2 Samuel 14
1 And Joab, son of Zeruiah, perceived that the heart of the king was towards Absolom.
Chuin lengpan Absalom hi angai cha lheh jeng taiti Zeruiah chapa Joab hin ahin hetdoh tan ahi.
2 So Joab sent to Tekoa, and fetched from thence, a wise woman, —and said unto her—I pray thee, feign thyself a mourner, and put on, I pray thee, mourning apparel, and do not anoint thyself with oil, but be as a woman that hath, these many days, been mourning for the dead;
Joab hin mi asolin Tekoa khosunga mi numei chingtah khat aga hol doh sah in, amanu koma chun asei tai, “Nangma tun lunghem a pul dou dou jeng tobang'in kisem in, pul douna ponsil kisil’in lang, thao jeng jong kinu dan, ajeh chu phat sottah sunga thi op’a um numei pul dou dou jeng bangin um'in ati.
3 so shalt thou come in unto the king, and speak unto him, after this manner. And Joab put the words in her mouth.
Chutengle lengpa koma ga chelut’inlang, ajah a hitin ga sei in, “ati, Joab chun asei ding thu jouse abonchan amanu chu athu mop tai.
4 And, when the woman of Tekoa came in unto the king, she fell on her face to the ground, and did homage, —and said—Save, O king!
Tekoa khosunga numeinu chu lengpa koma ahung phat’in abohkhup in tol'a amai asulut in jana ape tai, chule aman aseiyin, “Vo lengpa, nei pan pin,” ati.
5 And the king said to her—What aileth thee? And she said—Of a truth, a widow woman, am I, for my husband is dead.
Hichun lengpan jong adong in, “Na gentheina ipi pen ham?” atileh, amanun adonbut’in, O kaden, keima meithainu kahi, kaji pa athia ahitai ati.
6 Now, thy maidservant, had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, with none to tear them apart, —so the one smote the other, and slew him.
Chule nasoh nu kei hin chapa ni kaneiyin, amani chu lou jaova ahung kibao lhonin akina lhone; hichun amani phel khen ding mihem khat cha anaum lou jeh in khatpan khatjoh pachu ajep’in athat pai tai.
7 Lo! therefore, all the family hath risen up against thy maidservant, and have said: Give up him that hath smitten his brother, that we may put him to death, for the life of his brother, whom he hath slain, that we may destroy, the heir also. So will they quench my ember that is left, and make my husband without name or remainder, on the face of the ground.
Hijeh chun tun vetan, insung pumpi ahung kon uvin nasoh nu hi eidel khum’uvin hitin asei uve, Asopipa that pachu hinlha doh loiyin, aman asopi pa athat in ahinkho khel a keihon ama katha diu ahi,’ tin aseiyuve; hitobang hin amahon ama chilhah jong asuh bei teidiu dol ahitai. Hitia hi amahon keima mei-am jeng jong achen mit uva hiche leiset chunga kaji pa min asuh mang diu, achi khai ding jong aumsah lou diu ahitai,” ati.
8 And the king said unto the woman—Go to thy house, and, I, will give command concerning thee.
Chuphat’in lengpan jong numei nu koma chun hitin aseiye, “keima boldin dalhan lang, Na’in lama chen, keiman anavesui tange koiman atohkhah lou nadin,’ tin asol tai.
9 Then said the woman of Tekoa unto the king, Upon me, my lord, O king, be the iniquity, and upon the house of my father, —but, the king and his throne, be guiltless.
Chuin Tekoa khoa hung kon numeinu chun lengpa koma chun hitin asei kit’e, kakipah e, kapu lengpa chule “Kapu lengpa chu keima eikithopi jeh a nahin seiset khah uleh themmona chu keima le ka inkote chunga chujo hen, lengpa le alaltou na vang themmona beiyin umjo hen,’ tin aseiye.
10 And the king said, —He that speaketh unto thee, bring him in unto me, and he shall, no more, annoy thee.
Chuin lengpan asei kit in, “Mihem khat touvin nakoma thu asei kit’a ahileh ama chu kei koma hin pui jeng in, ama chun nang ma natham khah kit louhel ding ahi,’ ati peh e.
11 Then said she: Let the king, I pray thee, remember Yahweh thy God; so that the blood-redeemer may not make utter ruin, and that they destroy not my son. And he said—By the life of Yahweh, not one hair of thy son shall fall to the earth.
Hichun amanun jong asei kit in, “Lungset tah in Pakai na Pathen henga nei taopeh teitei in, chutia chu thisan phu lanom pan mi atha kit louva, kachapa atha louna din,’ atileh; lengpan jong aseipeh-in, “Pakai hing jing mina kasei ahi, nachapa chu asamjang khat jeng cha jong kisubui lou ding ahi,’ ati tai.
12 Then said the woman, Pray let thy maidservant speak unto my lord the king, a word. And he said—Speak.
Hichun numei nun asei kit’in, “Lungset tah-in nasohnu kei hi kapu lengpa koma thu cheng khat beh neisei sah thei kit ding ham,’ atia ahileh; lengpan jong, “Seiyin seiyin,” ati.
13 And the woman said, Wherefore, then, hast thou devised the like of this, for the people of God; and yet the king, in speaking this word, is verily guilty, unless the king, bring back his fugitive?
Hichun numei nun asei in, “Chuti ahileh ipi dinga nangman Pathen mite douna a hitobang thilgon hi nanei ham? Ijeh-inem itileh lengpan hitobanga thutanna naneiya kon hin lengpan nadel mangpa inlama napuilut loujeh-in nathu tan hi nangma chungma ma a nakitan ahi tai ati.
14 For, when we, die, we become as water poured on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again, —therefore doth God not take away the life, but deviseth plans so as not to thrust out from him, a fugitive.
Ajeh chu eiho Ibon chauva athi cheh ding Ihiu’ve, chule Ibon chauva tol'a twi kisung lha kinung thaldoh kit thei lou tobang ihiuvin ahi, Pathen in jong mithi long damsa chu phong doh kit deh tapon te; chule lengpa chun ama toh ekikhan teng ule ama toh ihung eumkhom theikit nadiu aneiyin ahi.
15 Now, therefore, [is it] that I have come to speak unto the king my lord this word, because the people kept putting me in fear, —so thy maidservant said—Do let me, I pray you, speak unto the king! peradventure the king will fulfil the request of his handmaid.
Chule keima hiche thuseiya hi kapu lengpa heng hung kahi, ipijeh-inem itileh mipi hin keima eitijat sah tauvin chuphat’a nasohnu ken jong hitia hi kagela, ‘Keiman lengpa koma gasei tange, ijem itileh lengpan asohnu kei thuseihi ngai jeng khat nan’te
16 For the king can hearken, to rescue his handmaid out of the power of the man who would seek to destroy both me and my son together, out of the inheritance of God.
Chule lengpan jong eisumang ding miho khut’a eihuh doh tei ding ahi, Pathen mite lah a ei suhmang sah lou ding ahi.’
17 So thy maidservant said, Pray let the word of my lord the king be comforting, —for, as the messenger of God, so is my lord the king, in hearing the good and the bad, Yahweh thy God, then, be with thee.
Henge, kapu lengpan lungthim chamna eihin pih kit diu ahi. chule keiman kahen nangma hi thilpha thilse hekhen dola Pathen vantil tabang nahi. Pakai na-Pathenin napanpi jing hen,” ati.
18 Then responded the king, and said unto the woman, Nay, now! do not hide from me, the thing which I am about to ask thee. And the woman said, Pray let my lord the king speak.
Hichun lengpan jong numeinu chu adonbut’in, “Keiman kadoh doh chu ipi hijong le imlou hellin neihin seipi in ati. Hichun numeinun jong aseiyin, “Kapu lengpan na seinom nom sei jengin,’ atitai.
19 Then said the king, Is, the hand of Joab, with thee, in all this? And the woman answered and said—By the life of thy soul, my lord, O king, there is no way to the right or to the left, of anything that my lord the king hath spoken, for, thy servant Joab himself, charged me, and, himself, put, in the mouth of thy maidservant, all these words:
Hichun lengpan adong in, “Thil hijatpi nasei na a hi nangma Joab chutoh kihoutoh a kikhut jop nahim?” atileh; numeinu jong chun adonbut’in, “Kapu lengpa, eti kem kaseilep ding ham? Koima chan nangma kommah emacha sel thei ponte. Henge, Joab in eihinsol a chule thu hijat pi hi aman nasohnu keima hi eithumop’a ka kamsung'a eikhumpeh ahinai ati.
20 for the purpose of turning round the face of the matter, hath thy servant Joab done this thing, —my lord being wise, as with the wisdom of a messenger of God, in knowing all that is [done] in the land.
Nalhacha Joab chun nalung nakhel a thil kigon dol jouse nakhel doh ding gelkhoh na a hiche hi abol anahi. Ahoi chu hita leh kapu nangma hi leiset chunga um thil ijakai hetna dol a na chih dan mong mong Pathen Vantil chihna tobang bang a hi bou’ve,” atin ahi.
21 Then said the king unto Joab, See, I pray thee, I a have done this thing, —go then—bring back the young man, Absolom.
Chutah chun lengpan jong Joab koma asei in asol tan ahi, aphai tun chinlang golhangpa Absalom chu ga nung pui lut tan,” ati.
22 So Joab fell with his face to the earth, and did homage, and blessed the king, —and Joab said—To-day, doth thy servant know, that I have found favour in thine eyes, my lord O king, in that the king hath fulfilled the request of thy servant.
Chuin Joab jong chu tol'a abohkhup in, jana apen, lengpa phatthei aboh in, hiti hin Joab chun asei tai, “Tuni hin kapu lengpa mitmun lungset na kachang mong mong e, ti na soh pa thil ngeh khoh pen hi nanop peh jenge,’ ati.
23 And Joab arose, and went to Geshur, —and brought Absolom to Jerusalem.
Chuin Joab jong akipat doh paiyin Geshur gam'a achen Absalom chu Jerusalem a ahin lepui tai.
24 And the king said—Let him go round to his own house, and, my face, let him not see. So Absolom went round, unto his own house, and, the face of the king, saw he not.
Ahin lengpan hitin thupeh aneiye, “Absalom hi ama insunga chimei thei ahi, ahin keima angsunga vang hung vah lut thei louhel ding ahi,” ati. Hijeh chun Absalom in lengpa cu amutapon ahi.
25 Now, like unto Absolom, was there no man handsome in all Israel, to be greatly praised, —from the sole of his foot, even unto the crown of his head, there was not, in him, a blemish.
Tun Israel chate lah a Absalom tobanga amel hoi jeh a seiphat thei dang koima cha anaum poi; Absalom hi akeng khotal juma pat alujang gei a achunga nolna ding imacha beihel ahi.
26 And when he polled his head—and it was at every year’s end that he used to poll it, because it was heavy upon him, therefore he used to poll it—he would weigh the hair of his head, two hundred shekels, by the royal standard.
Alujang sam chu kumkhat a khatvei bou ache ji ahi chule ajeh chu agih behseh jijeh ahi. hitia hi asam akivoa thil te naa atea ahileh, asam jeng jong chu shekel ja ni cheng agih jin ahi.
27 And there were born to Absolom three sons, and one daughter, whose name, was Tamar, —she, was a woman beautiful to look upon.
Absalom hin chapa thum ahing in, chule chanu khat jong ahing in, achanu min chu Tamar akiti; Tamar jong hi numei hoi tah khatma ahi.
28 So Absolom dwelt in Jerusalem two years of days, —and, the face of the king, had he not seen.
Hiti hin Absalom hi kum ni lhingset Jerusalema acheng ahin, hijongle lengpa ang sungah khatvei cha avah lut kha hih beh in ahi.
29 Then sent Absolom unto Joab, to send him unto the king, but he would not come to him, —so he sent yet a second time, but he would not come.
Chuin Absalom chun Joab kou dingin mi asol’in, ahunga ahileh lengpa koma sol din agon; ahinla Joab chu Absalom koma ahung tapon ahi. Hichun Joab in mi asol kit’in, ahi vang'in Joab chu ahung deh kit poi.
30 Then said he unto his servants—See, the allotted portion of Joab, adjoineth me, and, he, hath barley there, go, and set it on fire. So the servants of Absolom set the portion on fire.
Chuphat’in aman jong asoh te koma asei in, “Veuvin, Joab lou khu keima lou ban tah ahin, cheuvin lang alou laiya khu mei in gahal vam tauvin,” ati. Hijeh chun Absalom soh ten jong Joab lou chu meiyin agahal vam tao vin ahi.
31 Then rose Joab, and went unto Absolom, in his house, —and said unto him, Wherefore, have thy servants set the portion that pertaineth to me, on fire?
Chuphat’in Joab jong akipat doh in Absalom koma achen akoma hitin aseiye, “Ipi dinga nasoh ten kalou meiya ahal vam jeng u hitam?” aga tie.
32 And Absolom said unto Joab—Lo! I sent unto thee, saying—Come hither, that I may send thee unto the king, saying—Wherefore, am I come from Geshur? I, might as well have yet been there. Now, therefore, let me see the face of the king, and, if there is in me iniquity, then let him put me to death.
Hichun Ab’salom jong chun Joab chu adonbut’in, “Vetan, keiman nahenga thu kahin thot jin, ‘Hikoma hungin keiman lengpa koma nasol ing ting, “Ipi ding pen tah a keima hi Geshur gam'a kona hung khoh khoh a kahiya, kei dinga Geshur gam'a umden chu nomjo dinga?” tin aseiye, tia gadoh sah ding kati nahi. Tujengin jong lengpa angsunga neilut sah mong mong in lang keiman themmona kaneiya ahijong leh aman eithat jeng hen,’ ati tia ga sei sah ding kati ahi,” ati.
33 So Joab came unto the king, and told him, and the king called for Absolom, and he came in unto the king, and bowed himself down with his face to the ground, before the king, —and the king kissed Absolom.
Hijeh chun Joab jong lengpa koma achen aga seipeh tan ahileh, hichun lengpan jong Absalom chu akoutai. Chuin Absalom jong lengpa koma ahungin, lengpa angsunga chun abohkhup in amai tol'a asulut in jana apen ahi; chuin lengpan jong Absalom chu achop tai.
