1 Chronicles 20
1 In the spring, at the time when kings march out to war, Joab led out the army and ravaged the land of the Ammonites. He came to Rabbah and besieged it, but David remained in Jerusalem. And Joab attacked Rabbah and demolished it.
Kawmpoi e tueng a pha nah, siangpahrangnaw ni tarantuk hane ouk a tâco awh. Joab ni ransahu a ceikhai teh Ammonnaw e ram hah a tuk teh Rabbah kho a kalup awh. Devit teh Jerusalem vah ao Joab ni Rabbah kho a tâ teh a la.
2 Then David took the crown from the head of their king. It was found to weigh a talent of gold and was set with precious stones, and it was placed on David’s head. And David took a great amount of plunder from the city.
Devit ni hote siangpahrang e bawilakhung hah a la pouh. Ai e teh sui talen buet touh a ri. talung phu kaawmnaw hai ao. Devit hah a kâmuk sak awh teh, khopui thung e hno moikapap a lawp awh.
3 David brought out the people who were there and put them to work with saws, iron picks, and axes. And he did the same to all the Ammonite cities. Then David and all his troops returned to Jerusalem.
Hote hmuen koehoi taminaw hah a ceikhai teh, thing a e kawi, laikawk kanawknae hnopainaw, cakânaw, hno nahanelah thaw a tawk sak awh. Hot patetlah Ammonnaw e khopui abuemlah Devit ni a sak hnukkhu, Devit hoi a taminaw pueng teh Jerusalem vah a ban awh.
4 Some time later, war broke out with the Philistines at Gezer. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, a descendant of the Rephaim, and the Philistines were subdued.
Hathnukkhu, Filistinnaw hoi Gezer vah tarankâtuknae bout ao. Hushath Sibbekhai ni Rapha catoun thung dawk e Sippai hah a thei awh teh a sung sak awh.
5 Once again there was a battle with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
Filistinnaw hoi bout kâtuk awh teh, Jair kho e Jair capa Elhanan ni Git tami Goliath e nawngha Lahmi hah a thei. A tahroecung teh hni kawng kalawng e patetlah ao.
6 And there was still another battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He too was descended from Rapha,
Gath khovah kâtuknae bout ao teh, hawvah, ka rasang poung e aranglae kut roi dawk kutcarei taruk touh, avanglae a khok roi dawk a khokcarei taruk, asumkum 24 touh ka tawn e ao. Filistin miphun tamikalen poung e miphunnaw e casak doeh.
7 and when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of David’s brother Shimei killed him.
Ahni ni Isarelnaw a ka pacekpahlek dawkvah, Devit e a nawngha Shimei capa Jonathan ni ahni hah a thei.
8 So these descendants of Rapha in Gath fell at the hands of David and his servants.
Hotnaw teh Gath kho dawk kaawm e Rapha tami kalenpounge casak lah ao teh, Devit hoi a sannaw e kut dawk hoi a due awh.
