2 Samuel 18
1 And David inspects the people who [are] with him, and sets over them heads of thousands and heads of hundreds,
Devit ni ama koe kaawm e naw a touk teh 1000 kaukkung, 100 touh kaukkung kahrawikungnaw a rawi pouh.
2 and David sends the third of the people by the hand of Joab, and the third by the hand of Abishai, son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, and the third by the hand of Ittai the Gittite, and the king says to the people, “I certainly go out—I also—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 And the people say, “You do not go out, for if we utterly flee, they do not set [their] heart on us; and if half of us die, they do not set [their] heart to us—for [you are] now like ten thousand of us; and now, [it is] better that you are for a helper to us from 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 says to them, “That which is good in your eyes I do”; and the king stands at the side of the gate, and all the people have gone 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 charges Joab, and Abishai, and Ittai, saying, “[Deal] gently—for me, for the youth, for Absalom”; and all the people heard in the king’s charging all the heads 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 go out into the field to meet Israel, and the battle is in a 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 are struck there before the servants of David, and the striking there is great on that day—twenty thousand;
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 there is scattered over the face of all the land, and the forest multiplies to devour among the people more than those whom the sword has devoured in 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 Absalom meets before the servants of David, and Absalom is riding on the mule, and the mule comes in under an entangled bough of the great oak, and his head takes hold on the oak, and he is placed between the heavens and the earth, and the mule that [is] under him has 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 one man sees, and declares [it] to Joab, and says, “Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in an oak.”
Kahmawt e tami buet touh ni Joab koevah, kathen dawk Absalom a kâbang e ka hmu telah atipouh.
11 And Joab says to the man who is declaring [it] to him, “And behold, you have seen—and why did you not strike him there to the earth—and [it would be] on me to give to you ten pieces of silver and one 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 says to Joab, “Indeed, though I am weighing on my hand one thousand pieces of silver, I do not put forth my hand to the son of the king; for in our ears the king has charged you, and Abishai, and Ittai, saying, Observe who [is] against the youth—against 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 had done a vain thing against my soul, and no matter is hid from the king, and you would station yourself opposite from [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 And Joab says, “[It is] not right [that] I linger before you”; and he takes three darts in his hand, and strikes them into the heart of Absalom, while he [is] 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 they go around—ten youths carrying weapons of Joab—and strike Absalom, and put him to death.
Joab e senehmaica ka sin e thoundoun 10 touh ni a kalup awh teh, Absalom teh kadout lah a thei awh.
16 And Joab blows with a horn, and the people turn back from pursuing after Israel, for Joab has 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 take Absalom and cast him into the great pit in the forest, and set up a very great heap of stones over him, and all Israel has fled—each 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 And Absalom has taken, and sets up for himself in his life, the standing-pillar that [is] in the king’s valley, for he said, “I have no son to cause my name to be remembered”; and he calls the standing-pillar by his own name, and it is called “The Monument of Absalom” to 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 Ahimaaz son of Zadok said, “Please let me run, and I bear the king tidings, for YHWH has delivered him out of the hand 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 says to him, “You are not a man of tidings this day, but you have borne tidings on another day, and this day you do not bear 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 And Joab says to Cushi, “Go, declare to the king that which you have seen”; and Cushi bows himself to Joab, and runs.
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 son of Zadok adds again and says to Joab, “And whatever it is, please let me run, I also, after the Cushite.” And Joab says, “Why [is] this—you are running, my son, and [there are] no tidings found from you?”
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 “And whatever happens,” he said, “let me run.” And he says to him, “Run”; and Ahimaaz runs the way of the circuit, and passes by 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 is sitting between the two gates, and the watchman goes to the roof of the gate, to the wall, and lifts up his eyes, and looks, and behold, a man running by himself.
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 calls, and declares [it] to the king, and the king says, “If [he is] by himself, tidings [are] in his mouth”; and he comes, coming on and drawing 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 sees another man running, and the watchman calls to the gatekeeper, and says, “Behold, a man running by himself”; and the king says, “This one is also bearing 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 says, “I see the running of the first as the running of Ahimaaz son of Zadok.” And the king says, “This [is] a good man, and he comes with good tidings.”
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 calls and says to the king, “Peace”; and he bows himself to the king, on his face, to the earth, and says, “Blessed [is] your God YHWH who has shut up the men who 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 says, “Peace to the youth—for Absalom?” And Ahimaaz says, “I saw the great multitude, at the sending away of the servant of the king, even your servant [by] Joab, and I have not known what [it is].”
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 says, “Turn around, station yourself here”; and he turns around and stands still.
Siangpahrang ni kaie ka teng kangdout haw atipouh teh, ahni teh a teng vah a kangdue.
31 And behold, the Cushite has come, and the Cushite says, “Let tidings be proclaimed, my lord, O king; for today YHWH has delivered you out of the hand of all those rising up against you.”
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 says to the Cushite, “Peace to the youth—for Absalom?” And the Cushite says, “Let them be—as the youth—the enemies of my lord the king, and all who have risen up against you 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 trembles, and goes up on the upper chamber of the gate, and weeps, and thus he has said in his going, “My son Absalom! My son! My son Absalom! Oh that I had died for you, 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.
