2 Samuel 8
1 After this it came about that David attacked the Philistines and defeated them. So David took Metheg Ammah from the control of the Philistines.
ikawa baada ya haya Daudi aliwashambulia Wafilisti na kuwashinda. Hivyo Daudi akaichukua Gathi na vijiji vyake kutoka katika mamlaka ya wafilisti.
2 Then he defeated Moab and measured their men with a line by making them lie down on the ground. He measured off two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. So the Moabites became servants to David and began to pay him tribute.
Kisha akaishinda Moabu na akawapima watu wake kwa mstari kwa kuwafanya walale chini juu ya ardhi. Alipima mistari miwili ya kuua, na mstari mmoja kamili kuwahifadhi hai. Hivyo Wamoabu wakawa watumishi wa Daudi na wakaanza kumlipa kodi.
3 David then defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, the king of Zobah, as Hadadezer was traveling to recover his rule by the Euphrates River.
Kisha Daudi akamshinda Hadadezeri mwana wa Rehobu, mfalme wa Soba, Hadadezeri aliposafiri kuurudisha ufalme wake katika mto Frati.
4 David captured from him 1,700 chariots and twenty thousand footmen. David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them for a hundred chariots.
Daudi aliteka magari 1, 700 ya farasi na askari ishirini elfu waendao kwa miguu. Daudi akawakata miguu farasi wa magari, lakini akahifadhi wakutosha magari mia moja.
5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand Aramean men.
Wakati Washami wa Dameski walipokuja kumsaidia Hadadeziri mfalme wa Soba, Daudi akaua katika Washami watu ishirini na mbili elfu.
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.
Daudi akaweka ngome huko Shamu ya Dameski, na Washami wakawa watumishi wake na wakaleta kodi. Yahwe akampa Daudi ushindi kila alikokwenda.
7 David took the golden shields that were on Hadadezer's servants and brought them to Jerusalem.
Daudi akachukua ngao za dhahabu walizokuwa nazo watumishi wa Hadadezeri naye akazileta Yerusalemu.
8 From Tebah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took very much bronze.
Mfalme Daudi akachukua shaba nyingi kutoka Beta na Berosai, miji ya Hadadezeri.
9 When Tou, king of Hamath, heard that David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer,
Wakati Tou, mfalme wa Hamathi, aliposikia kwamba Daudi amelishinda jeshi lote la Hadadezeri,
10 Tou sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him, because David had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him, and because Hadadezer had waged war against Tou. Hadoram brought with himself objects of silver, gold, and bronze.
Tou akamtuma Hadoramu mwanawe kwa mfalme Daudi kumpa salamu na kumbariki, kwa kuwa Daudi alikuwa amepigana na Hadadezeri na kumshinda, maana Hadadezeri alikuwa amepiga vita dhidi ya Tou. Hadoramu akaja pamoja na vitu vya fedha, dhahabu, na shaba.
11 King David set aside these objects to Yahweh, together with the silver and gold from all the nations that he conquered—
Mfalme Daudi akaviweka wakfu vitu hivi kwa ajili ya Yahwe, pamoja na fedha na dhahabu kutoka katika mataifa yote aliyokuwa ameyashinda-
12 from Aram, Moab, the people of Ammon, the Philistines, and Amalek, along with all of the plundered goods of Hadadezer son of Rehob, the king of Zobah.
kutoka Shamu, Moabu, Waamoni, Wafilist, Waamaleki, pamoja na nyara zote alizoziteka kutoka kwa Hadadezeri mwana wa Rehobu, mfalme wa Soba.
13 David's name was well known when he returned from conquering the Arameans in the Valley of Salt, with their eighteen thousand men.
Jina la Daudi likajulikana sana alipowashinda washami katika bonde la Chumvi, pamoja na watu wao wapatao elfu kumi na nane.
14 He placed garrisons throughout all of Edom, and all the Edomites became servants to him. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.
Akaweka ngome katika Edomu yote, na Waedomu wote wakawa watumishi wake. Yahwe akampa Daudi ushindi kila alipokwenda.
15 David reigned over all Israel, and he administered justice and righteousness to all his people.
Daudi akatawala juu ya Israeli yote, naye akatenda kwa haki na usawa kwa watu wote.
16 Joab son of Zeruiah was the commander of the army, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was recorder.
Yoabu mwana wa Seruya alikuwa mkuu wa jeshi, na Yehoshafati mwana wa Ahiludi alikuwa mwenye kuandika taarifa.
17 Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests, and Seraiah was scribe.
Sadoki mwana wa Ahitubu na Ahimeleki mwana wa Abiathari walikuwa makuhani, na Seraya alikuwa mwandishi.
