2 Samuel 5
1 To naah Israel acaengnawk boih Hebron vangpui ah David khaeah angzoh o moe, Khenah, Kaicae loe nang ih athii angan ah ni ka oh o.
Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and spoke, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led Israel out and in. The LORD said to you, ‘You will be shepherd of my people Israel, and you will be prince over Israel.’”
3 Israel kacoehtanawk boih Hebron ah David khaeah angzoh o pacoengah, siangpahrang mah Hebron ah Angraeng hmaa ah nihcae hoi angdaehhaih to sak; nihcae mah David to Israel ukkung siangpahrang ah suek o.
So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel.
4 David siangpahrang ah oh naah, saning quithumto oh boeh; anih loe saning quipalito thung sianpahrang ah oh.
David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
5 Hebron ah Judah kaminawk ukkung siangpahrang ah saning sarih, khrah tarukto oh; Jerusalem ah Israel hoi Judah kaminawk boih nuiah saning quithum, thumto thung siangpahrang ah oh.
In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.

The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, “The blind and the lame will keep you out of here,” thinking, “David can’t come in here.”
7 Toe David mah, David vangpui, tiah kawk ih vangpui kacak Zion to tuk moe, a lak.
Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. This is David’s city.
8 To na niah David mah, Mi kawbaktih doeh tui pakaahaih bang hoiah caeh tahang moe, David hnuma khokkhaem hoi mikmaengnawk hum kami loe, anih to misatuh ukkung ah om tih, tiah a naa. To pongah ni nihcae mah, mikmaeng hoi khokhaemnawk loe imthung ah akun o mak ai, tiah thuih o.
David said on that day, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him go up to the watercourse and strike those lame and blind, who are hated by David’s soul.” Therefore they say, “The blind and the lame can’t come into the house.”
9 To pacoengah David loe misa abuephaih im ah oh, to ahmuen to David ih vangpui, tiah kawk o. Athung bang ih ataeng boih ah Millo ahmuen to a sak.
David lived in the stronghold, and called it David’s city. David built around from Millo and inward.
10 Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw anih taengah oh pongah, anih loe len tahang aep aep.
David grew greater and greater, for the LORD, the God of Hosts, was with him.
11 To naah Tura siangpahrang Hiram mah, David khaeah, angmah ih laicaehnawk hoi nawnto sidar thing, thing tok sah kop kaminawk, thlung im sah kop kaminawk to patoeh moe, David hanah siangpahrang im to sak pae o.
Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, with cedar trees, carpenters, and masons; and they built David a house.
12 To naah Angraeng mah ni kai hae Israel nuiah siangpahrang ah suek moe, angmah ih kami Israelnawk ukkung ah ohsak, tiah David mah panoek.
David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake.
13 Hebron vangpui caehtaak pacoengah, David loe Jerusalem ah angmah hanah kapop parai zula hoi zunawk to a lak; capanawk hoi canunawk doeh a sak mangh.
David took more concubines and wives for himself out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and more sons and daughters were born to David.

These are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

When the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David, but David heard about it and went down to the stronghold.
18 To naah Philistinnawk angzoh o moe, Rephaim tangtling ah atai o.
Now the Philistines had come and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
19 To naah David mah Angraeng khaeah, Philistin kaminawk tuk hanah ka caeh tahang han maw? Nihcae to ka ban ah nang paek han maw? tiah a dueng. Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Caeh tahang ah, Philistinnawk to na ban ah kang paek tangtang han, tiah a naa.
David enquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” The LORD said to David, “Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
20 To pongah David loe Baal-Perazim ah caeh moe, to ah nihcae to tuk pazawk boih; David mah, Kangthawk tui mah tanawt ih baktih toengah, Angraeng mah ka hmaa ah misanawk to ang hum pae, tiah thuih. To pongah to ahmuen to Baal-Perazim, tiah a sak.
David came to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there. Then he said, “The LORD has broken my enemies before me, like the breach of waters.” Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
21 Philsitinnawk mah to ahmuen ah caeh o taak ih krangnawk to, David hoi angmah ih kaminawk mah hmai hoiah qoeng pae o.
They left their images there, and David and his men took them away.
22 Philistinnawk angzoh o let moe, Rephaim tangtling ah atai o let.
The Philistines came up yet again and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
23 To pongah David mah Angraeng khaeah dueng let naah, Angraeng mah nihcae khaeah katoeng ah caeh o hmah; nihcae to hnukbang hoiah takui oh loe, langkawk pacahhaih berry thing hmabang hoiah tuh oh.
When David enquired of the LORD, he said, “You shall not go up. Circle around behind them, and attack them in front of the mulberry trees.
24 Langkawk rawkcak ah patoh ih berry thingkung ranui ah kacaeh misatuh kaminawk ih lok to na thaih o naah, karangah caeh oh; to naah Angraeng to na hmaa ah caeh ueloe, Philistin misatuh kaminawk to tuh tih, tiah a naa.
When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then stir yourself up; for then the LORD has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”
25 Angraeng mah thuih pae ih baktih toengah David mah sak; Philistinnawk to Geba hoi Gazer karoek to anih mah tuk pazawk.
David did so, as the LORD commanded him, and struck the Philistines all the way from Geba to Gezer.
