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.
At pagkatapos nito ay nangyari na sinaktan ni David ang mga Filisteo at mga pinasuko: at kinuha ni David ang Metheg-amma sa kamay ng mga Filisteo.
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].
At kaniyang sinaktan ang Moab, at sinukat niya sila ng tali, na pinahiga sila sa lupa; at kaniyang sinukat ng dalawang tali upang patayin, at ng isang buong tali upang buhayin. At ang mga Moabita ay naging mga alipin ni David, at nagsipagdala ng mga kaloob.
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.
Sinaktan din ni David si Hadadezer na anak ni Rehob, na hari sa Soba, habang siya'y yumayaon upang bawiin ang kaniyang pamumuno sa Ilog.
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.
At kinuha ni David sa kaniya ang isang libo at pitong daan na mangangabayo, at dalawang pung libo na naglalakad: at pinilayan ni David ang lahat ng mga kabayo ng mga karo, nguni't sa mga yaon ay nagtaan ng sa isang daang karo.
5 When [the army of] Syria came from Damascus [city] to help King Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.
At nang sumaklolo ang mga taga Siria sa Damasco kay Hadadezer na hari sa Soba, ay sinaktan ni David sa mga taga Siria ang dalawang pu't dalawang libong tao.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y naglagay si David ng mga pulutong sa Siria sa Damasco: at ang mga taga Siria ay nangaging mga alipin ni David, at nagsipagdala ng mga kaloob. At pinapagtagumpay ng Panginoon si David saan man siya pumaroon.
7 David’s soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by Hadadezer’s officials, and brought them to Jerusalem.
At kinuha ni David ang mga kalasag na ginto na nangasa lingkod ni Hadadezer, at dinala sa Jerusalem.
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.
At sa Beta at sa Berothai na mga bayan ni Hadadezer, ay kumuha ang haring si David ng lubhang maraming tanso.
9 When Toi, the king of the Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
Nang mabalitaan ni Toi na hari sa Hamath na sinaktan ni David ang buong hukbo ni 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.
Sinugo nga ni Toi si Joram na kaniyang anak sa haring David, upang bumati sa kaniya, at upang purihin siya, sapagka't siya'y nakipagdigma laban kay Hadadezer at sinaktan niya siya: sapagka't si Hadadezer ay nagkaroon ng mga pakikipagbaka kay Toi. At nagdala si Joram ng mga sisidlang pilak, at mga sisidlang ginto, at mga sisidlang tanso;
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.
Na itinalaga naman ni David sa Panginoon ang mga ito, na kasama ng pilak at ng ginto na kaniyang itinalaga na mula sa lahat ng mga bansa na kaniyang pinasuko;
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.
Sa Siria, at sa Moab, at sa mga anak ni Ammon, at sa mga Filisteo, at sa Amalec, at sa samsam kay Hadadezer na anak ni Rehob na hari sa Soba.
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].
At nabantog si David nang siya'y bumalik na mula sa pagsakit sa mga taga Siria sa Libis na Alat, sa makatuwid baga'y sa labing walong libong lalake.
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.
At naglagay siya ng mga pulutong sa Edom; sa buong Edom ay naglagay siya ng mga pulutong, at ang lahat na Idumeo ay nangaging alipin ni David. At pinapagtagumpay ng Panginoon si David saan man siya pumaroon.
15 David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was fair and just.
At naghari si David sa buong Israel; at iginawad ni David ang kahatulan at ang katuwiran sa kaniyang buong bayan.
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;
At si Joab na anak ni Sarvia ay nasa hukbo; at si Josaphat na anak ni Ahilud ay kasangguni:
17 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the priests; Seraiah was the official secretary;
At si Sadoc na anak ni Ahitub at si Ahimelech na anak ni Abiathar ay mga saserdote; at si Seraia ay kalihim;
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).
At si Benahia na anak ni Joiada ay nasa mga Ceretheo at sa mga Peletheo; at ang mga anak ni David ay mga pangulong tagapangasiwa.
