1 Chronicles 18
1 Now after this it came to pass that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and its towns out of the hand of the Philistines.
[達味的武功]此後，達味攻打培肋舍特人，將他們克服，由培肋舍特人手中，奪取了加特城及所屬村鎮。
2 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, [and] brought gifts.
以後打敗了摩阿布，摩阿布人也臣屬於達味，給他進貢。
3 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah to Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
當祚巴哈瑪特王哈達德則爾向幼發拉的河伸展自己的勢力時，達味也打敗了他，
4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also houghed all the chariot -[horses], but reserved of them a hundred chariots.
擄獲了他的車輛一千，騎兵七千，步兵兩萬；達味割斷了所有拉戰車的馬蹄筋，只留下足以拉一百輛車的馬。
5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
後有大馬士革的阿蘭人，來援助祚巴王哈達德則爾，達味擊殺了兩萬二千阿蘭人。
6 Then David put [garrisons] in Syria-damascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, [and] brought gifts. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
達味遂在大馬士革阿蘭屯兵駐守，阿蘭也臣屬於達味，給他進貢；達味無論往那裏去，上主總使他獲勝。
7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
達味奪了哈達德則爾臣僕所帶的金盾牌，送到耶路撒冷。
8 Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, David brought very much brass, with which Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
達味又由貝塔和貢，哈達德則爾的兩座城內，奪取了大量的銅；以後撒羅滿用來作銅海、圓柱及銅器。
9 Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;
哈瑪特王托烏，聽說達味打敗了祚巴王哈達德則爾所有的軍隊，
10 He sent Hadoram his son to king David to inquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had warred with Tou; ) and [with him] all manner of vessels of gold, and silver, and brass.
便派自己的兒子哈多蘭到達味王那裏向他致敬，祝賀他打敗了哈達德則爾，因哈達德則爾原是托烏的敵人；他還送來了各種金、銀、銅器。
11 Them also king David dedicated to the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all [these] nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
達味王也將這些，連同那些由各民族，即厄東、摩阿布、阿孟子民、培肋舍特人、阿瑪肋克人所得來的金銀，一起奉獻給上主。
12 Moreover, Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.
責魯雅的兒子阿彼瑟在鹽谷擊殺了一萬八千厄東人後，
13 And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David's servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
達味遂又屯兵厄東，厄東人全臣屬於達味。達味無論往那裏去，上主總使他獲勝。[重要的朝臣]
14 So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.
達味作了全以色列的君王，對自己所有的人民秉公行義。
15 And Joab the son of Zeruiah [was] over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder;
責魯雅的兒子約阿布統領軍隊，阿希路得的兒子約沙法特為御史，
16 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, [were] the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;
阿希托布的兒子匝多克和厄貝雅塔爾的兒子阿希默肋客任司祭，沙委沙為秘書，
17 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was] over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David [were] chief about the king.
約雅達的兒子貝納雅管理革勒提與培肋提人，達味的兒子們在君王左右為輔相。
