< 2 Samuel 5 >
1 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, saying, "Look, 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 In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. Jehovah said to you, 'You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be ruler 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 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Jehovah; and they anointed David 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 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
Devit ni uknae a kamtawng navah kum 30 a pha teh kum 40 touh a uk.
5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months; and in Jerusalem he reigned 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 Then the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who said to David, "You will not get in here." For the blind and the lame incited them, saying, "David can't get 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 Nevertheless, David captured the stronghold of Zion (that is, the City of David).
Hateiteh, Devit ni Devit khopui tie Zion rapanim a tuk teh a tâ.
8 David said on that day, "Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him get up to the watercourse, and strike the lame and the blind, those who hate the soul of David." Therefore they say, "The blind and the lame can't come into the palace."
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 David lived in the stronghold, and called it the City of David. And he built a city all around from the 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 David grew greater and greater; for Jehovah of hosts was with him.
Hottelah hoi Devit teh hoe a roung teh ransahu BAWIPA Cathut hoi rei ao.
11 Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and craftsmen of wood, and craftsmen of a wall; and they built David a palace.
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 knew that Jehovah had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sake.
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 David took more secondary wives and wives out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and there were born to David more 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 These are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, 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 Eliphelet, and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
16 and Elishama, and Baaliada, and Eliphelet.
Elishama, Eliada hoi Eliphelet naw hah doeh.
17 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the stronghold.
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 Now the Philistines came and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
Filistinnaw hai a cei awh teh, Rephaim yawn dawk phang a kâkayei awh.
19 So David inquired of Jehovah, asking, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?" Then Jehovah answered David, "Go up, for I will certainly deliver them 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 So David came to Baal Perazim, and he defeated them there, and he said, "Jehovah has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of waters." Therefore he called the name of that place Baal 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 abandoned their idols there; and David and his men took them away.
Hote hmuen koe Filistinnaw ni a ceitakhai e meikaphawknaw hah Devit hoi a taminaw ni koung a raphoe pouh.
22 The Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the Valley of Rephaim.
Filistinnaw bout a tho awh teh, Rephaim yawn dawk phang a kâkayei awh.
23 And David inquired of Jehovah, and Jehovah said to him, "You shall not go up. Circle around behind them, and attack them opposite the poplar trees.
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 shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, that then you are to act decisively; for then Jehovah has gone out before you to strike the army 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 did as Jehovah commanded him, and struck the Philistines from Gibeon all the way to Gezer.
BAWIPA ni kâlawk a poe e patetlah Devit ni a sak. Filistinnaw hah Geba hoi Gezer totouh a thei.
