< 1 Crônicas 20 >

1 Na época do retorno do ano, no momento em que os reis saem, Joab liderou o exército e desperdiçou o país das crianças de Ammon, e veio e sitiou Rabbah. Mas Davi ficou em Jerusalém. Joabe atacou Rabá e o derrubou.
[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 Davi tirou a coroa de seu rei de sua cabeça e a encontrou para pesar um talento de ouro, e havia pedras preciosas nela. Foi colocada na cabeça de Davi, e ele trouxe muito saque para fora da cidade.
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 Ele trouxe para fora as pessoas que estavam nela, e mandou cortá-las com serras, com picaretas de ferro, e com machados. David o fez a todas as cidades das crianças de Ammon. Então Davi e todo o povo retornaram 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 disso, surgiu a guerra em Gezer com os filisteus. Então Sibbecai, o Hushathite, matou Sippai, dos filhos do gigante; e eles foram subjugados.
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 Novamente houve guerra com os filisteus; e Elhanan, filho de Jair, matou Lahmi, irmão de Golias, o Gittita, cujo bastão era como uma lança de tecelão.
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 Houve novamente a guerra em Gate, onde havia um homem de grande estatura, que tinha vinte e quatro dedos das mãos e dos pés, seis em cada mão e seis em cada pé; e ele também nasceu para o gigante.
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 Quando ele desafiou Israel, Jonathan, filho de Siméia, irmão de David, o matou.
When he made fun of the soldiers of Israel, Jonathan, the son of David’s [older] brother Shimea, killed him.
8 Estes nasceram para o gigante em Gate; e caíram pela mão de Davi e pela mão 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.
