1 Thusimbu 11

1 Hichun Israel mipite chu Hebron khopia David heng ah chun ahung uvin, keiho hi nangma tahsa tahle thisan kahiuve atiu vin ahi.

Then all of Israel was gathered to David at Hebron, saying: “We are your bone and your flesh.

2 Masang Saul leng ana hi laia jong nangma hi Israel te gal lamkai ana hijing jeng nahi, chule Pakai na Pathen in nasei pih banga nangma hi Israel mipi kelngoi chingpha le lamkai dia lhendoh nahi.

Also, yesterday and the day before, when Saul still reigned, you were the one who led out and brought in Israel. For the Lord your God said to you: ‘You shall pasture my people Israel, and you shall be the leader over them.’”

3 Hiti chun Hebron mun’a chun David in Pakai le Israel upa ho masang ah kitepna theng ana sem in ahi. Hichea Pakai in Samuel kom’a anasei bang chun David chu Israel te dia leng ding in thaonu ana hin ahi.

Therefore, all those greater by birth of Israel went to the king at Hebron. And David formed a pact with them before the Lord. And they anointed him king over Israel, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of Samuel.

4 Chujouvin David le Israel mipi techun Jerusalem chulai phat’a jebus tiajong ana kihe mun chu ana nokhum un anasat uve. Hilai chu Jebus mite gamnei dihtah te chen na gam ahi.

Then David and all of Israel went to Jerusalem. The same is Jebus, where the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were.

5 Chule Jebus miten David chu akhopi sung’u alut ding ana nom povin ahi. Ahivang inla David in Zion kulpi tua David khopi tia kihe mun lai chu ana lotan ahi.

And those who were living in Jebus said to David: “You shall not enter here.” But David seized the stronghold of Zion, which is the city of David.

6 David in asepai miho kom’a hitin asei e. Koi hijong leh Jebus mite kisat pia hinthat masa pen aumleh ka sepai jalamkai luboh’a pang ding ahi ati. Hichun Jebus mite hinsat’a that masapen in Joab kitipa David sopinu Zuriah chapa chu ahung hitoh kilhon in, David gal lamkai panmun masapen chu ana chang tan ahi.

And he said, “Whoever shall strike the Jebusites first, shall be ruler and commander.” And so Joab, the son of Zeruiah, ascended first, and he was made the leader.

7 David in kulpi chu chenna in, amang in hichu David khopi tin akikou e.

Then David lived in the stronghold, and for this reason it was called the City of David.

8 David in akhopi chu nisolam’a pat avel dung jouse chu akehlet be in ana semtoh in ahi. Chule Joab in amoh chengse chu ana semphan ahi.

And he built up the city all around, from Millo even to every side. But Joab built the rest of the city.

9 Hatchung nung Pakaiyin apan pi jih’in David thaneina chu ahung hatdoh cheh cheh jeng in ahi.

And David continued advancing and increasing, and the Lord of hosts was with him.

10 Amaho hi David galhang lamkai’a pang Israel mipi toh kitho khom a Pakaiyin ana kitep na banga David aleng diuva hin tungdoh ding ho chu ahiuve.

These are the leaders of the strong men of David, who assisted him, so that he would become king over all of Israel, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Israel.

11 David gal-hang lamkai minthang ho chu hiche ho hi ahiuve. Amasapen chu ahile Jashobeam kitipa Hachmon mi David gal hat mi thumho lah’a lamkai ahi. Amapa hin achemjam mangcha in akidoupi galmi mi jathum chu khatvei in ana that jou in ahi.

And this is the number of the robust of David: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, leader among the thirty. He lifted up his spear over three hundred, who were wounded at one time.

12 Anina pen chu ahileh Ahoah son chilhah Dodai chapa Eleazar ahi.

And after him, there was Eleazar, the son of his uncle, an Ahohite, who was among the three powerful ones.

13 Amapa hi Pas-dam'mim a Philistine te ana kisat lai’u chun galmun’a hi David toh ana kitho khom lhon ahi. Chule hiche galmun hi sakol chang dimset ana ke khah jeh chun Israel mite chu anajam tauve.

He was with David in Pasdammim, when the Philistines were gathered to that place for battle. Now the field of that region was full of barley, but the people had fled from the face of the Philistines.

14 Ahivang in Eleazar le David hi galmun’a kon nung chon louvin Philistine mite chu anasat lhon in ahi. Chule Pakaiyin amani ana huhdoh in minthang tah in galjona sangtah jong ana chang lhon e.

These men stood in the midst of the field, and they defended it. And when they had struck down the Philistines, the Lord gave a great salvation to his people.

15 Sepai lamkai minthang somthum lah a thum hochu David Adulam songkoa anaum lai chun Raphiam phaicham a Philistine sepai ho toh ana kimu touvin ahi.

Then three from the thirty leaders descended to the rock where David was, to the cave of Adullam, when the Philistines had made camp in the Valley of the Rephaim.

16 David hi chuche phatlai chun akulpi sunga ana um'in ahi. Chule Philistine miten Bethlehem khopi anatou phaovin ahi.

Now David was in a stronghold, and a garrison of the Philistines was in Bethlehem.

17 David in amite jah’a chun hitin aseije, Ohe koitabang eingailu toukhat aum a hiche Bethlehem kelkot phunga twitheng khu eigathal peh thei hile tin aseije.

And then David desired and said, “O if only someone would give me water from the well of Bethlehem, which is at the gate!”

18 Hichun galhat lamkai thumho chun Philistine bang chu apal keh un, Bethlehem kulpia um twi chu David don ding in ahinle choi pih uve. Ahivang in David in hiche twi chu don louvin Pakai a ding joh in ana kat doh in ahi.

Therefore, these three broke through to the midst of the camp of the Philistines, and they drew water from the well of Bethlehem, which was at the gate. And they took it to David, so that he might drink. But he was not willing; and instead, he offered it as a libation to the Lord,

19 Pathen in hiche twi hi kadon lou ding ahi. Ajeh chu hiche twi hi ahinkho phal ngam’a twi thal a che ho thisan mantam tah toh kibang ahi tin aseijin, David in twi chu anadon pon ahi. Hichu galhang mithum ho natoh lolhin na vetsahna ahi.

saying: “Far be it from me, that I would do this in the sight of my God, and that I would drink the blood of these men. For at the peril of their own lives, they brought the water to me.” And for this reason, he was not willing to drink. The three most powerful accomplished these things.

20 Abi'shai hi Joab sopipa lamkai somthum ho lah a pang ahi. Amapa hin achem jam keoseh mangchan akidoupi agalmi mi jathum jen chu ana that jouvin ahi. Hichea kon chun galhat mithum ho bang in ahung minthang tan ahi.

Also, Abishai, the brother of Joab, was the leader of the three, and he lifted up his spear against three hundred, who were wounded. And he was most renowned among the three,

21 Abi'shai hi galhat mithum ho lah a apan jou lou vang'in mi somthum ho lah a hin lamkai minthang tah khat ahi.

and he was famous among the second three and their leader. Yet truly, he did not reach as far as the first three.

22 Jehoiada chapa Benaiah kiti galhang tah Kabzeel kho a kon mi khat jong ana um e, Amapa hin mihat tah ho natoh jong aboldoh in ahi hiche lah’a chu Moab mite galhang mini jong ana that in; chule buhbang lhah lai ni jingkah in jong Keipi bahkai khat jong ana that e.

Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, from Kabzeel, was a very mature man, who had accomplished many deeds. He struck down the two lions of God from Moab. And he descended and killed a lion in the middle of a pit, in the time of snow.

23 Aman achang seh in khetbuh mai mangchan Egypt galhang milentah asan dan feet sagi le akeh khat’a sang tengcha lentah kichoija galvon lhingset’a kivon pachu ana that in ahi. Benneah in Egypt mipa tengcha chu alah peh in, ama thanan anei e.

And he struck down an Egyptian man, whose stature was five cubits, and who had a spear like a weaver’s beam. And yet he descended to him with a staff. And he seized the spear that he was holding in his hand. And he killed him with his own spear.

24 Hitobang thil nasatah ahinbol doh’a kon hin mi minthang galhang thumho bang in ahung loupi doh e.

These things were done by Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who was most renowned among the three robust ones,

25 Hiti chun amahi mi thumho lah a apan lou vang'in somthum ho sang in, jana sangtah ana chang in chule David in ama vengtup a lamkai din apan sah tan ahi.

the first among the thirty. Yet truly, he did not reach as far as the three. Then David placed him beside his ear.
