1 Chronicles 18

1 Some time later, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Gath and its villages from the hand of the Philistines.

١ وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ هَزَمَ دَاوُدُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَأَخْضَعَهُمْ وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَى جَتَّ وَضِيَاعِهَا مِنْهُمْ.

2 David also defeated the Moabites, and they became subject to David and brought him tribute.

٢ وَقَهَرَ الْمُوآبِيِّينَ وَاسْتَعْبَدَهُمْ، فَصَارُوا يُؤَدُّونَ لَهُ الْجِزْيَةَ.

3 As far as Hamath, David also defeated King Hadadezer of Zobah, who had marched out to establish his dominion along the Euphrates River.

٣ وَهَاجَمَ دَاوُدُ هَدَدْعَزَرَ مَلِكَ صُوبَةَ فِي حَمَاةَ حِينَ ذَهَبَ لِفَرْضِ سُلْطَتِهِ عِنْدَ نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ،

4 David captured from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand charioteers, and twenty thousand foot soldiers, and he hamstrung all the horses except a hundred he kept for the chariots.

٤ وَاسْتَوْلَى دَاوُدُ عَلَى أَلْفِ مَرْكَبَةٍ مِنْ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ، وَأَسَرَ سَبْعَةَ آلافِ فَارِسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ رَاجِلٍ، وَعَرْقَبَ دَاوُدُ كُلَّ خَيْلِ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ. وَلَمْ يُبْقِ لِنَفْسِهِ سِوَى مِئَةِ مَرْكَبَةٍ.

5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand men.

٥ وَعِنْدَمَا أَسْرَعَ أَرَامِيُّو دِمَشْقَ لِنَجْدَةِ هَدَدْعَزَرَ مَلِكِ صُوبَةَ قَتَلَ دَاوُدُ مِنْهُمُ اثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ،

6 Then he placed garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became subject to David and brought him tribute. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.

٦ وَأَقَامَ حَامِيَةً فِي أَرَامَ دِمَشْقَ، فَصَارَ الأَرَامِيُّونَ خَاضِعِينَ لِدَاوُدَ يُؤَدُّونَ لَهُ الْجِزْيَةَ. وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ يَنْصُرُ دَاوُدَ أَيْنَمَا تَوَجَّهَ.

7 And David took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.

٧ وَغَنِمَ دَاوُدُ أَتْرَاسَ الذَّهَبِ الَّتِي كَانَ يَحْمِلُهَا ضُبَّاطُ هَدَدْعَزَرَ وَأَتَى بِها إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ،

8 And from Tibhath and Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David took a large amount of bronze, with which Solomon made the bronze Sea, the pillars, and various bronze articles.

٨ كَمَا نَقَلَ كَمِّيَّةً هَائِلَةً مِنَ النُّحَاسِ مِنْ مَدِينَتَيْ طَبْحَةَ وَخُونَ مَدِينَتَيْ هَدَدْعَزَرَ فَعَمِلَ مِنْهَا سُلَيْمَانُ بِرْكَةَ النُّحَاسِ وَالأَعْمِدَةَ وَآنِيَةَ النُّحَاسِ.

9 When King Tou of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,

٩ وَعِنْدَمَا عَلِمَ تُوعُو مَلِكُ حَمَاةَ أَنَّ دَاوُدَ قَدْ دَحَرَ جَيْشَ هَدَدْعَزَرَ مَلِكِ صُوبَةَ،

10 he sent his son Hadoram to greet King David and bless him for fighting and defeating Hadadezer, who had been at war with Tou. Hadoram brought all kinds of articles of gold and silver and bronze,

١٠ أَرْسَلَ هَدُورَامَ ابْنَهُ إِلَى الْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ مُحَمَّلاً بِهَدَايَا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ وَنُحَاسٍ، لِيُهَنِّئَهُ وَيُبَارِكَهُ، لأَنَّهُ هَزَمَ هَدَدْعَزَرَ، إذْ إِنَّ هَدَدْعَزَرَ كَانَ دَائِماً يَشُنُّ عَلَيْهِ حُرُوباً.

11 and King David dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had carried off from all these nations—from Edom and Moab, and from the Ammonites, Philistines, and Amalekites.

١١ فَخَصَّصَ دَاوُدُ لِلرَّبِّ هَذِهِ الْهَدَايَا مَعَ كُلِّ مَا اسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهِ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ مِمَّا غَنِمَهُ مِنَ الأُمَمِ كَالأَدُومِيِّينَ وَالْمُوآبِيِّينَ وَالْعَمُّونِيِّينَ وَالْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَعَمَالِيقَ.

12 Moreover, Abishai son of Zeruiah struck down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

١٢ وَقَضَى أَبْشَايُ ابْنُ صَرُويَةَ عَلَى ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفاً مِنَ الأَدُومِيِّينَ فِي وَادِي الْمِلْحِ،

13 He placed garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.

١٣ وَأَقَامَ حَامِيَةً مِنْ جُنُودِهِ فِي بِلادِ أَدُومَ، فَصَارَ جَمِيعُ الأَدُومِيِّينَ خَاضِعِينَ لِدَاوُدَ. وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ يَنْصُرُ دَاوُدَ أَيْنَمَا تَوَجَّهَ.

14 Thus David reigned over all Israel and administered justice and righteousness for all his people:

١٤ وَمَلَكَ دَاوُدُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ أَرْجَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَعَدَلَ بَيْنَ شَعْبِهِ وَأَنْصَفَ.

15 Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;

١٥ وَكَانَ يُوآبُ ابْنُ صَرُويَةَ قَائِدَ الْجَيْشِ، وَيهَوُشَافَاطُ بْنُ أَخِيلُودَ مُسَجِّلاً،

16 Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Shavsha was the scribe;

١٦ وَصَادُوقُ بْنُ أَخِيطُوبَ وَأَبِيمَالِكُ بْنُ أَبِيَاثَارَ كَاهِنَيْنِ، وَشُوشَا أَمِينَ سِرِّ الْمَلِكِ،

17 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief officials at the king’s side.

١٧ وَبَنَايَا بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ رَئِيسَ الْحَرَسِ الْمَلَكِيِّ. أَمَّا أَبْنَاءُ دَاوُدَ فَكَانُوا يَتَوَلَّوْنَ مَنَاصِبَ كِبَارِ الْمُوَظَّفِينَ فِي خِدْمَةِ الْمَلِكِ.
