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.
| پس از چندی، باز داوود به فلسطینی‌ها حمله کرده، آنها را شکست داد و مِتِگ‌اَمّاه را از دستشان گرفت. |
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].
| داوود همچنین موآبی‌ها را شکست داده، اسیران را به ردیف در کنار هم روی زمین خوابانید؛ سپس از هر سه نفر دو نفر را کشت و یک نفر را زنده نگه داشت. بازماندگان موآبی تابع داوود شده، به او باج و خراج می‌دادند. |
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.
| در ضمن داوود نیروهای هددعزر (پسر رحوب)، پادشاه صوبه را در هم شکست، زیرا هددعزر می‌کوشید بار دیگر نواحی کنار رود فرات را به چنگ آورد. |
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.
| در این جنگ داوود هزار ارابه، هفت هزار سرباز سواره و بیست هزار سرباز پیاده را به اسیری گرفت، بعد صد اسب برای ارابه‌ها نگه داشته، رگ پای بقیهٔ اسبان را قطع کرد. |
5 When [the army of] Syria came from Damascus [city] to help King Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.
| او همچنین با بیست و دو هزار سرباز سوری که از دمشق برای کمک به هَدَدعَزَر آمده بودند جنگید و همهٔ آنها را کشت. |
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.
| داوود در دمشق چندین قرارگاه مستقر ساخت و مردم سوریه تابع داوود شده، به او باج و خراج می‌پرداختند. به این ترتیب داوود هر جا می‌رفت، خداوند او را پیروزی می‌بخشید. |
7 David’s soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by Hadadezer’s officials, and brought them to Jerusalem.
| داوود سپرهای طلای سرداران هددعزر را گرفته، به اورشلیم برد. |
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.
| در ضمن، او از طبح و بیروتای، شهرهای هددعزر، مقدار زیادی مفرغ گرفته، آنها را هم به اورشلیم برد. |
9 When Toi, the king of the Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
| توعو، پادشاه حمات، وقتی شنید که داوود بر لشکر هددعزر پیروز شده است، |
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.
| پسرش هدورام را فرستاد تا سلام وی را به او برساند و این پیروزی را به او تبریک بگوید، چون هددعزر و توعو با هم دشمن بودند. هدورام هدایایی از طلا و نقره و مفرغ به داوود داد. |
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.
| داوود، همهٔ این هدایا را با طلا و نقره‌ای که خود از ادومی‌ها، موآبی‌ها، عمونی‌ها، فلسطینی‌ها، عمالیقی‌ها و نیز از هددعزر پادشاه به غنیمت گرفته بود، وقف خداوند کرد. |
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.
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].
| داوود در درهٔ نمک با هجده هزار سرباز ادومی وارد جنگ شده، آنها را از بین برد. این پیروزی داوود به شهرت او افزود. |
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.
| سپس داوود در سراسر ادوم، قرارگاهها مستقر کرد و ادومی‌ها تابع او شدند. داوود به هر طرف می‌رفت، خداوند به او پیروزی می‌بخشید. |
15 David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was fair and just.
| داوود با عدل و انصاف بر اسرائیل حکومت می‌کرد. |
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;
| فرماندهٔ سپاه او، یوآب (پسر صرویه) و وقایع‌نگار او یهوشافاط (پسر اخیلود) بود. |
17 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the priests; Seraiah was the official secretary;
| صادوق (پسر اخیطوب) و اخیملک (پسر اَبیّاتار) هر دو کاهن بودند و سرایا کاتب بود. |
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).
| بنایا (پسر یهویاداع) فرماندهٔ محافظین دربار داوود بود. پسران داوود نیز در امور دربار به او کمک می‌کردند. |
