1 Chronicles 18
1 Some time later, David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and he captured Gath and its nearby towns from the Philistines.
Esi ɣeyiɣiawo va le yiyim la, David ɖu Filistitɔwo dzi eye wòbɔbɔ wo ɖe anyi, exɔ Gat kple kɔƒe siwo ƒo xlãe le Filistitɔwo si.
2 David also defeated the Moabites, making them subject to him and requiring them to pay taxes.
David ɖu Moabtɔwo hã dzi, wozu etenɔlawo eye woxea adzɔga nɛ.
3 David then defeated Hadadezer, king of Zobah, near Hamath, as he tried enforce his control along the Euphrates River.
Eɖu Zoba fia, Hadadezer ƒe duwo dzi yi Hamat ke le esime wòyi be yeaɖo yeƒe fiaɖuƒe anyi le Frat tɔsisi la to.
4 David captured from him 1,000 chariots, 7,000 charioteers, and 20,000 foot soldiers. David hamstrung all the chariot horses—except he saved enough for 100 chariots.
David lé sɔdola akpe adre kple afɔzɔla akpe blaeve, etu ata na sɔawo katã negbe wo dometɔ alafa ɖeka ko.
5 When the Arameans from Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed 22,000 of them.
Esi Aramtɔwo tso Damasko va be yewoakpe ɖe Zoba fia Hadadezer ŋu la, David wu wo dometɔ akpe blaeve-vɔ-eve
6 David placed forces in the Aramean town of Damascus, and also made them subject to him and required them to pay taxes. The Lord gave David victories wherever he went.
eye wòda asrafo aɖewo ɖe Aram le Damasko, si nye Aramtɔwo ƒe fiadu la me. Ale Aramtɔwo zu David tenɔlawo eye wodzɔa adzɔga nɛ ƒe sia ƒe. Ale Yehowa na David ɖua dzi le afi sia afi si wòyi.
7 David took the shields of gold that were carried by Hadadezer's officers and brought them to Jerusalem.
David tsɔ Fia Hadadezer ƒe aʋakɔwo ƒe amegãwo ƒe sikakpoxɔnuwo va Yerusalem,
8 David also took a large quantity of bronze from Tibhath and from Cun, towns that had belonged to Hadadezer. Solomon used that bronze to make the bronze sea, the columns, and the various bronze objects.
kpe ɖe akɔbli geɖe tso Hadadezer ƒe du siwo nye Teba kple Kun la me la ŋu. Emegbe la, Fia Solomo lolo akɔbli la eye wòtsɔe wɔ gbedoxɔ la ƒe akɔbligazɔ kple akɔblisɔtiwo kple akɔblinu siwo ŋu dɔ wowɔna ne wole vɔ sam le vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
9 When Tou, king of Hamath, learned that David had destroyed the entire army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah,
Esime Hamat fia Tou se be Fia David si Zoba fia Hadadezer ƒe aʋakɔ blibo la,
10 he sent his son Hadoram to David to make friends with him and to congratulate him on his victory in battle over Hadadezer. Tou and Hadadezer had often been at war. Hadoram brought gifts of gold, silver, and bronze.
eɖo Via ŋutsu Hadoram ɖe Fia David gbɔ be wòado gbe nɛ, ada ŋkɔ ɖe edzi le eƒe dziɖuɖu ta eye wòatsɔ sika, klosalo kple akɔbli nɛ. Edi be yeawɔ ɖeka kple Fia David elabena eya kple Hadadezer nye futɔwo eye wowɔ aʋa geɖewo.
11 King David dedicated these gifts to the Lord, along with the silver and gold he had taken from all the following nations: Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalekites.
Fia David kɔ nunana siawo kple klosalo kple sika si wòkpɔ tso Edomtɔwo, Moabtɔwo, Amonitɔwo, Amalekitɔwo kple Filistitɔwo gbɔ la ŋu na Yehowa.
12 Abishai, son of Zeruiah, killed 18,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
Abisai, Zeruya ƒe vi, wu Edomtɔ akpe wuienyi le Dze Balime.
13 He set up army posts in Edom, and all the Edomites became subject to David. The Lord gave David victories wherever he went.
Eda asrafo aɖewo ɖe Edom eye Edomtɔwo zu David teviwo. Yehowa na wòɖua dzi le afi sia afi si wòayi.
14 David ruled over all Israel. He did what was fair and right for all his people.
David ɖu Israel blibo la dzi kple dzɔdzɔenyenye eye wòwɔ nyui na ame sia ame.
15 Joab, son of Zeruiah, was the army commander, while Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, kept the official records.
Yoab, Zeruya ƒe vi, nɔ aʋakɔ la nu. Yehosafat, Ahilud ƒe vi, nye fia ƒe tsiami.
16 Zadok, son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech, son of Abiathar, were the priests, while Shavsha was secretary.
Zadok, Ahitub ƒe vi kple Ahimelek, Abiata ƒe vi nye nunɔlawo eye Sausa nye fia la ƒe nuŋlɔla.
17 Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, was in charge of the Kerethites and Pelethites; and David's sons were at the king's side, serving as his chief officials.
Benaya, Yehoiada ƒe vi, nɔ Keretitɔwo kple Peletitɔwo, ame siwo nye fia la ŋu dzɔlawo ƒe amegãwo la nu le esime David ƒe viŋutsuwo nye fia la ŋumewo ƒe tatɔwo.
