1Pea hili eni naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe teʻia ʻe Tevita ʻae kakai Filisitia, mo ne ikuna ʻakinautolu, mo ne kapasia ʻa Kati mo hono ngaahi kolo mei he nima ʻoe kakai Filisitia.
1Some time later, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Gath and its villages from the hand of the Philistines.
2Pea naʻa ne teʻia ʻa Moape; pea naʻe hoko ʻae kakai Moape ko e kau hopoate kia Tevita, pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae ngaahi koloa.
2David also defeated the Moabites, and they became subject to David and brought him tribute.
3¶ Pea naʻe teʻia ʻe Tevita ʻa Hetatesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Sopa ʻo aʻu ki Hamati, lolotonga ʻa ʻene ʻalu ke fakamālohi hono puleʻanga ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ko ʻIufaletesi.
3As far as Hamath, David also defeated King Hadadezer of Zobah, who had marched out to establish his dominion along the Euphrates River.
4Pea naʻe toʻo mai ʻe Tevita meiate ia ʻae ngaahi saliote ʻe afe, mo e kakai heka hoosi ʻe toko fitu afe, mo e kakai hāʻele ʻe toko ua mano: pea naʻe tuʻusi foki ʻe Tevita ʻae uoua ʻoe vaʻe ʻoe fanga hoosi kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi saliote, ka naʻa ne tuku ha hoosi ki he saliote ʻe teau.
4David captured from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand charioteers, and twenty thousand foot soldiers, and he hamstrung all the horses except a hundred he kept for the chariots.
5Pea ʻi he kuonga naʻe haʻu ai ʻae kakai Silia mei Tamasikusi, ke tokoni kia Hetatesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Sopa, naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Tevita ʻae kakai Silia ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko ua mano mo e ua afe.
5When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand men.
6Hili ia naʻe tuku ʻe Tevita ha kautau ki Silia-Tamasikusi: pea naʻe hoko ʻae kakai Silia ko e kau hopoate kia Tevita, pea naʻa nau ʻomi koloa. Naʻe pehē ʻae fakamoʻui ʻa Tevita ʻe Sihova ʻi he potu kotoa pē naʻa ne ʻalu ki ai.
6Then he placed garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became subject to David and brought him tribute. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
7Pea naʻe toʻo mai ʻe Tevita ʻae ngaahi sifa koula naʻe kofuʻaki ʻe he kakai ʻo Hetatesa, ʻo ne ʻomi ia ki Selūsalema.
7And David took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.
8Pea mei Tipati foki, pea mei Kuni, ko e ongo kolo ʻa Hetatesa, naʻe ʻomi ʻe Tevita ʻae palasa lahi ʻaupito, ʻaia naʻe ngaohiʻaki ʻe Solomone ʻae fuʻu ʻaiʻanga vai lahi, mo e ngaahi pou, mo e ngaahi ipu palasa.
8And from Tibhath and Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David took a large amount of bronze, with which Solomon made the bronze Sea, the pillars, and various bronze articles.
9¶ Pea ko eni, ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻe Tou ko e tuʻi ʻo Hamati ki he teʻia ʻe Tevita ʻae kautau kotoa pē ʻo Hetatesa ko e tuʻi ʻa Sopa;
9When King Tou of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,
10Naʻa ne fekau ʻa Hatolami ko hono foha ke ʻalu kia Tevita, ke ʻaʻahi fakakāinga kiate ia, mo ne lea lelei kiate ia, koeʻuhi ko ʻene tauʻi ʻa Hetatesa, mo ne teʻia ia; (he naʻe faʻa tau ʻa Hetatesa mo Tou;) pea naʻe ʻoange mo ia ʻae ngaahi ipu koula mo e siliva mo e palasa.
10he sent his son Hadoram to greet King David and bless him for fighting and defeating Hadadezer, who had been at war with Tou. Hadoram brought all kinds of articles of gold and silver and bronze,
11Naʻe fakatapui foki ia ʻe Tevita kia Sihova, ʻaia mo e siliva mo e koula naʻa ne ʻomi mei he ngaahi puleʻanga ko ia ; mei ʻItomi, pea mo Moape, pea mei he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea mei he kakai Filisitia, pea mei ʻAmaleki.
11and King David dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had carried off from all these nations—from Edom and Moab, and from the Ammonites, Philistines, and Amalekites.
12Pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe ʻApisai foki ko e tama ʻa Seluia ʻae kau ʻItomi ʻe tokotaha mano mo e toko valu afe ʻi he potu talalo ʻoe māsima.
12Moreover, Abishai son of Zeruiah struck down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
13Pea naʻa ne fakanofo ʻae ngaahi kautau ʻi ʻItomi; pea naʻe hoko ʻo tamaioʻeiki kia Tevita ʻae kakai ʻItomi kotoa pē. naʻe pehē ʻae fakamoʻui ʻa Tevita ʻe Sihova ʻi he potu kotoa pē naʻa ne ʻalu ki ai.
13He placed garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
14¶ Ko ia, naʻe pule ʻa Tevita ki ʻIsileli kātoa, mo ne fai ʻae fakamaau mo e pule totonu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ʻene kakai kotoa pē.
14Thus David reigned over all Israel and administered justice and righteousness for all his people:
15Pea naʻe pule ʻa Soape ko e tama ʻa Seluia ki he kautau; pea ko Sihosafate ko e foha ʻo ʻAhilute ko e tangata tohi meʻa fakapuleʻanga ia.
15Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
16Pea ko Satoki ko e foha ʻo ʻAhitupe, mo ʻApimeleki ko e foha ʻo ʻApiata, ko e ongo taulaʻeiki ʻakinaua; pea ko Savisa ko e tangata tohi ia;
16Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Shavsha was the scribe;
17Pea naʻe pule ʻa Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sihoiata ki he kakai Keliti mo e kakai Peleti; pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Tevita naʻe tuʻu ʻo ofi ki he tuʻi.
17Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief officials at the king’s side.
