2 Samuel 23
1 Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse saith, And the man who was raised on high saith, The anointed of the God of Jacob, And the sweet psalmist of Israel:
Hetnaw teh a hnukteng Devit ni lawk a dei e naw doeh. Jesi capa Devit a rasangnae koe tawmrasang e lah ao teh, Jakop Cathut ni satui a awi e, Isarel hanelah la kahawi ka phuengkung ni hettelah a dei.
2 The Spirit of Jehovah spake by me, And his word was upon my tongue.
BAWIPA e Muitha ni kai hno lahoi a dei. A lawk teh ka lai dawk ao.
3 The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spake to me: One that ruleth over men righteously, That ruleth in the fear of God,
Isarel Cathut Isarel lungsong ni, kai koevah a dei. Taminaw kaukkung teh, a lan roeroe vaiteh, Cathut taki nalaihoi a uk han.
4 [He shall be] as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, A morning without clouds, [When] the tender grass [springeth] out of the earth, Through clear shining after rain.
Khopâui hoeh, kanî ka tâcawt e amom e angnae patetlah thoseh, khorak hnukkhu, kanî a tâco teh talai dawk hoi phokahring ka cawn e patetlah thoseh ao han.
5 Verily my house is not so with God; Yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, Ordered in all things, and sure: For it is all my salvation, and all [my] desire, Although he maketh it not to grow.
Ka imthung teh Cathut hoeh laipalah nakunghai, a yungyoe lawkkamnae kai hoi ka sak roi toe. Hote lawkkam teh tangka kuep hoeh nakunghai, kaie rungngangnae hoi kai ni ka ngainae lah ao.
6 But the ungodly shall be all of them as thorns to be thrust away, Because they cannot be taken with the hand;
Kai cungkeihoehe taminaw teh, tâkhawng e pâkhig patetlah ao. Bangkongtetpawiteh kut hoi la thai lah awm hoeh.
7 But the man that toucheth them Must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear: And they shall be utterly burned with fire in [their] place.
Ka tek e tami ni sum hoi tahroe hah hno han a ngai. Hahoi teh, amamae hmuen dawk hmai hoi koung sawi lah ao han telah na pato a ti.
8 These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite, against eight hundred slain at one time.
Hetnaw heh Devit e athakaawme taminaw doeh. Takhemon tami Joshebbashebeth teh ransa kacuenaw thung dawk kacuepoung e lah ao. Ahni teh tahroe hah a sin teh, tami 800 touh vaitalahoi a thei.
9 And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodai the son of an Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away.
Ahni hnuk vah, Aho capa Dodo, Dodo capa Eleazar doeh. Ahni teh taran ka tuk hanelah kamkhueng e Filistinnaw hoi a kâtâ awh lahun hah, Isarelnaw koung a yawng navah, Devit koe e athakaawme taminaw kathum touh thung dawk e buet touh lah ao.
10 He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword; and Jehovah wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take spoil.
Ahni teh a thaw teh, Filistinnaw koe a kut a pho teh a kut nget a tawn totouh Filistinnaw hah a bouk. Hot hnin vah BAWIPA ni lentoenae lahoi a tâ pouh. Ahnimanaw teh tarannaw e hnopai hah a la hanelah doeh a ban awh toe.
11 And after him was Shammah the son of Agee a Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines.
Ahni hnuk vah, Hararite tami Agee capa Shammah doeh. Baphoungkung a thanae hmuen koe Filistinnaw a kamkhueng awh teh, taminaw ni Filistinnaw a yawng takhai awh.
12 But he stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and slew the Philistines; and Jehovah wrought a great victory.
Ahni teh hote hmuen koe a kangdue teh a ring. Filistin tami hah a thei teh, BAWIPA ni kalenpounge tânae a poe.
13 And three of the thirty chief men went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam; and the troop of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
Ransa tarankahawi e thung dawk 30 touh a cathuk awh teh, canganae tueng dawk, Devit aonae koe Adullam talungkhu dawk a cei awh teh, Filistin ransanaw teh Rephaim yawn dawk a tungpup awh.
14 And David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Beth-lehem.
Hatnae tueng navah, Devit teh rapan dawk ao teh, Filistinnaw teh Bethlehem kho vah ao awh.
15 And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Beth-lehem, which is by the gate!
Devit ni dik a doun nalaihoi Bethlehem e tuikhu tui rapan teng e hah nei hane na kapoekung awm haw pawiteh aw telah a ti.
16 And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto Jehovah.
Athakaawme taminaw kathum touh ni Filistin ransahu pat a raka teh rapan teng e Bethlehem kho e tuikhu tui hah a do awh. Devit koe a ceikhai awh teh, ahni ni net ngai hoeh. BAWIPA e hmaitung vah a rabawk.
17 And he said, Be it far from me, O Jehovah, that I should do this: [shall I drink] the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.
Oe BAWIPA hete tui heh kai ni ka net mahoeh. Due hane hai taket laipalah kacetnaw e thi phu hah ka nei han namaw, telah ati. Net laipalah ao. Athakaawme taminaw kathum touh e ni a sak awh e doeh.
18 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred and slew them, and had a name among the three.
Zeruiah capa Joab e a hmaunawngha Abshai teh kathum touh thung dawk kacuepoung lah ao. A tahroe hoi tami 300 touh a thei dawkvah, kathum touh thung dawk minhawinae a hmu.
19 Was he not most honorable of the three? therefore he was made their captain: howbeit he attained not unto the [first] three.
Kathum touh thung dawkvah, oup hane nahoehmaw. Hatdawkvah, kacue e lah ao. Hateiteh, a hmaloe e tarankahawi e ransanaw phat hoeh.
20 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, he slew the two [sons of] Ariel of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.
Kebzeel tami tarankahawi capa Jehoiada capa Binaiah ni thaonae hno moikapap a sak. Moab tami a min kamthang sendek patet e tami kahni touh a thei. Kasik thapa dawk hai alouk lae lungngoum thung kaawm e sendek hah a thei.
21 And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and slew him with his own spear.
Tami kalenpounge Izip tami hah a thei. Izip tami ni tahroe a sin eiteh, Benaiah ni sonron dueng hah a sin teh, a cei. Izip tami e a kut dawk e tahroe a lawp teh hot e tahroe hoi ama hah a thei.
22 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had a name among the three mighty men.
Jehoiada capa Benaiah niteh, hot patet lae hno hah a sak dawkvah, athakaawme taminaw kathum touh thung dawk minhawinae a hmu.
23 He was more honorable than the thirty, but he attained not to the [first] three. And David set him over his guard.
Tami 30 touh hlak bari hane kawi lah ao. Hateiteh, ahmaloe e kathum touh phat hoeh. Devit ni ama karingkungnaw e kacue lah a hruek.
24 Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of Beth-lehem,
