2 Samuel 8
1 Some time later, David’s army attacked the Philistia [army] and defeated them. They took control over the entire Philistia area.
Sesudah itu Daud memukul kalah orang Filistin dan menundukkan mereka; lalu Daud mengambil kendali pemerintahan atas ibu kota dari tangan orang Filistin.
2 David’s army also defeated the army of the Moab people-group. David forced their soldiers to lie down on the ground [close to each other]. His men killed two out of every three of them. The [other] Moab people [were forced to] accept David as their ruler, and they were forced to give to him [every year the] payment/tax [that he demanded].
Dan ia memukul kalah orang Moab, lalu sambil menyuruh mereka berbaring di tanah ia mengukur tempat mereka dengan tali; diukurnya dua kali panjang tali itu untuk mematikan dan satu tali penuh untuk membiarkan hidup. Maka orang Moab takluk kepada Daud dan harus mempersembahkan upeti.
3 David’s army also defeated [the army of] Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, who ruled [the state of] Zobah [in Syria]. That happened when David went to rule again over the area at [the upper part of] the Euphrates River.
Selanjutnya Daud memukul kalah Hadadezer bin Rehob, raja Zoba, ketika ia pergi memulihkan kekuasaannya pada sungai Efrat.
4 David’s army captured 1,700 of Hadadezer’s soldiers who rode on horses, and 20,000 of his other soldiers. They also crippled/hamstrung most of the horses that pulled the chariots, but they left/spared enough horses to [pull] 100 chariots.
Daud menawan dari padanya seribu tujuh ratus orang pasukan berkuda dan dua puluh ribu orang pasukan berjalan kaki, lalu Daud menyuruh memotong urat keting segala kuda kereta, tetapi dengan meninggalkan seratus ekor kuda kereta.
5 When [the army of] Syria came from Damascus [city] to help King Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.
Lalu orang Aram dari Damsyik datang menolong Hadadezer, raja Zoba, tetapi dari antara orang Aram itu Daud menewaskan dua puluh dua ribu orang.
6 Then David stationed (groups of his soldiers/army camps) in their area, and the people of Syria were forced to accept David as their ruler, and to give to David’s government [every year] the payment/tax that he demanded. And Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win victories wherever they went.
Kemudian Daud menempatkan pasukan-pasukan pendudukan di daerah orang Aram dari Damsyik. Orang Aram itu takluk kepada Daud dan harus mempersembahkan upeti. TUHAN memberi kemenangan kepada Daud ke manapun ia pergi berperang.
7 David’s soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by Hadadezer’s officials, and brought them to Jerusalem.
Sesudah itu Daud mengangkut perisai-perisai emas yang dipakai oleh anak buah Hadadezer, lalu membawanya ke Yerusalem.
8 They also brought [to Jerusalem] a lot of bronze [that they found] in Betah and Berothai, two cities that King Hadadezer [had previously] ruled.
Dan dari Betah dan dari Berotai, yaitu kota-kotanya Hadadezer, raja Daud mengangkut amat banyak tembaga.
9 When Toi, the king of the Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
Ketika didengar Tou, raja Hamat, bahwa Daud telah memukul kalah seluruh tentara Hadadezer,
10 he sent his son Joram to greet King David and to (congratulate him/say that he was happy) about his army defeating Hadadezer’s army, which Toi’s [army] had fought many times. Joram brought to David many items/gifts made from gold, silver, and bronze.
maka Tou mengutus Yoram, anaknya, kepada raja Daud untuk menyampaikan salam dan mengucapkan selamat kepadanya, karena ia telah berperang melawan Hadadezer dan memukul dia kalah, sebab Hadadezer sering memerangi Tou. Dan Yoram membawa barang-barang perak, emas dan tembaga.
11 King David dedicated all those items to Yahweh. He also dedicated the silver and gold which his army had taken from the nations that they had conquered.
Juga barang-barang ini dikhususkan raja Daud bagi TUHAN, bersama-sama perak dan emas yang berasal dari segala bangsa yang ditaklukkannya,
12 They had taken items from the Edom people-group and the Moab people-group, from the Ammon people-group, from the Philistia people, and from [the descendants of] Amalek, as well as from the people that Hadadezer [previously] ruled.
yakni perak dan emas dari orang Aram, dari orang Moab, dari bani Amon, dari orang Filistin, dari orang Amalek, dan dari jarahan yang dirampas dari Hadadezer bin Rehob, raja Zoba.
13 When David returned [after defeating the armies of Syria], he became more famous because his army killed 18,000 soldiers from the Edom people-group in the Salt Valley [near the Dead Sea].
Demikianlah Daud mendapat nama, dan ketika ia pulang, ia menewaskan delapan belas ribu orang Edom di Lembah Asin.
14 David stationed (groups of his soldiers/army camps) throughout the Edom area, and forced the people there to accept him as their king. Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win battles wherever they went.
Lalu ia menempatkan pasukan-pasukan pendudukan di Edom; di seluruh Edom ditempatkannya pasukan-pasukan pendudukan, sehingga seluruh Edom diperbudak oleh Daud. TUHAN memberi kemenangan kepada Daud ke manapun ia pergi berperang.
15 David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was fair and just.
Demikianlah Daud telah memerintah atas seluruh Israel, dan menegakkan keadilan dan kebenaran bagi seluruh bangsanya.
16 Joab was the army commander; Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the man who reported to the people everything that David decided that they should do;
Yoab, anak Zeruya, menjadi panglima; Yosafat bin Ahilud menjadi bendahara negara;
17 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the priests; Seraiah was the official secretary;
Zadok bin Ahitub dan Ahimelekh bin Abyatar menjadi imam; Seraya menjadi panitera negara;
18 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was the commander of (David’s bodyguards/the men who protected the king); and David’s sons were priests (OR, his administrators/advisors).
Benaya bin Yoyada menjadi panglima orang Kreti dan orang Pleti; dan anak-anak Daud menjadi imam.
