1 Chronicles 11
1 Then the people of Israel came to David at Hebron [town] and said to him, “Listen, we have the same ancestors [IDM] that you have.
Israel pum te Hebron kah David taengla tingtun uh tih, “Kaimih he na rhuh neh na saa ni he.
2 In the past, when Saul was our king, it was you who led our Israeli [soldiers in our battles]. You are the one to whom Yahweh our God promised, ‘You will be the leader [MET] of my people; you will be their king.’”
Hlaem hlavai kah na manghai Saul a om vaengah pataeng Israel te na vuenva puei tih na kunael puei. Te dongah ni na Pathen BOEIPA loh namah taengah, “Nang tah ka pilnam Israel na luem puei vetih nang he ka pilnam Israel soah rhaengsang la na om ni, ' a ti,” a ti nauh.
3 So all the Israeli elders came to David at Hebron. And David made a sacred agreement with them while Yahweh was listening. They anointed him [with olive oil to set him apart] to be the king of the Israeli people. That is what Yahweh had previously told [the prophet] Samuel would happen.
Israel kah a ham boeih khaw Hebron kah manghai taengla pawk uh tih David loh amih neh Hebron kah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah paipi a saii. Te phoeiah Samuel kut dongkah BOEIPA ol vanbangla David te Israel sokah manghai la a koelh uh.
4 David and all the Israeli [soldiers] [SYN] went to Jerusalem. [At that time, ] Jerusalem was called Jebus, and the people who lived there were the Jebus people-group.
Te vaengah David neh Israel boeih tah Jebus Jerusalem la cet uh. Te khohmuen kah khosa rhoek tah Jebusi rhoek ni.
5 Those people said to David, “Your [soldiers] will not be able to get inside our city!” But David’s [soldiers] captured the city, even though it had strong walls around it, and since then it has been called ‘The City of David’.
Te vaengah Jebus kah khosa rhoek loh David te, “Hela ha kun boeh,” a ti nah. Tedae David loh David khopuei kah Zion rhalvong te a rhawt pah.
6 [What happened was this: ]: David said [to his soldiers], “The one who leads [our soldiers] to attack the Jebus people-group will become the commander of all my army.” Joab, the son of Zeruiah, led the soldiers, so he became the commander of all the army.
Te phoeiah David loh, “Lamhma la Jebusi aka ngawn boeih tah boeilu la, mangpa la om saeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Zeruiah capa Joab te lamhma la cet tih boeilu la pahoi om van.
7 [After they captured] the city which had strong walls around it, David moved there. That is why they named it ‘The City of David’.
David loh te kah rhalmahim ah kho a sak dongah ni David khopuei la a khue uh.
8 David’s workers rebuilt the city, starting where the land was filled in and extending to the wall that was around the city. Joab’s [men] repaired the other parts of the city.
Khopuei te a kaepvai kah vaikhap lamloh khotaeng khovai hil a thoh tih a caknoi khopuei te Joab loh a hing sak.
9 David became more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping him.
David te pongpa, pongpa tih a pantai vanbangla caempuei BOEIPA khaw anih taengah om.
10 Yahweh had promised [that David would become the king]. And all the Israeli people (were happy that David was/supported David as) their king. There were many soldiers/warriors who helped David’s kingdom to remain strong.
He tah a ram khuiah anih aka duel David kah boeilu hlangrhalh rhoek neh Israel sokah BOEIPA ol bangla anih aka manghai sak Israel cungkuem rhoek coeng ni.
11 This is a list of the leaders of David’s [most mighty] warriors: Jashobeam was from the Hacmon clan. He was one of the leaders of David’s most powerful soldiers. One time he fought against 300 enemies and killed them all with his spear.
David kah hlangrhalh hlangmi he tah sawmthum kah boeilu, rhalboei Hakhomi capa Jashobeam. Anih loh a caai te a haeng tih ya thum te voei khat la a rhokpam sak.
12 Another one was Eleazar, who was the son of Dodo from the clan of Ahoh.
Anih hmatoeng ah Akhohi Dodo capa Eleazar. Anih khaw hlangrhalh pathum khuikah ni.
13 [One day] he was with David at Pas Dammim when the soldiers of Philistia gathered there for the battle. There was a field of barley there. At first the Israeli soldiers ran away from the soldiers of Philistia,
Anih te Pasdammin ah khaw David taengah ni a om. Te vaengah Philisti rhoek tah caemtloek la pahoi tingtun uh. Lohma kah khamyai te cangtun khawk om pueng dae pilnam tah Philisti mikhmuh lamloh rhaelrham uh.
14 but then David and Eleazar stopped in the middle of the field and fought to defend it and killed [many of] the soldiers of Philistia. Yahweh enabled them to win a great victory on that day.
Lohma li ah pai uh tih khohmuen te a huul uh. Te dongah Philisti te a ngawn uh vaengah khaw BOEIPA loh loeihnah a len neh a khang.
15 One time three of David’s thirty most mighty warriors came to David when he was camping next to the huge rock outside the cave near Adullam. At that same time, the army of Philistia had camped in the Rephaim Valley.
Boeilu sawmthum lamkah pathum te Adullam lungko lungpang kah David taengla a suntlak uh vaengah Philisti caem tah Rephaim kol ah rhaeh uh.
16 David was in a fortress, and some of the soldiers of Philistia were occupying Bethlehem.
David te rhalvong ah a om kuelhuelh vaengah Philisti khohung te Bethlehem ah om van.
17 [One day] David was very thirsty and said, “I wish that someone would bring me some water from the well near the gate at Bethlehem!”
David loh Bethlehem vongka kah tuito lamkah tui te a ngaidam, a ngaidam vaengah tah, “Kai he u long nim n'tul lah ve?” a ti.
18 So those three most outstanding warriors forced their way through the camp of Philistia soldiers and drew some water from the well, and brought it to David. But he would not drink it. Instead, he poured it out [on the ground to be an offering] to Yahweh.
Pathum long te Philisti rhaehhmuen te a va uh tih vongka taengkah Bethlehem tuito lamkah tui te a than uh. Te phoeiah a khuen uh tih David taengla pawk uh. Tedae David loh te te a ok ham huem pawt tih BOEIPA ham a suep.
19 He said, “Yahweh, it would certainly not be right for me to drink this water! That would be like [RHQ] drinking the blood of these men who were willing/ready to die for me!” So he refused to drink it. That was one of the things that those three most outstanding warriors did.
Te phoeiah, “He saii ham he kamah lamkah khaw, ka Pathen taeng lamkah khaw savisava saeh. A hinglu te a kun puei uh coeng dongah hinglu dongkah hlang thii he a ka ok eh?” a ti. Te dongah hlangrhalh pathum loh a saii pah te ok hamla huem pawh.
20 Joab’s [younger] brother Abishai was the leader of the 30 most mighty warriors. [One time] Abishai fought 300 [enemy] soldiers with his spear and killed them.
Te vaengah Joab mana Abishai tah te rhoek pathum kah a lu la om. Anih loh a caai a haeng tih ya thum te a rhokpam sak. Te dongah pawt nim anih te pathum lakli ah ming a om.
21 So he became as famous as those three most outstanding warriors. He became their commander, even though he was not one of those three men.
Pathum lakah khaw rhaep nit la a thangpom tih amih taengah mangpa la a om coeng dongah pathum lakli ah mop voel pawh.
22 Jehoiada’s son Benaiah was a brave soldier from Kabzeel [town] who did heroic deeds. He killed two of the best warriors from [the] Moab [people-group]. One day he went down into a pit when snow was falling [on the ground] and killed a lion there.
Kabzeel lamkah bisai aka ping, tatthai hlang capa, Jehoiada koca Benaiah loh Moab kah sathueng hlang rhoi te a tloek. Te phoeiah anih te vuelsong khohnin ah khaw suntla tih tangrhom khui kah sathueng te a ngawn bal.
23 He also killed a soldier from Egypt who was (7-1/2 feet/2.3 meters) tall. The soldier from Egypt carried a spear that was as long as a weaver’s rod. Benaiah had [only] a club, but he grabbed the other man’s spear and killed him with it.
Anih loh Egypt hlang te khaw a ngawn. Tekah hlang te cungnueh ah dong nga lo. Egypt kut dongkah caai te hni tak kah tampai bangla om. Tedae anih te conghol neh a suntlak thil mai tih Egypt kut lamkah caai te a rhawth pah. Te phoeiah amah caai neh amah te a ngawn.
24 Those are some of the things that Benaiah did. So he became as famous as the three mighty warriors.
He tlam he Jehoiada capa Benaiah loh a saii dongah ni anih te a ming khaw hlangrhalh pathum lakah a om.
25 He was more honored than the other members of the group of thirty most mighty warriors, but he did not become a member of the group of three most outstanding warriors. David appointed him to be the leader of his bodyguards.
Sawmthum lakah khaw anih te amah la thangpom coeng ne. Tedae pathum taengla a mop thai voel pawt dongah anih te David loh a taengom la a khueh.
