< 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.
Ei tid deretter vann David yver filistarane og lagde deim under seg. David fekk dermed teke taumarne yver hovudstaden utor henderne på filistarne.
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.
So vann han yver moabitarne; deim mælte han med ei snor, det vil segja: han let deim leggja seg ned på marki, og mælte med tvo snorlengder deim som skulde lata livet, og med ei snorlengd deim som skulde liva. Moabitarne vart David undergjevne og laut leggja skatt.
3 David struck also Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his dominion at the River.
Dessutan vann David yver Soba-kongen Hadadezer Rehobsson, då han for i herferd og vilde tøygja magti si alt til Storelvi.
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.
David tok syttan hundrad hestfolk og tjuge tusund fotfolk. Og David let skjera sund hasarne på alle vognhestarne, sparde berre hundrad hestar.
5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck of the Arameans two and twenty thousand men.
Då Syria-folket frå Damaskus kom Soba-kongen Hadadezer til hjelp, slo David tvo og tjuge tusund Syria-menner.
6 Then David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus; and the Arameans became servants to David, and brought tribute. YHWH gave victory to David wherever he went.
David sette hervakter yver syrarane i Damaskus, og Syria-folket vart David undergjevne og laut leggja skatt. Soleis gav Herren David siger kvar helst han for fram.
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.
David tok dei gylte skjoldarne som Hadadezer-folki hadde bore, og førde til Jerusalem.
8 From Tebah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took a very great amount of bronze.
Og frå Hadadezer-byarne Betah og Berotai tok kong David store mengder av kopar.
9 When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the army of Hadadezer,
Då Hamat-kongen To’i frette at David hadde vunne yver heile Hadadezer-heren,
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.
sende han Joram, son sin, til kong David til å helsa på honom og ynskja honom til lukka med krigen mot Hadadezer og med sigeren yver honom - for Hadadeser hadde jamt ført krig mot To’i - og han hadde med seg kostnadting av sylv, av gull og av kopar.
11 The King also dedicated these to YHWH, with the silver and gold that he dedicated of all the nations which he subdued;
Kong David vigde deim og til Herren, like eins som han hadde gjort med sylvet og gullet frå folki han hadde lagt under seg:
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.
frå syrarane, moabitarne, ammonitarne, filistarane og amalekitarne; like eins med herfanget frå Soba-kongen Hadadezer Rehobsson.
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.
Då David kom heim etter sigeren yver syrarane, auka han frægdi si med di han slo attan tusund mann i Saltdalen.
14 And he put a garrison in Edom, and all the Edomites became servants to David. YHWH gave victory to David wherever he went.
Han sette hervakter yver Edom; i heile Edomlandet sette han vakter; og alle edomitarne vart David undergjevne. Soleis gav Herren David siger kvar helst han drog fram.
15 And David reigned over Israel, exercising justice and righteousness for all his people.
David var no konge yver heile Israel. Og David skipa lov og rett for heile folket sitt.
16 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was in charge of the army; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
Joab Serujason var øvste herhovding. Josafat Ahiludsson var kanslar.
17 and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abiathar the son of Ahimelech, were priests; and Shisha was scribe;
Sadok Ahitubsson og Ahimelek Abjatarsson var prestar. Og Seraja var riksskrivar.
18 and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada supervised the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief ministers.
Benaja Jojadason var hovding yver livvakti. Sønerne åt David var prestar.
