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.
І сталося по то́му, і побив Давид филисти́млян, і поконав їх. І взяв Давид ке́рму вла́ди з руки́ филисти́млян.
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].
І побив він Моава, і перемі́ряв їх шну́ром, поклав їх на зе́млю, — і відмі́ряв два шну́ри на побиття́, а повен шнур — на позоста́влення при житті. І стали моавитяни Давидовими рабами, які прино́сили йому дани́ну.
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.
І побив Давид Гадад'езера, сина Рехова, царя Цови, коли той ішов був віднови́ти вла́ду свою при рі́чці Ефра́ті.
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.
І здобу́в Давид від нього тисячу й сім сотень їздців та двадцять тисяч чоловіка пішого. А коням усіх тих колесни́ць Давид попідрі́зував жили, і позоста́вив із того сто колесни́ць.
5 When [the army of] Syria came from Damascus [city] to help King Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.
І прийшов Ара́м дама́ський, щоб допомогти Гадад'езерові, цареві Цови, та Давид побив в Арамі двадцять і дві тисячі чоловіка.
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.
І настанови́в Давид зало́ги в дама́ському Арамі, — і став Арам для Давида за рабів, що прино́сили данину йому, а Господь допомагав Давидові в усьому, де́ він ходив.
7 David’s soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by Hadadezer’s officials, and brought them to Jerusalem.
І забрав Давид золоті щити, що були в рабів Ґадад'езера, і приніс їх до Єрусалиму.
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.
А з Бетаху та з Беротаю, міст Гадад'езерових, цар Давид узяв дуже багато міді.
9 When Toi, the king of the Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
А коли почув Тоі, цар Хамоту, що Давид побив усе ві́йсько Гадад'езера,
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.
то Тоі послав свого сина Йора́ма до царя Давида, щоб повіта́ти його, та щоб поблагослови́ти його за те, що він за́вжди воював з Гадад'езером та побив його, бо Тоі воював проти Гадад'езера. А в руці його були́ речі золоті, і речі срібні, і речі мідяні.
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.
Тако́ж їх присвятив цар Давид Господеві ра́зом зо сріблом та золотом, що він присвятив був із за́браного в усіх наро́дів, яких він здобув:
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.
з Араму, і з Моаву, і з синів Аммона, і з филисти́млян, і з Амали́ка, і зо здо́бичі Гадад'езера, сина Рехова, царя Цови.
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].
І здобу́в Давид собі ім'я́, коли він вернувся з побиття́ вісімнадцяти тисяч Араму в Беґе-Мелах.
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.
І він поста́вив зало́ги в Едо́мі, — в усьому Едомі поставив зало́ги. І став увесь Едом за рабів для Давида. І допомагав Господь Давидові в усьому, де́ він ходив.
15 David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was fair and just.
І царював Давид над усім Ізраїлем, і чинив Давид суд та справедливість для всього наро́ду свого.
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;
А Йоав, син Церуї, був над ві́йськом, а Йосафа́т, син Ахілудів, був канцлером.
17 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the priests; Seraiah was the official secretary;
А Садо́к, син Ахітува, та Ахімелех, син Евіятара, були священики, Серая був писарем.
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).
А Беная, син Єгояди, був над Керетянином та над Пелетянином. А Давидові сини були нача́льниками царсько́го дво́ру.
