2 Samuel 8
1 Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, Devid meriri ndị Filistia. Mee ka ha nọdụ nʼokpuru ọchịchị ya. Ọ naara obodo Meteg-Amaa site nʼọchịchị ndị Filistia.
Some time later, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Metheg-ammah from the hand of the Philistines.
2 Devid merikwara ndị Moab. O mere ka ha dinaa nʼala. O jikwa ụdọ ọtụtụ tụa ha. Ọtụtụ abụọ ọbụla nʼime ha ka egburu. Ọtụtụ nke atọ ka a hapụrụ ka ha dịrị ndụ. Ya mere, ndị Moab ghọrọ ndị ohu Devid, na-ebutakwara ya ụtụ kwa afọ ọbụla.
David also defeated the Moabites, made them lie down on the ground, and measured them off with a cord. He measured off with two lengths those to be put to death, and with one length those to be spared. So the Moabites became subject to David and brought him tribute.
3 Devid merikwara Hadadeza nwa Rehob, eze Zoba. Mgbe ọ gara inweghachita ogidi e jiri mara ya, nʼakụkụ osimiri Yufretis.
David also defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, who had marched out to restore his dominion along the Euphrates River.
4 Devid nwudere otu puku ịnyịnya ya na-adọkpụ ụgbọ agha, puku ndị agha asaa ndị na-agba ụgbọ agha, tinyere ndị agha ji ụkwụ eje dị iri puku abụọ. O bipụrụ akwara ụkwụ ịnyịnya ndị ahụ niile ọ dọtara nʼagha, ma hapụ naanị narị ịnyịnya.
David captured from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand charioteers, and twenty thousand foot soldiers, and he hamstrung all the horses except a hundred he kept for the chariots.
5 Mgbe ndị Aram nke Damaskọs bịara inyere Hadadeza eze Zoba aka, Devid gburu iri puku ndị agha abụọ na abụọ nʼime ha.
When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand men.
6 O wuru ogige ndị agha nʼalaeze ndị Aram nke Damaskọs. Ndị Aram ghọrọ ndị ohu Devid, na-ewetakwa ụtụ ịnata ihuọma. Onyenwe anyị nyere Devid mmeri ebe ọbụla ọ gara.
Then he placed garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became subject to David and brought him tribute. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
7 Devid chịkọtara ọta ọlaedo ndịisi agha Hadadeza ji lụọ agha webata ha na Jerusalem.
And David took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Site na Teba nakwa Beirotai, bụ obodo Hadadeza na-achị. Eze Devid weere ọtụtụ bronz dị ukwuu.
And from Betah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a large amount of bronze.
9 Mgbe Tou, eze Hamat, nụrụ na Devid emeriela ndị agha Hadadeza niile,
When King Toi of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer,
10 o zipụrụ Joram, nwa ya nwoke, ka ọ gaa kelee Devid, nʼihi mmeri o meriri Hadadeza nʼagha, bụ onye ya na Tou nọ nʼagha. Joram ji ọtụtụ akụrụngwa nke ọlaọcha, nke ọlaedo na nke bronz bịa.
he sent his son Joram to greet King David and bless him for fighting and defeating Hadadezer, who had been at war with Toi. Joram brought with him articles of silver and gold and bronze,
11 Eze Devid doro akụrụngwa ndị a niile nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị, dịka o si mee ọlaọcha na ọlaedo si na mba niile ndị ọ lụgburu.
and King David dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had dedicated from all the nations he had subdued—
12 Mba ndị a bụ: Edọm, Moab, ndị Amọn, ndị Filistia na Amalek. O dokwara nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị ihe ọ kwatara nʼagha site nʼaka Hadadeza nwa Rehob, bụ eze Zoba.
from Edom and Moab, from the Ammonites and Philistines and Amalekites, and from the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
13 Devid meere onwe ya aha, mgbe o si nʼitigbu puku ndị ikom Edọm iri na asatọ na Ndagwurugwu Nnu lọghachite.
And David made a name for himself when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
14 O wuru ogige ndị agha nʼala Edọm niile, ndị Edọm niile ghọrọ ndị na-ejere Devid ozi. Onyenwe anyị nyere Devid mmeri ebe ọbụla ọ gara.
He placed garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
15 Devid chịrị ndị Izrel niile, na-emere ndị ya ihe dị mma na ihe ziri ezi. O mesokwaghị onye ọbụla mmeso ọjọọ.
Thus David reigned over all Israel and administered justice and righteousness for all his people:
16 Onyeisi ndị agha ya bụ Joab nwa Zeruaya; ode akwụkwọ obodo bụ Jehoshafat, nwa Ahilud.
Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
17 Zadọk nwa Ahitub, na Ahimelek nwa Abịata, bụ ndị nchụaja; Seraya bụ ode akwụkwọ eze.
Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Seraiah was the scribe;
18 Benaya, nwa Jehoiada, bụ onyeisi ndị Keret na Pelet. Ụmụ ndị ikom Devid bụkwa ndị nchụaja.
Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were priestly leaders.
