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.

And it came to pass at the return of the year, at the [time of the] going forth of kings [to war], that Joab gathered the whole force of the army, and they ravaged the land of the children of Ammon; and he came and besieged Rabba. But David abode in Jerusalem. And Joab struck Rabba 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.

And David took the crown of Molchom their king off his head, and the weight of it was found [to be] a talent of gold, and on it were precious stones; and it was [placed] on the head of David: and he brought out the spoils of the city [which were] very great.

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.

And he brought out the people that were in it, and sawed them asunder with saws, and [cut them] with iron axes, and with harrows: and thus David did to all the children of Ammon. And David and all his people 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.

And it came to pass afterward that there was again war with the Philistines in Gazer: then Sobochai the Sosathite struck Saphut of the sons of the giants, and laid him low.

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.

And there [was] war again with the Philistines; and Eleanan the son of Jair struck Lachmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear [was] as a weavers' 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 again war in Geth, and there was a man of extraordinary size, and his fingers [and toes were] six on each hand and foot, four and twenty; and he was descended from the giants.

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

And he defied Israel, and Jonathan the son of Samaa the brother of David killed him.

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

These were born to Rapha in Geth; all four were giants, and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
