2 Samuel 15
1 And after this Absalom began to furnish himself with a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
To naah Absalom mah angmah hanah hrang hoi hrang lakok to sak moe, a hmaa ah kami quipangato cawnhsak.
2 And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the road of the gate. Then when anyone had a dispute which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom would call to him and say, "What city are you from?" When he said, "Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel,"
Anih loe khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk moe, khongkha akunhaih loklam ah angdoet. Lokpunghaih oh naah siangpahrang khaeah lok takroek han angzo kaminawk boih to, Absalom mah angmah khaeah kawk moe, Nang loe naa vangpui ih kami maw? tiah a dueng. To kami mah, Na tamna kai loe Israel acaeng thung ih kami ni, tiah a naa.
3 then Absalom would say to him, "Look, your matters are good and right; but there is no one from the king to hear you."
To naah Absalom mah anih khaeah, Khenah, na thuih ih lok loe hoih moe, toeng; toe na lok tahngai hanah siangpahrang ih kami midoeh om ai, tiah a naa.
4 And Absalom would say, "Oh that I were made judge in the land, then anyone who had a dispute and a judgment could come to me, and I would give him justice."
To pacoengah Absalom mah, Prae thungah kai hae lokcaekkung ah ka oh nahaeloe, lokpunghaih tawn kami hoi lokthuih han tawn kaminawk kai khaeah angzoh o naah, kai mah anih hanah katoeng ah lok ka caek pae han, tiah a naa.
5 It was so, that when any man came near to do him obeisance, he would extend his hand and embrace him, and kiss him.
Mi kawbaktih kami doeh anih khaeah caeh moe, a hmaa ah akuep o naah, Absalom mah anih to ban hoiah pazut, anih to patawnh moe, a mok.
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.
Absalom loe siangpahrang khae lokthuih han angzo Israel kaminawk boih khaeah to tiah sak; to pongah Israel kaminawk ih palungthin to lak thaih.
7 It happened at the end of four years, that Absalom said to the king, "Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to Jehovah, in Hebron.
Saning quipalito boeng naah loe, Absalom mah siangpahrang khaeah, Hebron ah ka caeh moe, ka sak ih Angraeng khaeah lokkamhaih baktih toeng ah ka sak han.
8 For your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Aram, saying, 'If Jehovah will bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve Jehovah in Hebron.'"
Na tamna kai Syria prae Geshur vangpui ah ka oh naah, Angraeng mah Jerusalem ah amlaemsak let nahaeloe, Hebron ah Angraeng to ka bok han, tiah lokkamhaih ka sak boeh, tiah a naa.
9 The king said to him, "Go in peace." So he arose, and went to Hebron.
Siangpahrang mah anih khaeah, Longhoihta hoiah caeh ah, tiah a naa. To pongah anih loe, Hebron ah caeh.
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.'"
To naah Absalom mah Israel prae boih ah tamquta hoi laicaehnawk to patoeh moe, Mongkah lok na thaih o naah, Absalom loe, Hebron ah siangpahrang ah oh, tiah thui oh, tiah a naa.
11 Two hundred men went with Absalom out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they did not know anything.
Absalom loe Jerusalem ih kami cumvai hnetto hoi nawnto caeh; to kaminawk loe poekciimhaih hoiah caeh o, to ah kaom hmuen to tidoeh panoek o ai.
12 And he sent and invited 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.
Absalom mah David poekhaih kahoih paekkung, Gilo vangpui kami, Ahithophel mah angmah ih vangpui Giloh ah angbawnhaih sak naah, Absalom mah kawk. Absalom hnukbang kaminawk pop o aep aep pongah, tamquta hoiah sak pacaeng ih hmuen doeh pop aep.
13 A messenger came to David, saying, "The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom."
To naah laicaeh maeto David khaeah angzoh moe, Israel kaminawk ih palungthin loe Absalom khaeah ni oh boih boeh, tiah a naa.
14 David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, "Arise, and let us flee; for else none of us shall escape from Absalom. Make speed to depart, lest he overtake us quickly, and bring down evil on us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword."
To naah David mah Jerusalem ah angmah hoi nawnto kaom a tamnanawk khaeah, Angthawk oh, cawn o si boeh; to tih ai nahaeloe aicae loe Absalom ih ban hoi a loih o mak ai boeh; Karangah caeh o si boeh; to tih ai nahaeloe aicae kae hanah karangah angzo o ueloe, aicae to hum pacoengah, vangpui doeh sumsen hoiah paro o boih tih boeh, tiah a naa.
15 The king's servants said to the king, "Look, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king chooses."
Siangpahrang ih tamnanawk mah, siangpahrang khaeah, Ka angraeng siangpahrang mah qoih ih hmuen to na tamnanawk mah sak han ka oh o coek boeh hmang, tiah a naa o.
16 And the king went out with all his household following him. But the king left ten women, who were secondary wives, to take care of the palace.
Siangpahrang loe tacawt, to naah a imthung takoh boih a hnukah bang o. Toe zula hatonawk loe siangpahrang im khetzawn hanah a caeh taak.
17 So the king went out with all his servants following him, and they stopped at the last house.
Siangpahrang tacawt naah, kaminawk boih anih hnukah bang o; nasetto maw kangthla ah a caeh o pacoengah, anghak o.
18 And all the people passed on before him. And all those with him, all the officers and warriors, were six hundred men, and they passed on before him. And when all the Cherethites and all the Pelethites and all the Gittites who followed him from Gath passed on before the king,
A tamnanawk mah anih to hmabang ah caeh o taak; Kereth kaminawk, Peleth kaminawk, anih hnukah Gath prae hoi angzo Git kami cumvai taruktonawk mah, doeh siangpahrang to poeng o moe, anih hmaa ah caeh o.
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 mah Git kami Ittai khaeah, Tipongah kaicae khaeah nang zoh loe? Caeh loe Absalom siangpahrang khaeah om khae; nang loe prae kalah kami ah na oh moe, na prae thung hoi kaproeng tamna ah ni na oh.
20 You came only yesterday. Should I today make you wander about with us, since I go I know not where? Go back, and take your brothers with you, and may Jehovah show you kindness and truth."
Nang loe cangduem ah ni nang zoh vop; vaihniah kaicae hoi nawnto nam het han maw? tiah a naa. Kai loe caeh thaih karoek to ka caeh han pongah, nam nawkamyanawk to kawk loe, amlaem let ah; tahmenhaih hoi loktang loe na nuiah om nasoe, tiah a naa.
21 Ittai answered the king, and said, "As Jehovah lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether for death or for life, even there also will your servant be."
Toe Ittai mah siangpahrang khaeah, Angraeng loe hing moe, ka angraeng siangpahrang nang, na hing baktih toengah, duekhaih maw, hinghaih maw, ka angraeng ohhaih kawbaktih ahmuen ah doeh, na tamna ka oh toeng han, tiah a naa.
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.
To naah David mah Ittai khaeah, Caeh ah, hmabang caeh ah, tiah a naa. To pongah Git acaeng Ittai loe, angmah hoi nawnto kaom kathoeng kalen kaminawk hoi nawnto caeh o poe.
23 And all the land wept aloud as all the people crossed over. And the king crossed the Wadi Kidron, and all the people passed before him on the Olive road into the wilderness.
Prae kaminawk boih qah o; a hnukbang kaminawk loe caeh o poe, siangpahrang Kidron vacong poeng pacoengah, kaminawk boih loe praezaek bangah caeh o.
24 Look, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people finished passing out of the city.
Zadok hoi Levi kaminawk boih doeh to ah oh o moe, Levinawk mah Sithaw lokkamhaih thingkhong to aput o. Sithaw ih thingkhong to amtik o moe, kaminawk mah vangpui tacawt o taak boih ai karoek to, Abiathar mah angbawnhaih to sak.
25 The king said to Zadok, "Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the eyes of Jehovah, he will bring me back and show me both it and his dwelling place;
To naah siangpahrang mah Zadok khaeah, Sithaw ih thingkhong to vangpui thungah amlaem o haih let ah; Angraeng mikcuk naakrak ah ka oh nahaeloe, angmah kai hanah na sin pae let ueloe, a ohhaih ahmuen doeh na hnusak let tih hmang.
26 but if he should say, 'I have no delight in you;' look, here I am. Let him do to me as seems good to him."
Toe anih mah kai khaeah, na nuiah palung ka hoih ai, tiah na thui nahaeloe, khenah, kai loe hae ah ka oh; angmah hoih, tiah poek ih baktih toengah, ka nuiah sah halat nasoe, tiah a naa.
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 mah qaima Zadok khaeah, Nang loe tahmaa na ai maw? Na capa Ahimaaz, Abiathar capa Jonathan hoi capa hnik to kawkah loe, longhoihta ah vangpui ah amlaem o let ah.
28 Look, I will wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me."
Na lok kai khaeah angzo ai karoek to, azawn ih praezaek ah kang zing han, tiah a naa.
29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem; and they stayed there.
To pongah Zadok hoi Abiathar mah Sithaw ih thingkhong to lak hoi moe, Jerusalem ah amlaem hoi pacoengah, to ah oh hoi.
30 David went up by the Ascent of the Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered, and went barefoot: and all the people who were with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
Toe David loe Olive mae nuiah dawh tahang poe, anih loe qahhaih hoiah caeh tahang, a lu to khuk moe, khokpanai abuen ai ah caeh tahang; anih hoi nawnto caeh kaminawk doeh lu to khuk o moe, qahhaih hoiah caeh o tahang.
31 And it had been told to David, saying, "Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom." David said, "Jehovah, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness."
Absalom hoi nawnto kasae sak han pacaeng abu thungah, Ahithophel doeh athum toeng, tiah David khaeah thuih pae o. To pongah David mah, Aw ka Angraeng, Ahithophel poekhaih to amthuhaih ah angcoengsak ah, tiah lawkthuih.
32 It happened that when David had come to the top, where God was worshiped, look, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat torn, and earth on his head.
Mae nui phak naah David loe Sithaw to bok; khenah, Ark acaeng Hushai loe a khukbuen to asih moe, a lu nuiah maiphu phuih pacoengah, anih hnuk hanah a zing;
33 David said to him, "If you pass on with me, then you will be a burden to me;
David mah anih khaeah, Kai khaeah nang zoh nahaeloe, kai han hmuenzit ah na om moeng tih.
34 but if you return to the city, and tell Absalom, 'Your brothers have left, O king, after your father left, and now I am your servant, O king. Allow me to live. As I have been your father's servant in the past, so now I am your servant,' then you will defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.
Toe vangpui ah nam laem let moe, Absalom khaeah, Aw siangpahrang, na tamna ah ka oh han; canghniah doeh nampa ih tamna ah ni ka oh, toe vaihi loe na tamna ah ka oh han boeh, tiah na naa nahaeloe, Ahithophel mah paek ih poekhaih pazawkkung ah na om ueloe, kai abomhaih ah doeh om tih.
35 Do you not have Zadok and Abiathar the priests there with you? Therefore it shall be, that whatever thing you shall hear out of the king's house, you shall tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
Qaima Zadok, Abiathar hoiah nawnto om oh loe, siangpahrang im ah na thaih ih loknawk to nihnik khaeah thui paeh.
36 Look, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, Abiathar's son; and by them you shall send to me everything that you shall hear."
Khenah, Zadok capa Ahimaaz hoi Abiathar capa Jonathan, hnik doeh to ah nawnto oh o; na thaih ih loknawk to nihnik khae thui boih ah, nihnik mah kai na thaih hoi sak tih hmang, tiah a naa.
37 So Hushai, David's friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
To pongah Absalom loe Jerusalem vangpui thungah akun, David ih ampui Hushai doeh vangpui ah amlaem let.
