< 1 Chronicles 20 >
1 And it came to pass at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go forth, that Joab led forth the power of the army, and laid waste the land of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David abode at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and overthrew it.
Ikaja kuwa wakati wa mvua, kipindi wafalme uenda vitani, Yoabu akaongaza jeshi kwenda kupambana na kusikitisha nchi ya Waamoni. Alienda na kuteka Raba. Daudi alibaki Yerusalemu. Yoabu alishambulia Raba na kuishinda.
2 And David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was [set] upon David's head: and he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance.
Daudi alichukuwa taji la mfalme wao kichwani mwake, na akagundua linauzito wa talanta moja ya dhahabu, na ndani yake kulikuwa na mawe ya thamani. Taji liliwekwa kichwani mwa Daudi, na akaleta mali nyingi za mji.
3 And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with the saw, and with harrows of iron, and with saws. And so David did to all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
Aliwaleta watu walio kuwa ndani ya mji na kuwalazimisha wafanye kazi kwa msumeno na jembe na shoka. Daudi aliwataka watu wote wa mji kufanya kazi hii. Daudi na jeshi lote wakarudi Yerusalemu.
4 And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; then Sibbechai the Hushathite smote Sippai, one of the children of Rapha; and they were subdued.
Ilikuwa baada ya haya kukawa na pambano huko Gezeri na Wafilisti. Sibekai Mhushathi akamua Sipai, mmoja wa uzao wa Refaimu, na wa Filisti wakazidiwa.
5 And there was again a battle with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair smote Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite; now the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam.
Ikawa tena katika pambano na Wafilisti huko Gobu, kwamba Elhanani mwana wa Yari Mbethilehemu akamua Lami kaka wa Goliathi Mgiti, ambaye mkuki wake ulikuwa kama gongo la mshonaji.
6 And there was again a battle, at Gath; and there was a man [there] of great stature, whose fingers [and toes] were four and twenty, six [on each hand], and six [on each foot]; and he also was born to Rapha.
Ikaja kuwa tena katika pambano lingine huko Gathi kwamba mwanaume mmoja aliye mrefu sana mwenye vidole sita kila mkono na vidole sita mguuni. Naye alikuwa pia wa uzao wa Refaimu.
7 And he defied Israel; but Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother smote him.
Alipo dhihaki jeshi la Israeli, Yehonadabu mwana wa Shimea, kaka wa Daudi, akamuua.
8 These were born to Rapha in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
Hawa walikuwa uzao wa Refaimu wa Gathi, na waliuawa na mkono wa Daudi na mkono wa wanajeshi wake.
