1 At nangyari sa panahon ng pagpihit ng taon, sa panahong ang mga hari ay nagsisilabas sa pakikipagbaka, na pinatnubayan ni Joab ang hukbo, at sinira ang lupain ng mga anak ni Ammon, at naparoon at kinubkob ang Rabba. Nguni't si David ay naghintay sa Jerusalem. At sinaktan ni Joab ang Rabba, at sinira.

1 Then it happened in the spring, at the time when kings go out to battle, that Joab led out the army and ravaged the land of the sons of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. And Joab struck Rabbah and overthrew it.

2 At kinuha ni David ang putong ng kanilang hari sa ibabaw ng kaniyang ulo, at nasumpungang may timbang na isang talentong ginto, at may mga mahalagang bato roon: at naputong sa ulo ni David: at kaniyang inilabas ang samsam sa bayan, na totoong marami.

2 David took the crown of their king from his head, and he found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there was a precious stone in it; and it was placed on David’s head. And he brought out the spoil of the city, a very great amount.

3 At kaniyang inilabas ang bayan na nandoon, at pinutol sila ng mga lagari, at ng mga suyod na bakal, at ng mga palakol. At ganito ang ginawa ni David sa lahat ng mga bayan ng mga anak ni Ammon. At si David at ang buong bayan ay bumalik sa Jerusalem.

3 He brought out the people who were in it, and cut them with saws and with sharp instruments and with axes. And thus David did to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

4 At nangyari, pagkatapos nito, na nagkaroon ng pagdidigma sa Gezer laban sa mga Filisteo: nang magkagayo'y pinatay ni Sibbecai na Husathita si Sippai, sa mga anak ng mga higante; at sila'y sumuko.

4 Now it came about after this, that war broke out at Gezer with the Philistines; then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the giants, and they were subdued.

5 At nagkaroon uli ng pakikipagdigma laban sa mga Filisteo; at pinatay ni Elhanan na anak ni Jair si Lahmi na kapatid ni Goliath na Getheo, na ang puluhan ng sibat niya ay gaya ng panghabi ng manghahabi.

5 And there was war with the Philistines again, and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.

6 At nagkaroon uli ng pagdidigma sa Gath, na doo'y may isang lalaking may malaking bulas, na ang mga daliri ng kamay at paa ay dalawangpu't apat, anim sa bawa't kamay at anim sa bawa't paa; at siya rin nama'y ipinanganak sa higante.

6 Again there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot; and he also was descended from the giants.

7 At nang kaniyang hamunin ang Israel, pinatay siya ni Jonathan na anak ni Sima na kapatid ni David.

7 When he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.

8 Ang mga ito ang ipinanganak sa higante sa Gath, at sila'y nangabuwal sa pamamagitan ng kamay ni David, at sa pamamagitan ng kamay ng mga lingkod niya.

8 These were descended from the giants in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
