2 Samuel 5
1 Then came all the tribes of Israel to Dauid vnto Hebron, and said thus, Beholde, we are thy bones and thy flesh.
Ebika byonna ebya Isirayiri ne bigenda eri Dawudi e Kebbulooni, ne boogera nti, “Laba, tuli mubiri gwo era musaayi gwo.
2 And in time past when Saul was our King, thou leddest Israel in and out: and the Lord hath sayde to thee, Thou shalt feede my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captaine ouer Israel.
Mu biro eby’edda, Sawulo nga ye kabaka waffe, gwe wakulemberanga Isirayiri mu ntalo. Era Mukama yakwogerako nti, ‘Olirunda abantu bange Isirayiri, era oliba mukulembeze waabwe.’”
3 So all the Elders of Israel came to the King to Hebron: and King Dauid made a couenant with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they anoynted Dauid King ouer Israel.
Awo abakadde bonna aba Isirayiri bwe bajja eri kabaka e Kebbulooni, n’akola nabo endagaano e Kebbulooni mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda, era ne bafuka amafuta ku Dawudi okuba kabaka wa Isirayiri.
4 Dauid was thirtie yeere olde when he began to reigne: and hee reigned fortie yeere.
Dawudi we yatanulira okuba kabaka yalina emyaka amakumi asatu; n’afugira emyaka amakumi ana.
5 In Hebron hee reigned ouer Iudah seuen yeere, and sixe moneths: and in Ierusalem hee reigned thirtie and three yeeres ouer all Israel and Iudah.
Mu Kebbulooni n’afugirayo Yuda emyaka musanvu n’ekitundu, ate mu Yerusaalemi n’afugiramu Isirayiri yenna ne Yuda emyaka asatu mu esatu.
6 The King also and his men went to Ierusalem vnto the Iebusites, the inhabitants of the land: who spake vnto Dauid, saying, Except thou take away the blinde and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking that Dauid coulde not come thither.
Kabaka n’abasajja be ne boolekera Yerusaalemi okulwana n’Abayebusi abaabeeranga eyo. Abayebusi ne bagamba Dawudi nti, “Toliyingira muno, kubanga abazibe b’amaaso n’abalema balikulwanyisa ne bakulemesa;” nga balowooza nti Dawudi tayinza kukiyingira.
7 But Dauid tooke the fort of Zion: this is the citie of Dauid.
Naye Dawudi n’awamba ekigo kya Sayuuni, ky’ekibuga kya Dawudi.
8 Nowe Dauid had sayd the same day, Whosoeuer smiteth the Iebusites, and getteth vp to the gutters and smiteth the lame and blinde, which Dauids soule hateth, I will preferre him: therefore they saide, The blinde and the lame shall not come into that house.
Ku lunaku olwo Dawudi n’alagira nti, “Abanaagenda okutta Abayebusi, bayitire ku lusalosalo batte abazibe b’amaaso n’abalema, emmeeme ya Dawudi b’ekyawa.” Kyekyava kigambibwa nti, “Abazibe b’amaaso n’abalema tebaliyingira mu lubiri.”
9 So Dauid dwelt in that forte, and called it the citie of Dauid, and Dauid built rounde about it, from Millo, and inward.
Dawudi n’abeera mu kigo, n’akituuma Ekibuga kya Dawudi. N’azimba ekibuga okukyetooloola, n’akiteekako ne bbugwe.
10 And Dauid prospered and grewe: for the Lord God of hostes was with him.
Dawudi ne yeeyongeranga okuba ow’amaanyi kubanga Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye yali wamu naye.
11 Hiram also king of Tyrus sent messengers to Dauid, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons for walles: and they built Dauid an house.
Awo kabaka Kiramu ow’e Ttuulo n’atuma ababaka ne batwala emivule, ne bagenda, n’abazimbi b’amayinja, n’ababazzi eri Dawudi okumuzimbira olubiri.
12 Then Dauid knewe that the Lord had stablished him King ouer Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdome for his people Israels sake.
Dawudi n’ategeera nga Mukama yali amunywezezza okuba kabaka wa Isirayiri, era ng’agulumizizza obwakabaka bwe olw’abantu ba Mukama Isirayiri.
13 And Dauid tooke him more concubines and wiues out of Ierusalem, after hee was come from Hebron, and more sonnes and daughters were borne to Dauid.
Dawudi bwe yava e Kebbulooni n’awasa abakyala abalala mu Yerusaalemi, abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala ne bamuzaalirwa.
14 And these bee the names of the sonnes that were borne vnto him in Ierusale: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Salomon,
Amannya g’abo abaamuzaalirwa mu Yerusaalemi gaali Sammuwa, ne Sobabu, ne Nasani, ne Sulemaani,
15 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Iaphia,
ne Ibukali, ne Eriswa, ne Nefegi, ne Yafiya,
16 And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.
ne Erisaama, ne Eriyada ne Erifereti.
17 But when the Philistims hearde that they had anoynted Dauid King ouer Israel, all the Philistims came vp to seeke Dauid: and when Dauid heard, he went downe to a fort.
Awo Abafirisuuti bwe baawulira nga Dawudi afukiddwako amafuta okuba kabaka wa Isirayiri, bonna ne bambuka okumunoonya, naye Dawudi n’akiwulira n’aserengeta mu kigo kye.
18 But the Philistims came, and spred themselues in the valley of Rephaim.
Abafirisuuti baali bazze nga basaasaanye mu kiwonvu Lefayimu.
19 Then Dauid asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I goe vp to the Philistims? wilt thou deliuer them into mine handes? And the Lord answered Dauid, Goe vp: for I will doubtlesse deliuer the Philistims into thine handes.
Dawudi ne yeebuuza ku Mukama nti, “Ŋŋende nnumbe Abafirisuuti? Onoobagabula mu mukono gwange?” Mukama n’amuddamu nti, “Genda, kubanga nnaabagabula mu mukono gwo.”
20 Then Dauid came to Baal-perazim, and smote them there, and sayde, The Lord hath deuided mine enemies asunder before mee, as waters be deuided asunder: therefore he called the name of that place, Baal-perazim.
Awo Dawudi n’agenda e Baaluperazimu, era n’abawangula. N’ayogera nti, “Mukama abonerezza abalabe bange mu maaso gange, ng’embuyaga ez’amazzi bwe zita ne zikulukuta n’amaanyi.” Era ekifo ekyo kyekyava kituumibwa Baaluperazimu.
21 And there they left their images, and Dauid and his men burnt them.
Abafirisuuti ne baleka eyo balubaale baabwe be beekolera, Dawudi n’abasajja be ne babatwala.
22 Againe the Philistims came vp, and spred themselues in the valley of Rephaim.
Abafirisuuti ne badda, ne basaasaana mu kiwonvu kya Lefayimu.
23 And when Dauid asked counsell of the Lord, hee answered, Thou shalt not goe vp, but turne about behinde them, and come vpon them ouer against the mulberie trees.
Awo Dawudi bwe yeebuuza ku Mukama, n’amuddamu nti, “Tobatabaalirawo, naye beetooloole, obalumbe ng’obafuluma mu maaso g’emitugunda.
24 And when thou hearest the noyse of one going in the toppes of the mulberie trees, then remoue: for then shall the Lord goe out before thee, to smite the hoste of the Philistims.
Awo olunaatuuka bw’onoowulira abakumba ku masanso g’emitugunda, oyanguwe okulumba, kubanga ekyo kinaategeeza nti Mukama akukulembedde okuzikiriza eggye ly’Abafirisuuti.”
25 Then Dauid did so as the Lord had commanded him, and smote the Philistims from Geba, vntil thou come to Gazer.
Awo Dawudi n’akola nga Mukama bwe yamulagira, n’azikiriza Abafirisuuti okuva e Geba okutuuka e Gezeri.
