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.
Gbogbo ẹ̀yà Israẹli sì tọ Dafidi wá ní Hebroni, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Ẹran-ara rẹ àti ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ ni àwa ń í ṣe.
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.’”
Àti nígbà àtijọ́, nígbà tí Saulu fi jẹ ọba lórí wa, ìwọ ni ẹni tí ó máa ń kó Israẹli jáde, ìwọ sì ni ó máa ń mú wọn bọ̀ wá ilé: Olúwa sì wí fún ọ pé, ‘Ìwọ yóò ṣe olùṣọ́ Israẹli àwọn ènìyàn mi, ìwọ yóò sì jẹ́ olórí fún Israẹli.’”
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.
Gbogbo àgbàgbà Israẹli sì tọ ọba wá ní Hebroni, Dafidi ọba sì bá wọn ṣe àdéhùn kan ní Hebroni, níwájú Olúwa: wọ́n sì fi òróró yan Dafidi ní ọba Israẹli.
4 David was 30 years old when he became their king. He ruled them for 40 years.
Dafidi sì jẹ́ ẹni ọgbọ̀n ọdún nígbà tí ó jẹ ọba; ó sì jẹ ọba ní ogójì ọdún.
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.
Ó jẹ ọba ní Hebroni ní ọdún méje àti oṣù mẹ́fà lórí Juda, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu ní ọdún mẹ́tàlélọ́gbọ̀n lórí gbogbo Israẹli àti 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!”
Àti ọba àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ sì lọ sí Jerusalẹmu sọ́dọ̀ àwọn ará Jebusi, àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ náà; àwọn tí ó sì ti wí fún Dafidi pé, “Bí kò ṣe pé ìwọ bá mú àwọn afọ́jú àti àwọn arọ kúrò, ìwọ kì yóò wọ ìhín wá.” Wọ́n sì wí pé, “Dafidi kì yóò lè wá síyìn-ín.”
7 But David’s army captured the fortress on Zion [Hill], [and later it was known as] David’s City.
Ṣùgbọ́n Dafidi fi agbára gba ìlú odi Sioni: èyí náà ni í ṣe ìlú Dafidi.
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.”
Dafidi sọ lọ́jọ́ náà pé, “Ẹnikẹ́ni tí yóò kọlu àwọn ará Jebusi, jẹ́ kí ó gba ojú àgbàrá, kí o sí kọlu àwọn arọ, àti àwọn afọ́jú tí ọkàn Dafidi kórìíra.” Nítorí náà ni wọ́n ṣe wí pé, “Afọ́jú àti arọ wà níbẹ̀, kì yóò lè wọlé.”
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].
Dafidi sì jókòó ní ilé àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí ó ní odi, a sì ń pè é ní ìlú Dafidi. Dafidi mọ ògiri yí i ká láti Millo wá, ó sì kọ́ ilé nínú rẹ̀.
10 David continued to become more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping him.
Dafidi sì ń pọ̀ sí i, Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn ọmọ-ogun sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
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.
Hiramu ọba Tire sì rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ sí Dafidi, àti igi kedari, àti àwọn gbẹ́nàgbẹ́nà, àti àwọn tí ń gbẹ́ òkúta, wọ́n kọ́ ilé kan fún Dafidi.
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.
Dafidi sì kíyèsi i pé, Olúwa ti fi ìdí òun múlẹ̀ láti jẹ ọba lórí Israẹli, àti pé, ó gbé ìjọba rẹ̀ ga nítorí Israẹli àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
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.
Dafidi sì tún mú àwọn àlè àti aya sí i láti Jerusalẹmu wá, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó ti Hebroni bọ̀, wọ́n sì bí ọmọkùnrin àti ọmọbìnrin fún Dafidi.
14 The names of the sons who were born in Jerusalem were Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
Èyí sì ni orúkọ àwọn tí a bí fún un ní Jerusalẹmu; Ṣammua, Ṣobabu, Natani àti Solomoni.
15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
Àti Ibhari, àti Eliṣua, àti Nefegi, àti Jafia.
16 Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
Àti Eliṣama, àti Eliada, àti Elifeleti.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwọn Filistini gbọ́ pé, wọ́n ti fi Dafidi jẹ ọba lórí Israẹli, gbogbo àwọn Filistini sì gòkè wá láti wá Dafidi; Dafidi sì gbọ́, ó sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ìlú olódi.
18 The [army of] Philistia arrived at Rephaim Valley [southwest of Jerusalem] and spread all over the valley.
Àwọn Filistini sì wá, wọ́n sì tẹ ara wọn ní àfonífojì Refaimu.
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]”
Dafidi sì béèrè lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa pé, “Kí èmi ó gòkè tọ àwọn Filistini bí? Ìwọ ó fi wọ́n lé mi lọ́wọ́ bí?” Olúwa sì wí fún Dafidi pé, “Gòkè lọ, nítorí pé dájúdájú èmi ó fi àwọn Filistini lé ọ lọ́wọ́.”
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’.
Dafidi sì dé Baali-Perasimu, Dafidi sì pa wọ́n níbẹ̀, ó sì wí pé, “Olúwa ti ya lu àwọn ọ̀tá mi níwájú mi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí omi ti ń ya.” Nítorí náà ni òun ṣe pe orúkọ ibẹ̀ náà ni Baali-Perasimu.
21 The Philistia men left their idols there; so David and his soldiers took them away.
Wọ́n sì fi òrìṣà wọn sílẹ̀ níbẹ̀, Dafidi àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ sì kó wọn.
22 Then the Philistia [army] returned to Rephaim Valley and spread all over the valley.
Àwọn Filistini sì tún gòkè wá, wọ́n sì tan ara wọn kalẹ̀ ní àfonífojì Refaimu.
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.
Dafidi sì béèrè lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa, òun sì wí pé, “Má ṣe gòkè lọ; ṣùgbọ́n bù wọ́n lẹ́yìn, kí o sì kọlù wọ́n níwájú àwọn igi Baka.
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.”
Yóò sì ṣe, nígbà tí ìwọ bá gbọ́ ìró ẹsẹ̀ lórí àwọn igi Baka náà, nígbà náà ni ìwọ yóò sì yára, nítorí pé nígbà náà ni Olúwa yóò jáde lọ níwájú rẹ láti kọlù ogun àwọn Filistini.”
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].
Dafidi sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún un; ó sì kọlu àwọn Filistini láti Geba títí dé Geseri.
