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;

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

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.'

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 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.

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

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 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.'

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

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

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.'

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 And David dwelleth in the fortress, and calleth it — City of David, and David buildeth round about, 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 goeth, going on and becoming great, and Jehovah, God of Hosts, [is] with him.

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

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,

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

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

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.

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 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 and Ibhar, 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 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,

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

Abafirisuuti baali bazze nga basaasaanye mu kiwonvu Lefayimu.

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.'

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 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.

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

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

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

Abafirisuuti ne badda, ne basaasaana mu kiwonvu kya Lefayimu.

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,

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

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.'

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

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

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