2 Samuel 8
1 And it comes to pass afterward that David strikes the Philistines, and humbles them, and David takes the bridle of the metropolis out of the hand of the Philistines.
此後，達味攻打培肋舍特人，將他們克服，由他們手中奪得了京城的治權。
2 And he strikes Moab, and measures them with a line, causing them to lie down on the earth, and he measures two lines to put to death, and the fullness of the line to keep alive, and the Moabites are for servants to David, bearers of a present.
他也打敗了摩阿布人，叫他們躺在地上，用繩子來量，兩繩子內的人處死，一繩內的人生存；如此，摩阿布人遂臣服達味，給他納貢。
3 And David strikes Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, in his going to bring back his power by the River [Euphrates];
當勒曷布的兒子，祚巴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 and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and David utterly destroys the whole of the charioteers; he leaves only one hundred of their charioteers.
擄獲了他的馬兵一千七百，步兵兩萬，割斷了所有拉戰車的馬蹄筋，只留下了足以拉一百輛車的馬。
5 And Aram of Damascus comes to give help to Hadadezer king of Zobah, and David strikes twenty-two thousand men of Aram;
後有大馬士革的阿蘭人，
6 and David puts garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and Aram is for a servant to David, carrying a present; and YHWH saves David wherever he has gone;
達味遂在大馬士革阿蘭屯兵駐守，阿蘭也臣服於達味，給他進貢。達味無論往那裏去，上主總是輔助他。
7 and David takes the shields of gold which were on the servants of Hadadezer, 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 Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David has taken very much bronze.
達味王又由貝塔和貝洛泰，哈達德則爾的兩座城內，奪取了大量的銅。
9 And Toi king of Hamath hears that David has struck all the force of Hadadezer,
當哈瑪特王托烏，聽說達味打敗了哈達德則爾，
10 and Toi sends his son Joram to King David to ask of him of welfare, and to bless him (because that he has fought against Hadadezer, and strikes him, for Hadadezer had been a man of wars [with] Toi), and in his hand have been vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze,
便派自己的兒子哈多蘭到達味王那裏，向他致敬，祝賀他攻打了哈達德則爾，並將他打敗，因為哈達德則爾原是托烏的敵人。哈多蘭帶來了一些金器銀器和銅器。
11 also King David sanctified them to YHWH, with the silver and the gold which he sanctified of all the nations which he subdued:
達味也把這一切金銀，和他從所征服的民族：
12 of Aram, and of Moab, and of the sons of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob king of Zobah.
即阿蘭、摩阿布、阿孟子民、培肋舍特人、阿瑪肋克和祚爾王勒曷布之子哈達德則爾的戰利品中所得，且已奉獻了的金銀，一同獻給了上主。
13 And David makes a name in his turning back from his striking Aram in the Valley of Salt—eighteen thousand;
達味戰勝阿蘭人歸來時，在鹽谷又擊殺了一萬八千厄東人，他的聲譽就更大了。
14 and he puts garrisons in Edom—he has put garrisons in all of Edom, and all Edom are servants to David; and YHWH saves David wherever he has gone.
他遂屯兵厄東，全厄東都臣服了達味；達味無論往那裏去，上主總是輔助他。
15 And David reigns over all Israel, and David is doing judgment and righteousness to all his people,
達味統治了全以色列，對自己所有的人民秉公行義。
16 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後御史。
17 and Zadok son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech son of Abiathar, [are] priests, and Seraiah [is] scribe,
阿希突布的兒子匝多克及阿希默肋客的兒子厄貝雅塔爾作司祭，沙委沙作秘書，
18 and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is over] both the Cherethite and the Pelethite, and the sons of David have been ministers.
約雅達的兒子貝納雅管理革勒提和培肋提人；達味的兒子也作司祭。
