2 Samuel 18
1 And David marshalled the people that were with him, and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them.
Devit ni ama koe kaawm e naw a touk teh 1000 kaukkung, 100 touh kaukkung kahrawikungnaw a rawi pouh.
2 And David sent forth the people, a third part under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also.
Devit ni tami a patoun teh hu thum touh dawk hu touh Joab ni a uk. Hahoi alouke hu thum touh dawk hu touh hah Joab e nawngha Zeruiah capa Abisai ni a uk. Kaawm rae hu touh hah Git tami Ittai ni a uk. Siangpahrang ni taminaw koe kai kama roeroe hai nangmouh koe ka cei van han telah ati.
3 But the people said, Thou shalt not go forth, for if we should in any case flee, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us; for thou art worth ten thousand of us; and now it is better that thou succour us out of the city.
Taminaw ni cet hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kaimanaw ka yawng awh nakunghai banglah pouk mahoeh. Kaimanaw tangawn kadout awh nakunghai banglah pouk mahoeh. Nang nama teh kaimanaw 10, 000 touh hlak aphu na o hnawn. Hatdawkvah, kaimanaw hah khopui thung hoi na kabawm pawiteh hoe kahawi han telah atipouh.
4 And the king said to them, I will do what is good in your sight. And the king stood by the gate-side, and all the people came out by hundreds and by thousands.
Siangpahrang ni ahawi na ti awh e patetlah ka sak van han, telah ati. Siangpahrang teh rapan longkha koe a kangdue. Taminaw 100 touh, 1000 touh e ransanaw lahoi a cei awh.
5 And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, [Deal] gently for my sake with the young man Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom.
Siangpahrang ni kaie minhmai na khet awh vaiteh, ka capa Absalom heh paiyai lah tet awh telah Joab, Abisai, Ittai tinaw koe lawk a thui. Hottelah siangpahrang ni Absalom hane lawk a thui navah, ransa kacuenaw ni lawk a thui e hah a thai awh.
6 And the people went out into the field against Israel; and the battle was in the forest of Ephraim.
Taminaw teh Isarelnaw tuk hanelah tarantuknae hmuen a pâtam awh. A kâtuknae a hmuen teh Ephraim ratu dawk doeh.
7 And the people of Israel were routed before the servants of David, and there was a great slaughter there that day: twenty thousand men.
Isarelnaw teh Devit e a sannaw e hmaitung vah a sung awh teh, haw e hnin dawk puenghoi kâtheinae lahoi tami 20, 000 touh a due awh.
8 And the battle was there scattered over the face of all the country; and the forest devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.
A hmuen tangkuem a kâtuk awh teh hat hnin dawk tami ni thei e hlak ratu dawk kadout e hoe a pap awh.
9 And Absalom found himself in the presence of David's servants. And Absalom was riding upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of the great terebinth, and his head caught in the terebinth, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was under him went away.
Devit e a sannaw ni Absalom hah a kâhmo awh. Ahni teh la a dawk tahung lahoi a bu ka rung poung e thingkung rahim a kâen teh a lû teh hote thingkang dawk a mang pouh. Kahlun langboung a kâbang teh la a madueng a yawng.
10 And a man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in a terebinth.
Kahmawt e tami buet touh ni Joab koevah, kathen dawk Absalom a kâbang e ka hmu telah atipouh.
11 And Joab said to the man that told him, And behold, thou sawest [him], and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee ten silver pieces and a girdle.
Joab ni na hmu katang e pawiteh bangkongmaw na thei hoeh. Talai vah na bo sak hoeh. Hottelah na sak pawiteh, tangka shekel 10 touh hoi taisawm na poe hane nahoehmaw telah atipouh.
12 And the man said to Joab, Though I should receive a thousand silver pieces in my hand, yet would I not put forth my hand against the king's son; for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Take care, whoever it be [of you], of the young man Absalom.
Ahni ni Joab koevah, tangka 1,000 touh ka hmu hane nakunghai siangpahrang e capa dawk ka kut ka pho mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka hnâthai roeroe vah siangpahrang ni nang hoi Abisai, Ittai koe thoundoun Absalom teh api nang ni hai tek hanh awh telah lawk na thui toe.
13 Or I should have acted falsely against mine own life, for there is no matter concealed from the king, and thou wouldest have set thyself against [me].
Kai ni ka thet pawiteh, kama ka kâdum e lah ka o teh, ka hringnae a loum hanelah ka o. Siangpahrang ni a panue hoeh e banghai awm hoeh. Nang hai a hmalah na kangdue van han telah ati.
14 Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three spears in his hand, and thrust them into Absalom's body, while he was yet alive in the midst of the terebinth.
Joab ni hettelah pawiteh, nang koe kasawlah kaawm thai mahoeh, telah ati. Tahroe kathum touh ka sin ni teh kathen kung dawk a hring lah ka kâbang e Absalom e a lung dawk pouk a thut pouh.
15 And ten young men that bore Joab's armour surrounded and smote Absalom, and killed him.
Joab e senehmaica ka sin e thoundoun 10 touh ni a kalup awh teh, Absalom teh kadout lah a thei awh.
16 And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel; for Joab kept back the people.
Joab ni mongka a ueng teh, Isarelnaw ka pâlei e hah koung a ban awh. Joab ni abuemlahoi a ngang awh.
17 And they took Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and raised a very great heap of stones upon him. And all Israel fled every one to his tent.
Absalom e ro a la teh, kahrawng e tangkom kadung poung e thung vah, a tâkhawng awh teh avan vah, talung a pung sin awh. Isarelnaw teh amamanaw aonae koe lengkaleng a ban awh.
18 Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a monument, which is in the king's dale; for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance; and he called the monument after his own name; and it is called unto this day, Absalom's memorial.
Absalom ni a hring nah siangpahrang yawn dawkvah lungdon sut la a sak toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka min a kahma hoeh nahanelah, ka capa hai ka tawn hoeh, telah ati. Hote lungdon hah a min a phu sak awh teh, atu totouh Absalom pahnim hoeh nahanelah ati awh.
19 And Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, Let me run, I pray, and carry the king the news that Jehovah has avenged him of his enemies.
Zadok capa Ahimaaz ni BAWIPA ni a taran moi a pathungnae kamthang hah siangpahrang koe ka dei han telah ati.
20 And Joab said to him, Thou shalt not be a bearer of news to-day, but thou shalt carry the news another day; but to-day thou shalt carry no news, because the king's son is dead.
Joab ni sahnin teh kamthang hah deih hanh ei, alouke hnin dawk na dei vainei. Siangpahrang e capa a due dawkvah, sahnin teh bang e kamthang hai dei hanh ei, telah atipouh.
21 Then said Joab to the Cushite, Go, tell the king what thou hast seen. And the Cushite bowed himself to Joab, and ran.
Joab ni Kushi tami koe, cet nateh na hmu e hah dei loe telah atipouh. Kushi tami ni Joab koe a lûsaling teh kut a man teh a yawng.
22 And Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said yet again to Joab, Come what may, let me, I pray thee, also run after the Cushite. And Joab said, Why wilt thou run, my son, seeing that there is no news suited [to thee]?
Zadok capa Ahimaaz ni Joab koevah, bangtelah nakunghai Kushi tami ka pâlei han telah ati. Joab ni ka capa kamthang kahawicalah kaawm hoeh e hah bangkongmaw yawngkhai han khuet na ngai telah atipouh.
23 — But, come what may, let me run. And he said to him, Run. And Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and outstripped the Cushite.
Bangtelah hai ka yawng han telah ati dawkvah, yawng loe atipouh. Hatnavah, Ahimaaz teh kahrawng lam lahoi a yawng teh Kushi tami a yawngtahrei.
24 And David sat between the two gates; and the watchman went up to the roof of the gate, on to the wall, and lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man running alone.
Devit teh rapan longkha a rahak vah a tahung. Ramveng teh longkha van lah a luen teh a khet navah a madueng ka yawng e tami a hmu.
25 And the watchman cried, and told the king. And the king said, If he be alone, there is news in his mouth. And he came on and drew near.
Ramveng ni a hram teh siangpahrang koevah a dei. Siangpahrang ni tami buet touh dueng pawiteh, kamthang dei hane a phu han doeh telah ati. A yawng teh rek a hnai toteh,
26 And the watchman saw another man running; and the watchman called to the porter and said, Behold a man running alone. And the king said, He also is a bearer of news.
ramveng ni alouke tami ka yawng e bout a hmu. Ramveng ni tami buet touh a madueng ka yawng e ka hmu telah takhang ka ring e a kaw teh, siangpahrang ni ahni ni hai kamthang a phu dawk doeh atipouh.
27 And the watchman said, I see the running of the foremost like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man; and comes with good news.
Ramveng ni ahmaloe e ka yawng e teh Zadok capa Ahimaaz e a yawng e doeh telah ka panue telah ati. Siangpahrang ni ahni teh tamikahawi doeh. Kamthang kahawi a phu dawk han doeh telah ati.
28 And Ahimaaz called and said to the king, Peace! And he fell down to the earth on his face before the king, and said, Blessed be Jehovah thy God, who has delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord the king.
Ahimaaz ni a hram teh, siangpahrang koe ahawi doeh, telah ati. Siangpahrang hmalah a minhmai talai dawk rekkâbet lah a tabut teh, bawipa, ka bawipa, siangpahrang nang koe kut pho hanelah kakâcainaw hah kangangkung BAWIPA Cathut min pholennae awm seh, telah ati.
29 And the king said, Is it well with the young man Absalom? And Ahimaaz said, I saw a great tumult when Joab sent the king's servant, and me thy servant; but I knew not what it was.
Siangpahrang ni Absalom a hlout maw telah a pacei. Ahimaaz ni siangpahrang e na san Joab ni kaie ka san hah a patoun navah, ruengruengti awh e ka hmu. Hateiteh, kamceng lah ka panuek hoeh telah ati.
30 And the king said, Turn aside [and] stand here. And he turned aside and stood still.
Siangpahrang ni kaie ka teng kangdout haw atipouh teh, ahni teh a teng vah a kangdue.
31 And behold, the Cushite came; and the Cushite said, Let my lord the king receive good tidings, for Jehovah has avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee.
Kushi tami a tho teh, siangpahrang, kamthang ka thokhai, nang na ka taran e naw hah BAWIPA ni ahnimanaw a yonnae patetlah a pathung toe telah atipouh.
32 And the king said to the Cushite, Is it well with the young man Absalom? And the Cushite said, The enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise against thee for evil, be as that young man.
Siangpahrang ni ka capa Absalom a hlout maw telah a pacei, Kushi tami ni siangpahrang e na tarannaw, nang ka dudam e naw pueng teh hote thoundoun patetlah koung awm naseh telah ati.
33 And the king was much moved, and went up to the upper chamber of the gate, and wept; and as he went, he said thus: O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had died in thy stead, O Absalom, my son, my son!
Siangpahrang teh a lung rei a thai. kho longkha e a lathueng lah a cei teh, a cei laihoi, Oe ka capa Absalom, ka capa, ka capa Absalom nange a yueng lah kai ka due hoeh aw. Oe Absalom, ka capa ka capa telah a khuika.
