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.

Hichun Israel mipite chu Hebron khopia David heng ah chun ahung uvin, keiho hi nangma tahsa tahle thisan kahiuve atiu vin ahi.

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.’”

Masang Saul leng ana hi laia jong nangma hi Israel te gal lamkai ana hijing jeng nahi, chule Pakai na Pathen in nasei pih banga nangma hi Israel mipi kelngoi chingpha le lamkai dia lhendoh nahi.

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.

Hiti chun Hebron mun’a chun David in Pakai le Israel upa ho masang ah kitepna theng ana sem in ahi. Hichea Pakai in Samuel kom’a anasei bang chun David chu Israel te dia leng ding in thaonu ana hin ahi.

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.

Chujouvin David le Israel mipi techun Jerusalem chulai phat’a jebus tiajong ana kihe mun chu ana nokhum un anasat uve. Hilai chu Jebus mite gamnei dihtah te chen na gam ahi.

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’.

Chule Jebus miten David chu akhopi sung’u alut ding ana nom povin ahi. Ahivang inla David in Zion kulpi tua David khopi tia kihe mun lai chu ana lotan ahi.

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.

David in asepai miho kom’a hitin asei e. Koi hijong leh Jebus mite kisat pia hinthat masa pen aumleh ka sepai jalamkai luboh’a pang ding ahi ati. Hichun Jebus mite hinsat’a that masapen in Joab kitipa David sopinu Zuriah chapa chu ahung hitoh kilhon in, David gal lamkai panmun masapen chu ana chang tan ahi.

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 in kulpi chu chenna in, amang in hichu David khopi tin akikou e.

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.

David in akhopi chu nisolam’a pat avel dung jouse chu akehlet be in ana semtoh in ahi. Chule Joab in amoh chengse chu ana semphan ahi.

9 David became more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping him.

Hatchung nung Pakaiyin apan pi jih’in David thaneina chu ahung hatdoh cheh cheh jeng in ahi.

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.

Amaho hi David galhang lamkai’a pang Israel mipi toh kitho khom a Pakaiyin ana kitep na banga David aleng diuva hin tungdoh ding ho chu ahiuve.

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 gal-hang lamkai minthang ho chu hiche ho hi ahiuve. Amasapen chu ahile Jashobeam kitipa Hachmon mi David gal hat mi thumho lah’a lamkai ahi. Amapa hin achemjam mangcha in akidoupi galmi mi jathum chu khatvei in ana that jou in ahi.

12 Another one was Eleazar, who was the son of Dodo from the clan of Ahoh.

Anina pen chu ahileh Ahoah son chilhah Dodai chapa Eleazar ahi.

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,

Amapa hi Pas-dam'mim a Philistine te ana kisat lai’u chun galmun’a hi David toh ana kitho khom lhon ahi. Chule hiche galmun hi sakol chang dimset ana ke khah jeh chun Israel mite chu anajam tauve.

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.

Ahivang in Eleazar le David hi galmun’a kon nung chon louvin Philistine mite chu anasat lhon in ahi. Chule Pakaiyin amani ana huhdoh in minthang tah in galjona sangtah jong ana chang lhon e.

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.

Sepai lamkai minthang somthum lah a thum hochu David Adulam songkoa anaum lai chun Raphiam phaicham a Philistine sepai ho toh ana kimu touvin ahi.

16 David was in a fortress, and some of the soldiers of Philistia were occupying Bethlehem.

David hi chuche phatlai chun akulpi sunga ana um'in ahi. Chule Philistine miten Bethlehem khopi anatou phaovin ahi.

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 in amite jah’a chun hitin aseije, Ohe koitabang eingailu toukhat aum a hiche Bethlehem kelkot phunga twitheng khu eigathal peh thei hile tin aseije.

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.

Hichun galhat lamkai thumho chun Philistine bang chu apal keh un, Bethlehem kulpia um twi chu David don ding in ahinle choi pih uve. Ahivang in David in hiche twi chu don louvin Pakai a ding joh in ana kat doh in ahi.

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.

Pathen in hiche twi hi kadon lou ding ahi. Ajeh chu hiche twi hi ahinkho phal ngam’a twi thal a che ho thisan mantam tah toh kibang ahi tin aseijin, David in twi chu anadon pon ahi. Hichu galhang mithum ho natoh lolhin na vetsahna ahi.

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.

Abi'shai hi Joab sopipa lamkai somthum ho lah a pang ahi. Amapa hin achem jam keoseh mangchan akidoupi agalmi mi jathum jen chu ana that jouvin ahi. Hichea kon chun galhat mithum ho bang in ahung minthang tan ahi.

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.

Abi'shai hi galhat mithum ho lah a apan jou lou vang'in mi somthum ho lah a hin lamkai minthang tah khat ahi.

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.

Jehoiada chapa Benaiah kiti galhang tah Kabzeel kho a kon mi khat jong ana um e, Amapa hin mihat tah ho natoh jong aboldoh in ahi hiche lah’a chu Moab mite galhang mini jong ana that in; chule buhbang lhah lai ni jingkah in jong Keipi bahkai khat jong ana that e.

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.

Aman achang seh in khetbuh mai mangchan Egypt galhang milentah asan dan feet sagi le akeh khat’a sang tengcha lentah kichoija galvon lhingset’a kivon pachu ana that in ahi. Benneah in Egypt mipa tengcha chu alah peh in, ama thanan anei e.

24 Those are some of the things that Benaiah did. So he became as famous as the three mighty warriors.

Hitobang thil nasatah ahinbol doh’a kon hin mi minthang galhang thumho bang in ahung loupi doh e.

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.

Hiti chun amahi mi thumho lah a apan lou vang'in somthum ho sang in, jana sangtah ana chang in chule David in ama vengtup a lamkai din apan sah tan ahi.
