1 Thusimbu 19

1 Phat chomkhat jou a Ammon mite Lengpa Nahash ahung thi chun achapa Hanun chu leng in ahung pang tai.

Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.

2 David in, “Keiman Hanun chung a hi kakitah na kapoh doh ding ahi, ajeh chu apa Nahash hi keima chung a akitah jing in ahi,” tin asei e. Hiti chun David in Hanun pa thina jeh a lunghem na akon lungmon sah nading in asottol le ho asol in ahivang in David sottolle ho Ammon gam ahung lhun phat in,

And David said, I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.

3 Ammon mite lamkai pa chun Hanun kom ah chun, “Nangman hiche mipite hohi napa jabolna jal'a hung a nagel mong ham? Hichu hilou a David in amaho hi agam umdan ho vetoh le a chujouteng le hung kon uva agamsung mite jouse hi nokhum ding lung agot joh ahi,” tin asei e.

But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honor thy father, that he hath sent comforters to thee? are not his servants come to thee to search, and to overthrow, and to explore the land?

4 Chuin Hanun in David sottolle ho chu aman in asam u avo peh un chule aponsil hou jong akongjang atobuh dung uva achetan peh in abon chaovin David heng a anung sol tauve.

Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst hard by their buttocks, and sent them away.

5 David in amite chunga hitobng thilsoh umchan le asottolle ho ajachat naho thu ajah jeh chun Jericho khopi ah chun akhamul u ahung khandoh kah uva tham den uva chujouteng hung kile ding in asei e.

Then there went [certain], and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards are grown, and [then] return.

6 Ammon mite chun, David lungdou na athilbol u ahetdoh phat u chun Hanun le Ammon mite chun Zoab le Aramaacah chule Ram-naharaim gam a kon sakol touthem sepai le kangtalai tampi thalah nadin dangka talent sangsom sagi le sang nga jen ana thot in ahi.

And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria-maachah, and out of Zobah.

7 Chujongle amahon kangtalai sang somthum le ni jong athalah uvin, Maacah le asepai te jong ana kitho piu ve. Chule hiche sepai ho chu Medaba mun a Hanun in amakhopi tah a anapan sah sepai ho toh chun ana umkhom uvin ahi.

So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people, who came and encamped before Medeba. And the children of Ammon assembled from their cities, and came to battle.

8 David in hichu ajah phat in Joab le asepai gal hang ho chu ama kisat pi din ana sol pai in ahi.

And when David heard [of it], he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.

9 Hichun Ammon mite jong ahung kon doh un khopi kelkot phung ah chun galsat ding in ahung kigol doh tauve, chule galsat dia hung kon leng ho jong chun ama hinathei cheh in galsat dia kigot na panmun akisem uvin ahi.

And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that had come [were] by themselves in the field.

10 Joab in amelmaten anung ama a ahin nokhum amu doh phat in Israel te sepai hatlai ho chu Aramean sepai te kisat pi ding in alhengdoh in ahi.

Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he selected all the choice of Israel, and put [them] in array against the Syrians.

11 Chule aman sepai dang adalhah chengse chu asopipa Abishai lamkai nanoi a Ammon mite kisat pi ding in apan sah e.

And the rest of the people he delivered to the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set [themselves] in array against the children of Ammon.

12 Joab in asopipa jah a chun, “Aramean mite chu kahin jolal le neihung kithopi ding chule nang in jong Ammon mite nanjolal le kahung kithopi ding nahi,” ati.

And he said, If the Syrians shall be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon shall be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.

13 Hat unlang hangsan tahin pang un e Pathen khopi ule emiteu va ding in gal isat diu ahi. Pakai in ama deilam in hinbol jeng tahen.

Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do [that which is] good in his sight.

14 Joab le asepaiten Aramean mite àsat un anadel jam tauve.

So Joab and the people that [were] with him drew nigh before the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.

15 Chule Ammon miten Aramean mite jam amu doh phat u chun Abishai a kon in anajam un akhopiuva ana kile tauve.

And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.

16 Aramean miten Israel te ajolel u ahetdoh phat uchun Euphrates luipang le avel dung a kon in Aramean sepaite akoukhom in amaho chu abon'un Hadadezer sepai jalamkai pa thunoi in ana um sah uvin ahi.

And when the Syrians saw that they were defeated before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that [were] beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer [went] before them.

17 David in hitobng thilumchan ho ahet doh phat in jordan vadung vel dung a kon jousea Israel sepaite chu galsat din ana kou khom in Aramean mite toh ana kisat tauvin ahi.

And it was told to David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set [the battle] in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.

18 Chule Aramean mite chu Israel te a kon in anagal lel un, anajam kit tauvin ahi. Hichea chun David sepai ten Aramean sepai lamkai pipu Shobah pum in sepai kangtalai tol mi sang sagi le kenglam sepai mi sang somli jen ana that uvin ahi.

But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand [men who fought in] chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.

19 Hadadezer thunoi a leng umhon jong Israelten gal ajo amudoh phat uvin, David angsung a akipelut uvin ama thunoi in aum tauve, chule Aramean miten aitih a jong Ammon mite akitho pi kit diu anom tapouve.

And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.
