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.
And it came to pass, at the time of the return of the same season of the year, at the time when kings go forth, that Joab led out the power of the army, and destroyed the country of the children of 'Ammon, and he came and besieged Rabbah. But David remained behind at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and pulled it down.
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 Malkam from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and thereon a precious stone; and it was set on the head of David: and the booty of the city he brought out in great abundance.
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 the people that were therein he brought forward, and cut them with saws, and with iron threshing-wagons, and with axes; and thus did David unto all the cities of the children of 'Ammon; and David returned then with all the people unto 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.
And it came to pass after this, that there arose a battle at Gezer with the Philistines: then smote Sibbechai the Chushathite Sippai, one of the children of the Rapha; and they were humbled.
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 there was again a battle with the Philistines, when Elchanan the son of Yair smote Lachmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
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 there was again a battle at Gath, where was a man of [great] stature, whose fingers and toes were six on each [hand and foot], four and twenty [in all]; and he also was born to the Rapha.
7 At nang kaniyang hamunin ang Israel, pinatay siya ni Jonathan na anak ni Sima na kapatid ni David.
And he defied Israel; but Jonathan the son of Shim'a the brother of David smote him.
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 born unto the Rapha in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
