1 Chronicles 14
1 Then sent Hiram the King of Tyrus messengers to Dauid, and cedar trees, with masons and carpenters to builde him an house.
Basi Hiramu mfalme wa Tiro akawatuma wajumbe kwa Daudi, wakiwa na magogo ya mierezi, waashi na maseremala ili kumjengea jumba la kifalme.
2 Therefore Dauid knewe that the Lord had confirmed him King ouer Israel, and that his kingdome was lift vp on hie, because of his people Israel.
Naye Daudi akatambua kwamba Bwana amemwimarisha kuwa mfalme juu ya Israeli na kwamba ufalme wake umetukuzwa kwa ajili ya Israeli, watu wake.
3 Also Dauid tooke moe wiues at Ierusalem, and Dauid begate moe sonnes and daughters.
Huko Yerusalemu Daudi akaoa wake wengine zaidi na akawa baba wa wana na mabinti wengi.
4 And these are the names of the children which he had at Ierusalem, Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Salomon,
Haya ndiyo majina ya watoto waliozaliwa kwake huko: Shamua, Shobabu, Nathani, Solomoni,
5 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
Ibihari, Elishua, Elpeleti,
6 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Iaphia,
Noga, Nefegi, Yafia,
7 And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
Elishama, Beeliada na Elifeleti.
8 But when the Philistims heard that Dauid was anointed King ouer Israel, all the Philistims came vp to seeke Dauid. And when Dauid heard, he went out against them.
Wafilisti waliposikia kuwa Daudi ametiwa mafuta kuwa mfalme wa Israeli yote, wakapanda na jeshi lao lote kwenda kumsaka, lakini Daudi akapata habari hizo, naye akatoka ili kwenda kukabiliana nao.
9 And the Philistims came, and spred them selues in the valley of Rephaim.
Basi Wafilisti walikuwa wameingia na kushambulia Bonde la Warefai,
10 Then Dauid asked counsel at God, saying, Shall I goe vp against the Philistims, and wilt thou deliuer them into mine hande? And the Lord saide vnto him, Goe vp: for I will deliuer them into thine hande.
Hivyo Daudi akamuuliza Mungu: “Je, niende kuwashambulia hao Wafilisti? Je, utawatia mikononi mwangu?” Bwana akamjibu, “Nenda, nitawatia mikononi mwako.”
11 So they came vp to Baal-perazim, and Dauid smote them there: and Dauid said, God hath deuided mine enemies with mine hande, as waters are deuided: therefore they called the name of that place, Baal-perazim.
Hivyo Daudi pamoja na watu wake wakakwea mpaka Baal-Perasimu, akawashinda huko. Akasema, “Kama maji yafurikavyo, Mungu amewafurikia adui zangu kwa kutumia mkono wangu.” Kwa hiyo mahali pale pakaitwa Baal-Perasimu.
12 And there they had left their gods: and Dauid said, Let them euen be burnt with fire.
Wafilisti walikuwa wameacha miungu yao huko, Daudi akaamuru iteketezwe kwa moto.
13 Againe the Philistims came and spread them selues in the valley.
Kwa mara nyingine Wafilisti wakavamia lile bonde;
14 And when Dauid asked againe counsell at God, God said to him, Thou shalt not goe vp after them, but turne away from them, that thou mayest come vpon them ouer against the mulberie trees.
hivyo Daudi akamuuliza Mungu tena, naye Mungu akamjibu, “Usiwapandie moja kwa moja, bali wazungukie na uwashambulie kutoka mbele ya hiyo miti ya miforosadi.
15 And when thou hearest the noyse of one going in the toppes of the mulberie trees, then goe out to battel: for God is gone foorth before thee, to smite the hoste of the Philistims.
Mara usikiapo sauti ya kwenda juu ya hiyo miti ya miforosadi, hapo ndipo utoke upigane vita, kwa sababu hiyo itaonyesha kwamba Mungu amekutangulia ili kupiga jeshi la Wafilisti.”
16 So Dauid did as God had commanded him: and they smote the hoste of the Philistims from Gibeon euen to Gezer.
Kwa hiyo Daudi akafanya kama alivyoagizwa na Mungu, wakalipiga jeshi la Wafilisti kuanzia Gibeoni hadi Gezeri.
17 And the fame of Dauid went out into all landes, and the Lord brought the feare of him vpon all nations.
Hivyo umaarufu wa Daudi ukaenea katika kila nchi, naye Bwana akayafanya mataifa yote kumwogopa Daudi.
