2 Samuela 8

1After this David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and David took Metheg-ammah out of the hand of the Philistines.

1PEA hili eni naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe teʻia ʻe Tevita ʻae kakai Filisitia, ʻo ne ikuna ʻakinautolu: pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Tevita ʻa Metekiama mei he nima ʻoe kakai Filisitia.

2And he defeated Moab and he measured them with a line, making them lie down on the ground. Two lines he measured to be put to death, and one full line to be spared. And the Moabites became servants to David and brought tribute.

2Pea naʻa ne taaʻi ʻa Moape, mo ne fuofua kinautolu ʻaki ʻae afo, mo ne lī hifo kinautolu ki he kelekele; ʻio, ko e fuaʻanga ʻe ua ke fai ai ʻae tāmate, pea ko e fuaʻanga kātoa ʻe taha ke fakamoʻui. Pea naʻe hoko ʻae kakai Moape, ko e kau hopoate kia Tevita, mo e tukuhau.

3David also defeated Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to restore his power at the river Euphrates.

3Naʻe taaʻi foki ʻe Tevita ʻa Hetatesa ko e foha ʻo Lehopi, ko e tuʻi ʻo Sopa, ʻi heʻene ʻalu atu ke toe maʻu mai hono ngataʻanga fonua ki he vaitafe ko ʻIufaletesi.

4And David took from him 1,700 horsemen, and 20,000 foot soldiers. And David hamstrung all the chariot horses but left enough for 100 chariots.

4Pea naʻe maʻu meiate ia ʻe Tevita ʻa e saliote ʻe taha afe, mo e kau heka hoosi ʻe toko fitungeau, mo e kakai hāʻele ʻe toko ua mano: pea naʻe tuʻusi ʻe Tevita ʻae uoua ʻoe vaʻe ʻoe fanga hoosi ʻoe saliote kotoa pē, ka naʻe tuku ʻe ia ʻae hoosi ki he saliote ʻe teau.

5And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck down 22,000 men of the Syrians.

5Pea ʻi heʻene haʻu ʻae kakai Silia mei Tamasikusi ke tokoni kia Hetatesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Sopa, naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Tevita ʻi he kakai Silia ʻae toko ua mano mo e toko ua afe.

6Then David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Syrians became servants to David and brought tribute. And the LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.

6Pea naʻe toki tuku ʻe Tevita ʻae kautau ke leʻo ʻi Silia ʻo Tamasikusi: pea naʻe hoko ʻae kakai Silia ko e kau hopoate kia Tevita, pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae ngaahi koloa kiate ia. Pea naʻe fakahaofi ʻa Tevita ʻe Sihova ʻi he potu kotoa pē naʻa ne ʻalu ki ai.

7And David took the shields of gold that were carried by the servants of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.

7Pea naʻe toʻo mai ʻe Tevita ʻae ngaahi pā fakakoula, ʻaia naʻe ʻai ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Hetatesa, ʻo ne ʻomi ia ki Selūsalema.

8And from Betah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took very much bronze.

8Pea naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻae palasa naʻe ʻomi ʻe Tevita ko e tuʻi mei Peta pea mei Petotai ko e ongo kolo ʻo Hetatesa.

9When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had defeated the whole army of Hadadezer,

9Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻe Toi ko e tuʻi ʻo Hemati ki he teʻia ʻe Tevita ʻae kautau kotoa pē ʻo Hetatesa,

10Toi sent his son Joram to King David, to ask about his health and to bless him because he had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him, for Hadadezer had often been at war with Toi. And Joram brought with him articles of silver, of gold, and of bronze.

10Naʻe toki ʻave ai ʻe Toi ʻa Solami ko hono foha kia Tevita ko e tuʻi, ke feʻiloaki mo ia, pea ke fakamālō kiate ia, koeʻuhi ko ʻene tauʻi ʻa Hetatesa, mo ne teʻia ia: he naʻe faʻa tau ʻa Hetatesa mo Toi. Pea naʻe ʻave mo Solami ʻae ngaahi ipu siliva, mo e ngaahi ipu koula, mo e ngaahi ipu palasa:

11These also King David dedicated to the LORD, together with the silver and gold that he dedicated from all the nations he subdued,

11‌ʻaia foki naʻe fakatapui ʻe Tevita kia Sihova, fakataha mo e siliva mo e koula ʻaia naʻa ne fakatapui mei he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē naʻa ne ikuna;

12from Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, Amalek, and from the spoil of Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

12Mei Silia, pea mei Moape, pea mo e fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea mo e kakai Filisitia, pea mo ʻAmaleki, pea mei he koloa ʻa Hetatesa, ko e foha ʻo Lehopi, ko e tuʻi ʻo Sapa.

13And David made a name for himself when he returned from striking down 18,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

13Pea naʻe ongoongoa ʻae hingoa ʻo Tevita ʻi heʻene liliu mai mei heʻene taaʻi ʻae kakai Silia ʻi he teleʻa ʻoe māsima, ko e tokotaha mano mo e toko valu afe.

14Then he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom he put garrisons, and all the Edomites became David’s servants. And the LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.

14Pea naʻa ne tuku ʻae kautau ke leʻo ki ʻItomi; ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻo ʻItomi naʻa ne tuku ʻae kautau ke leʻohi pea naʻe toka mai ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo ʻItomi kia Tevita. Pea naʻe fakahaofi ʻa Tevita ʻe Sihova ʻi he potu kotoa pē naʻa ne ʻalu ki ai.

15So David reigned over all Israel. And David administered justice and equity to all his people.

15Pea naʻe pule ʻa Tevita ki ʻIsileli kotoa; pea naʻe fai ʻe Tevita ʻae fakamaau mo fai totonu ki heʻene kakai kotoa pē.

16Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army, and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder,

16Pea naʻe pule ʻae kautau ʻa Soape ko e tama ʻo Seluia; pea ko e tangata naʻe tohi ʻae meʻa fakapuleʻanga. Ko Sihosafate ko e foha ʻo ʻAhilute;

17and Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were priests, and Seraiah was secretary,

17Pea naʻe taulaʻeiki ʻa Satoki ko e foha ʻo ʻAhitupe, pea mo ʻAhimeleki ko e foha ʻo ʻApiata; pea ko e tangata tohi ʻa Selaia;

18and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and David’s sons were priests.

18Pea naʻe pule ʻa Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata ki he kakai Keliti pea mo e kakai Peleti fakatouʻosi; pea naʻe tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he pule ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Tevita.
