2 Samuel 8

1 David loh Philisti te a ngawn tih amih te a hnah daengah Philisti kut lamkah Ammah Metheg te David loh a loh.

And it came about after this that David made an attack on the Philistines and overcame them; and David took the authority of the mother-town from the hands of the Philistines.

2 Moab te a tloek tih rhui a toe thil phoeiah amih te diklai la a yalh sak. Te vaengah ngawn hamla than hnih te a khueh tih than at a hing la boeih a khueh. Te dongah Moab tah David taengah sal la om tih khocang te a thak. Te dongah Moab loh David kah sal a bi tih mangmu a paek.

And he overcame the Moabites, and he had them measured with a line when they were stretched out on the earth; marking out two lines for death and one full line for life. So the Moabites became servants to David and gave him offerings.

3 Anih kut lamkah loh Perath tuiva phaiTe lat hamla Zobah manghai Rehob capa Hadadezer te a caeh vaengah David loh a tloek.

And David overcame Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, when he went to make his power seen by the River.

4 Te vaengah David loh marhang caem thawngkhat ya rhih, rhalkap hlang thawng kul a tuuk pah. Te vaengah David loh leng yakhat Te amah ham a paih tih a tloe leng boeih te tah boeih a haih.

And David took from him one thousand, seven hundred horsemen and twenty thousand footmen: and David had the leg-muscles of the horses cut, only keeping enough of them for a hundred war-carriages.

5 Zobah manghai Hadadezer bom hamla Damasku long khaw a paan dae Aram hlang thawng kul thawng hnih Te David loh a ngawn.

And when the Aramaeans of Damascus came to the help of Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David put to the sword twenty-two thousand of the Aramaeans.

6 David loh Damasku ah khohung a khueh. Te dongah Aram tah David taengah khocang aka thak sal la om. David te a caeh nah boeih ah BOEIPA loh a khang.

And David put armed forces in Aram of Damascus: and the Aramaeans became servants to David and gave him offerings. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.

7 Te phoeiah Hadadezer sal rhoek taengah aka om sui photling te David loh a loh tih Jerusalem la a khuen.

And David took their gold body-covers from the servants of Hadadezer and took them to Jerusalem.

8 Hadadezer khopuei Betah lamkah neh Berothai lamkah rhohum Te yet Te manghai David loh kang a khuen.

And from Tebah and Berothai, towns of Hadadezer, King David took a great store of brass.

9 Hadadezer kah tatthai boeih te David loh a ngawn coeng tila Khamath manghai Toi loh a yaak.

And when Tou, king of Hamath, had news that David had overcome all the army of Hadadezer,

10 Te dongah Toi loh a capa Joram te manghai David taengla a tueih tih sading kawng te a dawt sak. Toi amah khaw Hadadezer kut dongah ana om coeng dongah Hadadezer a vathoh thil tih anih kah caemtloek hlang a ngawn pah te a uem coeng. Te vaengah hnopai la cak, sui neh rhohum te a khuen pah.

He sent his son Hadoram to David, with words of peace and blessing, because he had overcome Hadadezer in the fight, for Hadadezer had wars with Tou; and Hadoram took with him vessels of silver and gold and brass:

11 Manghai David loh namtom boeih taeng lamkah a hoep tih a khoem cak neh sui te khaw,

These King David made holy to the Lord, together with the silver and gold which he had taken from the nations he had overcome —

12 Aram lamkah, Moab lamkah, Ammon koca taeng lamkah, Philisti lamkah, Amalek lamkah, Zobah manghai Rehob capa Hadadezer kutbuem khui lamkah te khaw BOEIPA taengah a ciim.

The nations of Edom and Moab, and the children of Ammon and the Philistines and the Amalekites and the goods he had taken from Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

13 Kolrhawk ah Aram hlang thawng hlai rhet a ngawn tih a mael vaengah David ming Te om coeng.

And David got great honour for himself, when he came back, by the destruction of Edom in the valley of Salt, to the number of eighteen thousand men.

14 Te phoeiah khohung rhoekTe Edom ah a khueh. Edom tom ah khohung rhoek a khueh coeng dongah Edom Te David taengah sal la boeih om. David te a caeh nah boeih ah BOEIPA loh a khang.

And he put armed forces in Edom; all through Edom he had armed forces stationed, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.

15 David loh Israel pum te a manghai thil coeng. David a om vaengah a pilnam boeih taengah duengnah neh a tiktam la a saii.

And David was king over all Israel, judging and giving right decisions for all his people.

16 Zeruiah capa Joab Te caempuei soah, Ahilud capa Jehoshaphat Te khocil aka khoem la,

And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the army; and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was keeper of the records;

17 Ahitub capa Zadok neh Abiathar capa Ahimelek Te khosoih la, Seraiah Te cadaek la,

And Zadok and Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, were priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;

18 Jehoiada capa Benaiah, Kerethi, Phelethi neh David capa rhoek tah khosoih la om uh.

And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were priests.
