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;

Mgbe ahụ, ndị ebo Izrel niile bịakwutere Devid na Hebrọn, sị ya, “Lee, ọkpụkpụ gị na anụ ahụ gị ka anyị bụ.

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.”

Nʼoge gara aga, mgbe Sọl bụ eze na-achị anyị, ọ bụ gị duuru ndị agha Izrel nʼọgụ niile, ma ọpụpụ ma mbata. Onyenwe anyị sịrị gị, ‘Ị ga-azụ ndị m, bụ Izrel, ị ga-abụkwa onye ga-achị ha.’”

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.

Mgbe ndị okenye Izrel niile bịakwutere Devid na Hebrọn, ha na eze Devid gbara ndụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị na Hebrọn. Ha tere Devid mmanụ ịbụ eze Izrel.

4 A son of thirty years [is] David in his being king; he has reigned [for] forty years;

Devid gbara iri afọ atọ mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze. Ọ chịkwara iri afọ anọ.

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.

Ọ chịrị ndị Juda niile na Hebrọn afọ asaa na ọnwa isii. Chịakwa ndị Izrel na Juda niile mgbe ọ nọ na Hebrọn na mgbe ọ nọ na Jerusalem iri afọ atọ na atọ,

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.”

Eze na ndị ikom ya zọọrọ ije garuo Jerusalem ibuso ndị Jebus bi nʼebe ahụ agha. Ndị Jebus gwara Devid sị, “Ị gaghị abata nʼebe a, ọ bụladị ndị ìsì na ndị ngwụrọ nwere ike ịchụghachi gị azụ.” Ha na-eche sị, “Devid agaghị abata nʼebe a,”

7 And David captures the fortress of Zion, it [is] the City of David.

nʼagbanyeghị okwu ndị a, Devid dọtara ebe ahụ e wusiri ike nke Zayọn nʼagha, ya bụ obodo Devid.

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.”

Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Devid kwuru sị, “Onye ọbụla ga-emeri ndị Jebus ga-esite nʼọnụ warawara ebe mmiri si abanye nʼobodo a banyekwuru ndị ngwụrọ na ndị ìsì a bụ ndị iro Devid.” Ọ bụ nke a mere ha ji ekwu okwu sị, “Ndị ìsì na ndị ngwụrọ agaghị abata nʼụlọeze ahụ.”

9 And David dwells in the fortress, and calls it the City of David, and David builds all around, from Millo and inward,

Devid biiri nʼebe ahụ e wusiri ike, kpọọ ya obodo Devid. O wuru akụkụ ebe dị gburugburu ya, site na Milo baa ruo nʼime ya.

10 and David goes, going on and becoming great, and YHWH, God of Hosts, [is] with him.

Ma ọ gara nʼihu na-adị ukwuu karịa, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị, Chineke, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile nọnyeere ya.

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,

Hiram bụ Eze Taịa, zitere Devid osisi sida e ji ewu ụlọ, na ndị ǹka osisi, ndị na-ewu ụlọ. Ha wuuru Devid ụlọeze.

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.

Mgbe ahụ, Devid ghọtara na Onyenwe anyị emeela ka o guzosie ike dịka eze ndị Izrel. Bulikwa alaeze ya elu nʼihi ndị ya Izrel.

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.

Mgbe Devid sitere na Hebrọn kwabata na Jerusalem; ọ lụrụ ndị inyom ọzọ, nwetakwara onwe ya ọtụtụ ndị iko nwanyị. Ọ mụtakwara ọtụtụ ụmụ nwoke na ụmụ nwanyị.

14 And these [are] the names of those born to him in Jerusalem: Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

Ndị a bụ aha ụmụ a mụụrụ ya na Jerusalem: Shamua, Shobab, Netan, Solomọn,

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

Ibha, Elishua, Nefeg, Jafia,

16 and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.

Elishama, Eliada na Elifelet.

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,

Mgbe ndị Filistia nụrụ na eteela Devid mmanụ ị bụ eze ndị Izrel, ha pụrụ ka igwe ha niile ha ịchọ ya. Ma Devid nụrụ maka ya, gbadaa nʼime ebe ahụ e wusiri ike.

18 and the Philistines have come, and are spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.

Ma ndị Filistia bịara, gbasaa onwe ha na Ndagwurugwu Refaim niile.

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.”

Mgbe ahụ, Devid jụrụOnyenwe anyị ase sị, “Ọ bụ m gaa buso ndị Filistia agha? Ị ga-enyefe ha nʼaka m?” Onyenwe anyị zara sị ya, “Gaa, nʼihi na aghaghị m inyefe ndị Filistia nʼaka gị.”

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.

Ya mere, Devid gara Baal-Perazim, meriekwa ha nʼebe ahụ. O kwuru sị, “Onyenwe anyị enupula megide ndị iro m nʼihu m, dịka idee mmiri si enupu.” Nʼihi ya, a kpọrọ ebe ahụ Baal-Perazim.

21 And they forsake their idols there, and David and his men lift them up.

Ndị Filistia hapụrụ arụsị niile ha nʼebe ahụ. Devid na ndị ikom ya chịkọtara ha chịpụ.

22 And the Philistines add again to come up, and are spread out in the Valley of Rephaim,

Ma ndị Filistia lọghachiri ọzọ, gbasaa onwe ha na Ndagwurugwu Refaim.

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,

Nʼihi nke a, Devid jụrụ Onyenwe anyị ase, ọ zara sị, “Esitekwala nʼihu ha gaa, kama gaa gburugburu ruo nʼazụ ha, buso ha agha na ncherita ihu osisi balsam ndị ahụ.

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.”

Ngwangwa ị nụrụ ụda ikiri ụkwụ nʼelu osisi balsam ndị ahụ, mee ngwa malite ọgụ, nʼihi na nke a pụtara na Onyenwe anyị eburula unu ụzọ pụọ, itigbu ndị agha Filistia.”

25 And David does so, as YHWH commanded him, and strikes the Philistines from Geba to your coming to Gazer.

Devid mere dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu. O tigburu ndị Filistia, site na Geba ruo Gaza.
