1 Chronicles 20
1 It came about in the springtime, at the time when kings normally go to war, that Joab led the army into battle and devastated the land of the Ammonites. He went and besieged Rabbah. David remained in Jerusalem. Joab attacked Rabbah and defeated it.
Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ya kĩmera yakinya, ihinda rĩrĩa athamaki maathiiaga mbaara, Joabu agĩtongoria mbũtũ cia ita. Nake akĩananga bũrũri wa Aamoni, na agĩthiĩ Raba akĩrĩrigiicĩria, no Daudi agĩtigwo Jerusalemu. Joabu agĩtharĩkĩra Raba agĩtiga aarĩananga.
2 David took the crown of their king from off his head, and he found that it weighed a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones. The crown was set on David's head, and he brought out the plunder of the city in large quantities.
Daudi akĩruta mũthamaki wao thũmbĩ mũtwe, nayo yarĩ na ũritũ wa taranda ĩmwe ya thahabu, na nĩyagemetio na tũhiga twa goro, nayo ĩkĩigĩrĩrwo mũtwe wa Daudi. Nake agĩtaha indo nyingĩ mũno kuuma itũũra rĩu inene,
3 He brought out the people who were in the city and forced them to work with saws and iron picks and axes. David required all the cities of the people of Ammon to do this labor. Then David and all the army returned to Jerusalem.
na akĩrutũrũra aikari akuo, akĩmahe wĩra wa gwatũra mbaũ na mĩthumeno, na kũruta wĩra na harũ cia igera na mathanwa. Ũguo nĩguo Daudi eekire matũũra mothe ma Amoni. Thuutha ũcio Daudi na mbũtũ ciake ciothe cia ita magĩcooka Jerusalemu.
4 It came about after this that there was a battle at Gezer with the Philistines. Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the Rephaim, and the Philistines were subdued.
Mahinda macio-rĩ, gũkĩgĩa mbaara ya kũrũa na Afilisti kũu Gezeri. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Sibekai ũrĩa Mũhushathi akĩũraga Sipai, ũmwe wa njiaro cia Refai, nao Afilisti magĩtoorio biũ.
5 It came about again in a battle with the Philistines at Gob, that Elhanan son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed Lahmi brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
Mbaara-inĩ ĩngĩ makĩrũa na Afilisti, nake Elihanani mũrũ wa Jairu akĩũraga Lahami mũrũ wa nyina na Goliathũ, ũrĩa Mũgiiti, ũrĩa warĩ na itimũ rĩarĩ na mũtĩ waiganaga ta mũtĩ wa mũtumi ngoora.
6 It came about in another battle at Gath that there was a man of great height who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He also was descended from the Rephaim.
Ningĩ mbaara-inĩ ĩngĩ ĩrĩa yarũĩirwo Gathu, kwarĩ na mũndũ mũnene mũno, warĩ na ciara ithathatũ o guoko, na ciara ithathatũ o kũgũrũ, ciothe ciarĩ ciara mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na inya. O nake aarĩ wa rũciaro rwa Rafa.
7 When he mocked the army of Israel, Jehonadab son of Shimea, David's brother, killed him.
Rĩrĩa aanyũrũririe andũ a Isiraeli, Jonathani mũrũ wa Shimea, mũrũ wa nyina na Daudi, akĩmũũraga.
8 These were descendants of the Rephaim of Gath, and they were killed by the hand of David and by the hand of his soldiers.
Acio nĩo maarĩ a rũciaro rwa Rafa wa kũu Gathu, nao makĩũragwo nĩ Daudi na andũ ake.
