2 Samuel 8
1 Some time later, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Metheg-ammah from the hand of the Philistines.
Patapita nthawi, Davide anagonjetsa Afilisti ndi kuwapambana ndipo analanda Metegi Ama kuchoka mʼmanja mwa Afilistiwo.
2 David also defeated the Moabites, made them lie down on the ground, and measured them off with a cord. He measured off with two lengths those to be put to death, and with one length those to be spared. So the Moabites became subject to David and brought him tribute.
Davide anagonjetsanso Amowabu. Iye anawalamula kuti agone pansi mʼmizere itatu pa gulu lililonse ndipo anawayeza ndi chingwe. Pa gulu lililonse ankapha anthu amene anali pa mizere iwiri yoyamba, kusiyapo mzere wachitatu. Kotero Amowabu anakhala pansi pa ulamuliro wa Davide ndipo ankapereka msonkho.
3 David also defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, who had marched out to restore his dominion along the Euphrates River.
Komanso Davide anagonjetsa Hadadezeri mwana wa Rehobu, mfumu ya Zoba, pamene anapita kukakhazikitsa ulamuliro wake mʼmbali mwa mtsinje wa Yufurate.
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.
Davide analanda magaleta 1,000, anthu 7,000 okwera magaleta pamodzi ndi asilikali oyenda pansi 20,000. Iye anadula mitsempha ya akavalo onse okoka magaleta, koma anasiyapo akavalo 100 okha.
5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand men.
Aramu wa ku Damasiko atabwera kudzathandiza Hadadezeri mfumu ya Zoba, Davide anakantha asilikali 22,000.
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.
Iye anakhazikitsa maboma mu ufumu wa Aramu wa ku Damasiko, ndipo Aaramu anakhala pansi pa ulamuliro wake ndipo ankapereka msonkho. Yehova ankamupatsa chipambano Davide kulikonse kumene ankapita.
7 And David took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.
Davide anatenga zishango zagolide za akuluakulu ankhondo a Hadadezeri ndi kubwera nazo ku Yerusalemu.
8 And from Betah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a large amount of bronze.
Mfumu Davide inatenga mkuwa wambiri kuchokera ku Beta ndi Berotai, mizinda ya Hadadezeri.
9 When King Toi of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer,
Tou, mfumu ya Hamati atamva kuti Davide wagonjetsa gulu lonse lankhondo la Hadadezeri,
10 he sent his son Joram to greet King David and bless him for fighting and defeating Hadadezer, who had been at war with Toi. Joram brought with him articles of silver and gold and bronze,
anatumiza mwana wake Yoramu kwa mfumu Davide kukamulonjera ndi kukamuyamikira chifukwa cha kupambana kwake pa nkhondo yake ndi Hadadezeriyo, amene analinso pa nkhondo ndi Tou. Yoramu anabweretsa ziwiya zasiliva, zagolide ndi zamkuwa.
11 and King David dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had dedicated from all the nations he had subdued—
Mfumu Davide inapereka zinthu zimenezi kwa Yehova, monga anachitira ndi siliva ndi golide zochokera ku mayiko onse amene anawagonjetsa:
12 from Edom and Moab, from the Ammonites and Philistines and Amalekites, and from the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
Edomu ndi Mowabu, Aamoni ndi Afilisti, ndi Aamaleki. Iye anaperekanso zolanda ku nkhondo zochokera kwa Hadadezeri mwana wa Rehobu, mfumu ya Zoba.
13 And David made a name for himself when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
Ndipo Davide anatchuka atabwera kokakantha Aedomu 18,000 mu Chigwa cha Mchere.
14 He placed garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
Iye anayika maboma mʼdera lonse la Edomu, ndipo Aedomu onse anakhala pansi pa Davide. Yehova ankapambanitsa Davide kulikonse kumene ankapita.
15 Thus David reigned over all Israel and administered justice and righteousness for all his people:
Davide analamulira dziko lonse la Israeli ndipo ankachita zonse mwachilungamo ndi molondola pamaso pa anthu ake onse.
16 Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
Yowabu mwana wa Zeruya anali mkulu wa ankhondo; Yehosafati mwana wa Ahiludi anali mlembi wa zochitika.
17 Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Seraiah was the scribe;
Zadoki mwana wa Ahitubi ndi Ahimeleki mwana wa Abiatara anali ansembe; Seraya anali mlembi;
18 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were priestly leaders.
Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada anali mtsogoleri wa Akereti ndi Apeleti; ndipo ana a Davide anali ansembe.
