1 Hichun lengpa David chun apan pi sepai techu asim doh soh keiyin, achunguva mi asang sang chunga lamkai ding, aja ja chunga lamkai ding agoltoh soh kei tan ahi.
And he mustered David the people which [was] with him and he appointed over them commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds.
2 David chun sepai hop thum'a hop khat chu Joab alamkai sah in, hop thum'a hop khatma chu Joab sopi pa Zeruiah chapa Abishai chu alamkai sah kit in, chuteng le hop thum'a hop khat kit ma chu Gath mi Ittai chu alamkai sah in; hichun miho koma chun hitin aseiye, “Keima tah jong nangho toh gal ikon khom diu ahi,” ati.
And he sent out David the people the third [was] in [the] hand of Joab and the third [was] in [the] hand of Abishai [the] son of Zeruiah [the] brother of Joab and the third [was] in [the] hand of Ittai the Gittite. And he said the king to the people certainly I will go out also I with you.

Ijeh-inem itileh keiho hi hung galjam u jong leng, amahon iman igel khoh pouvin te, keiho akeh khat hel thi jeng tau jong leng amahon ima agel deh lou diu ahi. Nangma vang keiho mi sang som to kibang nahi; chujongle nangman khopi sunga kona kei ho panpi mi nahin sol thojoh ding hi thilphajo ahi,” atiuve.
And it said the people not you must go out for if certainly [if] we will flee not they will set to us heart and if they will die half of us not they will set to us heart for now like us ten thousand and therefore [is] good that you will be us from [the] city (to help. *Q(K)*)
4 Hichun lengpan jong hitin aseiye, “Ipi hita jongle nang ho dinga aphapen tah hi ding chu keiman kabol jeng ding ahi,” atitai. Hijeh chun lengpa chu kelkot phunga ading den in, sepai te vang chu aja jan asang sang in akitol doh tau’ve.
And he said to them the king [that] which it will be good in view your I will do and he stood the king to [the] side of the gate and all the people they went out to hundreds and to thousands.
5 Chuin lengpan Joab, Abishai chule Ittai chu ahil dem demin, “Keima ja nan gollhangpa Absalom chu lung neng tah in hin bol’uvin,” ati. Absalom chung changa lengpan sepai lamkai mithum athu lhah na chu mipin abonchan aja soh keiuve.
And he commanded the king Joab and Abishai and Ittai saying to gentleness for me to the young man to Absalom and all the people they heard when commanded the king all the commanders on [the] matter of Absalom.
6 Hiti hin sepai techu gamlah a Israel chate toh kisat din akon doh tao’ve; hichea chun Ephraim mite gamsung gammang lah a gal akisat tauvin ahi.
And it went out the people the field to meet Israel and it was the battle in [the] forest of Ephraim.
7 David sepai ten Israel mite chu ajou taove, hiche nikho a mi atha u chu atam lheh jeng in, mihem sang som ni alhinge.
And they were defeated there [the] people of Israel before [the] servants of David and it was there the slaughter great on the day that twenty thousand.
8 Gamsung pumpia gal a kithe chansoh kei tan, chule chemjam a kisat lih sang in gammang lah a ohlih mihem atamjon ahi.
And it was there the battle (scattered *Q(K)*) over [the] face of all the land and it increased the forest to consume among the people more than [those] whom it consumed the sword on the day that.
9 Absalom jong chun David sepaite atoh kha khel khel’in ahi. Absalom chu asakol pol chunga hung tou ahin, hichun sakol pol chu gangpi thing lentah khat abah kai nel nul lah khat a chun a lhailut’in abah lah ahopan ahileh, Absalom chu aluchang gangpi bah lah a a-oh den tai chule sakol pol chun adalhan anoiya ache pai tan ahi.

10 David sepai khat chun Absalom chu amudoh phat’in Joab koma asei peh in; “Ven, keiman Absalom chu gangpi phung bah lah a akikhai den kamui,” ati.
And he saw a man one and he told to Joab and he said there! I saw Absalom hung up in the oak.
11 Joab jong chun akoma thuseipa chu adong pai in, “ipi Absalom kamui natim? Ibola hikoma chu tol'a na satlup da ham? Chutin hinbol le chun keiman dangka shekel som khat beh le kong gah khat nape dinga chu,” ati.
And he said Joab to the man who had told to him and there! you saw and why? not did you strike down him there [the] ground towards and on me to give to you ten silver and a belt one.
12 Ahivang in mipa chun Joab koma asei kit e, “Keiman dangka shekel sang khat kamu ding hijong leh lengpa chapa tha na ding in kakhut lam hih hel inge; ijeh-inem itileh keiho jah tah in jong lengpan nangma le Abi’shai chule Ittai thu nape cheh-uvin, ‘Keima ja nan gollhangpa Absalom chu ahing in hin hoi teitei un,’ tin aseibouve.
And he said the man to Joab (and if *Q(k)*) I [were] weighing on hands my a thousand silver not I will stretch out hand my against [the] son of the king for in ears our he commanded the king you and Abishai and Ittai saying protect whoever the young man Absalom.
13 Lang khatma keiman kathi le kathi, tin jou le nal’in hin bol jeng jong leng, lengpa mudin imacha akisel theiya aum deh poi, chutengle nangman nang ding bou nagel a neidon lou hel ding ahi,” ati.
Or I had done (on life my *Q(K)*) falsehood and any thing not it is hidden from the king and you you will stand from in front.
14 Hichun Joab in asei paiyin, “Keiman hitobang hin nangma toh phat sumang mang ponge,” atin, gangpi phung bah lah a Absalom ahinga aum nah laiya ahileh tin Joab chun tengcha achom thum alan agah pei a ahileh Absalom lungchang don tah a akiphut tai.
And he said Joab not thus I will wait before you and he took three spears in hand his and he thrust them in [the] heart of Absalom still he [was] alive in [the] heart of the oak.
15 Chuin Joab galvon poa pang gollhang sepai som khat’in Absalom aumkim’uvin ajep’un athat tauve.
And they surrounded [him] ten young men [the] bearers of [the] armor of Joab and they struck Absalom and they killed him.
16 Chuin Joab chun saki pengkul amut’in ahi leh sepai ho chu Israel te nung adel nauva konin ahung kinungle soh keitauve.
And he gave a blast Joab on the trumpet and it turned back the people from pursuing after Israel for he restrained Joab the people.
17 Chuin amahon Absalom long chu adom lhauvin gammang lah a kokhuh lentah khat sunga aleh lut’uvin, achunga song tum tampi asep khum’uvin ahi; Israel chate vang chu ama ama inlam cheh a akijam lut sohtauvin ahi.
And they took Absalom and they threw him in the forest into the pit great and they set up over him a heap of stones great very and all Israel they fled each (to tents his. *Q(K)*)
18 Chule Absalom hin ahinlaiyin lengpa phaicham a chun khom khat ana phut doh in ahi; ijeh-inem itileh aman ana seiye, “Keiman kamin aman louna ding in chapa la kaneipon,” atin, akhom phudoh chu ama min aputsah in, hijeh chun hiche hi tuni gei in Absalom kihet jingna tin akiseiye.
And Absalom he had taken and he had set up for himself (in life his *Q(K)*) a pillar which [is] in [the] valley of the king for he said not [belongs] to me a son in order to cause to be remembered name my and he called the pillar on own name his and it has been called to it [the] monument of Absalom until the day this.
19 Chujouvin Zadok chapa Ahimaaz kitipa hin “Keima lhai jing ting, Pakaiyin amelmate khut’a kon in am, a ahuh doh tai, tin lengpa David koma ga seipeh tang e,” ati.
And Ahimaaz [the] son of Zadok he said let me run please and let me bear [the] news to the king that he has vindicated him Yahweh from [the] hand of enemies his.
20 Ahinla Joab chun ajah a aseiye, “Tuni nangma thupole a napan thei lou ding ahi; nidang dang leh thupon pang nan nate, tunia vang thupo a napan thei louhel ding ahi; ijeh-inem itileh lengpa chapa athi tai,” ati.
And he said to him Joab not [are] a man of news you day this and you will bear news on a day another and day this not you will bear [the] news for (since *Q(K)*) [the] son of the king he has died.
21 Chuin Joab chun mipa koma, “Nangma chen lang nathil mubang bang chun, lengpa ga seipeh tan,’ ati. Chuin mipa jong chu salam bolnan akun in, chujouvin alhai jel tai.
And he said Joab to the Cushite go tell to the king [that] which you have seen and he bowed down [the] Cushite to Joab and he ran.
22 Chujouvin jong Ahimaaz kitipa le Zadok chapa chun Joab koma hitin asei kit na lai e, “Asoh soh sohjeng hen, kei jong mipa nung a khun lhai tang e,’ ati kit leuvin ahi. Hichun Joab chun aphoh in, “Nathupoh jeh a kipaman bon mulou dinga, ipi pen deichat na a nangma nalhai jeng ding ham chapa?” ati.
And he repeated again Ahimaaz [the] son of Zadok and he said to Joab and may it be whatever let me run please also I after the Cushite and he said Joab why? this [are] you running O son my and [will belong] to you not good news finding.
23 Ahivang in aman, “Asoh soh soh jeng hen, kei jong lhai jeng ing e,” atia asei kit phat’in, Joab jong chun ajah a asei peh in, “Lhaijo lhai in,” ati tai. Chutah chun Ahimaaz chu phaicham lang Mahanaim lampi a chun alhai in ahi leh Ethopia mipa chu akhel tai.
And may it be whatever I will run and he said to him run and he ran Ahimaaz [the] way of the plain and he passed by the Cushite.

And David [was] sitting between [the] two the gates and he went the watchman to [the] roof of the gate to the wall and he lifted up eyes his and he saw and there! a man [was] running to only him.
25 Chuphat’in kelkot ngah pan leng pa ahin kouvin asei peh tai. Lengpan jong ale seipeh kit’in, aching ahileh thusoh ahinpoh ding ahi atin “Ahung lhailut pai pai in, ahin nailut tai.
And he called out the watchman and he told to the king and he said the king if to only him news [is] in mouth his and he came continuously and approaching.

And he saw the watchman a man another running and he called out the watchman to the gatekeeper and he said there! a man [is] running to only him and he said the king also this one [is] bearing news.

And he said the watchman I [am] seeing [the] running of the first [one] like [the] running of Ahimaaz [the] son of Zadok and he said the king [is] a man good this and with news good he is coming.
28 Chutah chun Ahimaaz hin lengpa ahin kouvin, “Ijakai aphasoh keiye,” ati. Chujongle ama chu lengpa angsung a abohkhup’in tol'a amai asulut’in aseiye, “Pakai na-Pathen, kapu lengpa douna akhut lam jouse eipedoh soh kei uvah ama chu nun nom hen,” ati.
And he called out Ahimaaz and he said to the king peace and he bowed down to the king to face his [the] ground towards. And he said blessed [be] Yahweh God your who he has delivered up the men who they lifted up hand their against lord my the king.
29 Hichun lengpan jong adong pai in, “Gollhangpa Absalom ima tilou hinam?” atileh, Ahimaaz chun adonbut’in, “Nasohpa hi Joab in eihin sol pet chun mihon pi kinong lul lul kamun, ipi iti ham ti kahepoi,” ati tai.
And he said the king [does] peace? [belong] to the young man to Absalom and he said Ahimaaz I saw the multitude great to send [the] servant of the king Joab and servant your and not I know whatever.
30 Chuphat’in lengpan jong, “kikhin doh inlang hikoma khun ga ding tan,” atileh; ama jong akikhin doh pai jeng in, ading thip beh jeng tai.

And here! the Cushite [was] coming and he said the Cushite let him receive [the] news lord my the king for he has vindicated you Yahweh this day from [the] hand of all those [who] rose up on you.

And he said the king to the Cushite ¿ [does] peace [belong] to the young man to Absalom and he said the Cushite let them be like the young man [the] enemies of lord my the king and all [those] who they have risen up on you for harm.
