1 Maũndũ 20
1 Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ya kĩmera yakinya, ihinda rĩrĩa athamaki maathiiaga mbaara, Joabu agĩtongoria mbũtũ cia ita. Nake akĩananga bũrũri wa Aamoni, na agĩthiĩ Raba akĩrĩrigiicĩria, no Daudi agĩtigwo Jerusalemu. Joabu agĩtharĩkĩra Raba agĩtiga aarĩananga.
And it came to pass at the return of the year, at the [time of the] going forth of kings [to war], that Joab gathered the whole force of the army, and they ravaged the land of the children of Ammon; and he came and besieged Rabba. But David abode in Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabba and destroyed it.
2 Daudi akĩruta mũthamaki wao thũmbĩ mũtwe, nayo yarĩ na ũritũ wa taranda ĩmwe ya thahabu, na nĩyagemetio na tũhiga twa goro, nayo ĩkĩigĩrĩrwo mũtwe wa Daudi. Nake agĩtaha indo nyingĩ mũno kuuma itũũra rĩu inene,
And David took the crown of Molchom their king off his head, and the weight of it was found [to be] a talent of gold, and on it were precious stones; and it was [placed] on the head of David: and he brought out the spoils of the city [which were] very great.
3 na akĩrutũrũra aikari akuo, akĩmahe wĩra wa gwatũra mbaũ na mĩthumeno, na kũruta wĩra na harũ cia igera na mathanwa. Ũguo nĩguo Daudi eekire matũũra mothe ma Amoni. Thuutha ũcio Daudi na mbũtũ ciake ciothe cia ita magĩcooka Jerusalemu.
And he brought out the people that were in it, and sawed them asunder with saws, and [cut them] with iron axes, and with harrows: and thus David did to all the children of Ammon. And David and all his people returned to Jerusalem.
4 Mahinda macio-rĩ, gũkĩgĩa mbaara ya kũrũa na Afilisti kũu Gezeri. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Sibekai ũrĩa Mũhushathi akĩũraga Sipai, ũmwe wa njiaro cia Refai, nao Afilisti magĩtoorio biũ.
And it came to pass afterward that there was again war with the Philistines in Gazer: then Sobochai the Sosathite smote Saphut of the sons of the giants, and laid him low.
5 Mbaara-inĩ ĩngĩ makĩrũa na Afilisti, nake Elihanani mũrũ wa Jairu akĩũraga Lahami mũrũ wa nyina na Goliathũ, ũrĩa Mũgiiti, ũrĩa warĩ na itimũ rĩarĩ na mũtĩ waiganaga ta mũtĩ wa mũtumi ngoora.
And there [was] war again with the Philistines; and Eleanan the son of Jair smote Lachmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear [was] as a weavers' beam.
6 Ningĩ mbaara-inĩ ĩngĩ ĩrĩa yarũĩirwo Gathu, kwarĩ na mũndũ mũnene mũno, warĩ na ciara ithathatũ o guoko, na ciara ithathatũ o kũgũrũ, ciothe ciarĩ ciara mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na inya. O nake aarĩ wa rũciaro rwa Rafa.
And there was again war in Geth, and there was a man of extraordinary size, and his fingers [and toes were] six on each hand and foot, four and twenty; and he was descended from the giants.
7 Rĩrĩa aanyũrũririe andũ a Isiraeli, Jonathani mũrũ wa Shimea, mũrũ wa nyina na Daudi, akĩmũũraga.
And he defied Israel, and Jonathan the son of Samaa the brother of David slew him.
8 Acio nĩo maarĩ a rũciaro rwa Rafa wa kũu Gathu, nao makĩũragwo nĩ Daudi na andũ ake.
These were born to Rapha in Geth; all four were giants, and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
