¹And all Israel assembled themselves to David to Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

¹Huchiin Israel tengteng Hebron ah David kiangah a hongkikhawm khawm ua, Ngaiin, na guh leh na sa ka hi uh.

²Even aforetime, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel; and Jehovah thy God said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over my people Israel.

²Tuma lamin, Saul mahmah kumpipa a hih laiin, Israel pi khiaa pi lut nang na hi a; TOUPA na Pathianin na kiangah, Israel ka mite na vak dinga, ka mite Israel tungah lal na hi ding hi, honchi a.

³And all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Jehovah; and they anointed David king over Israel according to the word of Jehovah through Samuel.

³Huchiin Israel upate tengteng Hebron ah kumpipa kiangah a hong pai ua; huan Davidin Hebron ah TOUPA maah amau toh thukhun a bawla; huan Samuel khuate TOUPA thu bang jela, Israel tunga kumpipa dingin David a septa uhi.

⁴And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.

⁴Huan David leh Israel tengteng Jerusalem (huaimah tuh Jebus a hi) ah a hoh ua; huchiin Jebus mite, huai gama tengte, huailaiah a om uhi.

⁵And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come in hither. But David took the stronghold of Zion, which is the city of David.

⁵Huchiin Jebusa tengten David kiangah, Hiai lama na hong louh ding ahi, a chi ua. Ahihhangin Davidin Zion kulh muanhuai a laa; huaimah tuh David khopi ahi.

⁶And David said, Whoever smites the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. And Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.

⁶Huan Davidin, Kuapeuh Jebus mite that masapenpen a lianpen leh heutu ahi ding, a chi a. Huan Zerui tapa Joab a kuantou masapena, huchiin amah a lianpena bawlin a omta hi.

⁷And David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore they called it the city of David.

⁷Huan David bel kulh muanhuai ah a tenga; huaijiakin David khopi a chi uhi.

⁸And he built the city round about, even from the Millo round about; and Joab renewed the rest of the city.

⁸Huchiin khopi a bawl suak veka, Millo kimvel akipan nasanin: huan Joabin khopi dang a bawlpha vek hi.

⁹And David became continually greater; and Jehovah of hosts was with him.

⁹Huchiin David bel a hongthupi semsema; sepaihte TOUPA lah a kiangah a om ngala.

¹⁰And these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who shewed themselves valiant with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of Jehovah concerning Israel.

¹⁰Huan hiaite David neih mi hatte laka a pipente ahi uh, Israel tungtanga TOUPA thu bang jela, amah kumpipa dia bawl dinga, Israel tengteng toh, a gamsunga amah laka a hatna uh taklangte.

¹¹And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam, the son of Hachmoni, the chief of the captains; he brandished his spear against three hundred, slain [by him] at one time.

¹¹Huan hiai Davidin a neih mi hatte zah ahi: Jasobeam, Hakmon mi tapa, sawmthumte laka pipen; za thumte dou dingin a teipi a leka khatvei thuin amaute a that hi.

¹²And after him, Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite; he was one of the three mighty men.

¹²Huan amah nungin Dodo tapa Eleazar, Ahoh mi, mi hat thumte laka khat ahi hi.

¹³He was with David at Pas-dammim, where the Philistines were gathered together to battle; and there was [there] a plot of ground full of barley; and the people had fled from before the Philistines.

¹³Pas-dammim ah David kiangah a oma, huan huaiah kidou tumin Philistia mite a kikhawm ua, barli-buha dimna mun takah; huan Philistia mite ma akipanin mite a taikekta uhi.

¹⁴And they stood in the midst of the plot and delivered it, and smote the Philistines; and Jehovah wrought a great deliverance.

¹⁴Huchiin huai mun laitakah a ding ua, a hum ua, a hum ua, Philistia mite a that uhi; huan TOUPAN zohna thupi takin amau a hondamta hi.

¹⁵And three of the thirty chiefs went down to the rock to David, to the cave of Adullam, when the army of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.

¹⁵Huan mi pipen sawmthumte laka thum suangpi lamah David kiangah, Adullam kokhuk ah a hoh suk ua; huan Philistia mite tampiten Rephaim phaijang ah puanin a kai ua.

¹⁶And David was then in the stronghold; and the Philistines' garrison was then at Bethlehem.

¹⁶Huailaiin David bel kohawm sungah a om a, Philistia mite kulhpi bel Beth-lehem ah a om hi,

¹⁷And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me to drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is in the gate!

¹⁷Huchiin David a lungjuanga, Aw kongpi kianga om, Beth-lehem tuihel tui dawn dinga hong pia mi khat om leh chi hinatel ing e! a chi a.

¹⁸And the three broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, which is in the gate, and took it, and brought it to David; David however would not drink of it, but poured it out to Jehovah.

¹⁸Huan huai thumten Philistia mite tampi lak a phu pai suak ua, Beth-lehem tuihel akipan tui a vatawi ua, kongpi kianga om, a honla ua, David kiang a hontun uhi: himahleh Davidin a dawn nuam keia, TOUPA adin a bung khe jawa.

¹⁹And he said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing! should I drink the blood of these men [who went] at the risk of their lives? for at the risk of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.

¹⁹Hiai ka hih, ka Pathianin honphal kei hen: a hinna uh lauhuainaa koih hiai mite sisan ka dawn ding hia? amau lah a hinna uh lauthawnna tohin a hontawi uh ahi ngala, a chi a. Huaijiakin a dawn nuamta kei hi. Hiai thilte huai mi hat thumten a hih uh.

²⁰And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was the chief of three; and he brandished his spear against three hundred and slew them; and he had a name among the three.

²⁰Huan Abisai, Joab unaupa, huai thumte laka khat ahi: aman lah za thumte dou dingin a teipi a lika amau a thata, mi thumte lakah min a neita ngala.

²¹Of the three he was more honourable than the two, and he was their captain; but he did not attain to the [first] three.

²¹Thumte lakah amah a zahtakhuai jaw hi nihte sangin huchiin a heutupa ding ua bawlin a om hi: hitamahleh thum masate jaw a pha kei hi.

²²Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, great in exploits, of Kabzeel: he it was that smote two lions of Moab; and he went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.

²²Benai Jehoiad tapa, Kabzeela mi hangsan, thilhih thupite hihpa tapa, Moaba Ariel tapate nihte a thata: a pai suk laia, vuk kiak laiin kokhuk lakah humpinelkai a that hi.

²³He also smote the Egyptian, a man of stature, five cubits high: and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and 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.

²³Huan Aigupta mi a thata, mi lian mahmah, tong ngaa sang; huan Aigupta mi kha a teipi siamganmi chiam bang ahi; huchiin a kiangah chiang toh a hoh suka, Aigupta mi khut akipan teipi a laa, amah mah teipiin amah a hihlumta hi.

²⁴These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he had a name among the three mighty men.

²⁴Hiai thilte Benai Jehoiad tapain a hiha, huchiin huai mi hat thumte lakah min a nei hi.

²⁵Behold, he was honoured above the thirty, but he did not attain to the [first] three. And David set him in his council.

²⁵Ngaiin, sawmthumte sangin zahtakhuaui jawin a oma, himahleh thum masate jaw a pha kei hi: huchiin Davidin a galvil heutuin amah a koih hi.
