< 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.
Thuutha wa mahinda macio-rĩ, Daudi nĩatharĩkĩire Afilisti na akĩmatooria biũ, na agĩtunyana Methegi-Amma kuuma watho-inĩ wa Afilisti.
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.
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 And David overcame Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, when he went to make his power seen by the River.
Daudi nĩahũũranire na Hadadezeri mũrũ wa Rehobu, mũthamaki wa Zoba, rĩrĩa aathiĩte gũcookia bũrũri ũrĩa aatunyĩtwo gũkuhĩ na Rũũĩ rwa Farati.
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.
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 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.
Rĩrĩa Asuriata a kuuma Dameski mookire gũteithia Hadadezeri mũthamaki wa Zoba, Daudi akĩũraga Asuriata ngiri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na igĩrĩ.
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.
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 their gold body-covers from the servants of Hadadezer and took them to Jerusalem.
Na rĩrĩ, Daudi agĩkuua ngo cia thahabu iria ciarĩ cia atongoria a Hadadezeri agĩcirehe Jerusalemu.
8 And from Tebah and Berothai, towns of Hadadezer, King David took a great store of brass.
Kuuma matũũra ma Teba na Berothai, marĩa maarĩ ma Hadadezeri, Mũthamaki Daudi agĩkuua kuuma kuo indo nyingĩ mũno cia gĩcango.
9 And when Tou, king of Hamath, had news that David had overcome all the army of Hadadezer,
Rĩrĩa Tou mũthamaki wa Hamathu aaiguire atĩ Daudi nĩahootete mbũtũ ciothe cia mbaara cia Hadadezeri-rĩ,
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:
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 These King David made holy to the Lord, together with the silver and gold which he had taken from the nations he had overcome —
Mũthamaki Daudi akĩamũrĩra Jehova indo icio, o ta ũrĩa aamũrĩte betha na thahabu kuuma ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ ciothe iria aatooretie.
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.
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 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.
Nake Daudi akĩgĩa igweta hĩndĩ ĩrĩa oimire kũũraga andũ a Edomu ngiri ikũmi na inyanya Gĩtuamba-inĩ gĩa Cumbĩ.
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.
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 And David was king over all Israel, judging and giving right decisions for all his people.
Daudi nĩathamakire Isiraeli guothe, akahũthagĩra kĩhooto, na akahingĩria andũ ake othe maũndũ marĩa maagĩrĩire.
16 And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the army; and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was keeper of the records;
Joabu mũrũ wa Zeruia nĩwe warĩ mũnene wa ita; nake Jehoshafatu mũrũ wa Ehiludu nĩwe warĩ mwandĩki wa maũndũ ma ihinda rĩu;
17 And Zadok and Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, were priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;
nake Zadoku mũrũ wa Ahitubu na Ahimeleku mũrũ wa Abiatharu maarĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai; nake Seraia aarĩ mwandĩki.
18 And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were priests.
Nake Benaia mũrũ wa Jehoiada nĩwe warĩ mũnene wa Akerethi na Apelethi; nao ariũ a Daudi maarĩ ataari a mũthamaki.
