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.
Baada ya muda, Daudi akawashinda Wafilisti na kuwatiisha, naye akautwaa Metheg-Amma kutoka mikononi mwa Wafilisti.
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.
Pia Daudi akawashinda Wamoabu. Akawafanya walale chini kwa mstari akawapima kwa urefu wa kamba. Kila alipopima urefu wa hiyo kamba mara mbili hilo kundi waliuawa na alipopima mara ya tatu aliwaacha hai. Kwa hiyo Wamoabu wakawa chini ya Daudi nao wakamletea kodi.
3 And David smote Adraazar the son of Raab king of Suba, as he went to extend his power to the river Euphrates.
Zaidi ya hayo, Daudi akapigana na Hadadezeri mwana wa Rehobu, mfalme wa Soba, alipokwenda kurudisha tena utawala wake kwenye eneo la Mto Frati.
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.
Daudi akateka magari yake ya vita 1,000, askari wapanda farasi 7,000 na askari 20,000 watembeao kwa miguu. Daudi akawakata wale farasi wote wakokotao magari mishipa ya miguu, isipokuwa farasi 100 hakuwakata.
5 And Syria of Damascus comes to help Adraazar king of Suba, and David smote twenty-two thousand men belonging to the Syrian.
Waaramu wa Dameski walipokuja kumsaidia Hadadezeri mfalme wa Soba, Daudi akawashambulia na kuwaua 22,000 miongoni mwao.
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.
Daudi akaweka askari walinzi katika ufalme wa Waaramu huko Dameski, nao Waaramu wakawa watumwa wake na kumlipa ushuru. Bwana akampa Daudi ushindi kote alipokwenda.
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.
Daudi akazitwaa ngao za dhahabu zilizokuwa za maafisa wa Hadadezeri na kuzileta Yerusalemu.
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.
Kutoka miji ya Beta na Berothai, iliyokuwa miji ya Hadadezeri, Mfalme Daudi akatwaa shaba nyingi sana.
9 And Thou the king of Hemath heard that David had smitten all the host of Adraazar.
Tou, mfalme wa Hamathi, aliposikia kwamba Daudi amelishinda jeshi lote la Hadadezeri,
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.
akamtuma mwanawe Yoramu kwa Mfalme Daudi kumsalimu na kumpongeza kwa ushindi wake katika vita dhidi ya Hadadezeri, kwa kuwa Hadadezeri alikuwa amepigana vita na Tou. Yoramu akamletea Daudi vyombo vya fedha, dhahabu na shaba.
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,
Mfalme Daudi akaviweka vifaa hivi wakfu kwa Bwana, kama vile alivyokuwa amefanya kwa fedha na dhahabu kutoka kwa mataifa yote aliyokuwa ameyashinda:
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.
yaani Edomu, Moabu, Waamoni, Wafilisti na Waamaleki. Pia akaweka wakfu nyara alizoteka kutoka kwa Hadadezeri mwana wa Rehobu, mfalme wa Soba.
13 And David made [himself] a name: and when he returned he smote Idumea in Gebelem to [the number of] eighteen thousand.
Naye Daudi akapata sifa baada ya kurudi kutoka kuwaua Waedomu 18,000 katika Bonde la Chumvi.
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.
Akaweka kambi za askari walinzi katika Edomu yote, nao Waedomu wakawa chini ya Daudi. Bwana alimpatia Daudi ushindi kila alipokwenda.
15 And David reigned over all Israel: and David wrought judgment and justice over all his people.
Daudi akatawala Israeli yote, akitenda lililo haki na sawa kwa watu wake wote.
16 And Joab the son of Saruia [was] over the host; and Josaphat the son of Achilud [was keeper] of the records.
Yoabu mwana wa Seruya alikuwa jemadari wa jeshi; Yehoshafati mwana wa Ahiludi alikuwa mweka kumbukumbu;
17 And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech son of Abiathar, [were] priests; and Sasa [was] the scribe,
Sadoki mwana wa Ahitubu na Ahimeleki mwana wa Abiathari walikuwa makuhani; Seraya alikuwa mwandishi;
18 and Banaeas son of Jodae [was] councillor, and the Chelethite and the Phelethite, and the sons of David, were princes of the court.
Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada alikuwa msimamizi wa Wakerethi na Wapelethi; nao wana wa Daudi walikuwa washauri wa mfalme.
