2 Samwiri 8
1 Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo, Dawudi n’awangula Abafirisuuti, n’abafuula abaddu be, n’awamba n’ekibuga kyabwe ekikulu.
And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Methegammah 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 smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines he measured to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David’s servants, and brought gifts.
3 Ate era Dawudi n’awangula Kadadezeri mutabani wa Lekobu, kabaka w’e Zoba, bwe yali nga yeddiza amatwale ge ku Mugga Fulaati.
David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at 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 chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an 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 when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, 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.
Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And the LORD preserved David wherever he went.
7 Dawudi n’anyaga engabo eza zaabu ezasitulibwanga abaserikale ba Kadadezeri n’azireeta e Yerusaalemi.
And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, 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 from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took very much brass.
9 Awo Toyi kabaka w’e Kamasi bwe yawulira nga Dawudi awangudde eggye lyonna erya Kadadezeri,
When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,
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.
Then Toi sent Joram his son to king David, to greet him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:
11 Kabaka Dawudi n’abiwonga eri Mukama, nga bwe yakola effeeza ne zaabu bye yaggya mu mawanga amalala ge yawangula.
Which also king David dedicated to the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he 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 Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
13 Erinnya lya Dawudi ne litutumuka, bwe yakomawo okuva okutta Abasuuli omutwalo gumu mu kanaana mu kiwonvu eky’Omunnyo.
And David made him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men.
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 garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom he put garrisons, and all they of Edom became David’s servants. And the LORD preserved David wherever he went.
15 Dawudi n’afuga Isirayiri yenna, ng’afuga abantu be bonna mu bwenkanya ne mu mazima.
And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed 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 Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
17 Zadooki mutabani wa Akitubu ne Akimereki mutabani wa Abiyasaali nga be bakabona, Seroya nga ye muwandiisi,
And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Seraiah 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 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief rulers.
