2 Samuel 8
1 And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Metheg-ammah out of the hand of the Philistines.
Le esia megbe la, David ɖu Filistitɔwo dzi eye wòbɔbɔ wo ɖe anyi to woƒe du Meteg Ama xɔxɔ me.
2 And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts.
Eɖu Moabtɔwo hã dzi eye wòna Moabtɔwo mlɔ anyi ɖe wo nɔewo xa le fliwo me. Etsɔ dzidzeka dzidze wo eye wòma wo ɖe akpa etɔ̃ me. Ewu ameawo ƒe akpa eve, ena akpa etɔ̃lia me tɔwo zu eƒe subɔlawo eye wòna wodzɔa nu nɛ ƒe sia ƒe.
3 David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates.
Eɖu Zoba fia Hadadezer, Rehob ƒe vi dzi le esime wòva be yeaɖo yeƒe fiaɖuƒe anyi ɖe Frat tɔsisi la to.
4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots.
David lé sɔdola akpe wuiadre kple afɔzɔla akpe blaeve, etu ata na sɔawo katã negbe wo dometɔ alafa ɖeka ko.
5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
Esi Aramtɔwo tso Damasko va be yewoakpe ɖe Zoba fia Hadadezer ŋu la, David wu wo dometɔ akpe blaeve-vɔ-eve.
6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And YHWH preserved David whithersoever he went.
David da asrafo aɖewo ɖe 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 wòayi.
7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
David tsɔ sikakpoxɔnu siwo ŋu dɔ Fia Hadadezer ƒe aʋakɔwo wɔ la va Yerusalem.
8 And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass.
Etsɔ akɔbli gbogbo aɖe hã tso Teba kple Berotai siwo nye Fia Hadadezer ƒe du gãwo la me yi Yerusalem.
9 When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,
Esi Hamat fia, Tɔi, se ale si David si fia Hadadezer ƒe aʋakɔ blibo la,
10 Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:
eɖo Via ŋutsu Yoram ɖe David gbɔ be wòado gbe nɛ, akafui le esi wòwɔ aʋa kple Hadadezer eye wòsii la ta, vevietɔ, esi Tɔi kple Hadadezer nye futɔwo ta. Tɔi ɖo nu siwo wowɔ kple klosalo, sika kple akɔbli la ɖe David.
11 Which also king David did dedicate unto YHWH, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;
Fia David kɔ nunana siawo katã ŋu na Yehowa, abe ale si wòwɔ kple klosalo kple sika si wòxɔ tso dukɔ siwo katã dzi wòɖu gbɔ,
12 Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
tso Edom kple Moab, Amonitɔwo kple Filistitɔwo kple Amalekitɔwo gbɔ ene. Ekɔ nu siwo wòha tso Hadadezer, Rehob ƒe vi, Zoba fia hã gbɔ la ŋu na Yehowa.
13 And David got him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men.
Ale David ƒe ŋkɔ ɖi hoo. Esi wòtrɔ gbɔ la, ewu Siriatɔ akpe wuienyi le Dze Balime
14 And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David's servants. And YHWH preserved David whithersoever he went.
eye wòda asrafo aɖewo ɖe Edom ƒe teƒe ɖe sia ɖe. Ale Edomtɔwo zu David teviwo. Yehowa na wòɖua dzi le afi sia afi si wòayi.
15 And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people.
David ɖu Israel blibo la dzi kple dzɔdzɔenyenye eye wòwɔ nyui na ame sia ame.
16 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
Yoab, Zeruya ƒe vi nɔ aʋakɔ la nu. Yehosafat, Ahilud ƒe vi nye fia ƒe tsiami.
17 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;
Zadok, Ahitub ƒe vi kple Ahimelek, Abiata ƒe vi nye nunɔlawo eye Seraya nye fia la ƒe nuŋlɔla.
18 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief rulers.
Benaya, Yehoiada ƒe vi nɔ Keretitɔwo kple Peletitɔwo, ame siwo nye fiaŋudzɔlawo la nu eye David ƒe viŋutsuwo nye nunɔlawo.
