2 Samuel 8
1 After this it came about that David attacked the Philistines and defeated them. So David took Metheg Ammah from the control of the Philistines.
David loh Philisti te a ngawn tih amih te a hnah daengah Philisti kut lamkah Ammah Metheg te David loh a loh.
2 Then he defeated Moab and measured their men with a line by making them lie down on the ground. He measured off two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. So the Moabites became servants to David and began to pay him tribute.
Moab te a tloek tih rhui a toe thil phoeiah amih te diklai la a yalh sak. Te vaengah ngawn hamla than hnih te a khueh tih than at a hing la boeih a khueh. Te dongah Moab tah David taengah sal la om tih khocang te a thak. Te dongah Moab loh David kah sal a bi tih mangmu a paek.
3 David then defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, the king of Zobah, as Hadadezer was traveling to recover his rule by the Euphrates River.
Anih kut lamkah loh Perath tuiva phai te lat hamla Zobah manghai Rehob capa Hadadezer te a caeh vaengah David loh a tloek.
4 David captured from him 1,700 chariots and twenty thousand footmen. David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them for a hundred chariots.
Te vaengah David loh marhang caem thawngkhat ya rhih, rhalkap hlang thawng kul a tuuk pah. Te vaengah David loh leng yakhat te amah ham a paih tih a tloe leng boeih te tah boeih a haih.
5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand Aramean men.
Zobah manghai Hadadezer bom hamla Damasku long khaw a paan dae Aram hlang thawng kul thawng hnih te David loh a ngawn.
6 Then David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became servants to him and brought him tribute. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.
David loh Damasku ah khohung a khueh. Te dongah Aram tah David taengah khocang aka thak sal la om. David te a caeh nah boeih ah BOEIPA loh a khang.
7 David took the golden shields that were on Hadadezer's servants and brought them to Jerusalem.
Te phoeiah Hadadezer sal rhoek taengah aka om sui photling te David loh a loh tih Jerusalem la a khuen.
8 From Tebah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took very much bronze.
Hadadezer khopuei Betah lamkah neh Berothai lamkah rhohum te yet te manghai David loh kang a khuen.
9 When Tou, king of Hamath, heard that David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer,
Hadadezer kah tatthai boeih te David loh a ngawn coeng tila Khamath manghai Toi loh a yaak.
10 Tou sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him, because David had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him, and because Hadadezer had waged war against Tou. Hadoram brought with himself objects of silver, gold, and bronze.
Te dongah Toi loh a capa Joram te manghai David taengla a tueih tih sading kawng te a dawt sak. Toi amah khaw Hadadezer kut dongah ana om coeng dongah Hadadezer a vathoh thil tih anih kah caemtloek hlang a ngawn pah te a uem coeng. Te vaengah hnopai la cak, sui neh rhohum te a khuen pah.
11 King David set aside these objects to Yahweh, together with the silver and gold from all the nations that he conquered—
Manghai David loh namtom boeih taeng lamkah a hoep tih a khoem cak neh sui te khaw,
12 from Aram, Moab, the people of Ammon, the Philistines, and Amalek, along with all of the plundered goods of Hadadezer son of Rehob, the king of Zobah.
Aram lamkah, Moab lamkah, Ammon koca taeng lamkah, Philisti lamkah, Amalek lamkah, Zobah manghai Rehob capa Hadadezer kutbuem khui lamkah te khaw BOEIPA taengah a ciim.
13 David's name was well known when he returned from conquering the Arameans in the Valley of Salt, with their eighteen thousand men.
Kolrhawk ah Aram hlang thawng hlai rhet a ngawn tih a mael vaengah David ming te om coeng.
14 He placed garrisons throughout all of Edom, and all the Edomites became servants to him. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.
Te phoeiah khohung rhoek te Edom ah a khueh. Edom tom ah khohung rhoek a khueh coeng dongah Edom te David taengah sal la boeih om. David te a caeh nah boeih ah BOEIPA loh a khang.
15 David reigned over all Israel, and he administered justice and righteousness to all his people.
David loh Israel pum te a manghai thil coeng. David a om vaengah a pilnam boeih taengah duengnah neh a tiktam la a saii.
16 Joab son of Zeruiah was the commander of the army, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was recorder.
Zeruiah capa Joab te caempuei soah, Ahilud capa Jehoshaphat te khocil aka khoem la,
17 Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests, and Seraiah was scribe.
Ahitub capa Zadok neh Abiathar capa Ahimelek te khosoih la, Seraiah te cadaek la,
18 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was in charge of the Kerethites and Pelethites, and David's sons were the chief officials at the king's hand.
Jehoiada capa Benaiah, Kerethi, Phelethi neh David capa rhoek tah khosoih la om uh.
