Kings II 8
1 And it came to pass after this, that David struck the Philistines, and put them to flight, and David took the tribute from out of the hand of the Philistines.
Dopo queste cose, Davide sconfisse i Filistei e li umiliò, e tolse di mano ai Filistei la supremazia che aveano.
2 And David struck Moab, and measured them out with lines, having laid them down on the ground: and there were two lines for slaying, and two lines he kept alive: and Moab became servants to David, yielding tribute.
Sconfisse pure i Moabiti: e fattili giacere per terra, li misurò con la corda; ne misurò due corde per farli mettere a morte, e la lunghezza d’una corda per lasciarli in vita. E i Moabiti divennero sudditi e tributari di Davide.
3 And David struck Adraazar the son of Raab king of Suba, as he went to extend his power to the river Euphrates.
Davide sconfisse anche Hadadezer, figliuolo di Rehob, re di Tsoba, mentr’egli andava a ristabilire il suo dominio sul fiume Eufrate.
4 And David took a thousand of his chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all his chariot [horses], and he reserved to himself a hundred chariots.
Davide gli prese millesettecento cavalieri e ventimila pedoni, e tagliò i garetti a tutti i cavalli da tiro, ma riserbò dei cavalli per cento carri.
5 And Syria of Damascus comes to help Adraazar king of Suba, and David struck twenty-two thousand men belonging to the Syrian.
E quando i Siri di Damasco vennero per soccorrere Hadadezer, re di Tsoba, Davide ne uccise ventiduemila.
6 And David placed a garrison in Syria near Damascus, and the Syrians became servants and tributaries to David: and the Lord preserved 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 rendea vittorioso Davide dovunque egli andava.
7 And David took the golden bracelets which were on the servants of Adraazar king of Suba, and brought them to Jerusalem. And Susakim king of Egypt took them, when he went up to Jerusalem in the days of Roboam son of Solomon.
E Davide tolse ai servi di Hadadezer i loro scudi d’oro e li portò a Gerusalemme.
8 And king David took from Metebac, and from the choice cities of Adraazar, very much brass: with that Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the lavers, and all the furniture.
Il re Davide prese anche una grande quantità di rame a Betah e a Berothai, città di Hadadezer.
9 And You the king of Hemath heard that David had struck all the host of Adraazar.
Or quando Toi, re di Hamath, ebbe udito che Davide avea sconfitto tutto l’esercito di Hadadezer,
10 And You sent Jedduram his son to king David, to ask him of his welfare, and to congratulate him on his fighting against Adraazar and striking him, for he was an enemy to Adraazar: and in his hands were vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass.
mandò al re Davide Joram, suo figliuolo, per salutarlo e per benedirlo perché avea mosso guerra a Hadadezer e l’avea sconfitto (Hadadezer era sempre in guerra con Toi); e Joram portò seco de’ vasi d’argento, dei vasi d’oro e de’ vasi di rame.
11 And these king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and with the gold which he consecrated out of all the cities which he conquered,
E il re Davide consacrò anche quelli all’Eterno, come avea già consacrato l’argento e l’oro tolto alle nazioni che avea soggiogate:
12 out of Idumea, and out of Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalec, and from the spoils of Adraazar son of Raab king of Suba.
ai Siri, ai Moabiti, agli Ammoniti, ai Filistei, agli Amalekiti, e come avea fatto del bottino di Hadadezer, figliuolo di Rehob, re di Tsoba.
13 And David made [himself] a name: and when he returned he struck Idumea in Gebelem to [the number of] eighteen thousand.
Al ritorno dalla sua vittoria sui Siri, Davide s’acquistò ancor fama, sconfiggendo nella valle del Sale diciottomila Idumei.
14 And he set garrisons in Idumea, even in all Idumea: and all the Idumeans were servants to the king. And the Lord preserved David wherever he went.
E pose delle guarnigioni in Idumea; ne mise per tutta l’Idumea, e tutti gli Edomiti divennero sudditi di Davide; e l’Eterno rendea vittorioso Davide dovunque egli andava.
15 And David reigned over all Israel: and David wrought judgment and justice over all his people.
Davide regnò su tutto Israele, facendo ragione e amministrando la giustizia a tutto il suo popolo.
16 And Joab the son of Saruia [was] over the host; and Josaphat the son of Achilud [was keeper] of the records.
E Joab, figliuolo di Tseruia, comandava l’esercito; Giosafat, figliuolo di Ahilud, era cancelliere;
17 And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech son of Abiathar, [were] priests; and Sasa [was] the scribe,
Tsadok, figliuolo di Ahitub, e Ahimelec, figliuolo di Abiathar, erano sacerdoti; Seraia era segretario;
18 and Banaeas son of Jodae [was] councillor, and the Chelethite and the Phelethite, and the sons of David, were princes of the court.
Benaia, figliuolo di Jehoiada, era capo dei Kerethei e dei Pelethei, e i figliuoli di Davide erano ministri di stato.
