1 Israel kaminawk loe David khaeah Hebron ah angzoh o boih moe, kaicae loe nang ih ahuh hoi athii angan ah ni ka oh o.

All the Israelites gathered to meet with David in Hebron. They told him, “We are your flesh and blood.

2 Canghniah Saul siangpahrang ah oh naah mataeng doeh, nangmah ni Israel kaminawk to na zaeh; to naah na Angraeng Sithaw mah nang khaeah, Kai ih kami Israelnawk hae na pacah ueloe, kai ih kami Israelnawk ukkung ah na om tih, tiah ang thuih boeh, tiah a thuih pae o.

In recent times, even though Saul was king, you were the real leader of Israel. The Lord your God told you, ‘You will be the shepherd of my people, and you will be the leader of my people Israel.’”

3 Israel kacoehtanawk David khaeah Hebron ah angzoh o boih pacoengah, David mah Hebron ah nihcae hoi Angraeng hmaa ah lokmaihaih to sak; to pacoengah Angraeng mah Samuel khaeah suek ih lok baktih toengah, David to Israel siangpahrang ah suek o.

All the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a solemn agreement with them before the Lord. There they anointed David as king of Israel, as the Lord had promised through Samuel.

4 David hoi Israelnawk boih Jerusalem (Jebus) ah caeh o; to ahmuen ah kaom kaminawk loe Jebus kami ah oh o.

Then David and all the Israelites went to Jerusalem (formerly known as Jebus) where the Jebusites lived.

5 Jebus ah kaom kaminawk mah David khaeah, Hae thungah na kun thai mak ai, tiah a naa o; toe David mah David ih vangpui, tiah kawk ih, Zion ih misa abuephaih kacak parai sipae to lak.

The Jebusites told David, “You will not enter here!” But David did capture the fortress of Zion, now known as the City of David.

6 David mah, Kamianwk khaeah Jebus kaminawk tuh hmaloe kami loe, misatuh angraeng ah om tih, tiah a naa. Zeruiah capa Joab loe hmaloe ah angthawk moe, a caeh, to pongah anih loe misatuh angraeng ah oh.

David had said, “Whoever is first to attack the Jebusites will be my commander-in-chief.” Since Joab, son of Zeruiah, was the first, he became commander-in-chief.

7 David mah misa abuephaih sipae kaom ahmuen to a ohhaih ahmuen ah sak pongah, David ih vangpui, tiah kawk o.

David decided to love in the fortress, which is why they named it after him the City of David.

8 Anih mah Millo, tiah kawk ih ahmuen hoi a taeng boih ah vangpui to sak; kalah vangpuinawk loe Joab mah sak pakhraih.

He built up the city all around it, from the Millo in a circuit all around, while Joab repaired the rest of the city.

9 Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah oh haih pongah, David loe len aep aep.

David became more and more powerful, for the Lord Almighty was with him.

10 Israel kaminawk khaeah Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, David to siangpahrang ah suek hanah, prae thungah kaom thacak ukkungnawk hoi Israel kaminawk boih mah anih to thapaek o.

These were the leaders of David's powerful warriors who, along with all the Israelites, gave him strong support in becoming king, just as the Lord had promised would happen to Israel.

11 Hae kaminawk loe David ih thacak kami ah oh o; Hakmon acaeng, Jashobeam loe misatuh angraengnawk ukkung ah oh; anih loe tayae hoiah misa cumvai thumtonawk to vaito ah hum boih.

This is the list of the leading warriors who supported David: Jashobeam, son of Hachmoni, leader of the Three. Using his spear, he once killed 300 men in a single battle.

12 Anih pacoengah Ahoah acaeng, Dodo capa Eleazar doeh thacak kami thumto thungah athum toeng.

After him came Eleazar, son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the Three leading warriors.

13 Philistinnawk loe misatuk hanah barli cang patithaih lawk hmuen ah amkhueng o, to naah Eleazar loe David hoi nawnto Pas-Dammim ah oh; Israel caanawk loe Philistinnawk hmaa hoiah cawn o king.

He was with David at Pas-dammin when the Philistines gathered for battle that took place in a field full of barley. The Israelite army ran away when the Philistines attacked,

14 Toe nihcae loe lawk um ah anghawk o moe, Philitinnawk to a hum o, Angraeng mah nihcae to pahlong moe, loihaih to paek.

but David and Eleazar took a stand in the middle of the field, defending their ground and killing the Philistines. The Lord saved them by giving them a great victory.

15 Misatuh angraeng quithumto thung ih thumtonawk loe, David ohhaih thlungkhaw, Adullam ah caeh o tathuk; Philistinnawk loe Rephaim azawn ah atai o.

Another time, the Three, who were part of the Thirty leading warriors, went down to meet David when he was at the cave of Adullam. The Philistine army was camped in the valley of Rephaim.

16 David loe kacak misa abuephaih im ah oh, Philistin misatuh kaminawk loe Bethlehem ah oh o.

At the time David was in the stronghold, and the Philistine garrison was in Bethlehem.

17 David mah tui anghaeh naah, Aw, mi mah maw Bethlehem khongkha taeng ih tuibap tui to na thak tih? tiah thuih.

David was feeling really thirsty, and he said, “If only someone could bring me a drink of water from the well beside the entrance gate to Bethlehem!”

18 To pongah to ah kaom kami thumtonawk mah Philistinnawk to muk o moe, Bethlehem khongkha taeng ih tuibap tui to dok o moe, David khaeah sin pae o; toe David mah nae pae ai; Angraeng hmaa ah a kraih pae ving,

The Three broke through the Philistine defenses, took some water from the well at Bethelehem's gate, and brought it back to David. But David refused to drink it, and poured it out as an offering to the Lord.

19 hae tui ka naek hanah, Sithaw mah ang pakaa: angmacae hinghaih mataeng doeh paawt ai ah paek kaminawk ih athii to ka naek han maw? tiah a thuih. To kaminawk loe angmacae hinghaih angpaekhaih hoiah ni tui to sin pae o. To pongah anih tui to nae pae ai. Hae ih thacak kami thunmtonawk loe to tiah tok to sak o.

“God forbid that I should do this!” he said. “It would be like drinking the blood of these men who risked their lives! They risked their lives to bring me a drink.” So he did not drink it. This is just some of the things the Three leading warriors did.

20 Joab ih amnawk Abishai loe, nihcae thumto zaehoikung ah oh; anih loe tayae to sinh moe, kami cumvai thumto hum; to pongah anih doeh misahoih kami thumto thungah ahmin athum toeng.

Abishai, Joab's brother, was leader of the second Three. Using his spear, he once killed 300 men, and became famous among the Three.

21 Anih loe thacak kami thumto thung ih hnetto pongah ahmin pakoeh o kue pongah, anih loe thumto kaminawk ukkung ah oh; toe hmaloe ih thumto kaminawk to pha ai.

He was the most highly regarded of the Three and was their commander, though he was not one of the first Three.

22 Kabzeel vangpui ih kami, misahoih Jehoiada capa Benaiah loe, kaipui hoi kanghmong Moab kami hnetto a hum; dantui krak nathuem ah doeh longkhaw thungah kaom kaipui to a hum bae vop.

Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, a strong warrior from Kabzeel, did many amazing things. He killed two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went after a lion into a pit in the snow and killed it.

23 Somsang kahoih, dong pangato kasang, Izip kami maeto doeh a hum let bae; Izip kami loe a ban ah camprai tetto kaom tayae to sinh, toe Benaiah mah anih to thingboeng hoiah pangh moe, Izip kami ban ih tayae to a lomh pacoengah, angmah ih tayae hoiah a hum.

Another time he killed an Egyptian—a huge man who stood seven foot six inches tall. The Egyptian had a spear whose shaft was as thick as a weaver's rod. Benaiah attacked him with just a club, but he was able to grab the spear from the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.

24 Jehoiada capa Benaiah mah to tiah hmuennawk to sak; anih doeh thacak thumto kaminawk baktiah ahmin amthang toeng.

These were the kind of things Benaiah did that made him as famous as the Three leading warriors.

25 Khenah, anih loe kami quithumto thungah minawk mah pakoeh ih kami ah oh; toe hmaloe ih thumto kaminawk to pha ai; to pongah David mah anih to angmah misa toep kami ah suek.

He was the most highly regarded of the Thirty, though he was not one of the Three. David put him in charge of his personal bodyguard.
