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.
Le esia megbe la, David ɖu Filistitɔwo dzi eye wòbɔbɔ wo ɖe anyi to woƒe du Meteg Ama xɔxɔ me.
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.
Eɖu Moabtɔwo hã dzi eye wòna Moabtɔwo mlɔ anyi ɖe wo nɔewo xa le fliwo me. Etsɔ dzidzeka dzidze wo eye wòma wo ɖe akpa etɔ̃ me. Ewu ameawo ƒe akpa eve, ena akpa etɔ̃lia me tɔwo zu eƒe subɔlawo eye wòna wodzɔa nu nɛ ƒe sia ƒe.
3 And David strikes Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, in his going to bring back his power by the River [Euphrates];
Eɖu Zoba fia Hadadezer, Rehob ƒe vi dzi le esime wòva be yeaɖo yeƒe fiaɖuƒe anyi ɖe Frat tɔsisi la to.
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.
David lé sɔdola akpe wuiadre kple afɔzɔla akpe blaeve, etu ata na sɔawo katã negbe wo dometɔ alafa ɖeka ko.
5 And Aram of Damascus comes to give help to Hadadezer king of Zobah, and David strikes twenty-two thousand men of Aram;
Esi Aramtɔwo tso Damasko va be yewoakpe ɖe Zoba fia Hadadezer ŋu la, David wu wo dometɔ akpe blaeve-vɔ-eve.
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;
David da asrafo aɖewo ɖe Damasko si nye Aramtɔwo ƒe fiadu la me. Ale Aramtɔwo zu David tenɔlawo eye wodzɔa adzɔga nɛ ƒe sia ƒe. Ale Yehowa na David ɖua dzi le afi sia afi si wòayi.
7 and David takes the shields of gold which were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brings them to Jerusalem;
David tsɔ sikakpoxɔnu siwo ŋu dɔ Fia Hadadezer ƒe aʋakɔwo wɔ la va Yerusalem.
8 and from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David has taken very much bronze.
Etsɔ akɔbli gbogbo aɖe hã tso Teba kple Berotai siwo nye Fia Hadadezer ƒe du gãwo la me yi Yerusalem.
9 And Toi king of Hamath hears that David has struck all the force of Hadadezer,
Esi Hamat fia, Tɔi, se ale si David si fia Hadadezer ƒe aʋakɔ blibo la,
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,
eɖo Via ŋutsu Yoram ɖe David gbɔ be wòado gbe nɛ, akafui le esi wòwɔ aʋa kple Hadadezer eye wòsii la ta, vevietɔ, esi Tɔi kple Hadadezer nye futɔwo ta. Tɔi ɖo nu siwo wowɔ kple klosalo, sika kple akɔbli la ɖe David.
11 also King David sanctified them to YHWH, with the silver and the gold which he sanctified of all the nations which he subdued:
Fia David kɔ nunana siawo katã ŋu na Yehowa, abe ale si wòwɔ kple klosalo kple sika si wòxɔ tso dukɔ siwo katã dzi wòɖu gbɔ,
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.
tso Edom kple Moab, Amonitɔwo kple Filistitɔwo kple Amalekitɔwo gbɔ ene. Ekɔ nu siwo wòha tso Hadadezer, Rehob ƒe vi, Zoba fia hã gbɔ la ŋu na Yehowa.
13 And David makes a name in his turning back from his striking Aram in the Valley of Salt—eighteen thousand;
Ale David ƒe ŋkɔ ɖi hoo. Esi wòtrɔ gbɔ la, ewu Siriatɔ akpe wuienyi le Dze Balime
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.
eye wòda asrafo aɖewo ɖe Edom ƒe teƒe ɖe sia ɖe. Ale Edomtɔwo zu David teviwo. Yehowa na wòɖua dzi le afi sia afi si wòayi.
15 And David reigns over all Israel, and David is doing judgment and righteousness to all his people,
David ɖu Israel blibo la dzi kple dzɔdzɔenyenye eye wòwɔ nyui na ame sia ame.
16 and Joab son of Zeruiah [is] over the host, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] remembrancer,
Yoab, Zeruya ƒe vi nɔ aʋakɔ la nu. Yehosafat, Ahilud ƒe vi nye fia ƒe tsiami.
17 and Zadok son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech son of Abiathar, [are] priests, and Seraiah [is] scribe,
Zadok, Ahitub ƒe vi kple Ahimelek, Abiata ƒe vi nye nunɔlawo eye Seraya nye fia la ƒe nuŋlɔla.
18 and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is over] both the Cherethite and the Pelethite, and the sons of David have been ministers.
Benaya, Yehoiada ƒe vi nɔ Keretitɔwo kple Peletitɔwo, ame siwo nye fiaŋudzɔlawo la nu eye David ƒe viŋutsuwo nye nunɔlawo.
