2 Samuel 5

1 Dhout Israel duto nobiro Hebron ir Daudi ma giwacho niya, “Wan ringreni kendo wan remo achiel.

And all the tribes of Israel went to David in Hebron, saying: “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

2 E ndalo mokadho, kane pod Saulo ruodhwa in ema ne itelo ni jo-Israel e lwenjegi. Kendo Jehova Nyasaye nowachoni niya, ‘In ema nibed jakwadh joga Israel, kendo inibed jatendgi.’”

Moreover, yesterday and the day before, when Saul was king over us, you were the one leading out and leading back Israel. Then the Lord said to you, ‘You shall pasture my people Israel, and you shall be the leader over Israel.’”

3 Kane jodong Israel duto osebiro Hebron ir Ruoth Daudi notimo kodgi winjruok e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kendo ne giwiro Daudi mondo obed ruodh Israel.

Also, the elders of Israel went to the king at Hebron, and king David struck a pact with them at Hebron in the sight of the Lord. And they anointed David as king over Israel.

4 Daudi ne ja-higni piero adek kane obedo ruoth, kendo nobedo e loch kuom higni piero angʼwen.

David was a son of thirty years, when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for forty years.

5 Ne en e loch kuom higni abiriyo gi dweche auchiel ka en ruodh Juda kodak Hebron kendo ne en ruodh Israel gi Juda kodak Jerusalem kuom higni piero adek gadek.

In Hebron, he reigned over Judah for seven years and six months. Then in Jerusalem, he reigned for thirty-three years over all of Israel and Judah.

6 Ruoth gi joge nodhi Jerusalem momonjo jo-Jebus mane odak kanyo. Jo-Jebus nowacho ni Daudi niya, “Ok inidonj ka; kata mana muofuni gi rangʼonde notami donjo.” Negiparo niya, “Daudi ok nyal donjo kanyo.”

And the king, and all the men who were with him, went away to Jerusalem, to the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land. And it was said to David by them, “You shall not enter here, unless you will take away the blind and the lame, who say, ‘David shall not enter here.’”

7 To kata kamano Daudi noloyogi mokawo ohinga mar Sayun, ma en Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi.

But David seized the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David.

8 Chiengʼno Daudi nowacho niya, “Ngʼato angʼata madwaro loyo jo-Jebus nyaka kadh e otuchi ma pi kadhogo eka dochop kuom rangʼonde gi muofni, ma gin jowasik Daudi.” Mano ema omiyo nowach ni muofni gi rongʼonde ok nodonj e dala ruoth.

For David had proposed, on that day, a reward to him who had struck the Jebusites and who had reached to the gutters of the rooftops, and who had taken away the blind and the lame that hated the soul of David. Therefore, it is said in the proverb, “The blind and the lame shall not enter into the temple.”

9 Eka Daudi nodak e dala mochiel gi ohinga moluonge ni Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi. Nogere kolwore gi ohinga motegno gi yo ka iye.

Then David lived in the stronghold, and he called it: the City of David. And he built it up on all sides, from Millo and inward.

10 Kendo nomedo bedo gi teko ahinya, nikech Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ne ni kode.

And he advanced, prospering and increasing, and the Lord, the God of hosts, was with him.

11 Koro Hiram ruodh Turo nooro joote ir Daudi ka gitingʼo sirni mag yiend sida gi jopa bao kod jogedo mag kite, kendo negigero dala ruoth ni Daudi.

Also, Hiram, the king of Tyre, sent messengers to David, with cedar wood, and with builders of wood and builders of stone, in order to make walls. And they built a house for David.

12 Kendo Daudi nongʼeyo ni Jehova Nyasaye osegure kaka ruodh Israel kendo osetingʼo pinyruodhe malo mana nikech joge Israel.

And David knew that the Lord had confirmed him as king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom over his people Israel.

13 Bangʼ kane osedar Hebron, Daudi nokendo monde kaachiel kod mon mamoko Jerusalem kendo nonywolone yawuowi gi nyiri mangʼeny.

Then David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, after he had arrived from Hebron. And other sons as well as daughters were born to David.

14 Magi e nying nyithindo mane onywolo ka en Jerusalem: Shamua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

And these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nefeg, Jafia,

and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg,

16 Elishama, Eliada kod Elifelet.

and Japhia, and Elishama, and Eliada, and Elipheleth.

17 Kane jo-Filistia owinjo ni Daudi osewir bedo ruodh jo-Israel, negiwuok kar rombgi, mondo gidware, to Daudi nowinjo wachno omiyo nowuok modhi kama ochiel motegno.

Then the Philistines heard that they had anointed David as king over Israel. And they all ascended, so that they might seek David. And when David had heard of it, he descended to a stronghold.

18 Koro jo-Filistia nosebiro ma gimonjo holo mar Refaim;

Now the Philistines, arriving, spread themselves out in the Valley of Rephaim.

19 omiyo Daudi nopenjo Jehova Nyasaye niya, “bende anyalo dhi mondo amonj jo-Filistia? Bende iniketgi e lweta?” Jehova Nyasaye nodwoke niya, “Dhiyo, nikech abiro chiwo jo-Filistia e lweti.”

And David consulted the Lord, saying: “Shall I ascend to the Philistines? And will you give them into my hand?” And the Lord said to David: “Ascend. For I will certainly give the Philistines into your hand.”

20 Omiyo Daudi nodhi Baal Perazim kendo noloyogi kanyo. Nowacho niya, “Kaka pi muomo, e kaka Jehova Nyasaye osemwomore ni wasika e nyima.” Mano emomiyo kanyo nochak ni Baal-Perizim.

Therefore, David went to Baal-perazim. And he struck them there. And he said, “The Lord has divided my enemies before me, just as the waters are divided.” Because of this, the name of that place was called Baal-perazim.

21 Jo-Filistia noweyo nyisechegi kanyo kendo Daudi gi joge notingʼo gi modhigo.

And in that place they left behind their graven images, which David and his men took away.

22 Jo-Filistia nochako oyworo ni lweny e holo mar Refaim;

And the Philistines continued still, so that they ascended and spread themselves out in the Valley of Rephaim.

23 omiyo Daudi nopenjo Jehova Nyasaye wach kendo Jehova Nyasaye nodwoke niya, “Kik ichomgi tir lwor gi yo ka ngʼegi kendo imonjgi kama omanyore gi omburi.

Then David consulted the Lord, “Shall I ascend against the Philistines, and will you deliver them into my hands?” And he responded: “You shall not ascend against them; instead, circle behind their back. And you shall come to them from the side opposite the balsam trees.

24 Kiwinjo ka wi omburi yiengni, iwuog mapiyo nikech mano biro nyiso ni Jehova Nyasaye osetelo e nyimi mondo otiek jolweny mag jo-Filistia.”

And when you hear the sound of something going forth from the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall begin the battle. For then the Lord will go forth, before your face, so that he may strike the army of the Philistines.”

25 Omiyo Daudi notimo kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochike, mi nonego jo-Filistia kochakore Gibeon nyaka Gezer.

And so, David did just as the Lord had instructed him. And he struck down the Philistines, from Gibeon until you arrive at Gezer.
