1 Makoronike 20
1 Munguva yechirimo, panguva iyo madzimambo anoenda kuhondo, Joabhu, akatungamirira mauto akashonga zvombo zvokurwa. Akaparadza nyika yavaAmoni akaenda kuRabha akandorikomba, asi Dhavhidhi akasara muJerusarema. Joabhu akarwisa Rabha akarisiya raparara.
AND it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it.
2 Dhavhidhi akatora korona kubva pamusoro wamambo wavo, uremu hwayo hwakaonekwa kuti hwaiva tarenda regoridhe uye yakanga ina mabwe anokosha uye yakaiswa pamusoro paDhavhidhi. Akapamba zvinhu zvizhinji kwazvo muguta iri
And David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David’s head: and he brought also exceeding much spoil out of the city.
3 uye akabudisa vanhu vakanga varimo, akavatongera kuti vashande namajeko namapiki namatemo. Dhavhidhi akaita saizvozvi kumaguta ose avaAmoni. Ipapo Dhavhidhi nehondo yake yose akadzokera kuJerusarema.
And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
4 Nokufamba kwenguva, hondo yakatanga navaFiristia paGezeri. Panguva iyoyi Sibhekai muHushati akauraya Sipai, mumwe wezvizvarwa zvavaRefa, vaFiristia vakakundwa.
And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, that was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.
5 Mune kumwe kurwisana navaFiristia, Erihanani mwanakomana waJairi akauraya Rami mununʼuna waGoriati muGiti, aiva nepfumo raiva nomubato wakafanana nedanda romuruki.
And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver’s beam.
6 Mune kumwe kurwisana zvakare, kwakaitika paGati paiva nomumwe murume mukuru kwazvo aiva neminwe mitanhatu muruoko rumwe norumwe nezvigunwe zvitanhatu kugumbo rimwe nerimwe, zvose pamwe chete zvaiva makumi maviri nezvina. Aivawo worudzi rwaRafa.
And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot: and he also was the son of the giant.
7 Paakatuka Israeri, Jonatani mwanakomana waShimea, mununʼuna waDhavhidhi akamuuraya.
But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother slew him.
8 Izvi ndizvo zvizvarwa zvaRafa muGati, uye vakaurayiwa naDhavhidhi navanhu vake.
These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
