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

After this it happened that David struck the Philistines, and subdued them, and David took the bridle of Ammah out of the hand of the Philistines.

He struck Moab, and measured them with the line, making them to lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. The Moabites became servants to David, and brought tribute.

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

David struck also Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his dominion at 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 a thousand of his chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for one hundred chariots.

When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck of the Arameans two and twenty thousand men.

Then David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus; and the Arameans became servants to David, and brought tribute. The LORD gave victory to David 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 the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem, which, later on, were also taken by Shishak king of Egypt in the days of Rehoboam son of Solomon when he went up to Jerusalem.

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

From Tebah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took a very great amount of bronze.

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

When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had struck 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.

then Toi sent Hadoram his son to king David, to greet him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And he brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze.

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

The King also dedicated these to the LORD, with the silver and gold that he dedicated of all the nations which he subdued;

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

And David made a name for himself when he returned from defeating the Arameans. And Abishai son of Zeruiah defeated the Edomites in the Valley of Salt--eighteen thousand.
