2 Samuel 8

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

And after this it came to pass that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Methegammah out of the hand of the Philistines.

2 Moab te a tloek tih rhui a toe thil phoeiah amih te diklai la a yalh sak. Te vaengah ngawn hamla than hnih te a khueh tih than at a hing la boeih a khueh. Te dongah Moab tah David taengah sal la om tih khocang te a thak. Te dongah Moab loh David kah sal a bi tih mangmu a paek.

And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David’s servants, and brought gifts.

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

David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates.

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 chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots.

5 Zobah manghai Hadadezer bom hamla Damasku long khaw a paan dae Aram hlang thawng kul thawng hnih te David loh a ngawn.

And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succor Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.

6 David loh Damasku ah khohung a khueh. Te dongah Aram tah David taengah khocang aka thak sal la om. David te a caeh nah boeih ah BOEIPA loh a khang.

Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And the LORD preserved 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.

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

And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass.

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 smitten all the host 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 Joram his son to king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:

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

Which also king David did dedicate to the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;

12 Aram lamkah, Moab lamkah, Ammon koca taeng lamkah, Philisti lamkah, Amalek lamkah, Zobah manghai Rehob capa Hadadezer kutbuem khui lamkah te khaw BOEIPA taengah a ciim.

Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

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

And David got him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men.

14 Te phoeiah khohung rhoek te Edom ah a khueh. Edom tom ah khohung rhoek a khueh coeng dongah Edom te David taengah sal la boeih om. David te a caeh nah boeih ah BOEIPA loh a khang.

And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David’s servants. And the LORD preserved David wherever he went.

15 David loh Israel pum te a manghai thil coeng. David a om vaengah a pilnam boeih taengah duengnah neh a tiktam la a saii.

And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice to all his people.

16 Zeruiah capa Joab te caempuei soah, Ahilud capa Jehoshaphat te khocil aka khoem la,

And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief rulers.
