2 Samuel 8

1 After this it happened that David struck the Philistines, and subdued them, and David took the bridle of Ammah out of the hand of the Philistines.

Pea hili eni naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe teʻia ʻe Tevita ʻae kakai Filisitia, ʻo ne ikuna ʻakinautolu: pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Tevita ʻa Metekiama mei he nima ʻoe kakai Filisitia.

2 He struck Moab, and measured them with the line, making them to lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. The Moabites became servants to David, and brought tribute.

Pea naʻa ne taaʻi ʻa Moape, mo ne fuofua kinautolu ʻaki ʻae afo, mo ne lī hifo kinautolu ki he kelekele; ʻio, ko e fuaʻanga ʻe ua ke fai ai ʻae tāmate, pea ko e fuaʻanga kātoa ʻe taha ke fakamoʻui. Pea naʻe hoko ʻae kakai Moape, ko e kau hopoate kia Tevita, mo e tukuhau.

3 David struck also Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his dominion at the River.

Naʻe taaʻi foki ʻe Tevita ʻa Hetatesa ko e foha ʻo Lehopi, ko e tuʻi ʻo Sopa, ʻi heʻene ʻalu atu ke toe maʻu mai hono ngataʻanga [fonua ]ki he vaitafe ko ʻIufaletesi.

4 And David took from him a thousand of his chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for one hundred chariots.

Pea naʻe maʻu meiate ia ʻe Tevita ʻa e [saliote ]ʻe taha afe, mo e kau heka hoosi ʻe toko fitungeau, mo e kakai hāʻele ʻe toko ua mano: pea naʻe tuʻusi ʻe Tevita ʻae uoua ʻoe vaʻe ʻoe [fanga hoosi ʻoe ]saliote kotoa pē, ka naʻe tuku ʻe ia ʻae hoosi ki he saliote ʻe teau.

5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck of the Arameans two and twenty thousand men.

Pea ʻi heʻene haʻu ʻae kakai Silia mei Tamasikusi ke tokoni kia Hetatesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Sopa, naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Tevita ʻi he kakai Silia ʻae toko ua mano mo e toko ua afe.

6 Then David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus; and the Arameans became servants to David, and brought tribute. Jehovah gave victory to David wherever he went.

Pea naʻe toki tuku ʻe Tevita ʻae kautau ke leʻo ʻi Silia ʻo Tamasikusi: pea naʻe hoko ʻae kakai Silia ko e kau hopoate kia Tevita, pea [naʻa nau ]ʻomi ʻae ngaahi koloa [kiate ia]. Pea naʻe fakahaofi ʻa Tevita ʻe Sihova ʻi he potu kotoa pē naʻa ne ʻalu ki ai.

7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem, which, later on, were also taken by Shishak king of Egypt in the days of Rehoboam son of Solomon when he went up to Jerusalem.

Pea naʻe toʻo mai ʻe Tevita ʻae ngaahi pā fakakoula, ʻaia naʻe ʻai ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Hetatesa, ʻo ne ʻomi ia ki Selūsalema.

8 From Tebah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took a very great amount of bronze.

Pea naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻae palasa naʻe ʻomi ʻe Tevita ko e tuʻi mei Peta pea mei Petotai ko e ongo kolo ʻo Hetatesa.

9 When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the army of Hadadezer,

Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻe Toi ko e tuʻi ʻo Hemati ki he teʻia ʻe Tevita ʻae kautau kotoa pē ʻo Hetatesa,

10 then Toi sent Hadoram his son to king David, to greet him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And he brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze.

Naʻe toki ʻave ai ʻe Toi ʻa Solami ko hono foha kia Tevita ko e tuʻi, ke feʻiloaki mo ia, pea ke fakamālō kiate ia, koeʻuhi ko ʻene tauʻi ʻa Hetatesa, mo ne teʻia ia: he naʻe faʻa tau ʻa Hetatesa mo Toi. Pea naʻe ʻave mo [Solami ]ʻae ngaahi ipu siliva, mo e ngaahi ipu koula, mo e ngaahi ipu palasa:

11 The King also dedicated these to Jehovah, with the silver and gold that he dedicated of all the nations which he subdued;

‌ʻaia foki naʻe fakatapui ʻe Tevita kia Sihova, fakataha mo e siliva mo e koula ʻaia naʻa ne fakatapui mei he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē naʻa ne ikuna;

12 of Edom, and of Moab, and of the people of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

Mei Silia, pea mei Moape, pea mo e fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea mo e kakai Filisitia, pea mo ʻAmaleki, pea mei he koloa ʻa Hetatesa, ko e foha ʻo Lehopi, ko e tuʻi ʻo Sapa.

13 And David made a name for himself when he returned from defeating the Arameans. And Abishai son of Zeruiah defeated the Edomites in the Valley of Salt--eighteen thousand.

Pea naʻe ongoongoa ʻae hingoa ʻo Tevita ʻi heʻene liliu mai mei heʻene taaʻi ʻae kakai Silia ʻi he teleʻa ʻoe māsima, ko e tokotaha mano mo e toko valu afe.

14 And he put a garrison in Edom, and all the Edomites became servants of the King. Jehovah gave victory to David wherever he went.

Pea naʻa ne tuku ʻae kautau ke leʻo ki ʻItomi; ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻo ʻItomi naʻa ne tuku ʻae kautau ke leʻohi pea naʻe toka mai ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo ʻItomi kia Tevita. Pea naʻe fakahaofi ʻa Tevita ʻe Sihova ʻi he potu kotoa pē naʻa ne ʻalu ki ai.

15 And David reigned over Israel, exercising justice and righteousness for all his people.

Pea naʻe pule ʻa Tevita ki ʻIsileli kotoa; pea naʻe fai ʻe Tevita ʻae fakamaau mo fai totonu ki heʻene kakai kotoa pē.

16 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was in charge of the army; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;

Pea naʻe pule ʻae kautau ʻa Soape ko e tama ʻo Seluia; pea ko e tangata naʻe tohi ʻae meʻa fakapuleʻanga. Ko Sihosafate ko e foha ʻo ʻAhilute;

17 and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abiathar the son of Ahimelech, were priests; and Shisha was scribe;

Pea naʻe taulaʻeiki ʻa Satoki ko e foha ʻo ʻAhitupe, pea mo ʻAhimeleki ko e foha ʻo ʻApiata; pea ko e tangata tohi ʻa Selaia;

18 and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada supervised the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief ministers.

Pea naʻe pule ʻa Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata ki he kakai Keliti pea mo e kakai Peleti fakatouʻosi; pea naʻe tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he pule ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Tevita.
