Вторая книга Царств 8
1 И бысть по сих, и порази Давид иноплеменники и победи их, и взя Давид отлученное от руки иноплеменничи.
Some time later, David’s army attacked the Philistia [army] and defeated them. They took control over the entire Philistia area.
2 И порази Давид Моава, и размери их ужами, положив их на земли: и быша два ужа на умерщвление, и два ужа на оживление: и бысть Моав Давиду в раба дающа дань.
David’s army also defeated the army of the Moab people-group. David forced their soldiers to lie down on the ground [close to each other]. His men killed two out of every three of them. The [other] Moab people [were forced to] accept David as their ruler, and they were forced to give to him [every year the] payment/tax [that he demanded].
3 И порази Давид Адраазара сына Раава царя Сувска, идущу ему поставити руку свою на реце Евфрате:
David’s army also defeated [the army of] Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, who ruled [the state of] Zobah [in Syria]. That happened when David went to rule again over the area at [the upper part of] the Euphrates River.
4 и предвзя Давид от него тысящу колесниц и седмь тысящ конник и двадесять тысящ мужей пешцев, и разруши Давид вся колесницы, и остави себе от них сто колесниц.
David’s army captured 1,700 of Hadadezer’s soldiers who rode on horses, and 20,000 of his other soldiers. They also crippled/hamstrung most of the horses that pulled the chariots, but they left/spared enough horses to [pull] 100 chariots.
5 И прииде Сириа Дамаскова помощи Адраазару царю Сувску, и порази Давид от Сирии двадесять две тысящы мужей,
When [the army of] Syria came from Damascus [city] to help King Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.
6 и постави Давид стражу в Сирии, яже под Дамаском, и бысть Сириа Давиду в рабы дающыя дань: и спасе Господь Давида во всех, аможе хождаше.
Then David stationed (groups of his soldiers/army camps) in their area, and the people of Syria were forced to accept David as their ruler, and to give to David’s government [every year] the payment/tax that he demanded. And Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win victories wherever they went.
7 И взя Давид гривны златыя, яже быша на отроцех Адраазара царя Сувска, и принесе я во Иерусалим: и взя их Сусаким царь Египетск, егда взыде во Иерусалим во дни Ровоама сына Соломоня.
David’s soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by Hadadezer’s officials, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 И от Метевака и от избранных градов Адраазаровых взя Давид медь многу зело, из неяже сотвори Соломон море медяно и столпы, и умывалницы и вся сосуды.
They also brought [to Jerusalem] a lot of bronze [that they found] in Betah and Berothai, two cities that King Hadadezer [had previously] ruled.
9 И услыша Фоа царь Имафский, яко порази Давид всю силу Адраазарову,
When Toi, the king of the Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
10 и посла Фоа Иеддурама сына своего к царю Давиду вопросити его яже о мире, и благословити его, понеже победи Адраазара и уби его, зане сопротивляяся бе Адраазару: и в руку его быша сосуды сребряны и сосуды златы и сосуды медяны:
he sent his son Joram to greet King David and to (congratulate him/say that he was happy) about his army defeating Hadadezer’s army, which Toi’s [army] had fought many times. Joram brought to David many items/gifts made from gold, silver, and bronze.
11 и сия освяти царь Давид Господу со сребром и златом, еже освяти от всех градов, имиже возоблада,
King David dedicated all those items to Yahweh. He also dedicated the silver and gold which his army had taken from the nations that they had conquered.
12 от Идумеи и от Моава, и от сынов Аммоних и от иноплеменник, и от Амалика и от корыстей Адраазара сына Раава, царя Сувска.
They had taken items from the Edom people-group and the Moab people-group, from the Ammon people-group, from the Philistia people, and from [the descendants of] Amalek, as well as from the people that Hadadezer [previously] ruled.
13 И сотвори Давид (себе) имя: и егда возвращашеся, порази Идумею в Гевелеме, до осминадесять тысящ:
When David returned [after defeating the armies of Syria], he became more famous because his army killed 18,000 soldiers from the Edom people-group in the Salt Valley [near the Dead Sea].
14 и постави во Идумеи Давид стражу, во всей Идумеи, и быша вси Идумеане раби царю Давиду: и спасе Господь Давида во всех, аможе хождаше.
David stationed (groups of his soldiers/army camps) throughout the Edom area, and forced the people there to accept him as their king. Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win battles wherever they went.
15 И царствова Давид над всем Израилем, и бе Давид творяй суд и правду над всеми людьми своими.
David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was fair and just.
16 И Иоав сын Саруин над воинствы (его), и Иосафат сын Ахилудов над памятописанми,
Joab was the army commander; Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the man who reported to the people everything that David decided that they should do;
17 и Садок сын Ахитов и Ахимелех сын Авиафарь жерцы, и Саса книжник,
Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the priests; Seraiah was the official secretary;
18 и Ванеа сын Иодаев советник, и Хелефий и Фелетий, и сынове Давидовы началницы двора быша.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was the commander of (David’s bodyguards/the men who protected the king); and David’s sons were priests (OR, his administrators/advisors).
