Samuel 2 8
1 Le esia megbe la, David ɖu Filistitɔwo dzi eye wòbɔbɔ wo ɖe anyi to woƒe du Meteg Ama xɔxɔ me.
And it came to pass after this that David defeated the Philistines, and brought them down, and David took the bridle of tribute out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 Eɖu Moabtɔwo hã dzi eye wòna Moabtɔwo mlɔ anyi ɖe wo nɔewo xa le fliwo me. Etsɔ dzidzeka dzidze wo eye wòma wo ɖe akpa etɔ̃ me. Ewu ameawo ƒe akpa eve, ena akpa etɔ̃lia me tɔwo zu eƒe subɔlawo eye wòna wodzɔa nu nɛ ƒe sia ƒe.
And he defeated Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the earth: and he measured with two lines, one to put to death, and one to save alive: and Moab was made to serve David under tribute.
3 Eɖu Zoba fia Hadadezer, Rehob ƒe vi dzi le esime wòva be yeaɖo yeƒe fiaɖuƒe anyi ɖe Frat tɔsisi la to.
David defeated also Adarezer the son of Rohob king of Soba, when he went to extend his dominion over the river Euphrates.
4 David lé sɔdola akpe wuiadre kple afɔzɔla akpe blaeve, etu ata na sɔawo katã negbe wo dometɔ alafa ɖeka ko.
And David took from him a thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and houghed all the chariot horses: and only reserved of them for one 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 the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Adarezer the king of Soba: and David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
6 David da asrafo aɖewo ɖe 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 wòayi.
And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and Syria served David under tribute: and the Lord preserved David in all his enterprises, whithersoever he went.
7 David tsɔ sikakpoxɔnu siwo ŋu dɔ Fia Hadadezer ƒe aʋakɔwo wɔ la va Yerusalem.
And David took the arms of gold, which the servants of Adarezer wore, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Etsɔ akɔbli gbogbo aɖe hã tso Teba kple Berotai siwo nye Fia Hadadezer ƒe du gãwo la me yi Yerusalem.
And out of Bete, and out of Beroth, cities of Adarezer, king David took an exceeding great quantity of brass.
9 Esi Hamat fia, Tɔi, se ale si David si fia Hadadezer ƒe aʋakɔ blibo la,
And Thou the king of Emath heard that David had defeated all the forces of Adarezer.
10 eɖo Via ŋutsu Yoram ɖe David gbɔ be wòado gbe nɛ, akafui le esi wòwɔ aʋa kple Hadadezer eye wòsii la ta, vevietɔ, esi Tɔi kple Hadadezer nye futɔwo ta. Tɔi ɖo nu siwo wowɔ kple klosalo, sika kple akɔbli la ɖe David.
And Thou sent Joram his son to king David, to salute him, and to congratulate with him, and to return him thanks: because he had fought against Adarezer, and had defeated him. For Thou was an enemy to Adarezer, and in his hand were vessels of gold, and vessels of silver, and vessels of brass:
11 Fia David kɔ nunana siawo katã ŋu na Yehowa, abe ale si wòwɔ kple klosalo kple sika si wòxɔ tso dukɔ siwo katã dzi wòɖu gbɔ,
And king David dedicated them to the Lord, together with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all the nations, which he had subdued:
12 tso Edom kple Moab, Amonitɔwo kple Filistitɔwo kple Amalekitɔwo gbɔ ene. Ekɔ nu siwo wòha tso Hadadezer, Rehob ƒe vi, Zoba fia hã gbɔ la ŋu na Yehowa.
Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalec, and of the spoils of Adarezer the son of Rohob king of Soba.
13 Ale David ƒe ŋkɔ ɖi hoo. Esi wòtrɔ gbɔ la, ewu Siriatɔ akpe wuienyi le Dze Balime
David also made himself a name, when he returned after taking Syria in the valley of the saltpits, killing eighteen thousand:
14 eye wòda asrafo aɖewo ɖe Edom ƒe teƒe ɖe sia ɖe. Ale Edomtɔwo zu David teviwo. Yehowa na wòɖua dzi le afi sia afi si wòayi.
And he put guards in Edom, and placed there a garrison: and all Edom was made to serve David: and the Lord preserved David in all enterprises he went about.
15 David ɖu Israel blibo la dzi kple dzɔdzɔenyenye eye wòwɔ nyui na ame sia ame.
And David reigned over all Israel: and David did judgment and justice to all his people.
16 Yoab, Zeruya ƒe vi nɔ aʋakɔ la nu. Yehosafat, Ahilud ƒe vi nye fia ƒe tsiami.
And Joab the son of Sarvia was over the army: and Josaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder:
17 Zadok, Ahitub ƒe vi kple Ahimelek, Abiata ƒe vi nye nunɔlawo eye Seraya nye fia la ƒe nuŋlɔla.
And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests: and Saraias was the scribe:
18 Benaya, Yehoiada ƒe vi nɔ Keretitɔwo kple Peletitɔwo, ame siwo nye fiaŋudzɔlawo la nu eye David ƒe viŋutsuwo nye nunɔlawo.
And Banaias the son of Joiada was over the Cerethi and Phelethi: and the sons of David were the princes.
