1 Chronicles 20
1 At the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, Joab led out the army and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. Joab struck Rabbah, and overthrew it.
Mwanzoni mwa mwaka mpya, wakati ambapo wafalme huenda vitani, Yoabu aliliongoza jeshi. Aliangamiza nchi ya Waamoni, na akaenda Raba na kuuzingira, lakini Daudi alibaki Yerusalemu. Yoabu akashambulia Raba na kuuacha ukiwa magofu.
2 David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it. It was set on David’s head, and he brought very much plunder out of the city.
Daudi akachukua taji kutoka kwa kichwa cha mfalme wao, lililokuwa na uzito wa talanta moja ya dhahabu, nayo ilizungushiwa vito vya thamani. Ikawekwa juu ya kichwa cha Daudi. Alichukua nyara nyingi kutoka mjini huo.
3 He brought out the people who were in it, and had them cut with saws, with iron picks, and with axes. David did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
Akawatoa watu waliokuwa humo, akawaweka wafanye kazi kwa misumeno, sululu za chuma na mashoka. Daudi akafanya hivi kwa miji yote ya Waamoni. Kisha Daudi na jeshi lake lote wakarudi Yerusalemu.
4 After this, war arose at Gezer with the Philistines. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, of the sons of the giant; and they were subdued.
Baada ya muda, kulitokea vita dhidi ya Wafilisti, huko Gezeri. Wakati huo Sibekai, Mhushathi, akamuua Sipai, aliyekuwa mmoja wa wazao wa Warefai, nao Wafilisti wakashindwa.
5 Again there was war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
Katika vita vingine na Wafilisti, Elhanani mwana wa Yairi alimuua Lahmi nduguye Goliathi, Mgiti, ambaye mkuki wake ulikuwa na mpini kama mti wa mfumaji.
6 There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six on each hand and six on each foot; and he also was born to the giant.
Katika vita vingine tena, vilivyopiganwa huko Gathi, kulikuwako na mtu mmoja mkubwa mwenye vidole sita katika kila mkono na vidole sita katika kila mguu: jumla vidole ishirini na vinne. Yeye alikuwa pia mzao wa Mrefai.
7 When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.
Alipowadhihaki Israeli, Yonathani, mwana wa Shimea, nduguye Daudi, akamuua.
8 These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
Hawa walikuwa ndio wazao wa Warefai huko Gathi, nao walianguka kwa mikono ya Daudi na watu wake.
