1 Dungkrhoekhaih 11
1 Israel kaminawk loe David khaeah Hebron ah angzoh o boih moe, kaicae loe nang ih ahuh hoi athii angan ah ni ka oh o.
Then all Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “Look, we are your flesh and bone.
2 Canghniah Saul siangpahrang ah oh naah mataeng doeh, nangmah ni Israel kaminawk to na zaeh; to naah na Angraeng Sithaw mah nang khaeah, Kai ih kami Israelnawk hae na pacah ueloe, kai ih kami Israelnawk ukkung ah na om tih, tiah ang thuih boeh, tiah a thuih pae o.
In the recent past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led the Israelite army. Yahweh your God said to you, 'You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become a ruler over my people Israel.'”
3 Israel kacoehtanawk David khaeah Hebron ah angzoh o boih pacoengah, David mah Hebron ah nihcae hoi Angraeng hmaa ah lokmaihaih to sak; to pacoengah Angraeng mah Samuel khaeah suek ih lok baktih toengah, David to Israel siangpahrang ah suek o.
So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them before Yahweh. They anointed David king over Israel. In this way, the word of Yahweh that had been declared by Samuel came true.
4 David hoi Israelnawk boih Jerusalem (Jebus) ah caeh o; to ahmuen ah kaom kaminawk loe Jebus kami ah oh o.
David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus). Now the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.
5 Jebus ah kaom kaminawk mah David khaeah, Hae thungah na kun thai mak ai, tiah a naa o; toe David mah David ih vangpui, tiah kawk ih, Zion ih misa abuephaih kacak parai sipae to lak.
The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will not come in here.” But David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David.
6 David mah, Kamianwk khaeah Jebus kaminawk tuh hmaloe kami loe, misatuh angraeng ah om tih, tiah a naa. Zeruiah capa Joab loe hmaloe ah angthawk moe, a caeh, to pongah anih loe misatuh angraeng ah oh.
David had said, “Whoever attacks the Jebusites first will become chief and commander.” So Joab son of Zeruiah attacked first, so he was made the chief.
7 David mah misa abuephaih sipae kaom ahmuen to a ohhaih ahmuen ah sak pongah, David ih vangpui, tiah kawk o.
Then David began to live in the stronghold. So they called it the city of David.
8 Anih mah Millo, tiah kawk ih ahmuen hoi a taeng boih ah vangpui to sak; kalah vangpuinawk loe Joab mah sak pakhraih.
He built the city all around from the Millo and back to the surrounding wall. Joab restored the rest of the city.
9 Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah oh haih pongah, David loe len aep aep.
David became greater and greater because Yahweh of hosts was with him.
10 Israel kaminawk khaeah Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, David to siangpahrang ah suek hanah, prae thungah kaom thacak ukkungnawk hoi Israel kaminawk boih mah anih to thapaek o.
These were the leaders David had, who showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, obeying the word of Yahweh concerning Israel.
11 Hae kaminawk loe David ih thacak kami ah oh o; Hakmon acaeng, Jashobeam loe misatuh angraengnawk ukkung ah oh; anih loe tayae hoiah misa cumvai thumtonawk to vaito ah hum boih.
This is a list of David's mighty men: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, was commander of the officers. He killed three hundred men with his spear on one occasion.
12 Anih pacoengah Ahoah acaeng, Dodo capa Eleazar doeh thacak kami thumto thungah athum toeng.
After him was Eleazar son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.
13 Philistinnawk loe misatuk hanah barli cang patithaih lawk hmuen ah amkhueng o, to naah Eleazar loe David hoi nawnto Pas-Dammim ah oh; Israel caanawk loe Philistinnawk hmaa hoiah cawn o king.
He was with David at Pas Dammim, and there the Philistines assembled together for battle, where there was a barley field and the army fled from the Philistines.
14 Toe nihcae loe lawk um ah anghawk o moe, Philitinnawk to a hum o, Angraeng mah nihcae to pahlong moe, loihaih to paek.
They stood in the middle of the field. They defended it and cut down the Philistines and Yahweh rescued them with a great victory.
15 Misatuh angraeng quithumto thung ih thumtonawk loe, David ohhaih thlungkhaw, Adullam ah caeh o tathuk; Philistinnawk loe Rephaim azawn ah atai o.
Then three of the thirty leaders went down to the rock to David, to the cave of Adullam. The army of the Philistines was camped in the Valley of Rephaim.
16 David loe kacak misa abuephaih im ah oh, Philistin misatuh kaminawk loe Bethlehem ah oh o.
At that time David was in his stronghold, a cave, while the Philistines had established their camp at Bethlehem.
17 David mah tui anghaeh naah, Aw, mi mah maw Bethlehem khongkha taeng ih tuibap tui to na thak tih? tiah thuih.
David was longing for water and said, “If only someone would give me water to drink from the well at Bethlehem, the well that is by the gate!”
18 To pongah to ah kaom kami thumtonawk mah Philistinnawk to muk o moe, Bethlehem khongkha taeng ih tuibap tui to dok o moe, David khaeah sin pae o; toe David mah nae pae ai; Angraeng hmaa ah a kraih pae ving,
So these three mighty men broke through the army of the Philistines and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, the well at the gate. They took the water and brought it to David, but he refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out to Yahweh.
19 hae tui ka naek hanah, Sithaw mah ang pakaa: angmacae hinghaih mataeng doeh paawt ai ah paek kaminawk ih athii to ka naek han maw? tiah a thuih. To kaminawk loe angmacae hinghaih angpaekhaih hoiah ni tui to sin pae o. To pongah anih tui to nae pae ai. Hae ih thacak kami thunmtonawk loe to tiah tok to sak o.
Then he said, “May it be that I should never do this! Should I drink the blood of these men who have risked their lives?” Because they had put their lives at risk, David refused to drink it. These were the deeds of the three mighty men.
20 Joab ih amnawk Abishai loe, nihcae thumto zaehoikung ah oh; anih loe tayae to sinh moe, kami cumvai thumto hum; to pongah anih doeh misahoih kami thumto thungah ahmin athum toeng.
Abishai brother of Joab was captain over the Three. He once used his spear against three hundred and killed them. He is mentioned along with the Three.
21 Anih loe thacak kami thumto thung ih hnetto pongah ahmin pakoeh o kue pongah, anih loe thumto kaminawk ukkung ah oh; toe hmaloe ih thumto kaminawk to pha ai.
Of the Three, he was given double honor and became their captain, even though he was not one of them.
22 Kabzeel vangpui ih kami, misahoih Jehoiada capa Benaiah loe, kaipui hoi kanghmong Moab kami hnetto a hum; dantui krak nathuem ah doeh longkhaw thungah kaom kaipui to a hum bae vop.
Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a brave warrior from Kabzeel, who did great deeds. He killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down into a pit and killed a lion on a day when the snow was falling.
23 Somsang kahoih, dong pangato kasang, Izip kami maeto doeh a hum let bae; Izip kami loe a ban ah camprai tetto kaom tayae to sinh, toe Benaiah mah anih to thingboeng hoiah pangh moe, Izip kami ban ih tayae to a lomh pacoengah, angmah ih tayae hoiah a hum.
He even killed an Egyptian, a man five cubits tall. The Egyptian had a spear like a weaver's beam, but he went down to him with only a staff. He seized the spear out of the Egyptian's hand and killed him with his own spear.
24 Jehoiada capa Benaiah mah to tiah hmuennawk to sak; anih doeh thacak thumto kaminawk baktiah ahmin amthang toeng.
Benaiah son of Jehoiada did these feats, and he was named alongside the three mighty men.
25 Khenah, anih loe kami quithumto thungah minawk mah pakoeh ih kami ah oh; toe hmaloe ih thumto kaminawk to pha ai; to pongah David mah anih to angmah misa toep kami ah suek.
He was more highly regarded than the thirty soldiers in general, but he was not regarded quite as highly as the three mighty men. Yet David put him in charge of his bodyguard.
