1 Chronicles 20
1 And it came to pass after the course of a year, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab gathered together an army and the strength of the troops, and wasted the land of the children of Ammon: and went and besieged Rabba. But David stayed at Jerusalem, when Joab smote Rabba, and destroyed it.
Awo mu biro, bakabaka mwe bagenderanga okulwana, Yowaabu n’akulembera eggye, n’azisa ensi y’abaana ba Amoni, ate era n’azingiza Labba. Naye Dawudi ye n’asigala mu Yerusaalemi, Yowaabu ye n’alumba Labba, n’akizikiriza.
2 And David took the crown of Melchom from his head, and found in it a talent weight of gold, and most precious stones, and he made himself a diadem of it: he took also the spoils of the city which were very great.
Awo Dawudi n’addira engule eyali eya kabaka waabwe, obuzito bwayo kilo asatu mu nnya eza zaabu, nga mu yo baateekamu amayinja ag’omuwendo, n’agitikka ku mutwe. N’atwala n’omunyago mungi ddala okuva mu kibuga ekyo.
3 And the people that were therein he brought out: and made harrows, and sleds, and chariots of iron to go over them, so that they were cut and bruised to pieces: in this manner David dealt with all the cities of the children of Ammon: and he returned with alibis people to Jerusalem.
Yatwala abantu abaali mu kibuga ekyo n’abawa emirimu nga bakozesa n’emisumeeno, n’ensuuluulu, n’embazzi. Bw’atyo Dawudi bwe yakola ebibuga byonna eby’abaana ba Amoni, oluvannyuma ye n’eggye lye lyonna ne baddayo e Yerusaalemi.
4 After this there arose a war at Gazer against the Philistines: in which Sabachai the Husathite slew Saphai of the race of Raphaim, and humbled them.
Awo olwatuuka oluvannyuma lw’ebyo ne wabalukawo entalo n’Abafirisuuti e Gezeri. Mu kiseera ekyo Sibbekayi Omukusasi n’atta Sippayi omu ku bazzukulu b’agasajja aganene ddala, era ne bawangula Abafirisuuti.
5 Another battle also was fought against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus the son of Saltus a Bethlehemite slew the brother of Goliath the Gethite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
Mu lutalo olulala n’Abafirisuuti, Erukanani mutabani wa Yayiri n’atta Lakani muganda wa Goliyaasi Omugitti, eyalina olunyago lw’effumu olwali ng’omuti ogulukirwako engoye.
6 There was another battle also in Geth, in which there was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand and foot: who also was born of the stock of Rapha.
Mu lutalo olulala olwali e Gaasi, waaliwo omusajja omuwanvu ennyo eyali omu ku bazzukulu b’agasajja aganene, ng’alina engalo mukaaga ku buli mukono, n’obugere mukaaga ku buli kigere.
7 He reviled Israel: but Jonathan the son of Samaa the brother of David slew him.
Yasoomooza nnyo Isirayiri, era Yonasaani mutabani wa Simeeyi, muganda wa Dawudi n’amutta.
8 These were the sons of Rapha in Geth, who fell by the hand of David and his servants.
Abo bonna baali bazzukulu ba lisajja Laafa ow’e Gaasi, era bonna ne bagwa mu mikono gya Dawudi n’abasajja be.
