Kings II 8
1 And it came to pass after this, that David struck the Philistines, and put them to flight, and David took the tribute from out of the hand of the Philistines.
Dopo, Davide sconfisse i Filistei e li sottomise e tolse di mano ai Filistei Gat e le sue dipendenze.
2 And David struck 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.
Sconfisse anche i Moabiti e, facendoli coricare per terra, li misurò con la corda; ne misurò due corde per farli mettere a morte e una corda intera per lasciarli in vita. I Moabiti divennero sudditi di Davide, a lui tributari.
3 And David struck Adraazar the son of Raab king of Suba, as he went to extend his power to the river Euphrates.
Davide sconfisse anche Hadad-Ezer, figlio di Recòb, re di Zobà, mentre egli andava ad estendere il dominio sul fiume Eufrate.
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.
Davide gli prese millesettecento combattenti sui carri e ventimila fanti: tagliò i garretti a tutte le pariglie di cavalli, riservandone soltanto cento.
5 And Syria of Damascus comes to help Adraazar king of Suba, and David struck twenty-two thousand men belonging to the Syrian.
Quando gli Aramei di Damasco vennero per soccorrere Hadad-Ezer, re di Zobà, Davide ne uccise ventiduemila.
6 And David placed a garrison in Syria near Damascus, and the Syrians became servants and tributaries to David: and the Lord preserved David wherever he went.
Poi Davide stabilì guarnigioni nell'Aram di Damasco e gli Aramei divennero sudditi di Davide e a lui tributari. Il Signore rendeva vittorioso Davide dovunque egli andava.
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.
Davide tolse ai servitori di Hadad-Ezer i loro scudi d'oro e li portò a Gerusalemme.
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.
Il re Davide prese anche grande quantità di rame a Bètach e a Berotài, città di Hadad-Ezer.
9 And You the king of Hemath heard that David had struck all the host of Adraazar.
Quando Toù, re di Amat, seppe che Davide aveva sconfitto tutto l'esercito di Hadad-Ezer,
10 And You sent Jedduram his son to king David, to ask him of his welfare, and to congratulate him on his fighting against Adraazar and striking him, for he was an enemy to Adraazar: and in his hands were vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass.
mandò al re Davide suo figlio Adduràm per salutarlo e per benedirlo perché aveva mosso guerra a Hadad-Ezer e l'aveva sconfitto; infatti Hadad-Ezer era sempre in guerra con Toù. Adduràm gli portò vasi d'argento, vasi d'oro e vasi di rame.
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,
Il re Davide consacrò anche quelli al Signore, come gia aveva consacrato l'argento e l'oro tolto alle nazioni che aveva soggiogate,
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.
agli Aramei, ai Moabiti, agli Ammoniti, ai Filistei, agli Amaleciti, e come aveva fatto del bottino di Hadad-Ezer figlio di Recòb, re di Zobà.
13 And David made [himself] a name: and when he returned he struck Idumea in Gebelem to [the number of] eighteen thousand.
Al ritorno dalla sua vittoria sugli Aramei, Davide acquistò ancora fama, sconfiggendo nella Valle del Sale diciottomila Idumei.
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.
Stabilì guarnigioni in Idumea; ne mise per tutta l'Idumea e tutti gli Idumei divennero sudditi di Davide; il Signore rendeva vittorioso Davide dovunque egli andava.
15 And David reigned over all Israel: and David wrought judgement and justice over all his people.
Davide regnò su tutto Israele e pronunziava giudizi e faceva giustizia a tutto il suo popolo.
16 And Joab the son of Saruia [was] over the host; and Josaphat the son of Achilud [was keeper] of the records.
Ioab figlio di Zeruià comandava l'esercito; Giosafat figlio di Achilùd era archivista;
17 And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech son of Abiathar, [were] priests; and Sasa [was] the scribe,
Zadòk figlio di Achitùb e Achimèlech figlio di Ebiatàr erano sacerdoti; Seraià era segretario,
18 and Banaeas son of Jodae [was] councillor, and the Chelethite and the Phelethite, and the sons of David, were princes of the court.
Benaià, figlio di Ioiadà, era capo dei Cretei e dei Peletei e i figli di Davide erano ministri.
