1 Chronicles 14
1 Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees, masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.
Hiramu mfumu ya ku Turo inatumiza amithenga kwa Davide pamodzi ndi mitengo ya mkungudza ndiponso amisiri a miyala ndi amisiri a matabwa kuti adzamumangire nyumba yaufumu.
2 David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted, for his people Israel’s sake.
Choncho Davide anazindikira kuti Yehova wamukhazikitsa kukhala mfumu ya Israeli ndipo wakuza kwambiri ufumu wake chifukwa cha anthu ake, Aisraeli.
3 David took more wives in Jerusalem, and David became the father of more sons and daughters.
Davide anakwatira akazi ena ambiri ku Yerusalemu ndipo anabereka ana aamuna ndi aakazi ambiri.
4 These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
Mayina a ana amene anaberekera ku Yerusalemu anali awa: Samua, Sobabu, Natani, Solomoni,
5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
Ibihari, Elisua, Elipeleti,
6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
Noga, Nefegi, Yafiya,
7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
Elisama, Beeliada ndi Elifeleti.
8 When the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went out against them.
Afilisti atamva kuti Davide wadzozedwa kukhala mfumu ya dziko lonse la Israeli, iwo anapita mwamphamvu kukamusakasaka. Koma Davide atamva zimenezi anapita kukakumana nawo.
9 Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.
Ndipo Afilisti anabwera ndi kulanda zinthu mʼChigwa cha Refaimu.
10 David enquired of God, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” The LORD said to him, “Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand.”
Davide anafunsa Mulungu kuti, “Kodi ndipite kukathira nkhondo Afilisti? Kodi mukawapereka mʼmanja mwanga?” Yehova anamuyankha kuti, “Pita, Ine ndidzawapereka mʼmanja mwako.”
11 So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like waters breaking out. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
Choncho Davide ndi anthu ake anapita ku Baala-Perazimu ndi kugonjetsa Afilistiwo. Iye anati, “Monga amasefukira madzi, Mulungu waphwanya adani anga ine ndikuona.” Motero anawatcha malowa Baala Perazimu.
12 They left their gods there; and David gave a command, and they were burnt with fire.
Afilisti anasiya milungu yawo kumeneko ndipo Davide analamulira kuti itenthedwe ndi moto.
13 The Philistines made another raid in the valley.
Nthawi inanso Afilisti anadzalanda katundu mu Chigwamo.
14 David enquired again of God; and God said to him, “You shall not go up after them. Turn away from them, and come on them opposite the mulberry trees.
Choncho Davide anafunsa Mulungu ndipo Mulunguyo anayankha kuti, “Usapite molunjika, koma uzungulire kumbuyo kwawo. Ukawathire nkhondo patsogolo pa mitengo ya mkandankhuku.
15 When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”
Mukakangomva phokoso pa msonga za mitengo ya mkandankhuku, mukapite kukamenyana nawo, chifukwa izi zikasonyeza kuti Mulungu ali patsogolo panu kukantha ankhondo a Afilisti.”
16 David did as God commanded him; and they attacked the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
Kotero Davide anachita zimene Mulungu anamulamulira ndipo anakantha ankhondo a Afilisti njira yonse kuchokera ku Gibiyoni mpaka ku Gezeri.
17 The fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him on all nations.
Choncho mbiri ya Davide inafalikira dziko lonse, ndipo Yehova anachititsa kuti mayiko ena azimuopa.
