2 Samweli 8
1 Baada ya muda, Daudi akawashinda Wafilisti na kuwatiisha, naye akautwaa Metheg-Amma kutoka mikononi mwa Wafilisti.
And it comes to pass afterward that David strikes the Philistines, and humbles them, and David takes the bridle of the metropolis out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 Pia Daudi akawashinda Wamoabu. Akawafanya walale chini kwa mstari akawapima kwa urefu wa kamba. Kila alipopima urefu wa hiyo kamba mara mbili hilo kundi waliuawa na alipopima mara ya tatu aliwaacha hai. Kwa hiyo Wamoabu wakawa chini ya Daudi nao wakamletea kodi.
And he strikes Moab, and measures them with a line, causing them to lie down on the earth, and he measures two lines to put to death, and the fullness of the line to keep alive, and the Moabites are for servants to David, bearers of a present.
3 Zaidi ya hayo, Daudi akapigana na Hadadezeri mwana wa Rehobu, mfalme wa Soba, alipokwenda kurudisha tena utawala wake kwenye eneo la Mto Frati.
And David strikes Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, in his going to bring back his power by the River [Euphrates];
4 Daudi akateka magari yake ya vita 1,000, askari wapanda farasi 7,000 na askari 20,000 watembeao kwa miguu. Daudi akawakata wale farasi wote wakokotao magari mishipa ya miguu, isipokuwa farasi 100 hakuwakata.
and David captures from him one thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and David utterly destroys the whole of the charioteers; he leaves only one hundred of their charioteers.
5 Waaramu wa Dameski walipokuja kumsaidia Hadadezeri mfalme wa Soba, Daudi akawashambulia na kuwaua 22,000 miongoni mwao.
And Aram of Damascus comes to give help to Hadadezer king of Zobah, and David strikes twenty-two thousand men of Aram;
6 Daudi akaweka askari walinzi katika ufalme wa Waaramu huko Dameski, nao Waaramu wakawa watumwa wake na kumlipa ushuru. Bwana akampa Daudi ushindi kote alipokwenda.
and David puts garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and Aram is for a servant to David, carrying a present; and YHWH saves David wherever he has gone;
7 Daudi akazitwaa ngao za dhahabu zilizokuwa za maafisa wa Hadadezeri na kuzileta Yerusalemu.
and David takes the shields of gold which were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brings them to Jerusalem;
8 Kutoka miji ya Beta na Berothai, iliyokuwa miji ya Hadadezeri, Mfalme Daudi akatwaa shaba nyingi sana.
and from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David has taken very much bronze.
9 Tou, mfalme wa Hamathi, aliposikia kwamba Daudi amelishinda jeshi lote la Hadadezeri,
And Toi king of Hamath hears that David has struck all the force of Hadadezer,
10 akamtuma mwanawe Yoramu kwa Mfalme Daudi kumsalimu na kumpongeza kwa ushindi wake katika vita dhidi ya Hadadezeri, kwa kuwa Hadadezeri alikuwa amepigana vita na Tou. Yoramu akamletea Daudi vyombo vya fedha, dhahabu na shaba.
and Toi sends his son Joram to King David to ask of him of welfare, and to bless him (because that he has fought against Hadadezer, and strikes him, for Hadadezer had been a man of wars [with] Toi), and in his hand have been vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze,
11 Mfalme Daudi akaviweka vifaa hivi wakfu kwa Bwana, kama vile alivyokuwa amefanya kwa fedha na dhahabu kutoka kwa mataifa yote aliyokuwa ameyashinda:
also King David sanctified them to YHWH, with the silver and the gold which he sanctified of all the nations which he subdued:
12 yaani Edomu, Moabu, Waamoni, Wafilisti na Waamaleki. Pia akaweka wakfu nyara alizoteka kutoka kwa Hadadezeri mwana wa Rehobu, mfalme wa Soba.
of Aram, and of Moab, and of the sons of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob king of Zobah.
13 Naye Daudi akapata sifa baada ya kurudi kutoka kuwaua Waedomu 18,000 katika Bonde la Chumvi.
And David makes a name in his turning back from his striking Aram in the Valley of Salt—eighteen thousand;
14 Akaweka kambi za askari walinzi katika Edomu yote, nao Waedomu wakawa chini ya Daudi. Bwana alimpatia Daudi ushindi kila alipokwenda.
and he puts garrisons in Edom—he has put garrisons in all of Edom, and all Edom are servants to David; and YHWH saves David wherever he has gone.
15 Daudi akatawala Israeli yote, akitenda lililo haki na sawa kwa watu wake wote.
And David reigns over all Israel, and David is doing judgment and righteousness to all his people,
16 Yoabu mwana wa Seruya alikuwa jemadari wa jeshi; Yehoshafati mwana wa Ahiludi alikuwa mweka kumbukumbu;
and Joab son of Zeruiah [is] over the host, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] remembrancer,
17 Sadoki mwana wa Ahitubu na Ahimeleki mwana wa Abiathari walikuwa makuhani; Seraya alikuwa mwandishi;
and Zadok son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech son of Abiathar, [are] priests, and Seraiah [is] scribe,
18 Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada alikuwa msimamizi wa Wakerethi na Wapelethi; nao wana wa Daudi walikuwa washauri wa mfalme.
and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is over] both the Cherethite and the Pelethite, and the sons of David have been ministers.
