< 2 Samuel 5 >
1 Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spoke, saying, Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
Pagkatapos pumunta ang lahat ng lipi ng Israel kay David sa Hebron at sinabi, “Tingnan mo, kami ay iyong laman at buto.
2 Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, you were he that led out and brought in Israel: and the LORD said to you, You shall feed my people Israel, and you shall be a captain over Israel.
Sa nakaraang panahon, nang si Saul pa ang hari sa ating lahat, ikaw itong nangunguna sa hukbo ng Israelita. Sinabi ni Yahweh sa iyo, 'Magiging pastol ka ng aking bayan ng Israel, at magiging pinuno ka ng buong Israel.'''
3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD: and they anointed David king over Israel.
Kaya dumating ang lahat na nakatatanda ng Israel sa hari ng Hebron, at gumawa si Haring David ng isang kasunduan sa kanila sa harapan ni Yahweh. Hinirang nila si David na maging hari ng buong Israel.
4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
Tatlumpung taong gulang si David nang nagsimula siyang maghari, at naghari siya ng apatnapung taon.
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.
Sa Hebron naghari siya sa buong Juda ng pitong taon at anim na buwan, at sa Jerusalem naghari siya ng tatlumpu't tatlong taon sa buong Israel at Juda.
6 And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: which spoke unto David, saying, Except you take away the blind and the lame, you shall not come in here: thinking, David cannot come in here.
Pumunta ang hari at ang mga tauha niya sa Jerusalem laban sa mga Jebuseo, ang mga mamamayan ng lupain. Sinabi nila kay David, “Huwag kang babalik dito maliban kung papaalisin ka sa pamamagitan ng mga bulag at lumpo. Hindi makakapunta dito si David.”
7 Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David.
Gayunpaman, nasakop ni David ang kuta ng Sion, na ngayon ay lungsod na ni David.
8 And David said on that day, Whosoever gets up to the watercourse, and strikes 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.
Sa oras na iyon sinabi ni David, 'Sinuman ang sasalakay sa mga taga-Jebus ay kailangang pumunta sa pamamagitan ng tubig at aabutin nila ang 'lumpo at bulag,' ang mga galit kay David.” kaya sinabi ng mga tao iyan, “Hindi makakapunta ang 'bulag at lumpo' sa palasyo.”
9 So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.
Kaya nanirahan si David sa kuta at tinawag itong siyudad ni David. Pinatibay niya ang palibot nito, mula sa terasa patungong loob.
10 And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts was with him.
Naging lubos na makapangyarihan si David dahil kay Yahweh, ang Diyos ng mga hukbo, ay kasama niya.
11 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and stone workers: and they built David an house.
Pagkatapos nagpadala ng mga mensahero si Hiram hari ng Tyre kay David, at mga punong sedro, karpintero, at mason. Nagtayo sila ng bahay para kay David.
12 And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sake.
Alam ni David na itinalaga siya ni Yahweh bilang hari sa buong Israel, at sa gayon naging dakila ang kaniyang kaharian para sa kapakanan ng kaniyang bayang Israel.
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.
Pagkatapos nilisan ni David ang Hebron at pumunta sa Jerusalem, kumuha siya ng maraming kerida at mga asawa sa Jerusalem, at maraming mga lalaking anak at mga babaeng anak ang ipinanganak sa kaniya.
14 And these be the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem; Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
Ito ang mga pangalan ng mga bata na ipinanganak sa kaniya sa Jerusalem: Sammua, Sobab, Natan, Solomon,
15 Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
Ibhar, Elisua, Nefeg, Jafia,
16 And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.
Elisama, Eliada, at Elifelet.
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.
Ngayon nang mabalitaan ng mga Filisteo na nahirang na si David bilang hari ng buong Israel, lumabas silang lahat para makita siya. Pero nabalitaan ni David ito at bumaba siya sa kuta.
18 The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
Ngayon dumating ang mga Filisteo at nagsikalat sa lambak ng Refaim.
19 And David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? will you deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hand.
Pagkatapos humingi si David ng tulong mula kay Yahweh. Sinabi niya, “Kailangan ko bang salakayin ang Filisteo? Bibigyan mo ba ako ng tagumpay laban sa kanila?” Sinabi ni Yahweh kay David, “Salakayin mo, dahil siguradong bibigyan kita ng tagumpay laban sa Filisteo.”
20 And David came to Baalperazim, and David stroke them there, and said, The LORD has broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baalperazim.
Kaya sinalakay ni David ang Baal Perazim, at doon tinalo niya sila. Sinabi niya, “Pinatumba ni Yahweh ang aking mga kalaban sa aking harapan katulad ng isang rumaragasang tubig baha.” Kaya naging Baal Perazim ang pangalan ng lugar na iyon.
21 And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them.
Iniwan ng mga taga-Filisteo ang kanilang mga diyus-diyosan doon, at dinala ni David at kaniyang mga tauhan ang mga ito.
22 And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
Pagkatapos umakyat muli ang mga taga-Filisteo at nagsikalat sa lambak ng Refaim.
23 And when David enquired of the LORD, he said, You shall not go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them opposite to the mulberry trees.
Kaya muling humingi si David ng tulong mula kay Yahweh, at sinabi ni Yahweh sa kaniya, “Hindi mo dapat salakayin ang kanilang harapan, pero palibutan mo ang likuran nila at lapitan mo sila sa pamamagitan ng mga kahoy ng balsam.
24 And let it be, when you hear the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then you shall bestir yourself: for then shall the LORD go out before you, to strike the host of the Philistines.
Kapag narinig mo ang tunog ng pag-ihip ng hangin sa itaas ng mga punong balsam, salakayin mo sila nang may lakas. Gawin mo ito dahil pangungunahan ka ni Yahweh para salakayin ang hukbong ng mga taga-Filisteo.''
25 And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and stroke the Philistines from Geba until you come to Gazer.
Kaya ginawa ni David ang inutos ni Yahweh sa kaniya. Pinatay niya ang mgataga-Filisteo mula sa Geba hanggang sa Gezer.
