1Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “Here we are, your own flesh and blood.
1To naah Israel acaengnawk boih Hebron vangpui ah David khaeah angzoh o moe, Khenah, Kaicae loe nang ih athii angan ah ni ka oh o.
2Even in times past, while Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them back. And to you the LORD said, ‘You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be ruler over them.’”
2Canghniah Saul kaicae nuiah siangpahrang ah oh naah, nang loe misatukhaih ahmuen ah Israel kaminawk zaehoikung ah na oh. To naah Angraeng mah nang khaeah, Kai ih kami Israelnawk to na pacah ueloe, nihcae zaehoikung ah na om tih, tiah ang thuih boeh, tiah a naa o.
3So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, where King David made with them a covenant before the LORD. And they anointed him king over Israel.
3Israel kacoehtanawk boih Hebron ah David khaeah angzoh o pacoengah, siangpahrang mah Hebron ah Angraeng hmaa ah nihcae hoi angdaehhaih to sak; nihcae mah David to Israel ukkung siangpahrang ah suek o.
4David was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years.
4David siangpahrang ah oh naah, saning quithumto oh boeh; anih loe saning quipalito thung sianpahrang ah oh.
5In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.
5Hebron ah Judah kaminawk ukkung siangpahrang ah saning sarih, khrah tarukto oh; Jerusalem ah Israel hoi Judah kaminawk boih nuiah saning quithum, thumto thung siangpahrang ah oh.
6Now the king and his men marched to Jerusalem against the Jebusites who inhabited the land. The Jebusites said to David: “You will never get in here. Even the blind and lame can repel you.” For they thought, “David cannot get in here.”
6Siangpahrang mah angmah ih kaminawk to kawk moe, Jerusalem khokung, Jebus kaminawk tuk hanah caeh o; to naah nihcae mah nang loe hae vangpui thungah akun hmah; hae vangpui thungah David akun hmah nasoe, tiah mikmaeng hoi khokkhaem kaminawk mah thui o nahaeloe, anih akun han ai ah pakaa o thai tih, tiah a poek o.
7Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion (that is, the City of David).
7Toe David mah, David vangpui, tiah kawk ih vangpui kacak Zion to tuk moe, a lak.
8On that day he said, “Whoever attacks the Jebusites must use the water shaft to reach the lame and blind who are despised by David.” That is why it is said, “The blind and the lame will never enter the palace.”
8To na niah David mah, Mi kawbaktih doeh tui pakaahaih bang hoiah caeh tahang moe, David hnuma khokkhaem hoi mikmaengnawk hum kami loe, anih to misatuh ukkung ah om tih, tiah a naa. To pongah ni nihcae mah, mikmaeng hoi khokhaemnawk loe imthung ah akun o mak ai, tiah thuih o.
9So David took up residence in the fortress and called it the City of David. He built it up all the way around, from the supporting terraces inward.
9To pacoengah David loe misa abuephaih im ah oh, to ahmuen to David ih vangpui, tiah kawk o. Athung bang ih ataeng boih ah Millo ahmuen to a sak.
10And David became greater and greater, for the LORD God of Hosts was with him.
10Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw anih taengah oh pongah, anih loe len tahang aep aep.
11Now Hiram king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs, carpenters, and stonemasons, and they built a palace for David.
11To naah Tura siangpahrang Hiram mah, David khaeah, angmah ih laicaehnawk hoi nawnto sidar thing, thing tok sah kop kaminawk, thlung im sah kop kaminawk to patoeh moe, David hanah siangpahrang im to sak pae o.
12And David realized that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.
12To naah Angraeng mah ni kai hae Israel nuiah siangpahrang ah suek moe, angmah ih kami Israelnawk ukkung ah ohsak, tiah David mah panoek.
13After he had arrived from Hebron, David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, and more sons and daughters were born to him.
13Hebron vangpui caehtaak pacoengah, David loe Jerusalem ah angmah hanah kapop parai zula hoi zunawk to a lak; capanawk hoi canunawk doeh a sak mangh.
14These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
14Jerusalem ah oh naah a sak ih a caanawk ih ahmin loe, Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
15Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
15Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
16Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
16Elishama, Eliada hoi Eliphalet.
17When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, they all went in search of him; but David learned of this and went down to the stronghold.
17David Israel kaminawk ukkung siangpahrang ah situi bawh o boeh, tiah Philistin kaminawk mah thaih o naah, David pakrong hanah angzoh o; to kawng to David mah thaih naah, misa abuephaih im ah caeh tathuk.
18Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
18To naah Philistinnawk angzoh o moe, Rephaim tangtling ah atai o.
19So David inquired of the LORD, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” “Go,” replied the LORD, “for I will surely deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
19To naah David mah Angraeng khaeah, Philistin kaminawk tuk hanah ka caeh tahang han maw? Nihcae to ka ban ah nang paek han maw? tiah a dueng. Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Caeh tahang ah, Philistinnawk to na ban ah kang paek tangtang han, tiah a naa.
20So David went to Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a bursting flood, the LORD has burst out against my enemies before me.” So he called that place Baal-perazim.
20To pongah David loe Baal-Perazim ah caeh moe, to ah nihcae to tuk pazawk boih; David mah, Kangthawk tui mah tanawt ih baktih toengah, Angraeng mah ka hmaa ah misanawk to ang hum pae, tiah thuih. To pongah to ahmuen to Baal-Perazim, tiah a sak.
21There the Philistines abandoned their idols, and David and his men carried them away.
21Philsitinnawk mah to ahmuen ah caeh o taak ih krangnawk to, David hoi angmah ih kaminawk mah hmai hoiah qoeng pae o.
22Once again the Philistines came up and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
22Philistinnawk angzoh o let moe, Rephaim tangtling ah atai o let.
23So David inquired of the LORD, who answered, “Do not march straight up, but circle around behind them and attack them in front of the balsam trees.
23To pongah David mah Angraeng khaeah dueng let naah, Angraeng mah nihcae khaeah katoeng ah caeh o hmah; nihcae to hnukbang hoiah takui oh loe, langkawk pacahhaih berry thing hmabang hoiah tuh oh.
24As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move quickly, because this will mean that the LORD has marched out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”
24Langkawk rawkcak ah patoh ih berry thingkung ranui ah kacaeh misatuh kaminawk ih lok to na thaih o naah, karangah caeh oh; to naah Angraeng to na hmaa ah caeh ueloe, Philistin misatuh kaminawk to tuh tih, tiah a naa.
25So David did as the LORD had commanded him, and he struck down the Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.
25Angraeng mah thuih pae ih baktih toengah David mah sak; Philistinnawk to Geba hoi Gazer karoek to anih mah tuk pazawk.
