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.

After this it happened that David struck the Philistines, and subdued them, and David took the bridle of Ammah out of 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.

He struck Moab, and measured them with the line, making them to lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. The Moabites became servants to David, and brought tribute.

3 Devid merikwara Hadadeza nwa Rehob, eze Zoba. Mgbe ọ gara inweghachita ogidi e jiri mara ya, nʼakụkụ osimiri Yufretis.

David struck also Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his dominion at the 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.

And David took from him a thousand of his chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for one hundred 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 Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck of the Arameans two and twenty 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 David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus; and the Arameans became servants to David, and brought tribute. YHWH gave victory to David wherever he went.

7 Devid chịkọtara ọta ọlaedo ndịisi agha Hadadeza ji lụọ agha webata ha na Jerusalem.

And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem, which, later on, were also taken by Shishak king of Egypt in the days of Rehoboam son of Solomon when he went up to Jerusalem.

8 Site na Teba nakwa Beirotai, bụ obodo Hadadeza na-achị. Eze Devid weere ọtụtụ bronz dị ukwuu.

From Tebah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took a very great amount of bronze.

9 Mgbe Tou, eze Hamat, nụrụ na Devid emeriela ndị agha Hadadeza niile,

When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the 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.

then Toi sent Hadoram his son to king David, to greet him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And he brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of 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.

The King also dedicated these to YHWH, with the silver and gold that he dedicated of all the nations which he 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.

of Edom, and of Moab, and of the people of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of 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 defeating the Arameans. And Abishai son of Zeruiah defeated the Edomites in the Valley of Salt--eighteen thousand.

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.

And he put a garrison in Edom, and all the Edomites became servants to David. YHWH gave victory to David 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.

And David reigned over Israel, exercising justice and righteousness for all his people.

16 Onyeisi ndị agha ya bụ Joab nwa Zeruaya; ode akwụkwọ obodo bụ Jehoshafat, nwa Ahilud.

And Joab the son of Zeruiah was in charge of the army; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;

17 Zadọk nwa Ahitub, na Ahimelek nwa Abịata, bụ ndị nchụaja; Seraya bụ ode akwụkwọ eze.

and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abiathar the son of Ahimelech, were priests; and Shisha was scribe;

18 Benaya, nwa Jehoiada, bụ onyeisi ndị Keret na Pelet. Ụmụ ndị ikom Devid bụkwa ndị nchụaja.

and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada supervised the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief ministers.
