1 Chronicles 20
1 [In that region], kings usually went [with their armies] to fight [their enemies] (in the springtime/when the cold season ended). But that year, David [did not do that. Instead, he] stayed in Jerusalem, and he sent [his commander] Joab [to lead the army]. Joab took his troops. They [crossed the Jordan River and] ruined the land of the Ammon people-group. Then they went to Rabbah, [the capital city, ] and surrounded it. David stayed in Jerusalem [for a while. But later he took more troops and went to help] Joab. Their armies attacked Rabbah and destroyed it.
Chuche kum chavang lai a lengpa galbol dia ahung chun Israel mite chun Job lamkai na noi in Ammon mite anasat uvin ahi. Hichun aman Rabbah khopi chu ana umkhom in ahi. Hinlah David chu Jerusalem ah chun ana umden in ahi.
2 Then David took the crown from the head of the king of Rabbah (OR, from the head of their god Milcom) and put it on his own head. It [was very heavy; it] weighed (75 pounds/34 kg.), and it had many very valuable stones [fastened to it]. They also took many other valuable things from the city.
David Rabbah khopi ahung lhun in lengpa lallukhuh chu aladoh in aman akikhuh in ahi. Hiche lal lukhuh chu sana pah jem a kisem chule agih dan jong pound som sagi le nga ahi. David in jong thilman tampi khopia chun ahin kipoh in ahi.
3 Then they brought the people out of the city and forced them to [work for their army, ] using saws and iron picks and axes. David’s soldiers did this in all the cities of the Ammon people-group. Then David and all of his army returned to Jerusalem.
Aman Rabbah kho mite chu soh in ana mang in, amaho chu thingat, thih khenchi a leilai le heicha’a thing chan in anapan sah in, Ammon mite chu engbolna ana pen ahi. Chujouvin David le asepaite chu Jerusalem a anache tauve.
4 Later, [David’s army] fought a battle with the army of Philistia, at Gezer [city]. During the battle Sibbecai, from Hushah [clan], killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the Rapha [giants]. So the armies of Philistia were defeated.
Chujouvin jong Israel te le Philistine techu Gazer mun a gal in ana kisat kit in ahi. Hiche akisat nau va hin, Hushah kho a Sebbecai jin milen galhat minthang ho chilhah a kon Saph kitipa ana that in chule Philistine ten gal analel tauvin ahi.
5 In another battle against the soldiers of Philistia, Elhanan, the son of Jair, killed Lahmi, the [younger] brother of [the giant] Goliath from Gath [town], who had a spear which was as thick as a weaver’s rod.
Philistine te toh gal kisat na mun khat ma ana um kit in, hichea chun Elhanan chapa Jair chun Gath khoa kon Goliath sopipa Lahmi chu anathat in ahi. Chule Lahmi tenglum chu lentah ahi.
6 There was another battle near Gath. A (huge man/giant) was there who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He was descended from [the] Rapha [giants].
Philistine tetoh Gath khopia gal ana kisat namun uva jong chun milentah galhat mi khut jung gup le keng jung gup nei abon'a somni le li nei khat ana pang e, amahi gollui lai galhang minthang ho son chilhah a kon ahi.
7 When he made fun of the soldiers of Israel, Jonathan, the son of David’s [older] brother Shimea, killed him.
Chule aman Israel mite totnop nale noise tah a anabol jeh chun David sopipa Shimea chapa Jonathan in’a anathat tai.
8 Those were some of the descendants of [the] Rapha [giants] who had lived in Gath, who were killed [MTY] by David and his soldiers.
David in anatha Philistine galhang mite hi Gath kho akon milui galhang ho son chilhah jeng anahiu ve.
