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 it came to pass after this, that David smote the Philistines, and humbled them: and David took Metheg-haammah 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, laying them down on the ground; and he measured with two lines to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And the Moabites became David's servants, bringing presents.
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 Hadad'ezer, the son of Rechob, the king of Zobah, as he went to extend his territory 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 captured from him a thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand men on foot: and David hamstringed all the chariot-teams, but reserved of them a hundred chariot-teams.
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 then came to aid Hadad'ezer, the king of Zobah, when David slew of the Syrians twenty and 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, bearing presents. And the Lord helped 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 belonged to the servants of Hadad'ezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Og frå Hadadezer-byarne Betah og Berotai tok kong David store mengder av kopar.
And from Betach, and from Berothai, cities of Hadad'ezer, did king David take exceedingly much copper.
9 Då Hamat-kongen To’i frette at David hadde vunne yver heile Hadadezer-heren,
And when To'i the king of Chamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadad'ezer,
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 did To'i send Yoram his son unto king David, to ask him after his well-being, and to bless him, because that he had fought against Hadad'ezer, and smitten him; for Hadad'ezer had been engaged in wars with To'i; and he had in his hand vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of copper:
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:
These also did king David sanctify unto the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had sanctified from all the nations which he subdued;
12 frå syrarane, moabitarne, ammonitarne, filistarane og amalekitarne; like eins med herfanget frå Soba-kongen Hadadezer Rehobsson.
From Syria, and from Moab, and from the children of 'Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from 'Amalek, and from the spoil of Hadad'ezer, the son of Rechob, the 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 acquired a name when he returned from his smiting 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 all Edom put he garrisons, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the Lord helped 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 did what is just and right unto all his people.
16 Joab Serujason var øvste herhovding. Josafat Ahiludsson var kanslar.
And Joab the son of Zeruyah was over the army; and Jehoshaphat the son of Achilud was recorder;
17 Sadok Ahitubsson og Ahimelek Abjatarsson var prestar. Og Seraja var riksskrivar.
And Zadok the son of Achitub, and Achimelech the son of Ebyathar, were priests; and Serayah was scribe;
18 Benaja Jojadason var hovding yver livvakti. Sønerne åt David var prestar.
And Banayahu the son of Yehoyada' was over both the Kerethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were officers of state.
