1 Chronicles 20
1 And when the yere was expired, in the time that Kings goe out a warfare, Ioab caryed out the strength of the armie, and destroyed the countrey of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah (but Dauid taryed at Ierusalem) and Ioab smote Rabbah and destroyed it.
Nthawi ya mphukira, nthawi imene mafumu amapita ku nkhondo, Yowabu anatsogolera gulu la ankhondo. Iye anawononga Aamoni, kenaka anapita ku mzinda wa Raba ndipo anawuzungulira, koma Davide anatsala ku Yerusalemu. Yowabu anathira nkhondo mzinda wa Raba ndipo anawuwononga.
2 Then Dauid tooke the crowne of their King from off his head, and founde it the weight of a talent of golde, with precious stones in it: and it was set on Dauids head, and he brought away the spoyle of the citie exceeding much.
Davide anachotsa chipewa chaufumu pamutu pa mfumu yawo. Chipewacho chinkalemera makilogalamu asanu agolide ndiponso chinali ndi miyala yokongola. Ndipo Davide anavala chipewacho. Iye anatenga katundu wambiri kuchokera mu mzindawo,
3 And he caryed away the people that were in it, and cut them with sawes, and with harowes of yron, and with axes: euen thus did Dauid with all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then Dauid and all the people came againe to Ierusalem.
ndipo anatulutsa anthu amene anali mʼmenemo, nawayika kuti azigwira ntchito ya macheka, yosula makasu ndi nkhwangwa. Davide anachita izi ndi mizinda yonse ya Aamoni. Kenaka Davide pamodzi ndi gulu lake lonse lankhondo anabwerera ku Yerusalemu.
4 And after this also there arose warre at Gezer with the Philistims: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slewe Sippai, of the children of Haraphah, and they were subdued.
Patapita nthawi, nkhondo inayambika pakati pa Aisraeli ndi Afilisti ku Gezeri. Nthawi imeneyo Sibekai Mhusati anapha Sipai, mmodzi mwa zidzukulu za Arefai, ndipo Afilisti anagonja.
5 And there was yet another battell with the Philistims: and Elhanan the sonne of Iair slewe Lahmi, the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spearestaffe was like a weauers beame.
Pa nkhondo inanso ndi Afilisti, Elihanani mwana wa Yairi anapha Lahimi mʼbale wake wa Goliati Mgiti, amene mkondo wake unali ngati ndodo yowombera nsalu.
6 And yet againe there was a battel at Gath, where was a man of a great stature, and his fingers were by sixes, euen foure and twentie, and was also the sonne of Haraphah.
Pa nkhondo inanso imene inachitika ku Gati, panali munthu wina wamtali kwambiri, wa zala zisanu ndi chimodzi mʼmanja ndi mʼmapazi ndipo zonse pamodzi zinalipo 24. Iyenso anali chidzukulu cha Rafa.
7 And when he reuiled Israel, Iehonathan the sonne of Shimea Dauids brother did slay him.
Pamene iye ankanyoza Aisraeli, Yonatani mwana wa Simea, mʼbale wake wa Davide anamupha.
8 These were borne vnto Haraphah at Gath, and fell by the hand of Dauid: and by the hands of his seruants.
Anthu amenewa anali zidzukulu za Rafa ku Gati, ndipo anaphedwa ndi Davide ndi ankhondo ake.
