< 2 Samuel 15 >

1 After this, Absalom prepared a chariot and horses for himself, and fifty men to run before him.
Hathnukkhu hoi Absalom ni lengnaw hoi marangnaw hoi amae hmalah ka cet hane tami 50 touh a rakueng.
2 Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate. When any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called to him, and said, “What city are you from?” He said, “Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.”
Absalom teh amom a thaw teh, longkha koe ouk a kangdue. Siangpahrang koe rucat kâhmo e dei han ka tawn e pueng hah, Absalom ni a kaw teh api kho maw ouk atipouh. Ahnimanaw ni Isarel miphun thung e doeh ouk atipouh awh.
3 Absalom said to him, “Behold, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputized by the king to hear you.”
Absalom ni ahni koevah na lawk dei e naw teh atang doeh. Hatei, nange kong ka dei hane siangpahrang hoi apinihai thai mahoeh telah ouk atipouh.
4 Absalom said moreover, “Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any suit or cause might come to me, and I would do him justice!”
Kai teh hete ram dawk lawkcengkung siangpahrang lah na sak awh haw pawiteh, lawk dei hane ka tawn e pueng kai koe a tho awh vaiteh, kalancalah kai ni lawk ka ceng pouh han telah ouk atipouh.
5 It was so, that when any man came near to bow down to him, he stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and kissed him.
Tami buetbuet touh barilawa lahoi a tho nah, Absalom ni a kut a dâw laihoi a kuet teh ouk a paco
6 Absalom did this sort of thing to all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
Isarel siangpahrang koevah lawk dei hane ka tho pueng koe, Absalom ni hottelah ouk a sak. Hottelah Absalom ni Isarelnaw e a lungthin a paru pouh.
7 At the end of forty years, Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to the LORD, in Hebron.
Kum pali touh aloum hnukkhu, Absalom ni siangpahrang koevah, Hebron kho vah BAWIPA koe e ka lawkkam a kuep nahan ka cei sak.
8 For your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Syria, saying, ‘If the LORD shall indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD.’”
Bangkongtetpawiteh, na san ni Siria ram Geshur kho ka o navah, BAWIPA ni Jerusalem kho bout na cetsak pawiteh, BAWIPA e thaw ka tawk han telah lawk ka kam toe telah a ti.
9 The king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he arose and went to Hebron.
Siangpahrang ni karoumcalah cet atipouh. Hat navah, Absalom ni a thaw teh, Hebron lah a cei.
10 But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, ‘Absalom is king in Hebron!’”
Absalom ni mongka lawk na thai awh tahma, Absalom teh Hebron kho dawk siangpahrang doeh telah na hram awh han telah Isarel miphun pueng koe arulahoi katuetnaw a patoun.
11 Two hundred men went with Absalom out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they didn’t know anything.
Absalom ni a kaw e tami 200 touh e Jerusalem kho thung hoi a cei van awh. A lung kathoungpincalah banghai panuenae awm laipalah a cei awh.
12 Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. The conspiracy was strong, for the people increased continually with Absalom.
Devit e lawkcengkung Giloh koe e Ahithophel teh ama onae Giloh kho dawk, thuengnae a sak navah Absalom a kaw. Absalom hnukkâbangnaw teh tami moi a pap teh kâtarannae hoe a len.
13 A messenger came to David, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.”
Patoune buet touh Devit koe a tho teh, Isarelnaw e lungthin teh, Absalom koelah koung a kamlang toe telah atipouh.
14 David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise! Let’s flee, or else none of us will escape from Absalom. Hurry to depart, lest he overtake us quickly and bring down evil on us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”
Devit ni maimanaw thaw awh vaiteh, yawng awh leih sei. Yawng hoehpawiteh Absalom kut dawk hoi hlout awh mahoeh toe. Karanglah cet awh sei. Hottelah nahoeh pawiteh, ahni ni tang na tuk awh vaiteh, maimae lathueng runae phatsak awh vaiteh, khopui hah tahloi hoi a tuk awh han doeh telah Jerusalem kho ama koe kaawm e sannaw koe a dei pouh.
15 The king’s servants said to the king, “Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king chooses.”
Siangpahrang e sannaw ni, siangpahrang nang ni na dei e pueng ka sannaw ni sak hanelah coungkacoe ka o awh han telah ati awh.
16 The king went out, and all his household after him. The king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house.
Hahoi siangpahrang teh a imthungnaw hoi a cei awh. a im a ring sak hanelah a yudonaw 10 touh a hruek.
17 The king went out, and all the people after him; and they stayed in Beth Merhak.
Siangpahrang a tâco teh taminaw ni a hnukkâbang awh teh, im a poutnae koe a kâhat awh.
18 All his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
A taminaw ni a yawngtahrei awh. Kerethnaw, Pelethnaw, Gitnaw, Gath kho e hoi a hnukkâbangnaw 600 touh teh, siangpahrang e hmalah a cei awh.
19 Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why do you also go with us? Return, and stay with the king; for you are a foreigner and also an exile. Return to your own place.
Siangpahrang ni Git tami Itai koevah bangkongmaw kaimouh koe na kâbang. Ban nateh siangpahrang koe awmh. Nang teh miphun louk doeh. Hatdawkvah na onae koe lah ban lawih.
20 Whereas you came but yesterday, should I today make you go up and down with us, since I go where I may? Return, and take back your brothers. Mercy and truth be with you.”
Paduem tangmin doeh nueng na tho. Kaimouh koe avoivang lah na cei han namaw. Nâ lah maw ka cei han tie ka panuek hoeh. Ban lawih, na hmaunawnghanaw kaw nateh ban leih. Pahrennae hoi yuemkamcunae teh nang koevah awm seh telah atipouh.
21 Ittai answered the king and said, “As the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king is, whether for death or for life, your servant will be there also.”
Itai ni siangpahrang koe, BAWIPA hoi siangpahrang a hring e patetlah siangpahrang ka bawipa na onae pueng koe na san heh, due hai due, hring hai hring pou ao han doeh telah atipouh.
22 David said to Ittai, “Go and pass over.” Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones who were with him.
Devit ni Itai koe, cet awh nateh pou cet awh, telah ati. Hottelah Git tami Itai teh a taminaw hoi a canaw hoi pou a cei awh.
23 All the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over. The king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over toward the way of the wilderness.
Khocanaw teh puenghoi a khuika awh. A hnukkâbangnaw ni a cei awh teh, siangpahrang ama roeroe ni Kidron palang a raka teh taminaw pueng ni hai a raka awh teh, kahrawng lam koelah hoi a cei awh.
24 Behold, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down God’s ark; and Abiathar went up until all the people finished passing out of the city.
Zadok hoi Levihnaw pueng Cathut e thingkong a kâyawt laihoi thingkong a patue awh. Taminaw ni kho a tâco takhai hoehroukrak Abiathar teh thuengnae a sak.
25 The king said to Zadok, “Carry God’s ark back into the city. If I find favor in the LORD’s eyes, he will bring me again, and show me both it and his habitation;
Siangpahrang ni Zadok koevah, Cathut e thingkong teh khopui thung bout bankhai awh. BAWIPA hmalah minhmai kahawi ka hmawt pawiteh, na bankhai awh vaiteh, Cathut e thingkong hoi a onae bout ka hmu han.
26 but if he says, ‘I have no delight in you,’ behold, here I am. Let him do to me as seems good to him.”
Hateiteh, nang dawkvah lunghawinae khoeroe ka tawn hoeh tetpawiteh, kai hi ka o, ahawi ati e patetlah kai dawk sak naseh telah a ti.
27 The king said also to Zadok the priest, “Aren’t you a seer? Return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
Siangpahrang ni vaihma Zadok koe hai, nang teh kahmawtkung nahoehmaw, na capa Ahimaaz hoi Abiathar e capa Jonathan hai kaw nateh khopui thung ban awh.
28 Behold, I will stay at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”
Nangmanaw ni na thaisak hoehroukrak, kai ni kahrawngum e ayawn koe na ring awh han telah a ti.
29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried God’s ark to Jerusalem again; and they stayed there.
Zadok hoi Abiathar ni Cathut e thingkong hah Jerusalem kho a ceikhai awh teh hawvah ao awh.
30 David went up by the ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered and went barefoot. All the people who were with him each covered his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
Devit teh a khuika laihoi a lû a ramuk teh, a khokkhawm a rading teh khok caici lahoi Olive Mon dawk a takhang. A hnukkâbang e pueng ni a lû a ramuk awh teh, khuika laihoi a takhang awh.
31 Someone told David, saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” David said, “LORD, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.”
Absalom koelah kambawngnaw thung dawk, Ahithophel hai a bawk van telah Devit koe a dei pouh awh. Devit ni Oe BAWIPA, Ahithophel ni pouknae a poe e hah pathunae lah coung sak haw telah a kâhei.
32 When David had come to the top, where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his tunic torn and earth on his head.
Mon koe a pha toteh Devit ni Cathut a bawk. Arki tami Hushai ni hai angki a ravei teh a lû dawk vaiphu a kâphuen laihoi ama kâhmo hanelah a tho.
33 David said to him, “If you pass on with me, then you will be a burden to me;
Devit ni kai koe na cet van pawiteh, kai na tarawk han doeh.
34 but if you return to the city, and tell Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king. As I have been your father’s servant in time past, so I will now be your servant; then will you defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.’
Khopui koelah na ban vaiteh, Absalom koevah Oe bawipa kai teh nang koe san lah ka o han. Na pa koe san lah ouk ka o e patetlah atu na san lah ka o han na tetpawiteh, Ahithophel khopouknae ka ngang pouh kung lah doeh let na awm tih.
35 Don’t you have Zadok and Abiathar the priests there with you? Therefore whatever you hear out of the king’s house, tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
Haw vah vaihma Zadok hoi Abiathar hai ao nahoehmaw. Hatdawkvah siangpahrang im e lawk na thai e pueng hah vaihmanaw koe bout na dei han.
36 Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son. Send to me everything that you shall hear by them.”
Zadok capa Ahimaaz hoi Abiathar capa Jonathan capa kahni touh ao. Na thai e pueng bout na thaisak nahanelah, ahnimanaw kai koe pou na patoun han telah atipouh.
37 So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
Devit e a hui Hushai teh kho thung vah a cei. Absalom hai Jerusalem kho koelah a pha.
