2 Samuel 5

1 Then came all the tribes of Israel to David to Hebron, and spoke, saying, Behold, we [are] thy bone and thy 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 in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain 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 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD: and they anointed David 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 David [was] thirty years old when he began to reign, [and] he reigned forty years.

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

5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and 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 and his men went to Jerusalem to the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: who spoke to David, saying, Except thou shalt take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking, David cannot come in hither.

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 Nevertheless, David took the strong hold of Zion: the same [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 David said on that day, Whoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, [that are] hated by David's soul, [he shall be chief and captain]: Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall 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 So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built 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 went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts [was] 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 sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David a house.

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 perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sake.

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 David took [him] more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.

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 that were 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 Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

Ibha, Elishua, Nefeg, Jafia,

16 And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.

Elishama, Eliada na Elifelet.

17 But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and David heard [of it], and went down to the hold.

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 The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

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

19 And David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the LORD said to David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thy 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 came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there, and said, The LORD hath broken forth upon my enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baal-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 there they left their images, and David and his men burned them.

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

22 And the Philistines came yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

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

23 And when David inquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shalt not go up: [but] fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry-trees.

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 let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite the host 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 did so as the LORD had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou comest to Gazer.

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