2 Samuel 17
1 And Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Please let me choose twelve thousand men, and I arise and pursue after David tonight,
Ahithophel ni Absalom koevah, tami 12, 000 rawi naseh. Sahnin tangmin ka thaw vaiteh Devit ka pâlei han.
2 and come on him, and he [will be] weary and feeble-handed, and I have caused him to tremble, and all the people who [are] with him have fled, and I have struck the king by himself,
A tha a tawn teh a kut tha a youn navah, ka tuk vaiteh, a lung ka puen sak han. Ahni koe kaawm e pueng hah a yawng awh vaiteh, siangpahrang dueng hah ka thei han.
3 and I bring back all the people to you—as the turning back of the whole [except] the man whom you are seeking—[then] all the people are [at] peace.”
Taminaw pueng nang koe ka thokhai han na tawng e teh tami pueng hoi a kâvan han. Tami pueng bout a ban awh vaiteh, karoumcacah ao awh han telah ati.
4 And the word is right in the eyes of Absalom, and in the eyes of all [the] elderly of Israel.
Hote lawk hah Absalom hoi Isarelnaw miphun kacuenaw ni a ngai awh.
5 And Absalom says, “Now call for Hushai the Archite also, and we hear what [is] in his mouth—even he.”
Absalom ni Arki tami Hushai hai kaw haw, a dei e hah maimouh ni thai pouh haw sei telah ati.
6 And Hushai comes to Absalom, and Absalom speaks to him, saying, “According to this word Ahithophel has spoken; do we do his word? If not, you—speak.”
Hushai ni Absalom koe a pha toteh, Absalom ni Ahithophel ni hettelah a dei. A dei e patetlah sak han na maw, sak awh mahoeh maw. Nahoeh pawiteh, nang hai dei van haw telah atipouh.
7 And Hushai says to Absalom, “The counsel that Ahithophel has counseled [is] not good at this time.”
Hushai ni Absalom koe a pha toteh, Absalom ni Ahithophel ni pouknae a thokhai e heh hawi hoeh.
8 And Hushai says, “You have known your father and his men, that they [are] heroes, and they are bitter in soul as a bereaved bear in a field, and your father [is] a man of war, and does not lodge with the people;
Hushai ni, na pa hoi a taminaw teh na panue toe. Athakaawme tami, ka matheng katang e tavom manu a ca la pouh e patetlah, doeh ao awh. Hahoi, na pa teh taran ka tuk e lah ao teh, taminaw koe roe mahoeh.
9 behold, now, he is hidden in one of the pits, or in one of the places, and it has been at the falling among them at the commencement, that the hearer has heard and said, There has been a slaughter among the people who [are] after Absalom;
Khenhaw! atuvah, lungngoum buetbuet touh koe a kâhro han doeh. Nahoeh pawiteh, alouke hmuen koe a kâhro han doeh. Tami tangawn ahmaloe la rawm lah dout awh pawiteh, hote kamthang ka thai e ni Absalom hnukkâbangnaw teh, a due awh toe telah a dei awh han.
10 and he also, the son of valor, whose heart [is] as the heart of the lion, utterly melts, for all Israel knows that your father is a hero, and those with him [are] sons of valor.
Tarankahawi e tami, sendek e lungthin ka tawn e patenghai a lung a pout han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarelnaw pueng ni na pa teh athakaawme hoi ama koe kaawm e naw teh tami a thakasai e seng doeh tie hah a panue awh.
11 So that I have counseled: let all Israel be diligently gathered to you, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba, as the sand that [is] by the sea for multitude, and you yourself are going in the midst;
Hatdawkvah pouknae na poe han ka ngai e teh, Dan kho hoi Beersheba kho totouh, Isarelnaw teh tuipui teng e sadi yit touh nang koe a kamkhueng awh teh, nangmanaw hai tarantuknae koe cet van awh nateh,
12 and we have come to him in one of the places where he is found, and we [are] on him as the dew falls on the ground, and there has not been left of him and of all the men who [are] with him even one.
hottelah kâhmo thainae a hmuen pueng koe, talai dawk tadamtui ka bawt e patetlah muen na ramuk awh vaiteh, ama hoi ahni koe kaawm pueng buet touh hai pâhlung awh mahoeh.
13 And if he is gathered to a city, then they have caused all Israel to carry ropes to that city, and we have drawn it to the brook until there has not even been found a stone there.”
Hothloilah, khopui buet touh koe kâen pawiteh, Isarelnaw pueng ni tangron sin vaiteh hote kho dawk cei awh vaiteh, talungcanaw buet touh boehai ao hoeh totouh, palang vah koung sawn awh han telah ati.
14 And Absalom says—and all the men of Israel, “The counsel of Hushai the Archite [is] better than the counsel of Ahithophel”; and YHWH willed to make void the good counsel of Ahithophel for the sake of YHWH’s bringing the calamity to Absalom.
Absalom hoi Isarelnaw ni Arki tami Hushai ni pouknae a poe e teh Ahithophel ni pouknae a poe e hlak ahawi telah ati awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni Absalom e lathueng runae a pha sak thai nahan BAWIPA ni kahawipoung e Ahithophel pouknae a poe e a tapuet sak han a ngai dawk doeh.
15 And Hushai says to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, “Thus and thus Ahithophel has counseled Absalom and the elderly of Israel, and thus and thus I have counseled;
Hushai ni vaihma Zadok hoi Abiathar koevah, hottelah Ahithophel ni Absalom hoi Isarelnaw hah pouknae a poe, hahoi kai ni hai pouknae hot patetlah ka poe toe telah ati.
16 and now, send quickly, and declare [it] to David, saying, Do not lodge in the plains of the wilderness tonight, and also, certainly pass over, lest there is a swallowing up of the king and of all the people who are with him.”
Hatdawkvah, atu tangmin vah, kahrawngum ayawn dawk roe laipalah, pou cet awh. Nahoeh pawiteh, siangpahrang hoi a taminaw pueng teh koung a thei payon awh han doeh telah Devit koe karanglah dei pouh awh telah ati.
17 And Jonathan and Ahimaaz are standing at En-Rogel, and the maidservant has gone and declared [it] to them—and they go and have declared [it] to King David—for they are not able to be seen to go into the city.
Jonathan hoi Ahimaaz teh Enrogel vah ao awh teh, sannu buet touh ni ahnimouh koe ouk a dei pouh teh, ahnimouh ni Devit koe patuen ouk a dei pouh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, khopui thung kâen e hah apinihai hmu hanelah awm hoeh.
18 And a youth sees them, and declares [it] to Absalom; and both of them go on quickly, and come to the house of a man in Bahurim, and he has a well in his court, and they go down there,
Hatei, camo ni a hmu awh teh, Absalom koe a dei pouh. Hottelah kahni touh hoi vai touh lahoi a yawng roi. Bahurim tami buet touh thongma dawk tuikhu ka tawn e im dawk a kâen roi teh tuikhu dawk a kâhro roi.
19 and the woman takes and spreads the covering over the face of the well, and spreads the ground grain on it, and the thing has not been known.
Hahoi, a yu ni tuikhu teh a khuem hoi a khuem teh cakang muen a vaw sin dawkvah apinihai panuek hoeh.
20 And the servants of Absalom come to the woman at the house, and say, “Where [are] Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” And the woman says to them, “They passed over the brook of water”; and they seek, and have not found, and return to Jerusalem.
Absalom e a sannaw hote im koe a pha awh navah, Ahimaaz hoi Jonathan hah namaw ao roi telah napui koe a pacei awh. Napui ni, palang namran lah yo a pha han doeh toe telah atipouh. Ahnimouh ni a tawng awh teh hmawt awh hoeh toe. Hateh Jerusalem lah a ban awh.
21 And it comes to pass, after their going on, that they come up out of the well, and go and declare [it] to King David, and say to David, “Rise, and pass over the waters quickly, for thus has Ahithophel counseled against you.”
Hahoi, a ban awh hnukkhu, Ahimaaz hoi Jonathan teh tuikhu dawk hoi a tâco roi teh, Devit siangpahrang koe a dei pouh roi. Devit koevah thaw awh nateh karanglah cet awh leih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hettelah Ahithophel ni nang na taranlahoi pouknae a poe telah atipouh.
22 And David rises, and all the people who [are] with him, and they pass over the Jordan, until the morning light, until not one has been lacking who has not passed over the Jordan.
Devit hoi ama koe kaawm e pueng a thaw awh teh, Jordan tui a raka awh. Khodai nah be a raka awh toe. Ka rakat hoeh e tami buet touh hai awm hoeh.
23 And Ahithophel has seen that his counsel was not done, and he saddles the donkey, and rises and goes to his house, to his city, and gives charge to his household, and strangles himself, and dies, and he is buried in the burying-place of his father.
Ahithophel ni pouknae a poe e hah tarawi awh hoeh tie a thai awh toteh, la a rakueng awh teh ama kho lah a cei awh. A imthungnaw kho a saknae kong kahawicalah cing a thui hnukkhu a kaithi. A mintoenaw e phuen koe a pakawp awh.
24 And David came to Mahanaim, and Absalom passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him;
Devit ni Mahanaim kho koe a pha navah, Absalom teh Isarelnaw hoi Jordan tui a raka awh.
25 and Absalom has set Amasa over the host instead of Joab, and Amasa [is] a man’s son whose name is Ithra the Israeli who has gone in to Abigail, daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, mother of Joab;
Absalom ni Joab e yueng lah Amasa hah ransabawi lah a hruek. Amasa teh Joab e a manu Zeruiah e a nawngha Nahash canu Abigail ka ipkhai e Ishmael miphun Ithra capa doeh.
26 and Israel encamps with Absalom [in] the land of Gilead.
Isarel miphunnaw hoi Absalom teh Gilead ram dawk a tungpup awh.
27 And it comes to pass at the coming in of David to Mahanaim, that Shobi son of Nahash, from Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and Machir son of Ammiel, from Behold-Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite, from Rogelim,
Devit teh Mahanaim kho a pha toteh, Ammon ram Rabbah tami Nahash capa Shobi hoi Lodebar, Amiel capa Makhir hoi Rogelim hoi Gilead tami Barzillai tinaw ni,
28 [have brought] bed, and basin, and earthen vessel, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and roasted [grain], and beans, and lentiles, and roasted [pulse],
Hote taminaw teh kahrawngum vah a vonhlam awh, a tawntam awh, tui a kahran awh telah ati awh dawkvah, Devit hoi a taminaw ni canei hanelah catun, barli, pe a phunphun,
29 and honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of cows; they have brought [these] near for David, and for the people who [are] with him to eat, for they said, “Your people [are] hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.”
khoitui, sanutuikamkak, tu, iphah, ailo, kawlung naw hah a sin pouh awh.
