1 Masolo ya Kala 18
1 Sima na yango, Davidi alongaki bato ya Filisitia mpe abukaki lolendo na bango. Abotolaki na maboko ya bato ya Filisitia engumba Gati elongo na bamboka na yango ya zingazinga.
After this it came about that David attacked the Philistines and defeated them. He took Gath and its villages out of the Philistines' control.
2 Davidi alongaki lisusu bato ya Moabi. Bato ya Moabi bakomaki bawumbu ya Davidi mpe bakomaki kofuta mpako ya mokonzi.
Then he defeated Moab, and the Moabites became servants to David and paid him tribute.
3 Davidi alongaki lisusu Adadezeri, mokonzi ya Tsoba, na engumba Amati, tango Adadezeri akendeki kovandisa bokonzi na ye pembeni ya ebale Efrate.
David then defeated Hadadezer, king of Zobah at Hamath, as Hadadezer was traveling to establish his rule by the Euphrates River.
4 Davidi abotolaki Adadezeri bashar nkoto moko, akangaki basoda nkoto sambo oyo babundaka bitumba likolo ya bampunda mpe basoda nkoto tuku mibale oyo babundaka bitumba na makolo; akataki misisa ya makolo ya bampunda nyonso, kasi atikaki kaka bampunda nkama moko oyo ezalaki kobenda bashario.
David captured from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen. David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them for a hundred chariots.
5 Tango bato ya Siri oyo bazalaki kovanda na engumba Damasi bayaki kosunga Adadezeri, mokonzi ya Tsoba, Davidi abomaki kati na bango bato nkoto tuku mibale.
When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand Aramean men.
6 Bongo Davidi atiaki bayangeli na ye kati na engumba Damasi ya Siri; boye bato ya Siri bakomaki na se ya bokonzi ya Davidi mpe bakomaki kofuta mpako epai na ye. Yawe azalaki kopesa Davidi elonga na bisika nyonso oyo azalaki kokende.
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 Davidi abotolaki banguba ya wolo oyo bakonzi ya basoda ya Adadezeri bazalaki na yango mpe amemaki yango na Yelusalemi.
David took the golden shields that were on Hadadezer's servants and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Na Tibati mpe na Kuni, bingumba ya mokonzi Adadezeri, Davidi azwaki bronze ebele oyo, na mikolo oyo elandaki, Salomo asalaki na yango nzungu ya monene, makonzi mpe bisalelo mosusu ya bronze.
From Tebah and Kun, cities of Hadadezer, David took very much bronze. It was with this bronze that Solomon later made the bronze basin called “The Sea,” the pillars, and the bronze equipment.
9 Tango Towu, mokonzi ya Amati, ayokaki ete Davidi alongi mampinga nyonso ya Adadezeri, mokonzi ya Tsoba,
When Tou, king of Hamath, heard that David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,
10 atindaki Adorami, mwana na ye ya mobali, kopesa mokonzi Davidi mbote mpe longonya mpo ete abundisaki mpe alongaki Adadezeri oyo azalaki monguna ya Towu. Adorami amemelaki Davidi lolenge nyonso ya biloko ya wolo, ya palata mpe ya bronze.
and so Tou sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him. He did this because David had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him, and because Tou had often been at war with Hadadezer. Tou also sent David many different sorts of articles made of gold and silver and bronze.
11 Mokonzi Davidi abulisaki biloko yango epai na Yawe, ndenge asalaki na wolo mpe palata oyo azwaki na bikolo nyonso, na Edomi, na Moabi, na Amoni, na Filisitia mpe na Amaleki.
King David set these objects apart to Yahweh, together with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations: Edom, Moab, the people of Ammon, the Philistines, and Amalek.
12 Abishayi, mwana mobali ya Tseruya, abomaki bato ya Edomi nkoto zomi na mwambe, kati na Lubwaku ya Mungwa.
Abishai son of Zeruiah killed eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
13 Davidi atiaki bayangeli kati na Edomi, mpe bato nyonso ya Edomi bakomaki bawumbu ya Davidi. Yawe apesaki Davidi elonga na bisika nyonso oyo azalaki kokende.
He placed garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became David's servants. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.
14 Davidi azalaki mokonzi ya Isalaele mobimba, mpe azalaki kosalela bato na ye nyonso makambo ya sembo mpe ya alima.
David reigned over all Israel, and he administered justice and righteousness to all his people.
15 Joabi, mwana mobali ya Tseruya, azalaki mokonzi ya liboso ya mampinga; Jozafati, mwana mobali ya Ayiludi, azalaki mobombi mikanda;
Joab son of Zeruiah was the commander of the army, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was recorder.
16 Tsadoki, mwana mobali ya Ayitubi, mpe Abimeleki, mwana mobali ya Abiatari, bazalaki Banganga-Nzambe; Shavisha azalaki mokomi mikanda;
Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests, and Shavsha was scribe.
17 Benaya, mwana mobali ya Yeoyada, azalaki kokamba bato ya Kereti mpe ya Peleti; mpe bana mibali ya Davidi bazalaki bakalaka ya liboso pembeni ya mokonzi.
Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Kerethites and Pelethites, and David's sons were the chief officials at the hand of the king.
