2 Samuel 5
1 Isarel miphunnaw Hebron kho Devit aonae koe a tho awh. Kaimanaw hah na hru hoi na thitak katang doeh.
Then all the tribes of Israel came to David in Hebron, saying: Behold we are thy bone and thy flesh.
2 Ayan vah kaimae lathueng Sawl siangpahrang lah ao navah, Isarelnaw katâcawtkhaikung hoi kâenkhaikung lah ao. BAWIPA ni ka tami Isarelnaw na paca han, na uk han telah nang koe ati telah a ti.
Moreover yesterday also and the day before, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that did lead out and bring in Israel: and the Lord said to thee: Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over Israel.
3 Hatdawkvah, Isarel kacuenaw Hebron kho siangpahrang koevah a tho awh. Devit siangpahrang ni Hebron vah BAWIPA e hmalah ahnimouh hoi lawkkamnae ka sak. Devit teh Isarelnaw e siangpahrang lah satui a awi awh.
The ancients also of Israel came to the king to Hebron, and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they anointed David to be king over Israel.
4 Devit ni uknae a kamtawng navah kum 30 a pha teh kum 40 touh a uk.
David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
5 Hebron kho dawk ao teh, Judahnaw kum 7 thapa 6 touh a uk. Jerusalem vah Isarel hoi Judahnaw kum 33 a uk.
In Hebron he reigned over Juda seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned three and thirty years over all Israel and Juda.
6 Siangpahrang ni a taminaw a kaw teh, hote ram dawk kho ka sak e Jebusit tami onae koe Jerusalem kho lah a cei awh. Ahnimanaw ni hete kho dawk na kâen awh mahoeh. Mitdawn hoi khokkhemnaw ni hai Devit teh hete kho thung kâen mahoeh, ahnimouh ni na ngang awh han telah ati awh.
And the king and all the men that were with him went to Jerusalem to the Jebusites the inhabitants of the land: and they said to David: Thou shalt not come in hither unless thou take away the blind and the lame that say: David shall not come in hither.
7 Hateiteh, Devit ni Devit khopui tie Zion rapanim a tuk teh a tâ.
But David took the castle of Sion, the same is the city of David.
8 Hote hnin dawk Devit ni, Devit hringnae ni a hmuhma e Jebusit tami mitdawn hoi khokkhem thei hanelah tui pat ka raka e ransa pueng teh ransabawinaw e lû lah ka o sak han, hatdawkvah mitdawn hoi khokkhemnaw teh im thung kâen mahoeh telah a ti.
For David had offered that day a reward to whosoever should strike the Jebusites and get up to the gutters of the tops of the houses, and take away the blind and the lame that hated the soul of David: therefore it is said in the proverb: The blind and the lame shall not come into the temple.
9 Devit teh rapanim dawk ao teh, Devit khopui telah min a phung. Millo hmuen a tengpam thoseh, a thung lahai thoseh a sak.
And David dwelt in the castle, and called it, The city of David: and built round about from Mello and inwards.
10 Hottelah hoi Devit teh hoe a roung teh ransahu BAWIPA Cathut hoi rei ao.
And he went on prospering and growing up, and the Lord God of hosts was with him.
11 Taire siangpahrang Hiram ni Devit koe patounenaw a patoun teh, Sidar thing, imsakkathoum, talungdêikathoum a patoun awh teh, Devit hane im a sak pouh awh.
And Hiram the king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons for walls: and they built a house for David.
12 BAWIPA ni Isarelnaw koe siangpahrang lah ahni teh a caksak e hoi, a tami Isarelnaw hanelah uknaeram a tawmrasang tie Devit ni a panue.
And David knew that the Lord bad confirmed him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom over his people Israel.
13 Devit ni Hebron kho hoi a kampuen hnukkhu, Jerusalem khothung e yu a puidonaw bout a la teh, a ca moikapap bout a tawn.
And David took more concubines and wives of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were born to David other sons also and daughters:
14 Jerusalem kho sak Devit ni a khe e a canaw e min teh: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
And these are the names of them, that were born to him in Jerusalem, Samua, and Sobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
And Jebahar, and Elisua, and Nepheg,
16 Elishama, Eliada hoi Eliphelet naw hah doeh.
And Japhia, and Elisama, and Elioda, and Eliphaleth.

And the Philistines heard that they had anointed David to be king over Israel: and they all came to seek David: and when David heard of it, he went down to a strong hold.
18 Filistinnaw hai a cei awh teh, Rephaim yawn dawk phang a kâkayei awh.
And the Philistines coming spread themselves in the valley of Raphaim.
19 Devit ni Filistinnaw tuk hanelah ka cei han maw, ka kut dawk na poe han maw telah BAWIPA a pacei. BAWIPA ni Devit koe, cet loe. Kai ni Filistinnaw na kut dawk na poe han telah atipouh.
And David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go up to the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to David: Go up, for I will surely deliver the Philistines into thy hand.
20 Devit teh Baalperazim lah a cei teh, hawvah Devit ni ahnimouh a thei. BAWIPA ni, tui ni a raphoe e patetlah katarannaw hah ka hmaitung vah koung na raphoe pouh telah ati. Hatdawkvah, hote hmuen hah Baalperazim telah min a phung.
And David came to Baal Pharisim: and defeated them there, and he said: The Lord hath divided my enemies before me, as waters are divided. Therefore the name of the place was called Baal Pharisim.
21 Hote hmuen koe Filistinnaw ni a ceitakhai e meikaphawknaw hah Devit hoi a taminaw ni koung a raphoe pouh.
And they left there their idols: which David and his men took away.
22 Filistinnaw bout a tho awh teh, Rephaim yawn dawk phang a kâkayei awh.
And the Philistines came up again and spread themselves in the valley of Raphaim.
23 Devit ni BAWIPA koe a pacei navah, ahni ni takhang awh hanh, a hnuk lahoi kalup awh nateh batue kahrawng koehoi rongyawn awh.
And David consulted the Lord: Shall I go up against the Philistines, and wilt thou deliver them into my hands? He answered: Go not up against them, but fetch a compass behind them, and thou shalt come upon them over against the pear trees.
24 Batuekung koe a pawlawk na thai toteh tuk awh loe, bangkongtetpawiteh, Filistinnaw tuk hanelah na hmalah BAWIPA a la cei toe tinae doeh.
And when thou shalt hear the sound of one going in the tops of the pear trees, then shalt thou join battle: for then will the Lord go out before thy face to strike the army of the Philistines.
25 BAWIPA ni kâlawk a poe e patetlah Devit ni a sak. Filistinnaw hah Geba hoi Gezer totouh a thei.
And David did as the Lord had commanded him, and he smote the Philistines from Gabaa until thou come to Gezer.
