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.
Ikaja kuwa wakati wa mvua, kipindi wafalme uenda vitani, Yoabu akaongaza jeshi kwenda kupambana na kusikitisha nchi ya Waamoni. Alienda na kuteka Raba. Daudi alibaki Yerusalemu. Yoabu alishambulia Raba na kuishinda.
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 alichukuwa taji la mfalme wao kichwani mwake, na akagundua linauzito wa talanta moja ya dhahabu, na ndani yake kulikuwa na mawe ya thamani. Taji liliwekwa kichwani mwa Daudi, na akaleta mali nyingi za mji.
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.
Aliwaleta watu walio kuwa ndani ya mji na kuwalazimisha wafanye kazi kwa msumeno na jembe na shoka. Daudi aliwataka watu wote wa mji kufanya kazi hii. Daudi na jeshi lote wakarudi Yerusalemu.
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.
Ilikuwa baada ya haya kukawa na pambano huko Gezeri na Wafilisti. Sibekai Mhushathi akamua Sipai, mmoja wa uzao wa Refaimu, na wa Filisti wakazidiwa.
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.
Ikawa tena katika pambano na Wafilisti huko Gobu, kwamba Elhanani mwana wa Yari Mbethilehemu akamua Lami kaka wa Goliathi Mgiti, ambaye mkuki wake ulikuwa kama gongo la mshonaji.
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,
Ikaja kuwa tena katika pambano lingine huko Gathi kwamba mwanaume mmoja aliye mrefu sana mwenye vidole sita kila mkono na vidole sita mguuni. Naye alikuwa pia wa uzao wa Refaimu.
7 and when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of David’s brother Shimei killed him.
Alipo dhihaki jeshi la Israeli, Yehonadabu mwana wa Shimea, kaka wa Daudi, akamuua.
8 So these descendants of Rapha in Gath fell at the hands of David and his servants.
Hawa walikuwa uzao wa Refaimu wa Gathi, na waliuawa na mkono wa Daudi na mkono wa wanajeshi wake.
