1 Chronicles 20
1 And it came to pass, at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and overthrew 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 And David took the crown of Malcam 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, 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 brought forth the people that were therein, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. And thus did David unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
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 it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; then Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Sippai, of the sons of the giants; 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 again war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
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 there was again war at Gath, where was a man 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 unto the giant.
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 taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him.
Pamene iye ankanyoza Aisraeli, Yonatani mwana wa Simea, mʼbale wake wa Davide anamupha.
8 These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
Anthu amenewa anali zidzukulu za Rafa ku Gati, ndipo anaphedwa ndi Davide ndi ankhondo ake.
