1 Amogalu fa: no, hina bagade Da: ibidi da bu Filisidini dunu doagala: le, ili hasali. Amasea, Filisidini dunu ilia Isala: ili sogega ouligisu hou da ne gumi ba: i.
Some time later, David’s army attacked the Philistia [army] and defeated them. They took control over the entire Philistia area.
2 Amasea, Da: ibidi da Moua: be dunu hasali. E da Moua: be dunu amo Isala: ili ilia gagulaliligi, amalu osoba diasisima: ne sia: i. Amalu udiana hidadea diasisi, amoga e da aduna fane legei. Amaiba: le, e da Moua: be fi dunu ilima ouligisu hamoi, amola ilima su lidisu.
David’s army also defeated the army of the Moab people-group. David forced their soldiers to lie down on the ground [close to each other]. His men killed two out of every three of them. The [other] Moab people [were forced to] accept David as their ruler, and they were forced to give to him [every year the] payment/tax [that he demanded].
3 Amasea, e da Ha: da: disa (Lihoube egefe. E da Silia soge fonobahadi amo Souba amoga hina bagade galu) amo hasali. Ha: da: disa da soge Iufala: idisi Hano gusudili ouligilalu. Be mafua dunu da lelebeba: le, e da amoga ouligisu yolesi. E da amo sogega ouligisu hou bu lamusa: ahoanoba, Da: ibidi da e doagala: i.
David’s army also defeated [the army of] Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, who ruled [the state of] Zobah [in Syria]. That happened when David went to rule again over the area at [the upper part of] the Euphrates River.
4 Da: ibidi da ea dadi gagui dunu hosi da: iya fila heda: i 1700 agoane gagulaligi, amola emoga ahoasu dadi gagui dunu 20,000 gagulaligi. E da hosi idi, amo da sa: liode 100 agoane hiougima: ne defele gala, amo gagulaligi. E da hosi eno huluane mae masa: ne, ilia emo dina: fe dadamunisisi.
David’s army captured 1,700 of Hadadezer’s soldiers who rode on horses, and 20,000 of his other soldiers. They also crippled/hamstrung most of the horses that pulled the chariots, but they left/spared enough horses to [pull] 100 chariots.
5 Silia fi dunu Dama: sagase moilai bai bagadega esalu da hina bagade Ha: da: disa fuligala: ma: ne, dadi gagui wa: i asunasi. Be Da: ibidi da amo wa: i doagala: le, 22,000 dunu fanelegei.
When [the army of] Syria came from Damascus [city] to help King Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.

Then David stationed (groups of his soldiers/army camps) in their area, and the people of Syria were forced to accept David as their ruler, and to give to David’s government [every year] the payment/tax that he demanded. And Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win victories wherever they went.
7 Da: ibidi da gouliga hamoi da: igene ga: su amo Ha: da: disa ea eagene ouligisu dunu ilia gaguli ahoasu, amo samogene, Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega gaguli asi.
David’s soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by Hadadezer’s officials, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Amola e da `balase’ bagadedafa Bida amola Biloudai (amo moilai bai bagade aduna Ha: da: disa ea ouligisu) amoga samogei.
They also brought [to Jerusalem] a lot of bronze [that they found] in Betah and Berothai, two cities that King Hadadezer [had previously] ruled.
9 Ha: ima: de soge hina bagade ea dio amo Doui, e da Da: ibidi amo Ha: da: disa ea dadi gagui wa: i hasali, amo sia: nabi.
When Toi, the king of the Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
10 Amaiba: le, e da egefe Youla: me amo Da: ibidima nodone sia: ma: ne asunasi. Bai Da: ibidi da Ha: da: disa hasali, amola Doui da eso bagohame Ha: da: disama gegenanusu. Youla: me da gouli, silifa amola balase amoga hamoi liligi Da: ibidima gaguli asili, ema hahawane i.
he sent his son Joram to greet King David and to (congratulate him/say that he was happy) about his army defeating Hadadezer’s army, which Toi’s [army] had fought many times. Joram brought to David many items/gifts made from gold, silver, and bronze.
King David dedicated all those items to Yahweh. He also dedicated the silver and gold which his army had taken from the nations that they had conquered.
12 Hina bagade Da: ibidi da amo liligi amola eno silifa amola gouli e da fifi asi eno amo hasili (Idome amola Moua: be, A:mone, Filisidini, A:malege) amoga samogei, amo gilisili, Hina Godema sia: ne gadoma: ne ilegei. Amola e da liligi amo e da Ha: da: disa amoma samogei, mogili Hina Godema ima: ne ilegei.
They had taken items from the Edom people-group and the Moab people-group, from the Ammon people-group, from the Philistia people, and from [the descendants of] Amalek, as well as from the people that Hadadezer [previously] ruled.
13 Da: ibidi da Deme Fago ganodini amo Idome dunu 18,000 agoane fane legei. E da amo gegenanu buhagisia, dunu da ea dio bu baligili gaguia gadosu.
When David returned [after defeating the armies of Syria], he became more famous because his army killed 18,000 soldiers from the Edom people-group in the Salt Valley [near the Dead Sea].
14 E da Idome soge ganodini, dadi gagui fisisu diasu gilisisu gaguli gagai, amola e da Idome dunu ouligisu. Hina Gode da Da: ibidi fidibiba: le, e da habidili ahoanu, hasalasisu hou fawane ba: i.
David stationed (groups of his soldiers/army camps) throughout the Edom area, and forced the people there to accept him as their king. Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win battles wherever they went.
15 Da: ibidi da Isala: ili soge huluanedafa ouligisu. E da ouligibiba: le, ea fi dunu da moloidafa hou fawane ba: i.
David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was fair and just.
16 Youa: be (ea ame da Selouaia) e da dadi gagui wa: i ilia hina galu. Yihosiafa: de (Ahailade egefe) da sia: dedei ouligisu galu.
Joab was the army commander; Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the man who reported to the people everything that David decided that they should do;
17 Sa: idoge (Ahaidabe egefe) amola Ahimelege (Abaia: da egefe) da gobele salasu dunu esalu. Hina bagade fi sia: dedesu dunu da Sila: ia galu.
