1To nathuem ah Ammon siangpahrang Nahash loe duek moe, a capa mah anih zuengah uk.
1After this, Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place.
2David mah, Anih ih ampa mah kai ang tahmen pongah, Nahash capa Hanun nuiah tahmenhaih kam tuengsak han, tiah a poek. Ampa kawng pongah palungsethaih amtuengsak hanah David mah Hanun khaeah laicaeh patoeh. David ih kaminawk loe, Hanun khaeah palungsethaih lokthuih hanah Ammon prae ah angzoh o.
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.
3Toe Ammon angraengnawk mah Hanun khaeah, David mah nam pa nuiah palungsethaih amtuengsak han ih ni, pathloep kaminawk to patoeh, tiah na poek maw? Anih ih tamnanawk loe prae to khet moe, paro han hoi misatuk han ih na ai maw angzoh o? tiah a naa o.
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?”
4Hanun mah David ih kaminawk to naeh moe, sam to aah pae; khukbuen to laetabu khoek to aah pae pat moe, amlaemsak let.
4So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle at their buttocks, and sent them away.
5To pacoengah kangcoeng hmuen kawng to kami maeto mah David khaeah thuih pae. Nihcae to paroeai azat thokah sak o pongah, nihcae tongh hanah anih mah kami to patoeh. Siangpahrang mah, Na toektaboe mui tacawt ai karoek to, Jeriko vangpui ah na oh o pacoengah, amlaem oh, tiah thuih, tiah a naa.
5Then some people went and told David how the men were treated. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly humiliated. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
6David hanah hmuisae hmuen a sak pae o boeh, tiah Ammon kaminawk mah panoek o naah, Hanun hoi Ammon kaminawk mah Mesopotamia prae, Syria-Maakah hoi Zobah prae hoiah hrangleeng, hrang angthueng kaminawk to tlai hanah, phoisa talent sangto a pat pae.
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 chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah.
7Nihcae mah hrangleeng sing thum, sang hnetto, Maakah siangpahrang hoi anih ih misatuh kaminawk to tlai pongah, nihcae loe angzoh o moe, Medeba taengah atai o. Ammon kaminawk loe avang maeto pacoeng maeto ah amkhueng o moe, misatuk hanah caeh o.
7So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah with his people, who came and encamped near Medeba. The children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
8David mah to tamthang to thaih naah, Joab hoi thacak angmah ih misatuh kaminawk to patoeh boih.
8When David heard of it, he sent Joab with all the army of the mighty men.
9Ammon kaminawk loe angzoh o moe, angmacae ih vangpui sipae khongkha ah misatuk hanah amkhueng o; angmacae koeh ah angzo siangpahrangnawk loe taw thungah oh o.
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.
10Joab mah anih tuk hanah ahnuk ahmaa kaom kaminawk to hnuk naah, Israel thung hoi kahoih koek misatuh kaminawk to a qoih moe, Syria kaminawk to tuksak.
10Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose some of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.
11Kalah misatuh kaminawk loe amnawk Abishai hanah uksak, nihcae loe Ammon kaminawk tuk hanah amsak o.
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.
12Joab mah, Syria kaminawk thacak o hmoek nahaeloe, kai hae na bom ah, nang hanah Ammon kaminawk thacak o hmoek nahaeloe, kai mah kang bomh han, tiah a naa.
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.
13Misahoih ohsak loe, aimacae kaminawk hoi aimacae ih Sithaw hanah, misahoihaih hoiah tuh si; Angraeng mah a mikhnukah kahoih hmuen to sah nasoe, tiah a naa.
13Be courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do that which seems good to him.”
14Joab hoi a taengah kaom kaminawk loe Syria misatuk hanah caeh o boih; Syria kaminawk loe nihcae hmaa ah cawnh o.
14So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the front of the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.
15Syria kaminawk cawnh o boeh, tiah Ammon kaminawk mah hnuk o naah, nihcae doeh amnawk Abishai hmaa ah cawnh o toeng moe, vangpui thungah akun o. To pacoengah Joab loe Jerusalem ah amlaem let.
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.
16Israel kaminawk hmaa ah misa sung boeh, tiah Syria kaminawk mah panoek o naah, nihcae mah laicaehnawk to patoeh o moe, vapui yaeh ah kaom Syria misatuh kaminawk to kawksak; Hadarezer ih misatuh angraeng Shophak mah nihcae to caeh haih.
16When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and called out the Syrians who were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the army of Hadadezer leading them.
17To lok to David khaeah thuih pae o naah, anih mah Israel kaminawk boih to pakhueng moe, Jordan vapui to angkat o; nihcae khaeah phak o moe, nihcae tuk hanah amsak o. David loe Syria kaminawk tuk hanah amsak moe, nihcae hoi misa angtuk o.
17David was told that, so he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, came to 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.
18Toe Syria kaminawk loe Israel kaminawk hmaa ah cawnh o; David mah hrangleeng nuiah angthueng kami sang sarihto hum moe, khok hoi misatuh kami sing palito a hum; nihcae ih misatuh angraeng Shophak doeh a hum pae.
18The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed of the Syrian men seven thousand charioteers and forty thousand footmen, and also killed Shophach the captain of the army.
19Israel kaminawk mah pazawk boeh, tiah Hadarezer taengah kaom tamnanawk mah panoek o naah, David hoi angdaehhaih sak o moe, anih ih tamna ah oh o. To pongah Syria kaminawk mah Ammon kaminawk abomh han koeh o ai boeh.
19When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and served him. The Syrians would not help the children of Ammon any more.
