< 2 Samuel 10 >

1 And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
Hathnukkhu, Ammon siangpahrang teh a due. A capa Hanun ni a na pa e yueng lah siangpahrang a tawk.
2 And David said: 'I will show kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness unto me.' So David sent by the hand of his servants to comfort him concerning his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
Devit ni Hanun e a na pa Nahash teh kai koe ahawinae a sak dawkvah, pahrennae ka kamnue sak van han telah ati. A na pa a due nah lungpahawi hanelah a sannaw a patoun teh, Devit e sannaw teh Ammonnaw e ram koe a pha awh.
3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord: 'Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David sent his servants unto thee to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?'
Ammon miphun kacuenaw ni amamae a bawipa Hanun koevah, Devit ni na barilawa dawkvah, nang koe lungmawng nahanelah, tami a patoun e na yuem maw. Devit ni hete khopui a raphoe thai nahan ka tuet hanelah nang koe a patoun awh nahoehmaw telah atipouh awh.
4 So Hanun took David's servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
Hanun ni Devit e a sannaw a man teh, a pâkhamuen tangawn a ngaw pouh. A khohna hai a laheibaw totouh a a pouh hnukkhu a cei sak.
5 When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said: 'Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.'
Hote kamthang hah Devit ni a thai toteh, ahnimanaw teh a kaya poung dawkvah, ahnimanaw dawn sak hanelah a patoun teh, nangmouh teh pâkhamuen a saw hoehroukrak Jeriko kho dawkvah awm awh. Hahoi torei bout tho awh telah atipouh.
6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they were become odious to David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Arameans of Beth-rehob, and the Arameans of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with a thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.
Ammonnaw ni vah, maimouh teh Devit e hmaitung panuettho e lah o awh han tie a panue awh teh, taminaw a patoun awh teh, Bethrekhob kho hoi Aramzobah kho e Siria ransa 20,000, hoi siangpahrang Maakah e tami 1,000, hoi Tob ram e tami 12,000 touh hah a hlai awh.
7 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
Devit ni hote kamthang a thai toteh, Joab hoi athakaawme ransanaw hah a patoun.
8 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate; and the Arameans of Zobah, and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
Ammonnaw hah a tâco awh teh, kho longkha koe a tungpup awh. Aramzobah kho, Rehob, Tob kho hoi ka tho e Siria tami hoi Maakah siangpahrang e taminaw teh aloukcalah law vah ao awh.
9 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Arameans;
A hnukhma lahoi tuk hane na kâcai awh tie Joab ni a thai navah, Isarelnaw thung dawk hoi kahawi kahawi e a rawi teh, Sirianaw tuk hanelah namranlah a tumpup awh.
10 and the rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother, and he put them in array against the children of Ammon.
Aloukenaw pueng hah a hmaunawngha Abisai kut dawk koung a hruek teh, Ammon tami tuk hanelah a tumpup sak awh.
11 And he said: 'If the Arameans be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me, but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee.
Siria taminaw ni kai na tâ pawiteh, nangmouh ni na kabawp han. Ammonnaw ni nangmanaw na tâ pawiteh, kaimouh ni na kabawp han.
12 Be of good courage, and let us prove strong for our people, and for the cities of our God; and the LORD do that which seemeth Him good.'
Tarankahawi lah awm awh. Ka taminaw hoi mamae Cathut khonaw hanelah thapatung awh nateh, tuk awh. BAWIPA ni a ngainae patetlah a sak han doeh atipouh.
13 So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh unto the battle against the Arameans; and they fled before him.
Ama koe kaawm e taminaw hoi Siria taminaw tuk hanelah a pâtam awh teh, Sirianaw a yawng awh.
14 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Arameans were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
Sirianaw a yawng awh e Ammonnaw ni a hmu awh navah, ahnimouh hai Abisai hmalah a yawng awh teh, kho thung vah a kâen awh. Joab hai Ammon ram hoi a tâco teh Jerusalem kho lah a cei.
15 And when the Arameans saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they gathered themselves together.
Sirianaw ni Isarelnaw e a hmalah amamanaw a sung e a kâpanue awh navah bout a kamkhueng awh.
16 And Hadadezer sent, and brought out the Arameans that were beyond the River; and they came to Helam, with Shobach the captain of the host of Hadadezer at their head.
Hadadezer ni tami a patoun teh, tui namran lah kaawm e Sirianaw a thokhai teh, Hadadezer ransa kacue e Shobak ni a hrawi awh teh, Helam kho lah a cei awh.
17 And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Arameans set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.
Hote kong Devit koe a dei pouh. Isarelnaw pueng koung a pâkhueng teh, Jordan tui a raka awh teh, Helam kho a pha awh. Sirianaw ni Devit tuk hanelah a kampawp awh teh a tuk awh.
18 And the Arameans fled before Israel; and David slew of the Arameans seven hundred drivers of chariots, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, so that he died there.
Sirianaw teh Isarelnaw e hmalah hoi a yawng awh. Devit ni Siria tami leng dawk kâcuinaw 700 hoi marangransanaw 40,000 touh a thei. Ransabawi Shobak hai a thei awh teh hawvah a due.
19 And when all the kings that were servants to Hadadezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Arameans feared to help the children of Ammon any more.
Hadadezer koe san ka toung e siangpahrangnaw pueng teh, Isarelnaw e hmaitung vah amamanaw a sung e a kâpanue awh navah, Isarelnaw hoi roumnae a sak awh teh, a thaw a tawk pouh awh. Hottelah Sirianaw ni Ammonnaw hah bout kabawm ngai awh hoeh toe.
