2 Sa:miuele 5
1 Amalalu, Isala: ili fi huluane da Hibalone moilai bai bagadega Da: ibidima misini, ema amane sia: i, “Ninia da di defele maga: me amola hu afadafa fawane gala.
Then [the leaders of] all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, and said to him, “Listen, we have the same ancestors [IDM] that you do.
2 Musaga, Solo da ninia hina bagade esaloba, di da Isala: ili dunu oule gegena ahoasu. Amola, Hina Gode da di Ea fi bisilua amola ouligisu hamoma: ne, ilegei dagoi.”
In the past, when Saul was our king, it was you who led our Israeli soldiers [in our battles]. You are the one to whom Yahweh promised, ‘You will be the leader [MET] of my people; you will be their king.’”
3 Amaiba: le, Isala: ili ouligisu dunu huluane da Hibalone moilai bai bagadega Da: ibidima misi. E amola ilia da gousa: su sema hamoi. Ilia da Da: ibidima susuligi sogagala: le, e Isala: ili hina bagade hamoma: ne ilegei.
So while Yahweh was listening, all those leaders of the people of Israel declared there at Hebron [that David would be their king]. And David made a sacred agreement with them. They anointed him [with olive oil to set him apart] to be the king of the Israeli people.
4 Da: ibidi da lalelegele, ode30agoane gidigili esalu, hina bagade hawa: hamosu bai muni hamoi. E da ode 40 agoane Isala: ili fi ouligilalu.
David was 30 years old when he became their king. He ruled them for 40 years.
5 E da Hibalone moilai bai bagadega esalu, Yuda soge ode fesuale amola oubi gafeyale agoane ouligi. Amola e da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade amoga esalu, ode33 agoane Isala: ili amola Yuda gilisili ouligisu.
In Hebron he ruled over the tribe of Judah for seven and a half years, and in Jerusalem he ruled over all the people of Judah and Israel for 33 years.
6 Hina Da: ibidi amola ea dunu da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade doagala: musa: asi. Yebiusaide dunu da amogawi esalu. Ilia da Da: ibidi da ilima hasalimu da hamedei agoane dawa: i. Ilia da ema amane sia: i, “Di da ninia moilaiga doagala: le golili sa: imu da hamedeidafa. Si dofoi dunu amola gasuga: igi dunu da dia nini mae hasalima: ne gaga: mu da defele ba: mu.”
[One day] King David and his soldiers went to Jerusalem to fight against the Jebus people-group who lived there. The people there thought that David’s army would not be able to capture the city, so they sent a message to David, saying “Your army will never be able to get inside our city! Even the blind and crippled people will be able to chase you away!”
7 (Be Da: ibidi da ilia gagili sali moilai amo Saione amoma gegenanu fedele lai. Fa: no ilia da amo moilai dio “Da: ibidi ea Moilai Bai Bagade” asuli.)
But David’s army captured the fortress on Zion [Hill], [and later it was known as] David’s City.
8 Amo esoha, Da: ibidi da ea dunuma amane sia: i, “Dunu mogili amo da na defele Yebiusaide dunuma higabeba: le, ili fuga: musa: hanabela: ? Amai galea, amo hano osobaha golili ahoasu logo amoga heda: le, amo hahani si dofoi amola gasuga: igi dunu doagala: ma.” (Amaiba: le, dunu da wali agoane sia: sa, “Si dofoi amola gasuga: igi dunu da Hina Gode Ea diasu ganodini golili sa: imu hamedei gala.”)
On that day, David said [to his soldiers], “Those who want to get rid of the Jebus people-group should go through the water tunnel [to enter the city]. Then they can attack those people whom I [SYN] detest—[and we will find out if any] blind and crippled people [will be able to stop them]!” That is why people say, “Blind and crippled people cannot enter Yahweh’s temple.”
9 Da: ibidi da gagili sali moilai doagala: le fefedei dagolalu, e da amo ganodini esalusu. E da amo moilai dio “Da: ibidi ea Moilai Bai Bagade” asuli. E da sogebi amo da agolo gusudili dialebe (amoga ilia da osobo dogone fa: su) amogai muni sisiga: le moilai bai bagade diasu gagui.
[After] David [and his soldiers captured] the city with its strong walls around it, he lived there, and they named it ‘David’s City’. David [and his soldiers] built the city around the fortress, starting where the [land was (filled in/terraces) on the east side of the hill].
10 Ea gasa da heda: lalu. Bai Hina Gode Bagadedafa da e fidisu.
David continued to become more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping him.
11 Daia soge hina bagade amo Haila: me, da Da: ibidima bidi lasu dunu asunasi. E da Da: ibidima dolo ifa bagohame i. Amola e da Da: ibidi fidima: ne, diasu gagusu dunu amola gelega diasu gagusu dunu ema asunasi.
[One day] Hiram, the king of Tyre [city], sent ambassadors/messengers to David [to talk about making agreements between their countries]. Hiram agreed to provide cedar trees [to make lumber], and also that he would send carpenters and masons, to build a palace for David.
12 Amaiba: le, Da: ibidi da amane dawa: i. Hina Gode da ema hina bagade hou hahamoi dagoi. Amola Hina Gode da Ea fi ilima asigiba: le, Da: ibidi e hina bagade hou amoga hasalima: ne amola bagade gagusu dunu fi esaloma: ne hamoi.
His doing that caused David to realize that Yahweh truly had appointed him to be the king of Israel, and that Yahweh was going to cause his kingdom to prosper, because Yahweh loved the Israeli people, whom [he had chosen to] belong to him.
13 Da: ibidi da Hibalone moilai bai bagade amo yolesili, Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega fimusa: asi. Amogalu, e da gidisedagi uda enoenoia amola udadafa enoenoia lai. Amola e da dunu mano amola uda mano enoenoia lalelelegei.
After David moved from Hebron to Jerusalem, he took more slave women to be his second-class wives, and he also married other women. [All of those women] gave birth to more sons and daughters.
14 E da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega esaloba, mano dedei goelali lalelelegei, ilia dio da Sia: miua, Sioubabe, Na: ida: ne, Soloumane, Ibaha, Elisiua, Nifege, Yafaia, Ilisiama, Ilaiada amola Ilifelede.
The names of the sons who were born in Jerusalem were Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
17 Filisidini dunu da Da: ibidi Isala: ili hina bagade hamoi, amo sia: nabi. Amaiba: le, ilia dadi gagui wa: i da Da: ibidi suguli lamusa: muni ahoanu. Da: ibidi da amo hou nababeba: le, gagili sali sogebi amoga asi.
When the Philistia people heard that David had been appointed to be the king of Israel, their army went up [toward Jerusalem] to try to capture David. But David heard that they were coming, so he went down to another fortified place.
18 Filisidini dunu da Lifa: ime Fago amoga misini gesowai.
The [army of] Philistia arrived at Rephaim Valley [southwest of Jerusalem] and spread all over the valley.
19 Da: ibidi da Hina Godema amane adole ba: i. “Na da Filisidini dunu doagala: ma: bela: ? Di da nama hasalasu hou ima: bela: ? Hina Gode da ema bu adole i, “Defea! Doagala: ma! Na da dia ili hasalima: ne hamomu.”
David asked Yahweh, “Should [my men and] I attack the Philistia army? Will you enable us to defeat them [IDM]?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, attack them, because I will certainly enable your army to defeat them. [IDM]”
20 Amaiba: le, Da: ibidi da Ba: ile Bila: isimi sogega asili, Filisidini dunu hasali dagoi. E amane sia: i, “Hina Gode da hano heda: le fugagala: be amo defele, na ha lai ili hasali dagoi.” Amaiba: le, ilia da amo sogebi amoga dio “Ba: ile Bila: isimi” asuli. (Amo dawa: loma: ne da “Hasalasu dawa: hina”)
So David [and his army] went to [where the Philistia army was], and there they defeated them. Then David said, “Yahweh has burst through my enemies like a flood.” [SIM] So that place is called ‘Lord of Bursting-through’.
21 Filisidini dunu da hobea: iba: le, ilia da ilia loboga hamoi ogogosu ‘gode’ amo fisili, hobea: i. Da: ibidi amola ea dunu da amo gaguli asi.
The Philistia men left their idols there; so David and his soldiers took them away.
22 Amalalu, Filisidini dunu da Lifa: ime Fagoga bu heda: le, amoga bu gesowale fi dagoi.
Then the Philistia [army] returned to Rephaim Valley and spread all over the valley.
23 Da: ibidi da bu Hina Godema adole ba: i. Amola Hina Gode da ema bu amane adole i, “Guiguda: amoga ili mae doagala: ma! Be na: iyadodili asili, `bolosa: me’ ifa labo aliligi amo gadenene sogebi amoga doagala: musa: momagema.
So again David asked Yahweh [if his army should attack them]. But Yahweh replied, “Do not attack them [from here]. Tell your men to go around them and attack them from the other side, near the balsam trees.
24 Di da ifa balu amoga mogodigisu emo goba gala: be nabasea, doagala: ma. Bai Na da dilima bisili, Filisidini dadi gagui wa: i amo hasalimusa: mogodigili hidadea asi ba: mu.”
When you hear something in the tops of the balsam trees that sounds like [an army] marching, attack them, because I will have gone ahead of you [to enable your army] to defeat their army.”
25 Da: ibidi da Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i defele hamoi. E da Filisidini dunu amo Giba moilai bai bagadega muni sefasili, Gisa moilaiga sefasi dagoi.
So David did what Yahweh told him to do, and his [army] defeated the Philistia army from Geba [city] all the way [west] to Gezer [city].
