ahi; ajeh chu napa chu mihat tah ahin, apan pi miho jong chu gal hang mi jeng ahiu’ve, ti hi Israel pumpin ahin hetdoh ding ahi.

Then he also that is valiant whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall shrinke and faint: for all Israel knoweth, that thy father is valiant, and they which be with him, stout men.

11 Hijongle keima lunggel vang ahileh, Israel chate pumpi hi sahlam Dan gam'a apet lhanglam Beersheba gei in nangma koma hung kikhom soh kei u hen lang, twikhanglen pang a neldi jat aphah teng u leh nangma tah in mijouse chu lamkai lechun kati ahi.

Therefore my counsell is, that all Israel be gathered vnto thee, from Dan euen to Beer-sheba as the sand of the sea in nomber, and that thou goe to battell in thine owne person.

12 Chuti hen lang hileh eihon David chu emuteng uleh, achung a ichuh cheh uva, tol'a dai twi alhah bang banga achunga ikibuh lhah cheh diua ahi. khuti henlang hile ama ahin apan pi miho jouse puma khat’a khat jeng cha jong ahingdoh umlou diu ahi.

So shall we come vpon him in some place, where we shall finde him, and we will vpon him as the dewe falleth on the ground: and of all the men that are with him, wee will not leaue him one.

13 Chule ijem tin David chu khosung dung khat’a jamlut jongleh, Israel pumpin khao kipatsoh keiyin tin, chule akhopi chu kikai manghel’intin, song hal si khat geiya jong kidalha lou ding, ahi,” ati.

Moreouer if he be gotten into a citie, then shall all the men of Israel bring ropes to that citie, and we will draw it into the riuer, vntill there be not one small stone founde there.

14 Chuphat’in Absalom le Israel miten abonchauvin aseiyun, “Arkite mi Hushai thumop hi Ahithophel thumop sang in apha joi,” ati tau’ve. Ijeh-inem itileh Pakai in Absalom chunga thilse aso sah nom jeh a Ahithophel lung gel phatah chu suh lhah nadinga tohgon ananeisa ahitan ahi.

Then Absalom and all the men of Israel sayde, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better, then the counsell of Ahithophel: for the Lord had determined to destroy the good counsell of Ahithophel, that the Lord might bring euill vpon Absalom.

15 Hichun Hushai chun thempu te ni Zadok le Abiathar chu asei peh in, “Hitobang hin chule hiti hin Ahithophel chun Absalom le Israel upa ho ahil chah tai; hichun keiman jong hitobang hin kahil guh kit’in ahi, atitai.

Then said Hushai vnto Zadok and to Abiathar the Priests, Of this and that maner did Ahithophel and the Elders of Israel counsell Absalom: and thus and thus haue I counseled.

16 Hijeh chun tun mi sol loi lhon in lang David koma ga sei sah lhonin, ajeh chu ‘Tujan hin gamthip noi pal mun dunga ana geh hih beh in, iti nama jongle ana gal kai pai tei teiyin; achuti louva ahileh lengpa David le akilhonpi mite chu abonchauva min atha gam hel diu ahitai,’ tin ga sei sah lhon tan,” ati.

Now therefore sende quickely, and shewe Dauid, saying, Tarie not this night in the fieldes of the wildernesse, but rather get thee ouer, lest the King be deuoured and all the people that are with him.

17 Jonathan le Ahimaaz chun En-rogel mun a chu anga jing ji lhona, soh numei khat che’a amani chu thu aga pehji ahi; chutengle amani chepai kit ji lhona David lengpa agasei peh ji ji lhon ahi; Ijeh-inem itileh amani hi khopi sung ahung lut ji lhon le apotji lhon hi koimachan amu louhel nadinga umlhon ahi.

Now Ionathan and Ahimaaz abode by En-rogel: (for they might not be seene to come into the citie) and a maid went, and tolde them, and they went and shewed King Dauid.

18 Ahin golhang khat chun amani hi amudoh tan, hi chun golhang pachu achen Absalom koma aga sei peh tai; hijeh chun amani jong kin loi tah in ache mang loi lhonin, Bahurim khoa pasal khat insung a ahunglut lhonin ahileh, amapa hin a in vel'a chun twikul khat aneiye; hijeh chun amani jong twikul sunga chun alut lhon in akisel lhon tai.

Neuerthelesse a yong man sawe them, and tolde it to Absalom. therefore they both departed quickely, and came to a mans house in Bahurim, who had a well in his court, into the which they went downe.

19 Hichun numei khat hin twikul kam sin nading khat alan, akama chun aphan, achunga chun chang aphou khumin ahileh imacha aumlam akihe doh ta pon ahi.

And the wife tooke and spred a couering ouer the welles mouth, and spred ground corne thereon, that the thing should not be knowen.

20 Hichun Absalom sepaite chu hiche in mun a numeinu kom ahung phat’uvin ama hon jong, “Ahimaaz le Jonathan chu hoi lam a um lhon tam?” tia adoh uleh, numeinun jong ajah-uva asei peh in, “Amani chu twidung khu galkai lhon tan te” ati peh e. Amaho chun agahol’uvin amudoh joulou phat’uvin Jerusalem lama ahung kinungle kit tau’ve.

And when Absaloms seruants came to the wife into the house, they said, Where is Ahimaaz and Ionathan? And the woman answered them, They be gone ouer the brooke of water. And when they had sought them, and could not finde them, they returned to Ierusalem.

21 Hichun amaho ache phat’uvin Ahimaaz leh Jonathan chu twikul sunga konin ahung pot doh lhon in, achepai pai lhonin David lengpa aga sei peh lhon tan ahi. Amani hin David koma hitin asei lhon e, “Kipat doh loiyin lang, Jordan vadung gal kai loi tan ati; ajeh chu hitobang bang hin Ahithophel chun nang dou nan lung gel phalou lou mi ahil tai,” aga te lhon e.

And assoone as they were departed, the other came out of the well, and went and tolde King Dauid, and sayde vnto him, Vp, and get you quickely ouer the water: for such counsell hath Ahithophel giuen against you.

22 Chuphat’in David jong akipat doh pai pai in, ama lhonpi mipi chutoh akilhonin Jordan vadung agal kai tau’ve; chule khovah lhah phat in Jordan vadung galkai loulai khat cha aum tapou’ve.

Then Dauid arose, and all the people that were with him, and they went ouer Iorden vntil the dawning of the day, so that there lacked not one of them, that was not come ouer Iorden.

23 Ahithophel hin athumop chu koiman alah peh lou amu doh phat chun sangan chunga touna akiphan, akhopi ainlama achetai. Chuin aman ain alou agol toh soh keiyin, chujouvin amale ama akikhai lih tai. chuin mihon amahi apa lhankhuh ma man avui tau’ve.

Nowe when Ahithophel sawe that his counsell was not followed, he sadled his asse, and arose, and he went home vnto his citie, and put his houshold in order, and hanged him selfe, and dyed, and was buryed in his fathers graue.

24 David chu Mahanaim kiti laiya chun ahungin ahi. Absalom jong chun Jordan vadung ahinpal galkai in ama ahin Israel chate abonchauva ahiu vin ahung tau’ve.

Then Dauid came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed ouer Iorden, he, and all the men of Israel with him.

25 Absalom hin Joab khel’in asepaite lamkai din Amasa kitipa chu ana pan sah tan ahi. Chule Amasa kitipa hi Ishmael mi pasal khat amin Jether kitipa chapa ahin, Jether hin Joab nu, Zeru’iah sopinu Nahash kitinu chanu Abigail chu aki chenpin ahi.

And Absalom made Amasa captaine of the hoste in the stead of Ioab: which Amasa was a mans sonne named Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Ioabs mother.

26 Chuin Israel chate leh Absalom hin Gilead gamsung a ngahmun asem tauvin ahi.

So Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead.

27 David chu Mahanaim ahung lhun phat’in, Ammon mite kho Rabbah a konin Nahash chapa Shobi le Lodebar khoa kona Ammiel chapa Makir toh, chule Rogelim khoa kona Gilead mi Barzillai chutoh ahung un ahi.

And when Dauid was come to Mahanaim, Shobi the sonne of Nahash out of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the sonne of Ammiel out of Lo-debar, and Barzelai the Gileadite out of Rogel

28 Chuin lupna jalkhun phabep le kisil na kong ho, leibel phabep toh, suhlou chang le sakol chang, neh ding an, chule changpol kansa, louthul le bekan ahin pouvin ahi.

Brought beds, and basens, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and floure, and parched corne, and beanes, and lentiles, and parched corne.

29 Chujongle khoiju le bongnoiha ahin, kelngoi jong, bongnoi thao jong David le alhonpi miho neh ding chun ahinpou’ve; ijeh-inem itileh amaho hin asei uvin, “David le aloi te mipi hi gamthip laiya gilkel’uva tha lhasam tah a’umah ahi tauve,” atiuvin ahi.

And they brought hony, and butter, and sheepe, and cheese of kine for Dauid and for the people that were with him, to eate: for they said, The people is hungry, and wearie, and thirstie in the wildernesse.
