1 Chronicles 19
1 And it happened after this, that Nahash the king of the people of Ammon died, and his son Hanun reigned in his place.
Te phoeiah tah Ammon koca rhoek kah manghai Nahash te duek tih a capa te anih yueng la manghai.
2 David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me." So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. David's servants came into the land of the people 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 But the leaders of the people of Ammon said to Hanun, "Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Haven't his servants come to you to search, 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 So Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent 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 rhakthuem a hlueng pah phoeiah a tueih.
5 Then there went certain persons, and told David how the men were served. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, "Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."
A caeh uh vaengah tah a hlang rhoek kawng te David ham a puen pa uh. 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 When the people of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the people of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Aram Maacah, and out of Zobah.
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 So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people, who came and camped before Medeba. The people of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to 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 When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.
David loh a yaak vaengah Joab neh hlangrhalh caempuei te boeih a tueih.
9 The people of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city: and the kings who had come were 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 om uh.
10 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Arameans.
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 The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the people 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 He said, "If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help 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 courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the cities of our God. May YHWH do that which seems good to him."
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 So Joab and the people who were with him drew near before the Arameans to the battle; and they fled before him.
Te phoeiah Joab neh a taengkah pilnam loh Aram te caemtloek la a thoeih hatah a mikhmuh lamloh rhaelrham uh.
15 When the people of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came 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 When the Arameans saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Arameans who were beyond the River, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.
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 te amih hmai ah a lamhma sak.
17 It was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came on them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Arameans, they fought 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 The Arameans fled before Israel; and David killed of the Arameans the men of seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shobach the captain of the army.
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 When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David, and served him: neither would the Arameans help the people of Ammon any more.
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.
