2 Samuel 18
1 And David numbered the people that were with him, and he set over them captains of thousands and captains of hundreds.
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 command of Joab, and a third part under the command of Abishai the son of Zeruyah, Joab's brother, and a third part under the command of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I myself also will without fail go forth with you.
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 have to flee away, they will not care for us; and if half of us die, they will not care for us; for now thou art worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better that thou shouldst be a succor to 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 unto them, What seemeth good in your eyes will I do. And the king placed himself by the side of the gate, and all the people went 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, with Abshalom. And all the people heard when the king charged all the captains with respect to Abshalom.
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 So the people went out into the field against Israel: and the battle took place 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 smitten there before David's servants, and the slaughter was great there on 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 became extended there over the face of all the country: and the forest devoured yet more of the people than the sword had devoured on that day.
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 Abshalom happened to come before the servants of David. And Abshalom was riding upon a mule, and the mule came under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was left hanging between the heaven and the earth: and the mule that was under him passed on.
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 certain man saw, and told it to Joab, and said, Behold, I have seen Abshalom hanging on an oak.
Kahmawt e tami buet touh ni Joab koevah, kathen dawk Absalom a kâbang e ka hmu telah atipouh.
11 And Joab said unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest him: why then didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and it would have been obligatory on me to give thee ten shekels of silver 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 unto Joab, And though I should weigh on my hands a thousand shekels of silver, I would not stretch forth my hand against the king's son; for before our ears did the king charge thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Take heed, whoever it be, of the young man, of Abshalom.
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 should I even have acted with falsehood against my own life, since there is no matter which can be hidden from the king; thou wouldst surely have placed thyself aloof.
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 will not wait thus before thee. And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them into the heart of Abshalom, who was yet alive in the midst of the oak.
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, Joab's armor-bearers, encompassed and smote Abshalom, and slew 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 cornet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel; for Joab restrained 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 Abshalom, and cast him down in the forest, into the large pit, and erected upon him a very great heap of stones: and all Israel fled, every one, to his tents.
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 Abshalom had taken and reared up for himself in his lifetime, the pillar, which is in the king's dale; for he said, I have no son, so as to keep my name in remembrance; and he called the pillar after his own name: and it was called Abshalom's monument, even until this day.
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 Achima'az the son of Zadok said, Do let me run, I pray thee, and bear the king tidings, that the Lord hath done him justice from the power 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 unto him, Thou art not the man to bear [good] tidings this day, and thou shalt bear tidings another day; but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, 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 Cushi, Go tell the king what thou hast seen, And Cushi bowed himself unto 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 Then said Achima'az the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, Be it as it may, let me, I pray thee, run also after the Cushi. And Joab said, Wherefore is it that thou wilt run, my son, seeing that thou hast no profitable tidings?
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 be it as it may, let me run. And he said unto him, Run. And Achima'az ran by the way of the plain, and passed the Cushi.
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 was sitting between the two gates: and the watchman went up to the roof of the gate, upon the wall, and as he lifted up his eyes, he saw, and behold, a man was 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 it to the king. And the king said, If he be alone, there are tidings in his mouth. And he came nearer and nearer continually.
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 unto the gate-keeper, and said, Behold, here is a man running alone. And the king said, Also this one bringeth tidings.
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 regard the running of the foremost as the running of Achima'az the son of Zadok. And the king said, That is a good man, and with good tidings must he come.
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 Achima'az called, and said unto the king, Peace. And he prostrated himself to the king with his face to the earth, and said, Blessed be the Lord thy God, who hath surrendered the men that had 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 the young man Abshalom safe? And Achima'az answered, I saw the greatest crowd when Joab sent off the king's servant, and thy servant; but I know not what hath happened.
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, place thyself here. And he turned aside, and remained standing.
Siangpahrang ni kaie ka teng kangdout haw atipouh teh, ahni teh a teng vah a kangdue.
31 And, behold, the Cushi came [next]; and the Cushi said, Let my lord the king receive the tidings, that the Lord hath done thee justice this day from the power of all those that had risen 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 unto the Cushi, Is the young man Abshalom safe? And the Cushi answered, May like the young man be the enemies of my Lord the king, and all that have risen up against thee for evil.
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 he went up to the upper chamber of the gate, and wept: and thus he said as he went, O my son Abshalom, my son, my son Abshalom! who would grant that I had died in thy stead, O Abshalom, 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.
