1 Chronicles 19
1 And it comes to pass after this, that Nahash king of the sons of Ammon dies, and his son reigns in his stead,
Te phoeiah tah Ammon koca rhoek kah manghai Nahash te duek tih a capa te anih yueng la manghai.
2 and David says, “I do kindness with Hanun son of Nahash, for his father did kindness with me”; and David sends messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And the servants of David come to the land of the sons of Ammon, to Hanun, to comfort him,
Te vaengah David loh, “A napa loh kai taengah sitlohnah a tueng sak dongah Nahash capa Hanun te sitlohnah ka tueng sak van eh,” a ti. Te dongah a napa kongah anih suem ham te David loh puencawn a tueih tih David kah sal rhoek khaw Hanun suem hamla Ammon koca rhoek kah khohmuen la pawk uh.
3 and the heads of the sons of Ammon say to Hanun, “Is David honoring your father in your eyes because he has sent comforters to you? Have his servants not come to you in order to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?”
Tedae Ammon koca rhoek kah mangpa rhoek loh Hanun taengah, “Nang suem ham han tueih dongah na mikhmuh ah David loh na pa a thangpom nama? Khohmuen he hip ham neh maelh ham, khe ham pawt nim a sal rhoek te nang taengla ha pawk uh?” a ti nah.
4 And Hanun takes the servants of David and shaves them, and cuts their long robes in the midst, to the buttocks, and sends them away.
Te dongah Hanun loh David kah sal rhoek te a tuuk. Amih te sam a vok pah, a himbai te a ael ah rhakhuem a hlueng pah phoeiah a tueih.
5 And [some] go and declare to David concerning the men, and he sends to meet them—for the men have been greatly ashamed—and the king says, “Dwell in Jericho until your beard is grown, then you have returned.”
A caeh uh vaengah tah a hlang rhoek kawng te David ham a puen pauh. Hlang rhoek khaw hmaithae la mat a om uh coeng dongah amih aka doe te a tueih. Te vaengah manghai loh, “Na hmuimul a cawn hil Jerikho ah om uh lamtah ha mael uh,” a ti nah.
6 And the sons of Ammon see that they have made themselves abhorred by David, and Hanun and the sons of Ammon send one thousand talents of silver, to hire for themselves, from Aram-Naharaim, and from Aram-Maachah, and from Zobah, chariots and horsemen;
David taengah bo a rhim uh te Ammon koca rhoek loh a hmuh uh. Te dongah Hanun neh Ammon koca rhoek loh Aramnaharaim, Arammaakah, Zobah lamkah leng neh marhang caem te paang hamla cak talent thawng khat neh a tah.
7 and they hire for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people, and they come in and encamp before Medeba, and the sons of Ammon have been gathered out of their cities, and come to the battle.
Te dongah amamih ham te leng thawng sawmthum thawng hnih te a paang uh. Manghai Maakah neh a pilnam te khaw cet uh tih Medeba rhaldan ah rhaeh uh. Ammon koca rhoek khaw amamih khopuei lamloh coi uh thae tih caemtloek la pawk uh.
8 And David hears, and sends Joab, and all the host of the mighty men,
David loh a yaak vaengah Joab neh hlangrhalh caempuei te boeih a tueih.
9 and the sons of Ammon come out and set in array [for] battle at the opening of the city, and the kings who have come [are] by themselves in the field.
Ammon koca rhoek te cet uh tih khopuei thohka ah caemtloek rhong a pai uh. Te vaengah manghai aka pawk rhoek te lohma ah amamih bueng omuh.
10 And Joab sees that the front of the battle has been to him, before and behind, and he chooses out of all the choice in Israel, and sets in array to meet Aram,
Joab loh caemtloek hmai ah a hnuk a hmai la a om te a hmuh. Te dongah Israel khuikah a coelh boeih te koep a coelh tih Aram te mah hamla rhong a pai.
11 and he has given the remnant of the people into the hand of his brother Abishai, and they set in array to meet the sons of Ammon.
Pilnam kah a coihpaih te a mana Abishai kut ah a khueh tih Ammon koca rhoek te mah hamla rhong a pai uh.
12 And he says, “If Aram is stronger than me, then you have been for salvation to me; and if the sons of Ammon are stronger than you, then I have saved you;
Te vaengah, “Aram te kai lakah a tlung atah loeihnah hamla kai taengah om. Tedae Ammon koca rhoek te nang lakah a tlung oeh atah nang kang khang van eh.
13 be strong, and we strengthen ourselves, for our people, and for the cities of our God, and YHWH does that which is good in His eyes.”
Thaahuel uh lamtah mah pilnam ham neh mamih kah Pathen khopuei rhoek ham khaw thaahuel uh sih. BOEIPA loh a mikhmuh ah a then a saii bitni,” a ti nah.
14 And Joab draws near, and the people who [are] with him, before Aram to battle, and they flee from his face;
Te phoeiah Joab neh a taengkah pilnam loh Aram te caemtloek la a thoeih hatah a mikhmuh lamloh rhaelrham uh.
15 and the sons of Ammon have seen that Aram has fled, and they flee—they also—from the face of his brother Abishai, and go into the city. And Joab comes to Jerusalem.
Ammon koca rhoek loh Aram a rhaelrham te a hmuh vaengah amamih khaw Joab mana Abishai mikhmuh lamloh rhaelrham uh tih khopuei khuila a kun coeng dongah Joab khaw Jerusalem la mael.
16 And Aram sees that they have been struck before Israel, and send messengers, and bring out Aram that [is] beyond the River, and Shophach head of the host of Hadarezer [is] before them.
Aram loh Israel mikhmuh ah a yawk te a hmuh vaengah puencawn rhoek te a tueih uh. Te vaengah Aram loh tuiva rhalvangan lamkah te a khuen uh tih Hadadezer kah caempuei mangpa Shophate teamih hmai ah a lamhma sak.
17 And it is declared to David, and he gathers all Israel, and passes over the Jordan, and comes to them, and sets in array against them; indeed, David sets in array [for] battle to meet Aram, and they fight with him;
Tedae David taengla a puen pah dongah Israel pum te a coi tih Jordan te kat. Amih te a paan tih a rhaldan ah rhong a pai. David loh Aram te caemtloek neh doe hamla rhong a pai tih a vathoh thil uh.
18 and Aram flees from the face of Israel, and David slays seven thousand charioteers and forty thousand footmen of Aram, and he has put Shophach head of the host to death.
Aram te Israel mikhmuh lamloh a rhaelrham coeng dongah David loh Aram kah leng caem thawng rhih, rhalkap te hlang thawng sawmli a ngawn pah tih caempuei mangpa Shophate te a duek sak.
19 And the servants of Hadarezer see that they have been struck before Israel, and they make peace with David and serve him, and Aram has not been willing to help the sons of Ammon anymore.
Israel mikhmuh ah a yawk uh te Hadadezer kah sal rhoek loh a hmuh. Te dongah David te a sah tih a taengah thotat uh. Te phoeiah Aram loh Ammon koca te rhun ham ngaih voel pawh.
