< 2 Samuel 10 >
1 Hiche jouphat chomkhat jouvin, Ammon mite lengpa Nahash chu athitan, hijeh chun achapa Hanun kitipan Ammon mite chungah lengvai ahinpo tan ahi.
It came about later that the king of the people of Ammon died, and that Hanun his son became king in his place.
2 Hichun David’in jong aseiyin, “Nahash chapa Hanun hi apan keima jana neitah a eina bol bang banga ken jong amahi jana neitah a kabol ding ahi,” tin anaseiye. Hijeh chun David’in jong sottolle ho asol’in Hanun chu apa thi jeh a lhem mong din asol peh e. ahin David sottolle ho chu Ammon mite gamsunga aga lhun phat un,
David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent his servants to comfort Hanun concerning his father. His servants entered the land of the people of Ammon.
3 Ammon mite lamkai hon apupau Hanun koma chun aseiyuvin, ‘Nangman nagelthei mong hinam hiche mihohi napa jabol dinga hichemun hung ahi tia? Ahipoi! David’in khopi hi hunga suhgam ding agot jeh a sottolle hohi khopi sung kholtoh leh velhi le dinga ahinsol ahibouve tin aseipeh tauve.
But the leaders of the people of Ammon said to Hanun their master, “Do you really think that David is honoring your father because he has sent men to comfort you? Has not David sent his servants to you to look at the city, to spy it out, in order to overthrow it?”
4 Hijeh chun Hanun hin David sottolle ho chu abonchauvin aman in melse tah in akhamul akeh langkhat avo chaipeh soh keiyin, chule aponsilu le akivon nau akimlai tah akongbuh dontah achetan peh soh keijun jachat umtah in anungsol taovin ahi.
So Hanun took David's servants, shaved off half their beards, cut off their garments up to their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 Hiti chun David sohte chunga thusoh ho David in ajahdoh phat in, amiteho thu gaseipih din mi asol tan ahi “Nakhamul’u akikhan lhit kit masang sen Jericho khopia hung umden unlang akikhan lhit tengle hung kile kit tauvin,” tin thu ahiltai. Ajeh chu amahohin alimsou chu ajachatpi mong mong u ahi.
When they explained this to David, he sent to meet with them, for the men were deeply ashamed. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown back, and then return.”
6 Chujouvin Ammon miten echangeija David chu asuh lunghang u akihet doh phat’uvin, Ammon mite akihou toh-uvin Bethrehob a cheng Syria mite leh Zobah a cheng Syria mite tol'a panga galsat sepai sang som ni thalah dingle, Maacah lengpa le amite sang khat thalah ding chule Tob mite sang som le sang ni thalah dingin mi asol tauve.
When the people of Ammon saw that they had become a stench to David, the people of Ammon sent messengers and hired the Arameans of Beth Rehob and Zobah, twenty thousand foot soldiers, and the king of Maacah with a thousand men, and the men of Tob with twelve thousand men.
7 Hiche thusoh David lengpan ajah doh phat’in lamkai Joab le asepaite mihat chengse chu abonchauvin gal boldin asoltai.
When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of soldiers.
8 Chuin Ammon mite chu ahung kitoldoh’uvin kelkot phunga chun galsat din akigol tauve; chule Arameans mite Zobah le Rehob khoa kon leh Tob le Maacah mite chu mun onglen laiah akigol taovin ahi.
The Ammonites came out and formed a line of battle at the entrance to their city gate, while the Arameans of Zobah and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah, stood by themselves in the open fields.
9 Joab chun amasanglam le anunglama gal miten ating tan to tai, ti amudoh phat’in, Israel lah a mi son um lhentum cheh phabep alhengdoh in, Arameans mite dou din mun onglai ah apansah tai.
When Joab saw the battle lines facing him both in front and behind, he chose some of Israel's best fighters and arranged them against the Arameans.
10 Chule mi amoh chengse chu asopipa Abishai lamkai peh din akoiyin, Abishaiyin asopite chengse chu Ammon mite toh kisat to din agol toh tai.
The rest of his people he put into the hand of Abishai his brother, and he set them out in position to fight against the army of Ammon.
11 Chuin Joab’in aseitai, “Arameans mite hi Keima dinga ahat behseh jenguva ahileh nangman neihung kithopin lang, chule Ammon mite chu nang dinga ahatval behseh jenguva ahijongle keima hung ing ting nahung kithopi nange, ati.
Joab said, “If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you, Abishai, must rescue me. But if the army of Ammon is too strong for you, then I will come and rescue you.
12 Hijeh chun hangtah in hung pang uvin lang, imiteu ding leh i-Pathen’u khopi jouse din pasal jouse chu hatah in pangu hitin; chule Pakaiyin lungdei chu guilhung tahen,”ati.
Be strong, and let us show ourselves to be strong for our people and for the cities of our God, for Yahweh will do what is good for his purpose.”
13 Hiti hin Joab le ama toh pang khom sepaiho chun Arameans mite chu asat pan un ahileh; Arameans mite chu ajamcheh gam tauvin ahi.
So Joab and the soldiers of his army advanced to the battle against the Arameans, who were forced to flee before the army of Israel.
14 Arameans mite jam chu Ammon miten jong amudoh phat’uvin amaho jong chutobangma chun Abishai masanga ajam uvin akhopi sunga alhailut tauvin ahi. Hichun Ammon mite toh akisat nao vakon in Jo’ab jong Jerusalema ahung kile kit tan ahi.
When the army of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they also fled from Abishai and went back into the city. Then Joab returned from the people of Ammon and went back to Jerusalem.
15 Hichun Arameans miten Israel chate toh kidinte joulou ding ahiu chu ahin kihetdoh phat un ahung kithah gopkhom kit uvin,
When the Arameans saw that they were being defeated by Israel, they gathered themselves together again.
16 Hadadezer kitipan asol in Euphrates luipi gal a cheng Arameans mite aga kousah in ahileh, amaho jong Hadadezer sepai lamkaipa Shobach lamkai nan Helam geiyin ahung kitol’uvin Arameans mite ahinjop kit un ahi.
Then Hadarezer sent for Aramean troops from beyond the Euphrates River. They came to Helam, and Shobak, the commander of Hadarezer's army, went before them.
17 Chuin David in hitabang thil umchan chu ajah phat in, aman jong Israel chate pumpi akhom khom soh keiyin chule Jordan ahung galkaiyin Helam channah a sepai te ahin puilhung tan ahi. Hichun Arameans mite jong David lengpa dou din achamtah un anapang uvin akisatpi tauve.
When David was told this, he gathered all Israel together, crossed the Jordan, and arrived at Helam. The Arameans arranged themselves in battle lines against David and fought him.
18 Ahinlah Arameans mite chu Israel te masanga ajam kit tauvin ahi. hichea hin David sepai ten Arameans sepai sakol them ho mi jasagi le tol'a pang sepai sangsomli chule agal lamkaipau Shobach kitipa jaonan athat taovin ahi.
The Arameans fled from Israel, and David killed seven hundred of their men in chariots and forty thousand horsemen. Shobak the commander of their army was wounded and died there.
19 Chuin Lengte jousen Hadadezer toh akitho vang uva Israel te ajolou u amudoh phat un, Israel mite khut ah akipelut un amaho noijah aum taovin ahi. hichejou a pet chun Arameans mite chun Ammon mite kithopi ding chu akicha taovin ahi.
When all the kings who were servants of Hadarezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became their subjects. So the Arameans were afraid to help the people of Ammon anymore.
