1 Krónika 20
1 És lőn az esztendőnek fordulásával, mikor a királyok harczba menni szoktak, elindítá Joáb a hadat, és elpusztítá az Ammon fiainak földjét. És elmenvén megszállá Rabbát, (Dávid pedig Jeruzsálemben marada) és elfoglalá Joáb Rabbát és elrontá azt.
[In that region], kings usually went [with their armies] to fight [their enemies] (in the springtime/when the cold season ended). But that year, David [did not do that. Instead, he] stayed in Jerusalem, and he sent [his commander] Joab [to lead the army]. Joab took his troops. They [crossed the Jordan River and] ruined the land of the Ammon people-group. Then they went to Rabbah, [the capital city, ] and surrounded it. David stayed in Jerusalem [for a while. But later he took more troops and went to help] Joab. Their armies attacked Rabbah and destroyed it.
2 És elvevé Dávid az ő királyuknak fejéről a koronát, mely egy tálentom arany súlyú vala, s melyben drágakövek valának. És Dávid fejére tette azt, s a városból is temérdek zsákmányt vitt el.
Then David took the crown from the head of the king of Rabbah (OR, from the head of their god Milcom) and put it on his own head. It [was very heavy; it] weighed (75 pounds/34 kg.), and it had many very valuable stones [fastened to it]. They also took many other valuable things from the city.
3 A város népét pedig kihozatá és fűrészszel vágatá, és vasboronákkal és fejszékkel. Így cselekedék Dávid az Ammon fiainak minden városával; azután megtére Dávid az egész néppel Jeruzsálembe.
Then they brought the people out of the city and forced them to [work for their army, ] using saws and iron picks and axes. David’s soldiers did this in all the cities of the Ammon people-group. Then David and all of his army returned to Jerusalem.
4 Ezután ismét had támada Gézerben a Filiszteusok ellen; és akkor ölé meg a Husátites Sibbékai az óriások nemzetségéből való Sippait; és ilyen módon megaláztatának.
Later, [David’s army] fought a battle with the army of Philistia, at Gezer [city]. During the battle Sibbecai, from Hushah [clan], killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the Rapha [giants]. So the armies of Philistia were defeated.
5 Ismét lőn had a Filiszteusok ellen, a melyben megölé Elhanán, a Jáir fia a Gáthbeli Lákhmit, a Góliát atyjafiát; és az ő dárdájának nyele hasonló vala a szövők zúgolyfájához.
In another battle against the soldiers of Philistia, Elhanan, the son of Jair, killed Lahmi, the [younger] brother of [the giant] Goliath from Gath [town], who had a spear which was as thick as a weaver’s rod.
6 Ezek után ismét versengés támadt Gáthban, hol egy magas ember vala, a kinek hat-hat, vagyis huszonnégy ujja volt; ez is óriás fia vala.
There was another battle near Gath. A (huge man/giant) was there who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He was descended from [the] Rapha [giants].
7 És szidalommal illeté Izráelt, és megölé őt Jonathán, Dávid testvérének, Simeának fia.
When he made fun of the soldiers of Israel, Jonathan, the son of David’s [older] brother Shimea, killed him.
8 Ezek ugyanazon egy óriásnak fiai voltak Gáthban, a kik elveszének Dávidnak és az ő szolgáinak keze által.
Those were some of the descendants of [the] Rapha [giants] who had lived in Gath, who were killed [MTY] by David and his soldiers.
