1 Chronicles 14
1 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs, stonemasons, and carpenters, to build a palace for him.
Hiramu mfumu ya ku Turo inatumiza amithenga kwa Davide pamodzi ndi mitengo ya mkungudza ndiponso amisiri a miyala ndi amisiri a matabwa kuti adzamumangire nyumba yaufumu.
2 And David realized that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had highly exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.
Choncho Davide anazindikira kuti Yehova wamukhazikitsa kukhala mfumu ya Israeli ndipo wakuza kwambiri ufumu wake chifukwa cha anthu ake, Aisraeli.
3 And David took more wives in Jerusalem and became the father of more sons and daughters.
Davide anakwatira akazi ena ambiri ku Yerusalemu ndipo anabereka ana aamuna ndi aakazi ambiri.
4 These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
Mayina a ana amene anaberekera ku Yerusalemu anali awa: Samua, Sobabu, Natani, Solomoni,
5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
Ibihari, Elisua, Elipeleti,
6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
Noga, Nefegi, Yafiya,
7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
Elisama, Beeliada ndi Elifeleti.
8 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, they all went in search of him; but David learned of this and went out to face them.
Afilisti atamva kuti Davide wadzozedwa kukhala mfumu ya dziko lonse la Israeli, iwo anapita mwamphamvu kukamusakasaka. Koma Davide atamva zimenezi anapita kukakumana nawo.
9 Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley of Rephaim.
Ndipo Afilisti anabwera ndi kulanda zinthu mʼChigwa cha Refaimu.
10 So David inquired of God, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” “Go,” replied the LORD, “for I will deliver them into your hand.”
Davide anafunsa Mulungu kuti, “Kodi ndipite kukathira nkhondo Afilisti? Kodi mukawapereka mʼmanja mwanga?” Yehova anamuyankha kuti, “Pita, Ine ndidzawapereka mʼmanja mwako.”
11 So David and his men went up to Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a bursting flood, God has burst out against my enemies by my hand.” So they called that place Baal-perazim.
Choncho Davide ndi anthu ake anapita ku Baala-Perazimu ndi kugonjetsa Afilistiwo. Iye anati, “Monga amasefukira madzi, Mulungu waphwanya adani anga ine ndikuona.” Motero anawatcha malowa Baala Perazimu.
12 There the Philistines abandoned their gods, and David ordered that they be burned in the fire.
Afilisti anasiya milungu yawo kumeneko ndipo Davide analamulira kuti itenthedwe ndi moto.
13 Once again the Philistines raided the valley.
Nthawi inanso Afilisti anadzalanda katundu mu Chigwamo.
14 So David again inquired of God, who answered him, “Do not march up after them, but circle around them and attack them in front of the balsam trees.
Choncho Davide anafunsa Mulungu ndipo Mulunguyo anayankha kuti, “Usapite molunjika, koma uzungulire kumbuyo kwawo. Ukawathire nkhondo patsogolo pa mitengo ya mkandankhuku.
15 As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move out to battle, because this will mean that God has marched out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”
Mukakangomva phokoso pa msonga za mitengo ya mkandankhuku, mukapite kukamenyana nawo, chifukwa izi zikasonyeza kuti Mulungu ali patsogolo panu kukantha ankhondo a Afilisti.”
16 So David did as God had commanded him, and they struck down the army of the Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.
Kotero Davide anachita zimene Mulungu anamulamulira ndipo anakantha ankhondo a Afilisti njira yonse kuchokera ku Gibiyoni mpaka ku Gezeri.
17 And David’s fame went out into every land, and the LORD caused all nations to fear him.
Choncho mbiri ya Davide inafalikira dziko lonse, ndipo Yehova anachititsa kuti mayiko ena azimuopa.
