1 Chronicles 18
1 And it canto to pass, after this, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, —and took Gath and her villages, out of the hand of the Philistines.
In seguito Davide sconfisse i Filistei, li piegò e tolse loro Gat con le dipendenze.
2 And he smote Moab, —and the Moabites became servants to David, bearers of a present.
Quindi sconfisse i Moabiti, che divennero sudditi e tributari di Davide.
3 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah, towards Hamath, —as he went to establish his hold of the river Euphrates.
Davide sconfisse anche Hadad-Ezer, re di Zoba, verso Amat, nella sua marcia verso il fiume Eufrate per stabilirvi il suo dominio.
4 And David captured from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, —and David destroyed all the chariots, saving that he reserved from them a hundred chariots.
Davide gli prese mille carri, settemila cavalieri e ventimila fanti. Davide poi fece tagliare i garretti a tutti i cavalli, risparmiandone un centinaio.
5 And, when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David smote of the Syrians, twenty-two thousand men.
Gli Aramei di Damasco andarono in aiuto di Hadad-Ezer, re di Zoba, ma Davide ne uccise ventiduemila.
6 And David put [garrisons] in Syria of Damascus, and so it was that the Syrians became, David’s, servants, bearers of a present, —so Yahweh gave victory to David, whithersoever he went.
Davide mise guarnigioni in Aram di Damasco; gli Aramei divennero sudditi e tributari di Davide. Il Signore rese vittorioso Davide in ogni sua impresa.
7 And David took the shields of gold, that were upon the servants of Hadarezer, —and brought them to Jerusalem;
Davide prese gli scudi d'oro agli ufficiali di Hadad-Ezer e li portò in Gerusalemme.
8 also, from Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadarezer, David took very much bronze, —therewith, did Solomon make the sea of bronze, and the pillars, and the vessels of bronze.
Da Tibcat e da Cun, città di Hadad-Ezer, Davide asportò una grande quantità di bronzo, con cui Salomone costruì il bacino di bronzo, le colonne e i vari arredi di bronzo.
9 And, when Tou, king of Hamath, heard that David had smitten all the force of Hadarezer king of Zobah,
Tou re di Amat, saputo che Davide aveva sconfitto tutto l'esercito di Hadad-Ezer re di Zoba,
10 he sent Hadoram his son unto King David, to ask after his welfare, and to bless him, because he had made war against Hadarezer and had smitten him, for, a man making wars against Tou, had been Hadarezer, —and [he had with him] all manner of vessels of gold and silver and bronze;
mandò Adoram suo figlio per salutare il re Davide e per felicitarsi con lui d'avere assalito e vinto Hadad-Ezer, poiché Tou era sempre in guerra con Hadad-Ezer; Adoram portava con sé oggetti d'oro, d'argento e di bronzo.
11 them also, did King David hallow unto Yahweh, with the silver and the gold, that he bare away from all the nations, —from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
Anche tali oggetti il re Davide li consacrò al Signore insieme con l'argento e l'oro che aveva preso da tutti gli altri popoli, ossia da Edom, da Moab, dagli Ammoniti, dai Filistei e dagli Amaleciti.
12 Moreover, Abishai, son of Zeruiah, smote Edom, in the Valley of Salt, —eighteen thousand;
Abisai figlio di Zeruià sconfisse nella Valle del sale diciottomila Idumei.
13 and set, in Edom, garrisons, and all Edom became servants unto David, —and Yahweh gave David the victory, whithersoever he went.
Pose guarnigioni in Edom; tutti gli Idumei divennero sudditi di Davide. Il Signore rendeva vittorioso Davide in ogni sua impresa.
14 So David reigned over all Israel, —and he was executing justice and righteousness for all his people;
Davide regnò su tutto Israele e rese giustizia con retti giudizi a tutto il popolo.
15 and, Joab, son of Zeruiah, was over the army, —and, Jehoshaphat, son of Elihud, was recorder;
Ioab figlio di Zeruià comandava l'esercito; Giòsafat figlio di Achilud era archivista.
16 and, Zadok, son of Ahitub, and Abimelech son of Abiathar, were priests, —and, Shavsha, was scribe;
Zadòk figlio di Achitùb e Abimèlech figlio di Ebiatàr erano sacerdoti; Savsa era scriba.
17 and, Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, —and, the sons of David, were first, in attendance on the king.
Benaià figli di Ioiadà comandava i Cretei e i Peletei; i figli di Davide erano i primi al fianco del re.
