1 Chronicles 18
1 Some time later, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Gath and its villages from the hand of the Philistines.
Te phoeiah khaw David loh Philisti te a ngawn tih amih te a kunyun sak. Te vaengah Gath neh a khobuel rhoek te Philisti kut lamloh a lat.
2 David also defeated the Moabites, and they became subject to David and brought him tribute.
Moab te a ngawn bal dongah Moab khaw David taengah khocang aka thak sal la om uh.
3 As far as Hamath, David also defeated King Hadadezer of Zobah, who had marched out to establish his dominion along the Euphrates River.
Zobah manghai Hadadezer loh a kut dongah Perath tuiva phai te khueh hamla a caeh vaengah David loh Khamath duela a ngawn.
4 David captured from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand charioteers, and twenty thousand foot soldiers, and he hamstrung all the horses except a hundred he kept for the chariots.
Anih taeng lamkah te David loh leng thawngkhat, marhang caem thawng rhih, rhalkap tongpa thawng kul a tuuk pah. Te vaengah David loh leng khaw boeih a haih pah tih leng yakhat bueng a paih pah.
5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand men.
Te vaengah Aram Damasku tah Zobah manghai Hadadezer bom hamla ha pawk. Tedae David loh Aram kah hlang thawng kul neh thawng hnih a ngawn.
6 Then he placed garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became subject to David and brought him tribute. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
David loh Aram Damasku ah khohung a khueh tih Aram te David taengah khocang aka thak sal om. David te a caeh nah takuem ah BOEIPA loh a khang.
7 And David took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.
David loh Hadadezer sal rhoek pum dongah aka om sui photling te a loh tih Jerusalem la a khuen.
8 And from Tibhath and Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David took a large amount of bronze, with which Solomon made the bronze Sea, the pillars, and various bronze articles.
Hadadezer khopuei Tibhath lamkah neh Kun lamkah rhohum te yet te David loh bahoeng a loh pah. Te nen te Solomon loh rhohum tuili khaw, tung khaw, rhohum hnopai khaw a saii.
9 When King Tou of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,
David loh Zobah manghai Hadadezer kah caem boeih a ngawn pah te Khamath manghai Toi loh a yaak.
10 he sent his son Hadoram to greet King David and bless him for fighting and defeating Hadadezer, who had been at war with Tou. Hadoram brought all kinds of articles of gold and silver and bronze,
Hadadezer a vathoh thil tih Toi kah caemtloek hlang rhoek hamla Hadadezer te a ngawn pah. Te dongah amah te sading kawng dawt ham neh amah uem puei hamla manghai David taengah a capa Hadoram te a tueih tih sui hnopai boeih neh cak khaw rhohum khaw a khuen sak.
11 and King David dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had carried off from all these nations—from Edom and Moab, and from the Ammonites, Philistines, and Amalekites.
Te rhoek te khaw Manghai David loh BOEIPA taengah namtom cungkuem taeng lamkah, Edom lamkah, Moab lamkah, Ammon koca taeng lamkah, Philisti lamkah, Amalek lamkah a phueih cak neh sui neh a ciim.
12 Moreover, Abishai son of Zeruiah struck down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
Zeruiah capa Abishai loh kolrhawk ah Edom te thawng hlai rhet a ngawn.
13 He placed garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
Te dongah Edom ah khohung rhoek a khueh tih Edom boeih te David taengah sal om uh. A caeh nah takuem ah David te BOEIPA loh a khang.
14 Thus David reigned over all Israel and administered justice and righteousness for all his people:
David te Israel boeih soah a manghai vaengah a pilnam boeih ham khaw tiktamnah neh duengnah aka saii la om.
15 Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
Zeruiah capa Joab tah caempuei soah, Ahilud capa Jehoshaphat loh khocil aka khoem la om.
16 Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Shavsha was the scribe;
Ahitub capa Zadok neh Abiathar capa Abimelek te khosoih, Shavsha te cadaek la om.
17 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief officials at the king’s side.
Jehoiada capa Benaiah te Kerethi neh Phelethi soah a khueh. David koca rhoek te tah manghai kut ah lamhma uh.
