1 Kwasekusithi emva kwalokho uDavida watshaya amaFilisti, wawehlisela phansi; uDavida wasethatha iMethegama esandleni samaFilisti.
After this it happened that David struck the Philistines, and subdued them, and David took the bridle of Ammah out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 Wasetshaya amaMowabi, wawalinganisa ngentambo, ewalalisa emhlabathini; walinganisa intambo ezimbili ukubulala, lentambo epheleleyo ukuwayekela ephila. Ngokunjalo amaMowabi aba zinceku zikaDavida, eletha izipho.
He struck Moab, and measured them with the line, making them to lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. The Moabites became servants to David, and brought tribute.
3 UDavida wasetshaya uHadadezeri indodana kaRehobi inkosi yeZoba, ekuhambeni kwakhe ukubuyisela amandla akhe emfuleni iYufrathi.
David struck also Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his dominion at the River.
4 UDavida wasethumba kuye inqola eziyinkulungwane, labagadi bamabhiza abangamakhulu ayisikhombisa, lamadoda ahamba ngenyawo ayizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili; waquma imisipha yawo wonke amabhiza enqola, kodwa watshiya kuwo izinqola ezilikhulu.
And David took from him a thousand of his chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for one hundred chariots.
5 Lapho amaSiriya aweDamaseko efika ukusiza uHadadezeri inkosi yeZoba, uDavida watshaya amadoda ayizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lambili kumaSiriya.
When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck of the Arameans two and twenty thousand men.
6 UDavida wasebeka amabutho enqaba eSiriya yeDamaseko; njalo amaSiriya aba zinceku zikaDavida, eletha izipho. INkosi yasimlondoloza uDavida loba ngaphi lapho aya khona.
Then David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus; and the Arameans became servants to David, and brought tribute. The LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.
7 UDavida wasethatha izihlangu zegolide ezazisezincekwini zikaHadadezeri, waziletha eJerusalema.
And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem, which, later on, were also taken by Shishak king of Egypt in the days of Rehoboam son of Solomon when he went up to Jerusalem.
8 Inkosi uDavida yasithatha ithusi elinengi kakhulu eBeta leBerothayi, imizi kaHadadezeri.
From Tebah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took a very great amount of bronze.
9 Lapho uToyi inkosi yeHamathi esizwa ukuthi uDavida wayetshaye ibutho lonke likaHadadezeri,
When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the army of Hadadezer,
10 uToyi wasethuma uJoramu indodana yakhe enkosini uDavida ukuyibuza impilo lokuyibusisa, ngoba yayilwe loHadadezeri yamtshaya (ngoba uHadadezeri waba lezimpi loToyi); njalo esandleni sakhe kwakulezitsha zesiliva lezitsha zegolide lezitsha zethusi.
then Toi sent Hadoram his son to king David, to greet him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And he brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze.
11 Lazo inkosi uDavida yazehlukanisela iNkosi kanye lesiliva legolide eyayilehlukanisile livela ezizweni zonke eyayizehlisele phansi,
King David also dedicated these to the LORD, with the silver and gold that he dedicated of all the nations which he subdued;
12 eSiriya, lakoMowabi, lakubantwana bakoAmoni, lakumaFilisti, leAmaleki, lempangweni kaHadadezeri indodana kaRehobi, inkosi yeZoba.
of Edom, and of Moab, and of the people of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
13 UDavida wasezenzela ibizo ekubuyeni kwakhe ekutshayeni amaSiriya, esihotsheni seTshwayi, izinkulungwane ezilitshumi lesificaminwembili.
And David made a name for himself when he returned from defeating the Arameans. And Abishai son of Zeruiah defeated the Edomites in the Valley of Salt--eighteen thousand.
14 Wasebeka inqaba zamabutho eEdoma; kuyo yonke iEdoma wabeka inqaba zamabutho, labo bonke abeEdoma baba zinceku zikaDavida. INkosi yasimlondoloza uDavida loba ngaphi lapho aya khona.
And he put a garrison in Edom, and all the Edomites became servants to David. The LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.
15 UDavida wabusa-ke phezu kukaIsrayeli wonke; uDavida wayesenza ukwahlulela lokulunga kubo bonke abantu bakhe.
David reigned over all Israel; and David executed justice and righteousness to all his people.
16 Njalo uJowabi indodana kaZeruya wayephezu kwebutho; loJehoshafathi indodana kaAhiludi wayengumabhalane;
Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
17 loZadoki indodana kaAhitubi loAhimeleki indodana kaAbhiyatha babengabapristi; loSeraya wayengumbhali;
and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Shisha was scribe;
18 loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyadawayephezu kwamaKerethi lamaPelethi; lamadodana kaDavida ayeyiziphathamandla.
and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief ministers.
