اول تواریخ 20

۱ 1 و واقع شد در وقت تحويل سال، هنگام بيرون رفتن پادشاهان، که يوآب قوت لشکر را بيرون آورد، و زمين بني عَمُّون را ويران ساخت و آمده، رَبَّه را محاصره نمود. اما داود در اورشليم ماند و يوآب رَبَّه را تسخير نموده، آن را منهدم ساخت.

Now it happened that, after the course of a year, in the time when kings usually go forth to war, Joab gathered an army with experienced soldiers, and he laid waste to the land of the sons of Ammon. And he continued on and besieged Rabbah. But David was staying in Jerusalem when Joab struck Rabbah and destroyed it.

۲ 2 و داود تاج پادشاه ايشان را از سرش گرفت که وزنش يک وزنه طلا بود و سنگهاي گرانبها داشت و آن را بر سر داود گذاشتند و غنيمت از حد زياده از شهر بردند.

Then David took the crown of Milcom from his head, and he found in it the weight of one talent of gold, and very precious gems. And he made for himself a diadem from it. Also, he took the best spoils of the city, which were very many.

۳ 3 و خلق آنجا را بيرون آورده، ايشان را به ارّه ها و چومهاي آهنين و تيشه ها پاره پاره کرد؛ و داود به همين طور با جميع شهرهاي بني عَمُّون رفتار نمود. پس داود و تمامي قوم به اورشليم برگشتند.

Then he led away the people who were in it. And he caused plows, and sleds, and iron chariots to go over them, so much so that they were cut apart and crushed. So did David treat all the cities of the sons of Ammon. And he returned with all his people to Jerusalem.

۴ 4 و بعد از آن جنگي با فلسطينيان در جازَر، واقع شد که در آن سِبکاي حُوشاتي سِفّاي را که از اولاد رافا بود کشت و ايشان مغلوب شدند.

After these things, a war was begun at Gezer against the Philistines, in which Sibbecai the Hushathite struck Sippai from the race of the Rephaim, and he humbled them.

۵ 5 و باز جنگ با فلسطينيان واقع شد و اَلحانان بن ياعير لحميرا که برادر جُليات جَتِّي بود کُشت که چوب نيزه اش مثل نورد جولاهکان بود.

Also, another war was undertaken against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus, a son of the forest, a Bethlehemite, struck the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the wood of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.

۶ 6 و باز جنگ در جَتّ واقع شد که در آنجا مردي بلند قد بود که بيست وچهار انگشت، شش بر هر دست و شش بر هر پا داشت و او نيز براي رافا زاييده شده بود.

Then too, another war occurred in Gath, in which there was a very tall man, having six digits, that is, all together twenty-four. This man too was born from the stock of the Rephaim.

۷ 7 و چون او اسرائيل را به تنگ آورد، يهُوناتان بن شِمعا برادر داود او را کُشت.

He blasphemed Israel. And Jonathan, the son of Shimea, the brother of David, struck him down.

۸ 8 اينان براي رافا در جَتّ زاييده شدند و به دست داود و به دست بندگانش افتادند.

These were the sons of the Rephaim in Gath, who fell by the hand of David and his servants.
