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.
Esi ɣeyiɣiawo va le yiyim la, David ɖu Filistitɔwo dzi eye wòbɔbɔ wo ɖe anyi, exɔ Gat kple kɔƒe siwo ƒo xlãe le Filistitɔwo si.
2 David also defeated the Moabites, and they became subject to David and brought him tribute.
David ɖu Moabtɔwo hã dzi, wozu etenɔlawo eye woxea adzɔga nɛ.
3 As far as Hamath, David also defeated King Hadadezer of Zobah, who had marched out to establish his dominion along the Euphrates River.
Eɖu Zoba fia, Hadadezer ƒe duwo dzi yi Hamat ke le esime wòyi be yeaɖo yeƒe fiaɖuƒe anyi le Frat tɔsisi la to.
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.
David lé sɔdola akpe adre kple afɔzɔla akpe blaeve, etu ata na sɔawo katã negbe wo dometɔ alafa ɖeka ko.
5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand men.
Esi Aramtɔwo tso Damasko va be yewoakpe ɖe Zoba fia Hadadezer ŋu la, David wu wo dometɔ akpe blaeve-vɔ-eve
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.
eye wòda asrafo aɖewo ɖe Aram le Damasko, si nye Aramtɔwo ƒe fiadu la me. Ale Aramtɔwo zu David tenɔlawo eye wodzɔa adzɔga nɛ ƒe sia ƒe. Ale Yehowa na David ɖua dzi le afi sia afi si wòyi.
7 And David took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.
David tsɔ Fia Hadadezer ƒe aʋakɔwo ƒe amegãwo ƒe sikakpoxɔnuwo va Yerusalem,
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.
kpe ɖe akɔbli geɖe tso Hadadezer ƒe du siwo nye Teba kple Kun la me la ŋu. Emegbe la, Fia Solomo lolo akɔbli la eye wòtsɔe wɔ gbedoxɔ la ƒe akɔbligazɔ kple akɔblisɔtiwo kple akɔblinu siwo ŋu dɔ wowɔna ne wole vɔ sam le vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
9 When King Tou of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,
Esime Hamat fia Tou se be Fia David si Zoba fia Hadadezer ƒe aʋakɔ blibo la,
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,
eɖo Via ŋutsu Hadoram ɖe Fia David gbɔ be wòado gbe nɛ, ada ŋkɔ ɖe edzi le eƒe dziɖuɖu ta eye wòatsɔ sika, klosalo kple akɔbli nɛ. Edi be yeawɔ ɖeka kple Fia David elabena eya kple Hadadezer nye futɔwo eye wowɔ aʋa geɖewo.
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.
Fia David kɔ nunana siawo kple klosalo kple sika si wòkpɔ tso Edomtɔwo, Moabtɔwo, Amonitɔwo, Amalekitɔwo kple Filistitɔwo gbɔ la ŋu na Yehowa.
12 Moreover, Abishai son of Zeruiah struck down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
Abisai, Zeruya ƒe vi, wu Edomtɔ akpe wuienyi le Dze Balime.
13 He placed garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
Eda asrafo aɖewo ɖe Edom eye Edomtɔwo zu David teviwo. Yehowa na wòɖua dzi le afi sia afi si wòayi.
14 Thus David reigned over all Israel and administered justice and righteousness for all his people:
David ɖu Israel blibo la dzi kple dzɔdzɔenyenye eye wòwɔ nyui na ame sia ame.
15 Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
Yoab, Zeruya ƒe vi, nɔ aʋakɔ la nu. Yehosafat, Ahilud ƒe vi, nye fia ƒe tsiami.
16 Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Shavsha was the scribe;
Zadok, Ahitub ƒe vi kple Ahimelek, Abiata ƒe vi nye nunɔlawo eye Sausa nye fia la ƒe nuŋlɔla.
17 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief officials at the king’s side.
Benaya, Yehoiada ƒe vi, nɔ Keretitɔwo kple Peletitɔwo, ame siwo nye fia la ŋu dzɔlawo ƒe amegãwo la nu le esime David ƒe viŋutsuwo nye fia la ŋumewo ƒe tatɔwo.
