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.
| پس از چندی باز داوود به فلسطینی‌ها حمله کرده، آنها را شکست داد و شهر جت و روستاهای اطراف آن را از دست ایشان گرفت. داوود همچنین موآبی‌ها را شکست داد و آنها تابع داوود شده، به او باج و خراج می‌دادند. |
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].
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.
| در ضمن، داوود نیروهای هددعزر، پادشاه صوبه را در نزدیکی حمات در هم شکست، زیرا هددعزر می‌کوشید نواحی کنار رود فرات را به چنگ آورد. |
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.
| در این جنگ داوود هزار ارابه، هفت هزار سرباز سواره و بیست هزار سرباز پیاده را به اسیری گرفت. او صد اسب برای ارابه‌ها نگه داشت و رگ پای بقیهٔ اسبان را قطع کرد. |
5 When the army of Syria came from Damascus [city] to help Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.
| همچنین با بیست و دو هزار سرباز سوری که از دمشق برای کمک به هددعزر آمده بودند، جنگید و همهٔ آنها را کشت. |
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.
| داوود در دمشق چندین قرارگاه مستقر ساخت و مردم سوریه تابع داوود شده، به او باج و خراج می‌پرداختند. به این ترتیب داوود هر جا می‌رفت، خداوند او را پیروزی می‌بخشید. |
7 David soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by the officers of Hadadezer’s [army] and brought them to Jerusalem.
| داوود سپرهای طلای سرداران هددعزر را برداشت و به اورشلیم برد. |
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].
| در ضمن مقدار زیادی مفرغ از طبحت و کُن شهرهای هددعزر گرفته، آنها را نیز به اورشلیم برد. (بعدها سلیمان از این مفرغ برای ساختن لوازم خانهٔ خدا و حوض و ستونهای واقع در آن استفاده کرد.) |
9 When Tou, the king of Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
| توعو، پادشاه حمات، وقتی شنید که داوود بر لشکر هددعزر پیروز شده است، |
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.
| پسرش هدورام را فرستاد تا سلام وی را به او برساند و این پیروزی را به او تبریک بگوید، چون هددعزر و توعو با هم دشمن بودند. هدورام هدایایی از طلا و نقره و مفرغ به داوود داد. |
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.
| داوود همهٔ این هدایا را با طلا و نقره‌ای که خود از ادومی‌ها، موآبی‌ها، عمونی‌ها، فلسطینی‌ها، عمالیقی‌ها به غنیمت گرفته بود وقف خداوند کرد. |
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.
| ابیشای (پسر صرویه) هجده هزار سرباز ادومی را در درهٔ نمک کشت. |
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.
| او در سراسر ادوم، قرارگاههایی مستقر کرد و ادومی‌ها تابع داوود شدند. داوود به هر طرف می‌رفت خداوند به او پیروزی می‌بخشید. |
14 David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was just and fair.
| داوود با عدل و انصاف بر اسرائیل حکومت می‌کرد. |
15 Zeruiah’s son Joab was the chief army commander. Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the record-keeper.
| فرماندهٔ سپاه او یوآب (پسر صرویه) و وقایع‌نگار او یهوشافاط (پسر اخیلود) بود. |
16 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the Supreme Priests. Shavsha was the official secretary.
| صادوق (پسر اخیطوب) و اخیملک (پسر اَبیّاتار) هر دو کاهن بودند و سرایا کاتب بود. |
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.
| بنایا (پسر یهویاداع) فرماندهٔ گارد سلطنتی داوود بود. پسران داوود مشاوران دربار بودند. |
