1 Chronicles 19
1 Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.
Te phoeiah tah Ammon koca rhoek kah manghai Nahash te duek tih a capa te anih yueng la manghai.
2 And David said, I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
Te vaengah David loh, “A napa loh kai taengah sitlohnah a tueng sak dongah Nahash capa Hanun te sitlohnah ka tueng sak van eh,” a ti. Te dongah a napa kongah anih suem ham te David loh puencawn a tueih tih David kah sal rhoek khaw Hanun suem hamla Ammon koca rhoek kah khohmuen la pawk uh.
3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters to thee? are not his servants come to thee to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?
Tedae Ammon koca rhoek kah mangpa rhoek loh Hanun taengah, “Nang suem ham han tueih dongah na mikhmuh ah David loh na pa a thangpom nama? Khohmuen he hip ham neh maelh ham, khe ham pawt nim a sal rhoek te nang taengla ha pawk uh?” a ti nah.
4 Therefore Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
Te dongah Hanun loh David kah sal rhoek te a tuuk. Amih te sam a vok pah, a himbai te a ael ah rhakhuem a hlueng pah phoeiah a tueih.
5 Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards are grown, and then return.
A caeh uh vaengah tah a hlang rhoek kawng te David ham a puen pauh. Hlang rhoek khaw hmaithae la mat a om uh coeng dongah amih aka doe te a tueih. Te vaengah manghai loh, “Na hmuimul a cawn hil Jerikho ah om uh lamtah ha mael uh,” a ti nah.
6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syriamaachah, and out of Zobah.
David taengah bo a rhim uh te Ammon koca rhoek loh a hmuh uh. Te dongah Hanun neh Ammon koca rhoek loh Aramnaharaim, Arammaakah, Zobah lamkah leng neh marhang caem te paang hamla cak talent thawng khat neh a tah.
7 So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people; who came and encamped before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
Te dongah amamih ham te leng thawng sawmthum thawng hnih te a paang uh. Manghai Maakah neh a pilnam te khaw cet uh tih Medeba rhaldan ah rhaeh uh. Ammon koca rhoek khaw amamih khopuei lamloh coi uh thae tih caemtloek la pawk uh.
8 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
David loh a yaak vaengah Joab neh hlangrhalh caempuei te boeih a tueih.
9 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that had come were by themselves in the field.
Ammon koca rhoek te cet uh tih khopuei thohka ah caemtloek rhong a pai uh. Te vaengah manghai aka pawk rhoek te lohma ah amamih bueng omuh.
10 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose from all the best of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.
Joab loh caemtloek hmai ah a hnuk a hmai la a om te a hmuh. Te dongah Israel khuikah a coelh boeih te koep a coelh tih Aram te mah hamla rhong a pai.
11 And the rest of the people he delivered to the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
Pilnam kah a coihpaih te a mana Abishai kut ah a khueh tih Ammon koca rhoek te mah hamla rhong a pai uh.
12 And he said, If the Syrians shall be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon shall be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
Te vaengah, “Aram te kai lakah a tlung atah loeihnah hamla kai taengah om. Tedae Ammon koca rhoek te nang lakah a tlung oeh atah nang kang khang van eh.
13 Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do that which is good in his sight.
Thaahuel uh lamtah mah pilnam ham neh mamih kah Pathen khopuei rhoek ham khaw thaahuel uh sih. BOEIPA loh a mikhmuh ah a then a saii bitni,” a ti nah.
14 So Joab and the people that were with him drew near before the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.
Te phoeiah Joab neh a taengkah pilnam loh Aram te caemtloek la a thoeih hatah a mikhmuh lamloh rhaelrham uh.
15 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
Ammon koca rhoek loh Aram a rhaelrham te a hmuh vaengah amamih khaw Joab mana Abishai mikhmuh lamloh rhaelrham uh tih khopuei khuila a kun coeng dongah Joab khaw Jerusalem la mael.
16 And when the Syrians saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.
Aram loh Israel mikhmuh ah a yawk te a hmuh vaengah puencawn rhoek te a tueih uh. Te vaengah Aram loh tuiva rhalvangan lamkah te a khuen uh tih Hadadezer kah caempuei mangpa Shophate teamih hmai ah a lamhma sak.
17 And it was told to David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.
Tedae David taengla a puen pah dongah Israel pum te a coi tih Jordan te kat. Amih te a paan tih a rhaldan ah rhong a pai. David loh Aram te caemtloek neh doe hamla rhong a pai tih a vathoh thil uh.
18 But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men who fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.
Aram te Israel mikhmuh lamloh a rhaelrham coeng dongah David loh Aram kah leng caem thawng rhih, rhalkap te hlang thawng sawmli a ngawn pah tih caempuei mangpa Shophate te a duek sak.
19 And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were smote before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.
Israel mikhmuh ah a yawk uh te Hadadezer kah sal rhoek loh a hmuh. Te dongah David te a sah tih a taengah thotat uh. Te phoeiah Aram loh Ammon koca te rhun ham ngaih voel pawh.
