Then all Israel gathered together to David at Hebron, saying, "Look, 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.

In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. The LORD your God said to you, 'You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall rule over my people Israel.'"

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.

So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by 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.

David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.

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.

The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, "You shall not come in here." Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the City of David.

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.

David said, "Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain." Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.

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

David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it 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.

He built the city all around, from the Millo even around; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

David grew greater and greater; for 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.

Now these are the chief of the warriors whom David had, who gave him strong support in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.

He was with David at Pas Dammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where there was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before 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.

And he took his stand in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great victory.

And three of the Thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines were camped in the Valley of Rephaim.

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

And David had a craving and said, "Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate."

The Three broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but David would not drink of it, but poured it out 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.

and said, "My God forbid it me, that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy?" For they risked their lives to bring it. Therefore he would not drink it. The Three warriors did 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.

And Abishai, the brother of Joab, was leader of the Thirty. And he wielded his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name beside the Three.

He was the most illustrious of the Thirty, and he became their leader. However, he did not attain to the Three.

He killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature, seven feet five inches tall; and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and grabbed the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.
