1 Chronicles 20
1 [In that region], kings usually went [with their armies] to fight [their enemies] (in the springtime/when the cold season ended). But that year, David [did not do that. Instead, he] stayed in Jerusalem, and he sent [his commander] Joab [to lead the army]. Joab took his troops. They [crossed the Jordan River and] ruined the land of the Ammon people-group. Then they went to Rabbah, [the capital city, ] and surrounded it. David stayed in Jerusalem [for a while. But later he took more troops and went to help] Joab. Their armies attacked Rabbah and destroyed it.
A I ka makahiki hou, i ka manawa e hele aku ai na alii, alakai aku la o Ioaba i ka poe ikaika o na koa, a luku iho la i ka aina o na mamo a Amona, a hele aku la, a hoopilikia aku la ia Raba: aka, noho iho la o Davida i Ierusalema A pepehi aku la o Ioaba ia Raba, a luku iho la ia wahi.
2 Then David took the crown from the head of the king of Rabbah (OR, from the head of their god Milcom) and put it on his own head. It [was very heavy; it] weighed (75 pounds/34 kg.), and it had many very valuable stones [fastened to it]. They also took many other valuable things from the city.
Lawe ae la o Davida i ka papalealii o ko lakou alii mailuna o kona poo, he talena gula ia i ke kaupaona ana, a me na pohaku makamae maloko; a ua kauia oia maluna o ke poo o Davida: a lawe mai la ia i ka waiwai pio he nui loa mailoko mai o ua kulanakauhale la.
3 Then they brought the people out of the city and forced them to [work for their army, ] using saws and iron picks and axes. David’s soldiers did this in all the cities of the Ammon people-group. Then David and all of his army returned to Jerusalem.
Lawe mai la hoi oia iwaho i na kanaka oloko: a okioki iho la ia lakou i na pahiolo, a i na mea hao oioi, a i na koilipi. Pela i hana aku ai o Davida i na kulanakauhale a pau o na mamo a Amona. A hoi hou mai la o Davida me na kanaka a pau i Ierusalema.
4 Later, [David’s army] fought a battle with the army of Philistia, at Gezer [city]. During the battle Sibbecai, from Hushah [clan], killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the Rapha [giants]. So the armies of Philistia were defeated.
A mahope mai o ia mea, ku ae la ke kaua ma Gezera me na Pilisetia; ia manawa, pepehi iho la o Sibekai no Husata ia Sipai no na keiki a ke kanaka nunui: a ua hoopioia lakou.
5 In another battle against the soldiers of Philistia, Elhanan, the son of Jair, killed Lahmi, the [younger] brother of [the giant] Goliath from Gath [town], who had a spear which was as thick as a weaver’s rod.
A he kaua hou no hoi me na Pilisetia; a pepehi iho la o Elehanana ke keiki a Iaira ia Lahemi ke kaikaina o Golia no Gata, o ke au o kaua ihe, ua like ia me ka laau o ka mea ulana lole.
6 There was another battle near Gath. A (huge man/giant) was there who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He was descended from [the] Rapha [giants].
A he kaua hou ma Gata, ilaila he kanaka nunui, he iwakaluakumamaha na manamanalima a me na manamanawawae ona, he paono a he paono, a he keiki no hoi ia na ke kanaka nunui.
7 When he made fun of the soldiers of Israel, Jonathan, the son of David’s [older] brother Shimea, killed him.
Aka i ka wa i hoino mai ai oia i ka Iseraela, pepehi iho la o lonatana ke keiki a Simea a ke kaikuaana o Davida, ia ia.
8 Those were some of the descendants of [the] Rapha [giants] who had lived in Gath, who were killed [MTY] by David and his soldiers.
Ua hanau keia poe na ke kanaka nunui ma Gata; a haule lakou ma ka lima o Davida, a me ka lima o kana mau kauwa
