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.
Depois destas coisas aconteceu que Davi feriu aos filisteus, e os humilhou; e tomou Gate e suas vilas das mãos dos filisteus.
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].
Também feriu a Moabe; e os moabitas foram servos de Davi, trazendo-lhe tributos.
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.
Assim feriu Davi a Hadadezer, rei de Zobá, em Hamate, quando ele foi assegurar seu domínio até o rio Eufrates.
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 tomou-lhes Davi mil carros, e sete mil a cavalo, e vinte mil homens a pé; e Davi aleijou os cavalos de todos os carros, exceto os de cem carros que deixou.
5 When the army of Syria came from Damascus [city] to help Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.
E vindo os sírios de Damasco em ajuda de Hadadezer, rei de Zobá, Davi feriu dos sírios vinte e dois mil homens.
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.
E Davi pôs guarnições na Síria de Damasco, e os sírios foram feitos servos de Davi, trazendo-lhe tributos; porque o SENHOR dava vitória a Davi por onde quer que fosse.
7 David soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by the officers of Hadadezer’s [army] and brought them to Jerusalem.
Tomou também Davi os escudos de ouro que levavam os servos de Hadadezer, e trouxe-os a Jerusalém.
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].
Assim de Tibate e de Cum, cidades de Hadadezer, Davi tomou muito bronze, de que Salomão fez o mar de bronze, as colunas, e vasos de bronze.
9 When Tou, the king of Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
E ouvindo Toú, rei de Hamate, que Davi havia defeito todo o exército de Hadadezer, rei de Zobá,
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.
Enviou seu filho Hdorão ao rei Davi para saudar-lhe e para bendizer-lhe por haver guerreado com Hadadezer, e haver lhe vencido; porque Toú tinha guerra com Hadadezer. Enviou-lhe também toda sorte de artigos de ouro, de prata e de metal;
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.
os quais o rei Davi dedicou a o SENHOR, com a prata e ouro que havia tomado de todas as nações, de Edom, de Moabe, dos filhos de Amom, dos filisteus, e de Amaleque.
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.
Além disso Abisai, filho de Zeruia, feriu no vale do sal dezoito mil edomitas.
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 pôs guarnições em Edom, e todos os edomitas foram servos de Davi; porque o SENHOR guardava a Davi por onde quer que fosse.
14 David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was just and fair.
E reinou Davi sobre todo Israel, e fazia juízo e justiça a todo seu povo.
15 Zeruiah’s son Joab was the chief army commander. Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the record-keeper.
E Joabe, filho de Zeruia, era general do exército; e Josafá filho de Ailude, cronista;
16 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the Supreme Priests. Shavsha was the official secretary.
E Zadoque, filho de Aitube, e Abimeleque filho de Abiatar, eram sacerdotes; e Sausa, secretário;
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, filho de Joiada, era sobre os quereteus e peleteus; e os filhos de Davi eram os principais próximos do rei.
