1 Ebyomumirembe 18
1 Awo oluvannyuma lw’ebyo, Dawudi n’awangula Abafirisuuti, era n’awamba ne Gaasi n’ebyalo ebyali bikyetoolodde okuva mu mukono gw’Abafirisuuti.
Some time later, David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and he captured Gath and its nearby towns from the Philistines.
2 Dawudi n’awangula n’Abamowaabu, ne bafuuka baddu be, ne bamuwanga obusuulu.
David also defeated the Moabites, making them subject to him and requiring them to pay taxes.
3 Ate era Dawudi yalwanagana ne Kadalezeri kabaka w’e Zoba okutuukira ddala e Kamasi, bwe yali ng’anyweza okufuga kwe ku nsalo ey’Omugga Fulaati.
David then defeated Hadadezer, king of Zobah, near Hamath, as he tried enforce his control along the Euphrates River.
4 Dawudi n’amuwambako amagaali lukumi, n’abeebagala embalaasi abasajja kasanvu, n’abasajja abeebigere emitwalo ebiri. Embalaasi endala zonna ez’amagaali n’azitema enteega, ne yeerekerawo kikumi.
David captured from him 1,000 chariots, 7,000 charioteers, and 20,000 foot soldiers. David hamstrung all the chariot horses—except he saved enough for 100 chariots.
5 Awo Abasuuli ab’e Ddamasiko bwe bajja okudduukirira Kadalezeri kabaka w’e Zoba, Dawudi n’abattamu abantu emitwalo ebiri mu enkumi bbiri.
When the Arameans from Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed 22,000 of them.
6 N’ateeka olusiisira lw’eggye lye mu Busuuli e Ddamasiko, era Abasuuli baafuuka baweereza be, ne bamutonera ebirabo. Mukama n’awa Dawudi obuwanguzi buli gye yatabaalanga.
David placed forces in the Aramean town of Damascus, and also made them subject to him and required them to pay taxes. The Lord gave David victories wherever he went.
7 Dawudi n’atwala engabo eza zaabu abaserikale ba Kadalezeri ze baasitulanga, n’azireeta e Yerusaalemi.
David took the shields of gold that were carried by Hadadezer's officers and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Mu Tibukasi ne mu Kuni, ebibuga ebyali ebya Kadadezeri n’aggyayo ebikomo bingi nnyo, era ebyo Sulemaani bye yakolamu ennyanja ey’ekikomo, n’empagi, n’ebintu eby’ebikomo ebirala.
David also took a large quantity of bronze from Tibhath and from Cun, towns that had belonged to Hadadezer. Solomon used that bronze to make the bronze sea, the columns, and the various bronze objects.
9 Awo kabaka Toowu ow’e Kamasi bwe yawulira nga Dawudi awangudde eggye lyonna erya Kadadezeri, kabaka w’e Zoba
When Tou, king of Hamath, learned that David had destroyed the entire army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah,
10 n’atuma mutabani we Kadolaamu eri kabaka Dawudi okumulamusaako n’okumuyozaayoza okuwangula olutalo wakati we ne Kadadezeri, kubanga Kadadezeri yalwananga ne Toowu. Kadolaamu yaleeta zaabu, n’effeeza, n’ebikomo, nga bya ngeri za ngyawulo.
he sent his son Hadoram to David to make friends with him and to congratulate him on his victory in battle over Hadadezer. Tou and Hadadezer had often been at war. Hadoram brought gifts of gold, silver, and bronze.
11 Ebintu byonna ebyaleetebwa, kabaka Dawudi yabiwonga eri Mukama, nga bwe yakola effeeza ne zaabu gye yawamba ku mawanga amalala nga Edomu ne Mowaabu, n’Abamoni, n’Abafirisuuti, ne Amaleki.
King David dedicated these gifts to the Lord, along with the silver and gold he had taken from all the following nations: Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalekites.
12 Ye Abisaayi mutabani wa Zeruyiya yattira abasajja ba Edomu omutwalo gumu mu kanaana mu Kiwonvu eky’Omunnyo.
Abishai, son of Zeruiah, killed 18,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
13 Era yateeka olusiisira lw’abaserikale mu Edomu, era aba Edomu bonna ne bafuuka baweereza ba Dawudi. Mukama n’awa Dawudi obuwanguzi mu bifo byonna gye yatabaalanga.
He set up army posts in Edom, and all the Edomites became subject to David. The Lord gave David victories wherever he went.
14 Dawudi n’afuga Isirayiri yenna, mu bwenkanya ne mu butuukirivu abantu be bonna.
David ruled over all Israel. He did what was fair and right for all his people.
15 Yowaabu mutabani wa Seruyiya ye yali omuduumizi w’eggye; Yekosafaati mutabani wa Akirudi nga ye mujjukiza;
Joab, son of Zeruiah, was the army commander, while Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, kept the official records.
16 Zadooki mutabani wa Akitubu ne Abimereki mutabani wa Abiyasaali be baali bakabona; Savusa ye yali muwandiisi;
Zadok, son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech, son of Abiathar, were the priests, while Shavsha was secretary.
17 Benaya mutabani wa Yekoyaada ye yakuliranga Abakeresi n’Abaperesi; ate batabani ba Dawudi baali bakungu bakulu ddala era nga babeera ku lusegere lwa kabaka.
Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, was in charge of the Kerethites and Pelethites; and David's sons were at the king's side, serving as his chief officials.
