2 Samuel 17
1 Moreover Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night.
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.
2 And I will come upon him while he is weary and weak-handed, and will make him afraid. And all the people who are with him shall flee. And I will only smite the king,
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.
3 and I will bring back all the people to thee. The man whom thou seek is as if all returned, so all the people shall be in peace.
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.
4 And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel.
Athusei hin Absalom alung lhai sah lheh jeng in, chule Israel chunga lamkai ho jouse jong abonchauvin alung lhaisah soh hel tan ahi.
5 Then Absalom said, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he says.
Chuphat’in Absalom chun hitin aseiye, “Arkite mi Hushai chu hinpuilut uvin, aman ipi agel a asei em, ngai u hite,” ati.
6 And when Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom spoke to him, saying, Ahithophel has spoken after this manner. Shall we do after his saying? If not, speak thou.
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.
7 And Hushai said to Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel has given this time is not good.
Hijeh chun Hushai jong chun Absalom koma chun aseipaiyin, “Tuchunga Ahithophel mi hilna hi thilpha ahipoi,” ati tai.
8 Hushai said moreover, Thou know thy father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field. And thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.
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.
9 Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some other place. And it will come to pass, when some of them are fallen at the first, that whoever hears it will say, There is a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.
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.
10 And even he who is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, will utterly melt, for all Israel knows that thy father is a mighty man, and those who are with him are valiant men.
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.
11 But I counsel that all Israel be gathered together to thee, from Dan even to Beersheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude, and that thou go to battle in thine own person.
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.
12 So we shall come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falls on the ground, and of him and of all the men who are with him we will not leave so much as one.
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.
13 Moreover, if he be gotten into a city, then all Israel shall bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river until there be not one small stone found there.
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.
14 And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For Jehovah had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that Jehovah might bring evil upon Absalom.
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.
15 Then Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel, and thus and thus have I counseled.
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.
16 Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Do not lodge this night at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means pass over, lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people who are with him.
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.
17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying by En-rogel. And a maid-servant used to go and tell them, and they went and told king David, for they might not be seen to come into the city.
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.
18 But a lad saw them, and told Absalom. And they went away quickly, both of them, and came to the house of a man in Bahurim who had a well in his court, and they went down there.
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.
19 And the woman took and spread the covering over the well's mouth, and spread ground grain on it. And nothing was known.
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.
20 And Absalom's servants came to the woman to the house, and they said, Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said to them, They have gone over the brook of water. And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.
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.
21 And it came to pass, after they were departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David. And they said to David, Arise ye, and pass quickly over the water, for thus Ahithophel has counseled against you.
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.
22 Then David arose, and all the people who were with him, and they passed over the Jordan. By the morning light there lacked not one of them who was not gone over the Jordan.
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.
23 And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his donkey, and arose, and got home to his city, and set his house in order, and hanged himself. And he died, and was buried in the sepulcher of his father.
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.
24 Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
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.
25 And Absalom set Amasa over the army instead of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man, whose name was Ithra the Israelite, who went in to Abigal the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah, Joab's mother.
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.
26 And Israel and Absalom encamped in the land of Gilead.
Chuin Israel chate leh Absalom hin Gilead gamsung a ngahmun asem tauvin ahi.
27 And it came to pass, when David came to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodebar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
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.
28 brought beds, and basins, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and meal, and roasted grain, and beans, and lentils, and roasted pulse,
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.
29 and honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of the herd, for David, and for the people who were with him, to eat. For they said, The people are hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.
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.
