< 2 Samuel 8 >

1 And it came to pass after this, that David smote the Philistines, and humbled them: and David took Metheg-haammah out of the hand of the Philistines.
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo, Dawudi n’awangula Abafirisuuti, n’abafuula abaddu be, n’awamba n’ekibuga kyabwe ekikulu.
2 And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, laying them down on the ground; and he measured with two lines to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And the Moabites became David's servants, bringing presents.
Dawudi n’awangula n’Abamowaabu, n’alagira buli omu ku bo yebake wansi, n’abapimako n’olukoba olupima. Buli eyali ebipimo bibiri yattibwanga, naye oyo eyali ow’ebipimo ebisatu nga y’alama. Abamowaabu ne bafuuka baddu ba Dawudi ne bamuwanga obusuulu.
3 David smote also Hadad'ezer, the son of Rechob, the king of Zobah, as he went to extend his territory at the river Euphrates.
Ate era Dawudi n’awangula Kadadezeri mutabani wa Lekobu, kabaka w’e Zoba, bwe yali nga yeddiza amatwale ge ku Mugga Fulaati.
4 And David captured from him a thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand men on foot: and David hamstringed all the chariot-teams, but reserved of them a hundred chariot-teams.
Dawudi n’awamba amagaali ga Kadadezeri lukumi, n’abeebagala embalaasi kasanvu, n’abaserikale ab’ebigere emitwalo ebiri. N’atema kumpi embalaasi zonna, n’azilemaza n’alekawo kikumi ku zo.
5 And the Syrians of Damascus then came to aid Hadad'ezer, the king of Zobah, when David slew of the Syrians twenty and two thousand men.
Awo Abasuuli ab’e Ddamasiko ne bajja okubeera Kadadezeri kabaka w’e Zoba, naye Dawudi n’atta emitwalo ebiri mu enkumi bbiri ku bo.
6 And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, bearing presents. And the Lord helped David whithersoever he went.
Dawudi n’assa ebibinja eby’abaserikale mu Busuuli e Ddamasiko, Abasuuli ne bafuuka baddu be, era ne bamuwanga obusuulu. Mukama n’awa Dawudi obuwanguzi buli gye yagendanga.
7 And David took the shields of gold that belonged to the servants of Hadad'ezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
Dawudi n’anyaga engabo eza zaabu ezasitulibwanga abaserikale ba Kadadezeri n’azireeta e Yerusaalemi.
8 And from Betach, and from Berothai, cities of Hadad'ezer, did king David take exceedingly much copper.
Kabaka Dawudi n’anyaga n’ebikomo bingi ddala okuva mu Beta ne mu Berosayi, ebibuga ebyali ebya Kadadezeri.
9 And when To'i the king of Chamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadad'ezer,
Awo Toyi kabaka w’e Kamasi bwe yawulira nga Dawudi awangudde eggye lyonna erya Kadadezeri,
10 Then did To'i send Yoram his son unto king David, to ask him after his well-being, and to bless him, because that he had fought against Hadad'ezer, and smitten him; for Hadad'ezer had been engaged in wars with To'i; and he had in his hand vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of copper:
n’atuma mutabani we Yolaamu eri kabaka Dawudi okumulamusaako, n’okumuyozaayoza okuwangula olutalo wakati we ne Kadadezeri. Kadadezeri yalwananga ne Toyi. Yolaamu n’amutwalira ebintu bya ffeeza ne zaabu n’ebikomo.
11 These also did king David sanctify unto the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had sanctified from all the nations which he subdued;
Kabaka Dawudi n’abiwonga eri Mukama, nga bwe yakola effeeza ne zaabu bye yaggya mu mawanga amalala ge yawangula.
12 From Syria, and from Moab, and from the children of 'Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from 'Amalek, and from the spoil of Hadad'ezer, the son of Rechob, the king of Zobah.
Amawanga gaali: Busuuli, ne Mowaabu, n’Abamoni, n’Abafirisuuti ne Amaleki; n’awonga n’omunyago gwa Kadadezeri, mutabani wa Lekobu, kabaka w’e Zoba.
13 And David acquired a name when he returned from his smiting the Syrians in the valley of salt, eighteen thousand men.
Erinnya lya Dawudi ne litutumuka, bwe yakomawo okuva okutta Abasuuli omutwalo gumu mu kanaana mu kiwonvu eky’Omunnyo.
14 And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the Lord helped David whithersoever he went.
N’ateeka ebibinja bya baserikale mu Busuuli yonna, Abasuuli bonna ne bafuuka baddu ba Dawudi. Mukama n’awa Dawudi obuwanguzi buli gye yagendanga.
15 And David reigned over all Israel; and David did what is just and right unto all his people.
Dawudi n’afuga Isirayiri yenna, ng’afuga abantu be bonna mu bwenkanya ne mu mazima.
16 And Joab the son of Zeruyah was over the army; and Jehoshaphat the son of Achilud was recorder;
Yowaabu mutabani wa Zeruyiya ye yali omuduumizi w’eggye, Yekosafaati mutabani wa Akirudi nga ye mujjukiza,
17 And Zadok the son of Achitub, and Achimelech the son of Ebyathar, were priests; and Serayah was scribe;
Zadooki mutabani wa Akitubu ne Akimereki mutabani wa Abiyasaali nga be bakabona, Seroya nga ye muwandiisi,
18 And Banayahu the son of Yehoyada' was over both the Kerethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were officers of state.
Benaaya mutabani wa Yekoyaada nga ye mukulu w’Abakeresi n’Abaperesi abaakuumanga ba kabaka, batabani ba Dawudi nga be bawi ba magezi ab’obwakabaka.
