2 Samuel 8
1 Beberapa waktu kemudian Raja Daud menyerang orang Filistin lagi. Ia mengalahkan mereka dan merebut tanah mereka.
And after this it came to pass that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them; and David took the power of the capital out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 Daud juga mengalahkan orang Moab. Disuruhnya mereka berbaring di tanah, lalu dibunuhnya dua orang di antara tiap tiga orang. Jadi, orang Moab takluk kepada Daud dan membayar upeti kepadanya.
And he smote the Moabites, and measured them with a line, making them lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. And the Moabites became David's servants, [and] brought gifts.
3 Selanjutnya Daud mengalahkan Raja Hadadezer anak Rehob yang memerintah di Zoba, yaitu sebuah kerajaan dekat Damsyik. Pada waktu itu Hadadezer sedang dalam perjalanan hendak memulihkan kekuasaannya atas wilayah di dekat hulu Sungai Efrat.
And David smote Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his dominion by the river Euphrates.
4 Daud menawan 1.700 orang tentara berkuda dan 20.000 orang tentara berjalan kaki. Ia melumpuhkan semua kuda, kecuali sebagian, cukup untuk seratus kereta perang.
And David took from him one thousand seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen; and David houghed all the chariot [horses], but reserved of them [for] a hundred chariots.
5 Orang Siria dari Damsyik mengirim tentara untuk menolong Raja Hadadezer. Tetapi Daud mengalahkan mereka dan menewaskan 22.000 orang dari mereka.
And the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, and David smote of the Syrians twenty-two thousand men.
6 Kemudian Daud mendirikan perkemahan-perkemahan militer dalam wilayah mereka, dan mereka takluk serta membayar upeti kepadanya. TUHAN memberikan kemenangan kepada Daud di mana pun ia berperang.
And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, [and] brought gifts. And Jehovah preserved David whithersoever he went.
7 Tameng-tameng emas yang dipakai oleh tentara Hadadezer dirampas oleh Daud dan dibawa ke Yerusalem.
And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Selain itu Daud juga mengambil perunggu banyak sekali dari Betah dan Berotai, kota-kota yang dahulu dikuasai oleh Hadadezer.
And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much bronze.
9 Raja Tou dari Hamat mendengar bahwa Daud telah mengalahkan seluruh tentara Hadadezer.
And Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the forces of Hadadezer;
10 Maka ia mengutus Yoram putranya untuk menyampaikan salam kepada Raja Daud dan mengucapkan selamat atas kemenangannya itu, sebab Hadadezer sudah sering berperang dengan Tou. Yoram datang kepada Daud dengan membawa banyak hadiah dari emas, perak dan perunggu.
and Toi sent Joram his son to king David, to inquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and smitten him; for Hadadezer was continually at war with Toi. And he brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze.
11 Raja Daud mempersembahkan semua hadiah itu kepada TUHAN untuk dipergunakan dalam upacara ibadat. Demikian juga dilakukannya dengan barang-barang emas dan perak yang telah dirampasnya dari Hadadezer dan bangsa-bangsa yang dikalahkannya, yaitu bangsa Edom, Moab, Amon, Filistin dan Amalek.
Them also king David dedicated to Jehovah, with the silver and the gold that he had dedicated of all the nations that he had subdued:
of the Syrians, and of the Moabites, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of the Amalekites, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
13 Nama Daud menjadi lebih termasyhur lagi ketika ia kembali setelah menewaskan 18.000 orang Edom di Lembah Asin.
And David made him a name when he returned, after he had smitten the Syrians in the valley of salt, eighteen thousand [men].
14 Ia mendirikan perkemahan-perkemahan militer di seluruh Edom, dan orang-orang Edom itu takluk kepadanya. TUHAN memberikan kemenangan kepada Daud di mana pun ia berperang.
And he put garrisons in Edom: throughout Edom did he put garrisons; and all they of Edom became servants to David. And Jehovah preserved David whithersoever he went.
15 Demikianlah Daud memerintah seluruh Israel dan menjaga agar rakyatnya selalu diperlakukan dengan adil dan baik.
And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice to all his people.
16 Inilah pejabat-pejabat tinggi yang diangkat oleh Daud: Panglima angkatan bersenjata: Yoab anak Zeruya; Sekretaris istana: Yosafat anak Ahilud; Imam-imam: Zadok anak Ahitub, dan Ahimelekh anak Abyatar; Sekretaris negara: Seraya
And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was chronicler;
and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Seraiah was scribe;
18 Kepala pengawal pribadi raja: Benaya anak Yoyada; Imam-imam di istana: putra-putra Daud.
and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief rulers.
