1 Khokhuen 11

1 Israel pum te Hebron kah David taengla tingtun uh tih, “Kaimih he na rhuh neh na saa ni he.

Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we [are] thy bone and thy flesh.

2 Hlaem hlavai kah na manghai Saul a om vaengah pataeng Israel te na vuenva puei tih na kunael puei. Te dongah ni na Pathen BOEIPA loh namah taengah, “Nang tah ka pilnam Israel na luem puei vetih nang he ka pilnam Israel soah rhaengsang la na om ni, ' a ti,” a ti nauh.

And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou [wast] he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel.

3 Israel kah a ham boeih khaw Hebron kah manghai taengla pawk uh tih David loh amih neh Hebron kah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah paipi a saii. Te phoeiah Samuel kut dongkah BOEIPA ol vanbangla David te Israel sokah manghai la a koelh uh.

Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel.

4 Te vaengah David neh Israel boeih tah Jebus Jerusalem la cet uh. Te khohmuen kah khosa rhoek tah Jebusi rhoek ni.

And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which [is] Jebus; where the Jebusites [were], the inhabitants of the land.

5 Te vaengah Jebus kah khosa rhoek loh David te, “Hela ha kun boeh,” a ti nah. Tedae David loh David khopuei kah Zion rhalvong te a rhawt pah.

And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which [is] the city of David.

6 Te phoeiah David loh, “Lamhma la Jebusi aka ngawn boeih tah boeilu la, mangpa la om saeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Zeruiah capa Joab te lamhma la cet tih boeilu la pahoi om van.

And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.

7 David loh te kah rhalmahim ah kho a sak dongah ni David khopuei la a khue uh.

And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the city of David.

8 Khopuei te a kaepvai kah vaikhap lamloh khotaeng khovai hil a thoh tih a caknoi khopuei te Joab loh a hing sak.

And he built the city round about, even from Millo round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

9 David te pongpa, pongpa tih a pantai vanbangla caempuei BOEIPA khaw anih taengah om.

So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts [was] with him.

10 He tah a ram khuiah anih aka duel David kah boeilu hlangrhalh rhoek neh Israel sokah BOEIPA ol bangla anih aka manghai sak Israel cungkuem rhoek coeng ni.

These also [are] the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, [and] with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.

11 David kah hlangrhalh hlangmi he tah sawmthum kah boeilu, rhalboei Hakhomi capa Jashobeam. Anih loh a caai te a haeng tih ya thum te voei khat la a rhokpam sak.

And this [is] the number of the mighty men whom David had; Jashobeam, an Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain [by him] at one time.

12 Anih hmatoeng ah Akhohi Dodo capa Eleazar. Anih khaw hlangrhalh pathum khuikah ni.

And after him [was] Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who [was one] of the three mighties.

13 Anih te Pasdammin ah khaw David taengah ni a om. Te vaengah Philisti rhoek tah caemtloek la pahoi tingtun uh. Lohma kah khamyai te cangtun khawk om pueng dae pilnam tah Philisti mikhmuh lamloh rhaelrham uh.

He was with David at Pas-dammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.

14 Lohma li ah pai uh tih khohmuen te a huul uh. Te dongah Philisti te a ngawn uh vaengah khaw BOEIPA loh loeihnah a len neh a khang.

And they set themselves in the midst of [that] parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved [them] by a great deliverance.

15 Boeilu sawmthum lamkah pathum te Adullam lungko lungpang kah David taengla a suntlak uh vaengah Philisti caem tah Rephaim kol ah rhaeh uh.

Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim.

16 David te rhalvong ah a om kuelhuelh vaengah Philisti khohung te Bethlehem ah om van.

And David [was] then in the hold, and the Philistines’ garrison [was] then at Beth-lehem.

17 David loh Bethlehem vongka kah tuito lamkah tui te a ngaidam, a ngaidam vaengah tah, “Kai he u long nim n'tul lah ve?” a ti.

And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Beth-lehem, that [is] at the gate!

18 Pathum long te Philisti rhaehhmuen te a va uh tih vongka taengkah Bethlehem tuito lamkah tui te a than uh. Te phoeiah a khuen uh tih David taengla pawk uh. Tedae David loh te te a ok ham huem pawt tih BOEIPA ham a suep.

And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that [was] by the gate, and took [it], and brought [it] to David: but David would not drink [of] it, but poured it out to the LORD,

19 Te phoeiah, “He saii ham he kamah lamkah khaw, ka Pathen taeng lamkah khaw savisava saeh. A hinglu te a kun puei uh coeng dongah hinglu dongkah hlang thii he a ka ok eh?” a ti. Te dongah hlangrhalh pathum loh a saii pah te ok hamla huem pawh.

And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with [the jeopardy of] their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest.

20 Te vaengah Joab mana Abishai tah te rhoek pathum kah a lu la om. Anih loh a caai a haeng tih ya thum te a rhokpam sak. Te dongah pawt nim anih te pathum lakli ah ming a om.

And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew [them], and had a name among the three.

21 Pathum lakah khaw rhaep nit la a thangpom tih amih taengah mangpa la a om coeng dongah pathum lakli ah mop voel pawh.

Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was their captain: howbeit he attained not to the [first] three.

22 Kabzeel lamkah bisai aka ping, tatthai hlang capa, Jehoiada koca Benaiah loh Moab kah sathueng hlang rhoi te a tloek. Te phoeiah anih te vuelsong khohnin ah khaw suntla tih tangrhom khui kah sathueng te a ngawn bal.

And he slew an Egyptian, a man of [great] stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian’s hand [was] a spear like a weaver’s beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and slew him with his own spear.

24 He tlam he Jehoiada capa Benaiah loh a saii dongah ni anih te a ming khaw hlangrhalh pathum lakah a om.

These [things] did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among the three mighties.
