2 Samuel 8
1 And it came about after this that David made an attack on the Philistines and overcame them; and David took the authority of the mother-town from the hands of the Philistines.
Patapita nthawi, Davide anagonjetsa Afilisti ndi kuwapambana ndipo analanda Metegi Ama kuchoka mʼmanja mwa Afilistiwo.
2 And he overcame the Moabites, and he had them measured with a line when they were stretched out on the earth; marking out two lines for death and one full line for life. So the Moabites became servants to David and gave him offerings.
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 And David overcame Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, when he went to make his power seen by the River.
Komanso Davide anagonjetsa Hadadezeri mwana wa Rehobu, mfumu ya Zoba, pamene anapita kukakhazikitsa ulamuliro wake mʼmbali mwa mtsinje wa Yufurate.
4 And David took from him one thousand, seven hundred horsemen and twenty thousand footmen: and David had the leg-muscles of the horses cut, only keeping enough of them for a hundred war-carriages.
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 And when the Aramaeans of Damascus came to the help of Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David put to the sword twenty-two thousand of the Aramaeans.
Aramu wa ku Damasiko atabwera kudzathandiza Hadadezeri mfumu ya Zoba, Davide anakantha asilikali 22,000.
6 And David put armed forces in Aram of Damascus: and the Aramaeans became servants to David and gave him offerings. And the Lord made David overcome 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 their gold body-covers from the servants of Hadadezer and took them to Jerusalem.
Davide anatenga zishango zagolide za akuluakulu ankhondo a Hadadezeri ndi kubwera nazo ku Yerusalemu.
8 And from Tebah and Berothai, towns of Hadadezer, King David took a great store of brass.
Mfumu Davide inatenga mkuwa wambiri kuchokera ku Beta ndi Berotai, mizinda ya Hadadezeri.
9 And when Tou, king of Hamath, had news that David had overcome all the army of Hadadezer,
Tou, mfumu ya Hamati atamva kuti Davide wagonjetsa gulu lonse lankhondo la Hadadezeri,
10 He sent his son Hadoram to David, with words of peace and blessing, because he had overcome Hadadezer in the fight, for Hadadezer had wars with Tou; and Hadoram took with him vessels of silver and gold and brass:
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 These King David made holy to the Lord, together with the silver and gold which he had taken from the nations he had overcome —
Mfumu Davide inapereka zinthu zimenezi kwa Yehova, monga anachitira ndi siliva ndi golide zochokera ku mayiko onse amene anawagonjetsa:
12 The nations of Edom and Moab, and the children of Ammon and the Philistines and the Amalekites and the goods he had taken from Hadadezer, the 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 got great honour for himself, when he came back, by the destruction of Edom in the valley of Salt, to the number of eighteen thousand men.
Ndipo Davide anatchuka atabwera kokakantha Aedomu 18,000 mu Chigwa cha Mchere.
14 And he put armed forces in Edom; all through Edom he had armed forces stationed, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.
Iye anayika maboma mʼdera lonse la Edomu, ndipo Aedomu onse anakhala pansi pa Davide. Yehova ankapambanitsa Davide kulikonse kumene ankapita.
15 And David was king over all Israel, judging and giving right decisions for all his people.
Davide analamulira dziko lonse la Israeli ndipo ankachita zonse mwachilungamo ndi molondola pamaso pa anthu ake onse.
16 And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the army; and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was keeper of the records;
Yowabu mwana wa Zeruya anali mkulu wa ankhondo; Yehosafati mwana wa Ahiludi anali mlembi wa zochitika.
17 And Zadok and Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, were priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;
Zadoki mwana wa Ahitubi ndi Ahimeleki mwana wa Abiatara anali ansembe; Seraya anali mlembi;
18 And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were priests.
Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada anali mtsogoleri wa Akereti ndi Apeleti; ndipo ana a Davide anali ansembe.
