1Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spoke, saying: 'Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.
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.
2In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was thou that didst lead out and bring in Israel; and the LORD said to thee: Thou shalt feed My people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over Israel.'
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 to Hebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David 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 began to reign, 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 and 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.
6And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke unto David, saying: 'Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither'; thinking: 'David cannot come in hither.'
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 took the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David.
7Toe David mah, David vangpui, tiah kawk ih vangpui kacak Zion to tuk moe, a lak.
8And David said on that day: 'Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites, and getteth up to the gutter, and taketh away the lame and the blind, that are hated of David's soul — .' Wherefore they say: 'There are the blind and the lame; he cannot come into the house.'
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.
9And David dwelt in the stronghold, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and 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 waxed greater and greater; for the LORD, the God of hosts, was with him.
10Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw anih taengah oh pongah, anih loe len tahang aep aep.
11And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and carpenters, and masons; and they built David a house.
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 perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that He had exalted his kingdom for His people Israel's sake.
12To naah Angraeng mah ni kai hae Israel nuiah siangpahrang ah suek moe, angmah ih kami Israelnawk ukkung ah ohsak, tiah David mah panoek.
13And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron; and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.
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.
14And these are the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon;
14Jerusalem ah oh naah a sak ih a caanawk ih ahmin loe, Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
15and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia;
15Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
16and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphelet.
16Elishama, Eliada hoi Eliphalet.
17And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold.
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 themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
18To naah Philistinnawk angzoh o moe, Rephaim tangtling ah atai o.
19And David inquired of the LORD, saying: 'Shall I go up against the Philistines? wilt Thou deliver them into my hand?' And the LORD said unto David: 'Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into thy 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.
20And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and he said: 'The LORD hath broken mine enemies before me, like the breach of waters.' Therefore the name of that place was called 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.
21And they left their images there, and David and his men took them away.
21Philsitinnawk mah to ahmuen ah caeh o taak ih krangnawk to, David hoi angmah ih kaminawk mah hmai hoiah qoeng pae o.
22And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
22Philistinnawk angzoh o let moe, Rephaim tangtling ah atai o let.
23And when David inquired of the LORD, He said: 'Thou shalt not go up; make a circuit behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry-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.
24And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself; for then is the LORD gone out before thee to smite the host 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.
25And David did so, as the LORD commanded him, and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gezer.
25Angraeng mah thuih pae ih baktih toengah David mah sak; Philistinnawk to Geba hoi Gazer karoek to anih mah tuk pazawk.
