< 2 Samuel 8 >
1 Some time later, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Metheg-ammah from the hand of the Philistines.
Thuutha wa mahinda macio-rĩ, Daudi nĩatharĩkĩire Afilisti na akĩmatooria biũ, na agĩtunyana Methegi-Amma kuuma watho-inĩ wa Afilisti.
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.
Ningĩ Daudi nĩatooririe andũ a Moabi. Agĩtũma makome thĩ na akĩmathima na ũraihu wa rũrigi. Aamathima-rĩ, ithimi igĩrĩ ciao makooragwo, na gĩthimi gĩa gatatũ mageetĩkĩrio matũũre muoyo. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Moabi magĩtuĩka ndungata cia Daudi na makamũrehagĩra igooti.
3 David also defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, who had marched out to restore his dominion along the Euphrates River.
Daudi nĩahũũranire na Hadadezeri mũrũ wa Rehobu, mũthamaki wa Zoba, rĩrĩa aathiĩte gũcookia bũrũri ũrĩa aatunyĩtwo gũkuhĩ na Rũũĩ rwa Farati.
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.
Nake Daudi akĩmũtunya ngaari ciake cia ita ngiri ĩmwe, na andũ a gũcitwara ngiri mũgwanja, na thigari cia magũrũ ngiri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ. Nake agĩtemenga mbarathi icio cia mbaara magũrũ agĩtũma ithue ciothe tiga o igana rĩmwe.
5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand men.
Rĩrĩa Asuriata a kuuma Dameski mookire gũteithia Hadadezeri mũthamaki wa Zoba, Daudi akĩũraga Asuriata ngiri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na igĩrĩ.
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.
Akĩiga mbũtũ cia kũrangĩra ũthamaki wa Asuriata kũu Dameski. Nao Asuriata magĩtuĩka a gwathagwo nĩwe makamũrehagĩra igooti. Jehova nĩaheaga Daudi ũhootani kũrĩa guothe aathiiaga.
7 And David took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.
Na rĩrĩ, Daudi agĩkuua ngo cia thahabu iria ciarĩ cia atongoria a Hadadezeri agĩcirehe Jerusalemu.
8 And from Betah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a large amount of bronze.
Kuuma matũũra ma Teba na Berothai, marĩa maarĩ ma Hadadezeri, Mũthamaki Daudi agĩkuua kuuma kuo indo nyingĩ mũno cia gĩcango.
9 When King Toi of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer,
Rĩrĩa Tou mũthamaki wa Hamathu aaiguire atĩ Daudi nĩahootete mbũtũ ciothe cia mbaara cia Hadadezeri-rĩ,
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,
agĩtũma mũriũ Joramu kũrĩ Mũthamaki Daudi akamũgeithie na amũkũngũĩre nĩ ũndũ wa kũhoota Hadadezeri, ũrĩa wakoretwo akĩrũa na Tou. Joramu akĩmũrehera indo cia betha na cia thahabu, o na cia gĩcango.
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—
Mũthamaki Daudi akĩamũrĩra Jehova indo icio, o ta ũrĩa aamũrĩte betha na thahabu kuuma ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ ciothe iria aatooretie.
12 from Edom and Moab, from the Ammonites and Philistines and Amalekites, and from the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
Nacio nĩ Edomu na Moabi, na Aamoni na Afilisti, na Amaleki. Ningĩ akĩamũra indo iria aatahĩte kuuma kũrĩ Hadadezeri mũrũ wa Rehobu mũthamaki wa Zoba.
13 And David made a name for himself when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
Nake Daudi akĩgĩa igweta hĩndĩ ĩrĩa oimire kũũraga andũ a Edomu ngiri ikũmi na inyanya Gĩtuamba-inĩ gĩa Cumbĩ.
14 He placed garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
Nake akĩiga thigari cia kũrangĩra Edomu guothe, nao andũ a Edomu othe magĩtuĩka ndungata cia Daudi. Nake Jehova nĩaheaga Daudi ũhootani kũrĩa guothe aathiiaga.
15 Thus David reigned over all Israel and administered justice and righteousness for all his people:
Daudi nĩathamakire Isiraeli guothe, akahũthagĩra kĩhooto, na akahingĩria andũ ake othe maũndũ marĩa maagĩrĩire.
16 Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
Joabu mũrũ wa Zeruia nĩwe warĩ mũnene wa ita; nake Jehoshafatu mũrũ wa Ehiludu nĩwe warĩ mwandĩki wa maũndũ ma ihinda rĩu;
17 Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Seraiah was the scribe;
nake Zadoku mũrũ wa Ahitubu na Ahimeleku mũrũ wa Abiatharu maarĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai; nake Seraia aarĩ mwandĩki.
18 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were priestly leaders.
Nake Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada nĩwe warĩ mũnene wa Akerethi na Apelethi; nao ariũ a Daudi maarĩ ataari a mũthamaki.
