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 Metheg–ammah 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 Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And so 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.
David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at 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 a thousand chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots.
5 Då Syria-folket frå Damaskus kom Soba-kongen Hadadezer til hjelp, slo David tvo og tjuge tusund Syria-menner.
And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty 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.
Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And Yhwh 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 brass.
9 Då Hamat-kongen To’i frette at David hadde vunne yver heile Hadadezer-heren,
When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the army 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.
Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:
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:
Which also king David did dedicate unto Yhwh, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;
12 frå syrarane, moabitarne, ammonitarne, filistarane og amalekitarne; like eins med herfanget frå Soba-kongen Hadadezer Rehobsson.
Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, 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 gat him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being 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 all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David’s servants. And Yhwh 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 unto all his people.
16 Joab Serujason var øvste herhovding. Josafat Ahiludsson var kanslar.
And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
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 the scribe;
18 Benaja Jojadason var hovding yver livvakti. Sønerne åt David var prestar.
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief rulers.
