2 Samwiri 8
1 Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo, Dawudi n’awangula Abafirisuuti, n’abafuula abaddu be, n’awamba n’ekibuga kyabwe ekikulu.
And it came to pass after this that David defeated the Philistines, and brought them down, and David took the bridle of tribute out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 Dawudi n’awangula n’Abamowaabu, n’alagira buli omu ku bo yebake wansi, n’abapimako n’olukoba olupima. Buli eyali ebipimo bibiri yattibwanga, naye oyo eyali ow’ebipimo ebisatu nga y’alama. Abamowaabu ne bafuuka baddu ba Dawudi ne bamuwanga obusuulu.
And he defeated Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the earth: and he measured with two lines, one to put to death, and one to save alive: and Moab was made to serve David under tribute.
3 Ate era Dawudi n’awangula Kadadezeri mutabani wa Lekobu, kabaka w’e Zoba, bwe yali nga yeddiza amatwale ge ku Mugga Fulaati.
David defeated also Adarezer the son of Rohob king of Soba, when he went to extend his dominion over the river Euphrates.
4 Dawudi n’awamba amagaali ga Kadadezeri lukumi, n’abeebagala embalaasi kasanvu, n’abaserikale ab’ebigere emitwalo ebiri. N’atema kumpi embalaasi zonna, n’azilemaza n’alekawo kikumi ku zo.
And David took from him a thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and houghed all the chariot horses: and only reserved of them for one hundred chariots.
5 Awo Abasuuli ab’e Ddamasiko ne bajja okubeera Kadadezeri kabaka w’e Zoba, naye Dawudi n’atta emitwalo ebiri mu enkumi bbiri ku bo.
And the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Adarezer the king of Soba: and David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
6 Dawudi n’assa ebibinja eby’abaserikale mu Busuuli e Ddamasiko, Abasuuli ne bafuuka baddu be, era ne bamuwanga obusuulu. Mukama n’awa Dawudi obuwanguzi buli gye yagendanga.
And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and Syria served David under tribute: and the Lord preserved David in all his enterprises, whithersoever he went.
7 Dawudi n’anyaga engabo eza zaabu ezasitulibwanga abaserikale ba Kadadezeri n’azireeta e Yerusaalemi.
And David took the arms of gold, which the servants of Adarezer wore, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Kabaka Dawudi n’anyaga n’ebikomo bingi ddala okuva mu Beta ne mu Berosayi, ebibuga ebyali ebya Kadadezeri.
And out of Bete, and out of Beroth, cities of Adarezer, king David took an exceeding great quantity of brass.
9 Awo Toyi kabaka w’e Kamasi bwe yawulira nga Dawudi awangudde eggye lyonna erya Kadadezeri,
And Thou the king of Emath heard that David had defeated all the forces of Adarezer.
10 n’atuma mutabani we Yolaamu eri kabaka Dawudi okumulamusaako, n’okumuyozaayoza okuwangula olutalo wakati we ne Kadadezeri. Kadadezeri yalwananga ne Toyi. Yolaamu n’amutwalira ebintu bya ffeeza ne zaabu n’ebikomo.
And Thou sent Joram his son to king David, to salute him, and to congratulate with him, and to return him thanks: because he had fought against Adarezer, and had defeated him. For Thou was an enemy to Adarezer, and in his hand were vessels of gold, and vessels of silver, and vessels of brass:
11 Kabaka Dawudi n’abiwonga eri Mukama, nga bwe yakola effeeza ne zaabu bye yaggya mu mawanga amalala ge yawangula.
And king David dedicated them to the Lord, together with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all the nations, which he had subdued:
12 Amawanga gaali: Busuuli, ne Mowaabu, n’Abamoni, n’Abafirisuuti ne Amaleki; n’awonga n’omunyago gwa Kadadezeri, mutabani wa Lekobu, kabaka w’e Zoba.
Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalec, and of the spoils of Adarezer the son of Rohob king of Soba.
13 Erinnya lya Dawudi ne litutumuka, bwe yakomawo okuva okutta Abasuuli omutwalo gumu mu kanaana mu kiwonvu eky’Omunnyo.
David also made himself a name, when he returned after taking Syria in the valley of the saltpits, killing eighteen thousand:
14 N’ateeka ebibinja bya baserikale mu Busuuli yonna, Abasuuli bonna ne bafuuka baddu ba Dawudi. Mukama n’awa Dawudi obuwanguzi buli gye yagendanga.
And he put guards in Edom, and placed there a garrison: and all Edom was made to serve David: and the Lord preserved David in all enterprises he went about.
15 Dawudi n’afuga Isirayiri yenna, ng’afuga abantu be bonna mu bwenkanya ne mu mazima.
And David reigned over all Israel: and David did judgment and justice to all his people.
16 Yowaabu mutabani wa Zeruyiya ye yali omuduumizi w’eggye, Yekosafaati mutabani wa Akirudi nga ye mujjukiza,
And Joab the son of Sarvia was over the army: and Josaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder:
17 Zadooki mutabani wa Akitubu ne Akimereki mutabani wa Abiyasaali nga be bakabona, Seroya nga ye muwandiisi,
And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests: and Saraias was the scribe:
18 Benaaya mutabani wa Yekoyaada nga ye mukulu w’Abakeresi n’Abaperesi abaakuumanga ba kabaka, batabani ba Dawudi nga be bawi ba magezi ab’obwakabaka.
And Banaias the son of Joiada was over the Cerethi and Phelethi: and the sons of David were the princes.
