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.
[達味的武功]此後，達味攻打培肋舍特人，將他們克服，由培肋舍特人手中，奪取了加特城及所屬村鎮。
2 David also defeated the Moabites, and they became subject to David and brought him tribute.
以後打敗了摩阿布，摩阿布人也臣屬於達味，給他進貢。
3 As far as Hamath, David also defeated King Hadadezer of Zobah, who had marched out to establish his dominion along the Euphrates River.
當祚巴哈瑪特王哈達德則爾向幼發拉的河伸展自己的勢力時，達味也打敗了他，
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.
擄獲了他的車輛一千，騎兵七千，步兵兩萬；達味割斷了所有拉戰車的馬蹄筋，只留下足以拉一百輛車的馬。
5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand men.
後有大馬士革的阿蘭人，來援助祚巴王哈達德則爾，達味擊殺了兩萬二千阿蘭人。
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.
達味遂在大馬士革阿蘭屯兵駐守，阿蘭也臣屬於達味，給他進貢；達味無論往那裏去，上主總使他獲勝。
7 And David took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.
達味奪了哈達德則爾臣僕所帶的金盾牌，送到耶路撒冷。
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.
達味又由貝塔和貢，哈達德則爾的兩座城內，奪取了大量的銅；以後撒羅滿用來作銅海、圓柱及銅器。
9 When King Tou of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,
哈瑪特王托烏，聽說達味打敗了祚巴王哈達德則爾所有的軍隊，
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,
便派自己的兒子哈多蘭到達味王那裏向他致敬，祝賀他打敗了哈達德則爾，因哈達德則爾原是托烏的敵人；他還送來了各種金、銀、銅器。
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.
達味王也將這些，連同那些由各民族，即厄東、摩阿布、阿孟子民、培肋舍特人、阿瑪肋克人所得來的金銀，一起奉獻給上主。
12 Moreover, Abishai son of Zeruiah struck down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
責魯雅的兒子阿彼瑟在鹽谷擊殺了一萬八千厄東人後，
13 He placed garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
達味遂又屯兵厄東，厄東人全臣屬於達味。達味無論往那裏去，上主總使他獲勝。[重要的朝臣]
14 Thus David reigned over all Israel and administered justice and righteousness for all his people:
達味作了全以色列的君王，對自己所有的人民秉公行義。
15 Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
責魯雅的兒子約阿布統領軍隊，阿希路得的兒子約沙法特為御史，
16 Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Shavsha was the scribe;
阿希托布的兒子匝多克和厄貝雅塔爾的兒子阿希默肋客任司祭，沙委沙為秘書，
17 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief officials at the king’s side.
約雅達的兒子貝納雅管理革勒提與培肋提人，達味的兒子們在君王左右為輔相。
