撒母耳记下 8
1 此后，大卫攻打非利士人，把他们治服，从他们手下夺取了京城的权柄；
And it comes to pass afterward that David strikes the Philistines, and humbles them, and David takes the bridle of the metropolis out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 又攻打摩押人，使他们躺卧在地上，用绳量一量：量二绳的杀了，量一绳的存留。摩押人就归服大卫，给他进贡。
And he strikes Moab, and measures them with a line, causing them to lie down on the earth, and he measures two lines to put to death, and the fullness of the line to keep alive, and the Moabites are for servants to David, bearers of a present.
3 琐巴王利合的儿子哈大底谢往大河去，要夺回他的国权。大卫就攻打他，
And David strikes Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, in his going to bring back his power by the River [Euphrates];
4 擒拿了他的马兵一千七百，步兵二万，将拉战车的马砍断蹄筋，但留下一百辆车的马。
and David captures from him one thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and David utterly destroys the whole of the charioteers; he leaves only one hundred of their charioteers.
5 大马士革的亚兰人来帮助琐巴王哈大底谢，大卫就杀了亚兰人二万二千。
And Aram of Damascus comes to give help to Hadadezer king of Zobah, and David strikes twenty-two thousand men of Aram;
6 于是大卫在大马士革的亚兰地设立防营，亚兰人就归服他，给他进贡。大卫无论往哪里去，耶和华都使他得胜。
and David puts garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and Aram is for a servant to David, carrying a present; and YHWH saves David wherever he has gone;
7 他夺了哈大底谢臣仆所拿的金盾牌，带到耶路撒冷。
and David takes the shields of gold which were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brings them to Jerusalem;
8 大卫王又从属哈大底谢的比他和比罗他城中夺取了许多的铜。
and from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David has taken very much bronze.
9 哈马王陀以听见大卫杀败哈大底谢的全军，
And Toi king of Hamath hears that David has struck all the force of Hadadezer,
10 就打发他儿子约兰去见大卫王，问他的安，为他祝福，因为他杀败了哈大底谢（原来陀以与哈大底谢常常争战）。约兰带了金银铜的器皿来，
and Toi sends his son Joram to King David to ask of him of welfare, and to bless him (because that he has fought against Hadadezer, and strikes him, for Hadadezer had been a man of wars [with] Toi), and in his hand have been vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze,
11 大卫王将这些器皿和他治服各国所得来的金银都分别为圣，献给耶和华，
also King David sanctified them to YHWH, with the silver and the gold which he sanctified of all the nations which he subdued:
12 就是从亚兰、摩押、亚扪、非利士、亚玛力人所得来的，以及从琐巴王利合的儿子哈大底谢所掠之物。
of Aram, and of Moab, and of the sons of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob king of Zobah.
13 大卫在盐谷击杀了亚兰一万八千人回来，就得了大名；
And David makes a name in his turning back from his striking Aram in the Valley of Salt—eighteen thousand;
14 又在以东全地设立防营，以东人就都归服大卫。大卫无论往哪里去，耶和华都使他得胜。
and he puts garrisons in Edom—he has put garrisons in all of Edom, and all Edom are servants to David; and YHWH saves David wherever he has gone.
15 大卫作以色列众人的王，又向众民秉公行义。
And David reigns over all Israel, and David is doing judgment and righteousness to all his people,
16 洗鲁雅的儿子约押作元帅；亚希律的儿子约沙法作史官；
and Joab son of Zeruiah [is] over the host, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] remembrancer,
17 亚希突的儿子撒督和亚比亚他的儿子亚希米勒作祭司长；西莱雅作书记；
and Zadok son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech son of Abiathar, [are] priests, and Seraiah [is] scribe,
18 耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅统辖基利提人和比利提人。大卫的众子都作领袖。
and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is over] both the Cherethite and the Pelethite, and the sons of David have been ministers.
