< 2 Samuel 8 >
1 Some time later, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Metheg-ammah from the hand of the Philistines.
David loh Philisti te a ngawn tih amih te a hnah daengah Philisti kut lamkah Ammah Metheg te David loh a loh.
2 David also defeated the Moabites, made them lie down on the ground, and measured them off with a cord. He measured off with two lengths those to be put to death, and with one length those to be spared. So the Moabites became subject to David and brought him tribute.
Moab te a tloek tih rhui a toe thil phoeiah amih te diklai la a yalh sak. Te vaengah ngawn hamla than hnih te a khueh tih than at a hing la boeih a khueh. Te dongah Moab tah David taengah sal la om tih khocang te a thak. Te dongah Moab loh David kah sal a bi tih mangmu a paek.
3 David also defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, who had marched out to restore his dominion along the Euphrates River.
Anih kut lamkah loh Perath tuiva phaiTe lat hamla Zobah manghai Rehob capa Hadadezer te a caeh vaengah David loh a tloek.
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.
Te vaengah David loh marhang caem thawngkhat ya rhih, rhalkap hlang thawng kul a tuuk pah. Te vaengah David loh leng yakhat Te amah ham a paih tih a tloe leng boeih te tah boeih a haih.
5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand men.
Zobah manghai Hadadezer bom hamla Damasku long khaw a paan dae Aram hlang thawng kul thawng hnih Te David loh 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 Damasku ah khohung a khueh. Te dongah Aram tah David taengah khocang aka thak sal la om. David te a caeh nah boeih ah BOEIPA loh a khang.
7 And David took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.
Te phoeiah Hadadezer sal rhoek taengah aka om sui photling te David loh a loh tih Jerusalem la a khuen.
8 And from Betah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a large amount of bronze.
Hadadezer khopuei Betah lamkah neh Berothai lamkah rhohum Te yet Te manghai David loh kang a khuen.
9 When King Toi of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer,
Hadadezer kah tatthai boeih te David loh a ngawn coeng tila Khamath manghai Toi loh a yaak.
10 he sent his son Joram to greet King David and bless him for fighting and defeating Hadadezer, who had been at war with Toi. Joram brought with him articles of silver and gold and bronze,
Te dongah Toi loh a capa Joram te manghai David taengla a tueih tih sading kawng te a dawt sak. Toi amah khaw Hadadezer kut dongah ana om coeng dongah Hadadezer a vathoh thil tih anih kah caemtloek hlang a ngawn pah te a uem coeng. Te vaengah hnopai la cak, sui neh rhohum te a khuen pah.
11 and King David dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had dedicated from all the nations he had subdued—
Manghai David loh namtom boeih taeng lamkah a hoep tih a khoem cak neh sui te khaw,
12 from Edom and Moab, from the Ammonites and Philistines and Amalekites, and from the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
Aram lamkah, Moab lamkah, Ammon koca taeng lamkah, Philisti lamkah, Amalek lamkah, Zobah manghai Rehob capa Hadadezer kutbuem khui lamkah te khaw BOEIPA taengah a ciim.
13 And David made a name for himself when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
Kolrhawk ah Aram hlang thawng hlai rhet a ngawn tih a mael vaengah David ming Te om coeng.
14 He placed garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
Te phoeiah khohung rhoekTe Edom ah a khueh. Edom tom ah khohung rhoek a khueh coeng dongah Edom Te David taengah sal la boeih om. David te a caeh nah boeih ah BOEIPA loh a khang.
15 Thus David reigned over all Israel and administered justice and righteousness for all his people:
David loh Israel pum te a manghai thil coeng. David a om vaengah a pilnam boeih taengah duengnah neh a tiktam la a saii.
16 Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
Zeruiah capa Joab Te caempuei soah, Ahilud capa Jehoshaphat Te khocil aka khoem la,
17 Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Seraiah was the scribe;
Ahitub capa Zadok neh Abiathar capa Ahimelek Te khosoih la, Seraiah Te cadaek la,
18 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were priestly leaders.
Jehoiada capa Benaiah, Kerethi, Phelethi neh David capa rhoek tah khosoih la om uh.
