1 Chronicles 20
1 And it came to pass, at the time of the return of the same season of the year, at the time when kings go forth, that Joab led out the power of the army, and destroyed the country of the children of 'Ammon, and he came and besieged Rabbah. But David remained behind at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and pulled it down.
Awo mu biro, bakabaka mwe bagenderanga okulwana, Yowaabu n’akulembera eggye, n’azisa ensi y’abaana ba Amoni, ate era n’azingiza Labba. Naye Dawudi ye n’asigala mu Yerusaalemi, Yowaabu ye n’alumba Labba, n’akizikiriza.
2 And David took the crown of Malkam from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and thereon a precious stone; and it was set on the head of David: and the booty of the city he brought out in great abundance.
Awo Dawudi n’addira engule eyali eya kabaka waabwe, obuzito bwayo kilo asatu mu nnya eza zaabu, nga mu yo baateekamu amayinja ag’omuwendo, n’agitikka ku mutwe. N’atwala n’omunyago mungi ddala okuva mu kibuga ekyo.
3 And the people that were therein he brought forward, and cut them with saws, and with iron threshing-wagons, and with axes; and thus did David unto all the cities of the children of 'Ammon; and David returned then with all the people unto Jerusalem.
Yatwala abantu abaali mu kibuga ekyo n’abawa emirimu nga bakozesa n’emisumeeno, n’ensuuluulu, n’embazzi. Bw’atyo Dawudi bwe yakola ebibuga byonna eby’abaana ba Amoni, oluvannyuma ye n’eggye lye lyonna ne baddayo e Yerusaalemi.
4 And it came to pass after this, that there arose a battle at Gezer with the Philistines: then smote Sibbechai the Chushathite Sippai, one of the children of the Rapha; and they were humbled.
Awo olwatuuka oluvannyuma lw’ebyo ne wabalukawo entalo n’Abafirisuuti e Gezeri. Mu kiseera ekyo Sibbekayi Omukusasi n’atta Sippayi omu ku bazzukulu b’agasajja aganene ddala, era ne bawangula Abafirisuuti.
5 And there was again a battle with the Philistines, when Elchanan the son of Yair smote Lachmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
Mu lutalo olulala n’Abafirisuuti, Erukanani mutabani wa Yayiri n’atta Lakani muganda wa Goliyaasi Omugitti, eyalina olunyago lw’effumu olwali ng’omuti ogulukirwako engoye.
6 And there was again a battle at Gath, where was a man of [great] stature, whose fingers and toes were six on each [hand and foot], four and twenty [in all]; and he also was born to the Rapha.
Mu lutalo olulala olwali e Gaasi, waaliwo omusajja omuwanvu ennyo eyali omu ku bazzukulu b’agasajja aganene, ng’alina engalo mukaaga ku buli mukono, n’obugere mukaaga ku buli kigere.
7 And he defied Israel; but Jonathan the son of Shim'a the brother of David smote him.
Yasoomooza nnyo Isirayiri, era Yonasaani mutabani wa Simeeyi, muganda wa Dawudi n’amutta.
8 These were born unto the Rapha in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
Abo bonna baali bazzukulu ba lisajja Laafa ow’e Gaasi, era bonna ne bagwa mu mikono gya Dawudi n’abasajja be.
