1 Chronicles 20
1 Now it happened that, after the course of a year, in the time when kings usually go forth to war, Joab gathered an army with experienced soldiers, and he laid waste to the land of the sons of Ammon. And he continued on and besieged Rabbah. But David was staying in Jerusalem when Joab struck Rabbah and destroyed it.
Kum a thok tue kah manghai a pawk tue vaengah tah Joab loh tatthai caempuei te a hmaithawn tih Ammon koca kah khohmuen te a phae pah. Te phoeiah cet tih Rabbah te a dum. David te Jerusalem ah kho a sak vaengah Joab loh Rabbah te a tloek tih a koengloeng.
2 Then David took the crown of Milcom from his head, and he found in it the weight of one talent of gold, and very precious gems. And he made for himself a diadem from it. Also, he took the best spoils of the city, which were very many.
David loh amih kah manghai rhuisam te a lu dong lamloh a loh pah. Te te a khiing sui talent khat lo tih a khuiah lung vang om. Te tah David lu dongah om tih khopuei kah kutbuem a khuen khaw bahoeng yet.
3 Then he led away the people who were in it. And he caused plows, and sleds, and iron chariots to go over them, so much so that they were cut apart and crushed. So did David treat all the cities of the sons of Ammon. And he returned with all his people to Jerusalem.
A khuikah pilnam te khaw a khuen tih hlawh taengah, thi yoeng taengah, hlawh te a ah sak. Te tlam te David loh Ammon koca rhoek kah khopuei boeih te a saii. Te phoeiah ni David neh a pilnam boeih te Jerusalem la a mael pueng.
4 After these things, a war was begun at Gezer against the Philistines, in which Sibbecai the Hushathite struck Sippai from the race of the Rephaim, and he humbled them.
A hnukah khaw Gezer ah Philisti neh caemtloek koep puek bal. Te vaengah Khushathi Sibbekhai loh Rapha cahlah lamkah Sippai te a ngawn sak tih a kunyun sakuh.
5 Also, another war was undertaken against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus, a son of the forest, a Bethlehemite, struck the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the wood of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
Te phoeiah Philisti neh caemtloek om bal tih Jair kah Jair capa Elhanan loh Ghitti Goliath mana Lahmi te a ngawn. Anih kah caai tueng te hni tak kah tampai bangla om.
6 Then too, another war occurred in Gath, in which there was a very tall man, having six digits, that is, all together twenty-four. This man too was born from the stock of the Rephaim.
Gath ah caemtloek om bal tih cungkui hlang kaw om. A kutdawn khodawn parhuk, parhuk neh pakul pali lo. Anih khaw Rapha lamkah ca sak ni.
7 He blasphemed Israel. And Jonathan, the son of Shimea, the brother of David, struck him down.
Israel te a veet dongah anih te David maya Shimea capa Jonathan loh a ngawn.
8 These were the sons of the Rephaim in Gath, who fell by the hand of David and his servants.
Rapha lamkah a sak rhoek he Gath ah David kut neh a sal rhoek kut ah cungku uh.
