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 it came to pass after this, that David smote the Philistines, and humbled them: and David took Metheg-haammah 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, laying them down on the ground; and he measured with two lines to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And the Moabites became David's servants, bringing presents.

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 Hadad'ezer, the son of Rechob, the king of Zobah, as he went to extend his territory 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 captured from him a thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand men on foot: and David hamstringed all the chariot-teams, but reserved of them a hundred chariot-teams.

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

And the Syrians of Damascus then came to aid Hadad'ezer, the king of Zobah, when David slew of the Syrians twenty and two 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.

And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, bearing presents. And the Lord helped David whithersoever 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 belonged to the servants of Hadad'ezer, 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 Betach, and from Berothai, cities of Hadad'ezer, did king David take exceedingly much copper.

9 Hadadezer kah tatthai boeih te David loh a ngawn coeng tila Khamath manghai Toi loh a yaak.

And when To'i the king of Chamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadad'ezer,

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 did To'i send Yoram his son unto king David, to ask him after his well-being, and to bless him, because that he had fought against Hadad'ezer, and smitten him; for Hadad'ezer had been engaged in wars with To'i; and he had in his hand vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of copper:

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

These also did king David sanctify unto the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had sanctified from all the 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.

From Syria, and from Moab, and from the children of 'Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from 'Amalek, and from the spoil of Hadad'ezer, the son of Rechob, the king of Zobah.

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

And David acquired a name when he returned from his smiting the Syrians in the valley of salt, 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 the Edomites became servants to David. And the Lord helped David whithersoever 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 did what is just and right unto all his people.

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

And Joab the son of Zeruyah was over the army; and Jehoshaphat the son of Achilud was recorder;

17 Ahitub capa Zadok neh Abiathar capa Ahimelek te khosoih la, Seraiah te cadaek la,

And Zadok the son of Achitub, and Achimelech the son of Ebyathar, were priests; and Serayah was scribe;

18 Jehoiada capa Benaiah, Kerethi, Phelethi neh David capa rhoek tah khosoih la om uh.

And Banayahu the son of Yehoyada' was over both the Kerethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were officers of state.
