ପ୍ରଥମ ବଂଶାବଳୀ 20
1 ଏଥିଉତ୍ତାରେ ବର୍ଷର ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତନ ସମୟରେ ରାଜାମାନେ ଯୁଦ୍ଧକୁ ଯିବା ବେଳେ, ଯୋୟାବ ସୈନ୍ୟଦଳ ନେଇ ଅମ୍ମୋନ-ସନ୍ତାନଗଣର ଦେଶ ଉଚ୍ଛିନ୍ନ କଲା ଓ ରବ୍ବାକୁ ଯାଇ ତାହା ଅବରୋଧ କଲା। ମାତ୍ର, ଦାଉଦ ଯିରୂଶାଲମରେ ରହିଲେ। ଏଥିମଧ୍ୟରେ ଯୋୟାବ ରବ୍ବାକୁ ଆଘାତ କରି ଭୂମିସାତ୍ କଲା।
[In that region], kings usually went [with their armies] to fight [their enemies] (in the springtime/when the cold season ended). But that year, David [did not do that. Instead, he] stayed in Jerusalem, and he sent [his commander] Joab [to lead the army]. Joab took his troops. They [crossed the Jordan River and] ruined the land of the Ammon people-group. Then they went to Rabbah, [the capital city, ] and surrounded it. David stayed in Jerusalem [for a while. But later he took more troops and went to help] Joab. Their armies attacked Rabbah and destroyed it.
2 ପୁଣି, ଦାଉଦ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ରାଜାର ମସ୍ତକରୁ ମୁକୁଟ କାଢ଼ି ନେଲେ, ଆଉ ଦେଖିଲେ ଯେ, ତାହା ଏକ ତାଳନ୍ତ ପରିମିତ ସ୍ୱର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଓ ତହିଁରେ ବହୁମୂଲ୍ୟ ପ୍ରସ୍ତରମାନ ଥିଲା। ପୁଣି, ତାହା ଦାଉଦଙ୍କର ମସ୍ତକରେ ଦିଆଗଲା; ଆଉ ସେ ସେହି ନଗରର ପ୍ରଚୁର ଲୁଟଦ୍ରବ୍ୟ ବାହାର କରି ଆଣିଲେ।
Then David took the crown from the head of the king of Rabbah (OR, from the head of their god Milcom) and put it on his own head. It [was very heavy; it] weighed (75 pounds/34 kg.), and it had many very valuable stones [fastened to it]. They also took many other valuable things from the city.
3 ଆହୁରି, ସେ ତନ୍ମଧ୍ୟବର୍ତ୍ତୀ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ବାହାର କରି ଆଣି କରତ ଓ ଲୁହାର ମଇ ଓ କୁହ୍ରାଡ଼ି ଦ୍ୱାରା ଛେଦନ କଲେ। ଏହି ପ୍ରକାରେ ଦାଉଦ ଅମ୍ମୋନ-ସନ୍ତାନଗଣର ସମୁଦାୟ ନଗର ପ୍ରତି କଲେ। ଏଉତ୍ତାରେ ଦାଉଦ ଓ ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକ ଯିରୂଶାଲମକୁ ଫେରି ଆସିଲେ।
Then they brought the people out of the city and forced them to [work for their army, ] using saws and iron picks and axes. David’s soldiers did this in all the cities of the Ammon people-group. Then David and all of his army returned to Jerusalem.
4 ଏଥିଉତ୍ତାରେ ଗେଷରରେ ପଲେଷ୍ଟୀୟମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଯୁଦ୍ଧ ଲାଗିଲା; ତହିଁରେ ହୂଶାତୀୟ ସିବ୍ବଖୟ ଦୀର୍ଘକାୟ ବଂଶଜାତ ସିପ୍ପୀକୁ ବଧ କଲା, ଯେ ରଫାୟୀମର ଏକ ବଂଶଜ ଥିଲା ପୁଣି ସେମାନେ ପରାସ୍ତ ହେଲେ।
Later, [David’s army] fought a battle with the army of Philistia, at Gezer [city]. During the battle Sibbecai, from Hushah [clan], killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the Rapha [giants]. So the armies of Philistia were defeated.
5 ଏଉତ୍ତାରେ ପୁନର୍ବାର ପଲେଷ୍ଟୀୟମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଯୁଦ୍ଧ ହେଲା, ତହିଁରେ ଯାୟୀରର ପୁତ୍ର ଇଲ୍ହାନନ୍ ତନ୍ତୀର ନରାଜ ତୁଲ୍ୟ ବର୍ଚ୍ଛାଧାରୀ ଗାଥୀୟ ଗଲୀୟାତର ଭ୍ରାତା ଲହମିକୁ ବଧ କଲା।
In another battle against the soldiers of Philistia, Elhanan, the son of Jair, killed Lahmi, the [younger] brother of [the giant] Goliath from Gath [town], who had a spear which was as thick as a weaver’s rod.
6 ଏଉତ୍ତାରେ ପୁନର୍ବାର ଗାଥ୍ ନଗରରେ ଯୁଦ୍ଧ ହେଲା, ସେଠାରେ ଅତି ଦୀର୍ଘକାୟ; ପୁଣି, ପ୍ରତି ହସ୍ତ ଓ ପାଦରେ ଛଅ ଛଅ ଅଙ୍ଗୁଳି, ସର୍ବସୁଦ୍ଧା ଚବିଶ ଅଙ୍ଗୁଳିବିଶିଷ୍ଟ ଏକ ଜଣ ଥିଲା; ସେ ମଧ୍ୟ ଦୀର୍ଘକାୟ ବଂଶଜାତ।
There was another battle near Gath. A (huge man/giant) was there who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He was descended from [the] Rapha [giants].
7 ପୁଣି, ସେ ଇସ୍ରାଏଲକୁ ତୁଚ୍ଛ କରନ୍ତେ, ଦାଉଦଙ୍କର ଭ୍ରାତା ଶିମୀୟର ପୁତ୍ର ଯୋନାଥନ ତାହାକୁ ବଧ କଲା।
When he made fun of the soldiers of Israel, Jonathan, the son of David’s [older] brother Shimea, killed him.
8 ଏମାନେ ଗାଥ୍ ନଗରରେ ଦୀର୍ଘକାୟ ବଂଶରେ ଜନ୍ମିଥିଲେ; ଏମାନେ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କ ହସ୍ତରେ ଓ ତାଙ୍କର ଦାସମାନଙ୍କ ହସ୍ତରେ ବଧ ହେଲେ।
Those were some of the descendants of [the] Rapha [giants] who had lived in Gath, who were killed [MTY] by David and his soldiers.
