2 Samuel 8
1 Ei tid deretter vann David yver filistarane og lagde deim under seg. David fekk dermed teke taumarne yver hovudstaden utor henderne på filistarne.
And after this it came to pass that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them; and David took the power of the capital out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 So vann han yver moabitarne; deim mælte han med ei snor, det vil segja: han let deim leggja seg ned på marki, og mælte med tvo snorlengder deim som skulde lata livet, og med ei snorlengd deim som skulde liva. Moabitarne vart David undergjevne og laut leggja skatt.
And he smote the Moabites, and measured them with a line, making them lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. And the Moabites became David's servants, [and] brought gifts.
3 Dessutan vann David yver Soba-kongen Hadadezer Rehobsson, då han for i herferd og vilde tøygja magti si alt til Storelvi.
And David smote Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his dominion by the river Euphrates.
4 David tok syttan hundrad hestfolk og tjuge tusund fotfolk. Og David let skjera sund hasarne på alle vognhestarne, sparde berre hundrad hestar.
And David took from him one thousand seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen; and David houghed all the chariot [horses], but reserved of them [for] a hundred chariots.
5 Då Syria-folket frå Damaskus kom Soba-kongen Hadadezer til hjelp, slo David tvo og tjuge tusund Syria-menner.
And the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, and David smote of the Syrians twenty-two thousand men.
6 David sette hervakter yver syrarane i Damaskus, og Syria-folket vart David undergjevne og laut leggja skatt. Soleis gav Herren David siger kvar helst han for fram.
And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, [and] brought gifts. And Jehovah preserved David whithersoever he went.
7 David tok dei gylte skjoldarne som Hadadezer-folki hadde bore, og førde til Jerusalem.
And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Og frå Hadadezer-byarne Betah og Berotai tok kong David store mengder av kopar.
And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much bronze.
9 Då Hamat-kongen To’i frette at David hadde vunne yver heile Hadadezer-heren,
And Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the forces of Hadadezer;
10 sende han Joram, son sin, til kong David til å helsa på honom og ynskja honom til lukka med krigen mot Hadadezer og med sigeren yver honom - for Hadadeser hadde jamt ført krig mot To’i - og han hadde med seg kostnadting av sylv, av gull og av kopar.
and Toi sent Joram his son to king David, to inquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and smitten him; for Hadadezer was continually at war with Toi. And he brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze.
11 Kong David vigde deim og til Herren, like eins som han hadde gjort med sylvet og gullet frå folki han hadde lagt under seg:
Them also king David dedicated to Jehovah, with the silver and the gold that he had dedicated of all the nations that he had subdued:
12 frå syrarane, moabitarne, ammonitarne, filistarane og amalekitarne; like eins med herfanget frå Soba-kongen Hadadezer Rehobsson.
of the Syrians, and of the Moabites, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of the Amalekites, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
13 Då David kom heim etter sigeren yver syrarane, auka han frægdi si med di han slo attan tusund mann i Saltdalen.
And David made him a name when he returned, after he had smitten the Syrians in the valley of salt, eighteen thousand [men].
14 Han sette hervakter yver Edom; i heile Edomlandet sette han vakter; og alle edomitarne vart David undergjevne. Soleis gav Herren David siger kvar helst han drog fram.
And he put garrisons in Edom: throughout Edom did he put garrisons; and all they of Edom became servants to David. And Jehovah preserved David whithersoever he went.
15 David var no konge yver heile Israel. Og David skipa lov og rett for heile folket sitt.
And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice to all his people.
16 Joab Serujason var øvste herhovding. Josafat Ahiludsson var kanslar.
And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was chronicler;
17 Sadok Ahitubsson og Ahimelek Abjatarsson var prestar. Og Seraja var riksskrivar.
and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Seraiah was scribe;
18 Benaja Jojadason var hovding yver livvakti. Sønerne åt David var prestar.
