And it canto to pass, after this, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, —and took Gath and her villages, out of the hand of the Philistines.

2 David ɖu Moabtɔwo hã dzi, wozu etenɔlawo eye woxea adzɔga nɛ.

And he smote Moab, —and the Moabites became servants to David, bearers of a present.

3 Eɖu Zoba fia, Hadadezer ƒe duwo dzi yi Hamat ke le esime wòyi be yeaɖo yeƒe fiaɖuƒe anyi le Frat tɔsisi la to.

And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah, towards Hamath, —as he went to establish his hold of the river Euphrates.

4 David lé sɔdola akpe adre kple afɔzɔla akpe blaeve, etu ata na sɔawo katã negbe wo dometɔ alafa ɖeka ko.

And David captured from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, —and David destroyed all the chariots, saving that he reserved from them a hundred chariots.

5 Esi Aramtɔwo tso Damasko va be yewoakpe ɖe Zoba fia Hadadezer ŋu la, David wu wo dometɔ akpe blaeve-vɔ-eve

And, when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David smote of the Syrians, twenty-two thousand men.

6 eye wòda asrafo aɖewo ɖe Aram le Damasko, si nye Aramtɔwo ƒe fiadu la me. Ale Aramtɔwo zu David tenɔlawo eye wodzɔa adzɔga nɛ ƒe sia ƒe. Ale Yehowa na David ɖua dzi le afi sia afi si wòyi.

And David put [garrisons] in Syria of Damascus, and so it was that the Syrians became, David’s, servants, bearers of a present, —so Yahweh gave victory to David, whithersoever he went.

7 David tsɔ Fia Hadadezer ƒe aʋakɔwo ƒe amegãwo ƒe sikakpoxɔnuwo va Yerusalem,

And David took the shields of gold, that were upon the servants of Hadarezer, —and brought them to Jerusalem;

8 kpe ɖe akɔbli geɖe tso Hadadezer ƒe du siwo nye Teba kple Kun la me la ŋu. Emegbe la, Fia Solomo lolo akɔbli la eye wòtsɔe wɔ gbedoxɔ la ƒe akɔbligazɔ kple akɔblisɔtiwo kple akɔblinu siwo ŋu dɔ wowɔna ne wole vɔ sam le vɔsamlekpui la dzi.

also, from Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadarezer, David took very much bronze, —therewith, did Solomon make the sea of bronze, and the pillars, and the vessels of bronze.

9 Esime Hamat fia Tou se be Fia David si Zoba fia Hadadezer ƒe aʋakɔ blibo la,

And, when Tou, king of Hamath, heard that David had smitten all the force of Hadarezer king of Zobah,

10 eɖo Via ŋutsu Hadoram ɖe Fia David gbɔ be wòado gbe nɛ, ada ŋkɔ ɖe edzi le eƒe dziɖuɖu ta eye wòatsɔ sika, klosalo kple akɔbli nɛ. Edi be yeawɔ ɖeka kple Fia David elabena eya kple Hadadezer nye futɔwo eye wowɔ aʋa geɖewo.

he sent Hadoram his son unto King David, to ask after his welfare, and to bless him, because he had made war against Hadarezer and had smitten him, for, a man making wars against Tou, had been Hadarezer, —and [he had with him] all manner of vessels of gold and silver and bronze;

11 Fia David kɔ nunana siawo kple klosalo kple sika si wòkpɔ tso Edomtɔwo, Moabtɔwo, Amonitɔwo, Amalekitɔwo kple Filistitɔwo gbɔ la ŋu na Yehowa.

them also, did King David hallow unto Yahweh, with the silver and the gold, that he bare away from all the nations, —from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

12 Abisai, Zeruya ƒe vi, wu Edomtɔ akpe wuienyi le Dze Balime.

Moreover, Abishai, son of Zeruiah, smote Edom, in the Valley of Salt, —eighteen thousand;

13 Eda asrafo aɖewo ɖe Edom eye Edomtɔwo zu David teviwo. Yehowa na wòɖua dzi le afi sia afi si wòayi.

and set, in Edom, garrisons, and all Edom became servants unto David, —and Yahweh gave David the victory, whithersoever he went.

14 David ɖu Israel blibo la dzi kple dzɔdzɔenyenye eye wòwɔ nyui na ame sia ame.

So David reigned over all Israel, —and he was executing justice and righteousness for all his people;

15 Yoab, Zeruya ƒe vi, nɔ aʋakɔ la nu. Yehosafat, Ahilud ƒe vi, nye fia ƒe tsiami.

and, Joab, son of Zeruiah, was over the army, —and, Jehoshaphat, son of Elihud, was recorder;

16 Zadok, Ahitub ƒe vi kple Ahimelek, Abiata ƒe vi nye nunɔlawo eye Sausa nye fia la ƒe nuŋlɔla.

and, Zadok, son of Ahitub, and Abimelech son of Abiathar, were priests, —and, Shavsha, was scribe;

and, Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, —and, the sons of David, were first, in attendance on the king.
