2 Samuel 5

1 Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

Ebika byonna ebya Isirayiri ne bigenda eri Dawudi e Kebbulooni, ne boogera nti, “Laba, tuli mubiri gwo era musaayi gwo.

2 Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and YHWH said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over 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 David made a league with them in Hebron before YHWH: and they anointed David king over 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 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.

Dawudi we yatanulira okuba kabaka yalina emyaka amakumi asatu; n’afugira emyaka amakumi ana.

5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah.

Mu Kebbulooni n’afugirayo Yuda emyaka musanvu n’ekitundu, ate mu Yerusaalemi n’afugiramu Isirayiri yenna ne Yuda emyaka asatu mu esatu.

6 And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: which spake unto David, saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking, David cannot come in hither.

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 Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David.

Naye Dawudi n’awamba ekigo kya Sayuuni, ky’ekibuga kya Dawudi.

8 And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, that are hated of David's soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the 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 David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.

Dawudi n’abeera mu kigo, n’akituuma Ekibuga kya Dawudi. N’azimba ekibuga okukyetooloola, n’akiteekako ne bbugwe.

10 And David went on, and grew great, and YHWH Elohim of hosts was with him.

Dawudi ne yeeyongeranga okuba ow’amaanyi kubanga Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye yali wamu naye.

11 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David 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 And David perceived that YHWH had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sake.

Dawudi n’ategeera nga Mukama yali amunywezezza okuba kabaka wa Isirayiri, era ng’agulumizizza obwakabaka bwe olw’abantu ba Mukama Isirayiri.

13 And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.

Dawudi bwe yava e Kebbulooni n’awasa abakyala abalala mu Yerusaalemi, abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala ne bamuzaalirwa.

14 And these be the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

Amannya g’abo abaamuzaalirwa mu Yerusaalemi gaali Sammuwa, ne Sobabu, ne Nasani, ne Sulemaani,

15 Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

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 Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold.

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 The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

Abafirisuuti baali bazze nga basaasaanye mu kiwonvu Lefayimu.

19 And David inquired of YHWH, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And YHWH said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand.

Dawudi ne yeebuuza ku Mukama nti, “Ŋŋende nnumbe Abafirisuuti? Onoobagabula mu mukono gwange?” Mukama n’amuddamu nti, “Genda, kubanga nnaabagabula mu mukono gwo.”

20 And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there, and said, YHWH hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. 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 David and his men burned them.

Abafirisuuti ne baleka eyo balubaale baabwe be beekolera, Dawudi n’abasajja be ne babatwala.

22 And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

Abafirisuuti ne badda, ne basaasaana mu kiwonvu kya Lefayimu.

23 And when David inquired of YHWH, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.

Awo Dawudi bwe yeebuuza ku Mukama, n’amuddamu nti, “Tobatabaalirawo, naye beetooloole, obalumbe ng’obafuluma mu maaso g’emitugunda.

24 And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall YHWH go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.

Awo olunaatuuka bw’onoowulira abakumba ku masanso g’emitugunda, oyanguwe okulumba, kubanga ekyo kinaategeeza nti Mukama akukulembedde okuzikiriza eggye ly’Abafirisuuti.”

25 And David did so, as YHWH had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer.

Awo Dawudi n’akola nga Mukama bwe yamulagira, n’azikiriza Abafirisuuti okuva e Geba okutuuka e Gezeri.
