At the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, Joab led out the army and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. Joab struck Rabbah, and overthrew it.
2 David loh amih kah manghai rhuisam te a lu dong lamloh a loh pah. Te te a khiing sui talent khat lo tih a khuiah lung vang om. Te tah David lu dongah om tih khopuei kah kutbuem a khuen khaw bahoeng yet.
David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it. It was set on David’s head, and he brought very much plunder out of the city.
3 A khuikah pilnam te khaw a khuen tih hlawh taengah, thi yoeng taengah, hlawh te a ah sak. Te tlam te David loh Ammon koca rhoek kah khopuei boeih te a saii. Te phoeiah ni David neh a pilnam boeih te Jerusalem la a mael pueng.
He brought out the people who were in it, and had them cut with saws, with iron picks, and with axes. David did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
4 A hnukah khaw Gezer ah Philisti neh caemtloek koep puek bal. Te vaengah Khushathi Sibbekhai loh Rapha cahlah lamkah Sippai te a ngawn sak tih a kunyun sakuh.
After this, war arose at Gezer with the Philistines. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, of the sons of the giant; and they were subdued.
5 Te phoeiah Philisti neh caemtloek om bal tih Jair kah Jair capa Elhanan loh Ghitti Goliath mana Lahmi te a ngawn. Anih kah caai tueng te hni tak kah tampai bangla om.
Again there was war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
6 Gath ah caemtloek om bal tih cungkui hlang kaw om. A kutdawn khodawn parhuk, parhuk neh pakul pali lo. Anih khaw Rapha lamkah ca sak ni.
There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six on each hand and six on each foot; and he also was born to the giant.
7 Israel te a veet dongah anih te David maya Shimea capa Jonathan loh a ngawn.
When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.
8 Rapha lamkah a sak rhoek he Gath ah David kut neh a sal rhoek kut ah cungku uh.
These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
