1 Chronicles 11
1 Then all Israel came together to David at Hebron and said, “Here we are, your own flesh and blood.
Israel pum te Hebron kah David taengla tingtun uh tih, “Kaimih he na rhuh neh na saa ni he.
2 Even in times past, while Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them back. And the LORD your God said, ‘You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be ruler over them.’”
Hlaem hlavai kah na manghai Saul a om vaengah pataeng Israel te na vuenva puei tih na kunael puei. Te dongah ni na Pathen BOEIPA loh namah taengah, “Nang tah ka pilnam Israel na luem puei vetih nang he ka pilnam Israel soah rhaengsang la na om ni, ' a ti,” a ti na uh.
3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, where David made a covenant with them before the LORD. And they anointed him king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD through Samuel.
Israel kah a ham boeih khaw Hebron kah manghai taengla pawk uh tih David loh amih neh Hebron kah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah paipi a saii. Te phoeiah Samuel kut dongkah BOEIPA ol vanbangla David te Israel sokah manghai la a koelh uh.
4 Then David and all the Israelites marched to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus), where the Jebusites inhabited the land.
Te vaengah David neh Israel boeih tah Jebus Jerusalem la cet uh. Te khohmuen kah khosa rhoek tah Jebusi rhoek ni.
5 The people of Jebus said to David, “You will never get in here.” Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion (that is, the City of David).
Te vaengah Jebus kah khosa rhoek loh David te, “Hela ha kun boeh,” a ti nah. Tedae David loh David khopuei kah Zion rhalvong te a rhawt pah.
6 Now David had said, “Whoever is the first to strike down a Jebusite will become chief commander.” And Joab son of Zeruiah went up first, and he became the chief.
Te phoeiah David loh, “Lamhma la Jebusi aka ngawn boeih tah boeilu la, mangpa la om saeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Zeruiah capa Joab te lamhma la cet tih boeilu la pahoi om van.
7 So David took up residence in the fortress; that is why it was called the City of David.
David loh te kah rhalmahim ah kho a sak dongah ni David khopuei la a khue uh.
8 He built up the city around it, from the supporting terraces to the surrounding wall, while Joab restored the rest of the city.
Khopuei te a kaepvai kah vaikhap lamloh khotaeng khovai hil a thoh tih a caknoi khopuei te Joab loh a hing sak.
9 And David became greater and greater, for the LORD of Hosts was with him.
David te pongpa, pongpa tih a pantai vanbangla caempuei BOEIPA khaw anih taengah om.
10 Now these were the chiefs of David’s mighty men, who, together with all Israel, bolstered and strengthened his kingdom, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.
He tah a ram khuiah anih aka duel David kah boeilu hlangrhalh rhoek neh Israel sokah BOEIPA ol bangla anih aka manghai sak Israel cungkuem rhoek coeng ni.
11 This is the list of David’s mighty men: Jashobeam son of Hachmoni was chief of the officers; he wielded his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed at one time.
David kah hlangrhalh hlangmi he tah sawmthum kah boeilu, rhalboei Hakhomi capa Jashobeam. Anih loh a caai te a haeng tih ya thum te voei khat la a rhokpam sak.
12 Next in command was Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men.
Anih hmatoeng ah Akhohi Dodo capa Eleazar. Anih khaw hlangrhalh pathum khuikah ni.
13 He was with David at Pas-dammim when the Philistines gathered there for battle. At the place with a field full of barley, the troops fled from the Philistines.
Anih te Pasdammin ah khaw David taengah ni a om. Te vaengah Philisti rhoek tah caemtloek la pahoi tingtun uh. Lohma kah khamyai te cangtun khawk om pueng dae pilnam tah Philisti mikhmuh lamloh rhaelrham uh.
14 But Eleazar and David stationed themselves in the middle of the field and defended it. They struck down the Philistines, and the LORD brought about a great victory.
Lohma li ah pai uh tih khohmuen te a huul uh. Te dongah Philisti te a ngawn uh vaengah khaw BOEIPA loh loeihnah a len neh a khang.
15 Three of the thirty chief men went down to David, to the rock at the cave of Adullam, while a company of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.
Boeilu sawmthum lamkah pathum te Adullam lungko lungpang kah David taengla a suntlak uh vaengah Philisti caem tah Rephaim kol ah rhaeh uh.
16 At that time David was in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was at Bethlehem.
David te rhalvong ah a om kuelhuelh vaengah Philisti khohung te Bethlehem ah om van.
17 David longed for water and said, “Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!”
David loh Bethlehem vongka kah tuito lamkah tui te a ngaidam, a ngaidam vaengah tah, “Kai he u long nim n'tul lah ve?” a ti.
18 So the Three broke through the Philistine camp, drew water from the well at the gate of Bethlehem, and brought it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured it out to the LORD,
Pathum long te Philisti rhaehhmuen te a va uh tih vongka taengkah Bethlehem tuito lamkah tui te a than uh. Te phoeiah a khuen uh tih David taengla pawk uh. Tedae David loh te te a ok ham huem pawt tih BOEIPA ham a suep.
19 saying, “Far be it from me, my God, to do this! How can I drink the blood of these men who risked their lives?” Because they had brought it at the risk of their lives, David refused to drink it. Such were the exploits of the three mighty men.
Te phoeiah, “He saii ham he kamah lamkah khaw, ka Pathen taeng lamkah khaw savisava saeh. A hinglu te a kun puei uh coeng dongah hinglu dongkah hlang thii he a ka ok eh?” a ti. Te dongah hlangrhalh pathum loh a saii pah te ok hamla huem pawh.
20 Now Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the Three, and he lifted his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and won a name along with the Three.
Te vaengah Joab mana Abishai tah te rhoek pathum kah a lu la om. Anih loh a caai a haeng tih ya thum te a rhokpam sak. Te dongah pawt nim anih te pathum lakli ah ming a om.
21 He was doubly honored above the Three, and he became their commander, even though he was not included among the Three.
Pathum lakah khaw rhaep nit la a thangpom tih amih taengah mangpa la a om coeng dongah pathum lakli ah mop voel pawh.
22 And Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a man of valor from Kabzeel, a man of many exploits. He struck down two champions of Moab, and on a snowy day he went down into a pit and killed a lion.
Kabzeel lamkah bisai aka ping, tatthai hlang capa, Jehoiada koca Benaiah loh Moab kah sathueng hlang rhoi te a tloek. Te phoeiah anih te vuelsong khohnin ah khaw suntla tih tangrhom khui kah sathueng te a ngawn bal.
23 He also killed an Egyptian, a huge man five cubits tall. Although the Egyptian had a spear like a weaver’s beam in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club, snatched the spear from his hand, and killed the Egyptian with his own spear.
Anih loh Egypt hlang te khaw a ngawn. Tekah hlang te cungnueh ah dong nga lo. Egypt kut dongkah caai te hni tak kah tampai bangla om. Tedae anih te conghol neh a suntlak thil mai tih Egypt kut lamkah caai te a rhawth pah. Te phoeiah amah caai neh amah te a ngawn.
24 These were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who won a name alongside the three mighty men.
He tlam he Jehoiada capa Benaiah loh a saii dongah ni anih te a ming khaw hlangrhalh pathum lakah a om.
25 He was most honored among the Thirty, but he did not become one of the Three. And David appointed him over his guard.
Sawmthum lakah khaw anih te amah la thangpom coeng ne. Tedae pathum taengla a mop thai voel pawt dongah anih te David loh a taengom la a khueh.
26 Now these were the mighty men: Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan son of Dodo of Bethlehem,
