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.

Now it happened that, after the course of a year, in the time when kings usually go forth to war, Joab gathered an army with experienced soldiers, and he laid waste to the land of the sons of Ammon. And he continued on and besieged Rabbah. But David was staying in Jerusalem when Joab struck Rabbah and destroyed 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 of Milcom from his head, and he found in it the weight of one talent of gold, and very precious gems. And he made for himself a diadem from it. Also, he took the best spoils of the city, which were very many.

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.

Then he led away the people who were in it. And he caused plows, and sleds, and iron chariots to go over them, so much so that they were cut apart and crushed. So did David treat all the cities of the sons of Ammon. And he returned with all his people 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.

After these things, a war was begun at Gezer against the Philistines, in which Sibbecai the Hushathite struck Sippai from the race of the Rephaim, and he humbled them.

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.

Also, another war was undertaken against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus, a son of the forest, a Bethlehemite, struck the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the wood 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.

Then too, another war occurred in Gath, in which there was a very tall man, having six digits, that is, all together twenty-four. This man too was born from the stock of the Rephaim.

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

He blasphemed Israel. And Jonathan, the son of Shimea, the brother of David, struck him down.

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

These were the sons of the Rephaim in Gath, who fell by the hand of David and his servants.
