1 Chronicles 14

1 Also, Hiram, the king of Tyre, sent messengers to David, and cedar wood, and artisans of walls and of wood, so that they might build a house for him.

Tyre manghai Huram Khiram loh David taengla puencawn neh a im sak pah ham lamphai thing khaw, pangbueng dongkah kutthai khaw, thing dongkah kutthai khaw a pat.

2 And David realized that the Lord had confirmed him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom had been lifted up over his people Israel.

BOEIPA loh Israel soah manghai la anih a thoh te khaw, a pilnam Israel kong ah a ram so la a dangrhoek te khaw David loh a ming.

3 Also, David took other wives in Jerusalem. And he conceived sons and daughters.

David loh Jerusalem ah yuu koep a loh dongah David loh canu khaw capa khaw koep a sak.

4 And these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon,

He rhoek he Jerusalem ah a sak tih amah taengah aka om rhoek kah a ming ni. Shammua, Shobab, Nathan neh Solomon.

5 Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,

Ibhar, Elishua neh Eliphelet.

6 as well as Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

Nogah, Nepheg neh Japhia.

7 Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

Elishama, Beeliada neh Eliphelet.

8 Then, hearing that David had been anointed as king over all of Israel, all the Philistines ascended so that they might seek him. But when David had heard of it, he went out to meet them.

Israel boeih kah manghai la David a koelh te Philisti loh a yaak vaengah David tlap hamla Philisti pum loh cet uh. Tedae David loh a yaak coeng dongah amih mikhmuh la cet.

9 Now the Philistines, arriving, spread out in the Valley of the Rephaim.

Philisti rhoek a pawk vaengah Rephaim kol la capit uh.

10 And so David consulted the Lord, saying, “Shall I ascend to the Philistines, and will you deliver them into my hand?” And the Lord said to him, “Ascend, and I will deliver them into your hand.”

Tedae David loh Pathen te a dawt tih, “Philisti taengla ka cet koinih Philisti te ka kut dongah nan tloeng aya?” a ti nah. Te dongah BOEIPA loh anih te, “Cet lamtah amih te na kut ah kan tloeng bitni,” a ti nah.

11 And when they had ascended to Baal-perazim, David struck them there, and he said: “God has divided my enemies by my hand, just as waters are divided.” And therefore the name of that place was called Baal-perazim.

Te dongah Baalperazim la cet uh dae amih te David loh pahoi a ngawn. Te vaengah David loh, “Pathen loh ka thunkha te tui puut bangla kamah kut ah a va coeng,” a ti. Te dongah te hmuen ming te Baalperazim la a khue.

12 And they left behind their gods in that place, and so David ordered them to be burned.

Te vaengah amamih kah pathen te pahoi a toeng uh coeng dongah David loh a ti nah bangla hmai neh a hoeh uh.

13 And then, at another time, the Philistines invaded, and they spread out in the valley.

Te phoeiah Philisti loh koep a khoep tih kol ah capit uh bal.

14 And again, David consulted God. And God said to him: “You shall not ascend after them. Draw away from them. And you shall come against them opposite the balsam trees.

Te dongah David loh Pathen te koep a dawt tih, Pathen loh anih te, “Amih hnukah cet boeh. A so lamloh vael lamtah amih te tikti rhaldan ah cuuk.

15 And when you hear a sound approaching in the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall go forth to war. For God has gone forth before you, so that he may strike down the army of the Philistines.”

Tikti soi ah haeksak ol na yaak van neh caemtloek la thoeih uh. Philisti caem ngawn hamla nang hmai ah Pathen cet coeng,” a ti nah.

16 Therefore, David did just as God had instructed him. And he struck down the army of the Philistines, from Gibeon as far as Gazera.

David long khaw Pathen kah a uen bangla a saii tangloeng. Te dongah Philisti caem te Gibeon lamloh Gezer duela a ngawn uh.

17 And the name of David became well-known in all the regions. And the Lord placed the fear of him over all the nations.

Te dongah David ming te diklai pum ah thang. BOEIPA loh a birhihnah te namtom cungkuem soah a khueh.
