1 Mga Cronica 20
1 At nangyari sa panahon ng pagpihit ng taon, sa panahong ang mga hari ay nagsisilabas sa pakikipagbaka, na pinatnubayan ni Joab ang hukbo, at sinira ang lupain ng mga anak ni Ammon, at naparoon at kinubkob ang Rabba. Nguni't si David ay naghintay sa Jerusalem. At sinaktan ni Joab ang Rabba, at sinira.
Now in the spring, at the time when kings go out to war, Joab went out at the head of the armed forces and made waste all the land of the Ammonites and put his men in position before Rabbah, shutting it in. But David was still at Jerusalem. And Joab took Rabbah and made it waste.
2 At kinuha ni David ang putong ng kanilang hari sa ibabaw ng kaniyang ulo, at nasumpungang may timbang na isang talentong ginto, at may mga mahalagang bato roon: at naputong sa ulo ni David: at kaniyang inilabas ang samsam sa bayan, na totoong marami.
And David took the crown of Milcom from off his head; its weight was a talent of gold and it had stones of great price in it; and it was put on David's head, and he took a great store of goods from the town.
3 At kaniyang inilabas ang bayan na nandoon, at pinutol sila ng mga lagari, at ng mga suyod na bakal, at ng mga palakol. At ganito ang ginawa ni David sa lahat ng mga bayan ng mga anak ni Ammon. At si David at ang buong bayan ay bumalik sa Jerusalem.
And he took the people out of the town and put them to work with wood-cutting instruments, and iron grain-crushers, and axes. And this he did to all the towns of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people went back to Jerusalem.
4 At nangyari, pagkatapos nito, na nagkaroon ng pagdidigma sa Gezer laban sa mga Filisteo: nang magkagayo'y pinatay ni Sibbecai na Husathita si Sippai, sa mga anak ng mga higante; at sila'y sumuko.
Now after this there was war with the Philistines at Gezer; then Sibbecai the Hushathite put to death Sippai, one of the offspring of the Rephaim; and they were overcome.
5 At nagkaroon uli ng pakikipagdigma laban sa mga Filisteo; at pinatay ni Elhanan na anak ni Jair si Lahmi na kapatid ni Goliath na Getheo, na ang puluhan ng sibat niya ay gaya ng panghabi ng manghahabi.
And again there was war with the Philistines; and Elhanan, the son of Jair, put to death Lahmi, the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the stem of whose spear was like a cloth-worker's rod.
6 At nagkaroon uli ng pagdidigma sa Gath, na doo'y may isang lalaking may malaking bulas, na ang mga daliri ng kamay at paa ay dalawangpu't apat, anim sa bawa't kamay at anim sa bawa't paa; at siya rin nama'y ipinanganak sa higante.
And again there was war at Gath, where there was a very tall man, who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six fingers on his hands and six toes on his feet; he was one of the offspring of the Rephaim.
7 At nang kaniyang hamunin ang Israel, pinatay siya ni Jonathan na anak ni Sima na kapatid ni David.
And when he put shame on Israel, Jonathan, the son of Shimea, David's brother, put him to death.
8 Ang mga ito ang ipinanganak sa higante sa Gath, at sila'y nangabuwal sa pamamagitan ng kamay ni David, at sa pamamagitan ng kamay ng mga lingkod niya.
These were of the offspring of the Rephaim in Gath; they came to their death by the hands of David and his servants.
