2 Samuel 5
1 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David in Hebron and said, Truly, we are your bone and your flesh.
Mafuko onse a Israeli anabwera kwa Davide ku Hebroni ndipo anati, “Ife ndife mafupa ndi mnofu wanu.
2 In the past when Saul was king over us, it was you who went at the head of Israel when they went out or came in: and the Lord said to you, You are to be the keeper of my people Israel and their ruler.
Kale lija, pamene Sauli anali mfumu yathu, inu ndinu amene munkatsogolera Aisraeli pa nkhondo zawo. Ndipo Yehova anakuwuzani kuti, ‘Udzaweta anthu anga Aisraeli, ndipo udzakhala mfumu yawo.’”
3 So all the responsible men of Israel came to the king at Hebron; and King David made an agreement with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they put the holy oil on David and made him king over Israel.
Akuluakulu onse a Israeli atafika kwa Mfumu Davide ku Hebroni, mfumu inachita nawo pangano ku Hebroni pamaso pa Yehova, ndipo anamudzoza Davide kukhala mfumu ya Israeli.
4 David was thirty years old when he became king, and he was king for forty years,
Davide anali ndi zaka makumi atatu pamene anakhala mfumu, ndipo analamulira zaka makumi anayi.
5 Ruling over Judah in Hebron for seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem, over all Israel and Judah, for thirty-three years.
Analamulira Yuda ali ku Hebroni kwa zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri ndi miyezi isanu ndi umodzi, ndipo ali ku Yerusalemu analamulira Israeli yense ndi Yuda kwa zaka 33.
6 And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the people of the land: and they said to David, You will not come in here, but the blind and the feeble-footed will keep you out; for they said, David will not be able to come in here.
Mfumu ndi ankhondo ake anapita ku Yerusalemu kukathira nkhondo Ayebusi amene ankakhala kumeneko. Ayebusiwo anamuwuza Davide kuti, “Inu simulowa muno. Ngakhale osaona ndi olumala akhoza kukuthamangitsani.” Iwo ankaganiza kuti, “Davide sangathe kulowa momwemo.”
7 But David took the strong place of Zion, which is the town of David.
Komabe Davide analanda linga la Ziyoni, limene ndi mzinda wa Davide.
8 And that day David said, Whoever makes an attack on the Jebusites, let him go up by the water-pipe, and put to death all the blind and feeble-footed who are hated by David. And this is why they say, The blind and feeble-footed may not come into the house.
Pa tsiku limenelo Davide anati, “Aliyense wogonjetsa Ayebusi ayenera kudzera mʼngalande ya madzi kuti akafike kwa iwo amene ndi ‘olumala ndi osaona,’ amene ndi adani a Davide.” Nʼchifukwa chake amanena kuti, “Olumala ndi osaona sadzalowa mʼnyumba yaufumu.”
9 So David took the strong tower for his living-place, naming it the town of David. And David took in hand the building of the town all round, starting from the Millo.
Tsono Davide anakhazikika mu lingamo ndipo mzindawu anawutcha, Mzinda wa Davide. Iye anamanga malo onse ozungulira kuyambira ku matsitso ozungulira khoma.
10 And David became greater and greater; for the Lord, the God of armies, was with him.
Ndipo mphamvu za Davide zinkakulirakulira chifukwa anali ndi Yehova Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse.
11 And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent men to David, with cedar-trees and woodworkers and stoneworkers: and they made David a house.
Tsono Hiramu mfumu ya Turo inatumiza amithenga ake kwa Davide, pamodzi ndi mitengo ya mkungudza ndi amisiri a matabwa ndi amisiri a miyala, ndipo anamumangira Davide nyumba yaufumu.
12 And David saw that the Lord had made his position safe as king over Israel, and that he had made his kingdom great because of his people Israel.
Choncho Davide anazindikira kuti Yehova wamukhazikitsa kukhala mfumu ya Israeli ndipo wakuza ufumu wake chifukwa cha anthu ake, Aisraeli.
13 And David took more women and wives in Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron: and he had more sons and daughters.
Davide atafika ku Yerusalemu kuchokera ku Hebroni, anakwatira azikazi natenganso akazi ena kumeneko, ndipo anabereka ana aamuna ndi aakazi ambiri.
14 These are the names of those whose birth took place in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab and Nathan and Solomon
Mayina a ana amene anabereka ku Yerusalemu ndi awa: Samua, Sobabu, Natani, Solomoni,
15 And Ibhar and Elishua and Nepheg and Japhia
Ibihari, Elisua, Nefegi, Yafiya,
16 And Elishama and Eliada and Eliphelet.
Elisama, Eliada ndi Elifeleti.
17 And when the Philistines had news that David had been made king over Israel, they all went up in search of David; and David, hearing of it, went down to the strong place.
Afilisti atamva kuti Davide wadzozedwa kukhala mfumu ya Israeli, iwo anapita mwamphamvu kukamusakasaka. Koma Davide atamva zimenezi anakalowa mu linga.
18 And when the Philistines came, they went in every direction in the valley of Rephaim.
Ndipo Afilisti anabwera ndi kukhala momwazika mʼChigwa cha Refaimu.
19 And David, desiring directions from the Lord, said, Am I to go up against the Philistines? will you give them up into my hands? And the Lord said, Go up, for I will certainly give up the Philistines into your hands.
Davide anafunsa Yehova kuti, “Kodi ndipite kukathira nkhondo Afilisti? Kodi mukawapereka mʼmanja mwanga?” Yehova anamuyankha kuti, “Pita, Ine ndidzawapereka ndithu mʼmanja mwako.”
20 And David went to Baal-perazim, and overcame them there; and he said, The Lord has let the forces fighting against me be broken before me as a wall is broken by rushing waters. So that place was named Baal-perazim.
Choncho Davide anapita ku Baala-Perazimu ndi kugonjetsa Afilistiwo. Iye anati, “Monga amasefukira madzi, Yehova waphwanya adani anga ine ndikuona.” Choncho anawatcha malowa Baala Perazimu.
21 And the Philistines, when they went in flight, did not take their images with them, and David and his men took them away.
Afilisti anasiya mafano awo kumeneko ndipo Davide ndi ankhondo ake anawatenga.
22 And the Philistines came up again, and went in every direction in the valley of Rephaim.
Nthawi inanso Afilisti anabweranso namwazikana mʼChigwa cha Refaimu;
23 And when David went for directions to the Lord, he said, You are not to go up against them in front; but make a circle round them from the back and come on them opposite the spice-trees.
Davide anafunsa Yehova ndipo Yehovayo anayankha kuti, “Usapite molunjika koma uzungulire kumbuyo kwawo ndipo ukawathire nkhondo patsogolo pa mitengo ya mkandankhuku.
24 Then at the sound of footsteps in the tops of the trees, go forward quickly, for the Lord has gone out before you to overcome the army of the Philistines.
Mukakangomva phokoso pa msonga za mitengo ya mkandankhuku, mukayende mofulumira, chifukwa izi zikasonyeza kuti Yehova ali patsogolo panu kukantha ankhondo a Afilisti.”
25 And David did as the Lord had said; and he overcame the Philistines, attacking them from Gibeon to near Gezer.
Kotero Davide anachita zimene Yehova anamulamulira ndipo anakantha Afilisti njira yonse kuchokera ku Geba mpaka ku Gezeri.
