2 Samuel 8

1 Some time later, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Metheg-ammah from the hand of the Philistines.

Bangʼ kinde moko Daudi noloyo jo-Filistia ma gibedo e bwo lochne, kendo nokawo Metheg Ama mogolo e loch jo-Filistia.

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.

Daudi noloyo jo-Moab bende. Noketogi ma ginindo piny eka nopimogi gi tol. Kano pimogi diriyo to mago ninego to mane opim mar adek ne iweyo kangima. Omiyo jo-Moab nobedo e bwo loch Daudi kendo negigolone osuru.

3 David also defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, who had marched out to restore his dominion along the Euphrates River.

Bende Daudi nokedo gi Hadadezer wuod Rehob, ma ruodh Zoba, eka nodhi mondo ogur lochne e dho Aora Yufrate.

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.

Daudi nomako geche lweny alufu achiel gi joidh farese alufu abiriyo, gi jolweny mawuotho gi tiendgi alufu piero ariyo. Nongʼado odond farese duto.

5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand men.

Kane jo-Aram moa Damaski obiro konyo Hadadezer ruodh Zoba, Daudi nonego ji alufu piero ariyo gariyo kuomgi.

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.

Noketo kambi mag jolwenje e dala maduongʼ mar Damaski e piny jo-Aram kendo jo-Aram nobedo e bwo lochne kendo negikelone osuru. Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo Daudi olocho kamoro amora mane odhiye.

7 And David took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.

Daudi nokawo kuodi molos gi dhahabu mane mag jotend lweny mar Hadadezer, mi okelogi Jerusalem.

8 And from Betah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a large amount of bronze.

Ruoth Daudi nokawo mula mogundho chakre Teba nyaka Berothai mane gin miech Hadadezer.

9 When King Toi of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer,

Kane Tou ruodh Hamath owinjo ni Daudi noloyo jolweny duto mag Hadadezer,

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,

nooro wuode miluongo ni Joram ir Ruoth Daudi mondo omose kendo opake kuom loch moloyogo Hadadezer, manosebedo kakedo gi Tou. Joram nokelo gik molos gi fedha, dhahabu to gi mula.

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—

Ruoth Daudi nowalo gigi duto momiyo Jehova Nyasaye, mana kaka nosetimo gi fedha gi dhahabu mane oa kuom ogendini mane oloyo kaka:

12 from Edom and Moab, from the Ammonites and Philistines and Amalekites, and from the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

Edom gi Moab gi jo-Amon gi jo-Filistia, gi Amalek. E kaka nowalo bende gik mane oyaki mag Hadadezer wuod Rehob, ma ruodh Zoba.

13 And David made a name for himself when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

Kendo Daudi humbe nolandore koa nego jo-Edom alufu apar gaboro e Holo mar Chumbi.

14 He placed garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.

Bangʼe noketo kambi askeche e piny Edom duto, mi jo-Edom nobedo e bwo loch Daudi. Kamoro amora ma Daudi nodhiye Jehova Nyasaye nomiye loch.

15 Thus David reigned over all Israel and administered justice and righteousness for all his people:

Daudi nobedo ruodh jo-Israel duto, kotimo maber kendo makare ni joge duto.

16 Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;

Joab wuod Zeruya ne jatend jolweny; Jehoshafat wuod Ahilud ne jachan weche;

17 Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Seraiah was the scribe;

Zadok wuod Ahitub gi Ahimelek wuod Abiathar ne jodolo; Seraya ne jagoro;

18 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were priestly leaders.

Benaya wuod Jehoyada ne jatend jo-Kereth gi jo-Peleth; to yawuot Daudi to ne jangʼad rieko mar joka ruoth.
