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.

Ebika byonna ebya Isirayiri ne bigenda eri Dawudi e Kebbulooni, ne boogera nti, “Laba, tuli mubiri gwo era musaayi gwo.

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.

Mu biro eby’edda, Sawulo nga ye kabaka waffe, gwe wakulemberanga Isirayiri mu ntalo. Era Mukama yakwogerako nti, ‘Olirunda abantu bange Isirayiri, era oliba mukulembeze waabwe.’”

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.

Awo abakadde bonna aba Isirayiri bwe bajja eri kabaka e Kebbulooni, n’akola nabo endagaano e Kebbulooni mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda, era ne bafuka amafuta ku Dawudi okuba kabaka wa Isirayiri.

4 David [was] thirty years old when he began to reign, [and] he reigned forty years.

Dawudi we yatanulira okuba kabaka yalina emyaka amakumi asatu; n’afugira emyaka amakumi ana.

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.

Mu Kebbulooni n’afugirayo Yuda emyaka musanvu n’ekitundu, ate mu Yerusaalemi n’afugiramu Isirayiri yenna ne Yuda emyaka asatu mu esatu.

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.

Kabaka n’abasajja be ne boolekera Yerusaalemi okulwana n’Abayebusi abaabeeranga eyo. Abayebusi ne bagamba Dawudi nti, “Toliyingira muno, kubanga abazibe b’amaaso n’abalema balikulwanyisa ne bakulemesa;” nga balowooza nti Dawudi tayinza kukiyingira.

7 Nevertheless, David took the strong hold of Zion: the same [is] the city of David.

Naye Dawudi n’awamba ekigo kya Sayuuni, ky’ekibuga kya Dawudi.

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.

Ku lunaku olwo Dawudi n’alagira nti, “Abanaagenda okutta Abayebusi, bayitire ku lusalosalo batte abazibe b’amaaso n’abalema, emmeeme ya Dawudi b’ekyawa.” Kyekyava kigambibwa nti, “Abazibe b’amaaso n’abalema tebaliyingira mu lubiri.”

9 So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built around from Millo and inward.

Dawudi n’abeera mu kigo, n’akituuma Ekibuga kya Dawudi. N’azimba ekibuga okukyetooloola, n’akiteekako ne bbugwe.

10 And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts [was] with him.

Dawudi ne yeeyongeranga okuba ow’amaanyi kubanga Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye yali wamu naye.

11 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David a house.

Awo kabaka Kiramu ow’e Ttuulo n’atuma ababaka ne batwala emivule, ne bagenda, n’abazimbi b’amayinja, n’ababazzi eri Dawudi okumuzimbira olubiri.

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.

Dawudi n’ategeera nga Mukama yali amunywezezza okuba kabaka wa Isirayiri, era ng’agulumizizza obwakabaka bwe olw’abantu ba Mukama Isirayiri.

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.

Dawudi bwe yava e Kebbulooni n’awasa abakyala abalala mu Yerusaalemi, abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala ne bamuzaalirwa.

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

Amannya g’abo abaamuzaalirwa mu Yerusaalemi gaali Sammuwa, ne Sobabu, ne Nasani, ne Sulemaani,

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

ne Ibukali, ne Eriswa, ne Nefegi, ne Yafiya,

16 And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.

ne Erisaama, ne Eriyada ne Erifereti.

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.

Awo Abafirisuuti bwe baawulira nga Dawudi afukiddwako amafuta okuba kabaka wa Isirayiri, bonna ne bambuka okumunoonya, naye Dawudi n’akiwulira n’aserengeta mu kigo kye.

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

Abafirisuuti baali bazze nga basaasaanye mu kiwonvu Lefayimu.

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.

Dawudi ne yeebuuza ku Mukama nti, “Ŋŋende nnumbe Abafirisuuti? Onoobagabula mu mukono gwange?” Mukama n’amuddamu nti, “Genda, kubanga nnaabagabula mu mukono gwo.”

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.

Awo Dawudi n’agenda e Baaluperazimu, era n’abawangula. N’ayogera nti, “Mukama abonerezza abalabe bange mu maaso gange, ng’embuyaga ez’amazzi bwe zita ne zikulukuta n’amaanyi.” Era ekifo ekyo kyekyava kituumibwa Baaluperazimu.

21 And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them.

Abafirisuuti ne baleka eyo balubaale baabwe be beekolera, Dawudi n’abasajja be ne babatwala.

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

Abafirisuuti ne badda, ne basaasaana mu kiwonvu kya Lefayimu.

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.

Awo Dawudi bwe yeebuuza ku Mukama, n’amuddamu nti, “Tobatabaalirawo, naye beetooloole, obalumbe ng’obafuluma mu maaso g’emitugunda.

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.

Awo olunaatuuka bw’onoowulira abakumba ku masanso g’emitugunda, oyanguwe okulumba, kubanga ekyo kinaategeeza nti Mukama akukulembedde okuzikiriza eggye ly’Abafirisuuti.”

25 And David did so as the LORD had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou comest to Gazer.

Awo Dawudi n’akola nga Mukama bwe yamulagira, n’azikiriza Abafirisuuti okuva e Geba okutuuka e Gezeri.
