1 Chronicles 20
1 In the spring, at the time when kings march out to war, Joab led out the army and ravaged the land of the Ammonites. He came to Rabbah and besieged it, but David remained in Jerusalem. And Joab attacked Rabbah and demolished it.
E kinde chakruok oro, e ndalo ma ruodhi thoro wuok kadhi kedo, Joab nowuok gi jolwenjgo momanore gi gige lweny. Ne omuko moketho piny jo-Amon bangʼe odhi Raba ma olwore gi jolweny, Daudi to nodongʼ Jerusalem. Joab nomonjo Raba moweyo kokethe chuth.
2 Then David took the crown from the head of their king. It was found to weigh a talent of gold and was set with precious stones, and it was placed on David’s head. And David took a great amount of plunder from the city.
Daudi nogolo osimbo ewi ruodhgi, ma pek mar dhahabu molosego nonwangʼ ni dirom kilo piero adek gangʼwen, kendo nochom kuome kite ma nengogi tek mi nosidhe ewi Daudi. Nokawo gik mangʼeny mane oyako e dala maduongʼno
3 David brought out the people who were there and put them to work with saws, iron picks, and axes. And he did the same to all the Ammonite cities. Then David and all his troops returned to Jerusalem.
kendo nodaro joma nodak kanyo moketogi e tich mar tiyogi musmende, kod tindo mag chuma kod ledhi. Daudi notimo mano ne mier duto mag jo-Amon. Bangʼe Daudi gi jolweny mage duto nodok Jerusalem.
4 Some time later, war broke out with the Philistines at Gezer. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, a descendant of the Rephaim, and the Philistines were subdued.
E kinde mamoko lweny nowuok Gezer e kindgi gi jo-Filistia. E ndalogo Sibekai ma ja-Hushath nonego Sipai mane en achiel kuom nyikwa Refai omiyo nolo jo-Filistia.
5 Once again there was a battle with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
E lweny machielo gi jo-Filistia, Elhanan wuod Jair nonego Lami ma owadgi Goliath ja-Giti mane ni kod tongʼ ma bonde romo gi lodi.
6 And there was still another battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He too was descended from Rapha,
Lweny machielo nochako owuok Gath, kama ne nitie ngʼat marabet mane nigi lith lwedo auchiel gi lith tielo auchiel koni gi koni, lith lwetene gi mag tiendene koriw to ne romo piero ariyo gangʼwen. En bende ne en nyakwar Rafa.
7 and when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of David’s brother Shimei killed him.
To kane othiano ni jo-Israel, Jonathan wuod Shimea ma owadgi Daudi nonege.
8 So these descendants of Rapha in Gath fell at the hands of David and his servants.
Magi ne nyikwa Rafa ja-Gath mane Daudi gi joge onego.
