2 Samuel 5
1 Then came all the tribes of Israel unto David, in Hebron, —and spake, saying—Behold us! thy bone and thy flesh, we are.
Israel koca pum loh David te Hebron la a paan uh tih, “Kaimih he namah rhuh, kaimih he namah saa dae la he.
2 Also, in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou, wast he that led out and brought in, Israel, —and Yahweh said to thee—Thou, shalt be shepherd unto my people, Israel, and, thou, shalt become leader over Israel.
Hlaem hlavai kah Saul a om vaengah ni kaimih soah manghai la na om khaw na om rhoe coeng. Israel te a thak, a thak tih a pawk khaw a pawk puei. Te dongah ni BOEIPA loh namah taengah, 'Ka pilnam Israel te na luem puei vetih Israel soah rhaengsang la na om bitni,’ a ti pai,” a ti uh.
3 So all the elders of Israel came unto the king, in Hebron, and King David solemnised to them a covenant in Hebron, before Yahweh, —and they anointed David to be king over Israel.
Israel patong boeih loh Hebron la manghai te a paan uh. Te vaengah manghai David loh amih te Hebron ah moi a boh pah tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah David te Israel sokah manghai la a koelh uh.
4 Thirty years old, was David when he began to reign, —forty years, he reigned:
David a manghai vaengah kum sawmthum lo ca coeng tih kum sawmli khuiah manghai van.
5 in Hebron, reigned he over Judah, seven years, and six months, —and, in Jerusalem, reigned he thirty and three years, over all Israel and Judah.
Hebron ah Judah te kum rhih hla rhuk a manghai thil tih Jerusalem ah Israel neh Judah pum te kum sawmthum kum thum a manghai thil.
6 Then went the king and his men, to Jerusalem, against the Jebusites, inhabiting the land, —and they spake to David, saying—Thou canst not come in hither, unless thou take away the blind and lame—Thinking, David will not come in hither.
Manghai neh a hlang rhoek loh Jerusalem khohmuen khosa kung Jebusi te a caeh uh thil hatah David te a voek tih, “Hela na kun mahpawh, hela David kun boel saeh a ti coeng atah mikdael rhoek neh aka khaem rhoek long mah nang te n'haek thai,” a ti nah.
7 So then David captured the citadel of Zion, —the same, is the city of David.
Tedae David loh Zion rhalvong David khopuei te vik a loh.
8 And David said, on that day—Whosoever is smiting the Jebusites, then let him reach as far as the aqueduct. But, as for the lame and the blind, they were the hated of David’s soul, —for which cause, they kept on saying, Blind and lame! he will not enter the place.
Te khohnin ah David loh, “Aka khaem khaw, mikdael khaw, khat khat long khaw Jebusi aka ngawn tah tuikun khaw pha saeh,” a ti. Te khaw David kah a hinglu a hmuhuet, la a hmuhuet uh tih mikdael khokhaem loh, “Im khuila ha kun boel saeh,” a ti uh dongah ni.
9 So then David dwelt in the citadel, and called it, The City of David, —and David built round about, from Millo and inwards.
Rhalvong te David loh a om thil dongah David Khopuei la a khue. Te dongah vaikhap lamloh imkhui duela a kaepvai te David loh a sak.
10 And David went on and on waxing great, —Yahweh, God of hosts, being with him.
David a caeh a pongpa vaengah a pantai te caempuei Pathen BOEIPA loh anih a om puei dongah ni.
11 Then Hiram, king of Tyre, sent messengers unto David, with cedar-wood, and carpenters, and masons, and they built a house for David.
Tyre manghai Khiram loh David taengla puencawn a tueih tih lamphai thing, thing kutthai, pangbueng dongkah ham lungto kutthai neh David ham im a sak uh.
12 So David perceived that Yahweh had established him to be king over Israel, —and that he had exalted his kingdom, for the sake of his people Israel.
Israel sokah manghai la BOEIPA loh anih a thoh khaw, a pilnam Israel kong ah a ram a phoh te khaw David loh a ming.
13 And David took him yet more concubines and wives, out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron, and there were, yet further, born unto David, sons and daughters.
David loh yupuei yula muep a loh dongah Hebron lamkah Jerusalem la a pawk vaengah David ham capa neh canu khawk a sak pauh.
14 Now, these, are the names of the sons who were born unto him in Jerusalem, —Shammua and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon;
Jerusalem ah anih ham aka thaang rhoek a ming rhoek tah Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
15 and Ibhar and Elishua and Nepheg and Yaphia;
Ibhar, Elishua neh, Nepheg neh Japhia,
16 and Elishama and Eliada, and Eliphalet.
Elishama, Eliada neh Eliphelet.
17 And, when the Philistine heard that they had anointed David to be king over Israel, then came up all the Philistines to seek to secure David, and David heard of it, and went down into the citadel.
Israel sokah manghai la David a koelh uh te Philisti rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah David mae hamla Philisti rhoek boeih cet uh. Tedae David loh a yaak tih rhalvong la suntla thuk.
18 Now, the Philistines, had come, —and had spread themselves out in the vale of Rephaim.
Te vaengah Philisti rhoek ha pawk uh tih Rapha kol ah khawk taai uh.
19 So then David enquired of Yahweh, saying, —Shall I go up against the Philistines? Wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And Yahweh said unto David—Go up; for I, will surely deliver, the Philistines into thy hand.
David loh BOEIPA te a dawt tih, “Philisti te ka paan a yaa, amih te ka kut dongah nan tloeng aya?” a ti nah hatah BOEIPA loh David te, “Cet! Philisti te na kut dongah kam paek rhoe kam paek ni,” a ti nah.
20 And David entered Baal-perazim, and David smote them there, and said—Yahweh hath broken forth upon mine enemies, before me, like a breaking forth of waters. For this cause, called he the name of that place, Baal-perazim.
David te Baalperazim la cet tih amih te a ngawn. Te vaengah David loh, “Ka thunkha rhoek te BOEIPA loh ka mikhmuh ah tui puut bangla a va coeng,” a ti. Te dongah tekah hmuen te a ming Baalperazim la a khue.
21 And they left their images there, —and David and his men took them away.
Te vaengah a hnoo uh sut amih muei te David neh a hlang rhoek loh a koh uh.
22 And, yet again, did the Philistines come up, —and they spread themselves out in the vale of Rephaim.
Te phoeiah a rhaep la Philisti rhoek koep cet uh tih Rapha kol ah taai uh.
23 So David enquired of Yahweh, and he said—Thou shalt not go up, —Get round behind them, and come in upon them, over against the mulberry-trees.
Te vaengah David loh BOEIPA te a dawt hatah, “Cet boeh, a hnuk longah vael lamtah, amih te tikti rhaldan ah khoep cuuk.
24 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, then, shalt thou act with decision, —for, then, will Yahweh have gone forth before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.
Tikti soi ah haeksak ol na yaak la, na yaak coeng atah cuuk thil laeh. Philisti lambong tloek ham te na hmaiah BOEIPA cet coeng,” a ti nah.
25 And David did so, as Yahweh had commanded him, —and smote the Philistines, from Gibeon until thou enterest Gezer.
BOEIPA loh amah a uen bangla David loh a saii tih Philisti te a tloek tih Geba lamloh Gezer la pawk.
