१ इतिहास 18
1 यसपछि दाऊदले पलिश्तीहरूलाई आक्रमण गरे र तिनीहरूलाई जिते । तिनले गात र त्यसका वरिपरिका गाउँहरू तिनीहरूबाट लिए ।
Some time later, David’s [army] attacked the army of Philistia and defeated them. They captured Gath [city] and the surrounding villages.
2 तब तिनले मोआबलाई जिते र मोआबीहरू तिनका सेवक भए र तिनलाई कर तिरे ।
His [army] also defeated [the army of] the Moab [people-group]. The people were forced to accept David as their ruler, and also to pay money [each year to David’s government, in order that David’s army would protect them].
3 सोबाका राजा हददेजेर यूफ्रेटिस नदीको किनारमा आफ्नो राज्य स्थापित गर्न जाँदै गर्दा दाऊदले हददेजेरलाई हमातमा पराजित गरे ।
David’s [army] also fought against [the army of] Hadadezer, the king of [the] Zobah [region in Syria] near Hamath [city], when Hadadezer was trying to establish control over the area near the Euphrates River.
4 एक हजार रथहरू, सात हजार घोडचढीहरू र बीस हजार पैदल सिपाहीहरूलाई दाऊदले तिनीबाट कब्जा गरे । दाऊदले रथका सबै घोडाका नशा काटे, तर सयवटा रथहरूका लागि आवश्यक पर्ने घोडाहरू मात्र बचाएर राखे ।
David’s [army] captured 1,000 of Hadadezer’s chariots, 7,000 chariot-drivers, and 20,000 soldiers. They hamstrung/crippled most of their horses; there were only 100 horses that they did not cripple.
5 जब सोबाका राजा हददेजेरलाई सहायता गर्न दमस्कसका अरामीहरू आए, तब दाऊदले बाईस हजार जना अरामीलाई मारे ।
When the army of Syria came from Damascus [city] to help Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.
6 तब दाऊदले दमस्कसमा अराममा सेनाको छाउनी राखे, र आरामीहरू तिनका सेवक भए र तिनलाई कर तिरे । दाऊद जहाँ गए त्यहाँ परमप्रभुले तिनलाई विजयी दिनुभयो ।
Then David stationed groups of his soldiers in Damascus, and the people of Syria were forced to accept David as their ruler, and to pay to David’s government [each year] the payment/tax that he demanded. And Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win battles everywhere they went.
7 हददेजेरका सेवकहरूले भिरेका सुनका ढालहरू दाऊदले खोसे र ती यरूशलेममा ल्याए ।
David soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by the officers of Hadadezer’s [army] and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 तिनले हददेजेरका सहरहरू तेबह र कूनबाट पनि धेरै मात्रामा काँसा ल्याए । यसैबाट सोलोमनले पछि “खड्कुँलो” भनिने काँसाको एउटा विशाल बाटा, स्तम्भहरू र काँसाका विभिन्न भाँडाहरू बनाए ।
They also brought from Tebah (OR, Tibhath) and Cun, two towns that belonged to Hadadezer, a lot of bronze, which [David’s son] Solomon [later] used to make the huge bronze basin and the pillars and other bronze items [for the temple].
9 जब दाऊदले सोबाका राजा हददेजेरका जम्मै सेनालाई परास्त गरेको कुरा हमातका राजा तोऊले सुने,
When Tou, the king of Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
10 तब दाऊद राजालाई अभिवादन गर्न र बधाई दिन तोऊले आफ्ना छोरा हदोरमलाई तिनीकहाँ पठाए । दाऊदले हददेजेरलाई आक्रमण गरेको र पराजित गरेको, अनि हददेजेर र तोऊका बिचमा प्राय युद्ध चल्ने गरेको कारण तिनले यसो गरे । तोऊले सुन, चाँदी र काँसबाट बनेका विभिन्न किसिमका सरसामान पनि दाऊदकहाँ पठाए ।
he sent his son Hadoram to King David, to greet him and (congratulate him/tell him that he was happy) about his defeating Hadadezer’s army, which had been fighting [the army of] Tou. Hadoram brought to David many items/gifts made of gold, silver, and bronze.
11 दाऊद राजाले यी भाँडाहरू परमप्रभुको निम्ति अलग गरे, साथमा तिनले सबै जातिहरूः एदोम, मोआब, अम्मोनका मानिसहरू, पलिश्तीहरू र अमालेकबाट लिएका सुन र चाँदी पनि अगल गरे ।
King David dedicated those things to Yahweh, like he had done with the silver and gold that his soldiers had taken from [the] Edom and Moab [people-groups], and from the Ammon people-group and from the people of Philistia, and from [the descendants of] Amalek.
12 सरूयाहका छोरा अबीशैले नूनको उपत्यकामा अठाह्र हजार एदोमीलाई मारे ।
[One of David’s army commanders, ] Abishai, whose mother was Zeruiah, went with his army and killed 18,000 soldiers from Edom in the Salt Valley.
13 तिनले एदोममा सेनाको छाउनी राखे, र सबै एदोमी अब दाऊदका सेवक भए । दाऊद जहाँ गए त्यहाँ परमप्रभुले तिनलाई विजय दिनुभयो ।
Then David stationed groups of his soldiers there in Edom, and the people of Edom were forced to accept David as their king and to pay money to David’s government [every year]. And Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win battles wherever they went.
14 दाऊदले सारा इस्राएलमाथि राज्य गरे, र आफ्ना सबै मानिसहरूको न्याय र धार्मकता कायम गरे ।
David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was just and fair.
15 सरूयाहका छोरा योआब सेनाका कमाण्डर थिए, र अहीलूदका छोरा यहोशापात लेखापाल थिए ।
