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.

And Chiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar timbers, and masons, and carpenters, to build a house for him.

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 knew that the Lord [had] designed him to be king over Israel; because his kingdom was highly exalted, on account 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 in Jerusalem: and there were born to David 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.

And these [are] the names of those that were born, who were [born] to him in Jerusalem; Samaa, Sobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

5 Ibhar, Elishua neh Eliphelet.

and Baar, and Elisa, and Eliphaleth,

and Nageth, and Naphath, and Japhie,

7 Elishama, Beeliada neh Eliphelet.

and Elisamae, and Eliade, and Eliphala.

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 the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel: and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard [it], and went out to meet them.

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

And the Philistines came and assembled together in the giants' valley.

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 enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and will you deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to him, Go up, and I will deliver them into your hands.

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.

And he went up to Baal Pharasin, and David struck them there; and David said, God has broken through enemies by my hand like a breach of water: therefore he called the name of that place, the Breach of Pharasin.

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 the Philistines left their gods there; and David gave orders to burn them with fire.

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

And the Philistines once more assembled themselves in the giants' 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.

And David enquired of God again; and God said to him, You shall not go after them; turn away from them, and you shall come upon them near the pear 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 you shall hear the sound of their tumult in the tops of the pear trees, then you shall go into the battle: for God has gone out before you to strike the army 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.

And he did as God commanded him: and he struck the army of the Philistines from Gabaon to Gazera.

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

And the name of David was [famous] in all the land; and the Lord put the terror of him on all the nations.
