< Kings II 14 >
1 And Joab the son of Saruia knew that the heart of the king was towards Abessalom.
Chuin lengpan Absalom hi angai cha lheh jeng taiti Zeruiah chapa Joab hin ahin hetdoh tan ahi.
2 And Joab sent to Thecoe, and took thence a cunning woman, and said to her, Mourn, I pray you, and put on mourning apparel, and anoint you not with oil, and you shall be as a woman mourning for one that is dead thus for many days.
Joab hin mi asolin Tekoa khosunga mi numei chingtah khat aga hol doh sah in, amanu koma chun asei tai, “Nangma tun lunghem a pul dou dou jeng tobang'in kisem in, pul douna ponsil kisil’in lang, thao jeng jong kinu dan, ajeh chu phat sottah sunga thi op’a um numei pul dou dou jeng bangin um'in ati.
3 And you shall go to the king, and speak to him according to this word. And Joab put the words in her mouth.
Chutengle lengpa koma ga chelut’inlang, ajah a hitin ga sei in, “ati, Joab chun asei ding thu jouse abonchan amanu chu athu mop tai.
4 So the woman of Thecoe went in to the king and fell upon her face to the earth, and did him obeisance, and said, Help, O king, help.
Tekoa khosunga numeinu chu lengpa koma ahung phat’in abohkhup in tol'a amai asulut in jana ape tai, chule aman aseiyin, “Vo lengpa, nei pan pin,” ati.
5 And the king said to her, What is the matter with you? And she said, I am indeed a widow woman, and my husband is dead.
Hichun lengpan jong adong in, “Na gentheina ipi pen ham?” atileh, amanun adonbut’in, O kaden, keima meithainu kahi, kaji pa athia ahitai ati.
6 And moreover your handmaid had two sons, and they fought together in the field, and there was no one to part them; and the one struck the other his brother, and killed him.
Chule nasoh nu kei hin chapa ni kaneiyin, amani chu lou jaova ahung kibao lhonin akina lhone; hichun amani phel khen ding mihem khat cha anaum lou jeh in khatpan khatjoh pachu ajep’in athat pai tai.
7 And behold the whole family rose up against your handmaid, and they said, Give up the one that struck his brother, and we will put him to death for the life of his brother, whom he killed, and we will take away even your heir: so they will quench my coal that is left, so as not to leave my husband remnant or name on the face of the earth.
Hijeh chun tun vetan, insung pumpi ahung kon uvin nasoh nu hi eidel khum’uvin hitin asei uve, Asopipa that pachu hinlha doh loiyin, aman asopi pa athat in ahinkho khel a keihon ama katha diu ahi,’ tin aseiyuve; hitobang hin amahon ama chilhah jong asuh bei teidiu dol ahitai. Hitia hi amahon keima mei-am jeng jong achen mit uva hiche leiset chunga kaji pa min asuh mang diu, achi khai ding jong aumsah lou diu ahitai,” ati.
8 And the king said to the woman, Go in peace to your house, and I will give commandment concerning you.
Chuphat’in lengpan jong numei nu koma chun hitin aseiye, “keima boldin dalhan lang, Na’in lama chen, keiman anavesui tange koiman atohkhah lou nadin,’ tin asol tai.
9 And the woman of Thecoe said to the king, On me, my lord, O king, and on my father's house [be] the iniquity, and the king and his throne [be] guiltless.
Chuin Tekoa khoa hung kon numeinu chun lengpa koma chun hitin asei kit’e, kakipah e, kapu lengpa chule “Kapu lengpa chu keima eikithopi jeh a nahin seiset khah uleh themmona chu keima le ka inkote chunga chujo hen, lengpa le alaltou na vang themmona beiyin umjo hen,’ tin aseiye.
10 And the king said, Who was it that spoke to you? you shall even bring him to me, and [one] shall not touch him any more.
Chuin lengpan asei kit in, “Mihem khat touvin nakoma thu asei kit’a ahileh ama chu kei koma hin pui jeng in, ama chun nang ma natham khah kit louhel ding ahi,’ ati peh e.
11 And she said, Let now the king remember concerning his Lord God in that the avenger of blood is multiplied to destroy, and let them not take away my son. And he said, [As] the lord lives, not a hair of your son shall fall to the ground.
Hichun amanun jong asei kit in, “Lungset tah in Pakai na Pathen henga nei taopeh teitei in, chutia chu thisan phu lanom pan mi atha kit louva, kachapa atha louna din,’ atileh; lengpan jong aseipeh-in, “Pakai hing jing mina kasei ahi, nachapa chu asamjang khat jeng cha jong kisubui lou ding ahi,’ ati tai.
12 And the woman said, Let now your servant speak a word to my lord the king. And he said, Say on.
Hichun numei nun asei kit’in, “Lungset tah-in nasohnu kei hi kapu lengpa koma thu cheng khat beh neisei sah thei kit ding ham,’ atia ahileh; lengpan jong, “Seiyin seiyin,” ati.
13 And the woman said, Why have you devised this thing against the people of God? or [is] this word out of the king's mouth as a transgression, so that the king should not bring back his banished?
Hichun numei nun asei in, “Chuti ahileh ipi dinga nangman Pathen mite douna a hitobang thilgon hi nanei ham? Ijeh-inem itileh lengpan hitobanga thutanna naneiya kon hin lengpan nadel mangpa inlama napuilut loujeh-in nathu tan hi nangma chungma ma a nakitan ahi tai ati.
14 For we shall surely die, and be as water poured upon the earth, which shall not be gathered up, and God shall take the life, even as he devises to thrust forth from him his outcast.
Ajeh chu eiho Ibon chauva athi cheh ding Ihiu’ve, chule Ibon chauva tol'a twi kisung lha kinung thaldoh kit thei lou tobang ihiuvin ahi, Pathen in jong mithi long damsa chu phong doh kit deh tapon te; chule lengpa chun ama toh ekikhan teng ule ama toh ihung eumkhom theikit nadiu aneiyin ahi.
15 And now whereas I came to speak this word to my lord the king, [the reason is] that the people will see me, and your handmaid will say, Let one now speak to my lord the king, if perhaps the king will perform the request of his handmaid;
Chule keima hiche thuseiya hi kapu lengpa heng hung kahi, ipijeh-inem itileh mipi hin keima eitijat sah tauvin chuphat’a nasohnu ken jong hitia hi kagela, ‘Keiman lengpa koma gasei tange, ijem itileh lengpan asohnu kei thuseihi ngai jeng khat nan’te
16 for the king will hear. Let him rescue his handmaid out of the hand of the man that seeks to cast out me and my son from the inheritance of God.
Chule lengpan jong eisumang ding miho khut’a eihuh doh tei ding ahi, Pathen mite lah a ei suhmang sah lou ding ahi.’
17 And the woman said, If now the word of my lord the king be gracious, —[well]: for as an angel of God, so [is] my lord the king, to hear good and evil: and the Lord your God shall be with you.
Henge, kapu lengpan lungthim chamna eihin pih kit diu ahi. chule keiman kahen nangma hi thilpha thilse hekhen dola Pathen vantil tabang nahi. Pakai na-Pathenin napanpi jing hen,” ati.
18 And the king answered, and said to the woman, Hide not from me, I pray you, the matter which I ask you. And the woman said, Let my lord the king by all means speak.
Hichun lengpan jong numeinu chu adonbut’in, “Keiman kadoh doh chu ipi hijong le imlou hellin neihin seipi in ati. Hichun numeinun jong aseiyin, “Kapu lengpan na seinom nom sei jengin,’ atitai.
19 And the king said, [Is] not the hand of Joab in all this matter with you? and the woman said to the king, [As] your soul lives, my lord, O king, there is no turning to the right hand or to the left from all that my lord the king has spoken; for your servant Joab himself charged me, and he put all these words in the mouth of your handmaid.
Hichun lengpan adong in, “Thil hijatpi nasei na a hi nangma Joab chutoh kihoutoh a kikhut jop nahim?” atileh; numeinu jong chun adonbut’in, “Kapu lengpa, eti kem kaseilep ding ham? Koima chan nangma kommah emacha sel thei ponte. Henge, Joab in eihinsol a chule thu hijat pi hi aman nasohnu keima hi eithumop’a ka kamsung'a eikhumpeh ahinai ati.
20 In order that this form of speech might come about [it was] that your servant Joab has framed this matter: and my lord is wise as [is] the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.
Nalhacha Joab chun nalung nakhel a thil kigon dol jouse nakhel doh ding gelkhoh na a hiche hi abol anahi. Ahoi chu hita leh kapu nangma hi leiset chunga um thil ijakai hetna dol a na chih dan mong mong Pathen Vantil chihna tobang bang a hi bou’ve,” atin ahi.
21 And the king said to Joab, Behold now, I have done to you according to this your word: go, bring back the young man Abessalom.
Chutah chun lengpan jong Joab koma asei in asol tan ahi, aphai tun chinlang golhangpa Absalom chu ga nung pui lut tan,” ati.
22 And Joab fell on his face to the ground, and did obeisance, and blessed the king: and Joab said, To-day your servant knows that I have found grace in your sight, my lord, O king, for my lord the king has performed the request of his servant.
Chuin Joab jong chu tol'a abohkhup in, jana apen, lengpa phatthei aboh in, hiti hin Joab chun asei tai, “Tuni hin kapu lengpa mitmun lungset na kachang mong mong e, ti na soh pa thil ngeh khoh pen hi nanop peh jenge,’ ati.
23 And Joab arose, and went to Gedsur, and brought Abessalom to Jerusalem.
Chuin Joab jong akipat doh paiyin Geshur gam'a achen Absalom chu Jerusalem a ahin lepui tai.
24 And the king said, Let him return to his house, and not see my face. And Abessalom returned to his house, and saw not the king's face.
Ahin lengpan hitin thupeh aneiye, “Absalom hi ama insunga chimei thei ahi, ahin keima angsunga vang hung vah lut thei louhel ding ahi,” ati. Hijeh chun Absalom in lengpa cu amutapon ahi.
25 And there was not a man in Israel so very comely as Abessalom: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.
Tun Israel chate lah a Absalom tobanga amel hoi jeh a seiphat thei dang koima cha anaum poi; Absalom hi akeng khotal juma pat alujang gei a achunga nolna ding imacha beihel ahi.
26 And when he polled his head, (and it was at the beginning of every year that he polled it, because it grew, heavy upon him, ) even when he polled it, he weighed the hair of his head, two hundred shekels according to the royal shekel.
Alujang sam chu kumkhat a khatvei bou ache ji ahi chule ajeh chu agih behseh jijeh ahi. hitia hi asam akivoa thil te naa atea ahileh, asam jeng jong chu shekel ja ni cheng agih jin ahi.
27 And there were born to Abessalom three sons and one daughter, and her name was Themar: she was a very beautiful woman, and she becomes the wife of Roboam son of Solomon, and she bears to him Abia.
Absalom hin chapa thum ahing in, chule chanu khat jong ahing in, achanu min chu Tamar akiti; Tamar jong hi numei hoi tah khatma ahi.
28 And Abessalom remained in Jerusalem two full years, and he saw not the king's face.
Hiti hin Absalom hi kum ni lhingset Jerusalema acheng ahin, hijongle lengpa ang sungah khatvei cha avah lut kha hih beh in ahi.
29 And Abessalom sent to Joab to bring him in to the king, and he would not come to him: and he sent to him the second time, and he would not come.
Chuin Absalom chun Joab kou dingin mi asol’in, ahunga ahileh lengpa koma sol din agon; ahinla Joab chu Absalom koma ahung tapon ahi. Hichun Joab in mi asol kit’in, ahi vang'in Joab chu ahung deh kit poi.
30 And Abessalom said to his servants, Behold, Joab's portion in the field [is] next to mine, and he has in it barley; go and set it on fire. And the servants of Abessalom set the field on fire: and the servants of Joab come to him with their clothes tore, and they said to him, The servants of Abessalom have set the field on fire.
Chuphat’in aman jong asoh te koma asei in, “Veuvin, Joab lou khu keima lou ban tah ahin, cheuvin lang alou laiya khu mei in gahal vam tauvin,” ati. Hijeh chun Absalom soh ten jong Joab lou chu meiyin agahal vam tao vin ahi.
31 And Joab arose, and came to Abessalom into the house, and said to him, Why have your servants set my field on fire?
Chuphat’in Joab jong akipat doh in Absalom koma achen akoma hitin aseiye, “Ipi dinga nasoh ten kalou meiya ahal vam jeng u hitam?” aga tie.
32 And Abessalom said to Joab, Behold, I sent to you, saying, Come hither, and I will send you to the king, saying, Why did I come out of Gedsur? it would have been better for me to have remained there: and now, behold, I have not seen the face of the king; but if there is iniquity in me, then put me to death.
Hichun Ab’salom jong chun Joab chu adonbut’in, “Vetan, keiman nahenga thu kahin thot jin, ‘Hikoma hungin keiman lengpa koma nasol ing ting, “Ipi ding pen tah a keima hi Geshur gam'a kona hung khoh khoh a kahiya, kei dinga Geshur gam'a umden chu nomjo dinga?” tin aseiye, tia gadoh sah ding kati nahi. Tujengin jong lengpa angsunga neilut sah mong mong in lang keiman themmona kaneiya ahijong leh aman eithat jeng hen,’ ati tia ga sei sah ding kati ahi,” ati.
33 And Joab went in to the king, and brought him word: and he called Abessalom, and he went in to the king, and did him obeisance, and fell upon his face to the ground, even in the presence of the king; and the king kissed Abessalom.
Hijeh chun Joab jong lengpa koma achen aga seipeh tan ahileh, hichun lengpan jong Absalom chu akoutai. Chuin Absalom jong lengpa koma ahungin, lengpa angsunga chun abohkhup in amai tol'a asulut in jana apen ahi; chuin lengpan jong Absalom chu achop tai.
