< 2 Samuel 23 >

1 Now these are the last words of David: David the son of Jesse saith, And the man who was raised up on high, The anointed of the God of Jacob, And the sweet psalmist of Israel saith,
He tah David kah olka, Jesse capa David kah hmailong olphong, Jakob Pathen loh a koelh tih sang la thoh hlang kah olphong, Israel kah laa ding ni.
2 The Spirit of Jehovah spoke by me, And his word was on my tongue.
BOEIPA kah Mueihla he kai dongah cal tih, a ol Te ka lai dongah om.
3 The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me, The ruler among men shall be just, Ruling in the fear of God;
Israel Pathen loh kai taengah a thui tih, “Israel lungpang tah hlang soah a dueng la aka taemrhai tih Pathen hinyahnah neh aka taem aka rhai la om.
4 And [he shall be] as the light of the morning, [like] the rising of the sun, A morning without clouds; [When] from the sunshine, after rain, The green grass springeth from the earth.
Mincang khosae khomik aka thoeng bangla, mincang khomai a om pawt dongah a aa bangla, khotlan hnukah diklai lamkah baelhing banghui ni.
5 Although my house be not so before God, Yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, Ordered in every way and sure; For [this is] all my salvation, and every desire, Although he make [it] not to grow.
Ka imkhui he Pathen neh doda uh ngawn pawt cakhaw kumhal paipi tah kamah taengah ni a. khueh. A cungkuem dongah rhong a tael tih ka daemnah cungkuem te a ngaithuen. Te dongah ka hue ngaih boeih te khaw cuen voel pawh.
6 But [the sons] of Belial [are] all of them as thorns thrust away, Because they cannot be taken with hands;
Tedae aka muen tah hling bangla a thaek banlak tih kut nen khaw lo voel pawh.
7 And the man that will touch them provideth himself with iron and the staff of a spear; And they shall be utterly burned with fire in [their] place.
Amih aka ben hlang long tah thi neh caai tueng khaw cung tih amah hmuen ah hmai neh a hoeh la a hoeh uh,” a ti.
8 These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Joseb-Bassebeth, Tachkemonite the chief of the captains: he was Adino the Eznite; he [fought] against eight hundred, slain [by him] at one time.
He rhoek he tah David kah hlangrhalh rhoek kah a ming ni. Takhemoni Joshebbashebeth tah boeilu la om tih anih tah amah kah caai neh yahuem sut. Caai nen te hlang ya rhet mai voei khat la a rhokpam sak.
9 And after him, Eleazar the son of Dodo the son of an Ahohite: he was one of the three mighty men with David, when they had defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone up.
Anih hnuk, anih hnukah tah Akhohi capa Dodo, Dodo capa Eleazar khaw David taengkah hlangrhalh pathum khuiah thum. Amih te a veet tih caemtloek ham Philisti rhoek a tingtun uh vaengah Israel hlang khaw a khuen uh.
10 He arose and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave to the sword; and Jehovah wrought a great deliverance that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil.
Te dongah anih Te thoo tih a kut a kohnue neh cunghang dongah a kut rhap a khoom duela Philisti te a tloek. Te dongah BOEIPA loh amah khohnin ah loeihnah tanglue a saii pah tih pilnam khaw anih hnukah hnopai pit ham dawk la ha pawk uh.
11 And after him, Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite: the Philistines were gathered into a troop, and there was there a plot of ground full of lentils, and the people had fled before the Philistines;
Anih phoeiah Harari Agee capa Shammah a om vaengah Philisti tah mulhing bangla tingtun uh. Te vaengah lohma kah khamyai ah rhacik khawk om tapkhoeh. Pilnam tah Philisti mikhmuh lamloh rhaelrham coeng.
12 and he stood in the midst of the plot and delivered it, and smote the Philistines, and Jehovah wrought a great deliverance.
Te vaengah khamyai bangli ah pai tih pilnam te a huul. Philisti te a ngawn vaengah BOEIPA loh loeihnah tanglue a saii pah.
13 And three of the thirty chiefs went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam, when the troop of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
A lu sawmthum pathum khuikah sawmthum Te suntla uh tih cangah vaengah Adullam lungko kah David taengla pawk uh. Te vaengah Philisti mulhing tah Rephaim kol ah rhaeh pueng.
14 And David was then in the stronghold; and the Philistines' garrison was then at Bethlehem.
Te vaengah David Te rhalvong khuiah om tih Philisti rhaltawt hmuen tah Bethlehem ah om van.
15 And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me to drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is in the gate!
David loh vongka kah Bethlehem tuito tui ke a ngaidam tih, “U long nim kai n'tul lah ve,” a ti.
16 And the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, which is in the gate, and took it, and brought it to David; however he would not drink of it, but poured it out to Jehovah.
Te dongah hlangrhalh pathum loh Philisti kah rhaehhmuen te a va uh tih vongka kah Bethlehem tuito tui a than uh. Te phoeiah a khuen uh tih David taengla a pawk puei uh. Tedae a ok ham huem pawt tih BOEIPA hmaiah a hawk.
17 And he said, Be it far from me, Jehovah, that I should do this thing! is it not the blood of the men that went at the risk of their lives? Therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.
Te vaengah, “He ka saii ham kai lamkah tah savisava BOEIPA, a hinglu aka caeh puei hlang rhoek kah a thii a? a ti tih ok ham huem pawh. Hlangrhalh pathum long khaw te tlam te ni a saii uh.
18 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was the chief of three; and he brandished his spear against three hundred and slew them; and he had a name among the three.
Zeruiah capa Joab mana Abishai tah pathum kah a lu la om. Anih loh a caai te a haeng tih ya thum a rhokpam sak. Te dongah anih tah pathum lakah a ming om.
19 Was he not most honourable of three? and he was their captain; but he did not attain to the [first] three.
Pathum lakah a thangpom het a? Te dongah amih taengah mangpa la om cakhaw pathum te a pha moenih.
20 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, son of a valiant man, great in exploits, of Kabzeel: he it was that smote two lions of Moab; and he went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.
Kabzeel lamkah Jehoiada capa Benaiah tah hlangtang capa, tatthai neh a bisai khaw khuet. Anih loh Moab kah sathueng hlang panit te a ngawn. Te phoeiah anih Te suntla tih vuel hla dongah vaam kah sathueng khui ah aka om sathueng te a ngawn.
21 He also smote the Egyptian, an imposing man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.
Anih loh Egypt hlang tah a mueimae hlang aka then khaw a ngawn bal. Egypt kut dongah caai om dae a conghol neh a suntlak thil. Te phoeiah Egypt kut lamkah caai te a rhawth pah tih amah caai neh amah te a ngawn.
22 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he had a name among the three mighty men.
Te te a saii dongah Jehoiada capa Benaiah tah hlangrhalh pathum dongah a ming thum.
23 He was honoured above the thirty, but he did not attain to the [first] three. And David set him in his council.
Sawmthum lakah a thangpom dongah pathum taengah thum sak voel pawt tih anih Te David amah kah a taengom la a khueh.
