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.
MAHOPE mai o keia mea, pepehi aku la o Davida i na Pilisetia, a hoopau ia lakou; a lawe ae la oia ia Gata, a me na kulanahale ona mailoko ae o ka lima o na Pilisetia.
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].
Pepehi aku hoi oia i ka Moaba: a lilo mai la na Moaba i poe kauwa na Davida, a lawe mai la hoi lakou i ka waiwai hookupu.
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.
Pepehi aku la hoi o Davida ia Hadarezera ke alii o Zoba, a hiki i Hamata, ia ia i hele aku ai e hoopaa i kona aupuni ma ka muliwai o Euperate.
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.
Lawe ae la o Davida mai ona aku i na halekaa he tausani, me na hoohololio ehiku tausani, a me na tausani kanaka kani wawae he iwakalua: oki iho la hoi o Davida i ke olona wawae o na lio a pau o na halekaa; aka, hookoe iho la ia i hookahi haneri o na lio halekaa.
5 When the army of Syria came from Damascus [city] to help Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.
A i ka hele ana mai o ko Suria no Damaseko e kokua mamuli o Hadarezera, ke alii o Zoba, pepehi aku la o Davida i ko Suria he iwakaluakumamalua na tausani kanaka.
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.
A hana iho la o Davida i na pakaua ma Suria no Damaseko, a lilo ae la ko Suria i poe kauwa na Davida, a lawe mai la i ka waiwai hookupu. Pela o Iehova i malama mai ai ia Davida i na wahi a pau ana i hele ai.
7 David soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by the officers of Hadadezer’s [army] and brought them to Jerusalem.
Lawe ae la hoi o Davida i na palekaua gula maluna o na kauwa a Hadarezera ke alii o Zoba, a lawe mai la ia mau mea i Ierusalema.
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].
Lawe mai la hoi o Davida i ke keleawe he nui loa, mai Tibehata mai. a mai Kuna hoi, o na kulanakaubale ia o Hadarezera; ka mea keia i hanaia'i e Solomona ke kai keleawe, me na pau a me na ipu keleawe.
9 When Tou, the king of Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
A lohe ae la o Tou ke alii o Hamata, ua pepehi o Davida i ka poe kaua a pau o Hadarezera, o ke alii no Zoba;
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.
Hoouna mai la oia i kana keiki ia Hadorama io Davida la, e hooaloha ia ia, a e hoomaikai ia ia, no kona kaua ana ia Hadarezera, a ua pepehi ia ia; (no ka mea, he kanaka o Hadarezera i kaua aku me Tou; ) a me ia no na ipu gula, na ipu kala a me na ipu keleawe he nui loa.
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.
Hoolaa aku la o Davida ke alii ia mau mea no Iehova, me ke kala a me ke gula ana i lawe mai ai no na lahuikanaka a pau; mai ka Edoma mai, mai ka Moaba mai, a mai ka poe mamo mai a Amona, a mai ko Pilisetia, a mai ka Amaleka mai.
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.
A pepehi aku la o Abisai ke keiki a Zeruia i na kanaka o Edoma he umikumamawalu tausani, ma ke awawa paakai.
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.
Hana iho la hoi oia i na pakaua ma Edoma: a lilo ae la ka Edoma a pau i poe kauwa na Davida. Pela o Iehova i malama mai ai ia Davida i na wahi a pau ana i hele aku ai.
14 David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was just and fair.
A nohoalii iho la o Davida maluna o ka Iseraela a pau, a hooko aku la i ke kanawai me ka hoopono aku iwaena o kona poe kanaka a pau.
15 Zeruiah’s son Joab was the chief army commander. Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the record-keeper.
A o Ioaba ke keiki a Zeruia, oia ka lunakaua; a o Iehosapata ke keiki a Ahiluda ke kakaolelo.
16 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the Supreme Priests. Shavsha was the official secretary.
A o Zadoka ke keiki a Ahituba, a me Abimeleka ke keiki a Abiatara na kahuna; a o Savasa ke kakauolelo;
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.
A o Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada, maluna ia o ka poe Kereti a me ka poe Peleti: a o na keikikane a Davida, he mau luna lakou me ke alii.
