2 Samuel 5
1 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and spoke, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
Et venerunt universae tribus Israel ad David in Hebron, dicentes: Ecce nos, os tuum, et caro tua sumus.
2 In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led Israel out and in. Yahweh said to you, ‘You will be shepherd of my people Israel, and you will be prince over Israel.’”
Sed et heri et nudiustertius cum esset Saul rex super nos, tu eras educens et reducens Israel: dixit autem Dominus ad te: Tu pasces populum meum Israel, et tu eris dux super Israel.
3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Yahweh; and they anointed David king over Israel.
Venerunt quoque et seniores Israel ad regem in Hebron, et percussit cum eis rex David foedus in Hebron coram Domino: unxeruntque David in regem super Israel.
4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
Filius triginta annorum erat David, cum regnare coepisset, et quadraginta annis regnavit.
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.
In Hebron regnavit super Iudam septem annis et sex mensibus: in Ierusalem autem regnavit triginta tribus annis super omnem Israel et Iudam.
6 The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, “The blind and the lame will keep you out of here,” thinking, “David can’t come in here.”
Et abiit rex, et omnes viri qui erant cum eo, in Ierusalem, ad Iebusaeum habitatorem terrae: dictumque est David ab eis: Non ingredieris huc, nisi abstuleris caecos et claudos dicentes: Non ingredietur David huc.
7 Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. This is David’s city.
Cepit autem David arcem Sion, haec est civitas David.
8 David said on that day, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him go up to the watercourse and strike those lame and blind, who are hated by David’s soul.” Therefore they say, “The blind and the lame can’t come into the house.”
Proposuerat enim David in die illa praemium, qui percussisset Iebusaeum, et tetigisset domatum fistulas, et abstulisset caecos et claudos odientes animam David. idcirco dicitur in proverbio: Caecus et claudus non intrabunt in templum.
9 David lived in the stronghold, and called it David’s city. David built around from Millo and inward.
Habitavit autem David in arce, et vocavit eam, Civitatem David: et aedificavit per gyrum a Mello et intrinsecus.
10 David grew greater and greater, for Yahweh, the God of Armies, was with him.
Et ingrediebatur proficiens atque succrescens, et Dominus Deus exercituum erat cum eo.
11 Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, with cedar trees, carpenters, and masons; and they built David a house.
Misit quoque Hiram rex Tyri nuncios ad David, et ligna cedrina, et artifices lignorum, artificesque lapidum ad parietes: et aedificaverunt domum David.
12 David perceived that Yahweh had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake.
Et cognovit David quoniam confirmasset eum Dominus regem super Israel, et quoniam exaltasset regnum eius super populum suum Israel.
13 David took more concubines and wives for himself out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and more sons and daughters were born to David.
Accepit ergo David adhuc concubinas et uxores de Ierusalem, postquam venerat de Hebron: natique sunt David et alii filii et filiae:
14 These are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
et haec nomina eorum, qui nati sunt ei in Ierusalem, Samua, et Sobab, et Nathan, et Salomon,
15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
et Iebahar, et Elisua, et Nepheg,
16 Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
et Iaphia, et Elisama, et Elioda, et Eliphaleth.
17 When the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David, but David heard about it and went down to the stronghold.
Audierunt ergo Philisthiim quod unxissent David in regem super Israel: et ascenderunt universi ut quaererent David: quod cum audisset David, descendit in praesidium.
18 Now the Philistines had come and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
Philisthiim autem venientes diffusi sunt in Valle Raphaim.
19 David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” Yahweh said to David, “Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
et consuluit David Dominum, dicens: Si ascendam ad Philisthiim? et si dabis eos in manu mea? Et dixit Dominus ad David: Ascende, quia tradens dabo Philisthiim in manu tua.
20 David came to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there. Then he said, “Yahweh has broken my enemies before me, like the breach of waters.” Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
Venit ergo David in Baal Pharasim. et percussit eos ibi, et dixit: Divisit Dominus inimicos meos coram me, sicut dividuntur aquae. Propterea vocatum est nomen loci illius, Baal Pharasim.
21 They left their images there, and David and his men took them away.
Et reliquerunt ibi sculptilia sua: quae tulit David, et viri eius.
22 The Philistines came up yet again and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
Et addiderunt adhuc Philisthiim ut ascenderent, et diffusi sunt in Valle Raphaim.
23 When David inquired of Yahweh, he said, “You shall not go up. Circle around behind them, and attack them in front of the mulberry trees.
Consuluit autem David Dominum: Si ascendam contra Philisthaeos, et tradas eos in manus meas? Qui respondit: Non ascendas contra eos, sed gyra post tergum eorum, et venies ad eos ex adverso pyrorum.
24 When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then stir yourself up; for then Yahweh has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”
Et cum audieris sonitum gradientis in cacumine pyrorum, tunc inibis praelium: quia tunc egredietur Dominus ante faciem tuam, ut percutiat castra Philisthiim.
25 David did so, as Yahweh commanded him, and struck the Philistines all the way from Geba to Gezer.
Fecit itaque David sicut praeceperat ei Dominus, et percussit Philisthiim de Gabaa, usque dum venias Gezer.
