< 2 Samuel 5 >

1 Then [the leaders of] all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, and said to him, “Listen, we have the same ancestors [IDM] that you do.
Pagkatapos pumunta ang lahat ng lipi ng Israel kay David sa Hebron at sinabi, “Tingnan mo, kami ay iyong laman at buto.
2 In the past, when Saul was our king, it was you who led our Israeli soldiers [in our battles]. You are the one to whom Yahweh promised, ‘You will be the leader [MET] of my people; you will be their king.’”
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 while Yahweh was listening, all those leaders of the people of Israel declared there at Hebron [that David would be their king]. And David made a sacred agreement with them. They anointed him [with olive oil to set him apart] to be the king of the Israeli people.
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 30 years old when he became their king. He ruled them for 40 years.
Tatlumpung taong gulang si David nang nagsimula siyang maghari, at naghari siya ng apatnapung taon.
5 In Hebron he ruled over the tribe of Judah for seven and a half years, and in Jerusalem he ruled over all the people of Judah and Israel for 33 years.
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 [One day] King David and his soldiers went to Jerusalem to fight against the Jebus people-group who lived there. The people there thought that David’s army would not be able to capture the city, so they sent a message to David, saying “Your army will never be able to get inside our city! Even the blind and crippled people will be able to chase you away!”
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 But David’s army captured the fortress on Zion [Hill], [and later it was known as] David’s City.
Gayunpaman, nasakop ni David ang kuta ng Sion, na ngayon ay lungsod na ni David.
8 On that day, David said [to his soldiers], “Those who want to get rid of the Jebus people-group should go through the water tunnel [to enter the city]. Then they can attack those people whom I [SYN] detest—[and we will find out if any] blind and crippled people [will be able to stop them]!” That is why people say, “Blind and crippled people cannot enter Yahweh’s temple.”
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 [After] David [and his soldiers captured] the city with its strong walls around it, he lived there, and they named it ‘David’s City’. David [and his soldiers] built the city around the fortress, starting where the [land was (filled in/terraces) on the east side of the hill].
Kaya nanirahan si David sa kuta at tinawag itong siyudad ni David. Pinatibay niya ang palibot nito, mula sa terasa patungong loob.
10 David continued to become more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping him.
Naging lubos na makapangyarihan si David dahil kay Yahweh, ang Diyos ng mga hukbo, ay kasama niya.
11 [One day] Hiram, the king of Tyre [city], sent ambassadors/messengers to David [to talk about making agreements between their countries]. Hiram agreed to provide cedar trees [to make lumber], and also that he would send carpenters and masons, to build a palace for David.
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 His doing that caused David to realize that Yahweh truly had appointed him to be the king of Israel, and that Yahweh was going to cause his kingdom to prosper, because Yahweh loved the Israeli people, whom [he had chosen to] belong to him.
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 After David moved from Hebron to Jerusalem, he took more slave women to be his second-class wives, and he also married other women. [All of those women] gave birth to more sons and daughters.
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 The names of the sons who were born in Jerusalem were Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
Ito ang mga pangalan ng mga bata na ipinanganak sa kaniya sa Jerusalem: Sammua, Sobab, Natan, Solomon,
15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
Ibhar, Elisua, Nefeg, Jafia,
16 Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
Elisama, Eliada, at Elifelet.
17 When the Philistia people heard that David had been appointed to be the king of Israel, their army went up [toward Jerusalem] to try to capture David. But David heard that they were coming, so he went down to another fortified place.
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 [army of] Philistia arrived at Rephaim Valley [southwest of Jerusalem] and spread all over the valley.
Ngayon dumating ang mga Filisteo at nagsikalat sa lambak ng Refaim.
19 David asked Yahweh, “Should [my men and] I attack the Philistia army? Will you enable us to defeat them [IDM]?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, attack them, because I will certainly enable your army to defeat them. [IDM]”
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 So David [and his army] went to [where the Philistia army was], and there they defeated them. Then David said, “Yahweh has burst through my enemies like a flood.” [SIM] So that place is called ‘Lord of Bursting-through’.
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 The Philistia men left their idols there; so David and his soldiers took them away.
Iniwan ng mga taga-Filisteo ang kanilang mga diyus-diyosan doon, at dinala ni David at kaniyang mga tauhan ang mga ito.
22 Then the Philistia [army] returned to Rephaim Valley and spread all over the valley.
Pagkatapos umakyat muli ang mga taga-Filisteo at nagsikalat sa lambak ng Refaim.
23 So again David asked Yahweh [if his army should attack them]. But Yahweh replied, “Do not attack them [from here]. Tell your men to go around them and attack them from the other side, near the balsam 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 When you hear something in the tops of the balsam trees that sounds like [an army] marching, attack them, because I will have gone ahead of you [to enable your army] to defeat their army.”
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 So David did what Yahweh told him to do, and his [army] defeated the Philistia army from Geba [city] all the way [west] to Gezer [city].
Kaya ginawa ni David ang inutos ni Yahweh sa kaniya. Pinatay niya ang mgataga-Filisteo mula sa Geba hanggang sa Gezer.
