2 Samuel 5

1 And all the tribes of Israel come unto David, to Hebron, and speak, saying, 'Lo, we [are] thy bone and thy flesh;

Mafuko onse a Israeli anabwera kwa Davide ku Hebroni ndipo anati, “Ife ndife mafupa ndi mnofu wanu.

2 also heretofore, in Saul's being king over us, thou hast been he who is bringing out and bringing in Israel, and Jehovah saith to thee, Thou dost feed My people Israel, and thou art for leader over Israel.'

Kale lija, pamene Sauli anali mfumu yathu, inu ndinu amene munkatsogolera Aisraeli pa nkhondo zawo. Ndipo Yehova anakuwuzani kuti, ‘Udzaweta anthu anga Aisraeli, ndipo udzakhala mfumu yawo.’”

3 And all the elders of Israel come unto the king, to Hebron, and king David maketh with them a covenant in Hebron before Jehovah, and they anoint David for king over Israel.

Akuluakulu onse a Israeli atafika kwa Mfumu Davide ku Hebroni, mfumu inachita nawo pangano ku Hebroni pamaso pa Yehova, ndipo anamudzoza Davide kukhala mfumu ya Israeli.

4 A son of thirty years [is] David in his being king; forty years he hath reigned;

Davide anali ndi zaka makumi atatu pamene anakhala mfumu, ndipo analamulira zaka makumi anayi.

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.

Analamulira Yuda ali ku Hebroni kwa zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri ndi miyezi isanu ndi umodzi, ndipo ali ku Yerusalemu analamulira Israeli yense ndi Yuda kwa zaka 33.

6 And the king goeth, and his men, to Jerusalem, unto the Jebusite, the inhabitant of the land, and they speak to David, saying, 'Thou dost not come in hither, except thou turn aside the blind and the lame;' saying, 'David doth not come in hither.'

Mfumu ndi ankhondo ake anapita ku Yerusalemu kukathira nkhondo Ayebusi amene ankakhala kumeneko. Ayebusiwo anamuwuza Davide kuti, “Inu simulowa muno. Ngakhale osaona ndi olumala akhoza kukuthamangitsani.” Iwo ankaganiza kuti, “Davide sangathe kulowa momwemo.”

7 And David captureth the fortress of Zion, it [is] the city of David.

Komabe Davide analanda linga la Ziyoni, limene ndi mzinda wa Davide.

8 And David saith on that day, 'Any one smiting the Jebusite, (let him go up by the watercourse), and the lame and the blind — the hated of David's soul,' — because the blind and lame say, 'He doth not come into the house.'

Pa tsiku limenelo Davide anati, “Aliyense wogonjetsa Ayebusi ayenera kudzera mʼngalande ya madzi kuti akafike kwa iwo amene ndi ‘olumala ndi osaona,’ amene ndi adani a Davide.” Nʼchifukwa chake amanena kuti, “Olumala ndi osaona sadzalowa mʼnyumba yaufumu.”

9 And David dwelleth in the fortress, and calleth it — City of David, and David buildeth round about, from Millo and inward,

Tsono Davide anakhazikika mu lingamo ndipo mzindawu anawutcha, Mzinda wa Davide. Iye anamanga malo onse ozungulira kuyambira ku matsitso ozungulira khoma.

10 and David goeth, going on and becoming great, and Jehovah, God of Hosts, [is] with him.

Ndipo mphamvu za Davide zinkakulirakulira chifukwa anali ndi Yehova Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse.

11 And Hiram king of Tyre sendeth messengers unto David, and cedar-trees, and artificers of wood, and artificers of stone, for walls, and they build a house for David,

Tsono Hiramu mfumu ya Turo inatumiza amithenga ake kwa Davide, pamodzi ndi mitengo ya mkungudza ndi amisiri a matabwa ndi amisiri a miyala, ndipo anamumangira Davide nyumba yaufumu.

12 and David knoweth that Jehovah hath established him for king over Israel, and that He hath lifted up his kingdom, because of His people Israel.

Choncho Davide anazindikira kuti Yehova wamukhazikitsa kukhala mfumu ya Israeli ndipo wakuza ufumu wake chifukwa cha anthu ake, Aisraeli.

13 And David taketh again concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after his coming from Hebron, and there are born again to David sons and daughters.

Davide atafika ku Yerusalemu kuchokera ku Hebroni, anakwatira azikazi natenganso akazi ena kumeneko, ndipo anabereka ana aamuna ndi aakazi ambiri.

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

Mayina a ana amene anabereka ku Yerusalemu ndi awa: Samua, Sobabu, Natani, Solomoni,

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

Ibihari, Elisua, Nefegi, Yafiya,

16 and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.

Elisama, Eliada ndi Elifeleti.

17 And the Philistines hear that they have anointed David for king over Israel, and all the Philistines come up to seek David, and David heareth, and goeth down unto the fortress,

Afilisti atamva kuti Davide wadzozedwa kukhala mfumu ya Israeli, iwo anapita mwamphamvu kukamusakasaka. Koma Davide atamva zimenezi anakalowa mu linga.

18 and the Philistines have come, and are spread out in the valley of Rephaim.

Ndipo Afilisti anabwera ndi kukhala momwazika mʼChigwa cha Refaimu.

19 And David asketh of Jehovah, saying, 'Do I go up unto the Philistines? dost Thou give them into my hand?' And Jehovah saith unto David, 'Go up, for I certainly give the Philistines into thy hand.'

Davide anafunsa Yehova kuti, “Kodi ndipite kukathira nkhondo Afilisti? Kodi mukawapereka mʼmanja mwanga?” Yehova anamuyankha kuti, “Pita, Ine ndidzawapereka ndithu mʼmanja mwako.”

20 And David cometh in to Baal-Perazim, and David smiteth them there, and saith, 'Jehovah hath broken forth [on] mine enemies before me, as the breaking forth of waters;' therefore he hath called the name of that place Baal-Perazim.

Choncho Davide anapita ku Baala-Perazimu ndi kugonjetsa Afilistiwo. Iye anati, “Monga amasefukira madzi, Yehova waphwanya adani anga ine ndikuona.” Choncho anawatcha malowa Baala Perazimu.

21 And they forsake there their idols, and David and his men lift them up.

Afilisti anasiya mafano awo kumeneko ndipo Davide ndi ankhondo ake anawatenga.

22 And the Philistines add again to come up, and are spread out in the valley of Rephaim,

Nthawi inanso Afilisti anabweranso namwazikana mʼChigwa cha Refaimu;

23 and David asketh of Jehovah, and He saith, 'Thou dost not go up, turn round unto their rear, and thou hast come to them over-against the mulberries,

Davide anafunsa Yehova ndipo Yehovayo anayankha kuti, “Usapite molunjika koma uzungulire kumbuyo kwawo ndipo ukawathire nkhondo patsogolo pa mitengo ya mkandankhuku.

24 and it cometh to pass, in thy hearing the sound of a stepping in the tops of the mulberries, then thou dost move sharply, for then hath Jehovah gone out before thee to smite in the camp of the Philistines.'

Mukakangomva phokoso pa msonga za mitengo ya mkandankhuku, mukayende mofulumira, chifukwa izi zikasonyeza kuti Yehova ali patsogolo panu kukantha ankhondo a Afilisti.”

25 And David doth so, as Jehovah commanded him, and smiteth the Philistines from Geba unto thy coming to Gazer.

Kotero Davide anachita zimene Yehova anamulamulira ndipo anakantha Afilisti njira yonse kuchokera ku Geba mpaka ku Gezeri.
