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.
Na época do retorno do ano, no momento em que os reis saem, Joab liderou o exército e desperdiçou o país das crianças de Ammon, e veio e sitiou Rabbah. Mas Davi ficou em Jerusalém. Joabe atacou Rabá e o derrubou.
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.
Davi tirou a coroa de seu rei de sua cabeça e a encontrou para pesar um talento de ouro, e havia pedras preciosas nela. Foi colocada na cabeça de Davi, e ele trouxe muito saque para fora da cidade.
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.
Ele trouxe para fora as pessoas que estavam nela, e mandou cortá-las com serras, com picaretas de ferro, e com machados. David o fez a todas as cidades das crianças de Ammon. Então Davi e todo o povo retornaram a Jerusalém.
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.
Depois disso, surgiu a guerra em Gezer com os filisteus. Então Sibbecai, o Hushathite, matou Sippai, dos filhos do gigante; e eles foram subjugados.
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.
Novamente houve guerra com os filisteus; e Elhanan, filho de Jair, matou Lahmi, irmão de Golias, o Gittita, cujo bastão era como uma lança de tecelão.
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].
Houve novamente a guerra em Gate, onde havia um homem de grande estatura, que tinha vinte e quatro dedos das mãos e dos pés, seis em cada mão e seis em cada pé; e ele também nasceu para o gigante.
7 When he made fun of the soldiers of Israel, Jonathan, the son of David’s [older] brother Shimea, killed him.
Quando ele desafiou Israel, Jonathan, filho de Siméia, irmão de David, o matou.
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.
Estes nasceram para o gigante em Gate; e caíram pela mão de Davi e pela mão de seus servos.
