2 Samuel 8
1 Some time later, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Metheg-ammah from the hand of the Philistines.
ikawa baada ya haya Daudi aliwashambulia Wafilisti na kuwashinda. Hivyo Daudi akaichukua Gathi na vijiji vyake kutoka katika mamlaka ya wafilisti.
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.
Kisha akaishinda Moabu na akawapima watu wake kwa mstari kwa kuwafanya walale chini juu ya ardhi. Alipima mistari miwili ya kuua, na mstari mmoja kamili kuwahifadhi hai. Hivyo Wamoabu wakawa watumishi wa Daudi na wakaanza kumlipa kodi.
3 David also defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, who had marched out to restore his dominion along the Euphrates River.
Kisha Daudi akamshinda Hadadezeri mwana wa Rehobu, mfalme wa Soba, Hadadezeri aliposafiri kuurudisha ufalme wake katika mto Frati.
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 aliteka magari 1, 700 ya farasi na askari ishirini elfu waendao kwa miguu. Daudi akawakata miguu farasi wa magari, lakini akahifadhi wakutosha magari mia moja.
5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand men.
Wakati Washami wa Dameski walipokuja kumsaidia Hadadeziri mfalme wa Soba, Daudi akaua katika Washami watu ishirini na mbili elfu.
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.
Daudi akaweka ngome huko Shamu ya Dameski, na Washami wakawa watumishi wake na wakaleta kodi. Yahwe akampa Daudi ushindi kila alikokwenda.
7 And David took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.
Daudi akachukua ngao za dhahabu walizokuwa nazo watumishi wa Hadadezeri naye akazileta Yerusalemu.
8 And from Betah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a large amount of bronze.
Mfalme Daudi akachukua shaba nyingi kutoka Beta na Berosai, miji ya Hadadezeri.
9 When King Toi of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer,
Wakati Tou, mfalme wa Hamathi, aliposikia kwamba Daudi amelishinda jeshi lote 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,
Tou akamtuma Hadoramu mwanawe kwa mfalme Daudi kumpa salamu na kumbariki, kwa kuwa Daudi alikuwa amepigana na Hadadezeri na kumshinda, maana Hadadezeri alikuwa amepiga vita dhidi ya Tou. Hadoramu akaja pamoja na vitu vya fedha, dhahabu, na shaba.
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—
Mfalme Daudi akaviweka wakfu vitu hivi kwa ajili ya Yahwe, pamoja na fedha na dhahabu kutoka katika mataifa yote aliyokuwa ameyashinda-
12 from Edom and Moab, from the Ammonites and Philistines and Amalekites, and from the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
kutoka Shamu, Moabu, Waamoni, Wafilist, Waamaleki, pamoja na nyara zote alizoziteka kutoka kwa Hadadezeri mwana wa Rehobu, mfalme wa Soba.
13 And David made a name for himself when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
Jina la Daudi likajulikana sana alipowashinda washami katika bonde la Chumvi, pamoja na watu wao wapatao elfu kumi na nane.
14 He placed garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
Akaweka ngome katika Edomu yote, na Waedomu wote wakawa watumishi wake. Yahwe akampa Daudi ushindi kila alipokwenda.
15 Thus David reigned over all Israel and administered justice and righteousness for all his people:
Daudi akatawala juu ya Israeli yote, naye akatenda kwa haki na usawa kwa watu wote.
16 Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
Yoabu mwana wa Seruya alikuwa mkuu wa jeshi, na Yehoshafati mwana wa Ahiludi alikuwa mwenye kuandika taarifa.
17 Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Seraiah was the scribe;
Sadoki mwana wa Ahitubu na Ahimeleki mwana wa Abiathari walikuwa makuhani, na Seraya alikuwa mwandishi.
18 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were priestly leaders.
Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada alikuwa juu ya Wakerethi na Wapelethi, na wana wa Daudi walikuwa washauri wa mfalme.
