1 Chronicles 18
1 Some time later, David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and he captured Gath and its nearby towns from the Philistines.
Te phoeiah khaw David loh Philisti te a ngawn tih amih te a kunyun sak. Te vaengah Gath neh a khobuel rhoek te Philisti kut lamloh a lat.
2 David also defeated the Moabites, making them subject to him and requiring them to pay taxes.
Moab te a ngawn bal dongah Moab khaw David taengah khocang aka thak sal la om uh.
3 David then defeated Hadadezer, king of Zobah, near Hamath, as he tried enforce his control along the Euphrates River.
Zobah manghai Hadadezer loh a kut dongah Perath tuiva phai te khueh hamla a caeh vaengah David loh Khamath duela a ngawn.
4 David captured from him 1,000 chariots, 7,000 charioteers, and 20,000 foot soldiers. David hamstrung all the chariot horses—except he saved enough for 100 chariots.
Anih taeng lamkah te David loh leng thawngkhat, marhang caem thawng rhih, rhalkap tongpa thawng kul a tuuk pah. Te vaengah David loh leng khaw boeih a haih pah tih leng yakhat bueng a paih pah.
5 When the Arameans from Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed 22,000 of them.
Te vaengah Aram Damasku tah Zobah manghai Hadadezer bom hamla ha pawk. Tedae David loh Aram kah hlang thawng kul neh thawng hnih a ngawn.
6 David placed forces in the Aramean town of Damascus, and also made them subject to him and required them to pay taxes. The Lord gave David victories wherever he went.
David loh Aram Damasku ah khohung a khueh tih Aram te David taengah khocang aka thak sal om. David te a caeh nah takuem ah BOEIPA loh a khang.
7 David took the shields of gold that were carried by Hadadezer's officers and brought them to Jerusalem.
David loh Hadadezer sal rhoek pum dongah aka om sui photling te a loh tih Jerusalem la a khuen.
8 David also took a large quantity of bronze from Tibhath and from Cun, towns that had belonged to Hadadezer. Solomon used that bronze to make the bronze sea, the columns, and the various bronze objects.
Hadadezer khopuei Tibhath lamkah neh Kun lamkah rhohum te yet te David loh bahoeng a loh pah. Te nen te Solomon loh rhohum tuili khaw, tung khaw, rhohum hnopai khaw a saii.
9 When Tou, king of Hamath, learned that David had destroyed the entire army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah,
David loh Zobah manghai Hadadezer kah caem boeih a ngawn pah te Khamath manghai Toi loh a yaak.
10 he sent his son Hadoram to David to make friends with him and to congratulate him on his victory in battle over Hadadezer. Tou and Hadadezer had often been at war. Hadoram brought gifts of gold, silver, and bronze.
Hadadezer a vathoh thil tih Toi kah caemtloek hlang rhoek hamla Hadadezer te a ngawn pah. Te dongah amah te sading kawng dawt ham neh amah uem puei hamla manghai David taengah a capa Hadoram te a tueih tih sui hnopai boeih neh cak khaw rhohum khaw a khuen sak.
11 King David dedicated these gifts to the Lord, along with the silver and gold he had taken from all the following nations: Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalekites.
Te rhoek te khaw Manghai David loh BOEIPA taengah namtom cungkuem taeng lamkah, Edom lamkah, Moab lamkah, Ammon koca taeng lamkah, Philisti lamkah, Amalek lamkah a phueih cak neh sui neh a ciim.
12 Abishai, son of Zeruiah, killed 18,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
Zeruiah capa Abishai loh kolrhawk ah Edom te thawng hlai rhet a ngawn.
13 He set up army posts in Edom, and all the Edomites became subject to David. The Lord gave David victories wherever he went.
Te dongah Edom ah khohung rhoek a khueh tih Edom boeih te David taengah sal om uh. A caeh nah takuem ah David te BOEIPA loh a khang.
14 David ruled over all Israel. He did what was fair and right for all his people.
David te Israel boeih soah a manghai vaengah a pilnam boeih ham khaw tiktamnah neh duengnah aka saii la om.
15 Joab, son of Zeruiah, was the army commander, while Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, kept the official records.
Zeruiah capa Joab tah caempuei soah, Ahilud capa Jehoshaphat loh khocil aka khoem la om.
16 Zadok, son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech, son of Abiathar, were the priests, while Shavsha was secretary.
Ahitub capa Zadok neh Abiathar capa Abimelek te khosoih, Shavsha te cadaek la om.
17 Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, was in charge of the Kerethites and Pelethites; and David's sons were at the king's side, serving as his chief officials.
Jehoiada capa Benaiah te Kerethi neh Phelethi soah a khueh. David koca rhoek te tah manghai kut ah lamhma uh.
