1It happened after this, that Absalom prepared him a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
1Huan, hichi ahi a, huaite khit in Absalom in kangtalai leh sakolte leh mi sawmnga a ma a tai ding in a bawl a.
2Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate. It was so, that 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.”
2Huan, Absalom zingkhang in a thou a, kulh kongkhak lampi ah a na ding a; huan, kumpipa kiang a thu khawk gen ding peuhmah Absalom in a na sam a, Kuakhua na hia? a na chi zel a. Huan, na sikha Israel namte lak a nam khat ka hi, a chi zel uh.
3Absalom said to him, “Behold, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputized by the king to hear you.”
3Huan, Absalom in, I aw, na thu a hoih in a dik a; himahleh ngaihtuah mi ding kumpipa'n kuamah a sepkei, a na chi zel hi.
4Absalom 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!”
4Huan, Absalom mah in, Michih thukhawk gen ding nei hiam, nget ding nei hiam peuhmah ka kiang a a hongpaina ding un, kei hiai vaihawmpa in hon bawl leh chi na tel ing e aw! Huchi in dik tattak in vai hawm sek ding, bang leng a na chi zel a.
5It was so, that when any man came near to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took hold of him, and kissed him.
5Hichi bang in leng a chi, kuapeuh amah chibai ding a zuan tou peuhmah a na sawk a, a len a, a na tawp sek hi.
6Absalom 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.
6Huchi in Israel mi kumpipa kiang a thugen ding a hong kuan peuhmahte Absalom in huchi bang in a na hilh zel hi. Huchi in Absalom in Israel mite lungtang a hip sak.
7It happened at the end of forty years, that Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to Yahweh, in Hebron.
7Huan, hichi ahi a, kum li a hong bei in Absalom in kumpipa kiang ah, Hebron khua a TOUPA kiang a ka thuchiam tangtun ding in hon hohsak in.
8For your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Syria, saying, ‘If Yahweh shall indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will serve Yahweh.’”
8Na sikha in Suria gam a Gesur a ka omlai in, Jerusalem a honpi nawn peuhmah leh TOUPA na ka sem ding, chi in thu ka nachiam khin a, a chi a.
9The king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he arose, and went to Hebron.
9Huan, kumpipa'n a kiang ah, Khamuang tak innkuan in, a chi a. Huchi in a thou a, Hebron ah a hohta hi.
10But 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!’”
10Himahleh Absalom in, Pengkul ging na zak peuhmah chiang un, Absalom Hebron ah kumpipa ahi chi un, chi in Israel nam tengteng kiang ah mi a sim sawl khin a.
11Two hundred men went with Absalom out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they didn’t know anything.
11Huan, Absalom kiang ah a mi sap, mi zanih Jerusalem a kipan a hoh tei ua, lungsim hoihtak pu in a hoh ua, bangmah a theikei uh.
12Absalom 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.
12Huan, Absalom in kithoihnate a latlai in, Gilon mi Ahithophel, David vaihawmpih, a khua Gilo a kipan a thukhak a. A thu sawm uh a thupi mahmah a; Absalom lam ah lah mipite a pung hulhul mai ngal ua.
13A messenger came to David, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.”
13Huan, David kiang ah, Israel mite lungsim Absalom lam ah a awn mahmah, chi in mi a hong a.
14David 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.”
14Huan, David in Jerusalem a mi tengteng kiang ah, Thou unla i tai khe ding uh, kuamah lah Absalom a kipan i suakta thei sin ngalkei ua: pawtkhe meng un, huchilou in zaw a hon phapeh mai ding, i tunguah thil hoihlou tak a hontun ding a, namsau in khua a hong sual kha ding, a chi a.
15The king’s servants said to the king, “Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king chooses.”
15Huan, kumpipa mite'n kumpipa kiang ah, Ngai in, na sikhate ka pu uh, ka kumpipa un a seh peuhmah hih ding in mansa in ka om gige uh, a chi ua.
16The king went forth, and all his household after him. The king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house.
16Huan, kumpipa a pawt a, a inkote tengteng in a zui ua. Huan, kumpipa'n in ngak ding in numei sawm, meite lawi a koih.
17The king went forth, and all the people after him; and they stayed in Beth Merhak.
17Huan, kumpipa a pawt a, mipi tengteng in a zui ua; huan, Beth-merhak ah a khawl tadih ua,
18All 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.
18Huan, a mi tengteng in a kheng ua; huan, Kerit mi tengteng, Pelet mi tengteng, Git mi tengteng, mi zaguk Gath a kipan a amah hon zuite'n kumpipa a bel zel uhi.
19Then 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.
19Huchi in, kumpipa'n Git mi Itai kiang ah, Bangchidan ahiai ah nang na hong tei a? kik nawn inla, kumpipa kiang ah om in; nang zaw mikhual gam dang leng na hi ngal a, nang mah mun lam ah kik nawn mai in.
20Whereas you came but yesterday, should I this day 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.”
20Zan zek a hong na hi a, tuni a ka kiang ua a suk a tou a hon zui sam ding in ka hon chi ding maw? ka pai theih theihna a pai ding ka hi, nang zaw kik nawn inla, na unaute tengteng pikik nawn in; hehpihna leh thutak na kiang ah om hen, a chi a.
21Ittai answered the king, and said, “As Yahweh lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king shall is, whether for death or for life, even there also will your servant be.”
21Huan, Itai in kumpipa kiang ah, TOUPA hinna leh kumpipa, ka pu hinna lou in ka chi hi, kumpipa, ka pu na omnana ah, sih leh sih ahi ding a, dam leh dam ahi ding a, na sikha a om tei zel ding, a chi a.
22David 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.
22Huan, David in Itai kiang ah, Pai unla, pai zel ua leh, a chi a. Huchi in Git mi Itai a mite tengteng leh a tu a tate tengteng utoh a pai uh.
23All 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.
23Huan, ngaihtak in a gam a kah in a kapta a, mipite a paivek ua; gamdai lampi lam zuan in kumpipa'n leng Kidron lui a kan a, huan, mipi tengteng in leng a kan uh.
24Behold, 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.
24Huan, Zadok te Pathian thukhunna bawm zawng in Levite tengteng toh a kiang ah a pai ua; Pathian bawm a nga ua, mipi in khua a pawt khiaksan vek tan in Abiathar a hoh tou a.
25The king said to Zadok, “Carry back the ark of God into the city. If I find favor in the eyes of Yahweh, he will bring me again, and show me both it, and his habitation;
25Huan, kumpipa'n Zadok kiang ah, Pathian bawm pen khopi sung ah zawnglut nawn un: TOUPA mittung a ka om leh honpi kik nawn ding a, Pathian bawm leh a omna a honmu sak nawn ding;
26but if he say thus, ‘I have no delight in you;’ behold, here am I. Let him do to me as seems good to him.”
26Himahleh, Nang ah kipahna mahmah kaneikei, a chih leh, ngai in, hichi mai ka hi a, hoih a sak bangbang in ka tungah hih mai heh, a chi a.
27The 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.
27Kumpipa'n siampu Zadok kiang ah, Mutheipa na hi ka hia? na tapate nih na tapa Ahimaaz leh Abiathar tapa Jonathan toh lungmuangtak in khopi ah pai nawn un.
28Behold, I will stay at the fords of the wilderness, until word comes from you to inform me.”
28Ngai in, kei zaw tanchin hongtheih sak ma siah uh gamdai a luikannate ah ka na om ding, a chi a.
29Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem; and they stayed there.
29Huchi in Zadok leh Abiathar in Pathian bawm Jerusalem ah a paipih nawn ua; huan, huai ah a omta uh.
30David 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: and all the people who were with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
30Huchi in David Oliv tang paitouhna ah a kahtou a, pai touh kawm in a kap kawmkawm a; a lu a khuh a, khe vuak in a pai a; huan, a kiang a mi om tengteng in a lu uh a khuh chiat ua, kap kawmkawm in a paitou uh.
31Someone told David, saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” David said, “Yahweh, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.”
31Huan, kua hiam khat in David bel, Ahithophel Absalom lam a pang in thusawmmite lak ah a pang tei, chi in a hilh a. Huan, David in, TOUPA aw, Ahithophel lemtheih haina suaksak ding in ka hon ngen hi, a chi a.
32It happened that when David had come to the top, where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat torn, and earth on his head.
32Huan, hichi ahi a, David Pathian biakna tangvum a kahkhiak touh leh ngai in, Ark mi Husai a puannak bohkek silh a, lu a lei kai niaunuau in amah dawn ding in a hongpai a.
33David said to him, “If you pass on with me, then you will be a burden to me;
33Huan, David in a kiang ah, Ka kiang a na hong tei le zaw kei a ding in puakgik na hi mai ding;
34but 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 will I now be your servant; then will you defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.’
34Ahihhang in khopi lam a na kik a, Absalom kiang a, Toupa aw, na sikha in ka om ding, tuma lam a na pa sikha a ka om bang in tu in na sikha in ka om leuleu ding, na va chih lebel Ahithophel lemtheih hon dalsakpa na hi zaw ding.
35Don’t you 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.
35Huailai ah na kiang ah siampu Zadok leh Abiathar leng a om tei uh ahi kei maw? huchi in hichi ahi ding a, kumpipa in a thu pawt na zak peuhmah siampu Zadok leh Abiathar na hilh zel ding.
36Behold, 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.”
36Ngai in, a tapate uh nih Zadok tapa Ahimaaz leh Abiathar tapa Jonathan leng a kaing uah a om uhi; huan, na thil zak peuhmahte hon theisak ding in amau na hon sawl zel ding, a chi a.Huchi in David lawm Husai bel khopi ah a lut a; huan, Absalom bel Jerusalem ah a lutta hi.
37So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
37Huchi in David lawm Husai bel khopi ah a lut a; huan, Absalom bel Jerusalem ah a lutta hi.
