Kings II 8
1 And it came to pass after this, that David smote the Philistines, and put them to flight, and David took the tribute from out of the hand of the Philistines.
Ei tid deretter vann David yver filistarane og lagde deim under seg. David fekk dermed teke taumarne yver hovudstaden utor henderne på filistarne.
2 And David smote Moab, and measured them out with lines, having laid them down on the ground: and there were two lines for slaying, and two lines he kept alive: and Moab became servants to David, yielding tribute.
So vann han yver moabitarne; deim mælte han med ei snor, det vil segja: han let deim leggja seg ned på marki, og mælte med tvo snorlengder deim som skulde lata livet, og med ei snorlengd deim som skulde liva. Moabitarne vart David undergjevne og laut leggja skatt.
3 And David smote Adraazar the son of Raab king of Suba, as he went to extend his power to the river Euphrates.
Dessutan vann David yver Soba-kongen Hadadezer Rehobsson, då han for i herferd og vilde tøygja magti si alt til Storelvi.
4 And David took a thousand of his chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all his chariot [horses], and he reserved to himself a hundred chariots.
David tok syttan hundrad hestfolk og tjuge tusund fotfolk. Og David let skjera sund hasarne på alle vognhestarne, sparde berre hundrad hestar.
5 And Syria of Damascus comes to help Adraazar king of Suba, and David smote twenty-two thousand men belonging to the Syrian.
Då Syria-folket frå Damaskus kom Soba-kongen Hadadezer til hjelp, slo David tvo og tjuge tusund Syria-menner.
6 And David placed a garrison in Syria near Damascus, and the Syrians became servants and tributaries to David: and the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went.
David sette hervakter yver syrarane i Damaskus, og Syria-folket vart David undergjevne og laut leggja skatt. Soleis gav Herren David siger kvar helst han for fram.
7 And David took the golden bracelets which were on the servants of Adraazar king of Suba, and brought them to Jerusalem. And Susakim king of Egypt took them, when he went up to Jerusalem in the days of Roboam son of Solomon.
David tok dei gylte skjoldarne som Hadadezer-folki hadde bore, og førde til Jerusalem.
8 And king David took from Metebac, and from the choice cities of Adraazar, very much brass: with that Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the lavers, and all the furniture.
Og frå Hadadezer-byarne Betah og Berotai tok kong David store mengder av kopar.
9 And Thou the king of Hemath heard that David had smitten all the host of Adraazar.
Då Hamat-kongen To’i frette at David hadde vunne yver heile Hadadezer-heren,
10 And Thou sent Jedduram his son to king David, to ask him of his welfare, and to congratulate him on his fighting against Adraazar and smiting him, for he was an enemy to Adraazar: and in his hands were vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass.
sende han Joram, son sin, til kong David til å helsa på honom og ynskja honom til lukka med krigen mot Hadadezer og med sigeren yver honom - for Hadadeser hadde jamt ført krig mot To’i - og han hadde med seg kostnadting av sylv, av gull og av kopar.
11 And these king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and with the gold which he consecrated out of all the cities which he conquered,
Kong David vigde deim og til Herren, like eins som han hadde gjort med sylvet og gullet frå folki han hadde lagt under seg:
12 out of Idumea, and out of Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalec, and from the spoils of Adraazar son of Raab king of Suba.
frå syrarane, moabitarne, ammonitarne, filistarane og amalekitarne; like eins med herfanget frå Soba-kongen Hadadezer Rehobsson.
13 And David made [himself] a name: and when he returned he smote Idumea in Gebelem to [the number of] eighteen thousand.
Då David kom heim etter sigeren yver syrarane, auka han frægdi si med di han slo attan tusund mann i Saltdalen.
14 And he set garrisons in Idumea, even in all Idumea: and all the Idumeans were servants to the king. And the Lord preserved David wherever he went.
Han sette hervakter yver Edom; i heile Edomlandet sette han vakter; og alle edomitarne vart David undergjevne. Soleis gav Herren David siger kvar helst han drog fram.
15 And David reigned over all Israel: and David wrought judgment and justice over all his people.
David var no konge yver heile Israel. Og David skipa lov og rett for heile folket sitt.
16 And Joab the son of Saruia [was] over the host; and Josaphat the son of Achilud [was keeper] of the records.
Joab Serujason var øvste herhovding. Josafat Ahiludsson var kanslar.
17 And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech son of Abiathar, [were] priests; and Sasa [was] the scribe,
Sadok Ahitubsson og Ahimelek Abjatarsson var prestar. Og Seraja var riksskrivar.
18 and Banaeas son of Jodae [was] councillor, and the Chelethite and the Phelethite, and the sons of David, were princes of the court.
Benaja Jojadason var hovding yver livvakti. Sønerne åt David var prestar.
