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.
Ket napasamak nga iti tiempo ti panagrurusing, iti tiempo a kadaywan a mapan makigubat dagiti ari, indauloan ni Joab ti armada iti gubat ket dinadaelna ti daga dagiti Ammonita. Napanna linakub ti Rabba. Nagtalinaed ni David idiay Jerusalem. Rinaut ni Joab ti Rabba ket pinarmekna daytoy.
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.
Innala ni David ti korona manipud iti ulo ti arida, ket naduktalanna nga agdagsen daytoy iti maysa a talento ti balitok, ket addaan daytoy kadagiti napapateg a batbato. Naisuot ti korona iti ulo ni David, ket inruarna iti siudad dagiti adu unay a nasamsam.
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.
Inruarna dagiti tattao nga adda iti siudad ket pinilitna ida nga agtrabaho babaen kadagiti ragadi, pasaratsat a landok ken kadagiti wasay. Pinilit ni David dagiti amin a siudad dagiti tattao ti Ammon tapno aramidenda daytoy a trabaho. Kalpasanna, nagsubli ni David ken ti sibubukel nga armada idiay Jerusalem.
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.
Ket napasamak a kalpasan daytoy nga adda ti gubat idiay Gezer maibusor kadagiti Filisteo. Pinatay ni Sibbecai a taga- Husa ni Sippai, maysa kadagiti kaputotan ti Refaim, ket naparmek dagiti Filisteo.
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.
Ket napasamak manen iti maysa a gubat maibusor kadagiti Filisteo idiay Gob, a pinatay ni Elhanan a putot a lalaki ni Jari a taga Betlehem ni Lami a kabsat ni Goliat a taga-Gat, a ti putan ti gayangna ket kas iti kayo nga us-usaren ti umaabel.
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].
Ket napasamak manen iti sabali pay a gubat idiay Gat nga adda lalaki a kasta unay ti katayagna nga addaan iti innem a ramay iti tunggal imana ken innem a ramay iti tunggal sakana. Nagtaud met isuna iti kaputotan ti Refaim.
7 When he made fun of the soldiers of Israel, Jonathan, the son of David’s [older] brother Shimea, killed him.
Idi linaisna ti armada ti Israel, pinatay isuna ni Jehonadab a putot ni Samma a kabsat ni David.
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.
Dagitoy ket kaputotan ti Refaim idiay Gat, ket napapatayda babaen iti ima ni David ken dagiti soldadona.
