< 1 Setouknae 11 >
1 Isarelnaw pueng teh Hebron kho koe a tho awh. Khenhaw! kaimanaw teh na hru hoi na tak lah ka o awh.
Then all Israel came together to David at Hebron and said, “Here we are, your own flesh and blood.
2 Hnuk lae atueng dawk Sawl a bawi nah haiyah, Isarelnaw ka tâcawtkhai e hoi kâenkhai e lah na o. BAWIPA Cathut ni nang koevah, ka tami Isarel tukhoumkung lah na o vaiteh, kahrawikung lah na o han ati telah atipouh awh.
Even in times past, while Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them back. And the LORD your God said, ‘You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be ruler over them.’”
3 Hatdawkvah, Isarel kacuenaw pueng teh Hebron kho siangpahrang koe a tho awh teh, Devit ni Hebron kho BAWIPA e hmalah, ahnimouh hoi lawkkamnae a sak. Samuel hno lahoi BAWIPA e lawk patetlah Isarel siangpahrang hanelah Devit teh satui a awi awh.
So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, where David made a covenant with them before the LORD. And they anointed him king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD through Samuel.
4 Devit hoi Isarelnaw pueng teh Jubusitnaw khosaknae Jerusalem lah a cei awh. Jerusalem teh Jebusitnaw khosaknae doeh.
Then David and all the Israelites marched to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus), where the Jebusites inhabited the land.
5 Jebusit kho kaawmnaw ni Devit hi vah khoeroe kâen hanh, telah atipouh awh. Hateiteh, Devit ni Zion rapanim a lawp pouh teh Devit khopui tie lah ao.
The people of Jebus said to David, “You will never get in here.” Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion (that is, the City of David).
6 Devit ni Jubusitnaw hmaloe ka tuk e teh, ransabawi hoi kahrawikung lah ao han telah ati. Hatdawkvah, Zeruiah capa Joab teh hmaloe poung lah a cei teh kahrawikung kacue lah a sak.
Now David had said, “Whoever is the first to strike down a Jebusite will become chief commander.” And Joab son of Zeruiah went up first, and he became the chief.
7 Devit teh rapanim thung lah kho a sak dawkvah, Devit khopui ati awh.
So David took up residence in the fortress; that is why it was called the City of David.
8 Millo e hmuen koehoi khopui petkâkalup lah rapan teh a kangdue. Joab ni khopui pueng hah a pathoup.
He built up the city around it, from the supporting terraces to the surrounding wall, while Joab restored the rest of the city.
9 Hatdawkvah, Devit teh hoehoe a len teh, ransahu BAWIPA ahni koevah ao.
And David became greater and greater, for the LORD of Hosts was with him.
10 Hetnaw teh Devit ni a tawn e thakaawme taminaw doeh. Isarelnaw pueng hoi ama hoi a uknaeram hanlah amamouh hoi amamouh tha a kâpoe awh teh, Isarel kong dawk BAWIPA e lawk patetlah siangpahrang o thai nahanelah kangdoutkhainaw doeh.
Now these were the chiefs of David’s mighty men, who, together with all Israel, bolstered and strengthened his kingdom, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.
11 Hetheh Devit ni a tawn e tami athakaawme taminaw doeh. Hakmonite tami e capa Jashobeam, tami 30 touh e hu kahrawikung, tahroe a patuep teh vai touh hoi tami 3,00 ka thet e doeh.
This is the list of David’s mighty men: Jashobeam son of Hachmoni was chief of the officers; he wielded his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed at one time.
12 Ahni hnukkhu hoi Aho tami Dodo e capa Eleazar tami athakaawme taminaw 3 touh dawkvah, buet touh lah ao.
Next in command was Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men.
13 Ahni teh Pasdammim e hmuen Devit koevah ao. Hawvah Filistinnaw teh, tarantuk hanelah a kamkhueng awh teh, hawvah catun hoi kakawi e tanghling ao. Taminaw pueng teh Filistinnaw e hmalah a yawng awh.
He was with David at Pas-dammim when the Philistines gathered there for battle. At the place with a field full of barley, the troops fled from the Philistines.
14 Hatei, ahnimouh teh, law lungui hmuen a la teh Filistinnaw a thei awh. Hottelah BAWIPA ni kalentoenaw, tânae a kamnue sak.
But Eleazar and David stationed themselves in the middle of the field and defended it. They struck down the Philistines, and the LORD brought about a great victory.
15 Ransa 30 touh thung dawk e tami a thakasai e tami 3 touh teh Adullam lungngoum, Devit onae lungsong koe a cathuk awh.
Three of the thirty chief men went down to David, to the rock at the cave of Adullam, while a company of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.
16 Hatdawkvah, Devit teh rapanim thungup ao. Filistin ransanaw teh Bethlehem vah ao awh.
At that time David was in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was at Bethlehem.
17 Devit ni a rabuipoung teh, Bethlehem tuikhu dawk e tui, rapan longkha teng e hah ka nei hanelah na ka poe thai e awm pawiteh, ka ngaipoung eite telah a ti.
David longed for water and said, “Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!”
18 Ransa kathum touh ni Filistin ransanaw a roenae hah pat a rakan awh teh, rapan longkha teng e Bethlehem tuikhu dawk e tui hah a do awh teh, Devit koevah a thokhai awh. Hateiteh, Devit ni net ngai hoeh. BAWIPA hanelah a rabawk.
So the Three broke through the Philistine camp, drew water from the well at the gate of Bethlehem, and brought it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured it out to the LORD,
19 Ahni ni, Oe BAWIPA hethateh khoeroe ka net mahoeh. Athakaawme taminaw kathum touh ni a sak e hno doeh.
saying, “Far be it from me, my God, to do this! How can I drink the blood of these men who risked their lives?” Because they had brought it at the risk of their lives, David refused to drink it. Such were the exploits of the three mighty men.
20 Joab e a nawngha Abishai teh, kathum touh thung dawk e kacue lah ao. Tami 300 touh hah tahroe hoi a thei dawkvah, tami kathum touh thung dawk e a min kamthang e lah ao.
Now Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the Three, and he lifted his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and won a name along with the Three.
21 Tami kathum touh thung dawk ahni teh kahni touh hlak oup hanelah ao. Hatdawkvah kacuepoung lah ao. Hateiteh, hmaloe e kathum touh dawkvah bawk hoeh.
He was doubly honored above the Three, and he became their commander, even though he was not included among the Three.
22 Jehoiada e capa Benaiah teh, Kabzeel kho e tami thakaawme capa hno moikapap ka sak e lah ao. Ahni ni sendek patetlah athakaawme Moab tami tarankahawi e kahni touh a thei. Hahoi bout a cei teh, tadamtui a bo nah a khu dawk kaawm e sendek buet touh bout a thei.
And Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a man of valor from Kabzeel, a man of many exploits. He struck down two champions of Moab, and on a snowy day he went down into a pit and killed a lion.
23 Ka rasang katang e Izip tami dong 5 touh e hah a thei. Izip tami e kut dawk hni kawng kalawng tittouh e tahroe hah a patuep. Benaiah sonron hoi a yawng sin teh, Izip tami e kut dawk e tahroe hah a lawp teh hote tahroe hoi letlang a thei.
He also killed an Egyptian, a huge man five cubits tall. Although the Egyptian had a spear like a weaver’s beam in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club, snatched the spear from his hand, and killed the Egyptian with his own spear.
24 Hete hnonaw hah Jehoiada e capa Benaiah ni a sak e, tami a thakasai kathum touh dawkvah barinae a poe awh.
These were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who won a name alongside the three mighty men.
25 Tami 30 touh hlakvah bari kamcu lah ao katang. Hateiteh, hmaloe kathum touh koe bawk thai hoeh. Hahoi Devit ni ama karingkungnaw thung dawk kacuelah a ta.
He was most honored among the Thirty, but he did not become one of the Three. And David appointed him over his guard.
