1It happened after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place.
1Huan, huai nungin hichi ahi a, Amon suante kumpipa Nahas a si a, a tapa a sikin a lal hi.
2David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
2Huan Davidin, A pan honna hehpih jel jiakin ken leng Naha tapa Hanun ka hehpih sam ding, a chi a. Huchiin Davidin a pa tungtang thu-a lungmuan dingin mite a sawl hi. Huan David mite Amon suante gamah Hanun kiangah amah lungmuan dingin a vatung ua.
3But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, “Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Haven’t his servants come to you to search, to overthrow, and to spy out the land?”
3Himahleh Amon suan heututen Hanun kiangah, Davidin na pa a zahtak jiaka lungmuan ding mi na kianga honsawl hiin na um ahia? A mite gam hihse dinga enchain leh enkhe dinga na kianga hongpai ahi kha kei ding uam maw? A chi ua.
4So Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
4Huchiin Hanunin David mite a mana, a khamul uh a met maisaka, huan a puansilhte uh a lai takah a tobou uh khuh pha minmenin a tansaka, a paisak ta hi.
5Then there went certain persons, and told David how the men were served. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
5Huchiin kuatehiamin a mite a na hih dan David a vahilh ua. Huan a dawnding mi a sawla; amau lah a zum mahmah ngal ua.
6When the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Arammaacah, and out of Zobah.
6Huchiin Amon suanten David jakdahlam a na hihta uh chih anakitheih un, Hanun leh Amon suanten Mesopotamia gama mite, Aram-maakaa mite, Zobaa mite, kangtalai leh sakol tungtuag mite goihna dingin dangkasik talent sang khat a khak uh.
7So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people, who came and encamped before Medeba. The children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
7Huchiin kangtalai sing thum leh sang nih, Maaka kumpipa leh a mite toh a pi ua, Medeba chinah panmun a bawlta uh. Huan Amon suante a khua ua kipante khawngin a pawt khia ua, a kikai khawm ua, kidou dingin a kuan uhi.
8When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.
8Huan Davidin huai a jakin, Joab leh sepaih hangsante tengteng a sawl khia.
9The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city: and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.
9Huan Amon suante a hongkuan ua, khopi kongpi chinah a kiphalh ua, huan, kumpipa hongtel teitei a tuamin pawnah a om uhi.
10Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.
10Huchiin a malam leh nunglamah a honsual sin uh chih Joabin a theihin Israel mite laka mi a hoih tata a tel khiaa, Suria mite sual dingin a nakijak uhi.
11The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
11Huan mi dang tengteng bel a unaupa Abisai khut ah a koih veka. Amon suante sual dingin amau leng a kizalh uh.
12He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.
12Huan aman, Suria mite ka zoh sin kei leh, nang honpanpihin; huan Amon suante na zoh sin kei leh ka honpanpih ding.
13Be courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the cities of our God. May Yahweh do that which seems good to him.”
13Hangsan takin om unla, i mite leh i Pathian khuate humin i kipasalsak ding uh; huan TOUPAN hoih a sak bang jelin hih hen, a chi a.
14So Joab and the people who were with him drew near before the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.
14Huchiin Joab leh a kianga mite kidouna mun lama Suria mite a vanaih ua; huan, a maah a taikekta uhi.
15When 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.
15Huan Amon suanten Suria mite a taikek uh chih a theih un amau leng a unaupa Abisai maah a taikek ta ua, khuaah a lut uhi. Huchiin Joab Jerusalem ah a paita hi.
16When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians who were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.
16Huan Suria miten Israelte maah a pang theikei uh chih a natheih un, mi a sawl ua, Lui khenlama Suria pawlte a sam khia ua, huan Hadadezer sepaih heutu Sophak bel a heutu pen uh ahi.
17It was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came on 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.
17Huan huai bel David a hilh ua; huan, aman Israel mi tengteng a sam khawma, Jordan lui a kan ua, a vamu ua, sual dingin a kiphalh uhi. Huchiin Suriate kidoupih dia David a kisak khitin amah a kidoupihta uhi.
18The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed of the Syrians the men of seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the army.
18Huan Suria mite bel Israel maah a taikek ua; huan Davidin Suria mi, kangtalai sang sagih tunga tuang leh sepaih sing li a thata, huan sepaih heutu Sophak leng a that hi.Huchiin Hadadezer miten Israelte maah a pang theitakei uh chih a theih un, David toh kilepna a bawl ua, a sikhate dingin a omta uh; Suria miten leng Amon suante a panpih nuamta kei uh.
19When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David, and served him: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.
19Huchiin Hadadezer miten Israelte maah a pang theitakei uh chih a theih un, David toh kilepna a bawl ua, a sikhate dingin a omta uh; Suria miten leng Amon suante a panpih nuamta kei uh.
