1 Chronicles 14
1 And Churam the king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and trees of cedars, and masons and carpenters, to build him a house.
Kisha Hiramu mfalme wa Tire alituma wajumbe kwa Daudi, na miti ya mierezi, maseremala, na wajenzi. Walijenga nyumba kwa ajili yake.
2 And David felt conscious that the Lord had established him as king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, because of his people Israel.
Daudi alijua kuwa Yahweh alimfanya kuwa mfalme juu ya Waisraeli, na hivyo ufalme wake ulitukuzwa juu sana kwa ajili ya watu wa Israeli
3 And David took yet more wives at Jerusalem; and David begat more sons and daughters.
Ndani ya Yerusalemu, Daudi aliongeza wake, na akawa baba wa wana wengi na mabinti.
4 And these are the names of the children that he had in Jerusalem: Shammua', and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
Haya yalikuwa majina ya watoto waliozaliwa nae huko yerusalemu: Shammua, Shobabu, nathani, Solimoni,
5 And Yibchar, and Elishua', and Elpalet,
Ibhari, Elishama, Elpeleti,
6 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Yaphia',
Noga, Nefegi, Jafia,
7 And Elishama', and Be'elyada', and Eliphalet.
Elishama, Beliada, na Elifeleti.
8 But when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David: and David heard of it, and went out against them.
Sasa tangu Wafilisti waliposikia Daudi amepakwa mafuta kama mfalme juu ya Waisraeli, wote walitoka nje kwenda kumtafuta. Lakini Daudi alisikia kuhusu hilo nae akaenda nje kinyume nao.
9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves out in the valley of Rephaim.
Sasa wafilisti walikuja na kufanya shambulio katika bonde la Refaimu.
10 And David asked counsel of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said unto him, Go up; and I will deliver them into thy hand.
Kisha Daudi akaomba msaada kwa Mungu. Akasema, “Je niwashambulie Wafilisti? Utanipa ushindi juu yao?” Yahweh akamwambia, “Shambulia, kwa uhakika nitawakabidhi kwako.”
11 And they came up to Ba'al-perazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken down my enemies through my hand as a breach [is made] by water: therefore they called the name of that place Ba'al-perazim.
Kwa hivyo wakaja Baali Perazimu na akawashinda. Akasema, “Yahweh kapasua maadui zangu kwa mkono wangu kama vile mpasuko wa mafuriko ya maji.” Hivyo jina la sehemu ile likawa Baali Perazimu.
12 And they left behind there their gods, and David gave the order, and they were burnt with fire.
Wafilisti walitelekeza miungu yao pale, na Daudi akatoa amri wateketezwe kwa moto.
13 And the Philistines [came] once again, and spread themselves out in the valley.
Kisha Wafilisti wakavamia kwa mara nyingine tena.
14 And David asked again counsel of God; and God said unto him, Thou shalt not go up after them: turn about from them, and come upon them opposite the mulberry-trees,
Hivyo Daudi akaomba msaada kwa Mungu tena. Mungu akamwambia, “Usiwashambulie kwa mbele, lakini wazunguke kwa nyuma yao na uwajie kupitia misitu ya balisamu.
15 And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of walking on the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God will be gone forth before thee to smite the camp of the Philistines.
Utakaposikia sauti ya wanajeshi wanatembea kwenye upepo uvumao kutoka juu ya miti ya balisamu, kisha shambulia kwa nguvu. Fanya hivyo kwasababu Mungu atakutangulia kwenda kuwashambulia majeshi ya wafilisti.”
16 And David did as God had commanded him; and they smote the camp of the Philistines from Gib'on as far as Gezer.
Hivyo Daudi alifanya kama Mungu alivyo muamuru. Aliwashinda jeshi la Wafilisti kutoka Gibeoni mpaka Gezeri.
17 And the fame of David went out into all the lands; and the Lord laid the dread of him upon all the nations.
Kisha umaarufu wa Daudi ukaenda katika nchi zote, na Yahweh akasababisha mataifa yote kumuhofia.
