2 Samuelova 8
1 Stalo se potom, že porazil David Filistinské, a zemdlil je; i vzal David Meteg Amma z ruky Filistinských.
Some time later, David’s army attacked the Philistia [army] and defeated them. They took control over the entire Philistia area.
2 Porazil také Moábské a změřil je provazcem, na zemi je rozprostíraje; a odměřil jich dva provazce k zbití a celý provazec k živení. I učiněni jsou Moábští Davidovi služebníci, a dávali jemu plat.
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 Porazil též David Hadadezera syna Rohobova, krále Soba, když byl vytáhl, aby rozšířil končiny své až k řece Eufraten.
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 A pobral mu David tisíc vozů a sedm set jezdců, a dvadceti tisíc mužů pěších, a zpodřezoval David žily všechněm koňům vozníkům; toliko zanechal z nich ke stu vozům.
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 Přitáhli pak byli Syrští od Damašku na pomoc Hadadezerovi králi Soba, ale David porazil z Syrských dvamecítma tisíc mužů.
When [the army of] Syria came from Damascus [city] to help King Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.
6 Tedy osadil David stráží Syrii Damašskou, a byli Syrští služebníci Davidovi, dávajíce plat; nebo zachovával Hospodin Davida, kamžkoli se obrátil.
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 Pobral také David štíty zlaté, kteréž měli služebníci Hadadezerovi, a přinesl je do Jeruzaléma.
David’s soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by Hadadezer’s officials, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Z Betach též a z Berot, měst Hadadezerových, nabral král David velmi mnoho mědi.
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 A když uslyšel Tohi král Emat, že porazil David všecko vojsko Hadadezerovo,
When Toi, the king of the Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
10 Poslal Tohi Jorama syna svého k králi Davidovi, aby ho pozdravil přátelsky, a spolu s ním se radoval z toho, že šťastně bojoval s Hadadezerem, a porazil ho; (nebo Hadadezer vedl válku proti Tohi). Kterýžto přinesl s sebou nádoby stříbrné, též nádoby zlaté a nádoby měděné.
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.
11 Ty také obětoval král David Hospodinu s stříbrem a zlatem posvěceným ze všech národů, kteréž podmanil,
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 Totiž z Syrských a Moábských, též z synů Ammon a z Filistinských, i z Amalechitských a z kořistí Hadadezera syna Rohobova, krále Soba.
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 Zvelebil také David své jméno, když se navracoval od pobití osmnácti tisíců Syrských v údolí solnatém.
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 Protož i nad Idumejskými stráž postavil, všecku krajinu Idumejskou stráží osadiv. I učiněni jsou všickni Idumejští služebníci Davidovi; nebo zachovával Hospodin Davida, kamž se koli obrátil.
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 I kraloval David nade vším Izraelem, a činil David soud a spravedlnost všemu lidu svému.
David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was fair and just.
16 Joáb pak syn Sarvie byl nad vojskem, a Jozafat syn Achiludův kancléřem;
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 Sádoch také syn Achitobův a Achimelech syn Abiatarův kněžími, a Saraiáš písařem.
Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the priests; Seraiah was the official secretary;
18 Benaiáš pak syn Joiadův byl nad Cheretejskými a Peletejskými, a synové Davidovi knížaty.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was the commander of (David’s bodyguards/the men who protected the king); and David’s sons were priests (OR, his administrators/advisors).
