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.
Después de esto, David golpeó a los filisteos y los sometió; y David tomó el freno de la ciudad madre de la mano de los filisteos.
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.
Derrotó a Moab, y los midió con el cordel, haciéndolos acostar en el suelo; y midió dos cordeles para darles muerte, y un cordel completo para mantenerlos vivos. Los moabitas se convirtieron en siervos de David, y trajeron tributo.
3 And David overcame Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, when he went to make his power seen by the River.
David también hirió a Hadadézer hijo de Rehob, rey de Soba, cuando iba a recuperar su dominio en el río.
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.
David le quitó mil setecientos jinetes y veinte mil hombres de a pie. David ató los caballos de los carros, pero reservó los suficientes para cien carros.
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.
Cuando los sirios de Damasco vinieron a ayudar a Hadadézer, rey de Soba, David hirió a veintidós mil hombres de los sirios.
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.
Entonces David puso guarniciones en Siria de Damasco, y los sirios se convirtieron en siervos de David y le trajeron tributo. El Señor le dio la victoria a David dondequiera que fuera.
7 And David took their gold body-covers from the servants of Hadadezer and took them to Jerusalem.
David tomó los escudos de oro que tenían los siervos de Hadadézer y los llevó a Jerusalén.
8 And from Tebah and Berothai, towns of Hadadezer, King David took a great store of brass.
De Betah y de Berothai, ciudades de Hadadzer, el rey David tomó una gran cantidad de bronce.
9 And when Tou, king of Hamath, had news that David had overcome all the army of Hadadezer,
Cuando Toi, rey de Hamat, se enteró de que David había golpeado a todo el ejército de Hadadézer,
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:
entonces Toi envió a Joram, su hijo, a saludar al rey David y a bendecirlo, porque había luchado contra Hadadézer y lo había golpeado; pues Hadadézer tenía guerras con Toi. Joram trajo consigo vasos de plata, vasos de oro y vasos de bronce.
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 —
El rey David también los dedicó a Yahvé, con la plata y el oro que dedicó de todas las naciones que sometió:
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.
de Siria, de Moab, de los hijos de Amón, de los filisteos, de Amalec y del botín de Hadadézer, hijo de Rehob, rey de Soba.
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.
David se ganó una reputación cuando volvió de abatir a dieciocho mil hombres de los sirios en el Valle de la Sal.
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.
Puso guarniciones en Edom. En todo Edom puso guarniciones, y todos los edomitas se convirtieron en siervos de David. El Señor le dio la victoria a David dondequiera que fuera.
15 And David was king over all Israel, judging and giving right decisions for all his people.
David reinó sobre todo Israel; y David hizo justicia y rectitud a todo su pueblo.
16 And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the army; and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was keeper of the records;
Joab, hijo de Sarvia, estaba al frente del ejército; Josafat, hijo de Ahilud, era secretario;
17 And Zadok and Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, were priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;
Sadoc, hijo de Ajitub, y Ajimelec, hijo de Abiatar, eran sacerdotes; Seraías era escriba;
18 And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were priests.
Benaía, hijo de Joiada, estaba al frente de los cereteos y de los peleteos; y los hijos de David eran ministros principales.
