1 Khokhuen 14

1 Tyre manghai Huram Khiram loh David taengla puencawn neh a im sak pah ham lamphai thing khaw, pangbueng dongkah kutthai khaw, thing dongkah kutthai khaw a pat.

NOW Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.

2 BOEIPA loh Israel soah manghai la anih a thoh te khaw, a pilnam Israel kong ah a ram so la a dangrhoek te khaw David loh a ming.

And David perceived that the Lord had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel.

3 David loh Jerusalem ah yuu koep a loh dongah David loh canu khaw capa khaw koep a sak.

And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters.

4 He rhoek he Jerusalem ah a sak tih amah taengah aka om rhoek kah a ming ni. Shammua, Shobab, Nathan neh Solomon.

Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

5 Ibhar, Elishua neh Eliphelet.

And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,

6 Nogah, Nepheg neh Japhia.

And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

7 Elishama, Beeliada neh Eliphelet.

And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.

8 Israel boeih kah manghai la David a koelh te Philisti loh a yaak vaengah David tlap hamla Philisti pum loh cet uh. Tedae David loh a yaak coeng dongah amih mikhmuh la cet.

And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David. And David heard of it, and went out against them.

9 Philisti rhoek a pawk vaengah Rephaim kol la capit uh.

And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

10 Tedae David loh Pathen te a dawt tih, “Philisti taengla ka cet koinih Philisti te ka kut dongah nan tloeng aya?” a ti nah. Te dongah BOEIPA loh anih te, “Cet lamtah amih te na kut ah kan tloeng bitni,” a ti nah.

And David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the Lord said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.

11 Te dongah Baalperazim la cet uh dae amih te David loh pahoi a ngawn. Te vaengah David loh, “Pathen loh ka thunkha te tui puut bangla kamah kut ah a va coeng,” a ti. Te dongah te hmuen ming te Baalperazim la a khue.

So they came up to Baal-perazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.

12 Te vaengah amamih kah pathen te pahoi a toeng uh coeng dongah David loh a ti nah bangla hmai neh a hoeh uh.

And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.

13 Te phoeiah Philisti loh koep a khoep tih kol ah capit uh bal.

And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.

14 Te dongah David loh Pathen te koep a dawt tih, Pathen loh anih te, “Amih hnukah cet boeh. A so lamloh vael lamtah amih te tikti rhaldan ah cuuk.

Therefore David inquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.

15 Tikti soi ah haeksak ol na yaak van neh caemtloek la thoeih uh. Philisti caem ngawn hamla nang hmai ah Pathen cet coeng,” a ti nah.

And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.

16 David long khaw Pathen kah a uen bangla a saii tangloeng. Te dongah Philisti caem te Gibeon lamloh Gezer duela a ngawn uh.

David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.

17 Te dongah David ming te diklai pum ah thang. BOEIPA loh a birhihnah te namtom cungkuem soah a khueh.

And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the Lord brought the fear of him upon all nations.
