Chronicles I 18
1 And it came to pass afterwards, that David struck the Philistines, and routed them, and took Geth and its villages out of the hand of the Philistines.
Dopo queste cose, Davide sconfisse i Filistei e li umiliò, e tolse di mano ai Filistei Gath e le città che ne dipendevano.
2 And he struck Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David, [and] tributaries.
Sconfisse pure i Moabiti; e i Moabiti divennero sudditi e tributari di Davide.
3 And David struck Adraazar king of Suba of Emath, as he was going to establish power toward the river Euphrates.
Davide sconfisse anche Hadarezer, re di Tsoba, verso Hamath, mentr’egli andava a stabilire il suo dominio sul fiume Eufrate.
4 And David took of them a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand infantry: and David houghed all the chariot [horses], but there were reserved of them a hundred chariots.
Davide gli prese mille carri, settemila cavalieri e ventimila pedoni; tagliò i garetti a tutti i cavalli da tiro, ma riserbò de’ cavalli per cento carri.
5 And the Syrian came from Damascus to help Adraazar king of Suba; and David struck of the Syrian [army] twenty and two thousand men.
E quando i Siri di Damasco vennero per soccorrere Hadarezer, re di Tsoba, Davide ne uccise ventiduemila.
6 And David put a garrison in Syria near Damascus; and they became tributary servants to David: and the Lord delivered David wherever he went.
Poi Davide mise delle guarnigioni nella Siria di Damasco, e i Siri divennero sudditi e tributari di Davide; e l’Eterno lo rendea vittorioso dovunque egli andava.
7 And David took the golden collars that were on the servants of Adraazar, and brought them to Jerusalem.
E Davide tolse ai servi di Hadarezer i loro scudi d’oro e li portò a Gerusalemme.
8 And David took out of Matabeth, and out of the chief cities of Adraazar very much brass: of this Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the brazen vessels.
Davide prese anche una grande quantità di rame a Tibhath e a Cun, città di Hadarezer. Salomone se ne servì per fare il mar di rame, le colonne e gli utensili di rame.
9 And Thoa king of Emath heard that David had struck the whole force of Adraazar king of Suba.
Or quando Tou, re di Hamath, ebbe udito che Davide avea sconfitto tutto l’esercito di Hadarezer, re di Tsoba,
10 And he sent Aduram his son to king David to ask how he was, and to congratulate him because he had fought against Adraazar, and struck him; for Thoa was the enemy of Adraazar.
mandò al re Davide Hadoram, suo figliuolo, per salutarlo e per benedirlo perché avea mosso guerra a Hadarezer e l’avea sconfitto (Hadarezer era sempre in guerra con Tou); e Hadoram portò seco ogni sorta di vasi d’oro, d’argento, e di rame.
11 And all the golden and silver and brazen vessels, even these king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and the gold which he took from all the nations; from Idumaea, and Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalec.
E il re Davide consacrò anche quelli all’Eterno, come avea già consacrato l’argento e l’oro che avea portato via a tutte le nazioni: agli Edomiti, ai Moabiti, agli Ammoniti, ai Filistei ed agli Amalekiti.
12 And Abesa son of Saruia struck the Idumeans in the valley of Salt, eighteen thousand.
Abishai, figliuolo di Tseruia, sconfisse pure diciottomila Edomiti nella valle del Sale.
13 And he put garrisons in the valley; and all the Idumaeans became David's servants: and the Lord delivered David wherever he went.
E pose delle guarnigioni in Idumea, e tutti gli Edomiti divennero sudditi di Davide; e l’Eterno rendea Davide vittorioso dovunque egli andava.
14 So David reigned over all Israel; and he executed judgment and justice to all his people.
Davide regnò su tutto Israele, facendo ragione e amministrando la giustizia a tutto il suo popolo.
15 And Joab the son of Saruia [was] over the army, and Josaphat the son of Achilud [was] recorder.
Joab, figliuolo di Tseruia, comandava l’esercito; Giosafat, figliuolo di Ahilud, era cancelliere;
16 And Sadoc son of Achitob, and Achimelech son of Abiathar, [were] the priests; and Susa [was] the scribe;
Tsadok, figliuolo di Ahitub, e Abimelec, figliuolo di Abiathar, erano sacerdoti; Shavsa era segretario;
17 and Banaeas the son of Jodae [was] over the Cherethite and the Phelethite, and the sons of David were the chief deputies of the king.
Benaia, figliuolo di Jehoiada, era capo dei Kerethei e dei Pelethei; e i figliuoli di Davide erano i primi al fianco del re.
