2 Samuel 8
1 Beberapa waktu kemudian Raja Daud menyerang orang Filistin lagi. Ia mengalahkan mereka dan merebut tanah mereka.
After this it came about that David attacked the Philistines and defeated them. So David took Metheg Ammah from the control 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.
Then he defeated Moab and measured their men with a line by making them lie down on the ground. He measured off two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. So the Moabites became servants to David and began to pay him tribute.
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.
David then defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, the king of Zobah, as Hadadezer was traveling to recover his rule by the Euphrates River.
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.
David captured from him 1,700 chariots and twenty thousand footmen. David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved enough 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.
When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand Aramean 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.
Then David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became servants to him and brought him tribute. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.
7 Tameng-tameng emas yang dipakai oleh tentara Hadadezer dirampas oleh Daud dan dibawa ke Yerusalem.
David took the golden shields that were on Hadadezer's servants 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.
From Tebah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took very much bronze.
9 Raja Tou dari Hamat mendengar bahwa Daud telah mengalahkan seluruh tentara Hadadezer.
When Tou, king of Hamath, heard that David had defeated all the army 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.
Tou sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him, because David had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him, and because Hadadezer had waged war against Tou. Hadoram brought with himself objects of silver, gold, and 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.
King David set aside these objects to Yahweh, together with the silver and gold from all the nations that he conquered—
from Aram, Moab, the people of Ammon, the Philistines, and Amalek, along with all of the plundered goods of Hadadezer son of Rehob, the king of Zobah.
13 Nama Daud menjadi lebih termasyhur lagi ketika ia kembali setelah menewaskan 18.000 orang Edom di Lembah Asin.
David's name was well known when he returned from conquering the Arameans in the Valley of Salt, with their 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.
He placed garrisons throughout all of Edom, and all the Edomites became servants to him. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.
15 Demikianlah Daud memerintah seluruh Israel dan menjaga agar rakyatnya selalu diperlakukan dengan adil dan baik.
David reigned over all Israel, and he administered justice and righteousness 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
Joab son of Zeruiah was the commander of the army, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was recorder.
Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests, and Seraiah was scribe.
18 Kepala pengawal pribadi raja: Benaya anak Yoyada; Imam-imam di istana: putra-putra Daud.
