1 Mbiri 18
1 Patapita nthawi, Davide anagonjetsa Afilisti ndipo anakhala pansi pa ulamuliro wake. Iye analanda Gati ndi midzi yake yozungulira mʼmanja mwa Afilistiwo.
Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 Davide anagonjetsanso Amowabu, nakhala pansi pa ulamuliro wake ndipo ankapereka msonkho kwa iye.
And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David’s servants, [and] brought gifts.
3 Komanso Davide anagonjetsa Hadadezeri mfumu ya Zoba, mpaka ku Hamati, pamene anapita kukakhazikitsa ulamuliro wake mʼmbali mwa mtsinje wa Yufurate.
And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
4 Davide analanda magaleta 1,000, anthu okwera magaleta 7,000 pamodzi ndi asilikali oyenda pansi 20,000. Iye anadula mitsempha ya akavalo onse okoka magaleta, koma anasiyapo akavalo 100 okha.
And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also houghed all the chariot [horses], but reserved of them an hundred chariots.
5 Aramu wa ku Damasiko atabwera kudzathandiza Hadadezeri mfumu ya ku Zoba, Davide anakantha asilikali 22,000.
And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
6 Iye anakhazikitsa maboma mu ufumu wa Aramu wa ku Damasiko, ndipo Aaramu anakhala pansi pa ulamuliro wake ndipo ankapereka msonkho. Yehova ankamupatsa chipambano Davide kulikonse kumene ankapita.
Then David put [garrisons] in Syria-damascus; and the Syrians became David’s servants, [and] brought gifts. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
7 Davide anatenga zishango zagolide zimene ankanyamula akuluakulu ankhondo a Hadadezeri ndi kubwera nazo ku Yerusalemu.
And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Kuchokera ku Teba ndi Kuni, mizinda ya Hadadezeri, Davide anatengako mkuwa wambiri umene Solomoni anapangira chimbiya, zipilala ndi zida zosiyanasiyana zamkuwa.
Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
9 Tou, mfumu ya Hamati atamva kuti Davide wagonjetsa gulu lonse lankhondo la Hadadezeri mfumu ya Zoba,
Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;
10 anatumiza mwana wake Hadoramu kwa mfumu Davide kukamulonjera ndi kukamuyamikira chifukwa cha kupambana kwake pa nkhondo yake ndi Hadadezeriyo, amene analinso pa nkhondo ndi Tou. Hadoramu anabweretsa ziwiya zosiyanasiyana zagolide, zasiliva ndi zamkuwa.
He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with Tou; ) and [with him] all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.
11 Mfumu Davide inapereka zinthu zimenezi kwa Yehova, monga anachitira ndi siliva ndi golide zochokera ku mayiko ena onse monga Edomu ndi Mowabu, Aamoni ndi Afilisti, ndi Aamaleki.
Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all [these] nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
12 Abisai mwana wa Zeruya anakantha Aedomu 18,000 mu Chigwa cha Mchere.
Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.
13 Iye anayika maboma ku Edomu, ndipo Aedomu onse anakhala pansi pa Davide. Yehova ankapambanitsa Davide kulikonse kumene ankapita.
And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David’s servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
14 Davide analamulira dziko lonse la Israeli ndipo ankachita zonse mwachilungamo ndi molondola pamaso pa anthu ake onse.
So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.
15 Yowabu, mwana wa Zeruya anali mkulu wa ankhondo; Yehosafati mwana wa Ahiludi anali mlembi wa zochitika;
And Joab the son of Zeruiah [was] over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder.
16 Zadoki, mwana wa Ahitubi ndi Ahimeleki mwana wa Abiatara anali ansembe; Savisa anali mlembi;
And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, [were] the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;
17 Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada anali mtsogoleri wa Akereti ndi Apeleti, ndipo ana a Davide anali alangizi a mfumu.
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was] over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David [were] chief about the king.
