Pirmā Laiku 18

1 Un notikās pēc tam, ka Dāvids kāva Fīlistus un tos pārvarēja un uzņēma Gatu un viņas ciemus no Fīlistu rokas.

Some time later, David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and he captured Gath and its nearby towns from the Philistines.

2 Un viņš kāva arī Moabiešus, tā ka Moabieši Dāvidam palika par kalpiem un nesa dāvanas.

David also defeated the Moabites, making them subject to him and requiring them to pay taxes.

3 Dāvids kāva arī HadadEzeru, Cobas ķēniņu, Hamatā, kad šis nogāja savu varu atkal uzcelt pie Eifrat upes.

David then defeated Hadadezer, king of Zobah, near Hamath, as he tried enforce his control along the Euphrates River.

4 Un Dāvids tiem atņēma tūkstoš ratus un septiņtūkstoš jātniekus un divdesmit tūkstoš kājniekus, un Dāvids darīja visus zirgus tizlus un atlicināja no tiem simts zirgus.

David captured from him 1,000 chariots, 7,000 charioteers, and 20,000 foot soldiers. David hamstrung all the chariot horses—except he saved enough for 100 chariots.

5 Un Sīrieši no Damaskus nāca HadadEzeram, Cobas ķēniņam, palīgā, bet Dāvids kāva no Sīriešiem divdesmit divi tūkstoš vīrus.

When the Arameans from Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed 22,000 of them.

6 Un Dāvids lika (karavīrus) Damaskū Sīrijā, un Sīrieši Dāvidam palika par kalpiem un nesa dāvanas; jo Tas Kungs palīdzēja Dāvidam visur, kur viņš gāja.

David placed forces in the Aramean town of Damascus, and also made them subject to him and required them to pay taxes. The Lord gave David victories wherever he went.

7 Un Dāvids ņēma tās zelta priekšturamās bruņas, kas HadadEzera kalpiem bija, un tās pārveda uz Jeruzālemi.

David took the shields of gold that were carried by Hadadezer's officers and brought them to Jerusalem.

8 Dāvids paņēma arī ļoti daudz vara no Tibeatas un no Kunas, HadadEzera pilsētām; no tā Salamans taisīja to vara jūru un tos stabus un tos vara traukus.

David also took a large quantity of bronze from Tibhath and from Cun, towns that had belonged to Hadadezer. Solomon used that bronze to make the bronze sea, the columns, and the various bronze objects.

9 Kad nu Tojus, Hamatas ķēniņš, dzirdēja, ka Dāvids bija kāvis visu HadadEzera, Cobas ķēniņa, karaspēku,

When Tou, king of Hamath, learned that David had destroyed the entire army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah,

10 Tad viņš savu dēlu Adoramu sūtīja pie ķēniņa Dāvida, vaicāt pēc viņa labklāšanās un viņam pateikt, kā tas pret HadadEzeru bija karojis un viņu kāvis, jo HadadEzeram bija karš pret Toju.

he sent his son Hadoram to David to make friends with him and to congratulate him on his victory in battle over Hadadezer. Tou and Hadadezer had often been at war. Hadoram brought gifts of gold, silver, and bronze.

11 Un visus zelta un sudraba un vara traukus, tos ķēniņš Dāvids svētīja Tam Kungam līdz ar to sudrabu un zeltu, ko viņš no visām tautām bija paņēmis, no Edoma un Moaba un no Amona bērniem, no Fīlistiem un no Amalekiešiem.

King David dedicated these gifts to the Lord, along with the silver and gold he had taken from all the following nations: Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalekites.

12 Abizajus, Cerujas dēls, kāva arīdzan Edomiešus sāls ielejā, astoņpadsmit tūkstošus.

Abishai, son of Zeruiah, killed 18,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

13 Un viņš lika karavīrus Edomā, un visi Edomieši palika Dāvidam par kalpiem, jo Tas Kungs palīdzēja Dāvidam visur, kurp tas gāja.

He set up army posts in Edom, and all the Edomites became subject to David. The Lord gave David victories wherever he went.

14 Tā Dāvids valdīja pār visu Israēli un nesa tiesu un taisnību visiem saviem ļaudīm.

David ruled over all Israel. He did what was fair and right for all his people.

15 Un Joabs, Cerujas, dēls, bija pār karaspēku, un Jehošafats, Aķiluda dēls, bija kanclers,
