1 Nokufamba kwenguva, Dhavhidhi akakunda vaFiristia akavaisa pasi pake, uye akavatorera Gati nemisha yakaripoteredza kuti ribve pasi poruoko rwavaFiristia.

Now after these things, it happened that David struck the Philistines, and he humbled them, and he took Gath and her daughters from the hand of the Philistines.

2 Dhavhidhi akakundawo vaMoabhu, uye vakava pasi pake, vakamuvigira mutero.

And he struck Moab. And the Moabites became the servants of David, offering gifts to him.

3 Pamusoro pezvo Dhavhidhi akarwisa Hadhadhezeri mambo weZobha kusvikira kuHamati, paakaenda kundosimbisa kutonga kwake achitevedza Rwizi Yufuratesi.

In that time, David also struck Hadadezer, the king of Zobah, in the region of Hamath, when he went forth so that he might extend his dominion as far as the river Euphrates.

4 Dhavhidhi akapamba chiuru chengoro dzake, vachairi vengoro zviuru zvinomwe navarwi vetsoka zviuru makumi maviri. Akadimbura marunda amakumbo amabhiza ose kusara kwezana ramabhiza engoro.

Then David seized one thousand of his four-horse chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand men on foot. And he hamstrung all the chariot horses, except for one hundred four-horse chariots, which he reserved for himself.

5 VaAramu veDhamasiko pavakauya kuzobatsira Hadhadhezeri mambo weZobha, Dhavhidhi akauraya zviuru makumi maviri nezviviri zvavo.

Then the Syrians of Damascus also arrived, so that they might offer assistance to Hadadezer, the king of Zobah. And so, David then struck of them twenty-two thousand men.

6 Akaisa mapoka avarwi vake muumambo hwavaAramu veDhamasiko, uye vaAramu vakava pasi pake uye vakamuvigira mutero. Jehovha akapa Dhavhidhi kukunda kwose kwose kwaakaenda.

And he stationed soldiers in Damascus, so that Syria also would serve him, and would offer gifts. And the Lord assisted him in all the things to which he went forth.

7 Dhavhidhi akatora nhoo dzegoridhe dzaiva dzakatakurwa navatungamiri vehondo yaHadhadhezeri akaenda nadzo kuJerusarema.

Also, David took the golden quivers, which the servants of Hadadezer had, and he brought them to Jerusalem.

In addition, from Tibhath and Cun, cities of Hadadezer, he brought very much brass, from which Solomon made the sea of brass, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

9 Tou mambo weHamati paakanzwa kuti Dhavhidhi akanga akunda hondo yose yaHadhadhezeri mambo weZobha,

Now when Toi, the king of Hamath, had heard this, specifically that David had struck the entire army of Hadadezer, the king of Zobah,

10 akatuma mwanakomana wake Hadhoramu akauya nezvinhu zvamarudzi ose zvegoridhe nesirivha nendarira.

he sent his son Hadoram to king David so that he might petition peace from him, and so that he might congratulate him that he had struck and defeated Hadadezer. For indeed, Toi was an adversary to Hadadezer.

11 Mambo Dhavhidhi akakumikidza zvipo izvi kuna Jehovha sezvaakanga aita nesirivha negoridhe, zvaakanga atora kubva kundudzi idzi dzose dzaiti: Edhomu, Moabhu, vaAmoni, vaFiristia neAmareki.

Moreover, all the vessels of gold and silver and brass king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had taken from all the nations, as much from Idumea, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon, as from the Philistines and Amalek.

12 Abhishai mwanakomana waZeruya akauraya vaEdhomu zviuru gumi nezvisere muMupata weMunyu.

Truly, Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, struck eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of the Salt Pits.

13 Akaisa mapoka avarwi muEdhomu uye vaEdhomu vose vakava pasi poutongi hwaDhavhidhi. Jehovha akapa Dhavhidhi kukunda kwose kwose kwaakaenda.

And he stationed a garrison in Edom, so that Idumea would serve David. And the Lord saved David in all the things to which he went forth.

14 Dhavhidhi akatonga Israeri achiita zvose zvakarurama uye zvakanaka kuvanhu vake vose.

Therefore, David reigned over all of Israel, and he executed judgment and justice among all his people.

15 Joabhu mwanakomana waZeruya aitungamirira hondo; Jehoshafati mwanakomana waAhirudhi aiva munyori wenhoroondo;

Now Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was over the army, and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the keeper of records.

16 Zadhoki mwanakomana waAhitubhi naAhimereki mwanakomana waAbhiatari vaiva vaprista; Shavhisha akanga ari munyori;

And Zadok, the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, were the priests. And Shavsha was the scribe.

17 Bhenaya mwanakomana waJehoyadha aitungamirira vaKereti navaPereti; uye vanakomana vaDhavhidhi vaiva machinda makuru parutivi pamambo.

Also, Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the legions of the Cherethites and Pelethites. But the sons of David were first at the hand of the king.
