2 Samuel 17
1 And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, 'Let me choose, I pray thee, twelve thousand men, and I arise and pursue after David to-night,
Te phoeiah Ahithophel loh Absalom taengah, “Hlang thawng hlai nit ka coelh pawn ni. Ka hlah uh vetih khoyin ah David hnuk te ka hloem laeh mako.
2 and come upon him, and he weary and feeble-handed, and I have caused him to tremble, and all the people have fled who [are] with him, and I have smitten the king by himself,
Bonghnaek tih a kut a kha to vaengah ka anih te ka paan eh?, anih te ka lakueng sak eh. A taengkah pilnam loh boeih a rhaelrham tak vaengah manghai amah te ka ngawn eh.
3 and I bring back all the people unto thee — as the turning back of the whole [is] the man whom thou art seeking — all the people are peace.
Te vaengah pilnam te namah taengla boeih kam mael puei mako. Na toem hlang te rhuemtuet la a mael daengah ni pilnam boeih khaw rhoepnah a om eh?,” a ti nah.
4 And the thing is right in the eyes of Absalom, and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel.
Tekah olka tah Absalom kah mikhmuh neh Israel patong boeih kah mikhmuh ah thuem mai.
5 And Absalom saith, 'Call, I pray thee, also for Hushai the Archite, and we hear what [is] in his mouth — even he.'
Tedae Absalom loh, “Arkii Hushai te khaw khue laeh. Anih ka dongkah ol te khaw ya uh sih,” a ti nah.
6 And Hushai cometh in unto Absalom, and Absalom speaketh unto him, saying, 'According to this word hath Ahithophel spoken; do we do his word? if not, thou — speak thou.'
Hushai te Absalom taengla a pawk vaengah Absalom loh, “Ahithophel loh a thui ol bangla thui van lah, na thui pawt atah anih ol te vai sih a?” a ti nah.
7 And Hushai saith unto Absalom, 'Not good [is] the counsel that Ahithophel hath counselled at this time.'
Tedae Hushai loh Absalom taengah, “Tahae tue vaengah Ahithophel loh cilsuep n'uen cilsuep te a then moenih,” a ti nah.
8 And Hushai saith, 'Thou hast known thy father and his men, that they [are] heroes, and they are bitter in soul as a bereaved bear in a field, and thy father [is] a man of war, and doth not lodge with the people;
Te phoeiah Hushai loh, “Na pa te na ming coeng, a hlang rhoek khaw amih tah hlangrhalh rhoek ni, amih a hinglu tah kohong kah dueidah laemhong vom bangla tlung. Te phoeiah na pa he caemtloek hlang la a om dongah pilnam nen khaw rhaeh mahpawh.
9 lo, now, he is hidden in one of the pits, or in one of the places, and it hath been, at the falling among them at the commencement, that the hearer hath heard, and said, There hath been a slaughter among the people who [are] after Absalom;
Amah ngawn tah rhom pakhat ah nim, a hmuen pakhat ah nim thuh uh pawn maco te. Lamhma kah a cungku te a yaak a yaak vaengah, 'Absalom hnukkah pilnam khuiah lucik om coeng,’ a ti bitni.
10 and he also, the son of valour, whose heart [is] as the heart of the lion, doth utterly melt, for all Israel doth know that thy father is a hero, and sons of valour [are] those with him.
Na pa neh a taengkah tatthai tongpa rhoek kah a tlung a thang te Israel pum loh a ming vaengah a lungbuei sathueng lungbuei bangla aka om tatthai capa pataeng paci la paci pueng ni.
11 'So that I have counselled: Let all Israel be diligently gathered unto thee, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, as the sand that [is] by the sea for multitude, and thou thyself art going in the midst;
Te dongah Dan lamloh Beersheba due tuipuei laivin bangla aka yet Israel boeih he nang taengah tingtun rhoe tingtun saeh lamtah na mikhmuh kah caemrhal te kun thil saeh ka ti.
12 and we have come in unto him in one of the places where he is found, and we [are] upon him as the dew falleth on the ground, and there hath not been left of him and of all the men who [are] with him even one.
Anih te hmuen khat, khat ah phoe tih m'muk pahoi vaengah, mamih loh anih te diklai dongkah buemtui a suntlak bangla ng'et thil daengah ni, amah khaw, a taengkah hlang boeih loh pakhat khaw a sueng pawt eh.
13 And if unto a city he is gathered, then they have caused all Israel to bear unto that city ropes, and we have drawn it unto the brook till that there hath not been found there even a stone.'
Khopuei la nong cakhaw khopuei te Israel pum loh rhui a khuen uh vetih anih te a nuei pataeng a hmuh pawt hilah soklong la a sol uh ni.
14 And Absalom saith — and all the men of Israel — 'Better [is] the counsel of Hushai the Archite than the counsel of Ahithophel;' and Jehovah willed to make void the good counsel of Ahithophel for the sake of Jehovah's bringing unto Absalom the evil.
Absalom neh Israel hlang boeih loh Arkii Hushai kah cilsuep tah Ahithophel kah cilsuep lakah then ngai,” a ti uh,” a ti nah. BOEIPA loh Absalom soah yoethaenah khuen ham kong ah Ahithophel kah cilsuep then te phae hamla BOEIPA loh a uen.
15 And Hushai saith unto Zadok and unto Abiathar the priests, 'Thus and thus hath Ahithophel counselled Absalom and the elders of Israel, and thus and thus I have counselled;
Hushai loh khosoih Zadok neh Abiathar te, “Ahithophel loh Absalom neh Israel patong rhoek tuek tuek a uen bangla, kai loh kang uen.
16 and now, send hastily, and declare to David, saying, Lodge not to-night in the plains of the wilderness, and also, certainly pass over, lest there be a swallowing up of the king and of all the people who are with him.'
Te dongah David taengah hlang tlek tueih lamtah puen pah laeh. Khoyin te khosoek kolken ah rhaeh thil boeh. Kat rhoela khat phai, manghai neh a pilnam pum te vik yoop ve,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
17 And Jonathan and Ahimaaz are standing at En-Rogel, and the maid-servant hath gone and declared to them — and they go and have declared [it] to king David — for they are not able to be seen to go in to the city.
Jonathan neh Ahimaaz tah Enrogel ah a om vaengah amih rhoi taengla salnu cet tih a puen pah. Tedae amih rhoi te Khopuei khuila kun ham neh phoe ham a coeng rhoi pawt dongah manghai David taengla cet rhoi tih a thui rhoi.
18 And a youth seeth them, and declareth to Absalom; and they go on both of them hastily, and come in unto the house of a man in Bahurim, and he hath a well in his court, and they go down there,
Tedae amih rhoi te camoe pakhat loh vik a hmuh tih Absalom taengla a puen pah. Te dongah amih rhoi khaw vil nong rhoi tih Bahurim kah hlang pakhat im la kun rhoi. Te phoeiah a vongup khuikah tangrhom khuila suntla rhoi.
19 and the woman taketh and spreadeth the covering over the face of the well, and spreadeth on it the ground corn, and the thing hath not been known.
A yuu loh himbaiyan te a loh tih tangrhom kah a rhai ah khoep a phaih. A soah canghum khoep a yaal thil dongah a hmuethma khaw ming uh pawh.
20 And the servants of Absalom come in unto the woman to the house, and say, 'Where [are] Ahimaaz and Jonathan?' and the woman saith to them, 'They passed over the brook of water;' and they seek, and have not found, and turn back to Jerusalem.
Absalom kah sal rhoek te huta kah im la ha pawk uh tih, “Ahimaaz neh Jonathan ta?,” a ti nah. Te vaengah amih te huta loh, “Sokca tui ke a poeng rhoi coeng ta,” a ti nah. A tlap uh dae a hmuh pawt dongah Jerusalem la mael uh.
21 And it cometh to pass, after their going on, that they come up out of the well, and go and declare to king David, and say unto David, 'Rise ye, and pass over hastily the waters, for thus hath Ahithophel counselled against you.'
Amih a caeh phoeiah tangrhom lamloh koep ha luei rhoi tih cet rhoi. Te phoeiah manghai David taengla puen rhoi. David taengah te, “Hlah uh lamtah tui ke pahoi kat uh laeh, he tlam he ni Ahithophel ni nang ng'uen,” a ti nah.
22 And David riseth, and all the people who [are] with him, and they pass over the Jordan, till the light of the morning, till one hath not been lacking who hath not passed over the Jordan.
Te dongah David neh a taengkah pilnam boeih te hlah uh tih Jordan te kat uh. Mincang khothaih duela Jordan aka kat pawt he pakhat khaw mueh pawh.
23 And Ahithophel hath seen that his counsel was not done, and he saddleth the ass, and riseth and goeth unto his house, unto his city, and giveth charge unto his household, and strangleth himself, and dieth, and he is buried in the burying-place of his father.
A cilsuep loh a pha pawt te Ahithophel loh a hmuh coeng dongah, laak te a ngoldoelh tih hlah uh. Te phoeiah amah kho la a im te a paan. A imkhui cako te a uen phoeiah kuiok tih duek tih a napa kah phuel ah a up uh.
24 And David came to Mahanaim, and Absalom passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him;
Te dongah David loh Mahanaim la a pawk vaengah Absalom neh amah taengah Israel hlang boeih te Jordan ah kat uh.
25 and Amasa hath Absalom set instead of Joab over the host, and Amasa [is] a man's son whose name is Ithra the Israelite who hath gone in unto Abigail, daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, mother of Joab;
Amasa te Absalom loh Joab yueng la caempuei soah a ngol sak. Te vaengah Amasa capa tongpa pakhat a ming ah Ithra tah Israel hoel dae ta. Anih long te Nahash nu Joab manu Zeruiah mana Abigail te a kun thil.
26 and Israel encampeth with Absalom [in] the land of Gilead.
Te vaengah Israel neh Absalom te Gilead kho ah rhaeh.
27 And it cometh to pass at the coming in of David to Mahanaim, that Shobi, son of Nahash, from Rabbah of the Bene-Ammon, and Machir son of Ammiel, from Lo-Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite, from Rogelim,
David te Mahanaim la a pawk vaengah Rabbah lamkah Ammon koca Nahash capa Shobi, Lodebar lamkah Ammiel capa Makir, Rogelim lamkah Giladi Barzillai loh,
28 couch, and basin, and earthen vessel, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and roasted [corn], and beans, and lentiles, and roasted [pulse],
thingkong, baeldung, um-am, cangyen, cangtun, vaidam, maidawn, vairhum, rhacik, vairhum,
29 and honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine, have brought nigh for David, and for the people who [are] with him to eat, for they said, 'Thy people [is] hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.'
khoitui, suknaeng, boiva, vaito sukkhal te David neh a taengkah a pilnam ham hang khuen tih, “Pilnam he bungpong neh khosoek ah tui a halh vaengah ca uh saeh,” a ti uh.
