< १ इतिहास 20 >

1 बसन्‍त ऋतुको समय, अर्थात् समान्‍यतया राजाहरू लडाइँ गर्न जाने समयमा योआबले सेनालाई युद्ध गर्न लगे र अम्‍मोनीहरूको देशलाई उजाड पारे । तिनले गए र रब्‍बालाई घेरा हाले । दाऊदचाहिं यरूशलेममा नै रहे । योआबले रब्बालाई आक्रमण गरे र त्यसलाई पराजित गरे ।
And it came to pass, at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that Joab led forth the army, and wasted the country of the sons of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah, but David remained at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and overthrew it.
2 दाऊदले उनीहरूका राजाको शिरबाट शिरपेच लगे, र त्‍यसको तौल सुनको एक तोडा भएको भेट्टाए, र त्‍यसमा बहुमूल्‍य रत्‍नहरू जडिएका थिए । त्‍यो शिरपेच दाऊदको आफ्‍नो शिरमा लाइयो, र तिनले त्‍यस सहरबाट धेरै परिणाममा लुटपाट गरे ।
And 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. And it was set upon David's head, and he brought forth the spoil of the city, exceedingly much.
3 त्‍यस सहरमा भएका मानिसहरूलाई तिनले लिएर आए र उनीहरूलाई आरा र फलामका औजारहरू तथा बन्‍चराहरूका काममा लगाए । दाऊदले अम्‍मोनीहरूका सबै सहरका मानिसहरूलाई यस्‍तो कामका लगाए । तब दाऊद र तिनका सबै सेना यरूशलेममा फर्के ।
And he brought forth the people that were therein, and cut with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. And thus David did to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
4 यसको केही समयपछि गेजेरमा पलिश्‍तीहरूसँग लडाइँ भयो । हूशाती सिब्‍बकैले रपाईहरूका सन्‍तानमध्‍ये एक सिप्‍पैलाई मारे, र पलिश्‍तीहरूलाई अधीन गरियो ।
And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai of the sons of the giant, and they were subdued.
5 पलिश्‍तीहरूसँगको अर्को एउटा युद्धमा याईरका छोरा एल्‍हानानले गित्तीको गोल्‍यतको भाइ लहमीलाई मारे, जसको भालाको बींड कपडा बुन्‍ने जुलाहाको डन्‍डा जत्रो थियो ।
And there was again 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 गातमा भएको अर्को युद्धमा हरेक हातमा छवटा औंला र हरेक खुट्टामा छवटा औंला भएको एक जना धेरै अग्लो मानिस थियो । त्‍यो पनि रफाको सन्‍तान थियो ।
And there was again war at Gath, where was a man of great stature whose fingers and toes were twenty-four, six on each hand, and six on each foot. And he also was born to the giant.
7 जब त्‍यसले इस्राएललाई निन्‍दा गर्‍यो, तब दाऊदका दाजु शिमेअका छोरा जोनाथनले त्‍यसलाई मारे ।
And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother killed him.
8 तिनीहरू गातका रफाका सन्‍तानहरू थिए, र तिनीहरू सबै दाऊदका हातबाट र तिनका सिपाहीहरूका हातबाट मारिए ।
These were born to the giant in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
