1 Ihe E Mere 20
1 Nʼoge ọkọchị, mgbe ndị eze na-apụ ibu agha, Joab duuru ndị agha pụọ ibu agha. O bibiri ala ndị Amọn niile, gaa Raba nọchibido ya, ma Devid nọdụrụ na Jerusalem. Joab busoro Raba agha, mee ka ọ ghọọ mkpọmkpọ ebe.
And it comes to pass, at the time of the turn of the year—at the time of the going out of the messengers—that Joab leads out the force of the host, and destroys the land of the sons of Ammon, and comes in and besieges Rabbah—David is abiding in Jerusalem—and Joab strikes Rabbah, and breaks it down.
2 Devid kpupuru okpueze nke dị eze ha nʼisi, ahụtara nʼịdị arọ nke okpueze ahụ ruru kilogram ọlaedo iri atọ na anọ, nke e ji nkume ndị dị oke ọnụahịa chọọ mma, e kpunyere ya Devid nʼisi. O sitekwara nʼobodo ahụ kwakọrọ ọtụtụ ihe nkwata nʼagha.
And David takes the crown of their king from off his head, and finds it [to be] a talent of gold [in] weight, and [with] precious stone in it, and it is on the head of David; and he has brought out very much spoil of the city,
3 Ọ kpọpụtara ndị nọ nʼebe ahụ, manye ha nʼịrụ ọrụ nke e ji mma nkwọ e ji awa osisi, na igwe e ji egwu ala, na anyụike na-arụ. Otu a ka Devid mekwara obodo niile nke ndị Amọn. Emesịa, Devid na ndị agha ya niile laghachiri na Jerusalem.
and he has brought out the people who [are] in it, and sets [them] to the saw, and to cutting instruments of iron, and to axes; and thus David does to all cities of the sons of Ammon, and David turns back—and all the people—to Jerusalem.
4 Mgbe oge gatụrụ, agha ọzọ daara ha na ndị Filistia, na Gaza. Mgbe ahụ, Sibekai, onye Husha, gburu Sipai, otu nʼime ndị agbụrụ Refaim. Nke a mere ka ndị Filistia chilie aka ha elu, bụrụ ndị a lụgburu nʼagha.
And it comes to pass after this, that war remains in Gezer with the Philistines; then Sibbechai the Hushathite has struck Sippai, of the children of the giant, and they are humbled.
5 Nʼagha ọzọ ha na ndị Filistia lụrụ, Elhanan, nwa Jaịa, gburu Lami nwanne Golaịat, onye Gat. Onye ùbe ya nwere osisi dị ogologo dịka nke onye na-ekwe akwa ji ekwe akwa.
And there is war with the Philistines again, and Elhanan son of Jair strikes Lahmi, brother of Goliath the Gittite, the wood of whose spear [is] like a weavers’ beam.
6 Nʼagha ọzọkwa, bụ nke a lụrụ na Gat, e nwere otu nwoke gbara oke dimkpa, nke nwere mkpịsịaka isii nʼaka ya ọbụla, nweekwa mkpịsịụkwụ isii nʼụkwụ ya ọbụla, ya bụ, a gụkọtaa ha niile, iri mkpịsịaka na mkpịsịụkwụ abụọ na anọ. Ọ bụkwa onye amụrụ nʼagbụrụ Rafa.
And there is war in Gath again, and there is a man of [great] measure, and his fingers and his toes [are] six and six—twenty-four [total], and he has also been born to the giant.
7 Mgbe ọ kọchara Izrel, Jonatan nwa Shimea, nwanne Devid gburu ya.
And he reproaches Israel, and Jonathan son of Shimea, brother of David, strikes him.
8 Ndị a bụ ndị agbụrụ Rafa dị na Gat. Devid na ndị agha ya gburu ha niile.
These were born to the giant in Gath, and they fall by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
