2 Samuel 8
1 Sometime after this, David attacked and subdued the Philistines, taking Metheg-ammah from the them.
Hathnukkhu hoi Devit ni Filistinnaw hah a tuk teh a tâ. Hahoi Devit ni Metheg Ammah kho hah Filistinnaw e kut dawk hoi a la.
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.
Moabnaw a tuk awh teh, talai dawk a yan sak. Rui hoi a bangnue teh ahu kathum touh dawk hu hni touh a thei awh. Hottelah Moabnaw teh Devit ni imhu cawngnae kho lah a coung teh imhu ouk a poe awh.
3 David also defeated Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he tried to enforce his control along the Euphrates River.
Zobah siangpahrang Rehob e capa Hadadezer ni Euphrates tui teng e talai ram la hane a cei navah, Devit ni a thei teh,
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.
marangransa 1,700, ransa 20,000, a man teh leng 100 touh ama han a hruek hnukkhu alouke lengnaw pueng koung a tâtueng.
5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand of them.
Damaskas kho e Siria tami Zobah siangpahrang Hadadezer kabawp hanelah ka cet e hah Devit ni Sirianaw thung dawk e tami 22000 touh a thei.
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.
Hahoi Devit ni Siria ram Damaskas kho dawk ransa a sak, Sirianaw teh Devit koe san a toung awh teh, imhu a cawng awh. Devit a cei nah tangkuem BAWIPA ni tânae a poe.
7 David took the shields of gold that belonged to Hadadezer's officers and brought them to Jerusalem.
Devit ni Hadadezer taminaw koehoi e suisaipheinaw a lawp awh teh, Jerusalem kho vah a thokhai.
8 King David also took a large quantity of bronze from Betah and Berothai, towns that had belonged to Hadadezer.
Devit ni Hadadezer kho Betah hoi Berothai hoi rahum moikapap a la.
9 When Tou, king of Hamath, learned that David had destroyed the entire army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah,
Hamath siangpahrang Toi ni Hadadezer ransa pueng Devit ni koung a tâtueng tie a thai.
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.
Hadadezer a tuk teh a tâ dawkvah, kâhuiko hane hoi yawhawi poe hanelah Toi capa Joram hah Devit koe a patoun. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Adadezer ni Toi hah ouk a tuk boi toe. Joram ni suimanang, ngunmanang, rahummanang hah a sin pouh.
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:
Hote manangnaw hah Devit siangpahrang ni BAWIPA koe thuengnae a sak.
12 Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalekites; as well as the plunder taken from Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
Siria, Moab, Ammon taminaw hoi Filistinnaw, Amaleknaw hoi Zobah siangpahrang Rehob capa Hadadezer koehoi e hnopai a la e naw doeh.
13 David also made a name for himself when he came back after defeating eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
Devit ni palawi yawn dawk hoi a ban lampa Sirianaw 18000 a thei dawkvah a min a kamsawng.
14 He placed garrisons all through Edom, and all the Edomites became subject to David. The Lord gave David victories wherever he went.
Edom ram tangkuem koe ransa a hruek. Edom khocanaw teh Devit koe san a toung awh. Devit ni a ceinae tangkuem dawk BAWIPA ni tânae a poe.
15 David ruled over all Israel. He did what was fair and right for all his people.
Hottelah Devit ni Isarelnaw a uk. A taminaw pueng lannae hoi a uk.
16 Joab, son of Zeruiah, was the army commander, and Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, kept the official records.
Zeruiah capa Joab teh ransanaw kaukkung kacuepoung lah ao. Ahilud capa Jehoshaphat teh kamthang kathutkung lah ao.
17 Zadok, son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech, son of Abiathar, were priests, while Seraiah was the secretary.
Ahitub capa Zadok hoi Abiathar capa Ahimelek hah vaihma lah ao roi.
18 Benaiah, son of Jehoiada was in charge of the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David's sons were priests.
Jehoiada capa Benaiah teh, Kereth tami hoi Peleth taminaw e kacue lah ao. Devit capanaw teh ram kaukkung bawi lah ao awh.
