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.
Ergasii Daawit Filisxeemota moʼatee of jala isaan galfate; Gaatii fi gandoota naannoo ishee jiranis harka Filisxeemotaatii baase.
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].
Daawit Moʼaabotas ni moʼate; isaanis isa jalatti bulanii gibira fidaniif.
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.
Kana irrattis Daawit yeroo Laga Efraaxiis bira yaadannoo ofii dhaabbachuu dhaqetti, hamma Hamaatiitti deemee Hadaadezer mooticha Zoobaa moʼate.
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.
Daawitis gaariiwwan waraanaa isaa kuma tokko, abbootii fardaa kuma torbaa fi loltoota lafoo kuma digdama isa irraa fudhate. Innis fardeen gaariiwwanii dhibba tokko qofa hambisee kanneen hafan hunda mogolee kukkute.
5 When the army of Syria came from Damascus [city] to help Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.
Yeroo warri Sooriyaa kanneen Damaasqoo jiraatan Hadaadezer mooticha Zoobaa gargaaruuf dhufanittis, Daawit isaan keessaa nama kuma digdamii lama fixe.
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.
Ergasiis kutaa bulchiinsa Damaasqoo kan biyya Sooriyaa keessa qubata loltootaa dhaabbate; warri Sooriyaas isa jalatti bulanii gibira fidaniif. Waaqayyos Daawitiif lafa inni dhaqe hundatti mooʼicha kenne.
7 David soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by the officers of Hadadezer’s [army] and brought them to Jerusalem.
Daawitis gaachana warqee kan ajajjoonni loltoota Hadaadezer harkatti qabatan fudhatee gara Yerusaalem fide.
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].
Daawit magaalaawwan Hadaadezer jechuunis Xibihaatii fi Kuuni naasii akka malee baayʼee fudhate; Solomoon immoo Gaanii naasii, utubaawwanii fi miʼoota naasii garaa garaa naasii sana irraa hojjete.
9 When Tou, the king of Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
Tooʼuun mootiin Hamaati yommuu akka Daawit guutummaa loltoota Hadaadezer mooticha Zoobaa moʼate dhagaʼetti,
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.
akka inni sababii ol aantummaa Daawit Mootichi waraana keessatti Hadaadezer irratti argateetiif harka isa fuudhee dhaamsa gammachuu isaaf dabarsuuf ilma ofii Hadooraamin gara isaatti erge; Hadaadezer Tooʼuu wajjin wal waraanaa tureetii. Adooraamis kennaa gosa hundaa warqee irraa, meetii fi naasii irraa hojjetaman fideef.
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.
Daawit Mootichis akkuma meetii fi warqee saboota Edoom, Moʼaab, Amoonota, Filisxeemotaa fi Amaaleq hunda irraa boojiʼee ture godhe sana miʼoota kanneen illee Waaqayyoof addaan baase.
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.
Abiishaayi ilmi Zeruuyaa Sulula Soogiddaa keessatti Edoomota kuma kudha saddeet fixe.
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.
Innis Edoom keessa qubata loltootaa dhaabbate; Edoomonni hundinuus Daawitiif ni garbooman. Waaqayyos lafa inni dhaqe hundatti Daawitiif moʼannaa ni kenne.
14 David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was just and fair.
Daawit guutummaa Israaʼel irratti mootii taʼee saba isaa hundaaf murtii qajeelaa fi qajeelummaadhaan hojjete.
15 Zeruiah’s son Joab was the chief army commander. Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the record-keeper.
Yooʼaab ilmi Zeruuyaa hoogganaa loltootaa ture; Yehooshaafaax ilmi Ahiiluud immoo galmeessaa ture;
16 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the Supreme Priests. Shavsha was the official secretary.
Zaadoq ilmi Ahiixuubii fi Abiimelek ilmi Abiyaataar luboota turan; Shaafisaan immoo barreessaa ture;
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.
Benaayaa ilmi Yehooyaadaa hoogganaa Kereetotaa fi Pheletotaa ture; ilmaan Daawit immoo mootichatti aananii qondaaltota hangafoota turan.
