Otra Samuela 8
1 Un notikās, ka pēc tam Dāvids sita Fīlistus un tos pārvarēja, un Dāvids atņēma valdīšanas iemauktus Fīlistu rokām.
Some time later, David’s army attacked the Philistia [army] and defeated them. They took control over the entire Philistia area.
2 Viņš sita arī Moabiešus un pie zemes nometis viņš tos mēroja ar auklu, un mēroja divas daļas nokaujamos un vienu pilnu daļu, ko pameta dzīvus. Tā Moabieši Dāvidam palika par kalpiem un nesa dāvanas.
David’s army also defeated the army of the Moab people-group. David forced their soldiers to lie down on the ground [close to each other]. His men killed two out of every three of them. The [other] Moab people [were forced to] accept David as their ruler, and they were forced to give to him [every year the] payment/tax [that he demanded].
3 Un Dāvids sita arī HadadEzeru, Rekaba dēlu, Cobas ķēniņu, kad šis nogāja, savu varu atkal uzcelt pie Eifrat upes.
David’s army also defeated [the army of] Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, who ruled [the state of] Zobah [in Syria]. That happened when David went to rule again over the area at [the upper part of] the Euphrates River.
4 Un Dāvids tam paņēma tūkstoš un septiņsimt jātniekus un divdesmit tūkstoš kājniekus, un darīja visus zirgus tizlus, un no tiem atlicināja simts zirgus.
David’s army captured 1,700 of Hadadezer’s soldiers who rode on horses, and 20,000 of his other soldiers. They also crippled/hamstrung most of the horses that pulled the chariots, but they left/spared enough horses to [pull] 100 chariots.
5 Un Sīrieši no Damaskus nāca palīgā HadadEzeram, Cobas ķēniņam, bet Dāvids kāva no Sīriešiem divdesmit un divtūkstoš vīrus.
When [the army of] Syria came from Damascus [city] to help King Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.
6 Un Dāvids ielika karavīrus Damaskū Sīrijā. Un Sīrieši Dāvidam palika par kalpiem un nesa dāvanas; un Tas Kungs Dāvidam visur palīdzēja, kurp viņš gāja.
Then David stationed (groups of his soldiers/army camps) in their area, and the people of Syria were forced to accept David as their ruler, and to give to David’s government [every year] the payment/tax that he demanded. And Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win victories wherever they went.
7 Un Dāvids ņēma tās priekšturamās zelta bruņas, kas HadadEzera kalpiem bija, un tās pārnesa uz Jeruzālemi.
David’s soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by Hadadezer’s officials, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Un no Betas un Berotajas, HadadEzera pilsētām, ķēniņš Dāvids paņēma arī daudz vara.
They also brought [to Jerusalem] a lot of bronze [that they found] in Betah and Berothai, two cities that King Hadadezer [had previously] ruled.
9 Kad nu Tojus, Hamatas ķēniņš, dzirdēja, ka Dāvids bija kāvis visu HadadEzera karaspēku,
When Toi, the king of the Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
10 Tad Tojus sūtīja savu dēlu Joramu pie ķēniņa Dāvida, vaicāt pēc viņa labklāšanās un viņam pateikties par to, ka viņš pret HadadEzeru bija karojis un to bija kāvis, (jo Tojum bija karš ar HadadEzeru) un viņa rokā bija sudraba un zelta un vara trauki.
he sent his son Joram to greet King David and to (congratulate him/say that he was happy) about his army defeating Hadadezer’s army, which Toi’s [army] had fought many times. Joram brought to David many items/gifts made from gold, silver, and bronze.
11 Arī tos ķēniņš Dāvids svētīja Tam Kungam, līdz ar to sudrabu un zeltu, ko viņš bija svētījis no visām tautām, ko bija pārvarējis,
King David dedicated all those items to Yahweh. He also dedicated the silver and gold which his army had taken from the nations that they had conquered.
12 No Sīrijas un no Moaba un no Amona bērniem un no Fīlistiem un no Amalekiešiem un no HadadEzera, Rekaba dēla, Cobas ķēniņa, laupījuma.
They had taken items from the Edom people-group and the Moab people-group, from the Ammon people-group, from the Philistia people, and from [the descendants of] Amalek, as well as from the people that Hadadezer [previously] ruled.
13 Un Dāvids pelnījās augstu slavu, pārnākdams no Sīriešu kaušanas, kad sāls ielejā bija kāvis astoņpadsmit tūkstošus.
When David returned [after defeating the armies of Syria], he became more famous because his army killed 18,000 soldiers from the Edom people-group in the Salt Valley [near the Dead Sea].
14 Un viņš nolika karavīrus Edomā, visā Edomā viņš nolika karavīrus, un visi Edomieši palika Dāvidam par kalpiem, un Tas Kungs palīdzēja Dāvidam visur, kurp tas gāja.
David stationed (groups of his soldiers/army camps) throughout the Edom area, and forced the people there to accept him as their king. Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win battles wherever they went.
15 Tā Dāvids valdīja pār visu Israēli, un Dāvids nesa tiesu un taisnību visiem ļaudīm.
David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was fair and just.
16 Un Joabs, Cerujas dēls, bija karaspēka virsnieks un Jehošafats, Aķiluda dēls, bija kanclers,
Joab was the army commander; Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the man who reported to the people everything that David decided that they should do;
17 Un Cadoks, Aķitaba dēls, un Aķimeleks, Abjatara dēls, bija priesteris, un Serajus bija rakstu vedējs,
Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the priests; Seraiah was the official secretary;
18 Un Benajus, Jojadas dēls, bija virsnieks pār tiem Krietiem un Plietiem, bet Dāvida dēli bija lielkungi.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was the commander of (David’s bodyguards/the men who protected the king); and David’s sons were priests (OR, his administrators/advisors).
