1 Chronicles 18
1 After this, David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and took Gath and its towns out of the hand of the Philistines.
Patapita nthawi, Davide anagonjetsa Afilisti ndipo anakhala pansi pa ulamuliro wake. Iye analanda Gati ndi midzi yake yozungulira mʼmanja mwa Afilistiwo.
2 He defeated Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David and brought tribute.
Davide anagonjetsanso Amowabu, nakhala pansi pa ulamuliro wake ndipo ankapereka msonkho kwa iye.
3 David defeated Hadadezer king of Zobah, towards Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
Komanso Davide anagonjetsa Hadadezeri mfumu ya Zoba, mpaka ku Hamati, pamene anapita kukakhazikitsa ulamuliro wake mʼmbali mwa mtsinje wa Yufurate.
4 David took from him one thousand chariots, seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen; and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them enough for one hundred chariots.
Davide analanda magaleta 1,000, anthu okwera magaleta 7,000 pamodzi ndi asilikali oyenda pansi 20,000. Iye anadula mitsempha ya akavalo onse okoka magaleta, koma anasiyapo akavalo 100 okha.
5 When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck twenty-two thousand men of the Syrians.
Aramu wa ku Damasiko atabwera kudzathandiza Hadadezeri mfumu ya ku Zoba, Davide anakantha asilikali 22,000.
6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David and brought tribute. The LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.
Iye anakhazikitsa maboma mu ufumu wa Aramu wa ku Damasiko, ndipo Aaramu anakhala pansi pa ulamuliro wake ndipo ankapereka msonkho. Yehova ankamupatsa chipambano Davide kulikonse kumene ankapita.
7 David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
Davide anatenga zishango zagolide zimene ankanyamula akuluakulu ankhondo a Hadadezeri ndi kubwera nazo ku Yerusalemu.
8 From Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David took very much bronze, with which Solomon made the bronze sea, the pillars, and the vessels of bronze.
Kuchokera ku Teba ndi Kuni, mizinda ya Hadadezeri, Davide anatengako mkuwa wambiri umene Solomoni anapangira chimbiya, zipilala ndi zida zosiyanasiyana zamkuwa.
9 When Tou king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,
Tou, mfumu ya Hamati atamva kuti Davide wagonjetsa gulu lonse lankhondo la Hadadezeri mfumu ya Zoba,
10 he sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him (for Hadadezer had wars with Tou); and he had with him all kinds of vessels of gold and silver and bronze.
anatumiza mwana wake Hadoramu kwa mfumu Davide kukamulonjera ndi kukamuyamikira chifukwa cha kupambana kwake pa nkhondo yake ndi Hadadezeriyo, amene analinso pa nkhondo ndi Tou. Hadoramu anabweretsa ziwiya zosiyanasiyana zagolide, zasiliva ndi zamkuwa.
11 King David also dedicated these to the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations: from Edom, from Moab, from the children of Ammon, from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
Mfumu Davide inapereka zinthu zimenezi kwa Yehova, monga anachitira ndi siliva ndi golide zochokera ku mayiko ena onse monga Edomu ndi Mowabu, Aamoni ndi Afilisti, ndi Aamaleki.
12 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah struck eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
Abisai mwana wa Zeruya anakantha Aedomu 18,000 mu Chigwa cha Mchere.
13 He put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. The LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.
Iye anayika maboma ku Edomu, ndipo Aedomu onse anakhala pansi pa Davide. Yehova ankapambanitsa Davide kulikonse kumene ankapita.
14 David reigned over all Israel; and he executed justice and righteousness for all his people.
Davide analamulira dziko lonse la Israeli ndipo ankachita zonse mwachilungamo ndi molondola pamaso pa anthu ake onse.
15 Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
Yowabu, mwana wa Zeruya anali mkulu wa ankhondo; Yehosafati mwana wa Ahiludi anali mlembi wa zochitika;
16 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Abimelech the son of Abiathar were priests; Shavsha was scribe;
Zadoki, mwana wa Ahitubi ndi Ahimeleki mwana wa Abiatara anali ansembe; Savisa anali mlembi;
17 and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief officials serving the king.
Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada anali mtsogoleri wa Akereti ndi Apeleti, ndipo ana a Davide anali alangizi a mfumu.
