2 Samuel 8
1 Sometime after this, David attacked and subdued the Philistines, taking Metheg-ammah from the them.
To nathuem ah David mah, Philistin kaminawk to tuk moe, pazawk; Metheg-ammah vangpui doeh Philistin ban thung hoiah a lak.
2 David also defeated the Moabites. He made them lie down on the ground, and he measured them with a length of cord. He measured two lengths for those to be killed, and one cord length for those to be allowed to live. So he made them subject to him and required them to pay taxes.
Moab kaminawk doeh a tuk, prae kaminawk to long ah angsongsak moe, nihcae to qui hoiah a tah; hum han ih kami to qui hnetto kasawk hoiah a tah, tahhaih qui maeto kasawk loe a hingsak; to pongah Moab kaminawk loe David ih tamna ah oh o moe, nihcae to tamut paeksak.
3 David also defeated Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he tried to enforce his control along the Euphrates River.
To pacoengah Zobah siangpahrang, Rehob capa Hadadezer mah, Euphrates vapui taeng ih praenawk lak let hanah caeh naah, David siangpahrang mah tuk.
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.
David mah hrang lakok sangto, hrang angthueng kami sang sarihto, khok hoi misatuh kaminawk sang pumphaeto naeh; hrang lakok cumvaito naeh moe, kalah hrang lakoknawk loe paro pae boih.
5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand of them.
Zobah siangpahrang Hadadezer abomh hanah Damaska vangpui ah kaom Syria kaminawk angzoh o, toe David mah Syria kami sang pumphae hnetto hum pae boih.
6 He placed garrisons in Aramean kingdom with its capital in Damascus, and made the Arameans subject to him and required them to pay taxes. The Lord gave David victories wherever he went.
David mah Syria prae Damaska ah misatoep kami to suek; Syria kaminawk loe David ih tamna ah oh o moe, tamut to paek o; David caehhaih ahmuen kruekah Angraeng mah pazawkhaih to paek.
7 David took the shields of gold that belonged to Hadadezer's officers and brought them to Jerusalem.
Hadadezer tamnanawk mah sin ih sui aphawnawk to David mah lak moe, Jerusalem ah suek.
8 King David also took a large quantity of bronze from Betah and Berothai, towns that had belonged to Hadadezer.
David loe paroeai pop sumkamling doeh Hadadezer mah uk ih Betah hoi Berothai vangpui thung hoiah lak bae vop.
9 When Tou, king of Hamath, learned that David had destroyed the entire army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah,
David mah Hadadezer ih misatuh kaminawk pazawk boih boeh, tiah Hamath siangpahrang Toi mah thaih naah,
10 he sent his son Joram 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. Joram brought all kinds of gifts of gold, silver, and bronze.
Toi loe angmah ih misa ah kaom, Hadadezer to pazawk pongah, anghoe moe, anih to bansin hanah, a capa Joram to siangpahrang David khaeah patoeh; Joram mah anih hanah sui, phoisa, sum kamling hoiah sak ih laom sabaenawk to sin pae;
11 King David dedicated these gifts to the Lord, along with the silver and gold he had taken from all the nations he had subdued:
David siangpahrang loe to laom sabaenawk to Angraeng khaeah paek; to pacoengah a pazawk ih prae thung ih, sui hoi phoisanawk doeh Angraeng khaeah paek;
12 Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalekites; as well as the plunder taken from Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
Syria hoi Moab, Ammon kaminawk, Philistinnawk hoi Amalek kaminawk; Zobah siangpahrang, Rehob capa Hadadezer khae hoi lomh ih hmuennawk doeh a paek boih.
13 David also made a name for himself when he came back after defeating eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
Paloi azawn ah Syria kaminawk sang hatlai tazetto hum pacoengah, David loe paroeai ahmin amthang.
14 He placed garrisons all through Edom, and all the Edomites became subject to David. The Lord gave David victories wherever he went.
Edom prae thung, Edom prae thung boih ah misatoep kami to a suek, Edom kaminawk loe David ih tamna ah oh o; David caehhaih ahmuen kruekah Angraeng mah pazawkhaih to paek.
15 David ruled over all Israel. He did what was fair and right for all his people.
David loe Israel kaminawk boih ukkung siangpahrang ah oh moe, angmah ih kaminawk nuiah toenghaih hoiah kamsoem ah lokcaek.
16 Joab, son of Zeruiah, was the army commander, and Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, kept the official records.
Zeruiah capa Joab loe misatuh angraeng ah oh moe, Ahilud capa Jehosaphat loe ca tarikkung ah oh.
17 Zadok, son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech, son of Abiathar, were priests, while Seraiah was the secretary.
Ahitud capa Zadok hoi Abiathar capa Ahimelek loe qaima ah oh hoi; Seraiah loe athung bang toksah khenzawnkung ah oh.
18 Benaiah, son of Jehoiada was in charge of the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David's sons were priests.
Jehoiada capa Benaiah loe Kereth hoi Peleth kaminawk ukkung ah oh moe, David capanawk loe ukkungnawk khenzawnkung angraeng ah oh o.
