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 the 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: 'l will show kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.' So 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.
But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun: 'Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?'
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.
So Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their hips, 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.
Then there went certain persons, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said: 'Tarry 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 when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Aram-naharaim, and out of Aram-maacah, and out of 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.
So they hired them thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people; who came and encamped before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves 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 when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of 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 gate of the city; and the kings that were come were by themselves in 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.
Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Arameans.
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 committed into the hand of Abishai his brother, and they put 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 Arameans be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me; but 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 of good courage, and let us prove strong for our people, and for the cities of our God; and the LORD do that which seemeth Him good.'
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.
So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh unto the battle to meet the Arameans; 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 Arameans were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then 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 Arameans saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and brought out the Arameans that were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer at their head.
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 together, and passed over the Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Arameans, 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 Arameans fled before Israel; and David slew of the Arameans the men of seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed 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 when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and served him; neither would the Arameans help the children of Ammon any more.
