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.
ORA, dopo queste cose, Davide percosse i Filistei, e li abbassò; e prese a' Filistei Gat, e le terre del suo territorio.
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].
Egli percosse ancora i Moabiti; onde i Moabiti furono soggetti di Davide, pagando tributo.
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.
Davide, oltre a ciò, percosse Hadarezer, re di Soba, verso Hamat, mentre egli andava per istabilire il suo dominio sul fiume Eufrate.
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.
E Davide gli prese mille carri, e settemila cavalieri, e ventimila pedoni, e tagliò i garetti a' [cavalli di] tutti i carri, salvo di cento ch'egli riserbò.
5 When the army of Syria came from Damascus [city] to help Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.
Or i Siri di Damasco erano venuti al soccorso di Hadarezer, re di Soba; e Davide percosse di que' Siri ventiduemila uomini.
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.
Poi Davide pose [guernigioni] nella Siria Damascena; ed i Siri divennero soggetti di Davide, pagando tributo. E il Signore salvava Davide dovunque egli andava.
7 David soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by the officers of Hadadezer’s [army] and brought them to Jerusalem.
E Davide prese gli scudi d'oro, che i servitori di Hadarezer portavano; e li portò in Gerusalemme.
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].
Davide prese ancora una grandissima quantità di rame da Tibhat, e da Cun, città di Hadarezer; onde Salomone fece il mar di rame, e le colonne, e i vasellamenti di rame.
9 When Tou, the king of Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
Or Tou, re di Hamat, avendo inteso che Davide avea sconfitto tutto l'esercito di Hadarezer, re di Soba,
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.
mandò il suo figliuolo Hadoram al re Davide, per salutarlo, e per benedirlo di ciò che egli avea combattuto contro ad Hadarezer, e l'avea sconfitto; perciocchè Hadarezer avea fatta guerra aperta a Tou. [Gli mandò] ancora ogni [sorte di] vasellamenti d'oro, e d'argento, e di rame.
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.
Il re Davide consacrò ancora al Signore [que' vasellamenti], insieme con l'argento, e con l'oro, ch'egli avea portato da tutte le genti, da Edom, e da' Moabiti, e dai figliuoli di Ammon, e da' Filistei, e da Amalec.
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.
Oltre a ciò, Abisai, figliuolo di Seruia, sconfisse gl'Idumei nella valle del sale, [in numero di] diciottomila.
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 mise guernigioni in Idumea; e tutti gl'Idumei divennero soggetti di Davide. E il Signore salvava Davide dovunque egli andava.
14 David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was just and fair.
Così Davide regnò sopra tutto Israele, facendo ragione e giustizia a tutto il suo popolo.
15 Zeruiah’s son Joab was the chief army commander. Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the record-keeper.
E Ioab, figliuolo di Seruia, [era] Capo dell'esercito; e Giosafat, figliuolo di Ahilud, [era] Cancelliere;
16 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the Supreme Priests. Shavsha was the official secretary.
e Sadoc, figliuolo di Ahitub, ed Abimelec, figliuolo di Ebiatar, [erano] Sacerdoti; e Sausa [era] Segretario;
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.
e Benaia, figliuolo di Gioiada, [era] sopra i Cheretei, ed i Peletei; ed i figliuoli di Davide [erano] i primi appresso del re.
