2 Samuel 8
1 Some time later, David’s army attacked the Philistia [army] and defeated them. They took control over the entire Philistia area.
Ó sì ṣe, lẹ́yìn èyí, Dafidi sì kọlu àwọn Filistini, ó sì tẹrí wọn ba, Dafidi sì gba Metegamima lọ́wọ́ àwọn Filistini.
2 David’s army also defeated the army of the Moab people-group. David forced their soldiers to lie down on the ground [close to each other]. His men killed two out of every three of them. The [other] Moab people [were forced to] accept David as their ruler, and they were forced to give to him [every year the] payment/tax [that he demanded].
Dafidi sì kọlu Moabu, ó sì fi okùn títa kan dì wọ́n, ó sì dá wọn dùbúlẹ̀; ó sì ṣe òsùwọ̀n okùn méjì ni iye àwọn tí yóò dá sí. Àwọn ará Moabu sì ń sin Dafidi, wọn a sì máa mú ẹ̀bùn wá.
3 David’s army also defeated [the army of] Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, who ruled [the state of] Zobah [in Syria]. That happened when David went to rule again over the area at [the upper part of] the Euphrates River.
Dafidi sì kọlu Hadadeseri ọmọ Rehobu, ọba Soba, bí òun sì ti ń lọ láti mú agbára rẹ̀ bọ̀ sípò ni odò Eufurate.
4 David’s army captured 1,700 of Hadadezer’s soldiers who rode on horses, and 20,000 of his other soldiers. They also crippled/hamstrung most of the horses that pulled the chariots, but they left/spared enough horses to [pull] 100 chariots.
Dafidi sì gba ẹgbẹ̀rún kẹ̀kẹ́ lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, àti ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbàárin ẹlẹ́ṣin, àti ogún ẹgbẹ̀rún àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀. Dafidi sì já gbogbo àwọn ẹṣin kẹ̀kẹ́ wọn ní pàtì, ṣùgbọ́n ó dá ọgọ́rùn-ún kẹ̀kẹ́ sí nínú wọn.
5 When [the army of] Syria came from Damascus [city] to help King Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.
Nígbà tí àwọn ará Siria ti Damasku sì wá láti ran Hadadeseri ọba Soba lọ́wọ́, Dafidi sì pa ẹgbẹ̀rún méjìlélógún ènìyàn nínú àwọn ará Siria.
6 Then David stationed (groups of his soldiers/army camps) in their area, and the people of Syria were forced to accept David as their ruler, and to give to David’s government [every year] the payment/tax that he demanded. And Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win victories wherever they went.
Dafidi sì fi àwọn ológun sí Siria ti Damasku, àwọn ará Siria sì wá sin Dafidi, wọn a sì máa mú ẹ̀bùn wá, Olúwa sì pa Dafidi mọ́ níbikíbi tí o ń lọ.
7 David’s soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by Hadadezer’s officials, and brought them to Jerusalem.
Dafidi sì gba àṣà wúrà tí ó wà lára àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Hadadeseri, ó sì gbé wọn wá sí Jerusalẹmu.
8 They also brought [to Jerusalem] a lot of bronze [that they found] in Betah and Berothai, two cities that King Hadadezer [had previously] ruled.
Láti Beta, àti láti Berotai, àwọn ìlú Hadadeseri, ọba Dafidi kó ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ idẹ wá.
9 When Toi, the king of the Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
Nígbà tí Tou ọba Hamati sì gbọ́ pé Dafidi ti pa gbogbo ogun Hadadeseri.
10 he sent his son Joram to greet King David and to (congratulate him/say that he was happy) about his army defeating Hadadezer’s army, which Toi’s [army] had fought many times. Joram brought to David many items/gifts made from gold, silver, and bronze.
Toi sì rán Joramu ọmọ rẹ̀ sí Dafidi ọba, láti kí i, àti láti súre fún un, nítorí pé ó tí bá Hadadeseri jagun, ó sì ti pa á, nítorí tí Hadadeseri sá à ti bá Toi jagun. Joramu sì ni ohun èlò fàdákà, àti ohun èlò wúrà, àti ohun èlò idẹ ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀.
11 King David dedicated all those items to Yahweh. He also dedicated the silver and gold which his army had taken from the nations that they had conquered.
Dafidi ọba sì fi wọ́n fún Olúwa pẹ̀lú fàdákà, àti wúrà tí ó yà sí mímọ́, èyí tí ó ti gbà lọ́wọ́ àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó ti ṣẹ́gun.
12 They had taken items from the Edom people-group and the Moab people-group, from the Ammon people-group, from the Philistia people, and from [the descendants of] Amalek, as well as from the people that Hadadezer [previously] ruled.
Lọ́wọ́ Siria àti lọ́wọ́ Moabu àti lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọmọ Ammoni, àti lọ́wọ́ àwọn Filistini, àti lọ́wọ́ Amaleki, àti nínú ìkógun Hadadeseri ọmọ Rehobu ọba Soba.
13 When David returned [after defeating the armies of Syria], he became more famous because his army killed 18,000 soldiers from the Edom people-group in the Salt Valley [near the Dead Sea].
Dafidi sì ní òkìkí gidigidi nígbà tí ó padà wá ilé láti ibi pípa àwọn ará Siria ní àfonífojì Iyọ̀, àwọn tí o pa jẹ́ ẹgbàá mẹ́sàn ènìyàn.
14 David stationed (groups of his soldiers/army camps) throughout the Edom area, and forced the people there to accept him as their king. Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win battles wherever they went.
Ó sì fi àwọn ológun sí Edomu; àti ní gbogbo Edomu yíká ni òun sì fi ológun sí, gbogbo àwọn tí ó wà ní Edomu sì wá sin Dafidi, Olúwa sì fún Dafidi ní ìṣẹ́gun níbikíbi tí ó ń lọ.
15 David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was fair and just.
Dafidi sì jẹ ọba lórí gbogbo Israẹli; Dafidi sì ṣe ìdájọ́ àti òtítọ́ fún àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
16 Joab was the army commander; Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the man who reported to the people everything that David decided that they should do;
Joabu ọmọ Seruiah ni ó sì ń ṣe olórí ogun; Jehoṣafati ọmọ Ahiludi sì ń ṣe akọ̀wé.
17 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the priests; Seraiah was the official secretary;
Sadoku ọmọ Ahitubu, àti Ahimeleki ọmọ Abiatari, ni àwọn àlùfáà; Seraiah a sì máa ṣe akọ̀wé.
18 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was the commander of (David’s bodyguards/the men who protected the king); and David’s sons were priests (OR, his administrators/advisors).
Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada ni ó sì ń ṣe olórí àwọn Kereti, àti àwọn Peleti; àwọn ọmọ Dafidi sì jẹ́ aláṣẹ.
