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.
Baada ya haya Daudi akawashambulia Wafilisti na kuwashinda. Alichukuwa Gathi na vijiji vyake katika utawala wa Wafilisti.
2 He defeated Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David and brought tribute.
Kisha akamshinda Moabu, na Wamoabu wakawa watumishi wa Daudi na wakamlipa ushuru maalumu.
3 David defeated Hadadezer king of Zobah, towards Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
Daudi kisha akamshinda Hadadezeri, mfalme wa Zoba huko Hamathi, wakati Hadadezeri alipo kuwa akisafiri kuimarisha utawala wake kwa Mto wa Frati.
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.
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 Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck twenty-two thousand men of the Syrians.
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 Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David and brought tribute. The LORD 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 shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
Daudi alichukua ngao za dhahabu zilizo kuwa kwa watumishi wa Hadadezeri na kuleta 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.
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 struck 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 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.
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 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.
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 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah struck eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
Abishai mwana wa Zeruia akawaua Waedomi elfu kumi na nane katika Bonde la Chumvi.
13 He put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. The LORD 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 executed justice and righteousness for all his people.
Daudi alitawala Israeli yote, na alitenda haki na utaua kwa watu wote.
15 Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
Yoabu mwana wa Zeruia walikuwa mkuu wa jeshi, na Yehoshafati mwana wa Ahiludi alikuwa mtunza kumbukumbu.
16 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Abimelech the son of Abiathar were priests; Shavsha was scribe;
Zadoki mwana wa Ahitubi na Ahimeleki mwana wa Abiathari walikuwa makuhani, na Shavisha alikuwa mwandishi.
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.
Benaia mwana wa Yehoiada alikuwa mwangalizi wa Wakerethi na Wapelethi, na wana wa Daudi walikuwa washauri wakuu wa mfalme.
