2 Samuel 8
1 Nogen Tid efter slog David Filisterne og undertvang dem, og David fratog Filisterne Meteg-Ha'amma.
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 Fremdeles slog han Moabiterne, og han målte dem med en Snor, idet han lod dem lægge sig ned på Jorden og afmålte to Snorlængder, der skulde dræbes, og een, der skulde blive i Live. Således blev Moabiterne Davids skatskyldige Undersåtter.
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 Ligeledes slog David Rehobs Søn, Kong Hadad'ezer af Zoba, da han var draget ud for at genoprette sit Herredømme ved Floden.
And David strikes Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, in his going to bring back his power by the River [Euphrates];
4 David fratog ham 1700 Ryttere og 20000 Mand Fodfolk og lod alle Stridshestene lamme på hundrede nær, som han skånede.
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 Og da Aramæerne fra Damaskus kom Hadad'ezer af Zoba til Hjælp, slog David 22000 Mand af Aramæerne.
And Aram of Damascus comes to give help to Hadadezer king of Zobah, and David strikes twenty-two thousand men of Aram;
6 Derpå indsatte David Fogeder i det damaskenske Aram, og Aramæerne blev Davids skatskyldige Undersåtter. Således, gav HERREN David Sejr, overalt hvor han drog frem.
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 Og David tog de Guldskjolde, Hadad'ezers Folk havde båret, og bragte dem til Jerusalem;
and David takes the shields of gold which were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brings them to Jerusalem;
8 og fra Hadad'ezers Byer Teba og Berotaj bortførte Kong David Kobber i store Mængder.
and from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David has taken very much bronze.
9 Men da Kong To'i af Hamat hørte, at David havde slået hele Hadad'ezers Stridsmagt,
And Toi king of Hamath hears that David has struck all the force of Hadadezer,
10 sendte han sin Søn Hadoram til Kong David for at hilse på ham og lykønske ham til, at han havde kæmpet med Hadad'ezer og slået ham - Hadad'ezer havde nemlig ligget i Krig med To'i - og han medbragte Sølv-, Guld- og Kobber-sager.
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 Også dem helligede Kong David HERREN tillige med det Sølv og Guld, han havde helliget af Byttet fra alle de undertvungne Folk,
also King David sanctified them to YHWH, with the silver and the gold which he sanctified of all the nations which he subdued:
12 Edom, Moab Ammoniterne, Filisterne, Amalek, og af det Bytte, han havde taget fra Rehobs Søn, Kong Hadad'ezer af Zoba.
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 Og David vandt sig et Navn. Da han vendte tilbage fra Sejren over Aram, slog han Edom i Saltdalen, 18000 Mand;
And David makes a name in his turning back from his striking Aram in the Valley of Salt—eighteen thousand;
14 derpå indsatte han Fogeder i Edom; i hele Edom indsatte han Fogeder, og alle Edomiterne blev Davids Undersåtter, Således gav HERREN David Sejr, overalt hvor han drog frem.
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 Og David var Konge over hele Israel, og han øvede Ret og Retfærdighed mod hele sit Folk.
And David reigns over all Israel, and David is doing judgment and righteousness to all his people,
16 Joab, Zerujas Søn, var sat over Hæren; Josjafat, Ahiluds Søn, var Kansler;
and Joab son of Zeruiah [is] over the host, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] remembrancer,
17 Zadok, Abitubs Søn, og Ebjatar, Ahimeleks Søn, var Præster; Seraja var Statsskriver;
and Zadok son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech son of Abiathar, [are] priests, and Seraiah [is] scribe,
18 Benaja, Jojadas Søn, var sat over Kreterne og Pleterne, og Davids Sønner var Præster.
and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is over] both the Cherethite and the Pelethite, and the sons of David have been ministers.
