1 Ebyomumirembe 20
1 Awo mu biro, bakabaka mwe bagenderanga okulwana, Yowaabu n’akulembera eggye, n’azisa ensi y’abaana ba Amoni, ate era n’azingiza Labba. Naye Dawudi ye n’asigala mu Yerusaalemi, Yowaabu ye n’alumba Labba, n’akizikiriza.
At the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, Joab led out the army and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. Joab struck Rabbah, and overthrew it.
2 Awo Dawudi n’addira engule eyali eya kabaka waabwe, obuzito bwayo kilo asatu mu nnya eza zaabu, nga mu yo baateekamu amayinja ag’omuwendo, n’agitikka ku mutwe. N’atwala n’omunyago mungi ddala okuva mu kibuga ekyo.
David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it. It was set on David’s head, and he brought very much plunder out of the city.
3 Yatwala abantu abaali mu kibuga ekyo n’abawa emirimu nga bakozesa n’emisumeeno, n’ensuuluulu, n’embazzi. Bw’atyo Dawudi bwe yakola ebibuga byonna eby’abaana ba Amoni, oluvannyuma ye n’eggye lye lyonna ne baddayo e Yerusaalemi.
He brought out the people who were in it, and had them cut with saws, with iron picks, and with axes. David did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
4 Awo olwatuuka oluvannyuma lw’ebyo ne wabalukawo entalo n’Abafirisuuti e Gezeri. Mu kiseera ekyo Sibbekayi Omukusasi n’atta Sippayi omu ku bazzukulu b’agasajja aganene ddala, era ne bawangula Abafirisuuti.
After this, war arose at Gezer with the Philistines. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, of the sons of the giant; and they were subdued.
5 Mu lutalo olulala n’Abafirisuuti, Erukanani mutabani wa Yayiri n’atta Lakani muganda wa Goliyaasi Omugitti, eyalina olunyago lw’effumu olwali ng’omuti ogulukirwako engoye.
Again there was war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
6 Mu lutalo olulala olwali e Gaasi, waaliwo omusajja omuwanvu ennyo eyali omu ku bazzukulu b’agasajja aganene, ng’alina engalo mukaaga ku buli mukono, n’obugere mukaaga ku buli kigere.
There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six on each hand and six on each foot; and he also was born to the giant.
7 Yasoomooza nnyo Isirayiri, era Yonasaani mutabani wa Simeeyi, muganda wa Dawudi n’amutta.
When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.
8 Abo bonna baali bazzukulu ba lisajja Laafa ow’e Gaasi, era bonna ne bagwa mu mikono gya Dawudi n’abasajja be.
These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
