2 Samuel 5
1 And all the tribes of Israel come to David, to Hebron, and speak, saying, “Behold, we [are] your bone and your flesh;
以色列各支派聚集到赫貝龍，來見達味說：「看，我們都是你的骨肉。
2 also thus far, in Saul’s being king over us, you have been he who is bringing out and bringing in Israel, and YHWH says to you, You feed My people Israel, and you are for leader over Israel.”
以前，連撒烏耳當我們的君王時，也是你率領以色列出入征討；上主曾對你說過：你應牧養我的百姓以色列，作以色列的領袖。」
3 And all [the] elderly of Israel come to the king, to Hebron, and King David makes a covenant with them in Hebron before YHWH, and they anoint David for king over Israel.
隨後，以色列所有的長老都到赫貝龍來見君王，達味君王就在赫貝龍，當上主的面同他們立了盟約；他們便給達味傅油，立他為以色列王。
4 A son of thirty years [is] David in his being king; he has reigned [for] forty years;
達味登極時已三十歲，做王四十年；
5 he reigned over Judah in Hebron [for] seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned [for] thirty-three years, over all Israel and Judah.
在赫貝龍做猶大王，七年零六個月；在耶路撒冷做全以色列和猶大王三十三年。
6 And the king goes, and his men, to Jerusalem, to the Jebusite, the inhabitant of the land, and they speak to David, saying, “You do not come in here, except [that] you turn aside the blind and the lame,” saying, “David does not come in here.”
以後，達味和他的人向耶路撒冷進發，攻打住在那地方的耶步斯人，有人告訴達味說：「你決攻不進去，因為瞎眼瘸腿的也會把你趕走。」這是說：「達味決攻不進去。」
7 And David captures the fortress of Zion, it [is] the City of David.
但是達味卻佔領了熙雍山堡，即達味城。
8 And on that day David says, “Anyone striking the Jebusite, let him go up by the watercourse (and the lame and the blind—the hated of David’s soul).” Therefore they say, “The blind and lame—he does not come into the house.”
那日達味宣佈說：「凡攻打耶步斯人，從水道首先到達味所惱恨的那些瘸腿瞎眼的人那裏的，他要升為軍長和元帥。」責魯雅的兒子約阿布首先上去了，因而成了元帥。但為此有句俗語說：「有瞎眼瘸腿的在此，人是進不去的! 」
9 And David dwells in the fortress, and calls it the City of David, and David builds all around, from Millo and inward,
達味住在那山堡內，稱之為達味城。達味又從米羅往裏，四周加建了城牆。
10 and David goes, going on and becoming great, and YHWH, God of Hosts, [is] with him.
達味日漸強盛，上主萬軍的天主與他同在。
11 And Hiram king of Tyre sends messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and craftsmen of wood, and craftsmen of stone, for walls, and they build a house for David,
提洛王希蘭派使臣來見達味，給他送來了香柏木，派來了木匠石匠，為他建造宮室。
12 and David knows that YHWH has established him for king over Israel, and that He has lifted up his kingdom, because of His people Israel.
那時，達味知道上主已堅定他為以色列王，並為了自己的百姓以色列，提高了他的王位。
13 And again David takes concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after his coming from Hebron, and again there are born to David sons and daughters.
達味從赫貝龍遷來以後，在耶路撒冷又娶了妻妾，生了一些子女。
14 And these [are] the names of those born to him in Jerusalem: Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
他在耶路撒冷所生兒子的名字如下：沙慕亞、芍巴布、納堂、撒羅滿、
15 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
依貝哈爾、厄里叔亞、乃費格、雅非亞、
16 and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.
厄里沙瑪、厄肋雅達和厄里培肋特。
17 And the Philistines hear that they have anointed David for king over Israel, and all the Philistines come up to seek David, and David hears, and goes down to the fortress,
培肋舍特人聽說：達味受傅作了以色列王，遂都上來向達味尋釁；達味一聽說，便下到堡壘中。
18 and the Philistines have come, and are spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
培肋舍特人來到後，散布在勒法因平原內。
19 And David asks of YHWH, saying, “Do I go up to the Philistines? Do You give them into my hand?” And YHWH says to David, “Go up, for I certainly give the Philistines into your hand.”
那時達味求問上主說：「我可以上去攻打培肋舍特人嗎﹖你將他們交在我手中嗎﹖」上主回答達味說：「你上去，我必將培肋舍特人交在你手中。」
20 And David comes to Ba‘al-Perazim, and David strikes them there, and says, “YHWH has broken forth [on] my enemies before me, as the breaking forth of waters”; therefore he has called the name of that place Ba‘al-Perazim.
達味於是來到巴耳培辣親，在那裏擊敗了他們。達味因此說：「上主使我的敵人在我面前崩潰，如水破堤。」為此，後人稱這地方為巴耳培辣親。
21 And they forsake their idols there, and David and his men lift them up.
培肋舍特人把自己的神像都遺棄在那裏，達味和他的人便將這些神像都帶走了。
22 And the Philistines add again to come up, and are spread out in the Valley of Rephaim,
培肋舍特人又上來，散布在勒法因平原內。
23 and David asks of YHWH, and He says, “You do not go up, turn around to their rear, and you have come to them from the front [[or in front]] of the mulberries,
達味又求問上主，上主說：「不要上去，但要繞到他們後方，從桑林那邊抄他們的後路。
24 and it comes to pass, in your hearing the sound of a stepping in the tops of the mulberries, then you move sharply, for then YHWH has gone out before you to strike in the camp of the Philistines.”
當你聽到桑樹梢上有腳步聲時，你就趕快行動，因為那時正是上主在你前面出擊培肋舍特人的軍隊。」
25 And David does so, as YHWH commanded him, and strikes the Philistines from Geba to your coming to Gazer.
達味就照上主所命的行了，擊殺培肋舍特人，從基貝紅直到革則爾。
