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.
Dopo queste cose, Davide sconfisse i Filistei e li umiliò, e tolse di mano ai Filistei Gath e le città che ne dipendevano.
2 And he smote Moab, —and the Moabites became servants to David, bearers of a present.
Sconfisse pure i Moabiti; e i Moabiti 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 Hadarezer, re di Tsoba, verso Hamath, mentr’egli andava a stabilire il suo dominio sul fiume Eufrate.
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 pedoni; tagliò i garetti a tutti i cavalli da tiro, ma riserbò de’ cavalli per cento carri.
5 And, when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David smote of the Syrians, twenty-two thousand men.
E quando i Siri di Damasco vennero per soccorrere Hadarezer, re di Tsoba, 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.
Poi Davide mise delle guarnigioni nella Siria di Damasco, e i Siri divennero sudditi e tributari di Davide; e l’Eterno lo rendea vittorioso dovunque egli andava.
7 And David took the shields of gold, that were upon the servants of Hadarezer, —and brought them to Jerusalem;
E Davide tolse ai servi di Hadarezer i loro scudi d’oro e li portò a 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.
Davide prese anche una grande quantità di rame a Tibhath e a Cun, città di Hadarezer. Salomone se ne servì per fare il mar di rame, le colonne e gli utensili di rame.
9 And, when Tou, king of Hamath, heard that David had smitten all the force of Hadarezer king of Zobah,
Or quando Tou, re di Hamath, ebbe udito che Davide avea sconfitto tutto l’esercito di Hadarezer, re di Tsoba,
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 al re Davide Hadoram, suo figliuolo, per salutarlo e per benedirlo perché avea mosso guerra a Hadarezer e l’avea sconfitto (Hadarezer era sempre in guerra con Tou); e Hadoram portò seco ogni sorta di vasi d’oro, d’argento, e di rame.
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.
E il re Davide consacrò anche quelli all’Eterno, come avea già consacrato l’argento e l’oro che avea portato via a tutte le nazioni: agli Edomiti, ai Moabiti, agli Ammoniti, ai Filistei ed agli Amalekiti.
12 Moreover, Abishai, son of Zeruiah, smote Edom, in the Valley of Salt, —eighteen thousand;
Abishai, figliuolo di Tseruia, sconfisse pure diciottomila Edomiti nella valle del Sale.
13 and set, in Edom, garrisons, and all Edom became servants unto David, —and Yahweh gave David the victory, whithersoever he went.
E pose delle guarnigioni in Idumea, e tutti gli Edomiti divennero sudditi di Davide; e l’Eterno rendea Davide vittorioso dovunque egli andava.
14 So David reigned over all Israel, —and he was executing justice and righteousness for all his people;
Davide regnò su tutto Israele, facendo ragione e amministrando la giustizia a tutto il suo popolo.
15 and, Joab, son of Zeruiah, was over the army, —and, Jehoshaphat, son of Elihud, was recorder;
Joab, figliuolo di Tseruia, comandava l’esercito; Giosafat, figliuolo di Ahilud, era cancelliere;
16 and, Zadok, son of Ahitub, and Abimelech son of Abiathar, were priests, —and, Shavsha, was scribe;
Tsadok, figliuolo di Ahitub, e Abimelec, figliuolo di Abiathar, erano sacerdoti; Shavsa era segretario;
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.
Benaia, figliuolo di Jehoiada, era capo dei Kerethei e dei Pelethei; e i figliuoli di Davide erano i primi al fianco del re.
