2 Samuel 10
1 Some time later, the king of the Ammon people-group died, and his son Hanun became their king.
Hiche jouphat chomkhat jouvin, Ammon mite lengpa Nahash chu athitan, hijeh chun achapa Hanun kitipan Ammon mite chungah lengvai ahinpo tan ahi.
2 David thought, “Nahash was kind to me, so I will be kind to his son.” So David sent some officials there, to tell Hanun that David was sorry that Hanun’s father [had died]. When those messengers arrived in the land where the Ammon people-group lived,
Hichun David’in jong aseiyin, “Nahash chapa Hanun hi apan keima jana neitah a eina bol bang banga ken jong amahi jana neitah a kabol ding ahi,” tin anaseiye. Hijeh chun David’in jong sottolle ho asol’in Hanun chu apa thi jeh a lhem mong din asol peh e. ahin David sottolle ho chu Ammon mite gamsunga aga lhun phat un,
3 the leaders of the Ammon people-group said to Hanun, “Do you think that it is to honor your father that King David has sent these men to say that he is sorry that your father died [RHQ]? [We think that] he has sent them here to look around the city to determine how his [army] can conquer us!”
Ammon mite lamkai hon apupau Hanun koma chun aseiyuvin, ‘Nangman nagelthei mong hinam hiche mihohi napa jabol dinga hichemun hung ahi tia? Ahipoi! David’in khopi hi hunga suhgam ding agot jeh a sottolle hohi khopi sung kholtoh leh velhi le dinga ahinsol ahibouve tin aseipeh tauve.
4 Hanun [believed what they said; so he commanded some soldiers to] seize David’s officials and [insult them by] shaving off one side of each man’s beard, and [by] cutting off the lower part of their robes, [with the result that their buttocks could be seen], and then they sent them away.
Hijeh chun Hanun hin David sottolle ho chu abonchauvin aman in melse tah in akhamul akeh langkhat avo chaipeh soh keiyin, chule aponsilu le akivon nau akimlai tah akongbuh dontah achetan peh soh keijun jachat umtah in anungsol taovin ahi.
5 The men were very humiliated/ashamed, [so they did not want to return home]. When David found out about what had happened to his officials, he sent someone to tell them, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown again, and then return home.”
Hiti chun David sohte chunga thusoh ho David in ajahdoh phat in, amiteho thu gaseipih din mi asol tan ahi “Nakhamul’u akikhan lhit kit masang sen Jericho khopia hung umden unlang akikhan lhit tengle hung kile kit tauvin,” tin thu ahiltai. Ajeh chu amahohin alimsou chu ajachatpi mong mong u ahi.
6 Then [the leaders of] the Ammon people-group realized that they had greatly insulted [IDM] David [IDM]. So they sent some men to hire/pay some soldiers [from other nearby areas to help defend them]. They hired 20,000 soldiers from [the] Beth-Rehob and Zobah [regions northeast of Israel], and 12,000 soldiers from [the] Tob [region], and 1,000 soldiers from [the army of] the king of Maacah [region].
Chujouvin Ammon miten echangeija David chu asuh lunghang u akihet doh phat’uvin, Ammon mite akihou toh-uvin Bethrehob a cheng Syria mite leh Zobah a cheng Syria mite tol'a panga galsat sepai sang som ni thalah dingle, Maacah lengpa le amite sang khat thalah ding chule Tob mite sang som le sang ni thalah dingin mi asol tauve.
7 When David heard about that, he sent Joab with all of the army [that Joab commanded], to fight against them.
Hiche thusoh David lengpan ajah doh phat’in lamkai Joab le asepaite mihat chengse chu abonchauvin gal boldin asoltai.
8 The soldiers of the Ammon people-group marched out and (stood in their positions/arranged themselves for battle) at the entrance [to their capital city, Rabbah]. The other soldiers from Syria and Tob and Maacah stood by themselves (in their positions/arranged themselves for battle) in the nearby fields.
Chuin Ammon mite chu ahung kitoldoh’uvin kelkot phunga chun galsat din akigol tauve; chule Arameans mite Zobah le Rehob khoa kon leh Tob le Maacah mite chu mun onglen laiah akigol taovin ahi.
9 Joab saw that there were groups of enemy soldiers in front of his troops and behind his troops. So he chose some of the best Israeli soldiers, and put them in positions to fight against the soldiers of Syria.
Joab chun amasanglam le anunglama gal miten ating tan to tai, ti amudoh phat’in, Israel lah a mi son um lhentum cheh phabep alhengdoh in, Arameans mite dou din mun onglai ah apansah tai.
10 He appointed his [older] brother Abishai to be the commander of all the other soldiers, and he told them to (stand in their positions/arrange themselves) in front of [the army of] the Ammon people-group.
Chule mi amoh chengse chu asopipa Abishai lamkai peh din akoiyin, Abishaiyin asopite chengse chu Ammon mite toh kisat to din agol toh tai.
11 Then Joab said, “If the soldiers from Syria are too strong for us to defeat them, your men must come and help us. But if the soldiers from the Ammon people-group are too strong for you to defeat, we will come and help your men.
Chuin Joab’in aseitai, “Arameans mite hi Keima dinga ahat behseh jenguva ahileh nangman neihung kithopin lang, chule Ammon mite chu nang dinga ahatval behseh jenguva ahijongle keima hung ing ting nahung kithopi nange, ati.
12 We must be strong, and fight hard [IDM] to [defend] our people and the cities [(that belong to/where we worship)] our God. I will pray/request that Yahweh do what he considers to be good.”
Hijeh chun hangtah in hung pang uvin lang, imiteu ding leh i-Pathen’u khopi jouse din pasal jouse chu hatah in pangu hitin; chule Pakaiyin lungdei chu guilhung tahen,”ati.
13 So Joab and his army [advanced to] attack the army of Syria, and the soldiers from Syria ran away from them.
Hiti hin Joab le ama toh pang khom sepaiho chun Arameans mite chu asat pan un ahileh; Arameans mite chu ajamcheh gam tauvin ahi.
14 And when [the soldiers of] the Ammon people-group saw that the soldiers from Syria were running away, they also started to run away from Abishai and his army, and they retreated back inside the city. So Joab’s [army] stopped fighting against [the army of] the Ammon people-group, and Joab [and his army] returned to Jerusalem.
Arameans mite jam chu Ammon miten jong amudoh phat’uvin amaho jong chutobangma chun Abishai masanga ajam uvin akhopi sunga alhailut tauvin ahi. Hichun Ammon mite toh akisat nao vakon in Jo’ab jong Jerusalema ahung kile kit tan ahi.
15 After [the leaders of] the army of Syria saw that the Israeli army had defeated them, they gathered all their troops together.
Hichun Arameans miten Israel chate toh kidinte joulou ding ahiu chu ahin kihetdoh phat un ahung kithah gopkhom kit uvin,
16 [Their king, ] Hadadezer, summoned the soldiers of Syria who lived on the east side of the [Euphrates] River. They gathered at Helam [city]. Their commander was Shobach.
Hadadezer kitipan asol in Euphrates luipi gal a cheng Arameans mite aga kousah in ahileh, amaho jong Hadadezer sepai lamkaipa Shobach lamkai nan Helam geiyin ahung kitol’uvin Arameans mite ahinjop kit un ahi.
17 When David heard about that, he gathered all the Israeli soldiers, and they crossed the Jordan [River] and marched to Helam. There, the army of Syria (took their positions/arranged themselves for battle), and the battle started.
Chuin David in hitabang thil umchan chu ajah phat in, aman jong Israel chate pumpi akhom khom soh keiyin chule Jordan ahung galkaiyin Helam channah a sepai te ahin puilhung tan ahi. Hichun Arameans mite jong David lengpa dou din achamtah un anapang uvin akisatpi tauve.
18 But the soldiers of Syria ran away from the Israeli soldiers. David [and his army] killed 700 of their chariot-drivers and 40,000 other soldiers. They also wounded Shobach, their commander, and he died there.
Ahinlah Arameans mite chu Israel te masanga ajam kit tauvin ahi. hichea hin David sepai ten Arameans sepai sakol them ho mi jasagi le tol'a pang sepai sangsomli chule agal lamkaipau Shobach kitipa jaonan athat taovin ahi.
19 When all the kings who had been ruled by Hadadezer realized that they had been defeated by the Israeli [army], they made peace with the Israelis and agreed to accept David as their king. So [the army of] Syria was afraid to help [the army of] the Ammon people-group any more.
Chuin Lengte jousen Hadadezer toh akitho vang uva Israel te ajolou u amudoh phat un, Israel mite khut ah akipelut un amaho noijah aum taovin ahi. hichejou a pet chun Arameans mite chun Ammon mite kithopi ding chu akicha taovin ahi.
