1 Thusimbu 20

1 Chuche kum chavang lai a lengpa galbol dia ahung chun Israel mite chun Job lamkai na noi in Ammon mite anasat uvin ahi. Hichun aman Rabbah khopi chu ana umkhom in ahi. Hinlah David chu Jerusalem ah chun ana umden in ahi.

In the spring, at the time when kings march out to war, Joab led out the army and ravaged the land of the Ammonites. He came to Rabbah and besieged it, but David remained in Jerusalem. And Joab attacked Rabbah and demolished it.

2 David Rabbah khopi ahung lhun in lengpa lallukhuh chu aladoh in aman akikhuh in ahi. Hiche lal lukhuh chu sana pah jem a kisem chule agih dan jong pound som sagi le nga ahi. David in jong thilman tampi khopia chun ahin kipoh in ahi.

Then David took the crown from the head of their king. It was found to weigh a talent of gold and was set with precious stones, and it was placed on David’s head. And David took a great amount of plunder from the city.

3 Aman Rabbah kho mite chu soh in ana mang in, amaho chu thingat, thih khenchi a leilai le heicha’a thing chan in anapan sah in, Ammon mite chu engbolna ana pen ahi. Chujouvin David le asepaite chu Jerusalem a anache tauve.

David brought out the people who were there and put them to work with saws, iron picks, and axes. And he did the same to all the Ammonite cities. Then David and all his troops returned to Jerusalem.

4 Chujouvin jong Israel te le Philistine techu Gazer mun a gal in ana kisat kit in ahi. Hiche akisat nau va hin, Hushah kho a Sebbecai jin milen galhat minthang ho chilhah a kon Saph kitipa ana that in chule Philistine ten gal analel tauvin ahi.

Some time later, war broke out with the Philistines at Gezer. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, a descendant of the Rephaim, and the Philistines were subdued.

5 Philistine te toh gal kisat na mun khat ma ana um kit in, hichea chun Elhanan chapa Jair chun Gath khoa kon Goliath sopipa Lahmi chu anathat in ahi. Chule Lahmi tenglum chu lentah ahi.

Once again there was a battle with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.

6 Philistine tetoh Gath khopia gal ana kisat namun uva jong chun milentah galhat mi khut jung gup le keng jung gup nei abon'a somni le li nei khat ana pang e, amahi gollui lai galhang minthang ho son chilhah a kon ahi.

And there was still another battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He too was descended from Rapha,

7 Chule aman Israel mite totnop nale noise tah a anabol jeh chun David sopipa Shimea chapa Jonathan in’a anathat tai.

and when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of David’s brother Shimei killed him.

8 David in anatha Philistine galhang mite hi Gath kho akon milui galhang ho son chilhah jeng anahiu ve.

So these descendants of Rapha in Gath fell at the hands of David and his servants.
