David's Conquests
1 Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines.
Ikawa baadaye, Daudi akawapiga Wafilisti, akawashinda, akautwaa Gathi na vijiji vyake mikononi mwa Wafilisti.
2 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts.
Akapiga Moabu; na hao Wamoabi wakawa watumwa wa Daudi wakaleta zawadi.
3 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
Tena Daudi akampiga Hadadezeri, mfalme wa Soba, mpaka Hamathi, alipokwenda kujisimamishia mamlaka yake kwenye mto wa Frati.
4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also houghed all the chariot horses , but reserved of them an hundred chariots.
Daudi akampokonya magari elfu, na wapanda farasi saba elfu, na askari waendao kwa miguu ishirini elfu; Daudi akawakata mshipa farasi wote wa magari, ila wa magari mia akawaweka.
5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
Na Washami wa Dameski walipokuja wamsaidie Hadadezeri, mfalme wa Soba, Daudi akapiga katika hao Washami watu ishirini na mbili elfu.
6 Then David put garrisons in Syria-damascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, and brought gifts. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
Ndipo Daudi akaweka ngome katika Shamu ya Dameski; nao Washami wakawa watumwa wa Daudi, wakaleta zawadi. Naye Bwana akampa Daudi kushinda kila alikokwenda.
7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
Tena Daudi akazitwaa ngao za dhahabu zilizovaliwa na watumishi wa Hadadezeri akazileta Yerusalemu.
8 Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
Tena toka Tibhathi, na toka Berothai, miji ya Hadadezeri, Daudi akatwaa shaba nyingi mno, aliyofanyizia Sulemani ile bahari ya shaba, na zile nguzo, na vile vyombo vya shaba.
9 Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;
Hata aliposikia Tou, mfalme wa Hamathi, ya kuwa Daudi amewapiga jeshi lote la Hadadezeri, mfalme wa Soba,
10 he sent Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with Tou;) and with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.
akampeleka mwanawe Hadoramu kwa mfalme Daudi, ili kumsalimia, na kumbarikia, kwa sababu alikuwa amepigana na Hadadezeri, na kumpiga; kwa maana Hadadezeri alikuwa amepigana vita juu ya Tou; naye akaleta vyombo vya dhahabu, na fedha, na shaba, vya namna zote.
11 Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
Hivi pia mfalme Daudi akavifanya wakfu kwa Bwana, pamoja na hiyo fedha na dhahabu, aliyoteka nyara kwa mataifa yote; kwa Edomu, na kwa Moabu, na kwa wana wa Amoni, na kwa Wafilisti, na kwa Amaleki.
12 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.
Tena Abishai, mwana wa Seruya, akawapiga wa Waedomi katika Bonde la Chumvi watu kumi na nane elfu.
13 And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David's servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
Akaweka ngome katika Edomu; na Waedomi wote wakawa watumwa wa Daudi. Naye Bwana akampa Daudi kushinda, kila alikokwenda.
14 So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.
Basi Daudi akatawala juu ya Israeli wote; akawafanyia hukumu na haki watu wake wote.
15 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder.
Na Yoabu mwana wa Seruya akawa juu ya jeshi; na Yehoshafati mwana wa Ahiludi mwenye kuandika tarehe.
16 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;
Na Sadoki mwana wa Ahitubu, na Ahimeleki mwana wa Abiathari, walikuwa makuhani; na Shausha mwandishi;
17 and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king.
na Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada alikuwa juu ya Wakerethi na Wapelethi; na wana wa Daudi walikuwa wakuu kumzunguka mfalme.
