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;

Isarel miphunnaw Hebron kho Devit aonae koe a tho awh. Kaimanaw hah na hru hoi na thitak katang doeh.

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.”

Ayan vah kaimae lathueng Sawl siangpahrang lah ao navah, Isarelnaw katâcawtkhaikung hoi kâenkhaikung lah ao. BAWIPA ni ka tami Isarelnaw na paca han, na uk han telah nang koe ati telah a ti.

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.

Hatdawkvah, Isarel kacuenaw Hebron kho siangpahrang koevah a tho awh. Devit siangpahrang ni Hebron vah BAWIPA e hmalah ahnimouh hoi lawkkamnae ka sak. Devit teh Isarelnaw e siangpahrang lah satui a awi awh.

4 A son of thirty years [is] David in his being king; he has reigned [for] forty years;

Devit ni uknae a kamtawng navah kum 30 a pha teh kum 40 touh a uk.

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 kho dawk ao teh, Judahnaw kum 7 thapa 6 touh a uk. Jerusalem vah Isarel hoi Judahnaw kum 33 a uk.

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.”

Siangpahrang ni a taminaw a kaw teh, hote ram dawk kho ka sak e Jebusit tami onae koe Jerusalem kho lah a cei awh. Ahnimanaw ni hete kho dawk na kâen awh mahoeh. Mitdawn hoi khokkhemnaw ni hai Devit teh hete kho thung kâen mahoeh, ahnimouh ni na ngang awh han telah ati awh.

7 And David captures the fortress of Zion, it [is] the City of David.

Hateiteh, Devit ni Devit khopui tie Zion rapanim a tuk teh a tâ.

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.”

Hote hnin dawk Devit ni, Devit hringnae ni a hmuhma e Jebusit tami mitdawn hoi khokkhem thei hanelah tui pat ka raka e ransa pueng teh ransabawinaw e lû lah ka o sak han, hatdawkvah mitdawn hoi khokkhemnaw teh im thung kâen mahoeh telah a ti.

9 And David dwells in the fortress, and calls it the City of David, and David builds all around, from Millo and inward,

Devit teh rapanim dawk ao teh, Devit khopui telah min a phung. Millo hmuen a tengpam thoseh, a thung lahai thoseh a sak.

10 and David goes, going on and becoming great, and YHWH, God of Hosts, [is] with him.

Hottelah hoi Devit teh hoe a roung teh ransahu BAWIPA Cathut hoi rei ao.

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,

Taire siangpahrang Hiram ni Devit koe patounenaw a patoun teh, Sidar thing, imsakkathoum, talungdêikathoum a patoun awh teh, Devit hane im a sak pouh awh.

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.

BAWIPA ni Isarelnaw koe siangpahrang lah ahni teh a caksak e hoi, a tami Isarelnaw hanelah uknaeram a tawmrasang tie Devit ni a panue.

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.

Devit ni Hebron kho hoi a kampuen hnukkhu, Jerusalem khothung e yu a puidonaw bout a la teh, a ca moikapap bout a tawn.

14 And these [are] the names of those born to him in Jerusalem: Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

Jerusalem kho sak Devit ni a khe e a canaw e min teh: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

15 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,

16 and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.

Elishama, Eliada hoi Eliphelet naw hah doeh.

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,

Filistinnaw ni Devit hah Isarelnaw koe siangpahrang lah ao nahan satui a awi tie a panue awh navah, Filistinnaw pueng ni Devit tawng hanelah a cei awh. Devit ni hote hah a thai toteh rapanim dawk hoi a kum.

18 and the Philistines have come, and are spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.

Filistinnaw hai a cei awh teh, Rephaim yawn dawk phang a kâkayei awh.

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.”

Devit ni Filistinnaw tuk hanelah ka cei han maw, ka kut dawk na poe han maw telah BAWIPA a pacei. BAWIPA ni Devit koe, cet loe. Kai ni Filistinnaw na kut dawk na poe han telah atipouh.

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.

Devit teh Baalperazim lah a cei teh, hawvah Devit ni ahnimouh a thei. BAWIPA ni, tui ni a raphoe e patetlah katarannaw hah ka hmaitung vah koung na raphoe pouh telah ati. Hatdawkvah, hote hmuen hah Baalperazim telah min a phung.

21 And they forsake their idols there, and David and his men lift them up.

Hote hmuen koe Filistinnaw ni a ceitakhai e meikaphawknaw hah Devit hoi a taminaw ni koung a raphoe pouh.

22 And the Philistines add again to come up, and are spread out in the Valley of Rephaim,

Filistinnaw bout a tho awh teh, Rephaim yawn dawk phang a kâkayei awh.

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,

Devit ni BAWIPA koe a pacei navah, ahni ni takhang awh hanh, a hnuk lahoi kalup awh nateh batue kahrawng koehoi rongyawn awh.

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.”

Batuekung koe a pawlawk na thai toteh tuk awh loe, bangkongtetpawiteh, Filistinnaw tuk hanelah na hmalah BAWIPA a la cei toe tinae doeh.

25 And David does so, as YHWH commanded him, and strikes the Philistines from Geba to your coming to Gazer.

BAWIPA ni kâlawk a poe e patetlah Devit ni a sak. Filistinnaw hah Geba hoi Gezer totouh a thei.
