1 Setouknae 14
1 Taire siangpahrang Hiram ni, Devit koevah patounenaw a patoun. Ahni hane im sak pouh hanelah, Sidar thing hoi talungdêikathoum e, hoi im sak ka thoum e naw hah a patoun.
Then Hiram, king of Tyre, sent messengers to David along with cedar timber, stonemasons, and carpenters to build him a palace.
2 Isarelnaw dawk siangpahrang lah BAWIPA ni a caksak tie hah Devit ni a kâpanue. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarelnaw kecu dawkvah, a uknaeram hah ka rasang poung lah tawmrasang e lah ao.
In this way David realized that the Lord had placed him on the throne as king of Israel and had blessed by supporting his kingdom for the sake of the Lord's people Israel.
3 Devit ni Jerusalem vah a yu alouknaw hai a la teh, ca napui tongpa moi a sak.
David married more wives in Jerusalem, and had more sons and daughters.
4 Jerusalem vah a sak e a canaw teh Shammua, Shobab, Nathan hoi Solomon.
This is a list of the names of the children he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
5 Ibhar, Elishua hoi Eliphelet.
Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
6 Nogah, Nepheg hoi Japhia.
Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
7 Elishama, Beeliada hoi Eliphelet.
Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8 Filistinnaw ni Devit teh Isarelnaw e siangpahrang lah satui awi lah ao toe tie a thai awh torei teh, Filistinnaw pueng ni Devit tawng hanelah a cei awh. Devit ni a thai toteh, ahnimouh tuk hanelah a kamthaw.
When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all of Israel, they gathered their whole army to go after him. But David heard they were coming and went out to confront them.
9 Filistinnaw hah Rephaim tanghling dawk a yawng awh.
The Philistines arrived and raided the valley of Rephaim.
10 Devit ni Filistinnaw tuk hanelah ka cei han maw, ka kut dawk na poe han maw, telah BAWIPA a pacei. BAWIPA ni cet leih, ahnimouh teh na kut dawk na poe han telah atipouh.
David consulted God, asking “Shall I go and attack the Philistines? Will you make me victorious over them?” “Go ahead,” the Lord told him, “I will make you victorious over them.”
11 Hatdawkvah, Baalperazim vah a cei awh teh, Devit ni ahnimouh teh a tuk teh a tâ awh. BAWIPA ni ka tarannaw teh tuicapa ka thaw e a roum sak e patetlah be a raphoe telah ati. Hatdawkvah, hote hmuen teh Baalperazim telah min a phung.
So David attacked and defeated them there at Baal-perazim. “God used me to defeat my enemies like a torrent of water that bursts out,” he declared. That's why the place was named Baal-perazim.
12 Hete hmuen koe meikaphawknaw hah a cettakhai awh. Devit ni kâ a poe teh, hmai koung koung a sawi pouh awh.
The Philistines had left their gods behind, so David gave orders that they should be burned.
13 Filistinnaw teh tanghling dawk bout a yawng awh.
However, the Philistines returned and made another raid on the valley.
14 Hahoi Devit ni Cathut koe bout a pacei teh, ahnimanaw pâlei hanelah cet hanh. Kingkalup awh nateh, batuekung koe pawm awh.
David consulted God again. “Don't make a frontal attack,” God told him. “Instead go around behind them and attack them in front of the balsam trees.
15 Hahoi hettelah ao han. Batuekung e a van a cei awh e a pâlawk na thai awh toteh, tuk hanelah na tâco awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Filistinnaw roenae tuk hane na hmalah Cathut a tho tie hah na panue han atipouh.
As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, go and attack for the Lord has gone before you to strike down the Philistine army.”
16 Cathut ni kâ a poe e patetlah Devit ni a sak teh, Filistin e ransanaw hah, Gibeon hoi Gezer totouh a pâlei awh.
So David did what God told him, striking down the Philistine army all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.
17 Hottelah ram pueng dawk Devit e min a kamthang teh, BAWIPA ni ama takinae hah miphun tangkuem koe a kamthang sak
As a result David's reputation was spread everywhere, and the Lord made all the nations afraid of David.
