1 Kum a thok tue kah manghai a pawk tue vaengah tah Joab loh tatthai caempuei te a hmaithawn tih Ammon koca kah khohmuen te a phae pah. Te phoeiah cet tih Rabbah te a dum. David te Jerusalem ah kho a sak vaengah Joab loh Rabbah te a tloek tih a koengloeng.
And it came to pass, at the time of the turn of the year, at the time of the going forth of kings, that Joab led forth the force of the army, and laid waste the land of the sons of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah, but, David, was tarrying in Jerusalem, —and Joab smote Rabbah, and overthrew it.
2 David loh amih kah manghai rhuisam te a lu dong lamloh a loh pah. Te te a khiing sui talent khat lo tih a khuiah lung vang om. Te tah David lu dongah om tih khopuei kah kutbuem a khuen khaw bahoeng yet.
And David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it weighed a talent of gold, and, therein, were precious stones, and it was [set] on the head of David, —and, the spoil of the city, brought he forth, in great abundance;
3 A khuikah pilnam te khaw a khuen tih hlawh taengah, thi yoeng taengah, hlawh te a ah sak. Te tlam te David loh Ammon koca rhoek kah khopuei boeih te a saii. Te phoeiah ni David neh a pilnam boeih te Jerusalem la a mael pueng.
and, the people that were therein, brought he forth, and cut with the saw and with threshing sledges of iron and with axes, thus also, used David to do unto all the cities of the son of Ammon, —and David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
4 A hnukah khaw Gezer ah Philisti neh caemtloek koep puek bal. Te vaengah Khushathi Sibbekhai loh Rapha cahlah lamkah Sippai te a ngawn sak tih a kunyun sakuh.
And it came to pass, after this, that there was yet again a battle in Gezer, with the Philistines, —then, Sibbecai the Hushathite smote Sippai of the children of the giants, and they were subdued.
5 Te phoeiah Philisti neh caemtloek om bal tih Jair kah Jair capa Elhanan loh Ghitti Goliath mana Lahmi te a ngawn. Anih kah caai tueng te hni tak kah tampai bangla om.
And there again came to be a battle with the Philistines, —and Elhanan son of Jair smote Lahmi, brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear, was like a weaver’s beam.
6 Gath ah caemtloek om bal tih cungkui hlang kaw om. A kutdawn khodawn parhuk, parhuk neh pakul pali lo. Anih khaw Rapha lamkah ca sak ni.
And there again came to be war with Gath, —where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes, six on each hand and foot, were four and twenty, and, he also, had been born unto the giant.
7 Israel te a veet dongah anih te David maya Shimea capa Jonathan loh a ngawn.
But, when he reproached Israel, Jonathan, son of Shimea brother of David, smote him.
8 Rapha lamkah a sak rhoek he Gath ah David kut neh a sal rhoek kut ah cungku uh.
These, were born unto the giant in Gath, —but they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
