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.
| سال بعد در فصل بهار، فصلی که پادشاهان معمولاً درگیر جنگ هستند یوآب سپاه اسرائیل را بسیج کرد و به شهرهای عمونی‌ها حمله برد، اما داوود پادشاه در اورشلیم ماند. یوآب شهر ربه را محاصره نموده، آن را گرفت و ویران کرد. |
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.
| وقتی داوود به میدان جنگ آمد، تاج گرانبهای پادشاه عمونی را از سر او برداشت و بر سر خود گذاشت. این تاج حدود سی و پنج کیلو وزن داشت و از طلا و جواهرات قیمتی ساخته شده بود. داوود غنیمت زیادی از شهر ربه گرفت و با خود برد. |
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.
| داوود، مردم آن شهر را اسیر کرده، اره و تیشه و تبر به دستشان داد و آنها را به کارهای سخت گماشت. او با اهالی شهرهای دیگر عمون نیز همین‌طور عمل کرد. سپس داوود و لشکر او به اورشلیم بازگشتند. |
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.
| پس از مدتی باز جنگی با فلسطینی‌ها در جازر درگرفت. سبکای حوشاتی، سفای را که یک غول فلسطینی بود، کشت و فلسطینی‌ها تسلیم شدند. |
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.
| در طی جنگ دیگری با فلسطینی‌ها، الحانان (پسر یاعیر)، لحمی را که برادر جلیات جتی بود و نیزه‌ای به کلفتی چوب نساجها داشت، کشت. |
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].
| یک بار هم وقتی فلسطینی‌ها در جت با اسرائیلی‌ها می‌جنگیدند، یک غول فلسطینی که در هر دست و پایش شش انگشت داشت، نیروهای اسرائیلی را به ستوه آورد. آنگاه یوناتان، برادرزادهٔ داوود که پسر شمعا بود، او را کشت. |
7 When he made fun of the soldiers of Israel, Jonathan, the son of David’s [older] brother Shimea, killed him.
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.
| این سه مرد که به دست داوود و سربازان او کشته شدند، از نسل غول‌پیکران جت بودند. |
