< 2 Samuel 10 >

1 And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
To nathuem ah Ammon kaminawk ih siangpahrang to duek, anih zuengah a capa Hanun to siangpahrang ah oh.
2 Then said David, I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
David siangpahrang mah anih ih ampa loe ka nuiah tahmenhaih tawnh pongah, Nahash capa Hanun nuiah tahmenhaih ka tawnh toeng han angaih, tiah poek. Ampa duek pongah anih khaeah tahmenhaih amtuengsak hanah, a tamnanawk to patoeh. David ih tamnanawk Ammon prae thungah phak o.
3 And the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters to thee? hath not David rather sent his servants to thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?
To naah Ammon acaeng angraengnawk mah angmacae angraeng Hanun khaeah, David mah nampa duek pongah na nuiah tahmenhaih amtuengsak han ih ni a tamnanawk to patoeh, tiah na poek maw? Tamquta hoiah vangpui to khet moe, paro han ih na ai maw David mah a tamnanawk to patoeh, tiah a naa o.
4 Therefore Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
To pongah Hanun mah David ih kaminawk to naeh moe, toektaboe mui ahap aah pae o, khukbuen to laetabu khoek to aah pae pacoengah, patoeh ving.
5 When they told it to David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed: and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards are grown, and then return.
To kawng to David khaeah thuih pae o naah, nihcae to paroeai azatpawsak pongah, nihcae tongh hanah kaminawk to patoeh; siangpahrang mah toektaboe mui tacawt ai karoek to Jeriko vangpui ah om o raeh, to pacoengah amlaem oh, tiah a naa.
6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Bethrehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ishtob twelve thousand men.
Nihcae loe David han hmuisae ah ni oh o boeh, tiah Ammon kaminawk mah panoek o naah, Beth-Rehob vangpui hoi Zobah ih misatuh Syria kami sang pumphaeto tlai o; to pacoengah Makah siangpahrang ih misatuh kami sangto hoi Tob vangpui ih kami sang hatlaihnetto doeh tlai o let bae vop.
7 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
To tamthang to a thaih o naah, David mah Joab hoi misatuh kaminawk boih to patoeh.
8 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ishtob, and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
Ammon kaminawk loe misatuk hanah, angmacae vangpui khongkha ah atai o; to naah Zobah, Rehob hoi Tob vangpui ih Syria misatuh kaminawk hoi Makah siangpahrang ih kaminawk doeh angmacae koehah azawn ah amkhueng o.
9 When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:
Misanawk ahnuk ahmaa oh o boeh, tiah Joab mah hnuk naah, Israel thungah kahoih koek misatuh kaminawk to qoih moe, Syria kaminawk to tuksak;
10 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put them in array against the children of Ammon.
kalah misatuh kaminawk boih loe amnawk misatuh angraeng Abishai ban ah suek moe, Ammon kaminawk to tuksak.
11 And he said, If the Syrians shall be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon shall be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee.
Joab mah, Syria kaminawk loe kai hanah thacak o hmoek nahaeloe, kai abomh hanah angzo ah; toe Ammon kaminawk loe nang hanah thacak o hmoek nahaeloe, nang to kang bomh han hmang.
12 Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.
Thacaksak loe, aimacae kami hoi aimacae Sithaw ih vangpui hanah misahoihaih hoiah tuh o si; a mikhnukah hoih tih baktih toengah, Angraeng mah sah tih hmang, tiah a naa.
13 And Joab and the people that were with him, drew near, to the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.
To pacoengah Joab hoi a taengah kaom misatuh kaminawk loe, Syria misatuh kaminawk to tuk hanah caeh o; to naah nihcae ih misanawk loe anih hmaa ah cawnh o.
14 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. So Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
Syrianawk loe cawnh o boeh, tiah Ammon kaminawk mah hnuk o naah, nihcae doeh Abishai hmaa hoiah cawnh o moe, vangpui thungah akun o. To pongah Joab doeh Ammon prae hoiah amlaem moe, Jerusalem ah caeh.
15 And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together.
Israel kaminawk mah pazawk boeh, tiah Syrianawk mah panoek o naah, nihcae loe nawnto amkhueng o let.
16 And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river: and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.
Hadadezer mah vapui yaeh ih Syria kaminawk to kawk moe, Helam vangpui ah caehsak; Hadadezer ih misatuh angraeng Shobek mah nihcae to caeh haih.
17 And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.
To lok to David khaeah thuih pae o naah, Israel kaminawk to nawnto pakhueng pacoengah, Jordan vapui to angkat o moe, Helam vangpui ah caeh o; Syria kaminawk loe angphaeng o moe, David to tuk o.
18 And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew the men of seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there.
Toe Syria kaminawk loe Israel kaminawk hmaa ah cawnh o; David mah hrang lakok nuiah angthueng kami cumvai sarihto, khok hoi misatuh kami sang quipalito hum pae. Nihcae ih misatuh angraeng Shobek doeh hum o moe, to ah duek.
19 And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.
Israel kaminawk mah Hadadezer to pazawk boeh, tiah Hadadezer ih angraengnawk mah hnuk o naah, Israel kaminawk hoiah angdaehhaih to sak o moe, nihcae hanah tamna tok to sak pae o; to pongah Syrianawk mah Ammon kaminawk abomh hanah zit o boeh.
