1 Chronicles 18
1 And it comes to pass after this, that David strikes the Philistines, and humbles them, and takes Gath and its small towns out of the hand of the Philistines;
[達味的武功]此後，達味攻打培肋舍特人，將他們克服，由培肋舍特人手中，奪取了加特城及所屬村鎮。
2 and he strikes Moab, and the Moabites are servants to David, bringing a present.
以後打敗了摩阿布，摩阿布人也臣屬於達味，給他進貢。
3 And David strikes Hadarezer king of Zobah, at Hamath, in his going to establish his power by the Euphrates River,
當祚巴哈瑪特王哈達德則爾向幼發拉的河伸展自己的勢力時，達味也打敗了他，
4 and David captures from him one thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and David utterly destroys all the chariots, and leaves of them [only] one hundred chariots.
擄獲了他的車輛一千，騎兵七千，步兵兩萬；達味割斷了所有拉戰車的馬蹄筋，只留下足以拉一百輛車的馬。
5 And Aram of Damascus comes to give help to Hadarezer king of Zobah, and David strikes twenty-two thousand men in Aram,
後有大馬士革的阿蘭人，來援助祚巴王哈達德則爾，達味擊殺了兩萬二千阿蘭人。
6 and David puts [garrisons] in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans are for servants to David, carrying a present, and YHWH gives salvation to David wherever he has gone.
達味遂在大馬士革阿蘭屯兵駐守，阿蘭也臣屬於達味，給他進貢；達味無論往那裏去，上主總使他獲勝。
7 And David takes the shields of gold that have been on the servants of Hadarezer, and brings them to Jerusalem;
達味奪了哈達德則爾臣僕所帶的金盾牌，送到耶路撒冷。
8 and from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, David has taken very much bronze; with it Solomon has made the bronze sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of bronze.
達味又由貝塔和貢，哈達德則爾的兩座城內，奪取了大量的銅；以後撒羅滿用來作銅海、圓柱及銅器。
9 And Tou king of Hamath hears that David has struck the whole force of Hadarezer king of Zobah,
哈瑪特王托烏，聽說達味打敗了祚巴王哈達德則爾所有的軍隊，
10 and he sends his son Hadoram to King David, to ask of him of peace, and to bless him, because that he has fought against Hadarezer and strikes him (for Hadarezer had been a man of wars with Tou); and [with him were] all kinds of vessels, of gold, and silver, and bronze;
便派自己的兒子哈多蘭到達味王那裏向他致敬，祝賀他打敗了哈達德則爾，因哈達德則爾原是托烏的敵人；他還送來了各種金、銀、銅器。
11 King David has also sanctified them to YHWH with the silver and the gold that he has taken from all the nations, from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
達味王也將這些，連同那些由各民族，即厄東、摩阿布、阿孟子民、培肋舍特人、阿瑪肋克人所得來的金銀，一起奉獻給上主。
12 And Abishai son of Zeruiah has struck Edom in the Valley of Salt—eighteen thousand,
責魯雅的兒子阿彼瑟在鹽谷擊殺了一萬八千厄東人後，
13 and he puts garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites are servants to David; and YHWH saves David wherever he has gone.
達味遂又屯兵厄東，厄東人全臣屬於達味。達味無論往那裏去，上主總使他獲勝。[重要的朝臣]
14 And David reigns over all Israel, and he is doing judgment and righteousness to all his people,
達味作了全以色列的君王，對自己所有的人民秉公行義。
15 and Joab son of Zeruiah [is] over the host, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] remembrancer,
責魯雅的兒子約阿布統領軍隊，阿希路得的兒子約沙法特為御史，
16 and Zadok son of Ahitub and Abimelech son of Abiathar [are] priests, and Shavsha [is] scribe,
阿希托布的兒子匝多克和厄貝雅塔爾的兒子阿希默肋客任司祭，沙委沙為秘書，
17 and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is] over the Cherethite and the Pelethite, and the chief sons of David [are] at the hand of the king.
約雅達的兒子貝納雅管理革勒提與培肋提人，達味的兒子們在君王左右為輔相。
