< 2 Samuel 10 >
1 And it came to pass, after this, that the king of the sons of Ammon died, —and that Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
Hathnukkhu, Ammon siangpahrang teh a due. A capa Hanun ni a na pa e yueng lah siangpahrang a tawk.
2 Then said David—I will shew lovingkindness unto Hanun son of Nahash, as his father shewed, unto me, lovingkindness. So David sent to comfort him, by the hand of his servants, as to his father, —and the servants of David came into the land of the sons of Ammon.
Devit ni Hanun e a na pa Nahash teh kai koe ahawinae a sak dawkvah, pahrennae ka kamnue sak van han telah ati. A na pa a due nah lungpahawi hanelah a sannaw a patoun teh, Devit e sannaw teh Ammonnaw e ram koe a pha awh.
3 Then said the rulers of the sons of Ammon unto Hanun their lord—Is David honouring thy father, in thine eyes, that he hath sent unto thee comforters? Is it not, for the sake of exploring the city, and spying it out, and overthrowing it, that David hath sent his servants unto thee?
Ammon miphun kacuenaw ni amamae a bawipa Hanun koevah, Devit ni na barilawa dawkvah, nang koe lungmawng nahanelah, tami a patoun e na yuem maw. Devit ni hete khopui a raphoe thai nahan ka tuet hanelah nang koe a patoun awh nahoehmaw telah atipouh awh.
4 Wherefore Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved off half their beards, and cut off their upper garments in the middle, as far as their buttocks, —and let them go.
Hanun ni Devit e a sannaw a man teh, a pâkhamuen tangawn a ngaw pouh. A khohna hai a laheibaw totouh a a pouh hnukkhu a cei sak.
5 And, when they told David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed, —and the king said—Tarry at Jericho, until your beards be grown, then shall ye return.
Hote kamthang hah Devit ni a thai toteh, ahnimanaw teh a kaya poung dawkvah, ahnimanaw dawn sak hanelah a patoun teh, nangmouh teh pâkhamuen a saw hoehroukrak Jeriko kho dawkvah awm awh. Hahoi torei bout tho awh telah atipouh.
6 And, when the sons of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious with David, the sons of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zoba—twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah—a thousand men, and men of Tob—twelve thousand men.
Ammonnaw ni vah, maimouh teh Devit e hmaitung panuettho e lah o awh han tie a panue awh teh, taminaw a patoun awh teh, Bethrekhob kho hoi Aramzobah kho e Siria ransa 20,000, hoi siangpahrang Maakah e tami 1,000, hoi Tob ram e tami 12,000 touh hah a hlai awh.
7 And, when David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of heroes,
Devit ni hote kamthang a thai toteh, Joab hoi athakaawme ransanaw hah a patoun.
8 And the sons of Ammon came out, and set in array for battle, at the entrance of the gate, —whereas, the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and of Maacah, were by themselves, in the field.
Ammonnaw hah a tâco awh teh, kho longkha koe a tungpup awh. Aramzobah kho, Rehob, Tob kho hoi ka tho e Siria tami hoi Maakah siangpahrang e taminaw teh aloukcalah law vah ao awh.
9 And, when Joab saw that the front of the battle was towards him, before and behind, he chose out of all the chosen men of Israel, and set them in array against the Syrians;
A hnukhma lahoi tuk hane na kâcai awh tie Joab ni a thai navah, Isarelnaw thung dawk hoi kahawi kahawi e a rawi teh, Sirianaw tuk hanelah namranlah a tumpup awh.
10 while, the rest of the people, he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, —and set [them] in array against the sons of Ammon.
Aloukenaw pueng hah a hmaunawngha Abisai kut dawk koung a hruek teh, Ammon tami tuk hanelah a tumpup sak awh.
11 And he said—If the Syrians be too strong for me, then shalt thou become my deliverance, —but, if, the sons of Ammon, be too strong for thee, then will I come with deliverance to thee.
Siria taminaw ni kai na tâ pawiteh, nangmouh ni na kabawp han. Ammonnaw ni nangmanaw na tâ pawiteh, kaimouh ni na kabawp han.
12 Be strong, and let us put forth our strength, for the sake of our people, and for the sake of the cities of our God, —and, Yahweh, do what is good in his own eyes.
Tarankahawi lah awm awh. Ka taminaw hoi mamae Cathut khonaw hanelah thapatung awh nateh, tuk awh. BAWIPA ni a ngainae patetlah a sak han doeh atipouh.
13 And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, to fight against the Syrians, —and they fled before him.
Ama koe kaawm e taminaw hoi Siria taminaw tuk hanelah a pâtam awh teh, Sirianaw a yawng awh.
14 And, when, the sons of Ammon, saw that the Syrians had fled, then fled they before Abishai, and entered the city, —so Joab returned from the sons of Ammon, and entered Jerusalem.
Sirianaw a yawng awh e Ammonnaw ni a hmu awh navah, ahnimouh hai Abisai hmalah a yawng awh teh, kho thung vah a kâen awh. Joab hai Ammon ram hoi a tâco teh Jerusalem kho lah a cei.
15 And, when the Syrians saw that they were defeated before Israel, they gathered themselves together;
Sirianaw ni Isarelnaw e a hmalah amamanaw a sung e a kâpanue awh navah bout a kamkhueng awh.
16 and Hadadezer sent and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the River, and they entered Helam, —Shobach the prince of the host of Hadadezer being before them.
Hadadezer ni tami a patoun teh, tui namran lah kaawm e Sirianaw a thokhai teh, Hadadezer ransa kacue e Shobak ni a hrawi awh teh, Helam kho lah a cei awh.
17 And, when it was told David, he gathered together all Israel, and passed over the Jordan, and entered Helam, —and the Syrians set themselves in array to meet David, and fought with him.
Hote kong Devit koe a dei pouh. Isarelnaw pueng koung a pâkhueng teh, Jordan tui a raka awh teh, Helam kho a pha awh. Sirianaw ni Devit tuk hanelah a kampawp awh teh a tuk awh.
18 Then fled the Syrians before Israel, and David slew of the Syrians seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen, —Shobach also, prince of their host, smote he, that he died, there.
Sirianaw teh Isarelnaw e hmalah hoi a yawng awh. Devit ni Siria tami leng dawk kâcuinaw 700 hoi marangransanaw 40,000 touh a thei. Ransabawi Shobak hai a thei awh teh hawvah a due.
19 And, when all the kings who were servants to Hadadezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them, —and the Syrians feared to give help any more unto the sons of Ammon.
Hadadezer koe san ka toung e siangpahrangnaw pueng teh, Isarelnaw e hmaitung vah amamanaw a sung e a kâpanue awh navah, Isarelnaw hoi roumnae a sak awh teh, a thaw a tawk pouh awh. Hottelah Sirianaw ni Ammonnaw hah bout kabawm ngai awh hoeh toe.
