2 Samuel 8
1 And it came to pass, after this, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, —and David took the bridle of the metropolis, out of the hand of the Philistines.
Dopo queste cose, Davide sconfisse i Filistei e li umiliò, e tolse di mano ai Filistei la supremazia che aveano.
2 And he smote Moab, and measured them with the line casting, them down to the ground, and be measured with two lines to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive, —so the Moabites became David’s, as servants, bringing gifts.
Sconfisse pure i Moabiti: e fattili giacere per terra, li misurò con la corda; ne misurò due corde per farli mettere a morte, e la lunghezza d’una corda per lasciarli in vita. E i Moabiti divennero sudditi e tributari di Davide.
3 And David smote Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, —when he went to lay his hand on the River Euphrates.
Davide sconfisse anche Hadadezer, figliuolo di Rehob, re di Tsoba, mentr’egli andava a ristabilire il suo dominio sul fiume Eufrate.
4 And David captured from him, a thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, —and David destroyed all the chariots, but reserved of them, a hundred chariots.
Davide gli prese millesettecento cavalieri e ventimila pedoni, e tagliò i garetti a tutti i cavalli da tiro, ma riserbò dei cavalli per cento carri.
5 And, when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David smote of the Syrians, twenty-two thousand men.
E quando i Siri di Damasco vennero per soccorrere Hadadezer, re di Tsoba, Davide ne uccise ventiduemila.
6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus, and the Syrians became David’s, as servants bringing gifts, —and so Yahweh gave victory unto 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 rendea vittorioso Davide dovunque egli andava.
7 And David took the shields of gold which had come to the servants of Hadadezer, —and brought them to Jerusalem;
E Davide tolse ai servi di Hadadezer i loro scudi d’oro e li portò a Gerusalemme.
8 also, from Betah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, did King David take bronze, exceeding much.
Il re Davide prese anche una grande quantità di rame a Betah e a Berothai, città di Hadadezer.
9 And, when Tou king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the forces of Hadadezer,
Or quando Toi, re di Hamath, ebbe udito che Davide avea sconfitto tutto l’esercito di Hadadezer,
10 then Tou sent Hadoram his son unto King David, to ask after his welfare, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and had smitten him, for Hadadezer had had wars with Tou, —and, in his hand, were vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze.
mandò al re Davide Joram, suo figliuolo, per salutarlo e per benedirlo perché avea mosso guerra a Hadadezer e l’avea sconfitto (Hadadezer era sempre in guerra con Toi); e Joram portò seco de’ vasi d’argento, dei vasi d’oro e de’ vasi di rame.
11 Them also, did King David hallow unto Yahweh, —with the silver and the gold which he had hallowed from all the nations which he had subdued:
E il re Davide consacrò anche quelli all’Eterno, come avea già consacrato l’argento e l’oro tolto alle nazioni che avea soggiogate:
12 from Syria, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek, —and from the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
ai Siri, ai Moabiti, agli Ammoniti, ai Filistei, agli Amalekiti, e come avea fatto del bottino di Hadadezer, figliuolo di Rehob, re di Tsoba.
13 And David made a name, when he returned from his smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, —eighteen thousand.
Al ritorno dalla sua vittoria sui Siri, Davide s’acquistò ancor fama, sconfiggendo nella valle del Sale diciottomila Idumei.
14 And he put, in Edom, garrisons, throughout all Edom, put be garrisons, and so it was that all Edom became servants unto David, —and Yahweh gave victory unto David, whithersoever he went.
E pose delle guarnigioni in Idumea; ne mise per tutta l’Idumea, e tutti gli Edomiti divennero sudditi di Davide; e l’Eterno rendea vittorioso Davide dovunque egli andava.
15 And David reigned over all Israel, —and so it was that David used to execute justice and righteousness for all his people;
Davide regnò su tutto Israele, facendo ragione e amministrando la giustizia a tutto il suo popolo.
16 and, Joab, son of Zeruiah, was over the army, —and, Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, was remembrancer.
E Joab, figliuolo di Tseruia, comandava l’esercito; Giosafat, figliuolo di Ahilud, era cancelliere;
17 And, Zadok, son of Ahitub, and Abimelech, son of Abiathar, were priests, —and, Seraiah, was scribe;
Tsadok, figliuolo di Ahitub, e Ahimelec, figliuolo di Abiathar, erano sacerdoti; Seraia era segretario;
18 and, Benaiah, son of Jehoiadah, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites, —and, the sons of David, became, chief rulers.
Benaia, figliuolo di Jehoiada, era capo dei Kerethei e dei Pelethei, e i figliuoli di Davide erano ministri di stato.
