1Zvino gore rakati rapera, panguva yokurwa kwamadzimambo, Joabhu akaenda nehondo ine simba, akaparadza nyika yavana vaAmoni, akandokomba Rabha. Asi Dhavhidhi akasara Jerusaremu. Joabhu akakunda Rabha, akariputsa.
1It happened, at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, that Joab led forth the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. Joab struck Rabbah, and overthrew it.
2Dhavhidhi akabvisa korona yamambo wavo pamusoro wake, akawana kuti inosvika tarenda rimwe rendarama pakurema kwayo, uye yakanga ina mabwe anokosha ikaiswa pamusoro waDhavhidhi; akapamba zvizhinji kwazvo paguta iro.
2David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set on David’s head: and he brought forth the spoil of the city, exceeding much.
3Akabudisawo vanhu vakanga varimo, akavacheka namajeko, nembambo dzamatare, uye namasanhu. Dhavhidhi akaita saizvozvo namaguta ose avana vaAmoni. Dhavhidhi navanhu vose vakadzokera Jerusaremu.
3He brought forth the people who were therein, and cut them with saws, and with iron picks, and with axes. David did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
4Zvino shure kwaizvozvo kurwa kukazomuka paGezeri navaFirisitia; Shibhekai muHushati, akauraya Sipai, mumwe wavanakomana vaRafa.
4It happened after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines: then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, of the sons of the giant; and they were subdued.
5Vakarwazve navaFirisitia; Erihanani mwanakomana waJairi akauraya Rami munin'ina waGoriati muGiti, rwiriko rwepfumo rake rwakanga rwakafanana nedanda romuruki.
5There was again war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
6Vakarwazve paGati, pakanga pano munhu murefu kwazvo, akanga ane mimwe nezvigumwe zvose zvina makumi maviri nezvina, mitanhatu paruoko rumwe norumwe, nezvitanhatu parutsoka rumwe norumwe; naiyewo akanga akaberekerwa Rafa.
6There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were twenty-four, six on each hand, and six on each foot; and he also was born to the giant.
7Zvino akati achishora vaIsiraeri, Jonatani mwanakomana waShimea, munin'ina waDhavhidhi akamuuraya.
7When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother killed him.
8Ndivo vakaberekerwa Rafa paGati; vakaurawa naDhavhidhi, uye navaranda vake.
8These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
