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.
At pagkatapos nito'y nangyari na sinaktan ni David ang mga Filisteo, at pinasuko sila, at sinakop ang Gath, at ang mga nayon niyaon sa kamay ng mga Filisteo.
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].
At sinaktan niya ang Moab; at ang mga Moabita ay naging alipin ni David, at nagsipagdala ng mga kaloob.
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.
At sinaktan ni David sa Hamath si Adarezer na hari sa Soba samantalang kaniyang itinatatag ang kaniyang kapangyarihan sa tabi ng ilog 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.
At kumuha si David sa kaniya ng isang libong karo, at pitong libong mangangabayo, at dalawangpung libong naglalakad: at pinilayan ni David ang lahat ng mga kabayo ng mga karo, nguni't nagtira sa mga yaon ng sa isang daang karo.
5 When the army of Syria came from Damascus [city] to help Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.
At nang ang mga taga Siria sa Damasco ay magsiparoon upang magsisaklolo kay Adarezer na hari sa Soba, sumakit si David sa mga taga Siria ng dalawangpu't dalawang libong lalake.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y naglagay si David ng mga pulutong sa Siria ng Damasco; at ang mga taga Siria ay naging mga alipin ni David, at nagsipagdala ng mga kaloob. At binigyan ng Panginoon ng pagtatagumpay si David saan man siya naparoon.
7 David soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by the officers of Hadadezer’s [army] and brought them to Jerusalem.
At kinuha ni David ang mga kalasag na ginto, na nangasa mga lingkod ni Adarezer, at pinagdadala sa Jerusalem.
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].
At mula sa Thibath at mula sa Chun, na mga bayan ni Adarezer; ay kumuha si David ng totoong maraming tanso, na siyang ginawa ni Salomon na dagatdagatan na tanso, at mga haligi, at mga kasangkapang tanso.
9 When Tou, the king of Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
At nang mabalitaan ni Tou na hari sa Hamath na sinaktan ni David ang buong hukbo ni Adarezer na hari sa 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.
Kaniyang sinugo si Adoram na kaniyang anak sa haring David, upang bumati sa kaniya, at purihin siya, sapagka't siya'y lumaban kay Adarezer at sinaktan niya siya (sapagka't si Adarezer ay may mga pakikipagdigma kay Tou); at siya'y nagdala ng lahat na sarisaring kasangkapang ginto, at pilak, at tanso.
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.
Ang mga ito naman ay itinalaga ng haring David sa Panginoon, pati ng pilak at ginto na kaniyang kinuha sa lahat na bansa; na mula sa Edom, at mula sa Moab, at mula sa mga anak ni Ammon, at mula sa mga Filisteo, at mula sa 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.
Bukod dito'y si Abisai na anak ni Sarvia ay sumakit sa mga Idumeo sa Libis ng Asin, ng labingwalong libo.
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.
At naglagay siya ng mga pulutong sa Edom; at lahat ng mga Idumeo ay naging mga alipin ni David. At binigyan ng pagtatagumpay ng Panginoon si David saan man siya naparoon.
14 David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was just and fair.
At si David ay naghari sa buong Israel; at siya'y gumawa ng kahatulan at ng katuwiran sa buong bayan niya.
15 Zeruiah’s son Joab was the chief army commander. Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the record-keeper.
At si Joab na anak ni Sarvia ay nasa pamamahala sa hukbo; at si Josaphat na anak ni Ahilud ay kasangguni.
16 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the Supreme Priests. Shavsha was the official secretary.
At si Sadoc na anak ni Achitob, at si Abimelec na anak ni Abiathar, ay mga saserdote; at si Sausa ay kalihim;
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.
At si Benaias na anak ni Joiada ay nasa pamamahala sa mga Ceretheo at sa mga Peletheo; at ang mga anak ni David ay mga pinuno sa siping ng hari.
