2 Samuel 23
1 Now these are the last words of David: The saying of David the son of Jesse, and the saying of the man raised on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet singer of Israel:
Hetnaw teh a hnukteng Devit ni lawk a dei e naw doeh. Jesi capa Devit a rasangnae koe tawmrasang e lah ao teh, Jakop Cathut ni satui a awi e, Isarel hanelah la kahawi ka phuengkung ni hettelah a dei.
2 The spirit of the LORD spoke by me, and His word was upon my tongue.
BAWIPA e Muitha ni kai hno lahoi a dei. A lawk teh ka lai dawk ao.
3 The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me: 'Ruler over men shall be the righteous, even he that ruleth in the fear of God,
Isarel Cathut Isarel lungsong ni, kai koevah a dei. Taminaw kaukkung teh, a lan roeroe vaiteh, Cathut taki nalaihoi a uk han.
4 And as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, a morning without clouds; when through clear shining after rain, the tender grass springeth out of the earth.'
Khopâui hoeh, kanî ka tâcawt e amom e angnae patetlah thoseh, khorak hnukkhu, kanî a tâco teh talai dawk hoi phokahring ka cawn e patetlah thoseh ao han.
5 For is not my house established with God? for an everlasting covenant He hath made with me, ordered in all things, and sure; for all my salvation, and all my desire, will he not make it to grow?
Ka imthung teh Cathut hoeh laipalah nakunghai, a yungyoe lawkkamnae kai hoi ka sak roi toe. Hote lawkkam teh tangka kuep hoeh nakunghai, kaie rungngangnae hoi kai ni ka ngainae lah ao.
6 But the ungodly, they are as thorns thrust away, all of them, for they cannot be taken with the hand;
Kai cungkeihoehe taminaw teh, tâkhawng e pâkhig patetlah ao. Bangkongtetpawiteh kut hoi la thai lah awm hoeh.
7 But the man that toucheth them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in their place.
Ka tek e tami ni sum hoi tahroe hah hno han a ngai. Hahoi teh, amamae hmuen dawk hmai hoi koung sawi lah ao han telah na pato a ti.
8 These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite; he lifted up his spear against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time.
Hetnaw heh Devit e athakaawme taminaw doeh. Takhemon tami Joshebbashebeth teh ransa kacuenaw thung dawk kacuepoung e lah ao. Ahni teh tahroe hah a sin teh, tami 800 touh vaitalahoi a thei.
9 And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the son of an Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, when they jeoparded their lives against the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away;
Ahni hnuk vah, Aho capa Dodo, Dodo capa Eleazar doeh. Ahni teh taran ka tuk hanelah kamkhueng e Filistinnaw hoi a kâtâ awh lahun hah, Isarelnaw koung a yawng navah, Devit koe e athakaawme taminaw kathum touh thung dawk e buet touh lah ao.
10 he stood firm, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand did cleave unto the sword; and the LORD wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to strip the slain.
Ahni teh a thaw teh, Filistinnaw koe a kut a pho teh a kut nget a tawn totouh Filistinnaw hah a bouk. Hot hnin vah BAWIPA ni lentoenae lahoi a tâ pouh. Ahnimanaw teh tarannaw e hnopai hah a la hanelah doeh a ban awh toe.
11 And after him was Shammah the son of Age the Ararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines.
Ahni hnuk vah, Hararite tami Agee capa Shammah doeh. Baphoungkung a thanae hmuen koe Filistinnaw a kamkhueng awh teh, taminaw ni Filistinnaw a yawng takhai awh.
12 But he stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD wrought a great victory.
Ahni teh hote hmuen koe a kangdue teh a ring. Filistin tami hah a thei teh, BAWIPA ni kalenpounge tânae a poe.
13 And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam; and the troop of the Philistines were encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
Ransa tarankahawi e thung dawk 30 touh a cathuk awh teh, canganae tueng dawk, Devit aonae koe Adullam talungkhu dawk a cei awh teh, Filistin ransanaw teh Rephaim yawn dawk a tungpup awh.
14 And David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Beth-lehem.
Hatnae tueng navah, Devit teh rapan dawk ao teh, Filistinnaw teh Bethlehem kho vah ao awh.
15 And David longed, and said: 'Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Beth-lehem, which is by the gate!'
Devit ni dik a doun nalaihoi Bethlehem e tuikhu tui rapan teng e hah nei hane na kapoekung awm haw pawiteh aw telah a ti.
16 And the three mighty men broke through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David; but he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the LORD.
Athakaawme taminaw kathum touh ni Filistin ransahu pat a raka teh rapan teng e Bethlehem kho e tuikhu tui hah a do awh. Devit koe a ceikhai awh teh, ahni ni net ngai hoeh. BAWIPA e hmaitung vah a rabawk.
17 And he said: 'Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this; shall I drink the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives?' therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.
Oe BAWIPA hete tui heh kai ni ka net mahoeh. Due hane hai taket laipalah kacetnaw e thi phu hah ka nei han namaw, telah ati. Net laipalah ao. Athakaawme taminaw kathum touh e ni a sak awh e doeh.
18 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred and slew them, and had a name among the three.
Zeruiah capa Joab e a hmaunawngha Abshai teh kathum touh thung dawk kacuepoung lah ao. A tahroe hoi tami 300 touh a thei dawkvah, kathum touh thung dawk minhawinae a hmu.
19 He was most honourable of the three; therefore he was made their captain; howbeit he attained not unto the first three.
Kathum touh thung dawkvah, oup hane nahoehmaw. Hatdawkvah, kacue e lah ao. Hateiteh, a hmaloe e tarankahawi e ransanaw phat hoeh.
20 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, he smote the two altar-hearths of Moab; he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow;
Kebzeel tami tarankahawi capa Jehoiada capa Binaiah ni thaonae hno moikapap a sak. Moab tami a min kamthang sendek patet e tami kahni touh a thei. Kasik thapa dawk hai alouk lae lungngoum thung kaawm e sendek hah a thei.
21 and he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man; and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but 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.
Tami kalenpounge Izip tami hah a thei. Izip tami ni tahroe a sin eiteh, Benaiah ni sonron dueng hah a sin teh, a cei. Izip tami e a kut dawk e tahroe a lawp teh hot e tahroe hoi ama hah a thei.
22 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had a name among the three mighty men.
Jehoiada capa Benaiah niteh, hot patet lae hno hah a sak dawkvah, athakaawme taminaw kathum touh thung dawk minhawinae a hmu.
23 He was more honourable than the thirty, but he attained not to the first three. And David set him over his guard.
Tami 30 touh hlak bari hane kawi lah ao. Hateiteh, ahmaloe e kathum touh phat hoeh. Devit ni ama karingkungnaw e kacue lah a hruek.
24 Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of Beth-lehem;
