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 ।
In spring, at the time of year when kings go out to make war, Joab led the Israelite army in attacks against the country of the Ammonites, also besieging Rabbah. However, David remained behind in Jerusalem. Joab attacked 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 ।
David took the crown from the head of their idol Milcom. It was made of gold, and was set with gems. It weighed a talent and was placed on David's head. David also took a great deal of plunder from the city.
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 ।
David made the people there work with saws, iron picks, and axes. He also did the same to all the Ammonite towns. Then David and all his army returned to Jerusalem.
4 यसको केही समयपछि गेजेरमा पलिश्तीहरूसँग लडाइँ भयो । हूशाती सिब्बकैले रपाईहरूका सन्तानमध्ये एक सिप्पैलाई मारे, र पलिश्तीहरूलाई अधीन गरियो ।
Some time after this was broke out with the Philistines at Gezer. But then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, a descendant of the Rephaim, and the Philistines were forced to submit.
5 पलिश्तीहरूसँगको अर्को एउटा युद्धमा याईरका छोरा एल्हानानले गित्तीको गोल्यतको भाइ लहमीलाई मारे, जसको भालाको बींड कपडा बुन्ने जुलाहाको डन्डा जत्रो थियो ।
In another battle with the Philistines, Elhanan, son of Jair, killed Lahmi, the brother of Goliath the Gittite. The shaft of his spear was as thick as a weaver's rod.
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 ।
In yet another battle at Gath, there was a gigantic man, who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, making twenty-four all. He too was descended from the giants.
7 जब त्यसले इस्राएललाई निन्दा गर्यो, तब दाऊदका दाजु शिमेअका छोरा जोनाथनले त्यसलाई मारे ।
But when he insulted Israel, Jonathan, 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 the descendants of the giants in Gath, abut they were all killed by David and his men.
