< 2 Samuel 17 >

1 Moreouer Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me chuse out now twelue thousand men, and I will vp and follow after Dauid this night,
Te phoeiah Ahithophel loh Absalom taengah, “Hlang thawng hlai nit ka coelh pawn ni. Ka hlah uh vetih khoyin ah David hnuk te ka hloem laeh mako.
2 And I will come vpon him: for he is wearie, and weake handed: so I will feare him, and all the people that are with him, shall flee, and I will smite the King onely,
Bonghnaek tih a kut a kha to vaengah ka anih te ka paan eh?, anih te ka lakueng sak eh. A taengkah pilnam loh boeih a rhaelrham tak vaengah manghai amah te ka ngawn eh.
3 And I will bring againe all the people vnto thee, and when all shall returne, (the man whome thou seekest being slaine) all the people shalbe in peace.
Te vaengah pilnam te namah taengla boeih kam mael puei mako. Na toem hlang te rhuemtuet la a mael daengah ni pilnam boeih khaw rhoepnah a om eh?,” a ti nah.
4 And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the Elders of Israel.
Tekah olka tah Absalom kah mikhmuh neh Israel patong boeih kah mikhmuh ah thuem mai.
5 Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let vs heare likewise what he sayth.
Tedae Absalom loh, “Arkii Hushai te khaw khue laeh. Anih ka dongkah ol te khaw ya uh sih,” a ti nah.
6 So when Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom spake vnto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken thus: shall we doe after his saying, or no? tell thou.
Hushai te Absalom taengla a pawk vaengah Absalom loh, “Ahithophel loh a thui ol bangla thui van lah, na thui pawt atah anih ol te vai sih a?” a ti nah.
7 Hushai then answered vnto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath giuen, is not good at this time.
Tedae Hushai loh Absalom taengah, “Tahae tue vaengah Ahithophel loh cilsuep n'uen cilsuep te a then moenih,” a ti nah.
8 For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father, and his men, that they be strong men, and are chafed in minde as a beare robbed of her whelps in the fielde: also thy father is a valiant warrier, and will not lodge with the people.
Te phoeiah Hushai loh, “Na pa te na ming coeng, a hlang rhoek khaw amih tah hlangrhalh rhoek ni, amih a hinglu tah kohong kah dueidah laemhong vom bangla tlung. Te phoeiah na pa he caemtloek hlang la a om dongah pilnam nen khaw rhaeh mahpawh.
9 Behold, he is hid now in some caue, or in some place: and though some of them be ouerthrowen at the first, yet the people shall heare, and say, The people that follow Absalom, be ouerthrowen.
Amah ngawn tah rhom pakhat ah nim, a hmuen pakhat ah nim thuh uh pawn maco te. Lamhma kah a cungku te a yaak a yaak vaengah, 'Absalom hnukkah pilnam khuiah lucik om coeng,’ a ti bitni.
10 Then he also that is valiant whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall shrinke and faint: for all Israel knoweth, that thy father is valiant, and they which be with him, stout men.
Na pa neh a taengkah tatthai tongpa rhoek kah a tlung a thang te Israel pum loh a ming vaengah a lungbuei sathueng lungbuei bangla aka om tatthai capa pataeng paci la paci pueng ni.
11 Therefore my counsell is, that all Israel be gathered vnto thee, from Dan euen to Beer-sheba as the sand of the sea in nomber, and that thou goe to battell in thine owne person.
Te dongah Dan lamloh Beersheba due tuipuei laivin bangla aka yet Israel boeih he nang taengah tingtun rhoe tingtun saeh lamtah na mikhmuh kah caemrhal te kun thil saeh ka ti.
12 So shall we come vpon him in some place, where we shall finde him, and we will vpon him as the dewe falleth on the ground: and of all the men that are with him, wee will not leaue him one.
Anih te hmuen khat, khat ah phoe tih m'muk pahoi vaengah, mamih loh anih te diklai dongkah buemtui a suntlak bangla ng'et thil daengah ni, amah khaw, a taengkah hlang boeih loh pakhat khaw a sueng pawt eh.
13 Moreouer if he be gotten into a citie, then shall all the men of Israel bring ropes to that citie, and we will draw it into the riuer, vntill there be not one small stone founde there.
Khopuei la nong cakhaw khopuei te Israel pum loh rhui a khuen uh vetih anih te a nuei pataeng a hmuh pawt hilah soklong la a sol uh ni.
14 Then Absalom and all the men of Israel sayde, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better, then the counsell of Ahithophel: for the Lord had determined to destroy the good counsell of Ahithophel, that the Lord might bring euill vpon Absalom.
Absalom neh Israel hlang boeih loh Arkii Hushai kah cilsuep tah Ahithophel kah cilsuep lakah then ngai,” a ti uh,” a ti nah. BOEIPA loh Absalom soah yoethaenah khuen ham kong ah Ahithophel kah cilsuep then te phae hamla BOEIPA loh a uen.
15 Then said Hushai vnto Zadok and to Abiathar the Priests, Of this and that maner did Ahithophel and the Elders of Israel counsell Absalom: and thus and thus haue I counseled.
Hushai loh khosoih Zadok neh Abiathar te, “Ahithophel loh Absalom neh Israel patong rhoek tuek tuek a uen bangla, kai loh kang uen.
16 Now therefore sende quickely, and shewe Dauid, saying, Tarie not this night in the fieldes of the wildernesse, but rather get thee ouer, lest the King be deuoured and all the people that are with him.
Te dongah David taengah hlang tlek tueih lamtah puen pah laeh. Khoyin te khosoek kolken ah rhaeh thil boeh. Kat rhoela khat phai, manghai neh a pilnam pum te vik yoop ve,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
17 Now Ionathan and Ahimaaz abode by En-rogel: (for they might not be seene to come into the citie) and a maid went, and tolde them, and they went and shewed King Dauid.
Jonathan neh Ahimaaz tah Enrogel ah a om vaengah amih rhoi taengla salnu cet tih a puen pah. Tedae amih rhoi te Khopuei khuila kun ham neh phoe ham a coeng rhoi pawt dongah manghai David taengla cet rhoi tih a thui rhoi.
18 Neuerthelesse a yong man sawe them, and tolde it to Absalom. therefore they both departed quickely, and came to a mans house in Bahurim, who had a well in his court, into the which they went downe.
Tedae amih rhoi te camoe pakhat loh vik a hmuh tih Absalom taengla a puen pah. Te dongah amih rhoi khaw vil nong rhoi tih Bahurim kah hlang pakhat im la kun rhoi. Te phoeiah a vongup khuikah tangrhom khuila suntla rhoi.
19 And the wife tooke and spred a couering ouer the welles mouth, and spred ground corne thereon, that the thing should not be knowen.
A yuu loh himbaiyan te a loh tih tangrhom kah a rhai ah khoep a phaih. A soah canghum khoep a yaal thil dongah a hmuethma khaw ming uh pawh.
20 And when Absaloms seruants came to the wife into the house, they said, Where is Ahimaaz and Ionathan? And the woman answered them, They be gone ouer the brooke of water. And when they had sought them, and could not finde them, they returned to Ierusalem.
Absalom kah sal rhoek te huta kah im la ha pawk uh tih, “Ahimaaz neh Jonathan ta?,” a ti nah. Te vaengah amih te huta loh, “Sokca tui ke a poeng rhoi coeng ta,” a ti nah. A tlap uh dae a hmuh pawt dongah Jerusalem la mael uh.
21 And assoone as they were departed, the other came out of the well, and went and tolde King Dauid, and sayde vnto him, Vp, and get you quickely ouer the water: for such counsell hath Ahithophel giuen against you.
Amih a caeh phoeiah tangrhom lamloh koep ha luei rhoi tih cet rhoi. Te phoeiah manghai David taengla puen rhoi. David taengah te, “Hlah uh lamtah tui ke pahoi kat uh laeh, he tlam he ni Ahithophel ni nang ng'uen,” a ti nah.
22 Then Dauid arose, and all the people that were with him, and they went ouer Iorden vntil the dawning of the day, so that there lacked not one of them, that was not come ouer Iorden.
Te dongah David neh a taengkah pilnam boeih te hlah uh tih Jordan te kat uh. Mincang khothaih duela Jordan aka kat pawt he pakhat khaw mueh pawh.
23 Nowe when Ahithophel sawe that his counsell was not followed, he sadled his asse, and arose, and he went home vnto his citie, and put his houshold in order, and hanged him selfe, and dyed, and was buryed in his fathers graue.
A cilsuep loh a pha pawt te Ahithophel loh a hmuh coeng dongah, laak te a ngoldoelh tih hlah uh. Te phoeiah amah kho la a im te a paan. A imkhui cako te a uen phoeiah kuiok tih duek tih a napa kah phuel ah a up uh.
24 Then Dauid came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed ouer Iorden, he, and all the men of Israel with him.
Te dongah David loh Mahanaim la a pawk vaengah Absalom neh amah taengah Israel hlang boeih te Jordan ah kat uh.
25 And Absalom made Amasa captaine of the hoste in the stead of Ioab: which Amasa was a mans sonne named Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Ioabs mother.
Amasa te Absalom loh Joab yueng la caempuei soah a ngol sak. Te vaengah Amasa capa tongpa pakhat a ming ah Ithra tah Israel hoel dae ta. Anih long te Nahash nu Joab manu Zeruiah mana Abigail te a kun thil.
26 So Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead.
Te vaengah Israel neh Absalom te Gilead kho ah rhaeh.
27 And when Dauid was come to Mahanaim, Shobi the sonne of Nahash out of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the sonne of Ammiel out of Lo-debar, and Barzelai the Gileadite out of Rogel
David te Mahanaim la a pawk vaengah Rabbah lamkah Ammon koca Nahash capa Shobi, Lodebar lamkah Ammiel capa Makir, Rogelim lamkah Giladi Barzillai loh,
28 Brought beds, and basens, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and floure, and parched corne, and beanes, and lentiles, and parched corne.
thingkong, baeldung, um-am, cangyen, cangtun, vaidam, maidawn, vairhum, rhacik, vairhum,
29 And they brought hony, and butter, and sheepe, and cheese of kine for Dauid and for the people that were with him, to eate: for they said, The people is hungry, and wearie, and thirstie in the wildernesse.
khoitui, suknaeng, boiva, vaito sukkhal te David neh a taengkah a pilnam ham hang khuen tih, “Pilnam he bungpong neh khosoek ah tui a halh vaengah ca uh saeh,” a ti uh.
