1Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse says, the man who was raised on high says, the anointed of the God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel:
1Hiaite, David thugen nanungpen ahi. Jesai tapa David, sang tak a dop sangpa, Jakob Pathian sathaunilhpa, Israelte la kilawm tak phuakpan a chi:
2“The Spirit of Yahweh spoke by me. His word was on my tongue.
2TOUPA kha in kei hon zang in a gen a, a thu ka lei ah a om.
3The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, ‘One who rules over men righteously, who rules in the fear of God,
3Israelte Pathian in a gen a, Israelte Suangpi in: Mi tung a diktak a vaihawm sek pa, Pathian laudan siam kawm a vaihawmsekpa.
4shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, when the tender grass springs out of the earth, through clear shining after rain.’
4Ni a hong suah a mei om hetlou zingsang vak bang ahi ding, vuah zuk khit a kho hong siang a lei a loupa sel nou mimet bang ahi ding.
5Most certainly my house is not so with God, yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure, for it is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he doesn’t make it grow.
5Ka inkuan Pathian a kipan ahi ka hia? khantawn thukhun ka kiang ah a khung a, bangkim kizen leh hihkip in; ka hotdamna kim leh deihdan kim, a dawnkhe sinkei ding maw?
6But all of the ungodly shall be as thorns to be thrust away, because they can’t be taken with the hand,
6Mi pathian limsakloute bel a vek a nil a nil mangzat, ling bang ahi uhi, khut a lakzat ahi ngalkei ua:
7But the man who touches them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear. They shall be utterly burned with fire in their place.”
7Himahleh amau khoih ding mi sik leh teichiang a a kivat ding ahi; huchi in a mun ua halmang vek ahi ding uh, chi in a hon houpih a, a chi a.
8These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb Basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite, against eight hundred slain at one time.
8Hiaite David sepaih hangsante min ahi: Takemon mi Josep-basehebeth sepaih heutute lak a heutupa ahi a; amah khatvei thu a mi zagiat thatpa Eznit mi Adino a chih mah uh ahi.
9After him was Eleazar the son of Dodai the son of an Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines who were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away.
9Huan, amah zom in Ahohi tapa Dodai tapa Eleazar ahi: huai mi bel Philistia mite kidou ding a a kikaihkhawm ua, a tou ua. Israel mite a pai mang vek lai ua David kiang a sepaih hangsan thumte lak a khat ahi:
10He arose, and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand froze to the sword; and Yahweh worked a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take spoil.
10Huan, amah a thou a, Philistia mite a khut a kham matan in namsau leng khahlou khop in a that a; huai ni in TOUPA'N nakpitak in a zouta a: huan, mipite a nung ah gallak thil la ding lel in a hong kik nawn uh.
11After him was Shammah the son of Agee a Hararite. The Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where there was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines.
11Huan, amah nung in Har mi Age tapa Sama ahi. Huan, be tampi omna lou ah Philistia mite lak tum in a kikhawm ua; huan, mipite'n Philistia mite a taikek san uh.
12But he stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and Yahweh worked a great victory.
12Himahleh amah bel huai lai mun ah a ding a, a veng a, Philistia mite a that a: huan, TOUPA'N nakpitak in a zoh sak hi.
13Three of the thirty chief men went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam; and the troop of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
13Huan, sepaih hanghang sawmthum lak a thumte a hohsuk ua, buh lak laitak in David kiang ah Adulam kohawm ah a hoh ua; huan, Philistia sepaihte'n Rephaim kuam ah panmun a bawl uh.
14David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
14Huan, huchihlai in David insung ah a om a, huchihlai mah in Philistia sepaihte Beth-lehem ah a om uh.
15David longed, and said, “Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!”
15Huan, David in tui a lunggulh mahmah a, Beth-lehem a tuileh tui, kulh kongkhak kianga a dawn ding a hongpia om le uh aw! a chi a.
16The three mighty men broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but he would not drink of it, but poured it out to Yahweh.
16Huchi in sepaih hangsan thumte'n Philistia sepaihte a paltan ua, kulh kongkhak kiang a Beth-lehem tuileh a va tawi ua, a tawi ua, David kiang ah a paipih uh: himahleh a na dawn nuamkei a, TOUPA a ding in a bungkhe zaw hi.
17He said, “Be it far from me, Yahweh, that I should do this! Isn’t it the blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their lives?” Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.
17Aw TOUPA, hiai ka hihlouh dingdan; sih ngap a kuante sisan ka dawn sin ahia? a chi a; huchi in a dawn nuamkei hi. Huai thilte sepaih hangsan thumte'n a hih uhi.
18Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the three. He lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name among the three.
18Zerui tapa Joab unau Abisai bel thumte lak a a heutupen uh ahi. A teipi in mi zathumte a sual a, a that a, thumte lak ah min hoih a loh hi.
19Wasn’t he most honorable of the three? therefore he was made their captain: however he didn’t attain to the three.
19Thumte lak ah pahtawi tuak pen ahi kei maw? Huaiziak in a heutu ding un a bawl uhi: himahleh tungnungpen thum lak a simtei a kaikei hi.
20Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, he killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab: he went down also and killed a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.
20Huan, Kebzeel mihang tapa Jehoiada tapa Benai thil thupi tak hihpan Moab mi Ariel tapate nih a that a; huan, a hoh suk a, vuk kiak hunlai in leikohawm ah humpinelkai leng a va that a:
21He killed an Egyptian, a goodly man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own spear.
21Huan, Aigupta mi, mi lian tak a that: Aigupta mi in teipi a tawi a: himahleh aman chiang tawi in a va zuan a, Aigupta mi teipi tawi a va sut a, amah teipi in a sun lumta hi.
22Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the three mighty men.
22Jehoiada tapa Benai in huchi bang thil ahih ziak in sepaih hangsan thumte lak ah min hoih a loh hi.
23He was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn’t attain to the three. David set him over his guard.
23Mi sawmthumte sang in pahtawi tuak ahi a; himahleh tungnungpen thumte lak a sim tel a kaikei hi. Huan, David in amah vengpa heutu ding in a koih hi.
