2 Samuel 8
1 Forsothe it was doon aftir these thingis, Dauid smoot Filisteis, and made low hem; and Dauid took awei the bridil of tribute fro the hond of Filisteis.
此後，達味攻打培肋舍特人，將他們克服，由他們手中奪得了京城的治權。
2 And Dauid smoot Moab, and mat hem with a coorde, and made euene to the erthe; forsothe `he mat twey cordis, oon to sle, and oon to quikene. And Moab seruyde Dauid vndur tribute.
他也打敗了摩阿布人，叫他們躺在地上，用繩子來量，兩繩子內的人處死，一繩內的人生存；如此，摩阿布人遂臣服達味，給他納貢。
3 And Dauid smoot Adadezer, sone of Roob, kyng of Soba, whanne he yede forth to be lord ouer the flood Eufrates.
當勒曷布的兒子，祚巴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 whanne a thousynde and seuene hundrid kniytis of his part weren takun, and twenti thousynde of foot men, Dauid hoxide alle `drawynge beestis in charis; but Dauid lefte of tho an hundrid charis, that is, the horsis of an hundrid charis.
擄獲了他的馬兵一千七百，步兵兩萬，割斷了所有拉戰車的馬蹄筋，只留下了足以拉一百輛車的馬。
5 Also Sirie of Damask cam, that it schulde bere help to Adadezer, kyng of Soba; and Dauid smoot of Sirie two and twenti thousynde of men.
後有大馬士革的阿蘭人，
6 And Dauid settide strengthe in Sirie of Damask, and Sirie was maad seruynge Dauid vndur tribute. And the Lord kepte Dauid in alle thingis, to what euer thingis he yede forth.
達味遂在大馬士革阿蘭屯兵駐守，阿蘭也臣服於達味，給他進貢。達味無論往那裏去，上主總是輔助他。
7 And Dauid took goldun armeris and bies, whiche the seruauntis of Adadezer hadden, and he brouyte tho in 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 And of Bethe, and of Beroth, citees of Adadezer, Dauith the kyng took ful myche metal; `of the whiche Salomon made alle the brasen vessels in the temple, and the brasen see, and the pilers, and the auter.
達味王又由貝塔和貝洛泰，哈達德則爾的兩座城內，奪取了大量的銅。
9 Forsothe Thou, kyng of Emath, herde that Dauid hadde smyte al the strengthe of Adadezer.
當哈瑪特王托烏，聽說達味打敗了哈達德則爾，
10 And Thou sente Joram, his sone, to `kyng Dauid, that he schulde grete hym, and thanke, and do thankyngis, for he hadde ouercome Adadezer, and hadde smyte hym; for Thou was enemy to Adadeser; and vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bras weren in his hond.
便派自己的兒子哈多蘭到達味王那裏，向他致敬，祝賀他攻打了哈達德則爾，並將他打敗，因為哈達德則爾原是托烏的敵人。哈多蘭帶來了一些金器銀器和銅器。
11 And the same vessels kyng Dauid halewid `to the Lord, with the siluer and gold, whiche he hadde halewid of alle hethene men, whiche `hethene men he made suget of Sirye,
達味也把這一切金銀，和他從所征服的民族：
12 and Moab, and the sones of Amon, and Filisteis, and Amalech, and of the spuylis of Adadezer, sone of Roob, kyng of Soba.
即阿蘭、摩阿布、阿孟子民、培肋舍特人、阿瑪肋克和祚爾王勒曷布之子哈達德則爾的戰利品中所得，且已奉獻了的金銀，一同獻給了上主。
13 Also Dauid made to hym a name, whanne he turnede ayen, whanne Sirie was takun, for eiytene thousynde weren slayn in the valey, where salt is maad, and in Gebelem, to thre and twenti thousynde.
達味戰勝阿蘭人歸來時，在鹽谷又擊殺了一萬八千厄東人，他的聲譽就更大了。
14 And he settide keperis in Ydumee, and ordeinede strong hold, and al Ydumee was maad seruynge to Dauid; and the Lord kepte Dauid in alle thingis, to whateuer thingis he yede forth.
他遂屯兵厄東，全厄東都臣服了達味；達味無論往那裏去，上主總是輔助他。
15 And Dauid regnede on al Israel, and Dauid dide doom, and riytfulnesse to al his puple.
達味統治了全以色列，對自己所有的人民秉公行義。
16 Forsothe Joab, the sone of Saruy, was ouer the oost; sotheli Josaphat, sone of Achilud, was chaunceler; and Sadoch,
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後御史。
17 sone of Achitob, and Achymelech, sone of Abiathar, weren preestis; and Saraye was scryuyn.
阿希突布的兒子匝多克及阿希默肋客的兒子厄貝雅塔爾作司祭，沙委沙作秘書，
18 Forsothe Bananye, sone of Joiada, was ouer Cerethi and Pherethi, that is, ouer archeris and arblasteris; sotheli the sones of Dauid weren prestis.
約雅達的兒子貝納雅管理革勒提和培肋提人；達味的兒子也作司祭。
