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 cometh to pass, at the time of the turn of the year — at the time of the going out of the messengers — that Joab leadeth out the force of the host, and destroyeth the land of the sons of Ammon, and cometh in and beseigeth Rabbah — David is abiding in Jerusalem — and Joab smiteth Rabbah, and breaketh 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 taketh the crown of their king from off his head, and findeth it [in] weight a talent of gold, and in it a precious stone, and it is on the head of David: and spoil of the city he hath brought out very much,
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 the people who [are] in it he hath brought out, and setteth to the saw, and to cutting instruments of iron, and to axes; and thus doth David to all cities of the sons of Ammon, and David turneth 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 cometh to pass, after this, that there remaineth war in Gezer with the Philistines, then hath Sibbechai the Hushathite smitten 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 again war with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jair smiteth Lahmi, brother of Goliath the Gittite, the wood of whose spear [is] like a beam of weavers.
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 again war in Gath, and there is a man of measure, and his fingers and his toes [are] six and six, twenty and four, and also, he hath been born to the giant.
7 Mgbe ọ kọchara Izrel, Jonatan nwa Shimea, nwanne Devid gburu ya.
And he reproacheth Israel, and smite him doth Jonathan son of Shimea, brother of David.
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.
