1 Chronicles 18
1 Some time later, David’s [army] attacked the army of Philistia and defeated them. They captured Gath [city] and the surrounding villages.
Amogalu fa: no, hina bagade Da: ibidi da bu Filisidini dunu doagala: le, ili hasali. Amalalu, Filisidini dunu ilia Isala: ili sogega ouligimusa: dawa: i da ne gumi ba: i.
2 His [army] also defeated [the army of] the Moab [people-group]. The people were forced to accept David as their ruler, and also to pay money [each year to David’s government, in order that David’s army would protect them].
Amalalu, Da: ibidi da Moua: be dunu hasali. Amaiba: le, e da Moua: be fi dunu ilima ouligisu hamoi, amola ilia da ema su (‘da: gisi’) iasu.
3 David’s [army] also fought against [the army of] Hadadezer, the king of [the] Zobah [region in Syria] near Hamath [city], when Hadadezer was trying to establish control over the area near the Euphrates River.
Amalalu, e da Ha: da: disa (E da Silia soge fonobahadi amo Souba amoga hina bagade galu) amo hasali. Ha: da: disa da soge Iufala: idisi Hano gusudili ouligilalu. Be mafua dunu da lelebeba: le, e da amoga ouligisu fisi. E da amo sogega ouligisu hou bu lamusa: ahoanoba, Da: ibidi da e doagala: i.
4 David’s [army] captured 1,000 of Hadadezer’s chariots, 7,000 chariot-drivers, and 20,000 soldiers. They hamstrung/crippled most of their horses; there were only 100 horses that they did not cripple.
Da: ibidi da sa: liode 1,000 agoane, dadi gagui dunu hosi da: iya fila heda: i 7,000 agoane amola emoga ahoasu dadi gagui dunu 20,000 agoane gagulaligi. E da hosi idi, amo da sa: liode 100 agoane hiougima: ne defele gala, amo gagulaligi. E da hosi eno huluane mae masa: ne, ilia emo dina: fe dadamunisisi.
5 When the army of Syria came from Damascus [city] to help Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.
Silia fi dunu Dama: sagase moilai bai bagadega esalu da hina bagade Ha: da: disa fuli gala: ma: ne dadi gagui wa: i asunasi. Be Da: ibidi da amo wa: i doagala: le, 22,000 dunu fane lelegei.
6 Then David stationed groups of his soldiers in Damascus, and the people of Syria were forced to accept David as their ruler, and to pay to David’s government [each year] the payment/tax that he demanded. And Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win battles everywhere they went.
Amalalu, e da ilia soge ganodini ha wa: i fisu diasu gilisisu gaguli gagai. E da ili ouligibiba: le, ilia da ema su (‘da: gisi’) iasu. Hina Gode da Da: ibidi fidibiba: le, e da habi ahoanoba, hasalasu hou fawane ba: su.
7 David soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by the officers of Hadadezer’s [army] and brought them to Jerusalem.
Da: ibidi da gouliga hamoi da: igene ga: su amo Ha: da: disa ea eagene ouligisu dunu ilia gaguli ahoasu, amo samogene, Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega gaguli asi.
8 They also brought from Tebah (OR, Tibhath) and Cun, two towns that belonged to Hadadezer, a lot of bronze, which [David’s son] Solomon [later] used to make the huge bronze basin and the pillars and other bronze items [for the temple].
Amola e da ‘balase’ bagadedafa Dibaha: de amola Gune (amo moilai bai bagade aduna Ha: da: disa ea ouligisu) amoga samogei. (Fa: no, Soloumane da Debolo Diasu ofodo sugi, duni bugi amola Debolo hawa: hamosu liligi, amo balasega hamoi)
9 When Tou, the king of Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
Ha: ima: de soge hina bagade ea dio amo Doui, e da Da: ibidi da Ha: da: disa ea dadi gagui wa: i hasali, amo sia: nabi.
10 he sent his son Hadoram to King David, to greet him and (congratulate him/tell him that he was happy) about his defeating Hadadezer’s army, which had been fighting [the army of] Tou. Hadoram brought to David many items/gifts made of gold, silver, and bronze.
Amaiba: le, e da egefe Youla: me amo Da: ibidima nodone sia: ma: ne asunasi. Bai Da: ibidi da Ha: da: disa hasali, amola Doui da eso bagohame Ha: da: disama gegenanusu. Youla: me da gouli amola silifa amola balase amoga hamoi liligi Da: ibidima gaguli asili, ema hahawane i.
11 King David dedicated those things to Yahweh, like he had done with the silver and gold that his soldiers had taken from [the] Edom and Moab [people-groups], and from the Ammon people-group and from the people of Philistia, and from [the descendants of] Amalek.
Hina bagade Da: ibidi da amo liligi amola eno silifa amola gouli e da fifi asi eno amo hasali (Idome, Moua: be, A:mone, Filisidini amola A: malege) amoga samogei, amo gilisili, Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadoma: ne ilegei. Amola liligi amo e da Ha: da: disa amoma samogei, mogili agoane ilegei.
12 [One of David’s army commanders, ] Abishai, whose mother was Zeruiah, went with his army and killed 18,000 soldiers from Edom in the Salt Valley.
Abisia: i (ea ame da Selouaia) da Deme Fago ganodini amo Idome dunu hasali dagoi. E da Idome dunu 18,000 agoane fane legei.
13 Then David stationed groups of his soldiers there in Edom, and the people of Edom were forced to accept David as their king and to pay money to David’s government [every year]. And Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win battles wherever they went.
E da Idome soge ganodini, dadi gagui ha wa: i fisisu diasu gilisisu gaguli gagai, amola e da Idome dunu ouligisu. Hina Gode da Da: ibidi fidibiba: le, e da habidili ahoanoba, hasalasisu hou fawane ba: i.
14 David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was just and fair.
Da: ibidi da Isala: ili soge huluanedafa ouligisu. E da ouligibiba: le, ea fi dunu da moloidafa hou fawane ba: i.
15 Zeruiah’s son Joab was the chief army commander. Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the record-keeper.
Abisia: i ola Youa: be, e da dadi gagui wa: i ilia ouligisu galu. Yihosiafa: de (Ahailade egefe) da sia: dedei ouligisu galu.
16 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the Supreme Priests. Shavsha was the official secretary.
Sa: idoge (Ahaidabe egefe) amola Ahimelege (Abaia: da egefe) da gobele salasu dunu esalu. Hina bagade fi sia: dedesu dunu da Sila: ia galu.
17 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada ruled over the Kereth and Peleth groups [who were David’s bodyguards]. And David’s sons were his most important officials.
Bina: ia (Yihoiada egefe) da Da: ibidi ea da: igene sosodo aligisu dunuma ouligisu galu. Amola Da: ibidi ea egefelali da ea hawa: hamosu dunu mimogo hamoi.
