1 Le esia megbe la, David ɖu Filistitɔwo dzi eye wòbɔbɔ wo ɖe anyi to woƒe du Meteg Ama xɔxɔ me.
Ngokuqhubeka kwesikhathi uDavida wawehlula amaFilistiya wawanqoba, wathumba iMethegi Ama eyayiphethwe ngamaFilistiya.

UDavida njalo wehlula amaMowabi. Wawalalisa phansi emhlabathini wawalinganisa ngobude bentambo. Zonke izilinganiso ezimbili zawo zabulawa, kwathi isilinganiso sesithathu sayekelwa siphila. Ngakho amaMowabi abuswa nguDavida athela imithelo kuye.
3 Eɖu Zoba fia Hadadezer, Rehob ƒe vi dzi le esime wòva be yeaɖo yeƒe fiaɖuƒe anyi ɖe Frat tɔsisi la to.

4 David lé sɔdola akpe wuiadre kple afɔzɔla akpe blaeve, etu ata na sɔawo katã negbe wo dometɔ alafa ɖeka ko.
UDavida wathumba izinqola zakhe zokulwa eziyinkulungwane, labatshayeli bazo abazinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa, lezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili zamabutho ahamba ngenyawo. Waquma imisipha yamabhiza wonke adonsa izinqola zokulwa ngaphandle kwalikhulu.
5 Esi Aramtɔwo tso Damasko va be yewoakpe ɖe Zoba fia Hadadezer ŋu la, David wu wo dometɔ akpe blaeve-vɔ-eve.
Kwathi ama-Aramu aseDamaseko efika ukuzoncedisa uHadadezeri inkosi yaseZobha, uDavida wabulala azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lambili zawo.
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.
Wabeka inkamba zamabutho okulinda elizweni lama-Aramu eDamaseko, kwathi ama-Aramu aba ngaphansi kombuso wakhe aletha imithelo. UThixo wamnika ukunqoba uDavida loba kungaphi lapho aya khona.
7 David tsɔ sikakpoxɔnu siwo ŋu dɔ Fia Hadadezer ƒe aʋakɔwo wɔ la va Yerusalem.
UDavida wathatha amahawu egolide eziphathamandla zikaHadadezeri wawasa eJerusalema.
8 Etsɔ akɔbli gbogbo aɖe hã tso Teba kple Berotai siwo nye Fia Hadadezer ƒe du gãwo la me yi Yerusalem.
Kusukela eThebha kanye laseBherothayi, imizi eyayingekaHadadezeri, inkosi uDavida yathatha khona ithusi elinengi kakhulu.
9 Esi Hamat fia, Tɔi, se ale si David si fia Hadadezer ƒe aʋakɔ blibo la,
Lapho uTowu inkosi yaseHamathi isizwe ukuthi uDavida wayelehlule lonke ibutho likaHadadezeri,

wathumela indodana yakhe uJoramu enkosini uDavida ukuyambingelela lokuyamenzela amhlophe ngokunqoba kwakhe uHadadezeri empini, owayesilwa impi loTowu. UJoramu wamlethela izitsha zesiliva lezegolide kanye lezethusi.
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,

I-Edomi leMowabi, ama-Amoni lamaFilistiya kanye lama-Amaleki. Wanikela lempango eyathathwa kuHadadezeri indodana kaRehobhi, inkosi yaseZobha.
13 Ale David ƒe ŋkɔ ɖi hoo. Esi wòtrɔ gbɔ la, ewu Siriatɔ akpe wuienyi le Dze Balime
UDavida waba lodumo emva kokubuya kwakhe evela kulwa lama-Edomi azinkulungwane ezilitshumi lasificaminwembili eSigodini seTswayi.
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.

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