1 Chronicles 14
1 Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees, masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.
UHiramu inkosi yeTire wasethuma izithunywa kuDavida, lezigodo zemisedari lababazi bamatshe lababazi bezigodo ukumakhela indlu.
2 David perceived that Yahweh had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted, for his people Israel’s sake.
UDavida wasesazi ukuthi iNkosi yayimmisile ukuthi abe yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli, ngoba umbuso wakhe wawuphakanyiselwe phezulu ngenxa yabantu bayo uIsrayeli.
3 David took more wives in Jerusalem, and David became the father of more sons and daughters.
UDavida wasethatha abanye abafazi eJerusalema; uDavida wasezala amanye amadodana lamadodakazi.
4 These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
Lala ngamabizo abantwana aba labo eJerusalema: OShamuwa, loShobabi, uNathani, loSolomoni,
5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
loIbihari, loElishuwa, loEliphaleti,
6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
loNoga, loNefegi, loJafiya,
7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
loElishama, loBeyeliyada, loElifaleti.
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.
AmaFilisti esezwile ukuthi uDavida ugcotshiwe ukuthi abe yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli wonke, wonke amaFilisti enyuka ukudinga uDavida; uDavida ekuzwa waphuma ukuyamelana lawo.
9 Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.
AmaFilisti asefika azisabalalisa esihotsheni seRefayimi.
10 David inquired of God, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” Yahweh said to him, “Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand.”
UDavida wasebuza kuNkulunkulu esithi: Ngenyukele yini kumaFilisti? Uzawanikela esandleni sami yini? INkosi yasisithi kuye: Yenyuka, ngoba ngizawanikela esandleni sakho.
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.
Basebesenyukela eBhali-Perazimi, uDavida wawatshaya lapho; uDavida wasesithi: UNkulunkulu ufohlele ezitheni zami ngesandla sami njengokufohla kwamanzi. Ngenxa yalokhu babiza leyondawo ngokuthi yiBhali-Perazimi.
12 They left their gods there; and David gave a command, and they were burned with fire.
Asetshiya onkulunkulu bawo lapho, uDavida wasesithi kabatshiswe ngomlilo.
13 The Philistines made another raid in the valley.
AmaFilisti asebuya ezisabalalisa esihotsheni futhi.
14 David inquired 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.
Lapho uDavida ebuza futhi kuNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wathi kuye: Ungenyukeli ngemva kwawo, agombolozele usuka kiwo, uze kuwo maqondana lezihlahla zebhalisamu.
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.”
Kuzakuthi-ke lapho usizwa umsindo wokuhamba ezihlokweni zezihlahla zebhalisamu, ubusuphumela empini, ngoba uNkulunkulu uzabe esephume phambi kwakho ukutshaya ibutho lamaFilisti.
16 David did as God commanded him; and they attacked the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
Ngakho uDavida wenza njengoba uNkulunkulu emlayile; basebetshaya ibutho lamaFilisti kusukela eGibeyoni kwaze kwaba seGezeri.
17 The fame of David went out into all lands; and Yahweh brought the fear of him on all nations.
Njalo ibizo likaDavida laphumela kuwo wonke amazwe; iNkosi yasibeka ukwesabeka kwakhe phezu kwazo zonke izizwe.
