2 Samuel 8
1 And it came about after this that David made an attack on the Philistines and overcame them; and David took the authority of the mother-town from the hands of the Philistines.
ikawa baada ya haya Daudi aliwashambulia Wafilisti na kuwashinda. Hivyo Daudi akaichukua Gathi na vijiji vyake kutoka katika mamlaka ya wafilisti.
2 And he overcame the Moabites, and he had them measured with a line when they were stretched out on the earth; marking out two lines for death and one full line for life. So the Moabites became servants to David and gave him offerings.
Kisha akaishinda Moabu na akawapima watu wake kwa mstari kwa kuwafanya walale chini juu ya ardhi. Alipima mistari miwili ya kuua, na mstari mmoja kamili kuwahifadhi hai. Hivyo Wamoabu wakawa watumishi wa Daudi na wakaanza kumlipa kodi.
3 And David overcame Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, when he went to make his power seen by the River.
Kisha Daudi akamshinda Hadadezeri mwana wa Rehobu, mfalme wa Soba, Hadadezeri aliposafiri kuurudisha ufalme wake katika mto Frati.
4 And David took from him one thousand, seven hundred horsemen and twenty thousand footmen: and David had the leg-muscles of the horses cut, only keeping enough of them for a hundred war-carriages.
Daudi aliteka magari 1, 700 ya farasi na askari ishirini elfu waendao kwa miguu. Daudi akawakata miguu farasi wa magari, lakini akahifadhi wakutosha magari mia moja.
5 And when the Aramaeans of Damascus came to the help of Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David put to the sword twenty-two thousand of the Aramaeans.
Wakati Washami wa Dameski walipokuja kumsaidia Hadadeziri mfalme wa Soba, Daudi akaua katika Washami watu ishirini na mbili elfu.
6 And David put armed forces in Aram of Damascus: and the Aramaeans became servants to David and gave him offerings. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.
Daudi akaweka ngome huko Shamu ya Dameski, na Washami wakawa watumishi wake na wakaleta kodi. Yahwe akampa Daudi ushindi kila alikokwenda.
7 And David took their gold body-covers from the servants of Hadadezer and took them to Jerusalem.
Daudi akachukua ngao za dhahabu walizokuwa nazo watumishi wa Hadadezeri naye akazileta Yerusalemu.
8 And from Tebah and Berothai, towns of Hadadezer, King David took a great store of brass.
Mfalme Daudi akachukua shaba nyingi kutoka Beta na Berosai, miji ya Hadadezeri.
9 And when Tou, king of Hamath, had news that David had overcome all the army of Hadadezer,
Wakati Tou, mfalme wa Hamathi, aliposikia kwamba Daudi amelishinda jeshi lote la Hadadezeri,
10 He sent his son Hadoram to David, with words of peace and blessing, because he had overcome Hadadezer in the fight, for Hadadezer had wars with Tou; and Hadoram took with him vessels of silver and gold and brass:
Tou akamtuma Hadoramu mwanawe kwa mfalme Daudi kumpa salamu na kumbariki, kwa kuwa Daudi alikuwa amepigana na Hadadezeri na kumshinda, maana Hadadezeri alikuwa amepiga vita dhidi ya Tou. Hadoramu akaja pamoja na vitu vya fedha, dhahabu, na shaba.
11 These King David made holy to the Lord, together with the silver and gold which he had taken from the nations he had overcome —
Mfalme Daudi akaviweka wakfu vitu hivi kwa ajili ya Yahwe, pamoja na fedha na dhahabu kutoka katika mataifa yote aliyokuwa ameyashinda-
12 The nations of Edom and Moab, and the children of Ammon and the Philistines and the Amalekites and the goods he had taken from Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
kutoka Shamu, Moabu, Waamoni, Wafilist, Waamaleki, pamoja na nyara zote alizoziteka kutoka kwa Hadadezeri mwana wa Rehobu, mfalme wa Soba.
13 And David got great honour for himself, when he came back, by the destruction of Edom in the valley of Salt, to the number of eighteen thousand men.
Jina la Daudi likajulikana sana alipowashinda washami katika bonde la Chumvi, pamoja na watu wao wapatao elfu kumi na nane.
14 And he put armed forces in Edom; all through Edom he had armed forces stationed, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.
Akaweka ngome katika Edomu yote, na Waedomu wote wakawa watumishi wake. Yahwe akampa Daudi ushindi kila alipokwenda.
15 And David was king over all Israel, judging and giving right decisions for all his people.
Daudi akatawala juu ya Israeli yote, naye akatenda kwa haki na usawa kwa watu wote.
16 And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the army; and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was keeper of the records;
Yoabu mwana wa Seruya alikuwa mkuu wa jeshi, na Yehoshafati mwana wa Ahiludi alikuwa mwenye kuandika taarifa.
17 And Zadok and Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, were priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;
Sadoki mwana wa Ahitubu na Ahimeleki mwana wa Abiathari walikuwa makuhani, na Seraya alikuwa mwandishi.
18 And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were priests.
Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada alikuwa juu ya Wakerethi na Wapelethi, na wana wa Daudi walikuwa washauri wa mfalme.
