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 ।
It happened, at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, that Joab led forth the army, and wasted the country of the people of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. Joab struck 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 ।
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 on David's head: and he brought forth the spoil of the city, a very great amount.
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 ।
He brought forth the people who were in it, and set them to work with saws, and with iron picks, and with axes. David did so to all the cities of the people of Ammon. 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 ।
Now it happened afterward that there was again war with the Philistines at Gezer; then Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Saph, a descendant of the Rephaim; 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 ।
There was again war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed 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 ।
There was again war at Gath, where there 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 descended from the Raphah.
7 जब त्यसले इस्राएललाई निन्दा गर्यो, तब दाऊदका दाजु शिमेअका छोरा जोनाथनले त्यसलाई मारे ।
When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah 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 Raphah in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
