1 Chronicles 18
1 After this it came about that David attacked the Philistines and defeated them. He took Gath and its villages out of the Philistines' control.
Baada ya haya Daudi akawashambulia Wafilisti na kuwashinda. Alichukuwa Gathi na vijiji vyake katika utawala wa Wafilisti.
2 Then he defeated Moab, and the Moabites became servants to David and paid him tribute.
Kisha akamshinda Moabu, na Wamoabu wakawa watumishi wa Daudi na wakamlipa ushuru maalumu.
3 David then defeated Hadadezer, king of Zobah at Hamath, as Hadadezer was traveling to establish his rule by the Euphrates River.
Daudi kisha akamshinda Hadadezeri, mfalme wa Zoba huko Hamathi, wakati Hadadezeri alipo kuwa akisafiri kuimarisha utawala wake kwa Mto wa Frati.
4 David captured from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen. David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them for a hundred chariots.
Daudi akateka magari ya farasi elfu, wanaume wa farasi elfu saba, na wanajeshi wa miguu elfu ishirini. Daudi aliwajeruhi farasi wote wagari, lakini akahifadhi baadhi kwa ajili ya magari ya farasi mia moja.
5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand Aramean men.
Waaramia wa Damasko walipo kuja kumsaidia Hadadezeri mfalme wa Zoba, Daudi aliua wanaume elfu ishirini na mbili wa Kiaramia.
6 Then David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became servants to him and brought him tribute. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.
Kisha Daudi akaweka vikosi huko Aramu ya Damasko, na Waaramia wakawa watumishi wake na wakamletea ushuru maalaumu. Yahweh alimpatia Daudi ushindi popote alipoenda.
7 David took the golden shields that were on Hadadezer's servants and brought them to Jerusalem.
Daudi alichukua ngao za dhahabu zilizo kuwa kwa watumishi wa Hadadezeri na kuleta Yerusalemu.
8 From Tebah and Kun, cities of Hadadezer, David took very much bronze. It was with this bronze that Solomon later made the bronze basin called “The Sea,” the pillars, and the bronze equipment.
Kutoka Tibhathi na Kuni, miji ya Hadadezeri, Daudi alichukuwa shaba nyingi sana. Ilikuwa shaba hii ambayo baadae Sulemani alifanya saani ya shaba, nguzo, na vifaa vya shaba.
9 When Tou, king of Hamath, heard that David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,
Wakati Toi, mfalme wa Hamathi, alipo sikia kuwa Daudi ameshinda majeshi yote ya Hadadezeri mfalme wa Zoba,
10 and so Tou sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him. He did this because David had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him, and because Tou had often been at war with Hadadezer. Tou also sent David many different sorts of articles made of gold and silver and bronze.
Toi akamtuma Hadoramu mwanae kwa Mfalme Daudi kumsalimia na kumbariki, kwasababu Daudi amepigana na Hadadezeri na kumshinda, na kwasababu Hadadezeri alifanya vita na Toi. Hadoramu alipeleka vifaa vya fedha, dhahabu, na shaba.
11 King David set these objects apart to Yahweh, together with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations: Edom, Moab, the people of Ammon, the Philistines, and Amalek.
Mfalme Daudi alivitenga hivi vitu kwa ajili ya Yahweh, pamoja na fedha na dhahabu aliyo ibeba kutoka kwa mataifa yote: Edomu, Moabu, watu wa Amoni, Wafilisti, na Waamaleki.
12 Abishai son of Zeruiah killed eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
Abishai mwana wa Zeruia akawaua Waedomi elfu kumi na nane katika Bonde la Chumvi.
13 He placed garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became David's servants. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.
Alieka vikosi huko Edomu, na Waedomi wote wakawa watumishi wa Daudi. Yahweh alimpa Daudi ushindi pote alipoenda.
14 David reigned over all Israel, and he administered justice and righteousness to all his people.
Daudi alitawala Israeli yote, na alitenda haki na utaua kwa watu wote.
15 Joab son of Zeruiah was the commander of the army, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was recorder.
Yoabu mwana wa Zeruia walikuwa mkuu wa jeshi, na Yehoshafati mwana wa Ahiludi alikuwa mtunza kumbukumbu.
16 Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests, and Shavsha was scribe.
Zadoki mwana wa Ahitubi na Ahimeleki mwana wa Abiathari walikuwa makuhani, na Shavisha alikuwa mwandishi.
17 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Kerethites and Pelethites, and David's sons were the chief officials at the hand of the king.
Benaia mwana wa Yehoiada alikuwa mwangalizi wa Wakerethi na Wapelethi, na wana wa Daudi walikuwa washauri wakuu wa mfalme.
