2 Samuel 5
1 And all the tribes of Israel come to David, to Hebron, and speak, saying, “Behold, we [are] your bone and your flesh;
Israel koca pum loh David te Hebron la a paan uh tih, “Kaimih he namah rhuh, kaimih he namah saa dae la he.
2 also thus far, in Saul’s being king over us, you have been he who is bringing out and bringing in Israel, and YHWH says to you, You feed My people Israel, and you are for leader over Israel.”
Hlaem hlavai kah Saul a om vaengah ni kaimih soah manghai la na om khaw na om rhoe coeng. Israel te a thak, a thak tih a pawk khaw a pawk puei. Te dongah ni BOEIPA loh namah taengah, 'Ka pilnam Israel te na luem puei vetih Israel soah rhaengsang la na om bitni,’ a ti pai,” a ti uh.
3 And all [the] elderly of Israel come to the king, to Hebron, and King David makes a covenant with them in Hebron before YHWH, and they anoint David for king over Israel.
Israel patong boeih loh Hebron la manghai te a paan uh. Te vaengah manghai David loh amih te Hebron ah moi a boh pah tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah David te Israel sokah manghai la a koelh uh.
4 A son of thirty years [is] David in his being king; he has reigned [for] forty years;
David a manghai vaengah kum sawmthum lo ca coeng tih kum sawmli khuiah manghai van.
5 he reigned over Judah in Hebron [for] seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned [for] thirty-three years, over all Israel and Judah.
Hebron ah Judah te kum rhih hla rhuk a manghai thil tih Jerusalem ah Israel neh Judah pum te kum sawmthum kum thum a manghai thil.
6 And the king goes, and his men, to Jerusalem, to the Jebusite, the inhabitant of the land, and they speak to David, saying, “You do not come in here, except [that] you turn aside the blind and the lame,” saying, “David does not come in here.”
Manghai neh a hlang rhoek loh Jerusalem khohmuen khosa kung Jebusi te a caeh uh thil hatah David te a voek tih, “Hela na kun mahpawh, hela David kun boel saeh a ti coeng atah mikdael rhoek neh aka khaem rhoek long mah nang te n'haek thai,” a ti nah.
7 And David captures the fortress of Zion, it [is] the City of David.
Tedae David loh Zion rhalvong David khopuei te vik a loh.
8 And on that day David says, “Anyone striking the Jebusite, let him go up by the watercourse (and the lame and the blind—the hated of David’s soul).” Therefore they say, “The blind and lame—he does not come into the house.”
Te khohnin ah David loh, “Aka khaem khaw, mikdael khaw, khat khat long khaw Jebusi aka ngawn tah tuikun khaw pha saeh,” a ti. Te khaw David kah a hinglu a hmuhuet, la a hmuhuet uh tih mikdael khokhaem loh, “Im khuila ha kun boel saeh,” a ti uh dongah ni.
9 And David dwells in the fortress, and calls it the City of David, and David builds all around, from Millo and inward,
Rhalvong te David loh a om thil dongah David Khopuei la a khue. Te dongah vaikhap lamloh imkhui duela a kaepvai te David loh a sak.
10 and David goes, going on and becoming great, and YHWH, God of Hosts, [is] with him.
David a caeh a pongpa vaengah a pantai te caempuei Pathen BOEIPA loh anih a om puei dongah ni.
11 And Hiram king of Tyre sends messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and craftsmen of wood, and craftsmen of stone, for walls, and they build a house for David,
Tyre manghai Khiram loh David taengla puencawn a tueih tih lamphai thing, thing kutthai, pangbueng dongkah ham lungto kutthai neh David ham im a sak uh.
12 and David knows that YHWH has established him for king over Israel, and that He has lifted up his kingdom, because of His people Israel.
Israel sokah manghai la BOEIPA loh anih a thoh khaw, a pilnam Israel kong ah a ram a phoh te khaw David loh a ming.
13 And again David takes concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after his coming from Hebron, and again there are born to David sons and daughters.
David loh yupuei yula muep a loh dongah Hebron lamkah Jerusalem la a pawk vaengah David ham capa neh canu khawk a sak pauh.
14 And these [are] the names of those born to him in Jerusalem: Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
Jerusalem ah anih ham aka thaang rhoek a ming rhoek tah Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
15 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
Ibhar, Elishua neh, Nepheg neh Japhia,
16 and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.
Elishama, Eliada neh Eliphelet.
17 And the Philistines hear that they have anointed David for king over Israel, and all the Philistines come up to seek David, and David hears, and goes down to the fortress,
Israel sokah manghai la David a koelh uh te Philisti rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah David mae hamla Philisti rhoek boeih cet uh. Tedae David loh a yaak tih rhalvong la suntla thuk.
18 and the Philistines have come, and are spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
Te vaengah Philisti rhoek ha pawk uh tih Rapha kol ah khawk taai uh.
19 And David asks of YHWH, saying, “Do I go up to the Philistines? Do You give them into my hand?” And YHWH says to David, “Go up, for I certainly give the Philistines into your hand.”
David loh BOEIPA te a dawt tih, “Philisti te ka paan a yaa, amih te ka kut dongah nan tloeng aya?” a ti nah hatah BOEIPA loh David te, “Cet! Philisti te na kut dongah kam paek rhoe kam paek ni,” a ti nah.
20 And David comes to Ba‘al-Perazim, and David strikes them there, and says, “YHWH has broken forth [on] my enemies before me, as the breaking forth of waters”; therefore he has called the name of that place Ba‘al-Perazim.
David te Baalperazim la cet tih amih te a ngawn. Te vaengah David loh, “Ka thunkha rhoek te BOEIPA loh ka mikhmuh ah tui puut bangla a va coeng,” a ti. Te dongah tekah hmuen te a ming Baalperazim la a khue.
21 And they forsake their idols there, and David and his men lift them up.
Te vaengah a hnoo uh sut amih muei te David neh a hlang rhoek loh a koh uh.
22 And the Philistines add again to come up, and are spread out in the Valley of Rephaim,
Te phoeiah a rhaep la Philisti rhoek koep cet uh tih Rapha kol ah taai uh.
23 and David asks of YHWH, and He says, “You do not go up, turn around to their rear, and you have come to them from the front [[or in front]] of the mulberries,
Te vaengah David loh BOEIPA te a dawt hatah, “Cet boeh, a hnuk longah vael lamtah, amih te tikti rhaldan ah khoep cuuk.
24 and it comes to pass, in your hearing the sound of a stepping in the tops of the mulberries, then you move sharply, for then YHWH has gone out before you to strike in the camp of the Philistines.”
Tikti soi ah haeksak ol na yaak la, na yaak coeng atah cuuk thil laeh. Philisti lambong tloek ham te na hmaiah BOEIPA cet coeng,” a ti nah.
25 And David does so, as YHWH commanded him, and strikes the Philistines from Geba to your coming to Gazer.
BOEIPA loh amah a uen bangla David loh a saii tih Philisti te a tloek tih Geba lamloh Gezer la pawk.
