< 2 Samuel 15 >
1 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared for him a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
Te phoeiah tah Absalom loh amah ham leng neh marhang neh a hmaiah aka yong la hlang sawmnga te a hmoel.
2 And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate. And it was so, that, when any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called to him, and said, Of what city are thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
Te phoeiah Absalom Te hlah uh tih vongka kah longpuei kaep ah pai. Te vaengah tuituknah a khueh tih manghai mikhmuh kah laitloeknah paan ham aka om hlang carhui Te Absalom loh a khue. Te phoeiah, “Nang me kho lamkah lae?” a ti nah hatah, “Na sal he Israel koca pakhat ni,” a ti nah.
3 And Absalom said to him, See, thy matters are good and right, but there is no man appointed by the king to hear thee.
Te vaengah anih te Absalom loh, “So lah, na ol tah then tih langya dae nang ol te manghai loh a hnatun moenih,” a ti nah.
4 Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any suit or case might come to me, and I would do for him justice!
Te phoeiah khaw Absalom loh, “Khohmuen ah lai aka tloek la kamah he dawk ng'khueh koinih tuituknah aka khueh hlang boeih loh kai taengla ha pawk vetih laitloeknah dongah anih te ka tang sak suidae,” a ti nah.
5 And it was so, that, when any man came near to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took hold of him, and kissed him.
Te dongah a om nah kung ah anih bawk hamla aka mop hlang boeihTe a kut a doe tih a kop phoeiah a mok.
6 And on this manner Absalom did to all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
Hekah olka bangla Absalom loh manghai kah laitloeknah aka paan Israel rhoek boeih taengah a saii. Te dongah Absalom loh Israel hlang rhoek kah lungbuei te a huen pah.
7 And it came to pass at the end of forty years, that Absalom said to the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to Jehovah, in Hebron.
Kum sawmli a poeng nen tah Absalom loh manghai taengah, “Ka cet mai saeh lamtah Hebron ah BOEIPA taengah ka saii ka olcaeng te ka thuung mai pawn eh.
8 For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If Jehovah shall indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will serve Jehovah.
Aram Geshuri kah kho ka sak vaengah ni na sal loh olcaeng he a caeng coeng. Te vaengah, 'BOEIPA loh kai he Jerusalem ah m'bal la m'bal puei atah BOEIPA taengah tho ka thueng eh?,’ ka ti ta,” a ti nah.
9 And the king said to him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron.
Te daengah anih te manghai loh, “Sading la cet ne,” a ti nah. Te dongah thoo tih Hebron la cet.
10 But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom is king in Hebron.
Tedae Absalom loh Israel koca boeih taengah longyam a tueih tih, “Tuki ol na yaak uh vaengah, 'Absalom tah Hebron ah manghai la om coeng,'ti uh ne,” a ti nah.
11 And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem who were invited, and went in their simplicity. And they did not know anything.
Te vaengah Jerusalem lamkah a khue hlang yahnih loh Absalom te a caeh puei. Amih Te ngaimong ngaitoe la cet uh dae olka pakhat khaw a ming uh moenih.
12 And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counselor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong, for the people increased continually with Absalom.
David kah olrhoep Giloh Ahithophel te hmueih a nawn na kungah amah kho Giloh lamkah Te Absalom loh a tah. Anih neh lairhui te om rhapsat dae pilnam khaw Absalom taengla muep cet.
13 And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.
Te vaengah David taengla aka puen te ha pawk tih, “Israel hlang kah a lungbuei tah Absalom taengla om coeng,” a ti nah.
14 And David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee, for otherwise none of us shall escape from Absalom. Make speed to depart, lest he overtake us quickly, and bring down evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.
Te dongah David loh Jerusalem kah amah taengah aka om a sal rhoek boeih te, “Thoo uh lamtah, yong uh pawn sih, Absalom mikhmuh lamloh mamih ham loeihnah om mahpawh, pahoi caeh ham om. Mamih he buengrhuet ng'kae vetih mamih soah yoethae hang heh phoeiah tah khopuei te cunghang ha neh ngawn ve,” a ti nah.
15 And the king's servants said to the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king shall choose.
Manghai kah sal rhoek loh manghai te, “Ka boei manghai kah a coelh bangla na sal rhoek boeih ka om uh he,” a ti uh.
16 And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house.
Te phoeiah tah manghai neh a kho kung kah a imkhui pum tah pahoi hlah uh. Tedae a yula huta parha te tah im tawt la manghai loh a caehtak.
17 And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and they remained in Beth-merhak.
Manghai neh a kho kungkah pilnam boeih Te hlah uh tih khohla bangsang kah im la pai uh.
18 And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
Te vaengah a kut hmuiah aka pongpa a sal boeih neh Kerethi boeih, Phelethi boeih neh Gath lamloh anih kho kungah aka pongpa Ghitti boeih tah hlang ya rhuk la manghai mikhmuh ah cet uh.
19 Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, Why do thou also go with us? Return, and abide with the king, for thou are a foreigner, and also an exile. Return to thine own place.
Tedae manghai loh Ghitti Ittai te, “Balae tih, kaimih taengah nang na pongpa he?, Mael lamtah manghai taengah ana om ngawn. Nang tah kholong neh na hmuen lamloh m'poelyoe uh nang khaw.
20 Whereas thou came but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us, seeing I go where I may? Return thou, and take back thy brothers. Mercy and truth be with thee.
Hlaem ah na pawk tih tihnin ah nang he kam poeng khaw kam poeng puei mai aya? Kaimih neh n'caeh vaengah me la ka pawk akaw ka cet to coeng. Sitlohnah neh oltak la mael lamtah na taengkah na manuca rhoek mael puei laeh,” a ti nah.
21 And Ittai answered the king, and said, As Jehovah lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether for death or for life, even there thy servant will also be.
Tedae Ittai loh manghai te a doo tih, “BOEIPA kah hingnah neh ka boeipa manghai kah hingnah dongah, ka boeipa manghai te mekah hmuen ah om mai tih, dueknah neh hingnah dongah khaw na sal he ha om bitni,” a ti nah.
22 And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.
Tedae David loh Ittai te, “Cet lamtah kat laeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Ghitti Ittai neh a hlang rhoek boeih, a taengkah camoe boeih te a kat puei.
23 And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over. The king himself also passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over toward the way of the wilderness.
Pilnam te boeih a khum vaengah kho tomah a ol neh bungbung rhap uh. Manghai loh Kidron soklong te a poeng daengah pilnam boeih loh khosoek longpuei kah rhaldan la thoeih uh pueng.
24 And, lo, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God, and Abiathar went up until all the people had finished passing out of the city.
Te vaengah Pathen kah paipi thingkawng aka kawt Zadok neh a taengkah Levi boeih long khaw Pathen kah thingkawng te dalh a hal uh. Te dongah khopuei lamkah aka nong ham pilnam te boeih a cing duela Abiathar loh a dom pah.
25 And the king said to Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city. If I shall find favor in the eyes of Jehovah he will bring me again, and show me both it, and his habitation.
Te vaengah manghai loh Zadok te, “Pathen kah thingkawng he khopuei la mael puei laeh, BOEIPA kah mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang tih kai m'mael puei atah amah neh a tolkhoeng te kai n'tueng bitni.
26 But if he says thus, I have no delight in thee, behold, here I am. Let him do to me as seems good to him.
Tedae, 'Nang te kang ngaih moenih,’ a ti oeh atah a mikhmuh ah a then a ti bangla kai taengah han saii nawn saeh,” a ti nah.
27 The king said also to Zadok the priest, Are thou not a seer? Return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
Te phoeiah manghai loh khosoih Zadok te, “Na taengkah na ca rhoi, na capa Ahimaaz neh Abiathar capa Jonathan khaw khopuei ah sading la mael puei ham na hmuh a?” a ti nah.
28 See, I will remain at the fords of the wilderness until there comes word from you to report to me.
“Ka hmuh, nangmih taeng lamkah ol aka thoeng Te kai taengla ha puen hil khosoek kah vahcaeh, kolken ah kan rhing ni,” a ti nah.
29 Therefore Zadok and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem, and they abode there.
Te dongah Zadok neh Abiathar loh Pathen kah thingkawng te Jerusalem la a mael puei rhoi tih pahoi om rhoi.
30 And David went up by the ascent of the mount of Olives, and wept as he went up, and he had his head covered, and went barefoot. And all the people who were with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
David Te olive kham ah a luei. A luei vaengah rhap tih a lu khoep a yil tih khotling la cet. A taengkah pilnam boeih long khaw a lu rhip a yil uh tih a caeh, caeh doela rhap uh.
31 And it was told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O Jehovah, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.
Te vaengah David taengla a puen pa tih, “Absalom neh aka ven uh rhoek khuiah Ahithophel khaw om,” a ti nah. Te dongah David loh, “BOEIPA aw, Ahithophel kah cilsuep te pavai sak laeh,” a ti.
32 And it came to pass, that, when David came to the top of the ascent, where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat torn, and dirt upon his head.
Som la a pawk vaengah David loh Pathen te a bawk. Te vaengah Arkii Hushai loh a angkidung pawnsoem neh a lu dongah laipi hoeng la David tarha a doe.
33 And David said to him, If thou pass on with me, then thou will be a burden to me,
Te dongah anih te David loh, “Kai taengah na pongpa koinih kai ham hnorhih la na om ni.
34 but if thou return to the city, and say to Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king. As I have been thy father's servant in time past, so I will now be thy servant, then thou will defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.
Tedae khopuei la na bal tih Absalom taengah, 'Kai tah manghai nang kah sal la ka om eh?, na pa kah sal lam khaw hlamat ah ka om coeng dae nang kah sal la ka om mai pawn eh?,’ na ti koinih Ahithophel kah cilsuep te kai ham na phae suidae.
35 And have thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? Therefore it shall be, that whatever thing thou shall hear out of the king's house, thou shall tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
Na taengah khosoih Zadok neh Abiathar te a om moenih a? Te daengah man manghai im kah olka na yaak boeih te khosoih Zadok neh Abiathar taengah na thui ve.
36 Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, Abiathar's son. And by them ye shall send to me everything that ye shall hear.
A ca rhoi, Zadok capa Ahimaaz neh Abiathar capa Jonathan khaw amih taengah pahoi om ta ke. Olka na yaak boeih Te amih kut lamkah loh kai taengla nam pat mako,” a ti nah.
37 So Hushai, David's friend, came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
Te dongah David kah olrhoep Hushai loh khopuei te a paan tih Jerusalem kah Absalom taengla kun.
