2 Samuel 5
1 Unya miadto ang tanang mga tribo sa Israel ngadto kang David sa Hebron ug miingon, “Tan-awa, unod ug bukog mo kami.
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 Kaniadto, sa dihang si Saul pa ang naghari kanato, ikaw usab ang nagdumala sa kasundalohan sa Israel. Miingon si Yahweh kanimo, 'Bantayan mo ang akong katawhan nga mga Israelita, ug mahimo kang pangulo sa Israel.”'
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 Busa miadto ang tanang katigulangan sa Israel ngadto sa hari didto sa Hebron, ug naghimo si David ug kasabotan tali kanila sa atubangan ni Yahweh. Gidihogan nila si David ingon nga hari sa tibuok Israel.
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 Nagpangidaron si David ug 30 sa dihang nagsugod siya sa paghari, ug naghari siya sulod sa 40 ka tuig.
David was 30 years old when he became their king. He ruled them for 40 years.
5 Naghari siya sa Juda didto sa Hebron sulod sa pito ka tuig ug unom ka bulan, ug naghari siya sa Jerusalem sulod sa 33 ka tuig sa tibuok Israel ug Juda.
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 Miadto ang hari ug ang iyang kasundalohan sa Jerusalem aron makigbatok sa mga Jebusihanon, nga mga lumulupyo sa maong yuta. Miingon sila kang David, “Dili kamo makaanhi dinhi gawas kung buot ninyo nga pildihon kamo sa mga buta ug bakol. Dili makasulod si David dinhi.”
[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 Bisan pa niana, nailog ni David ang kota sa Sion, nga nahimo karong siyudad ni David.
But David’s army captured the fortress on Zion [Hill], [and later it was known as] David’s City.
8 Nianang panahona miingon si David, “Kadtong nagsulong sa mga Jebusihanon kinahanglan moagi sa agianan sa tubig aron maapsan ang 'bakol ug ang buta' nga mga kaaway ni David.” Maong miingon ang katawhan, “Ang 'buta ug ang bakol' kinahanglan nga dili mosulod sa palasyo.”
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 Busa mipuyo si David sa maong kota ug gitawag kini nga siyudad ni David. Gilig-on niya ang tibuok palibot niini, gikan sa balkonahe hangtod sa sulod.
[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 Nahimong gamhanan si David tungod kang Yahweh, ang Dios sa kasundalohang anghel, nga nag-uban kaniya.
David continued to become more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping him.
11 Unya nagpadala ug mga mensahero si Hiram nga hari sa Tiro ngadto kang David, ug mga kahoy nga sidro, mga panday, ug mga mason. Nagtukod sila ug balay alang kang David.
[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 Nasayod si David nga gilig-on na siya ni Yahweh ingon nga hari sa Israel, ug nga iyang gibayaw ang iyang gingharian alang sa kaayohan sa iyang katawhan sa Israel.
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 Pagkahuman ug biya ni David sa Hebron ug miadto sa Jerusalem, nagkuha siya ug dugang pang mga kaipon ug mga asawa sa Jerusalem, ug dugang pang mga anak nga lalaki ug babaye ang gipakatawo kaniya.
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 Mao kini ang mga ngalan sa mga anak nga gipakatawo kaniya didto sa Jerusalem: Sammua, Sobab, Natan, Solomon,
The names of the sons who were born in Jerusalem were Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
15 Ibar, Elisua, Nefeg, Jafia,
Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
16 Elisama, Eliada, ug si Elifelet.
Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
17 Karon sa dihang nadunggan sa mga Filistihanon nga gidihogan na si David ingon nga hari sa Israel, migawas silang tanan aron sa pagpangita kaniya. Apan nadunggan kini ni David ug miadto siya sa salipdanan.
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 Karon miabot ang mga Filistihanon ug nagkatag sa walog sa Refaim.
The [army of] Philistia arrived at Rephaim Valley [southwest of Jerusalem] and spread all over the valley.
19 Unya nangayo ug panabang si David kang Yahweh. Miingon siya, “Sulongon ko ba ang mga Filistihanon? Ihatag mo ba ang kadaogan batok kanila?” Miingon si Yahweh kang David, “Sulonga, kay ihatag ko gayod kanimo ang kadaogan batok sa mga Filistihanon.”
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 Busa misulong si David sa Baal Perazim, ug didto gibuntog niya sila. Miingon siya, “Mibugwak si Yahweh ngadto sa akong mga kaaway sa akong atubangan ingon nga mibugwak nga tubig sa baha.” Busa nahimong Baal Perazim ang ngalan niana nga dapit.
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 Gibilin sa mga Filistihanon ang ilang mga diosdios didto, ug gipangdala kini ni David ug sa iyang mga kasundalohan.
The Philistia men left their idols there; so David and his soldiers took them away.
22 Unya misubida ug nagkatag na usab ang mga Filistihanon sa walog sa Refaim.
Then the Philistia [army] returned to Rephaim Valley and spread all over the valley.
23 Busa nangayo na usab ug tabang si David kang Yahweh, ug miingon si Yahweh kaniya, “Kinahanglan nga dili kamo mosulong sa ilang atubangan, apan liputa ninyo sila ug sulonga sila agi sa kakahoyan sa balsamo.
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 Sa dihang madungog ninyo ang tingog sa pagmartsa pinaagi sa huros sa hangin agi sa tumoy sa kakahoyan sa balsamo, sulong dayon kamo. Buhata kini tungod kay mag-uban si Yahweh kaninyo aron sa pagsulong sa kasundalohan sa mga Filistihanon.”
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 Busa gibuhat kini ni David sumala sa sugo ni Yahweh kaniya. Gipamatay niya ang mga Filistihanon gikan sa Geba padulong sa Gezer.
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].
