II Samuela 8
1 MAHOPE aku, pepehi aku la o Davida i na Pilisetia, a hoolilo iho la ia lakou malalo ona: a lawe ae la hoi o Davida i ke kulanakauhale alii mailoko ae o ka lima o na Pilisetia.
Sometime after this, David attacked and subdued the Philistines, taking Metheg-ammah from the them.
2 Pepehi aku la hoi ia i ko Moaba, ana iho la ia lakou i ke kaulaana, e hoohina ana ia lakou ma ka honua: ana iho la oia ia lakou i elua kaula-ana e make ai, a me kekahi kaula-ana okoa e ola ai. Pela i lilo ai ko Moaba i aina kauwa na Davida, a lawe mai la hoi lakou i ka waiwai hoekupu.
David also defeated the Moabites. He made them lie down on the ground, and he measured them with a length of cord. He measured two lengths for those to be killed, and one cord length for those to be allowed to live. So he made them subject to him and required them to pay taxes.
3 Pepehi aku la hoi o Davida ia Hadadezera ke keiki a Rehoba, ke alii o Zoba, ia ia i hele aku ai e hoopaa i kona palena aina ma ka muliwai o Euperate.
David also defeated Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he tried to enforce his control along the Euphrates River.
4 Lawe pio aku la hoi o Davida mai ona aku la i ua hoohololio hookahi tausani me na haneri ehiku, a me na tausani kanaka hele wawae he iwakalua; a oki iho la o Davida i ke olona wawae o na lio no na halekaa; aka, ua hookoe ia i hookahi haneri o na lio halekaa.
David captured from him 1,000 chariots, 7,000 charioteers, and 20,000 foot soldiers. David hamstrung all the chariot horses—except he saved enough for 100 chariots.
5 A i ka hele ana mai o ko Suria no Damaseko e kokua mamuli o Hadadezera ke alii o Zoba, pepehi iho la o Davida i na kanaka he iwakalua kumamalua tausani o ko Suria.
When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand of them.
6 A hana iho la o Davida i na pakana ma Suria o Damaseko; a lilo ae la ko Suria i poe kauwa na Davida, a lawe mai la i ka waiwai hookupu. A malama mai la o Iehova ia Davida i na wahi a pau ana i hele ai.
He placed garrisons in Aramean kingdom with its capital in Damascus, and made the Arameans subject to him and required them to pay taxes. The Lord gave David victories wherever he went.
7 Hao ae la o Davida i na palekaua gula maluna o na kauwa a Hadadezera, a lawe mai la ia mau mea i Ierusaluma.
David took the shields of gold that belonged to Hadadezer's officers and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Lawe mai la hoi o Davida ke alii i ke keleawe he nui loa, mai Beta mai, a mai Berotai mai, na kulanakauhale o Hadadezera.
King David also took a large quantity of bronze from Betah and Berothai, towns that had belonged to Hadadezer.
9 A lohe ae la o Toi ke alii o Hamata ua pepehi aku o Davida i ka poe kaua a pau no Hadadezera,
When Tou, king of Hamath, learned that David had destroyed the entire army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah,
10 Alaila, hoouna mai la o Toi ia Iorama kana keiki io Davida la ke alii e ike ia ia, a e hoalohaloha ia ia, no ka mea, ua kaua aku oia ia Hadadezera, a ua luku aku ia ia: no ka mea, he kanaka kaua o Toi me Hadadezera; a ma kona lima na kiaha kala a me na kiaha gula a me na kiaha keleawe.
he sent his son Joram to David to make friends with him and to congratulate him on his victory in battle over Hadadezer. Tou and Hadadezer had often been at war. Joram brought all kinds of gifts of gold, silver, and bronze.
11 Hoolaa aku la no o Davida ia mau mea no Iehova, me ke kala a me ke gula ana i hoolaa aku ai o na lahuikanaka a pau ana i hookauwa aku ai:
King David dedicated these gifts to the Lord, along with the silver and gold he had taken from all the nations he had subdued:
12 O ko Suria, o ko Moaba, a o ka poe mamo a Amona, o ko Pilisetia, a o ko Ameleka, a o ka waiwai pio no Hadadezera ke keiki a Rehoba, ke alii no Zoba.
Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalekites; as well as the plunder taken from Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
13 Kaulana ae la ka inoa o Davida i kona wa i hoi mai ai, mai ka pepehi ana i ko Suria ma ke wawa paakai, he umikumamawalu tausani kanaka.
David also made a name for himself when he came back after defeating eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
14 Hana iho la hoi ia i na pakaua ma Edoma; ma Edoma a pau i hana iho ai oia i na pakaua; a lilo mai la ko Edoma a pau i kauwa na Davida. A malama mai la o Iehova ia Davida i na wahi a pau ana i hele aku ai.
He placed garrisons all through Edom, and all the Edomites became subject to David. The Lord gave David victories wherever he went.
15 Nohoalii iho la o Davida maluna o ka Iseraela a pau; a hooko aku la o Davida i ke kanawai, me ka hoopono aku i na kanaka ona a pau.
David ruled over all Israel. He did what was fair and right for all his people.
16 A o Ioaba ke keiki a Zeruia, oia ka luna kaua; a o Iehosapata ke keiki a Ahiluda ke kakaolelo;
Joab, son of Zeruiah, was the army commander, and Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, kept the official records.
17 A o Zadoka ke keiki a Ahituba, a me Ahimeleka ke keiki a Abiatara na kahuna; a o Seraia ke kakauolelo;
Zadok, son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech, son of Abiathar, were priests, while Seraiah was the secretary.
18 A o Benaia ke keiki a Iehoida, maluna ia o ka poe Kereti, a me ka poe Peleti; a o na keiki a Davida, he mau keiki alii lakou.
Benaiah, son of Jehoiada was in charge of the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David's sons were priests.
