2 Samuel 10
1 Hathnukkhu, Ammon siangpahrang teh a due. A capa Hanun ni a na pa e yueng lah siangpahrang a tawk.
And it cometh to pass afterwards, that the king of the Bene-Ammon dieth, and Hanun his son reigneth in his stead,
2 Devit ni Hanun e a na pa Nahash teh kai koe ahawinae a sak dawkvah, pahrennae ka kamnue sak van han telah ati. A na pa a due nah lungpahawi hanelah a sannaw a patoun teh, Devit e sannaw teh Ammonnaw e ram koe a pha awh.
and David saith, 'I do kindness with Hanun son of Nahash, as his father did with me kindness;' and David sendeth to comfort him by the hand of his servants concerning his father, and the servants of David come in to the land of the Bene-Ammon.
3 Ammon miphun kacuenaw ni amamae a bawipa Hanun koevah, Devit ni na barilawa dawkvah, nang koe lungmawng nahanelah, tami a patoun e na yuem maw. Devit ni hete khopui a raphoe thai nahan ka tuet hanelah nang koe a patoun awh nahoehmaw telah atipouh awh.
And the heads of the Bene-Ammon say unto Hanun their lord, 'Is David honouring thy father in thine eyes because he hath sent to thee comforters? for to search the city, and to spy it, and to overthrow it, hath not David sent his servants unto thee?'
4 Hanun ni Devit e a sannaw a man teh, a pâkhamuen tangawn a ngaw pouh. A khohna hai a laheibaw totouh a a pouh hnukkhu a cei sak.
And Hanun taketh the servants of David, and shaveth off the half of their beard, and cutteth off their long robes in the midst — unto their buttocks, and sendeth them away;
5 Hote kamthang hah Devit ni a thai toteh, ahnimanaw teh a kaya poung dawkvah, ahnimanaw dawn sak hanelah a patoun teh, nangmouh teh pâkhamuen a saw hoehroukrak Jeriko kho dawkvah awm awh. Hahoi torei bout tho awh telah atipouh.
and they declare [it] to David, and he sendeth to meet them, for the men have been greatly ashamed, and the king saith, 'Abide in Jericho till your beard doth spring up — then ye have returned.'
6 Ammonnaw ni vah, maimouh teh Devit e hmaitung panuettho e lah o awh han tie a panue awh teh, taminaw a patoun awh teh, Bethrekhob kho hoi Aramzobah kho e Siria ransa 20,000, hoi siangpahrang Maakah e tami 1,000, hoi Tob ram e tami 12,000 touh hah a hlai awh.
And the Bene-Ammon see that they have been abhorred by David, and the Bene-Ammon send and hire Aram of Beth-Rehob, and Aram of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah [with] a thousand men, and Ish-Tob [with] twelve thousand men;
7 Devit ni hote kamthang a thai toteh, Joab hoi athakaawme ransanaw hah a patoun.
and David heareth, and sendeth Joab, and all the host — the mighty men.
8 Ammonnaw hah a tâco awh teh, kho longkha koe a tungpup awh. Aramzobah kho, Rehob, Tob kho hoi ka tho e Siria tami hoi Maakah siangpahrang e taminaw teh aloukcalah law vah ao awh.
And the Bene-Ammon come out, and set battle in array, at the opening of the gate, and Aram of Zoba, and Rehob, and Ish-Tob, and Maacah, [are] by themselves in the field;
9 A hnukhma lahoi tuk hane na kâcai awh tie Joab ni a thai navah, Isarelnaw thung dawk hoi kahawi kahawi e a rawi teh, Sirianaw tuk hanelah namranlah a tumpup awh.
and Joab seeth that the front of the battle hath been unto him before and behind, and he chooseth of all the chosen in Israel, and setteth in array to meet Aram,
10 Aloukenaw pueng hah a hmaunawngha Abisai kut dawk koung a hruek teh, Ammon tami tuk hanelah a tumpup sak awh.
and the rest of the people he hath given into the hand of Abishai his brother, and setteth in array to meet the Bene-Ammon.
11 Siria taminaw ni kai na tâ pawiteh, nangmouh ni na kabawp han. Ammonnaw ni nangmanaw na tâ pawiteh, kaimouh ni na kabawp han.
And he saith, 'If Aram be stronger than I, then thou hast been to me for salvation, and if the Bene-Ammon be stronger than thou, then I have come to give salvation to thee;
12 Tarankahawi lah awm awh. Ka taminaw hoi mamae Cathut khonaw hanelah thapatung awh nateh, tuk awh. BAWIPA ni a ngainae patetlah a sak han doeh atipouh.
be strong and strengthen thyself for our people, and for the cities of our God, and Jehovah doth that which is good in His eyes.'
13 Ama koe kaawm e taminaw hoi Siria taminaw tuk hanelah a pâtam awh teh, Sirianaw a yawng awh.
And Joab draweth nigh, and the people who [are] with him, to battle against Aram, and they flee from his presence;
14 Sirianaw a yawng awh e Ammonnaw ni a hmu awh navah, ahnimouh hai Abisai hmalah a yawng awh teh, kho thung vah a kâen awh. Joab hai Ammon ram hoi a tâco teh Jerusalem kho lah a cei.
and the Bene-Ammon have seen that Aram hath fled, and they flee from the presence of Abishai, and go in to the city; and Joab turneth back from the Bene-Ammon, and cometh in to Jerusalem.
15 Sirianaw ni Isarelnaw e a hmalah amamanaw a sung e a kâpanue awh navah bout a kamkhueng awh.
And Aram seeth that it is smitten before Israel, and they are gathered together;
16 Hadadezer ni tami a patoun teh, tui namran lah kaawm e Sirianaw a thokhai teh, Hadadezer ransa kacue e Shobak ni a hrawi awh teh, Helam kho lah a cei awh.
and Hadadezer sendeth, and bringeth out Aram which [is] beyond the River, and they come in to Helam, and Shobach head of the host of Hadadezer [is] before them.
17 Hote kong Devit koe a dei pouh. Isarelnaw pueng koung a pâkhueng teh, Jordan tui a raka awh teh, Helam kho a pha awh. Sirianaw ni Devit tuk hanelah a kampawp awh teh a tuk awh.
And it is declared to David, and he gathereth all Israel, and passeth over the Jordan, and cometh in to Helam, and Aram setteth itself in array to meet David, and they fight with him;
18 Sirianaw teh Isarelnaw e hmalah hoi a yawng awh. Devit ni Siria tami leng dawk kâcuinaw 700 hoi marangransanaw 40,000 touh a thei. Ransabawi Shobak hai a thei awh teh hawvah a due.
and Aram fleeth from the presence of Israel, and David slayeth of Aram seven hundred charioteers, and forty thousand horsemen, and Shobach head of its host he hath smitten, and he dieth there.
19 Hadadezer koe san ka toung e siangpahrangnaw pueng teh, Isarelnaw e hmaitung vah amamanaw a sung e a kâpanue awh navah, Isarelnaw hoi roumnae a sak awh teh, a thaw a tawk pouh awh. Hottelah Sirianaw ni Ammonnaw hah bout kabawm ngai awh hoeh toe.
And all the kings — servants of Hadadezer — see that they have been smitten before Israel, and make peace with Israel, and serve them; and Aram is afraid to help any more the Bene-Ammon.
