2 Samuel 5

1 Israel koca pum loh David te Hebron la a paan uh tih, “Kaimih he namah rhuh, kaimih he namah saa dae la he.

Then came all the tribes of Israel to Dauid vnto Hebron, and said thus, Beholde, we are thy bones and thy flesh.

2 Hlaem hlavai kah Saul a om vaengah ni kaimih soah manghai la na om khaw na om rhoe coeng. Israel te a thak, a thak tih a pawk khaw a pawk puei. Te dongah ni BOEIPA loh namah taengah, 'Ka pilnam Israel te na luem puei vetih Israel soah rhaengsang la na om bitni,’ a ti pai,” a ti uh.

And in time past when Saul was our King, thou leddest Israel in and out: and the Lord hath sayde to thee, Thou shalt feede my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captaine ouer Israel.

3 Israel patong boeih loh Hebron la manghai te a paan uh. Te vaengah manghai David loh amih te Hebron ah moi a boh pah tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah David te Israel sokah manghai la a koelh uh.

So all the Elders of Israel came to the King to Hebron: and King Dauid made a couenant with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they anoynted Dauid King ouer Israel.

4 David a manghai vaengah kum sawmthum lo ca coeng tih kum sawmli khuiah manghai van.

Dauid was thirtie yeere olde when he began to reigne: and hee reigned fortie yeere.

5 Hebron ah Judah te kum rhih hla rhuk a manghai thil tih Jerusalem ah Israel neh Judah pum te kum sawmthum kum thum a manghai thil.

In Hebron hee reigned ouer Iudah seuen yeere, and sixe moneths: and in Ierusalem hee reigned thirtie and three yeeres ouer all Israel and Iudah.

6 Manghai neh a hlang rhoek loh Jerusalem khohmuen khosa kung Jebusi te a caeh uh thil hatah David te a voek tih, “Hela na kun mahpawh, hela David kun boel saeh a ti coeng atah mikdael rhoek neh aka khaem rhoek long mah nang te n'haek thai,” a ti nah.

The King also and his men went to Ierusalem vnto the Iebusites, the inhabitants of the land: who spake vnto Dauid, saying, Except thou take away the blinde and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking that Dauid coulde not come thither.

7 Tedae David loh Zion rhalvong David khopuei te vik a loh.

But Dauid tooke the fort of Zion: this is the citie of Dauid.

8 Te khohnin ah David loh, “Aka khaem khaw, mikdael khaw, khat khat long khaw Jebusi aka ngawn tah tuikun khaw pha saeh,” a ti. Te khaw David kah a hinglu a hmuhuet, la a hmuhuet uh tih mikdael khokhaem loh, “Im khuila ha kun boel saeh,” a ti uh dongah ni.

Nowe Dauid had sayd the same day, Whosoeuer smiteth the Iebusites, and getteth vp to the gutters and smiteth the lame and blinde, which Dauids soule hateth, I will preferre him: therefore they saide, The blinde and the lame shall not come into that house.

9 Rhalvong te David loh a om thil dongah David Khopuei la a khue. Te dongah vaikhap lamloh imkhui duela a kaepvai te David loh a sak.

So Dauid dwelt in that forte, and called it the citie of Dauid, and Dauid built rounde about it, from Millo, and inward.

10 David a caeh a pongpa vaengah a pantai te caempuei Pathen BOEIPA loh anih a om puei dongah ni.

And Dauid prospered and grewe: for the Lord God of hostes was with him.

11 Tyre manghai Khiram loh David taengla puencawn a tueih tih lamphai thing, thing kutthai, pangbueng dongkah ham lungto kutthai neh David ham im a sak uh.

Hiram also king of Tyrus sent messengers to Dauid, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons for walles: and they built Dauid an house.

12 Israel sokah manghai la BOEIPA loh anih a thoh khaw, a pilnam Israel kong ah a ram a phoh te khaw David loh a ming.

Then Dauid knewe that the Lord had stablished him King ouer Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdome for his people Israels sake.

13 David loh yupuei yula muep a loh dongah Hebron lamkah Jerusalem la a pawk vaengah David ham capa neh canu khawk a sak pauh.

And Dauid tooke him more concubines and wiues out of Ierusalem, after hee was come from Hebron, and more sonnes and daughters were borne to Dauid.

14 Jerusalem ah anih ham aka thaang rhoek a ming rhoek tah Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

And these bee the names of the sonnes that were borne vnto him in Ierusale: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Salomon,

15 Ibhar, Elishua neh, Nepheg neh Japhia,

And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Iaphia,

16 Elishama, Eliada neh Eliphelet.

And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.

17 Israel sokah manghai la David a koelh uh te Philisti rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah David mae hamla Philisti rhoek boeih cet uh. Tedae David loh a yaak tih rhalvong la suntla thuk.

But when the Philistims hearde that they had anoynted Dauid King ouer Israel, all the Philistims came vp to seeke Dauid: and when Dauid heard, he went downe to a fort.

18 Te vaengah Philisti rhoek ha pawk uh tih Rapha kol ah khawk taai uh.

But the Philistims came, and spred themselues in the valley of Rephaim.

19 David loh BOEIPA te a dawt tih, “Philisti te ka paan a yaa, amih te ka kut dongah nan tloeng aya?” a ti nah hatah BOEIPA loh David te, “Cet! Philisti te na kut dongah kam paek rhoe kam paek ni,” a ti nah.

Then Dauid asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I goe vp to the Philistims? wilt thou deliuer them into mine handes? And the Lord answered Dauid, Goe vp: for I will doubtlesse deliuer the Philistims into thine handes.

20 David te Baalperazim la cet tih amih te a ngawn. Te vaengah David loh, “Ka thunkha rhoek te BOEIPA loh ka mikhmuh ah tui puut bangla a va coeng,” a ti. Te dongah tekah hmuen te a ming Baalperazim la a khue.

Then Dauid came to Baal-perazim, and smote them there, and sayde, The Lord hath deuided mine enemies asunder before mee, as waters be deuided asunder: therefore he called the name of that place, Baal-perazim.

21 Te vaengah a hnoo uh sut amih muei te David neh a hlang rhoek loh a koh uh.

And there they left their images, and Dauid and his men burnt them.

22 Te phoeiah a rhaep la Philisti rhoek koep cet uh tih Rapha kol ah taai uh.

Againe the Philistims came vp, and spred themselues in the valley of Rephaim.

23 Te vaengah David loh BOEIPA te a dawt hatah, “Cet boeh, a hnuk longah vael lamtah, amih te tikti rhaldan ah khoep cuuk.

And when Dauid asked counsell of the Lord, hee answered, Thou shalt not goe vp, but turne about behinde them, and come vpon them ouer against the mulberie trees.

24 Tikti soi ah haeksak ol na yaak la, na yaak coeng atah cuuk thil laeh. Philisti lambong tloek ham te na hmaiah BOEIPA cet coeng,” a ti nah.

And when thou hearest the noyse of one going in the toppes of the mulberie trees, then remoue: for then shall the Lord goe out before thee, to smite the hoste of the Philistims.

25 BOEIPA loh amah a uen bangla David loh a saii tih Philisti te a tloek tih Geba lamloh Gezer la pawk.

Then Dauid did so as the Lord had commanded him, and smote the Philistims from Geba, vntil thou come to Gazer.
