2 Samuel 23
1 Now, these, are the last words of David, —The oracle of David, son of Jesse, Yea the oracle of The man raised up on high, The Anointed of the God of Jacob, the Delight of the Songs of Israel:
Hae loe David ih hnukkhuem koek lok ah oh; Jesse capa David mah, ranui koek ah kaom, Jakob ih Sithaw mah situi bawh ih, lok kamding Israel kaminawk ih laa sahkung mah,
2 The Spirit of Yahweh, spake in me, —And, his word, was on my tongue;
Angraeng ih Muithla mah kai khaeah lokthuih pongah, anih ih lok to ka palai ah oh.
3 Said the God of Israel, Unto me, spake the Rock of Israel: —One Ruling over Men, A Righteous One, ruling in the reverence of God,
Israel ih Sithaw mah lok to thuih; Israel ih lungsong mah kai khaeah, Kaminawk ukkung loe toenghaih hoiah uk moe, Sithaw zithaih hoiah uk han oh.
4 Is even as the light of the morning when ariseth the sun, —A morning, without clouds, [As] from brightness, [and] from rain, the fresh shoots out of the earth.
Tamai tabok ai, akhawn bang ni aengh baktih toengah, kho angzoh pacoeng ni tacawt naah, long thung hoiah tacawt qam kanawk baktiah oh han oh.
5 When, not so, was my house with GOD, Then, a covenant age-abiding, he appointed me, Ordered in all things and guarded, Now that it is all my salvation and all my desire, Will he not make it shoot forth?
Ka imthung takoh kaminawk loe Sithaw hoi nawnto om poe ai cadoeh, anih loe amro thai ai, dungzan kacak lokkamhaih to kai hoiah sak boeh; to lokkamhaih loe akoep ai cadoeh, kai pahlongkung hoi ka koehhaih ah oh.
6 But, as for the abandoned, like thorns to be tossed away are they all, —For, not with the hand, can they be taken;
Toe kasae kaminawk loe, ban hoi sui han hoih ai, vah sut ih soekhring baktiah oh o.
7 But, the man that would touch them, Must fence himself with iron, and the shaft of a spear, —Then, with fire, shall they be, consumed, on the spot!
To baktih soekhring va kami loe, sum hoi sak ih khukbuen hoi kanoe tayae to patoh moe, a ohhaih ahmuen ih long ah hmai hoiah thlaek han oh, tiah a thuih.
8 These, are the names of the mighty men, who belonged to David, —The president a Tachmonite head of the charioteers, the same, was Adino the Eznite, for eight hundred, slain at one time.
Hae loe thacak David ih kami ah oh o; Takmon acaeng, Josheb-Basshebeth loe kami thumto zaehoikung ah oh; anih loe tayae to sin moe, vaito ah kami cungvai tazetto hum.
9 And, after him, Eleazar son of Dodo, son of Ahohi, —in the hero-class of mighty men, with David, when they reproached the Philistines, they were gathered together there to battle, but the men of Israel had gone up;
Anih tlim ah kaom Ahoah acaeng Dodo capa Eleazar loe, David hoi nawnto kacaeh misahoih kami thumto thungah athum. Nihcae loe misatuk han amkhueng Philistinnawk to hmaang o moe, Israel kaminawk mah hnuk angnawn o taak naah,
10 he, however, arose and smote among the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto his sword, so Yahweh wrought a great victory on that day, —the people, coming back after him, only to strip the slain.
anih loe ban khah moe, ban khah pongah sumsen phok thai ai karoek to, Philistin kaminawk to takroek; to na niah Angraeng mah kalen parai pazawkhaih to paek; to pacoengah kaminawk angzoh o let, toe nihcae loe minawk ih hmuenmae lomh han khue ni angzoh o.
11 And, after him, Shammah son of Agee, the Hararite, —and, when the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, there being at hand an allotment of field-land full of lentils, but, the people, having fled from the face of the Philistines,
Anih pacoengah loe Harar acaeng, Agee capa Shammah to oh. Philistin kaminawk loe cangro aan ohhaih lawk ah angcu o moe, Israel kaminawk cawnh o king naah,
12 then took he his stand in the midst of the allotment, and defended it, and smote the Philistines, —and Yahweh wrought a great victory.
anih loe lawk aum li ah angdoet moe, misa to pakaa, Philistin kaminawk to hum pongah, Angraeng mah kalen parai pazawkhaih to paek.
13 And three of the thirty chiefs descended, and came in, towards harvest, unto David, unto the cave of Adullam, —although, a troop of Philistines, were encamped in the vale of Rephaim;
Cang aah tue naah, kami quithumto zaehoikung kacoehta thumtonawk loe, David ohhaih Adullam thlungkhaw thungah caeh o tathuk; to naah Philistin kaminawk loe, Raphaim azawn ah atai o.
14 and, David, then was in a stronghold, —and, a garrison of Philistines, was then in Bethlehem.
David misa abuephaih imsang thungah oh naah, Philistin kaminawk loe Bethlehem vangpui ah atai o.
15 And David longed, and said, —Who will give me to drink water out of the well of Bethlehem, that is within the gate?
David mah tui anghaeh parai naah, Kami maeto mah ka naek hanah Bethlehem vangpui khongkha taeng ih, tui to na paek nahaeloe aw! tiah thuih.
16 And the three mighty men brake through the camp of Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was within the gate, and bare it, and brought it in unto David, —yet would he not drink, but poured it out unto Yahweh,
To pongah thacak kami thumtonawk mah, Philistin kaminawk to muk o moe, Bethleham khongkha taeng ih tui to dok o pacoengah, David han sin pae o; toe anih mah to tui to nae pae ai; Angraeng hmaa ah tui to kraih pae king.
17 and said—Be it far from me, O Yahweh, that I should do this! is it not the blood of the men who went with their lives [in their hands]? So he would not drink it. These things, did the three mighty men.
Aw Angraeng hae tui naek hanah kai hoi angthla nasoe, hae tui loe angmacae hinghaih paek moe, tui dok han kacaeh kaminawk ih athii ah na ai maw oh? tiah a thuih pongah tui to nae pae ai. Hae loe thacak kami thumtonawk mah sak o ih hmuen ah oh.
18 And. Abishai brother of Joab son of Zeruiah, he, was chief of three, in that he brandished his spear against three hundred whom he slew; and, he, had a name among three.
Zeruiah capa, Joab ih amnawk, Abishai loe, thumto kaminawk zaehoikung ah oh; anih mah tayae hoiah kami cumvai thumto thunh moe, hum; to pongah anih doeh kami thumtonawk salakah ahmin amthang toeng.
19 Was he not most honourable, of the three, and so became their captain? Nevertheless, unto the three, he attained not.
Anih loe thumto kaminawk thungah kalen kue pakoehhaih to hnuk na ai maw? To pongah anih loe nihcae zaehoikung ah oh; toe kami thumto thungah hmaloe koek kami to pha ai.
20 Benaiah also, son of Jehoiadah, son of an active man, hero of many a deed, a man of Kabzeel, he, smote the two sons of Ariel of Moab, he, also went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit, on a day of snow;
Kabzeel vangpui ih misahoih kami, Jehoiada capa Benaiah loe kalen parai toksah kami ah oh, kaipui hoi kanghmong Moab kami hnetto a hum. Dantui krak naah long khaw thungah caeh tathuk moe, kaipui maeto a hum;
21 he, also smote an Egyptian, who was of valiant bearing, and, in the hand of the Egyptian, was a spear, but he went down unto him with a staff, —and wrested the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slew him with his own spear.
kalen parai Izip kami to hum moe, Izip kami ban ih tayae to lomh pae pacoengah, angmah ih tayae hoiah a thunh let.
22 These things, did Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and, he, had a name among three mighty men.
Jehoiada capa Benaiah mah hae baktih hmuennawk hae sak; anih doeh thacak thumto kaminawk baktiah ahmin amthang toeng.
23 He was the most honourable, of thirty, although, unto the three, he attained no, —so David added him to his council.
Anih loe thumto kaminawk pongah pakoeh kue han oh, toe hmaloe ih thacak thumto kaminawk to pha ai; David mah anih to angmah toepkung ah suek.
24 Asahel, brother of Joab, was among the thirty, —Elhanan, son of Dodo, of Bethlehem;
