2 Samuel 5
1 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “Look, we are your flesh and bone.
以色列众支派来到希伯 见大卫，说：“我们原是你的骨肉。
2 In the recent past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led the Israelite army. Yahweh said to you, 'You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become ruler over Israel.'”
从前扫罗作我们王的时候，率领以色列人出入的是你；耶和华也曾应许你说：‘你必牧养我的民以色列，作以色列的君。’”
3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them before Yahweh. They anointed David king over Israel.
于是以色列的长老都来到希伯 见大卫王，大卫在希伯 耶和华面前与他们立约，他们就膏大卫作以色列的王。
4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
大卫登基的时候年三十岁，在位四十年；
5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.
在希伯 作犹大王七年零六个月，在耶路撒冷作以色列和犹大王三十三年。
6 The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land. They said to David, “You will not come here except to be turned away by the blind and the lame. David cannot come here.”
大卫和跟随他的人到了耶路撒冷，要攻打住那地方的耶布斯人。耶布斯人对大卫说：“你若不赶出瞎子、瘸子，必不能进这地方”；心里想大卫决不能进去。
7 Nevertheless, David captured the stronghold of Zion, which now is the city of David.
然而大卫攻取锡安的保障，就是大卫的城。
8 At that time David said, “Those who attack the Jebusites will have to go through the water shaft to reach the 'lame and the blind' who are David's enemies.” That is why people say, “The 'blind and the lame' must not enter the palace.”
当日，大卫说：“谁攻打耶布斯人，当上水沟攻打我心里所恨恶的瘸子、瞎子。”从此有俗语说：“在那里有瞎子、瘸子，他不能进屋去。”
9 So David lived in the stronghold and called it the city of David. He fortified around it, from the terrace toward the inside.
大卫住在保障里，给保障起名叫大卫城。大卫又从米罗以里，周围筑墙。
10 David became very powerful because Yahweh, the God of hosts, was with him.
大卫日见强盛，因为耶和华—万军之 神与他同在。
11 Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, carpenters, and masons. They built a house for David.
泰尔王希兰将香柏木运到大卫那里，又差遣使者和木匠、石匠给大卫建造宫殿。
12 David knew that Yahweh had established him as king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.
大卫就知道耶和华坚立他作以色列王，又为自己的民以色列使他的国兴旺。
13 After David left Hebron and came to Jerusalem, he took more concubines and wives in Jerusalem, and more sons and daughters were born to him.
大卫离开希伯 之后，在耶路撒冷又立后妃，又生儿女。
14 These were the names of the children who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
在耶路撒冷所生的儿子是沙母亚、朔罢、拿单、所罗门、
15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
益辖、以利书亚、尼斐、雅非亚、
16 Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
以利沙玛、以利雅大、以利法列。
17 Now when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over Israel, they all went out looking for him. But David heard about it and went down to the stronghold.
非利士人听见人膏大卫作以色列王，非利士众人就上来寻索大卫；大卫听见，就下到保障。
18 Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
非利士人来了，布散在利乏音谷。
19 Then David asked for help from Yahweh. He said, “Should I attack the Philistines? Will you give victory over them?” Yahweh said to David, “Attack, for I will certainly give you victory over the Philistines.”
大卫求问耶和华说：“我可以上去攻打非利士人吗？你将他们交在我手里吗？”耶和华说：“你可以上去，我必将非利士人交在你手里。”
20 So David attacked at Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He commented, “Yahweh has burst through my enemies before me like a bursting flood of water.” So the name of that place became Baal Perazim.
大卫来到巴力·毗拉心，在那里击杀非利士人，说：“耶和华在我面前冲破敌人，如同水冲去一般。”因此称那地方为巴力·毗拉心。
21 The Philistines left their idols there, and David and his men carried them away.
非利士人将偶像撇在那里，大卫和跟随他的人拿去了。
22 Then the Philistines came up again and spread out once more in the Valley of Rephaim.
非利士人又上来，布散在利乏音谷。
23 So David sought help from Yahweh again, and Yahweh said to him, “You must not attack their front, but rather circle around behind them and come on them through the balsam woods.
大卫求问耶和华；耶和华说：“不要一直地上去，要转到他们后头，从桑林对面攻打他们。
24 When you hear the sound of marching in the wind blowing through the balsam treetops, then attack with force. Do this because Yahweh will have gone out before you to attack the army of the Philistines.”
你听见桑树梢上有脚步的声音，就要急速前去，因为那时耶和华已经在你前头去攻打非利士人的军队。”
25 So David did as Yahweh had commanded him. He killed Philistines from Geba all the way to Gezer.
大卫就遵着耶和华所吩咐的去行，攻打非利士人，从迦巴直到基色。
