1 Crônicas 20
1 E aconteceu à volta do ano, no tempo que costumam os reis sair à guerra, que Joabe tirou as forças do exército, e destruiu a terra dos filhos de Amom, e veio e cercou a Rabá. Mas Davi estava em Jerusalém; e Joabe atacou Rabá, e a destruiu.
[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 E tomou Davi a coroa de seu rei de encima de sua cabeça, e achou-a de peso de um talento de ouro, e havia nela pedras preciosas; e foi posta sobre a cabeça de Davi. E ademais de isto tirou da cidade um muito grande despojo.
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 Tirou também ao povo que estava nela, e cortou-os com serras, e com trilhos de ferro, e machados. O mesmo fez Davi a todas as cidades dos filhos de Amom. E voltou-se Davi com todo o povo a Jerusalém.
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 Depois de isto aconteceu que se levantou guerra em Gezer com os filisteus; e feriu Sibecai Husatita a Sipai, da linhagem dos gigantes; e foram humilhados.
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 E voltou-se a levantar guerra com os filisteus; e feriu Elanã filho de Jair a Lami, irmão de Golias geteu, a haste de cuja lança era como um lançador de tecedores.
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 E voltou a haver guerra em Gate, de onde havia um homem de grande estatura, o qual tinha seis dedos em pés e mãos, em todos vinte e quatro: e também era filho de Rafa.
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 Insultou ele a Israel, mas feriu-o Jônatas, filho de Simeia irmão de Davi.
When he made fun of the soldiers of Israel, Jonathan, the son of David’s [older] brother Shimea, killed him.
8 Estes foram filhos de Rafa em Gate, os quais caíram por mão de Davi e de seus servos.
Those were some of the descendants of [the] Rapha [giants] who had lived in Gath, who were killed [MTY] by David and his soldiers.
