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.
Now it happened that, after the course of a year, in the time when kings usually go forth to war, Joab gathered an army with experienced soldiers, and he laid waste to the land of the sons of Ammon. And he continued on and besieged Rabbah. But David was staying in Jerusalem when Joab struck Rabbah 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,
Then David took the crown of Milcom from his head, and he found in it the weight of one talent of gold, and very precious gems. And he made for himself a diadem from it. Also, he took the best spoils of the city, which were very many.
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.
Then he led away the people who were in it. And he caused plows, and sleds, and iron chariots to go over them, so much so that they were cut apart and crushed. So did David treat all the cities of the sons of Ammon. And he returned with all his people 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.
After these things, a war was begun at Gezer against the Philistines, in which Sibbecai the Hushathite struck Sippai from the race of the Rephaim, and he humbled them.
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.
Also, another war was undertaken against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus, a son of the forest, a Bethlehemite, struck the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the wood of whose spear was like a weaver’s 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.
Then too, another war occurred in Gath, in which there was a very tall man, having six digits, that is, all together twenty-four. This man too was born from the stock of the Rephaim.
7 Rĩrĩa aanyũrũririe andũ a Isiraeli, Jonathani mũrũ wa Shimea, mũrũ wa nyina na Daudi, akĩmũũraga.
He blasphemed Israel. And Jonathan, the son of Shimea, the brother of David, struck him down.
8 Acio nĩo maarĩ a rũciaro rwa Rafa wa kũu Gathu, nao makĩũragwo nĩ Daudi na andũ ake.
These were the sons of the Rephaim in Gath, who fell by the hand of David and his servants.
