2 Samuel 8
1 And it came to pass, after this, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, —and David took the bridle of the metropolis, out of the hand of the Philistines.
此後，大衛攻打非利士人，把他們治服，從他們手下奪取了京城的權柄；
2 And he smote Moab, and measured them with the line casting, them down to the ground, and be measured with two lines to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive, —so the Moabites became David’s, as servants, bringing gifts.
又攻打摩押人，使他們躺臥在地上，用繩量一量：量二繩的殺了，量一繩的存留。摩押人就歸服大衛，給他進貢。
3 And David smote Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, —when he went to lay his hand on the River Euphrates.
瑣巴王利合的兒子哈大底謝往大河去，要奪回他的國權。大衛就攻打他，
4 And David captured from him, a thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, —and David destroyed all the chariots, but reserved of them, a hundred chariots.
擒拿了他的馬兵一千七百，步兵二萬，將拉戰車的馬砍斷蹄筋，但留下一百輛車的馬。
5 And, when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David smote of the Syrians, twenty-two thousand men.
大馬士革的亞蘭人來幫助瑣巴王哈大底謝，大衛就殺了亞蘭人二萬二千。
6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus, and the Syrians became David’s, as servants bringing gifts, —and so Yahweh gave victory unto David, whithersoever he went.
於是大衛在大馬士革的亞蘭地設立防營，亞蘭人就歸服他，給他進貢。大衛無論往哪裏去，耶和華都使他得勝。
7 And David took the shields of gold which had come to the servants of Hadadezer, —and brought them to Jerusalem;
他奪了哈大底謝臣僕所拿的金盾牌，帶到耶路撒冷。
8 also, from Betah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, did King David take bronze, exceeding much.
大衛王又從屬哈大底謝的比他和比羅他城中奪取了許多的銅。
9 And, when Tou king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the forces of Hadadezer,
哈馬王陀以聽見大衛殺敗哈大底謝的全軍，
10 then Tou sent Hadoram his son unto King David, to ask after his welfare, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and had smitten him, for Hadadezer had had wars with Tou, —and, in his hand, were vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze.
就打發他兒子約蘭去見大衛王，問他的安，為他祝福，因為他殺敗了哈大底謝（原來陀以與哈大底謝常常爭戰）。約蘭帶了金銀銅的器皿來，
11 Them also, did King David hallow unto Yahweh, —with the silver and the gold which he had hallowed from all the nations which he had subdued:
大衛王將這些器皿和他治服各國所得來的金銀都分別為聖，獻給耶和華，
12 from Syria, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek, —and from the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
就是從亞蘭、摩押、亞捫、非利士、亞瑪力人所得來的，以及從瑣巴王利合的兒子哈大底謝所掠之物。
13 And David made a name, when he returned from his smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, —eighteen thousand.
大衛在鹽谷擊殺了亞蘭一萬八千人回來，就得了大名；
14 And he put, in Edom, garrisons, throughout all Edom, put be garrisons, and so it was that all Edom became servants unto David, —and Yahweh gave victory unto David, whithersoever he went.
又在以東全地設立防營，以東人就都歸服大衛。大衛無論往哪裏去，耶和華都使他得勝。
15 And David reigned over all Israel, —and so it was that David used to execute justice and righteousness for all his people;
大衛作以色列眾人的王，又向眾民秉公行義。
16 and, Joab, son of Zeruiah, was over the army, —and, Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, was remembrancer.

亞希突的兒子撒督和亞比亞他的兒子亞希米勒作祭司長；西萊雅作書記；
18 and, Benaiah, son of Jehoiadah, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites, —and, the sons of David, became, chief rulers.
耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅統轄基利提人和比利提人。大衛的眾子都作領袖。
