2 Samueri 8
1 Nokufamba kwenguva, Dhavhidhi akakunda vaFiristia vakava pasi pake, uye akatora Metegi Ama kubva mumaoko avaFiristia.
Some time later, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Metheg-ammah from the hand of the Philistines.
2 Dhavhidhi akakundawo vaMoabhu. Akavavatisa pasi akavayera netambo. Aiti akaera kaviri netambo vanhu ivavo vourayiwa, asi avo vaipinda pachiero chikamu chimwe chete kubva muzvitatu vaitenderwa kurarama. Naizvozvo vaMoabhu vakaitwa varanda naDhavhidhi uye vakabvisiswa mutero.
David also defeated the Moabites, made them lie down on the ground, and measured them off with a cord. He measured off with two lengths those to be put to death, and with one length those to be spared. So the Moabites became subject to David and brought him tribute.
3 Pamusoro paizvozvo, Dhavhidhi akarwisa Hadhadhezeri mwanakomana waRehobhi, mambo weZobha, paakaenda kundotorazve nyika yaiva mujinga morwizi Yufuratesi.
David also defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, who had marched out to restore his dominion along the Euphrates River.
4 Dhavhidhi akamutorera ngoro dzamabhiza chiuru, vachairi vengoro zviuru zvinomwe navarwi vaifamba netsoka zviuru makumi maviri. Akaremadza makumbo eshure amabhiza ose kusiya kwezana rimwe chete raikweva ngoro.
David captured from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand charioteers, and twenty thousand foot soldiers, and he hamstrung all the horses except a hundred he kept for the chariots.
5 Zvino vaAramu veDhamasiko vakati vauya kuzobatsira Hadhadhezeri mambo weZobha, Dhavhidhi akauraya zviuru makumi maviri nezviviri pakati pavo.
When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand men.
6 Akaisa mapoka avarwi munyika yavaAramu yeDhamasiko, vaAramu vakava varanda vake vakabvisiswa mutero. Jehovha akaita kuti Dhavhidhi akunde kwose kwose kwaakaenda.
Then he placed garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became subject to David and brought him tribute. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
7 Dhavhidhi akatora nhoo dzegoridhe dzakanga dziri dzamakurukota aHadhadhezeri, akauya nadzo kuJerusarema.
And David took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Mambo Dhavhidhi akatora ndarira zhinji kwazvo kubva paTebha neBherotai, maguta akanga ari aHadhadhezeri.
And from Betah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a large amount of bronze.
9 Zvino Tou mambo weHamati akati anzwa kuti Dhavhidhi akanga akunda hondo yose yaHadhadhezeri,
When King Toi of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer,
10 akatuma mwanakomana wake Joramu kuna Mambo Dhavhidhi kundomukwazisa nokumukorokotedza pamusoro pokukunda kwaakanga aita Hadhadhezeri pakurwa, uye akanga amborwisana naTou. Joramu akauya nemidziyo yesirivha neyegoridhe neyendarira.
he sent his son Joram to greet King David and bless him for fighting and defeating Hadadezer, who had been at war with Toi. Joram brought with him articles of silver and gold and bronze,
11 Mambo Dhavhidhi akakumikidza midziyo iyi kuna Jehovha, sezvaakanga aita nesirivha negoridhe yakanga yabva kundudzi dzose dzaakanga akunda dzinoti:
and King David dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had dedicated from all the nations he had subdued—
12 Edhomu neMoabhu, vaAmoni navaFiristia, neAmareki. Akakumikidzazve zvaakanga apamba kubva kuna Hadhadhezeri mwanakomana waRehobhi, mambo weZobha.
from Edom and Moab, from the Ammonites and Philistines and Amalekites, and from the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
13 Uye Dhavhidhi akava nomukurumbira paakadzoka kundouraya gumi rezviuru nezviuru zvisere zvavaEdhomu paMupata weMunyu.
And David made a name for himself when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
14 Akaisa mapoka avarwi munyika yose yeEdhomu, vaEdhomu vose vakava varanda vaDhavhidhi. Jehovha akaita kuti Dhavhidhi akunde kwose kwaakaenda.
He placed garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
15 Dhavhidhi akabata ushe pamusoro peIsraeri yose, achiita zvakarurama nezvakanaka kuvanhu vose.
Thus David reigned over all Israel and administered justice and righteousness for all his people:
16 Joabhu mwanakomana waZeruya aiva mukuru wehondo; Jehoshafati mwanakomana waAhirudhi aiva muchengeti wemidziyo,
Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
17 Zadhoki mwanakomana waAhitubhi naAhimereki mwanakomana waAbhiatari vaiva vaprista; Seraya aiva munyori;
Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Seraiah was the scribe;
18 Bhenaya mwanakomana waJehoyadha aiva mutariri wavaKereti navaPereti; uye vanakomana vaDhavhidhi vaiva vapi vamazano vamambo.
Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were priestly leaders.
