2 Samuel 10
1 Ammon koca rhoek kah manghai a duek phoeiah anih yueng la a capa Hanun te tloep manghai.
After this, the King of the children of Ammon dyed, and Hanun his sonne reigned in his steade.
2 Te vaengah David loh, “A napa loh kai soah sitlohnah a tueng sak vanbangla Nahash capa Hanun taengah sitlohnah ka tueng van ni,” a ti. Te dongah a napa kongah anih suem nah te David loh a sal rhoek kut neh a pat tih David kah sal rhoek khaw Ammon koca rhoek kah khohmuen te a pha uh.
Then sayde Dauid, I will shewe kindnesse vnto Hanun the sonne of Nahash, as his father shewed kindnesse vnto me. And Dauid sent his seruantes to comfort him for his father. So Dauids seruants came into the lande of the children of Ammon.
3 Te vaengah Ammon koca rhoek kah mangpa rhoek loh a boei Hanun taengah, “David loh na mikhmuh ah na pa a thangpom dongah nang suem hamla han tueih nama? Khopuei te khe ham neh longyam ham pawt nim? Khopuei palet hamla David loh nang taengah a sal rhoek te han tueih,” a ti nah.
And the princes of the children of Ammon sayde vnto Hanun their lorde, Thinkest thou that Dauid doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters to thee? hath not Dauid rather sent his seruants vnto thee, to search the citie, and to spie it out, and to ouerthrow it?
4 Hanun loh David kah sal rhoek te a khuen tih a hnapae rhakthuem te a vok pah phoeiah, a himbai te a ael ah ngencawn la a saii pah tih amih te a tueih.
Wherefore Hanun tooke Dauids seruants, and shaued off the halfe of their beard, and cut off their garments in the middle, euen to their buttockes, and sent them away.
5 Tedae David taengla a puen uh dongah amih aka doe te a tueih pah. Tekah hlang rhoek tah hmaithae la bahoeng a om uh coeng dongah manghai loh, “Na hmuimul a cawn hil Jerikho ah khosa uh lamtah ha bal uh,” a ti nah.
When it was told vnto Dauid, he sent to meete them (for the men were exceedingly ashamed) and the King sayde, Tary at Iericho, vntill your beards be growen, then returne.
6 David taengah a bo a rhim te Ammon ca rhoek loh a hmuh uh. Te dongah Ammon ca rhoek loh a tah uh tih Bethrekhob neh Aramzobah rhalkap thawng kul, Maakah manghai kah hlang thawngkhat, Toba kah a hlang khaw hlang thawng hlai hnih te a paang uh.
And when the children of Ammon sawe that they stanke in the sight of Dauid, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Aramites of the house of Rehob, and the Aramites of Zoba, twentie thousande footemen, and of King Maacah a thousand men, and of Ish-tob twelue thousande men.
7 David loh a yaak vaengah Joab neh caempuei hlangrhalh rhoek te boeih a tueih.
And when Dauid heard of it, he sent Ioab, and all the hoste of the strong men.
8 Te vaengah Ammon ca rhoek te ha pawk uh tih caemtloek ham vongka thohka ah rhong a paiuh. Aramzobah neh Rehob, Tob hlang neh Maakah amah amah bueng te kohong ah omuh.
And the children of Ammon came out, and put their armie in araye at the entring in of the gate: and the Aramites of Zoba, and of Rehob, and of Ish-tob, and of Maacah were by themselues in the fielde.
9 A hnuk a hmai ah caemtloek hmapai loh anih a pai thil te Joab loh a hmuh. Te dongah Israel, Israel te a coelh, a coelh tih Aram doe hamla rhong a pai.
When Ioab saw that the front of the battel was against him before and behinde, he chose of all the choyse of Israel, and put them in aray against the Aramites.
10 Pilnam hlangrhuel te a maya Abishai kut ah a tloeng tih Ammon ca rhoek doe hamla rhong a pai.
And the rest of the people hee deliuered into the hande of Abishai his brother, that hee might put them in aray against the children of Ammon.
11 Te vaengah Aram te kai lakah a tanglue atah kai taengah khangnah la ha om ne. Ammon ca rhoek ni nang lakah a tanglue van atah nang taengah khangnah la ka pawk bitni.
And he sayde, If the Aramites be stronger then I, thou shalt helpe me, and if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, I will come and succour thee.
12 Thaahuel lamtah mah pilnam ham neh mamih kah Pathen khopuei rhoek ham thaahuel uh. BOEIPA loh amah mikhmuh ah a then la a saii bitni,” a ti nah.
Be strong and let vs be valiant for our people, and for the cities of our God, and let the Lord do that which is good in his eyes.
13 Joab neh a taengkah pilnam tah Aram taengah caemtloek la thoeih. Te dongah a mikhmuh lamkah rhaelrham uh.
Then Ioab, and the people that was with him, ioyned in battel with the Aramites, who fled before him.
14 Ammon ca rhoek loh Aram a rhaelrham te a hmuh uh vaengah amamih khaw Abishai mikhmuh lamloh rhaelrham uh tih khopuei la pawk uh. Joab khaw Ammon ca rhoek taeng lamloh mael tih Jerusalem la cet.
And when the children of Ammon sawe that the Aramites fled, they fled also before Abishai, and entred into the citie. so Ioab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Ierusalem.
15 Israel mikhmuh ah amah a yawk te Aram loh a hmuh vaengah tun tingtun uh.
And when the Aramites sawe that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered them together.
16 Te dongah Hadadezer loh tuiva rhalvang kah Aram te a tah tih hang khuen. Te vaengah Hadadezer kah caempuei mangpa Helam neh Shobakh tah amih hmai ah lamhma rhoi.
And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Aramites that were beyond the Riuer: and they came to Helam, and Shobach the captaine of the hoste of Hadarezer went before them.
17 David taengla a puen pah vaengah Israel tom te a coi tih Jordan te a kat puei. Helam a pha vaengah Aram loh rhongpai neh David te a mah dongah anih neh tloek uh rhoi.
When it was shewed Dauid, then he gathered all Israel together, and passed ouer Iorden and came to Helam: and the Aramites set themselues in aray against Dauid, and fought with him:
18 Tedae Aram te Israel mikhmuh ah vik rhaelrham uh. Te dongah David loh Aram taengkah leng ya rhih neh marhang caem thawng sawmli te a ngawn. Caempuei mangpa Shobakh te khaw a ngawn tih pahoi duek.
And the Aramites fled before Israel: and Dauid destroyed seuen hundreth charets of the Aramites, and fourtie thousande horsemen, and smote Shobach the captaine of his hoste, who dyed there.
19 Hadadezer kah sal manghai rhoek loh Israel mikhmuh ah a yawk uh te boeih a hmuh uh daengah Israel te a rhong uh tih a taengah thotat uh. Te phoeiah Aram loh Ammon koca rhoek koep a rhun ham a rhih uh coeng.
And when all the Kings, that were seruants to Hadarezer, saw that they fell before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and serued them. and the Aramites feared to helpe the children of Ammon any more.
