2 Samuela 8

1 Pea hili eni naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe teʻia ʻe Tevita ʻae kakai Filisitia, ʻo ne ikuna ʻakinautolu: pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Tevita ʻa Metekiama mei he nima ʻoe kakai Filisitia.

And it came to pass after this that David defeated the Philistines, and brought them down, and David took the bridle of tribute out of the hand of the Philistines.

2 Pea naʻa ne taaʻi ʻa Moape, mo ne fuofua kinautolu ʻaki ʻae afo, mo ne lī hifo kinautolu ki he kelekele; ʻio, ko e fuaʻanga ʻe ua ke fai ai ʻae tāmate, pea ko e fuaʻanga kātoa ʻe taha ke fakamoʻui. Pea naʻe hoko ʻae kakai Moape, ko e kau hopoate kia Tevita, mo e tukuhau.

And he defeated Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the earth: and he measured with two lines, one to put to death, and one to save alive: and Moab was made to serve David under tribute.

3 Naʻe taaʻi foki ʻe Tevita ʻa Hetatesa ko e foha ʻo Lehopi, ko e tuʻi ʻo Sopa, ʻi heʻene ʻalu atu ke toe maʻu mai hono ngataʻanga [fonua ]ki he vaitafe ko ʻIufaletesi.

David defeated also Adarezer the son of Rohob king of Soba, when he went to extend his dominion over the river Euphrates.

4 Pea naʻe maʻu meiate ia ʻe Tevita ʻa e [saliote ]ʻe taha afe, mo e kau heka hoosi ʻe toko fitungeau, mo e kakai hāʻele ʻe toko ua mano: pea naʻe tuʻusi ʻe Tevita ʻae uoua ʻoe vaʻe ʻoe [fanga hoosi ʻoe ]saliote kotoa pē, ka naʻe tuku ʻe ia ʻae hoosi ki he saliote ʻe teau.

And David took from him a thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and houghed all the chariot horses: and only reserved of them for one hundred chariots.

5 Pea ʻi heʻene haʻu ʻae kakai Silia mei Tamasikusi ke tokoni kia Hetatesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Sopa, naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Tevita ʻi he kakai Silia ʻae toko ua mano mo e toko ua afe.

And the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Adarezer the king of Soba: and David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.

6 Pea naʻe toki tuku ʻe Tevita ʻae kautau ke leʻo ʻi Silia ʻo Tamasikusi: pea naʻe hoko ʻae kakai Silia ko e kau hopoate kia Tevita, pea [naʻa nau ]ʻomi ʻae ngaahi koloa [kiate ia]. Pea naʻe fakahaofi ʻa Tevita ʻe Sihova ʻi he potu kotoa pē naʻa ne ʻalu ki ai.

And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and Syria served David under tribute: and the Lord preserved David in all his enterprises, whithersoever he went.

7 Pea naʻe toʻo mai ʻe Tevita ʻae ngaahi pā fakakoula, ʻaia naʻe ʻai ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Hetatesa, ʻo ne ʻomi ia ki Selūsalema.

And David took the arms of gold, which the servants of Adarezer wore, and brought them to Jerusalem.

8 Pea naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻae palasa naʻe ʻomi ʻe Tevita ko e tuʻi mei Peta pea mei Petotai ko e ongo kolo ʻo Hetatesa.

And out of Bete, and out of Beroth, cities of Adarezer, king David took an exceeding great quantity of brass.

9 Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻe Toi ko e tuʻi ʻo Hemati ki he teʻia ʻe Tevita ʻae kautau kotoa pē ʻo Hetatesa,

And Thou the king of Emath heard that David had defeated all the forces of Adarezer.

10 Naʻe toki ʻave ai ʻe Toi ʻa Solami ko hono foha kia Tevita ko e tuʻi, ke feʻiloaki mo ia, pea ke fakamālō kiate ia, koeʻuhi ko ʻene tauʻi ʻa Hetatesa, mo ne teʻia ia: he naʻe faʻa tau ʻa Hetatesa mo Toi. Pea naʻe ʻave mo [Solami ]ʻae ngaahi ipu siliva, mo e ngaahi ipu koula, mo e ngaahi ipu palasa:

And Thou sent Joram his son to king David, to salute him, and to congratulate with him, and to return him thanks: because he had fought against Adarezer, and had defeated him. For Thou was an enemy to Adarezer, and in his hand were vessels of gold, and vessels of silver, and vessels of brass:

11 ‌ʻaia foki naʻe fakatapui ʻe Tevita kia Sihova, fakataha mo e siliva mo e koula ʻaia naʻa ne fakatapui mei he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē naʻa ne ikuna;

And king David dedicated them to the Lord, together with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all the nations, which he had subdued:

12 Mei Silia, pea mei Moape, pea mo e fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea mo e kakai Filisitia, pea mo ʻAmaleki, pea mei he koloa ʻa Hetatesa, ko e foha ʻo Lehopi, ko e tuʻi ʻo Sapa.

Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalec, and of the spoils of Adarezer the son of Rohob king of Soba.

13 Pea naʻe ongoongoa ʻae hingoa ʻo Tevita ʻi heʻene liliu mai mei heʻene taaʻi ʻae kakai Silia ʻi he teleʻa ʻoe māsima, ko e tokotaha mano mo e toko valu afe.

David also made himself a name, when he returned after taking Syria in the valley of the saltpits, killing eighteen thousand:

14 Pea naʻa ne tuku ʻae kautau ke leʻo ki ʻItomi; ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻo ʻItomi naʻa ne tuku ʻae kautau ke leʻohi pea naʻe toka mai ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo ʻItomi kia Tevita. Pea naʻe fakahaofi ʻa Tevita ʻe Sihova ʻi he potu kotoa pē naʻa ne ʻalu ki ai.

And he put guards in Edom, and placed there a garrison: and all Edom was made to serve David: and the Lord preserved David in all enterprises he went about.

15 Pea naʻe pule ʻa Tevita ki ʻIsileli kotoa; pea naʻe fai ʻe Tevita ʻae fakamaau mo fai totonu ki heʻene kakai kotoa pē.

And David reigned over all Israel: and David did judgment and justice to all his people.

16 Pea naʻe pule ʻae kautau ʻa Soape ko e tama ʻo Seluia; pea ko e tangata naʻe tohi ʻae meʻa fakapuleʻanga. Ko Sihosafate ko e foha ʻo ʻAhilute;

And Joab the son of Sarvia was over the army: and Josaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder:

17 Pea naʻe taulaʻeiki ʻa Satoki ko e foha ʻo ʻAhitupe, pea mo ʻAhimeleki ko e foha ʻo ʻApiata; pea ko e tangata tohi ʻa Selaia;

And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests: and Saraias was the scribe:

18 Pea naʻe pule ʻa Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata ki he kakai Keliti pea mo e kakai Peleti fakatouʻosi; pea naʻe tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he pule ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Tevita.

And Banaias the son of Joiada was over the Cerethi and Phelethi: and the sons of David were the princes.
