1 Kwasekusithi emva kwalokho uDavida watshaya amaFilisti, wawehlisela phansi; uDavida wasethatha iMethegama esandleni samaFilisti.
And it comes to pass afterward that David strikes the Philistines, and humbles them, and David takes the bridle of the metropolis out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 Wasetshaya amaMowabi, wawalinganisa ngentambo, ewalalisa emhlabathini; walinganisa intambo ezimbili ukubulala, lentambo epheleleyo ukuwayekela ephila. Ngokunjalo amaMowabi aba zinceku zikaDavida, eletha izipho.
And he strikes Moab, and measures them with a line, causing them to lie down on the earth, and he measures two lines to put to death, and the fullness of the line to keep alive, and the Moabites are for servants to David, bearers of a present.
3 UDavida wasetshaya uHadadezeri indodana kaRehobi inkosi yeZoba, ekuhambeni kwakhe ukubuyisela amandla akhe emfuleni iYufrathi.
And David strikes Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, in his going to bring back his power by the River [Euphrates];
4 UDavida wasethumba kuye inqola eziyinkulungwane, labagadi bamabhiza abangamakhulu ayisikhombisa, lamadoda ahamba ngenyawo ayizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili; waquma imisipha yawo wonke amabhiza enqola, kodwa watshiya kuwo izinqola ezilikhulu.
and David captures from him one thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and David utterly destroys the whole of the charioteers; he leaves only one hundred of their charioteers.
5 Lapho amaSiriya aweDamaseko efika ukusiza uHadadezeri inkosi yeZoba, uDavida watshaya amadoda ayizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lambili kumaSiriya.
And Aram of Damascus comes to give help to Hadadezer king of Zobah, and David strikes twenty-two thousand men of Aram;
6 UDavida wasebeka amabutho enqaba eSiriya yeDamaseko; njalo amaSiriya aba zinceku zikaDavida, eletha izipho. INkosi yasimlondoloza uDavida loba ngaphi lapho aya khona.
and David puts garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and Aram is for a servant to David, carrying a present; and YHWH saves David wherever he has gone;
7 UDavida wasethatha izihlangu zegolide ezazisezincekwini zikaHadadezeri, waziletha eJerusalema.
and David takes the shields of gold which were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brings them to Jerusalem;
8 Inkosi uDavida yasithatha ithusi elinengi kakhulu eBeta leBerothayi, imizi kaHadadezeri.
and from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David has taken very much bronze.
9 Lapho uToyi inkosi yeHamathi esizwa ukuthi uDavida wayetshaye ibutho lonke likaHadadezeri,
And Toi king of Hamath hears that David has struck all the force of Hadadezer,
10 uToyi wasethuma uJoramu indodana yakhe enkosini uDavida ukuyibuza impilo lokuyibusisa, ngoba yayilwe loHadadezeri yamtshaya (ngoba uHadadezeri waba lezimpi loToyi); njalo esandleni sakhe kwakulezitsha zesiliva lezitsha zegolide lezitsha zethusi.
and Toi sends his son Joram to King David to ask of him of welfare, and to bless him (because that he has fought against Hadadezer, and strikes him, for Hadadezer had been a man of wars [with] Toi), and in his hand have been vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze,
11 Lazo inkosi uDavida yazehlukanisela iNkosi kanye lesiliva legolide eyayilehlukanisile livela ezizweni zonke eyayizehlisele phansi,
also King David sanctified them to YHWH, with the silver and the gold which he sanctified of all the nations which he subdued:
12 eSiriya, lakoMowabi, lakubantwana bakoAmoni, lakumaFilisti, leAmaleki, lempangweni kaHadadezeri indodana kaRehobi, inkosi yeZoba.
of Aram, and of Moab, and of the sons of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob king of Zobah.
13 UDavida wasezenzela ibizo ekubuyeni kwakhe ekutshayeni amaSiriya, esihotsheni seTshwayi, izinkulungwane ezilitshumi lesificaminwembili.
And David makes a name in his turning back from his striking Aram in the Valley of Salt—eighteen thousand;
14 Wasebeka inqaba zamabutho eEdoma; kuyo yonke iEdoma wabeka inqaba zamabutho, labo bonke abeEdoma baba zinceku zikaDavida. INkosi yasimlondoloza uDavida loba ngaphi lapho aya khona.
and he puts garrisons in Edom—he has put garrisons in all of Edom, and all Edom are servants to David; and YHWH saves David wherever he has gone.
15 UDavida wabusa-ke phezu kukaIsrayeli wonke; uDavida wayesenza ukwahlulela lokulunga kubo bonke abantu bakhe.
And David reigns over all Israel, and David is doing judgment and righteousness to all his people,
16 Njalo uJowabi indodana kaZeruya wayephezu kwebutho; loJehoshafathi indodana kaAhiludi wayengumabhalane;
and Joab son of Zeruiah [is] over the host, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] remembrancer,
17 loZadoki indodana kaAhitubi loAhimeleki indodana kaAbhiyatha babengabapristi; loSeraya wayengumbhali;
and Zadok son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech son of Abiathar, [are] priests, and Seraiah [is] scribe,
18 loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyadawayephezu kwamaKerethi lamaPelethi; lamadodana kaDavida ayeyiziphathamandla.
and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is over] both the Cherethite and the Pelethite, and the sons of David have been ministers.
