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 ।
Now it happened that, after the course of a year, in the time when kings usually go forth to war, Joab gathered an army with experienced soldiers, and he laid waste to the land of the sons of Ammon. And he continued on and besieged Rabbah. But David was staying in Jerusalem when Joab struck Rabbah and destroyed 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 ।
Then David took the crown of Milcom from his head, and he found in it the weight of one talent of gold, and very precious gems. And he made for himself a diadem from it. Also, he took the best spoils of the city, which were very many.
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 ।
Then he led away the people who were in it. And he caused plows, and sleds, and iron chariots to go over them, so much so that they were cut apart and crushed. So did David treat all the cities of the sons of Ammon. And he returned with all his people to Jerusalem.
4 यसको केही समयपछि गेजेरमा पलिश्तीहरूसँग लडाइँ भयो । हूशाती सिब्बकैले रपाईहरूका सन्तानमध्ये एक सिप्पैलाई मारे, र पलिश्तीहरूलाई अधीन गरियो ।
After these things, a war was begun at Gezer against the Philistines, in which Sibbecai the Hushathite struck Sippai from the race of the Rephaim, and he humbled them.
5 पलिश्तीहरूसँगको अर्को एउटा युद्धमा याईरका छोरा एल्हानानले गित्तीको गोल्यतको भाइ लहमीलाई मारे, जसको भालाको बींड कपडा बुन्ने जुलाहाको डन्डा जत्रो थियो ।
Also, another war was undertaken against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus, a son of the forest, a Bethlehemite, struck the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the wood 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 ।
Then too, another war occurred in Gath, in which there was a very tall man, having six digits, that is, all together twenty-four. This man too was born from the stock of the Rephaim.
7 जब त्यसले इस्राएललाई निन्दा गर्यो, तब दाऊदका दाजु शिमेअका छोरा जोनाथनले त्यसलाई मारे ।
He blasphemed Israel. And Jonathan, the son of Shimea, the brother of David, struck him down.
8 तिनीहरू गातका रफाका सन्तानहरू थिए, र तिनीहरू सबै दाऊदका हातबाट र तिनका सिपाहीहरूका हातबाट मारिए ।
These were the sons of the Rephaim in Gath, who fell by the hand of David and his servants.
