I Oihanaalii 20

1 A I ka makahiki hou, i ka manawa e hele aku ai na alii, alakai aku la o Ioaba i ka poe ikaika o na koa, a luku iho la i ka aina o na mamo a Amona, a hele aku la, a hoopilikia aku la ia Raba: aka, noho iho la o Davida i Ierusalema A pepehi aku la o Ioaba ia Raba, a luku iho la ia wahi.

In the spring, at the time when kings march out to war, Joab led out the army and ravaged the land of the Ammonites. He came to Rabbah and besieged it, but David remained in Jerusalem. And Joab attacked Rabbah and demolished it.

2 Lawe ae la o Davida i ka papalealii o ko lakou alii mailuna o kona poo, he talena gula ia i ke kaupaona ana, a me na pohaku makamae maloko; a ua kauia oia maluna o ke poo o Davida: a lawe mai la ia i ka waiwai pio he nui loa mailoko mai o ua kulanakauhale la.

Then David took the crown from the head of their king. It was found to weigh a talent of gold and was set with precious stones, and it was placed on David’s head. And David took a great amount of plunder from the city.

3 Lawe mai la hoi oia iwaho i na kanaka oloko: a okioki iho la ia lakou i na pahiolo, a i na mea hao oioi, a i na koilipi. Pela i hana aku ai o Davida i na kulanakauhale a pau o na mamo a Amona. A hoi hou mai la o Davida me na kanaka a pau i Ierusalema.

David brought out the people who were there and put them to work with saws, iron picks, and axes. And he did the same to all the Ammonite cities. Then David and all his troops returned to Jerusalem.

4 A mahope mai o ia mea, ku ae la ke kaua ma Gezera me na Pilisetia; ia manawa, pepehi iho la o Sibekai no Husata ia Sipai no na keiki a ke kanaka nunui: a ua hoopioia lakou.

Some time later, war broke out with the Philistines at Gezer. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, a descendant of the Rephaim, and the Philistines were subdued.

5 A he kaua hou no hoi me na Pilisetia; a pepehi iho la o Elehanana ke keiki a Iaira ia Lahemi ke kaikaina o Golia no Gata, o ke au o kaua ihe, ua like ia me ka laau o ka mea ulana lole.

Once again there was a battle with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.

6 A he kaua hou ma Gata, ilaila he kanaka nunui, he iwakaluakumamaha na manamanalima a me na manamanawawae ona, he paono a he paono, a he keiki no hoi ia na ke kanaka nunui.

And there was still another battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He too was descended from Rapha,

7 Aka i ka wa i hoino mai ai oia i ka Iseraela, pepehi iho la o lonatana ke keiki a Simea a ke kaikuaana o Davida, ia ia.

and when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of David’s brother Shimei killed him.

8 Ua hanau keia poe na ke kanaka nunui ma Gata; a haule lakou ma ka lima o Davida, a me ka lima o kana mau kauwa

So these descendants of Rapha in Gath fell at the hands of David and his servants.
