2 Samuel 10
1 And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
Ammon koca rhoek kah manghai a duek phoeiah anih yueng la a capa Hanun te tloep manghai.
2 And David said, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kindness unto me. So David sent by the hand of his servants to comfort him concerning his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
Te vaengah David loh, “A napa loh kai soah sitlohnah a tueng sak vanbangla Nahash capa Hanun taengah sitlohnah ka tueng van ni,” a ti. Te dongah a napa kongah anih suem nah te David loh a sal rhoek kut neh a pat tih David kah sal rhoek khaw Ammon koca rhoek kah khohmuen te a pha uh.
3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David sent his servants unto thee to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?
Te vaengah Ammon koca rhoek kah mangpa rhoek loh a boei Hanun taengah, “David loh na mikhmuh ah na pa a thangpom dongah nang suem hamla han tueih nama? Khopuei te khe ham neh longyam ham pawt nim? Khopuei palet hamla David loh nang taengah a sal rhoek te han tueih,” a ti nah.
4 So Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
Hanun loh David kah sal rhoek te a khuen tih a hnapae rhakthuem te a vok pah phoeiah, a himbai te a ael ah ngancawn la a saii pah tih amih te a tueih.
5 When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
Tedae David taengla a puen uh dongah amih aka doe te a tueih pah. Tekah hlang rhoek tah hmaithae la bahoeng a om uh coeng dongah manghai loh, “Na hmuimul a cawn hil Jerikho ah khosa uh lamtah ha bal uh,” a ti nah.
6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they were become odious to David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with a thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.
David taengah a bo a rhim te Ammon ca rhoek loh a hmuh uh. Te dongah Ammon ca rhoek loh a tah uh tih Bethrekhob neh Aramzobah rhalkap thawng kul, Maakah manghai kah hlang thawngkhat, Toba kah a hlang khaw hlang thawng hlai hnih te a paang uh.
7 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
David loh a yaak vaengah Joab neh caempuei hlangrhalh rhoek te boeih a tueih.
8 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entering in of the gate: and the Syrians of Zobah, and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
Te vaengah Ammon ca rhoek te ha pawk uh tih caemtloek ham vongka thohka ah rhong a pai uh. Aramzobah neh Rehob, Tob hlang neh Maakah amah amah bueng te kohong ah om uh.
9 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 Syrians:
A hnuk a hmai ah caemtloek hmapai loh anih a pai thil te Joab loh a hmuh. Te dongah Israel, Israel te a coelh, a coelh tih Aram doe hamla rhong a pai.
10 And the rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother, and he put them in array against the children of Ammon.
Pilnam hlangrhuel te a maya Abishai kut ah a tloeng tih Ammon ca rhoek doe hamla rhong a pai.
11 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee.
Te vaengah, “Aram te kai lakah a tanglue atah kai taengah khangnah la ha om ne. Ammon ca rhoek ni nang lakah a tanglue van atah nang taengah khangnah la ka pawk bitni.
12 Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.
Thaahuel lamtah mah pilnam ham neh mamih kah Pathen khopuei rhoek ham thaahuel uh. BOEIPA loh amah mikhmuh ah a then la a saii bitni,” a ti nah.
13 So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.
Joab neh a taengkah pilnam tah Aram taengah caemtloek la thoeih. Te dongah a mikhmuh lamkah rhaelrham uh.
14 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
Ammon ca rhoek loh Aram a rhaelrham te a hmuh uh vaengah amamih khaw Abishai mikhmuh lamloh rhaelrham uh tih khopuei la pawk uh. Joab khaw Ammon ca rhoek taeng lamloh mael tih Jerusalem la cet.
15 And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they gathered themselves together.
Israel mikhmuh ah amah a yawk te Aram loh a hmuh vaengah tun tingtun uh.
16 And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the River: and they came to Helam, with Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer at their head.
Te dongah Hadadezer loh tuiva rhalvang kah Aram te a tah tih hang khuen. Te vaengah Hadadezer kah caempuei mangpa Helam neh Shobakh tah amih hmai ah lamhma rhoi.
17 And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.
David taengla a puen pah vaengah Israel tom te a coi tih Jordan te a kat puei. Helam a pha vaengah Aram loh rhongpai neh David te a mah dongah anih neh tloek uh rhoi.
18 And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians [the men of] seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, that he died there.
Tedae Aram te Israel mikhmuh ah vik rhaelrham uh. Te dongah David loh Aram taengkah leng ya rhih neh marhang caem thawng sawmli te a ngawn. Caempuei mangpa Shobakh te khaw a ngawn tih pahoi duek.
19 And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.
Hadadezer kah sal manghai rhoek loh Israel mikhmuh ah a yawk uh te boeih a hmuh uh daengah Israel te a rhong uh tih a taengah thotat uh. Te phoeiah Aram loh Ammon koca rhoek koep a rhun ham a rhih uh coeng.
