1 Chronicles 12
1 Also, these went to David at Ziklag, while he was still fleeing from Saul, the son of Kish. And they were very strong and distinguished fighters,
He tah Kish capa Saul mikhmuh lamloh a vi uh vaengah Ziklag kah David taengla aka kun uh tih hlangrhalh rhoek khui lamloh caemtloek vaengah aka bom khaw amih ni.
2 bending the bow, and using either hand in casting stones with slings, and shooting arrows. From the brothers of Saul, out of Benjamin:
Lii aka muk tih banvoei neh bantang ah lungto neh, thaltang neh, lii neh aka naep Benjamin ko neh Saul kah pacaboeina tah,
3 the leader was Ahiezer, with Joash, sons of Shemaah from Gibeah, and Jeziel and Pelet, sons of Azmaveth, and Beracah and Jehu, from Anathoth.
Boeilu Ahiezer neh Gibeah Shemaah koca ah Joash, Jeziel, Azmaveth koca ah Pelet, Berakah, Anatoth Jehu.
4 Also, there was Ishmaiah, from Gibeon, the strongest among the thirty and over the thirty; Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Jozabad, from Gederah;
Sawmthum so neh sawmthum lakli kah hlangrhalh Gibonee Ishmaiah. Jeremiah neh Jahaziel, Johanan neh Gederathite Jozabad.

7 and also Joelah and Zebadiah, sons of Jeroham, from Gedor.
Joelah neh Gedor lamkah Jeroham capa Zebadiah.
8 Then too, from Gad, there went over to David, when he was hiding in the desert, very robust men, who were excellent fighters, taking hold of shield and spear; their faces were like the faces of a lion, and they were swift like the roe deer upon the mountains.
Gad lamkah khaw khosoek rhalmahim ah David taengla kun uh tih caempuei khuiah tatthai hlangrhalh hlang la omuh. Caemtloek vaengah khaw photlinglen neh cai neh a rhong a pai uh. A maelhmai te sathueng maelhmai la om tih tlang kah kirhang bangla loe uh.
9 Ezer was the leader, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,

10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
A pali te Mishmannah, a panga te Jeremiah.

13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbannai the eleventh.
A hlai ah Jeremiah, a hlai at dongah Makhbanai.
14 These were from the sons of Gad, leaders of the army. The least was in charge of one hundred soldiers, and the greatest was in charge of one thousand.
He rhoek he Gad koca rhoek khui lamkah caempuei boeilu rhoek ni. Pakhat loh a yol koek yakhat, a yet koek thawng khat a hung.
15 These are the ones who crossed over the Jordan in the first month, when it is accustomed to overflow its banks. And they put to flight all those who were staying in the valleys, to the eastern region and to the west.
Amih rhoek he tah tuikaeng langdai pum te tui a li vaengkah lamhma cuek hla ah Jordan te kat uh. Te vaengah tuikol pum te khocuk la, khotlak la yong uh.
16 Then some from Benjamin and from Judah also arrived at the stronghold where David was staying.
Benjamin neh Judah koca rhoek lamkah khaw, rhalmahim kah David taengla pawk uh.
17 And David went out to meet them, and he said: “If you have arrived peacefully, so as to be a help to me, may my heart be joined to you; but if to betray me to my adversaries, though I have no iniquity in my hands, may the God of our fathers see and judge.”
David te amih mikhmuh la mop tih a doo. Te vaengah amih te, “Rhoepnah neh kai bom hamla kai taengah na pawk uh atah kai khaw nangmih taengah thinko thikat la om bitni. Tedae ka rhal taengah kai nan phok ham atah ka kut ah kuthlahnah a om oeh pawt dongah a pa rhoek kah Pathen loh hmuh saeh lamtah tluung saeh,” a ti nah.
18 Truly, the Spirit clothed Amasai, the leader among the thirty, and he said: “O David, we are yours! O son of Jesse, we are for you! Peace, peace to you, and peace to your helpers. For your God helps you.” Therefore, David received them, and he appointed them as leaders of troops.
Te vaengah Mueihla loh sawmthum kah boeilu Amasai te a thing tih, “David nang te rhalboei ni. Jesse capa nang taengah rhoepnah om saeh. Nang taengah ngaimongnah om saeh. Nang aka bom taengah rhoepnah om saeh. Na Pathen loh nang m'bom bitni,” a ti nah. Te dongah David loh amih te a doe tih amih te caem kah boeilu la a khueh.
19 Moreover, some from Manasseh crossed over to David, when he went forth with the Philistines against Saul, so that he might fight. But he did not fight with them. For the leaders of the Philistines, taking counsel, sent him back, saying, “To the peril of our own heads, he will return to his lord, Saul.”
Saul te caemtloek thil ham Philisti neh a paan vaengah Manasseh lamkah khaw David taengla cungku uh. Tedae Philisti boei rhoek loh anih te cilsuep hnukah a tueih uh tih, “A boei rhoek taengla Saul a cungku atah kaimih lu ah tla saeh,” a ti nah dongah amih te bom uh pawh.
20 And so, when he returned to Ziklag, some fled over to him from Manasseh: Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Adnah, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillethai, leaders of thousands in Manasseh.
Ziklag la a caeh vaengah tah Manasseh lamloh Adnah neh Jozabad, Jediael neh Michael, Jozabad, Elihu neh Zillethai tah anih taengla cungku uh. Amih he Manasseh khuiah tah thawngkhat kah boeilu rhoek la om uh.
21 These offered assistance to David against the robbers. For all were very strong men, and they became leaders in the army.
Amih te tatthai hlangrhalh neh caempuei khuiah khaw mangpa la boeih a om uh dongah David te caem nen khaw a bom thil uh.
22 Then, too, some came to David throughout each day, in order to help him, until they became a great number, like the army of God.
Te vaengah tue ah ngawn tah Pathen caem bangla caem len la a poeh hil, anih bom ham te David taengla a hnin, a hnin ah pawk uh.
23 Now this is the number of the leaders of the army who went to David when he was at Hebron, so that they might transfer the kingdom of Saul to him, in accord with the word of the Lord:
He tah anih taengkah BOEIPA ol bangla Saul kah ram vael pah hamla Hebron kah David taengla aka pawk tih caempuei hamla aka pumcum uh boeilu rhoek kah hlangmi ni.
24 the sons of Judah, carrying shield and spear, six thousand eight hundred, equipped for battle;
Photlinglen neh cai aka muk tih caempuei hamla aka pumcum uh Judah koca he thawng rhuk ya rhet.
25 from the sons of Simeon, very strong men for the fight, seven thousand one hundred;

26 from the sons of Levi, four thousand six hundred;

27 as well as Jehoiada, a leader from the stock of Aaron, and with him three thousand seven hundred;

28 and then Zadok, a youth of distinguished qualities, and the house of his father, twenty-two leaders;
Tatthai hlangrhalh la cadong Zadok neh a napa rhoek imkhui he mangpa pakul panit om.
29 and from the sons of Benjamin, brothers of Saul, three thousand, for still a great part of them were following the house of Saul.
Benjamin koca lamloh Saul kah pacaboeina he thawng thum lo tih Saul im kah a kuek te a puehkan la a ngaithuen uh.
30 Then from the sons of Ephraim, there were twenty thousand eight hundred, very strong and robust men, renowned among their kindred.
Ephraim koca lamloh tatthai hlangrhalh neh a napa rhoek imkhui kah ming om hlang rhoek he thawng kul ya rhet lo.
31 And out of the one half tribe of Manasseh, eighteen thousand, each by their names, went forth so that they might appoint David as king.
David a manghai ham vaengah Menasseh koca hlangvang lamloh aka pawk te a ming neh thawng hlai rhet la mingpha uh.
32 Also, from the sons of Issachar, there were learned men, who knew each of the times, in order to anticipate what Israel ought to do, two hundred leaders. And all the remainder of the tribe were following their counsel.
A tue te yakmingnah neh aka ming tih, Israel loh metla a saii ham aka ming Issakhar koca lamkah khaw a boeilu yahnih neh, a olka hmuikah a manuca rhoek khaw cungkuem uh.
33 Then, from Zebulun, there were those who went forth to battle, and who were standing in a battle line, prepared with the weapons of warfare; these fifty thousand arrived to assist, without duplicity of heart.
Zebulun lamkah he caempuei la pawk tih caemtloek hnopai cungkuem neh caemtloek rhong aka pai thawng sawmnga om. Tedae a lungbuei neh lungbuei khaw hmaai uh rhoi pawh.
34 And from Naphtali, there were one thousand leaders; and with them were thirty-seven thousand, prepared with shield and spear.
Naphtali lamkah mangpa thawngkhat neh amih taengah photlinglen neh caai aka pom he thawng sawmthum thawng rhih om.
35 And then from Dan, there were twenty-eight thousand six hundred, ready for battle.
Dan lamloh caemtloek la rhong aka pai he thawng kul thawng rhet ya rhuk lo.
36 And from Asher, there were forty thousand, going forth to fight, and summoned to the battle line.
Asher lamloh caemtloek rhongpai ham caempuei la aka pawk he thawng sawmli lo.
37 Then, across the Jordan, there were, from the sons of Reuben, and from Gad, and from the one half tribe of Manasseh, one hundred twenty thousand, prepared with the weapons of warfare.
Jordan rhalvangan lamkah Reuben, Gad neh Manasseh koca hlangvang lamlong khaw caempuei kah hnopai cungkuem neh caemtloek he thawng yahnih thawng kul om.
38 All these men of war, equipped for the fight, went with a perfect heart to Hebron, so that they might appoint David as king over all of Israel. Then, too, all the remainder of Israel were of one heart, so that they might make David king.
Caem vaengah kah a hmaai caemtloek hlang rhoek boeih tah Israel boeih soah David manghai sak ham te thinko rhuemtuet neh Hebron la pawk uh. Te vaengah Israel a meet boeih long khaw David manghai sak ham te lungbuei pakhat la a khueh.
39 And they were in that place with David for three days, eating and drinking. For their brothers had made preparations for them.
Te vaengah David neh hnin thum pahoi om uh tih amih te a cako la a tawn uh coeng dongah a caak a ok uh.
40 Moreover, those who were near to them, even as far as Issachar, and Zebulun, and Naphtali, were bringing, on donkeys and camels and mules and oxen, bread for their provisions, with grain, dried figs, dried grapes, wine, oil, and oxen and sheep, with all abundance. For indeed, there was joy in Israel.
Amih neh aka yoei long khaw Issakhar, Zebulun neh Naphtali bangla buh te laak neh, kalauk neh, muli-marhang neh, saelhung neh a thoeng puei uh. Caak ham te vaidam, thaidae, misur rhae, misurtui, situi, saelhung neh boiva khaw Israel khuikah kohoenah cangpai la a khuen pauh.
