2 Samuel 5
1 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and spoke, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
以色列众支派来到希伯 见大卫，说：“我们原是你的骨肉。
2 In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led Israel out and in. The LORD said to you, ‘You will be shepherd of my people Israel, and you will be prince over Israel.’”
从前扫罗作我们王的时候，率领以色列人出入的是你；耶和华也曾应许你说：‘你必牧养我的民以色列，作以色列的君。’”
3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel.
于是以色列的长老都来到希伯 见大卫王，大卫在希伯 耶和华面前与他们立约，他们就膏大卫作以色列的王。
4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
大卫登基的时候年三十岁，在位四十年；
5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.
在希伯 作犹大王七年零六个月，在耶路撒冷作以色列和犹大王三十三年。
6 The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, “The blind and the lame will keep you out of here,” thinking, “David cannot come in here.”
大卫和跟随他的人到了耶路撒冷，要攻打住那地方的耶布斯人。耶布斯人对大卫说：“你若不赶出瞎子、瘸子，必不能进这地方”；心里想大卫决不能进去。
7 Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. This is David’s city.
然而大卫攻取锡安的保障，就是大卫的城。
8 David said on that day, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him go up to the watercourse and strike those lame and blind, who are hated by David’s soul.” Therefore they say, “The blind and the lame cannot come into the house.”
当日，大卫说：“谁攻打耶布斯人，当上水沟攻打我心里所恨恶的瘸子、瞎子。”从此有俗语说：“在那里有瞎子、瘸子，他不能进屋去。”
9 David lived in the stronghold, and called it David’s city. David built around from Millo and inward.
大卫住在保障里，给保障起名叫大卫城。大卫又从米罗以里，周围筑墙。
10 David grew greater and greater, for the LORD, the God of Armies, was with him.
大卫日见强盛，因为耶和华—万军之 神与他同在。
11 Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, with cedar trees, carpenters, and masons; and they built David a house.
泰尔王希兰将香柏木运到大卫那里，又差遣使者和木匠、石匠给大卫建造宫殿。
12 David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake.
大卫就知道耶和华坚立他作以色列王，又为自己的民以色列使他的国兴旺。
13 David took more concubines and wives for himself out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and more sons and daughters were born to David.
大卫离开希伯 之后，在耶路撒冷又立后妃，又生儿女。
14 These are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
在耶路撒冷所生的儿子是沙母亚、朔罢、拿单、所罗门、
15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
益辖、以利书亚、尼斐、雅非亚、
16 Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
以利沙玛、以利雅大、以利法列。
17 When the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David, but David heard about it and went down to the stronghold.
非利士人听见人膏大卫作以色列王，非利士众人就上来寻索大卫；大卫听见，就下到保障。
18 Now the Philistines had come and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
非利士人来了，布散在利乏音谷。
19 David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” The LORD said to David, “Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
大卫求问耶和华说：“我可以上去攻打非利士人吗？你将他们交在我手里吗？”耶和华说：“你可以上去，我必将非利士人交在你手里。”
20 David came to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there. Then he said, “The LORD has broken my enemies before me, like the breach of waters.” Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
大卫来到巴力·毗拉心，在那里击杀非利士人，说：“耶和华在我面前冲破敌人，如同水冲去一般。”因此称那地方为巴力·毗拉心。
21 They left their images there, and David and his men took them away.
非利士人将偶像撇在那里，大卫和跟随他的人拿去了。
22 The Philistines came up yet again and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
非利士人又上来，布散在利乏音谷。
23 When David inquired of the LORD, he said, “You shall not go up. Circle around behind them, and attack them in front of the mulberry trees.
大卫求问耶和华；耶和华说：“不要一直地上去，要转到他们后头，从桑林对面攻打他们。
24 When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then stir yourself up; for then the LORD has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”
你听见桑树梢上有脚步的声音，就要急速前去，因为那时耶和华已经在你前头去攻打非利士人的军队。”
25 David did so, as the LORD commanded him, and struck the Philistines all the way from Geba to Gezer.
大卫就遵着耶和华所吩咐的去行，攻打非利士人，从迦巴直到基色。
