1 Chronicles 18

1 And it came to pass after this, that David defeated the Philistines, and humbled them, and took away Geth, and her daughters out of the hands of the Philistines,

[達味的武功]此後，達味攻打培肋舍特人，將他們克服，由培肋舍特人手中，奪取了加特城及所屬村鎮。

2 And he defeated Moab, and the Moabites were made David’s servants, and brought him gifts.

以後打敗了摩阿布，摩阿布人也臣屬於達味，給他進貢。

3 At that time David defeated also Adarezer king of Soba of the land of Hemath, when he went to extend his dominions as far as the river Euphrates.

當祚巴哈瑪特王哈達德則爾向幼發拉的河伸展自己的勢力時，達味也打敗了他，

4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and he houghed all the chariot horses, only a hundred chariots, which he reserved for himself.

擄獲了他的車輛一千，騎兵七千，步兵兩萬；達味割斷了所有拉戰車的馬蹄筋，只留下足以拉一百輛車的馬。

5 And the Syrians of Damascus came also to help Adarezer king of Soba: and David slew of them likewise two and twenty thousand men.

後有大馬士革的阿蘭人，來援助祚巴王哈達德則爾，達味擊殺了兩萬二千阿蘭人。

6 And he put a garrison in Damascus, that Syria also should serve him, and bring gifts. And the Lord assisted him in all things to which he went.

達味遂在大馬士革阿蘭屯兵駐守，阿蘭也臣屬於達味，給他進貢；達味無論往那裏去，上主總使他獲勝。

7 And David took the golden quivers which the servants of Adarezer had, and he brought them to Jerusalem.

達味奪了哈達德則爾臣僕所帶的金盾牌，送到耶路撒冷。

8 Likewise out of Thebath and Chun, cities of Adarezer, he brought very much brass, of which Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

達味又由貝塔和貢，哈達德則爾的兩座城內，奪取了大量的銅；以後撒羅滿用來作銅海、圓柱及銅器。

9 Now when Thou king of Hemath heard that David had defeated all the army of Adarezer king of Soba,

哈瑪特王托烏，聽說達味打敗了祚巴王哈達德則爾所有的軍隊，

10 He sent Adoram his son to king David, to desire peace of him, and to congratulate him that he had defeated and overthrown Adarezer: for Thou was an enemy to Adarezer.

便派自己的兒子哈多蘭到達味王那裏向他致敬，祝賀他打敗了哈達德則爾，因哈達德則爾原是托烏的敵人；他還送來了各種金、銀、銅器。

11 And all the vessels of gold, and silver, and brass king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and gold which he had taken from all the nations, as well from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, as from the Philistines, and from Amalec.

達味王也將這些，連同那些由各民族，即厄東、摩阿布、阿孟子民、培肋舍特人、阿瑪肋克人所得來的金銀，一起奉獻給上主。

12 And Abisai the son of Sarvia slew of the Edomites in the vale of the saltpits, eighteen thousand:

責魯雅的兒子阿彼瑟在鹽谷擊殺了一萬八千厄東人後，

13 And he put a garrison in Edom, that Edom should serve David: and the Lord preserved David in all things to which he went.

達味遂又屯兵厄東，厄東人全臣屬於達味。達味無論往那裏去，上主總使他獲勝。[重要的朝臣]

14 So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.

達味作了全以色列的君王，對自己所有的人民秉公行義。

15 And Joab the son of Sarvia was over the army, and Josaphat the son of Ahilud recorder.

責魯雅的兒子約阿布統領軍隊，阿希路得的兒子約沙法特為御史，

16 And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests: and Susa, scribe.

阿希托布的兒子匝多克和厄貝雅塔爾的兒子阿希默肋客任司祭，沙委沙為秘書，

17 And Banaias the son of Joiada was over the bands of the Cerethi, and the Phelethi: and the sons of David were chief about the king.

約雅達的兒子貝納雅管理革勒提與培肋提人，達味的兒子們在君王左右為輔相。
