1 Chronicles 20
1 And it came to pass, at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out [to battle], that Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and overthrew it.
Awo mu biro, bakabaka mwe bagenderanga okulwana, Yowaabu n’akulembera eggye, n’azisa ensi y’abaana ba Amoni, ate era n’azingiza Labba. Naye Dawudi ye n’asigala mu Yerusaalemi, Yowaabu ye n’alumba Labba, n’akizikiriza.
2 And David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David’s head: and he brought forth the spoil of the city, exceeding much.
Awo Dawudi n’addira engule eyali eya kabaka waabwe, obuzito bwayo kilo asatu mu nnya eza zaabu, nga mu yo baateekamu amayinja ag’omuwendo, n’agitikka ku mutwe. N’atwala n’omunyago mungi ddala okuva mu kibuga ekyo.
3 And he brought forth the people that were therein, and cut [them] with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. And thus did David unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
Yatwala abantu abaali mu kibuga ekyo n’abawa emirimu nga bakozesa n’emisumeeno, n’ensuuluulu, n’embazzi. Bw’atyo Dawudi bwe yakola ebibuga byonna eby’abaana ba Amoni, oluvannyuma ye n’eggye lye lyonna ne baddayo e Yerusaalemi.
4 And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines: then Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Sippai, of the sons of the giant: and they were subdued.
Awo olwatuuka oluvannyuma lw’ebyo ne wabalukawo entalo n’Abafirisuuti e Gezeri. Mu kiseera ekyo Sibbekayi Omukusasi n’atta Sippayi omu ku bazzukulu b’agasajja aganene ddala, era ne bawangula Abafirisuuti.
5 And there was again war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
Mu lutalo olulala n’Abafirisuuti, Erukanani mutabani wa Yayiri n’atta Lakani muganda wa Goliyaasi Omugitti, eyalina olunyago lw’effumu olwali ng’omuti ogulukirwako engoye.
6 And there was again war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six [on each hand], and six [on each foot]; and he also was born unto the giant.
Mu lutalo olulala olwali e Gaasi, waaliwo omusajja omuwanvu ennyo eyali omu ku bazzukulu b’agasajja aganene, ng’alina engalo mukaaga ku buli mukono, n’obugere mukaaga ku buli kigere.
7 And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother slew him.
Yasoomooza nnyo Isirayiri, era Yonasaani mutabani wa Simeeyi, muganda wa Dawudi n’amutta.
8 These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
Abo bonna baali bazzukulu ba lisajja Laafa ow’e Gaasi, era bonna ne bagwa mu mikono gya Dawudi n’abasajja be.
