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.

Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, carpenters, and masons. They built 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.

David knew that Yahweh had established him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted on high for the sake of his people Israel.

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

In Jerusalem, David took more wives, and he became the father of more sons and daughters.

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.

Now when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Israel, they all went out looking for him. But David heard about it and went out against them.

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

Now the Philistines had come and made a raid 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.

Then David asked for help from God. He said, “Should I attack the Philistines? Will you give victory over them?” Yahweh said to him, “Attack, for I will certainly give them to you.”

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 there he defeated them. He commented, “God has burst through my enemies by my hand like a bursting flood of water.” So the name of that place became 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.

The Philistines abandoned their gods there, and David gave an order that they should be burned.

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

Then the Philistines raided the valley yet again.

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.

So David asked for help from God again. God said to him, “You must not attack their front, but rather circle around behind them and come on them through the balsam woods.

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.

When you hear the sound of marching in the wind blowing through the balsam treetops, then attack with force. Do this because God will have gone out before you to attack 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.

So David did as God had commanded him. He defeated the army of the Philistines from Gibeon all the way to Gezer.

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

Then David's fame went out into all lands, and Yahweh caused all nations to fear him.
