Pirmā Laiku 20
1 Un kad gads bija pagājis, ap to laiku, kad ķēniņi iziet, tad Joabs izvadīja karaspēku un izpostīja Amona bērnu zemi, un nāca un apmeta lēģeri pret Rabu. Bet Dāvids palika Jeruzālemē. Un Joabs kāva Rabu un to izpostīja.
[In that region], kings usually went [with their armies] to fight [their enemies] (in the springtime/when the cold season ended). But that year, David [did not do that. Instead, he] stayed in Jerusalem, and he sent [his commander] Joab [to lead the army]. Joab took his troops. They [crossed the Jordan River and] ruined the land of the Ammon people-group. Then they went to Rabbah, [the capital city, ] and surrounded it. David stayed in Jerusalem [for a while. But later he took more troops and went to help] Joab. Their armies attacked Rabbah and destroyed it.
2 Un Dāvids ņēma viņas ķēniņa kroni no viņa galvas un atrada, ka tas svēra vienu talentu zelta, un dārgi akmeņi bija iekš tā, un tas Dāvidam tapa likts galvā; viņš arī izveda ļoti daudz laupījuma no tās pilsētas.
Then David took the crown from the head of the king of Rabbah (OR, from the head of their god Milcom) and put it on his own head. It [was very heavy; it] weighed (75 pounds/34 kg.), and it had many very valuable stones [fastened to it]. They also took many other valuable things from the city.
3 Un viņš izveda tos ļaudis, kas tur bija, un tos lika apakš zāģiem un apakš dzelzs kuļamiem ruļļiem un apakš dzelzs cirvjiem. Un tā Dāvids darīja visām Amona bērnu pilsētām. Tad Dāvids ar visiem ļaudīm griezās atpakaļ uz Jeruzālemi.
Then they brought the people out of the city and forced them to [work for their army, ] using saws and iron picks and axes. David’s soldiers did this in all the cities of the Ammon people-group. Then David and all of his army returned to Jerusalem.
4 Un pēc tam karš cēlās ar Fīlistiem Gazerā; tad Zibekajus, Uzata dēls, kāva Zibaju, kas bija no milžu ļaužu bērniem, un tos pazemoja.
Later, [David’s army] fought a battle with the army of Philistia, at Gezer [city]. During the battle Sibbecai, from Hushah [clan], killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the Rapha [giants]. So the armies of Philistia were defeated.
5 Un atkal karš cēlās ar Fīlistiem, un Elkanus, Jaīra dēls, kāva Laēmu, Goliata, tā Gatieša, brāli, kam šķēpa kāts bija kā riestava.
In another battle against the soldiers of Philistia, Elhanan, the son of Jair, killed Lahmi, the [younger] brother of [the giant] Goliath from Gath [town], who had a spear which was as thick as a weaver’s rod.
6 Un atkal bija karš Gatā, un tur bija viens liels vīrs, tam bija pa sešiem pirkstiem pie rokām un kājām, divdesmit un četri pavisam, un tas bija arīdzan dzimis no milžu ļaudīm.
There was another battle near Gath. A (huge man/giant) was there who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He was descended from [the] Rapha [giants].
7 Un tas apmēdīja Israēli, bet Jonatāns, Šimejus, Dāvida brāļa, dēls, to nokāva.
When he made fun of the soldiers of Israel, Jonathan, the son of David’s [older] brother Shimea, killed him.
8 Tie no milžu ļaudīm bija dzimuši Gatā, un krita caur Dāvida roku un caur viņa kalpu roku.
Those were some of the descendants of [the] Rapha [giants] who had lived in Gath, who were killed [MTY] by David and his soldiers.
