1 Setouknae 19
1 Hathnukkhu, hettelah ao. Ammonnaw e siangpahrang Nahash a due hoi a capa ni a yueng lah a bawi.
And it came to pass after this that Nahash king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.
2 Devit ni Nahash e capa Hanun koevah, pahrennae kamnue sak han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a na pa ni kai koe pahrennae a kamnue sak toe telah ati. Hatdawkvah, Devit ni a na pa e kong dawk lungpahawi hanelah, patounenaw a patoun teh. Ahni lungpahawi hanelah, Devit e a sannaw teh Ammon catounnaw e ram Hanun koe a pha awh.
And David said, I will shew kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shewed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
3 Hateiteh, Ammonnaw kahrawikung Hanun koevah, Devit ni nang lungpahawi hanelah a patoun e taminaw heh na pa barinae a poe katang dawk doeh, telah na pouk maw. A sannaw teh ram tuet hane hoi raphoe hane ngai dawk doeh a tho awh e nahoehmaw, telah ati awh.
And the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Is it, in thine eyes, to honour thy father that David has sent comforters to thee? Is it not to search and overthrow, and to spy out the land that his servants are come to thee?
4 Hatdawkvah, Hanun ni Devit e sannaw hah a man teh, a pâkhamuen koung a ngaw pouh teh a khohna hah a laheibaw koe totouh a a pouh teh a ban sak.
And Hanun took David's servants, and had them shaved, and their raiment cut off in the midst, as far as the hip, and sent them away.
5 A patoun e a sannaw kong hah Devit koe tami buet touh ni a dei pouh teh, hotnaw hah puenghoi yeirai a po sak dawkvah, ahnimanaw kâhmo hanelah laiceinaw a patoun. Siangpahrang ni, na pâkhamuen a sai hoehroukrak Jeriko kho dawk awm awh ei, pâkhamuen a sai torei ban awh telah atipouh.
And [certain] went and told David concerning the men; and he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Abide at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
6 Ammonnaw ni, Devit ni a hmuhma e sak awh toe tie a panue awh toteh, Hanun hoi Ammonnaw ni Mesoptamianaw hoi Sirianaw Maakah hoi Zobahnaw koe leng hoi marangransanaw hlai nahanlah ngun tangka talen 1, 000 a patawn awh.
And the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David; and Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and from the Syrians of Maacah, and from Zobah.
7 Hottelah leng 32, 000 Maakah siangpahrang hoi a taminaw hoi a hlai awh teh, Madeba kho e a hmalah a tungpup awh. Ammonnaw teh a kho tangkuem hoi a tâco awh teh, tuk hanelah a cei awh.
And they hired thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people; and they came and encamped before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered together from their cities, and came to battle.
8 Devit ni hote kamthang a thai torei teh, Joab hoi athakaawme ransahu pueng hah a patoun.
And David heard [of it], and he sent Joab, and all the host, the mighty men.
9 Ammonnaw a tâco awh teh, khopui longkha teng vah, tuk hanlah a kamkhueng awh. Kabawm hane siangpahrangnaw teh kahrawng dawk alouklouk lah ao awh.
And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the city; and the kings that had come were by themselves on the field.
10 Hottelah hmalah hoi hnuk lahoi, tuk hanelah kaawm e hah Joab ni a panue torei teh, Isarelnaw thung dawk kahawipoung e a rawi teh, Sirianaw tuk hanlah a cei awh.
And Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind; and he chose out of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians;
11 Alouke taminaw pueng teh a hmaunawngha Abishai kut dawk a poe teh Ammonnaw tuk hanelah a cei van awh.
and the rest of the people he gave into the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
12 Joab ni, Sirianaw hah ka tâ thai mahoeh na tetpawiteh, na kabawp awh han. Hahoi Ammonnaw hah na tâ thai mahoeh pawiteh, na kabawp awh han.
And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me; and if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
13 Tarankahawi lah awm awh nateh, maimae taminaw hoi mamae Cathut, khopuinaw hanelah tongpatang lah awm awh sei. BAWIPA ni ahawi tie patetlah sak yawkaw seh ati awh.
Be strong, and let us shew ourselves valiant for our people, and for the cities of our God; and Jehovah will do what is good in his sight.
14 Hottelah Joab hoi ama koe kaawm e naw ni, tarantuk hane Sirianaw koe rek a hnai awh teh, a hmaitung koung a yawng awh.
And Joab and the people that were with him drew near in front of the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.
15 Ammonnaw ni Sirianaw koung a yawng awh tie hah a panue torei teh, ahnimouh hai a hmaunawngha Abishai e hmalah a yawng awh teh, kho thung a kâen awh. Hatdawkvah, Joab teh Jerusalem vah a ban.
And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. And Joab came to Jerusalem.
16 Sirianaw ni Isarelnaw e a hmalah kangdue e hmuen hawihoeh tie a panue torei teh, patounenaw a patoun awh teh, palang namran kaawm e Sirianaw hah a kaw awh. Hadadezer ransabawi Shophate ni hai ahnimouh a uk.
And when the Syrians saw that they were routed before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river; and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer [went] before them.
17 Hote kong teh Devit koe a dei pouh awh. Ahni ni Isarelnaw pueng a kaw teh, Jordan namran vah a cei awh teh, Sirianaw hah a tuk awh.
And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over the Jordan, and came upon them, and set [the battle] in array against them. And David put the battle in array against the Syrians, and they fought with him.
18 Sirianaw teh, Isarelnaw e a hmalah, a yawng awh teh, Devit ni Sirianaw e leng 7, 000 touh dawk kâcui e naw hoi ransa 40, 000 touh a thei teh ransabawi Shophate hai a thei.
And the Syrians fled from before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand [in] chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and slew Shophach the captain of the host.
19 Hatdawkvah, Hadadezernaw ni Isarelnaw e a hmalah kangdout thai hoeh toe tie a panue torei teh, Devit koevah roumnae a sak awh teh, tamuk ka cawng e kho lah ao awh. Hatdawkvah, Sirianaw ni Ammonnaw teh kabawp han ngai awh hoeh toe.
And the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were routed before Israel, and they made peace with David, and became his servants. And the Syrians would no more help the children of Ammon.
