2 Samuel 8
1 Beberapa waktu kemudian Raja Daud menyerang orang Filistin lagi. Ia mengalahkan mereka dan merebut tanah mereka.
And it came to pass after this, that David struck the Philistines, and put them to flight, and David took the tribute from out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 Daud juga mengalahkan orang Moab. Disuruhnya mereka berbaring di tanah, lalu dibunuhnya dua orang di antara tiap tiga orang. Jadi, orang Moab takluk kepada Daud dan membayar upeti kepadanya.
And David struck Moab, and measured them out with lines, having laid them down on the ground: and there were two lines for slaying, and two lines he kept alive: and Moab became servants to David, yielding tribute.
3 Selanjutnya Daud mengalahkan Raja Hadadezer anak Rehob yang memerintah di Zoba, yaitu sebuah kerajaan dekat Damsyik. Pada waktu itu Hadadezer sedang dalam perjalanan hendak memulihkan kekuasaannya atas wilayah di dekat hulu Sungai Efrat.
And David struck Adraazar the son of Raab king of Suba, as he went to extend his power to the river Euphrates.
4 Daud menawan 1.700 orang tentara berkuda dan 20.000 orang tentara berjalan kaki. Ia melumpuhkan semua kuda, kecuali sebagian, cukup untuk seratus kereta perang.
And David took a thousand of his chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all his chariot [horses], and he reserved to himself a hundred chariots.
5 Orang Siria dari Damsyik mengirim tentara untuk menolong Raja Hadadezer. Tetapi Daud mengalahkan mereka dan menewaskan 22.000 orang dari mereka.
And Syria of Damascus comes to help Adraazar king of Suba, and David struck twenty-two thousand men belonging to the Syrian.
6 Kemudian Daud mendirikan perkemahan-perkemahan militer dalam wilayah mereka, dan mereka takluk serta membayar upeti kepadanya. TUHAN memberikan kemenangan kepada Daud di mana pun ia berperang.
And David placed a garrison in Syria near Damascus, and the Syrians became servants and tributaries to David: and the Lord preserved David wherever he went.
7 Tameng-tameng emas yang dipakai oleh tentara Hadadezer dirampas oleh Daud dan dibawa ke Yerusalem.
And David took the golden bracelets which were on the servants of Adraazar king of Suba, and brought them to Jerusalem. And Susakim king of Egypt took them, when he went up to Jerusalem in the days of Roboam son of Solomon.
8 Selain itu Daud juga mengambil perunggu banyak sekali dari Betah dan Berotai, kota-kota yang dahulu dikuasai oleh Hadadezer.
And king David took from Metebac, and from the choice cities of Adraazar, very much brass: with that Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the lavers, and all the furniture.
9 Raja Tou dari Hamat mendengar bahwa Daud telah mengalahkan seluruh tentara Hadadezer.
And You the king of Hemath heard that David had struck all the host of Adraazar.
10 Maka ia mengutus Yoram putranya untuk menyampaikan salam kepada Raja Daud dan mengucapkan selamat atas kemenangannya itu, sebab Hadadezer sudah sering berperang dengan Tou. Yoram datang kepada Daud dengan membawa banyak hadiah dari emas, perak dan perunggu.
And You sent Jedduram his son to king David, to ask him of his welfare, and to congratulate him on his fighting against Adraazar and striking him, for he was an enemy to Adraazar: and in his hands were vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass.
11 Raja Daud mempersembahkan semua hadiah itu kepada TUHAN untuk dipergunakan dalam upacara ibadat. Demikian juga dilakukannya dengan barang-barang emas dan perak yang telah dirampasnya dari Hadadezer dan bangsa-bangsa yang dikalahkannya, yaitu bangsa Edom, Moab, Amon, Filistin dan Amalek.
And these king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and with the gold which he consecrated out of all the cities which he conquered,
out of Idumea, and out of Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalec, and from the spoils of Adraazar son of Raab king of Suba.
13 Nama Daud menjadi lebih termasyhur lagi ketika ia kembali setelah menewaskan 18.000 orang Edom di Lembah Asin.
And David made [himself] a name: and when he returned he struck Idumea in Gebelem to [the number of] eighteen thousand.
14 Ia mendirikan perkemahan-perkemahan militer di seluruh Edom, dan orang-orang Edom itu takluk kepadanya. TUHAN memberikan kemenangan kepada Daud di mana pun ia berperang.
And he set garrisons in Idumea, even in all Idumea: and all the Idumeans were servants to the king. And the Lord preserved David wherever he went.
15 Demikianlah Daud memerintah seluruh Israel dan menjaga agar rakyatnya selalu diperlakukan dengan adil dan baik.
And David reigned over all Israel: and David wrought judgment and justice over all his people.
16 Inilah pejabat-pejabat tinggi yang diangkat oleh Daud: Panglima angkatan bersenjata: Yoab anak Zeruya; Sekretaris istana: Yosafat anak Ahilud; Imam-imam: Zadok anak Ahitub, dan Ahimelekh anak Abyatar; Sekretaris negara: Seraya
And Joab the son of Saruia [was] over the host; and Josaphat the son of Achilud [was keeper] of the records.
