< 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.
Hathnukkhu, Ammon siangpahrang teh a due. A capa Hanun ni a na pa e yueng lah siangpahrang a tawk.
2 And David said, I will shew kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed 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.
Devit ni Hanun e a na pa Nahash teh kai koe ahawinae a sak dawkvah, pahrennae ka kamnue sak van han telah ati. A na pa a due nah lungpahawi hanelah a sannaw a patoun teh, Devit e sannaw teh Ammonnaw e ram koe a pha awh.
3 And the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, Is it, in thine eyes, to honour thy father that David has sent comforters to thee? Is it not to search the city and to spy it out, and to overthrow it, that David has sent his servants to thee?
Ammon miphun kacuenaw ni amamae a bawipa Hanun koevah, Devit ni na barilawa dawkvah, nang koe lungmawng nahanelah, tami a patoun e na yuem maw. Devit ni hete khopui a raphoe thai nahan ka tuet hanelah nang koe a patoun awh nahoehmaw telah atipouh awh.
4 And Hanun took David's servants, and had the one half of their beards shaved off, and their raiment cut off in the midst, as far as their buttocks, and sent them away.
Hanun ni Devit e a sannaw a man teh, a pâkhamuen tangawn a ngaw pouh. A khohna hai a laheibaw totouh a a pouh hnukkhu a cei sak.
5 And they told [it] to David; and he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Abide at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
Hote kamthang hah Devit ni a thai toteh, ahnimanaw teh a kaya poung dawkvah, ahnimanaw dawn sak hanelah a patoun teh, nangmouh teh pâkhamuen a saw hoehroukrak Jeriko kho dawkvah awm awh. Hahoi torei bout tho awh telah atipouh.
6 And the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David; and the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-Rehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah [with] a thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.
Ammonnaw ni vah, maimouh teh Devit e hmaitung panuettho e lah o awh han tie a panue awh teh, taminaw a patoun awh teh, Bethrekhob kho hoi Aramzobah kho e Siria ransa 20,000, hoi siangpahrang Maakah e tami 1,000, hoi Tob ram e tami 12,000 touh hah a hlai awh.
7 And David heard [of it], and he sent Joab, and all the host, the mighty men.
Devit ni hote kamthang a thai toteh, Joab hoi athakaawme ransanaw hah a patoun.
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 the men of Tob and Maacah were by themselves in the field.
Ammonnaw hah a tâco awh teh, kho longkha koe a tungpup awh. Aramzobah kho, Rehob, Tob kho hoi ka tho e Siria tami hoi Maakah siangpahrang e taminaw teh aloukcalah law vah ao awh.
9 And Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind; and he chose out of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians;
A hnukhma lahoi tuk hane na kâcai awh tie Joab ni a thai navah, Isarelnaw thung dawk hoi kahawi kahawi e a rawi teh, Sirianaw tuk hanelah namranlah a tumpup awh.
10 and the rest of the people he gave into the hand of Abishai his brother that he might array them against the children of Ammon.
Aloukenaw pueng hah a hmaunawngha Abisai kut dawk koung a hruek teh, Ammon tami tuk hanelah a tumpup sak awh.
11 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me; and if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee.
Siria taminaw ni kai na tâ pawiteh, nangmouh ni na kabawp han. Ammonnaw ni nangmanaw na tâ pawiteh, kaimouh ni na kabawp han.
12 Be strong, and let us shew ourselves valiant for our people and for the cities of our God; and Jehovah do what is good in his sight.
Tarankahawi lah awm awh. Ka taminaw hoi mamae Cathut khonaw hanelah thapatung awh nateh, tuk awh. BAWIPA ni a ngainae patetlah a sak han doeh atipouh.
13 And Joab drew near, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians; and they fled before him.
Ama koe kaawm e taminaw hoi Siria taminaw tuk hanelah a pâtam awh teh, Sirianaw a yawng awh.
14 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians fled, they fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. And Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
Sirianaw a yawng awh e Ammonnaw ni a hmu awh navah, ahnimouh hai Abisai hmalah a yawng awh teh, kho thung vah a kâen awh. Joab hai Ammon ram hoi a tâco teh Jerusalem kho lah a cei.
15 And when the Syrians saw that they were routed before Israel, they gathered themselves together.
Sirianaw ni Isarelnaw e a hmalah amamanaw a sung e a kâpanue awh navah bout a kamkhueng awh.
16 And Hadarezer sent, and drew forth 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 ni tami a patoun teh, tui namran lah kaawm e Sirianaw a thokhai teh, Hadadezer ransa kacue e Shobak ni a hrawi awh teh, Helam kho lah a cei awh.
17 And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.
Hote kong Devit koe a dei pouh. Isarelnaw pueng koung a pâkhueng teh, Jordan tui a raka awh teh, Helam kho a pha awh. Sirianaw ni Devit tuk hanelah a kampawp awh teh a tuk awh.
18 And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven hundred [in] chariots, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there.
Sirianaw teh Isarelnaw e hmalah hoi a yawng awh. Devit ni Siria tami leng dawk kâcuinaw 700 hoi marangransanaw 40,000 touh a thei. Ransabawi Shobak hai a thei awh teh hawvah a due.
19 And all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were routed before Israel, and they made peace with Israel, and served them. And the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.
Hadadezer koe san ka toung e siangpahrangnaw pueng teh, Isarelnaw e hmaitung vah amamanaw a sung e a kâpanue awh navah, Isarelnaw hoi roumnae a sak awh teh, a thaw a tawk pouh awh. Hottelah Sirianaw ni Ammonnaw hah bout kabawm ngai awh hoeh toe.
