2 Samuel 23
1 He tah David kah olka, Jesse capa David kah hmailong olphong, Jakob Pathen loh a koelh tih sang la thoh hlang kah olphong, Israel kah laa ding ni.
And these are the last words of David. Thus saith David the son of Jesse, and thus saith the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet singer of Israel:
2 BOEIPA kah Mueihla he kai dongah cal tih, a ol Te ka lai dongah om.
The Spirit of the Lord spoke through me, and his word was upon my tongue.
3 Israel Pathen loh kai taengah a thui tih, “Israel lungpang tah hlang soah a dueng la aka taemrhai tih Pathen hinyahnah neh aka taem aka rhai la om.
[Thus] said the God of Israel, concerning me spoke the Rock of Israel, That [I should be] ruler over men, be righteous, ruling in the fear of God;
4 Mincang khosae khomik aka thoeng bangla, mincang khomai a om pawt dongah a aa bangla, khotlan hnukah diklai lamkah baelhing banghui ni.
And as in the light of morning the sun riseth, in a morning without clouds, with more than the brightness [reflected] by rain on the herbs that spring from the earth.
5 Ka imkhui he Pathen neh doda uh ngawn pawt cakhaw kumhal paipi tah kamah taengah ni a. khueh. A cungkuem dongah rhong a tael tih ka daemnah cungkuem te a ngaithuen. Te dongah ka hue ngaih boeih te khaw cuen voel pawh.
Truly is not so my house with God? since he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, firm in all, and sure? yea, will he not cause to grow all my salvation, and all my desire?
6 Tedae aka muen tah hling bangla a thaek banlak tih kut nen khaw lo voel pawh.
But the godless are all of them as waving thorns, which cannot be taken in the hand;
7 Amih aka ben hlang long tah thi neh caai tueng khaw cung tih amah hmuen ah hmai neh a hoeh la a hoeh uh,” a ti.
But the man that will touch them must protect his hand with iron and the staff of a spear: and they will be utterly burnt with fire in the dwelling.
8 He rhoek he tah David kah hlangrhalh rhoek kah a ming ni. Takhemoni Joshebbashebeth tah boeilu la om tih anih tah amah kah caai neh yahuem sut. Caai nen te hlang ya rhet mai voei khat la a rhokpam sak.
These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Yosheb-bashebeth, the Thachkemonite, the chief among the captains, —the same as 'Adino the 'Eznite, —because of eight hundred slain at one time.
9 Anih hnuk, anih hnukah tah Akhohi capa Dodo, Dodo capa Eleazar khaw David taengkah hlangrhalh pathum khuiah thum. Amih te a veet tih caemtloek ham Philisti rhoek a tingtun uh vaengah Israel hlang khaw a khuen uh.
And after him was El'azar the son of Dodo, the son of Achochi, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel had withdrawn themselves;
10 Te dongah anih Te thoo tih a kut a kohnue neh cunghang dongah a kut rhap a khoom duela Philisti te a tloek. Te dongah BOEIPA loh amah khohnin ah loeihnah tanglue a saii pah tih pilnam khaw anih hnukah hnopai pit ham dawk la ha pawk uh.
He then arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand did cleave unto the sword: and the Lord wrought a great victory on that day; and the people returned after him only to strip [the slain].
11 Anih phoeiah Harari Agee capa Shammah a om vaengah Philisti tah mulhing bangla tingtun uh. Te vaengah lohma kah khamyai ah rhacik khawk om tapkhoeh. Pilnam tah Philisti mikhmuh lamloh rhaelrham coeng.
And after him was Shammah the son of Age the Hararite. The Philistines were gathered together into a troop, and there was a piece of ground full of lentiles; and the people had fled from the Philistines;
12 Te vaengah khamyai bangli ah pai tih pilnam te a huul. Philisti te a ngawn vaengah BOEIPA loh loeihnah tanglue a saii pah.
But he placed himself in the midst of the ground, and delivered it, and smote the Philistines: and the Lord wrought a great victory.
13 A lu sawmthum pathum khuikah sawmthum Te suntla uh tih cangah vaengah Adullam lungko kah David taengla pawk uh. Te vaengah Philisti mulhing tah Rephaim kol ah rhaeh pueng.
And these three, the chiefs of the thirty, went down, and came to David at harvest-time unto the cave of 'Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
14 Te vaengah David Te rhalvong khuiah om tih Philisti rhaltawt hmuen tah Bethlehem ah om van.
And David was then in the strong-hold, and an outpost of the Philistines was then in Beth-lechem.
15 David loh vongka kah Bethlehem tuito tui ke a ngaidam tih, “U long nim kai n'tul lah ve,” a ti.
And David longed, and said, Oh that one would bring me water to drink out of the well at Beth-lechem, which is by the gate!
16 Te dongah hlangrhalh pathum loh Philisti kah rhaehhmuen te a va uh tih vongka kah Bethlehem tuito tui a than uh. Te phoeiah a khuen uh tih David taengla a pawk puei uh. Tedae a ok ham huem pawt tih BOEIPA hmaiah a hawk.
And the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines; and drew water out of the well of Beth-lechem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David; but he would not drink thereof, and poured it out unto the Lord.
17 Te vaengah, “He ka saii ham kai lamkah tah savisava BOEIPA, a hinglu aka caeh puei hlang rhoek kah a thii a? a ti tih ok ham huem pawh. Hlangrhalh pathum long khaw te tlam te ni a saii uh.
And he said, Far be it from me, O Lord, that I should do this: [is not this] the blood of the men that went at the risk of their life? and thus he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.
18 Zeruiah capa Joab mana Abishai tah pathum kah a lu la om. Anih loh a caai te a haeng tih ya thum a rhokpam sak. Te dongah anih tah pathum lakah a ming om.
And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruyah, was the chief of these three; and he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain, and had a name among the three.
19 Pathum lakah a thangpom het a? Te dongah amih taengah mangpa la om cakhaw pathum te a pha moenih.
Although he was the most honored of the three, wherefore he became their captain: he nevertheless attained not unto the three [in prowess].
20 Kabzeel lamkah Jehoiada capa Benaiah tah hlangtang capa, tatthai neh a bisai khaw khuet. Anih loh Moab kah sathueng hlang panit te a ngawn. Te phoeiah anih Te suntla tih vuel hla dongah vaam kah sathueng khui ah aka om sathueng te a ngawn.
And Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', the son of a valiant man, great in many acts of Kabzeel; he it was that smote the two lion-like heroes of Moab; he also went down and slew a lion in the midst of a pit on a day when it snowed;
21 Anih loh Egypt hlang tah a mueimae hlang aka then khaw a ngawn bal. Egypt kut dongah caai om dae a conghol neh a suntlak thil. Te phoeiah Egypt kut lamkah caai te a rhawth pah tih amah caai neh amah te a ngawn.
And he slew an Egyptian, a man of good appearance; and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and he snatched the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.
22 Te te a saii dongah Jehoiada capa Benaiah tah hlangrhalh pathum dongah a ming thum.
These things did Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', and he had a name among the three mighty men.
23 Sawmthum lakah a thangpom dongah pathum taengah thum sak voel pawt tih anih Te David amah kah a taengom la a khueh.
He was more honored than the thirty; but he attained not to these three. And David appointed him in his private council.
