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.
Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 Dawudi n’awangula n’Abamowaabu, ne bafuuka baddu be, ne bamuwanga obusuulu.
And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David’s servants, [and] brought gifts.
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.
And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
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.
And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also houghed all the chariot [horses], but reserved of them an hundred chariots.
5 Awo Abasuuli ab’e Ddamasiko bwe bajja okudduukirira Kadalezeri kabaka w’e Zoba, Dawudi n’abattamu abantu emitwalo ebiri mu enkumi bbiri.
And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
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.
Then David put [garrisons] in Syria-damascus; and the Syrians became David’s servants, [and] brought gifts. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
7 Dawudi n’atwala engabo eza zaabu abaserikale ba Kadalezeri ze baasitulanga, n’azireeta e Yerusaalemi.
And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, 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.
Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
9 Awo kabaka Toowu ow’e Kamasi bwe yawulira nga Dawudi awangudde eggye lyonna erya Kadadezeri, kabaka w’e Zoba
Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer 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 Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with Tou; ) and [with him] all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.
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.
Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all [these] nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
12 Ye Abisaayi mutabani wa Zeruyiya yattira abasajja ba Edomu omutwalo gumu mu kanaana mu Kiwonvu eky’Omunnyo.
Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.
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.
And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David’s servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
14 Dawudi n’afuga Isirayiri yenna, mu bwenkanya ne mu butuukirivu abantu be bonna.
So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.
15 Yowaabu mutabani wa Seruyiya ye yali omuduumizi w’eggye; Yekosafaati mutabani wa Akirudi nga ye mujjukiza;
And Joab the son of Zeruiah [was] over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder.
16 Zadooki mutabani wa Akitubu ne Abimereki mutabani wa Abiyasaali be baali bakabona; Savusa ye yali muwandiisi;
And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, [were] the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;
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.
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was] over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David [were] chief about the king.
