< Chronicles I 20 >
1 And it came to pass at the return of the year, at the [time of the] going forth of kings [to war], that Joab gathered the whole force of the army, and they ravaged the land of the children of Ammon; and he came and besieged Rabba. But David abode in Jerusalem. And Joab struck Rabba and destroyed it.
[戰敗阿孟]一年復始,正當諸王出征的季節,約阿布統率精兵,蹂躪了阿孟子民的地方,然後去包圍了辣巴,當時達味留在那耶路撒冷。約阿布攻陷了辣巴,加以破壞。
2 And David took the crown of Molchom their king off his head, and the weight of it was found [to be] a talent of gold, and on it were precious stones; and it was [placed] on the head of David: and he brought out the spoils of the city [which were] very great.
達味從米耳公的頭上,取下他的冠冕來,發現有一點「塔冷通」重的金子,上面還有一塊寶石。達味將這塊寶石戴在自己頭上;並由城中運走了大批的戰利品。
3 And he brought out the people that were in it, and sawed them asunder with saws, and [cut them] with iron axes, and with harrows: and thus David did to all the children of Ammon. And David and all his people returned to Jerusalem.
至於城內的居民,達味將他們帶走,叫他們拉鋸、持鎚、操斧工作。達味如此對待了阿孟子民所有的城市,然後率領全軍回了耶路撒冷。[三敗培肋舍特]
4 And it came to pass afterward that there was again war with the Philistines in Gazer: then Sobochai the Sosathite struck Saphut of the sons of the giants, and laid him low.
這些事以後,右與培肋舍特人在革則爾發生了戰事。胡沙人息貝開擊殺了辣法巨人的後裔息派,他們便投降歸順了。
5 And there [was] war again with the Philistines; and Eleanan the son of Jair struck Lachmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear [was] as a weavers' beam.
以後,又與培肋舍特交戰,雅依爾的兒子厄耳哈難擊殺了加特人哥肋雅的兄弟拉赫米。這人的長矛粗如織布機的橫軸。
6 And there was again war in Geth, and there was a man of extraordinary size, and his fingers [and toes were] six on each hand and foot, four and twenty; and he was descended from the giants.
此後,在加特又起了戰事,在那裏有一巨人,兩手各有六指,兩足亦各有六趾,共有二十四個,也是辣法巨人的後裔。
7 And he defied Israel, and Jonathan the son of Samaa the brother of David killed him.
由於他辱罵了以色列,達味的兄弟史默亞的兒子約納堂將他殺死:
8 These were born to Rapha in Geth; all four were giants, and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
這些人全是加特城辣法巨人的子孫,都喪身在達味和他的臣僕手裏。
