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.
Na rĩrĩ, mĩhĩrĩga yothe ya Isiraeli ĩgĩthiĩ kũrĩ Daudi kũu Hebironi ĩkĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũrĩ a mũthiimo waku na thakame yaku.
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.
Ihinda rĩrĩa Saũlũ aarĩ mũthamaki witũ-rĩ, wee nĩwe watongoragia mbũtũ cia Isiraeli igĩthiĩ ita. Nake Jehova agĩkwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Wee nĩũgatuĩka mũrĩithi wa andũ akwa a Isiraeli, na ũtuĩke mwathi wao.’”
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.
Rĩrĩa athuuri othe a Isiraeli maathiĩte Hebironi kũrĩ Mũthamaki Daudi, mũthamaki nĩagĩire na kĩrĩkanĩro nao mbere ya Jehova o kũu Hebironi, nao magĩitĩrĩria Daudi maguta mũtwe atuĩke mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
4 David was thirty years old when he became king, and he was king for forty years,
Daudi aarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, na agĩthamaka mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna.
5 Ruling over Judah in Hebron for seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem, over all Israel and Judah, for thirty-three years.
Aathamakĩire Juda mĩaka mũgwanja na mĩeri ĩtandatũ arĩ Hebironi, na agĩthamaka Isiraeli guothe mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩtatũ arĩ Jerusalemu.
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.
Mũthamaki na andũ ake magĩthiĩ Jerusalemu magatharĩkĩre Ajebusi, arĩa matũũraga kuo. Nao Ajebusi makĩĩra Daudi atĩrĩ, “Ndũgũtoonya gũkũ; tondũ andũ arĩa megũkũgirĩrĩria ũtoonye nĩ arĩa atumumu na cionje.” Tondũ meĩraga atĩrĩ, “Daudi ndangĩhota gũtoonya kuo.”
7 But David took the strong place of Zion, which is the town of David.
No rĩrĩ, Daudi nĩatunyanire kĩĩhitho kĩa hinya gĩa Zayuni, na nĩkĩo gĩĩtagwo itũũra inene rĩa Daudi.
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.
Mũthenya o ro ũcio Daudi akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ wothe ũngĩtooria Ajebusi no agerire mũtaro-inĩ wa maaĩ nĩguo akinyĩre andũ acio ‘mathuaga na atumumu’ o acio thũ cia Daudi.” Kĩu nĩkĩo gĩtũmaga moige atĩrĩ, “‘Andũ atumumu na arĩa mathuaga’ matigatoonya nyũmba ya ũthamaki.”
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.
Nake Daudi agĩtũũra kĩĩhitho-inĩ kĩu kĩa hinya, agĩgĩtua itũũra inene rĩa Daudi. Nake Daudi agĩakĩrĩra itũũra rĩu inene kuuma Milo arĩcooketie na thĩinĩ.
10 And David became greater and greater; for the Lord, the God of armies, was with him.
Daudi agĩkĩrĩrĩria kũgĩa na hinya tondũ Jehova Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe aarĩ hamwe nake.
11 And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent men to David, with cedar-trees and woodworkers and stoneworkers: and they made David a house.
Na rĩrĩ, Hiramu mũthamaki wa Turo agĩtũmĩra Daudi andũ, hamwe na mĩgogo ya mĩtarakwa, na atharamara, na aaki na mahiga, nao magĩakĩra Daudi nyũmba ya ũthamaki.
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.
Nake Daudi akĩmenya atĩ Jehova nĩamũhaandĩte atuĩke mũthamaki wa Isiraeli na agatũũgĩria ũthamaki wake nĩ ũndũ wa andũ ake a Isiraeli.
13 And David took more women and wives in Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron: and he had more sons and daughters.
Aarĩkia kuuma Hebironi, Daudi nĩagĩire na thuriya ingĩ na akĩhikia atumia kũu Jerusalemu, na agĩciarĩrwo aanake na airĩtu angĩ.
14 These are the names of those whose birth took place in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab and Nathan and Solomon
Maya nĩmo marĩĩtwa ma ciana iria aaciarĩire kũu Jerusalemu: Shamua, na Shobabu, na Nathani, na Solomoni,
15 And Ibhar and Elishua and Nepheg and Japhia
na Ibiharu, na Elishua, na Nefegu, na Jafia,
16 And Elishama and Eliada and Eliphelet.
na Elishama, na Eliada, na 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.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Afilisti maaiguire atĩ Daudi nĩaitĩrĩirio maguta agatuĩka mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, makĩambata magĩthiĩ na mbũtũ ciao ciothe makamũcarie, no Daudi aigua ũhoro ũcio agĩikũrũka agĩthiĩ kĩĩhitho-inĩ kĩa hinya.
18 And when the Philistines came, they went in every direction in the valley of Rephaim.
Na rĩrĩ, Afilisti nĩmokĩte na makeyaragania gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa 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.
nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi agĩtuĩria ũhoro kũrĩ Jehova, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ngatharĩkĩre Afilisti? Nĩũkũmaneana kũrĩ niĩ?” Nake Jehova akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ, nĩgũkorwo ti-itherũ nĩ ngũneana Afilisti kũrĩ we.”
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi agĩthiĩ Baali-Perazimu, na agĩtooreria Afilisti kuo. Akiuga atĩrĩ, “O ta ũrĩa maaĩ moinaga, noguo Jehova aharaganĩtie thũ ciakwa mbere yakwa.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio handũ hau hagĩĩtwo Baali-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.
Nao Afilisti magĩtiganĩria mĩhianano yao kũu, nake Daudi na andũ ake makĩmĩoya magĩthiĩ nayo.
22 And the Philistines came up again, and went in every direction in the valley of Rephaim.
Afilisti nĩmambatire o rĩngĩ makĩĩaragania Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa 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.
nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi agĩtuĩria ũhoro harĩ Jehova, nake Jehova akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Tiga kwambata ũthiĩ ũrũngĩrĩirie, no thiũrũrũka ũmoime na thuutha, ũmatharĩkĩre ũmarutĩtie na mbere ya mĩtĩ ya mĩkũngũgũ.
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.
Rĩrĩa ũrĩigua mũkubio uumĩte igũrũ rĩa mĩtĩ ya mĩkũngũgũ-rĩ, thiĩ narua, tondũ ũguo nĩkuonania atĩ Jehova nĩathiĩte mbere yaku nĩguo ahũũre mbũtũ cia Afilisti.”
25 And David did as the Lord had said; and he overcame the Philistines, attacking them from Gibeon to near Gezer.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi agĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte, akĩhũũra Afilisti amarutĩtie Gibeoni, o nginya Gezeri.
