1 Azɔ la, Hiram, Tiro fia dɔ dɔlawo ɖo ɖe David. Etsɔ sedatiwo, gliɖolawo kple atikpalawo kpe ɖe wo ŋuti be woatu fiasã nɛ.
And Churam the king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and trees of cedars, and masons and carpenters, to build him a house.
2 Azɔ David nya nu si ta Mawu ɖoe fiae na Israel eye wòna eƒe fiaɖuƒe keke ta. Nu tɔxɛ aɖe tae, eyae nye be wòado dzidzɔ na Mawu ƒe amewo.
And David felt conscious that the Lord had established him as king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, because of his people Israel.
3 Esi David ʋu yi Yerusalem la, egaɖe srɔ̃ aɖewo eye wòdzi viŋutsu kple vinyɔnu geɖewo.
And David took yet more wives at Jerusalem; and David begat more sons and daughters.
4 Vi siwo wodzi na Fia David le Yerusalem la ƒe ŋkɔwoe nye: Samua, Sobab, Natan, Solomo,
And these are the names of the children that he had in Jerusalem: Shammua', and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 Ibhar, Elisua, Elpelet,
And Yibchar, and Elishua', and Elpalet,
6 Noga, Nefeg, Yafia,
And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Yaphia',
7 Elisama, Beeliada kple Elifelet.
And Elishama', and Be'elyada', and Eliphalet.
8 Esi Filistitɔwo se be David zu Israel fia yeyea la, woƒo ƒu aʋakɔ aɖe nu be yewoayi aɖalée. Ke David se be wogbɔna la, eho yi wo kpe ge.
But when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David: and David heard of it, and went out against them.
9 Filistitɔwo nɔ nuwo ham le Refaim balime.
And the Philistines came and spread themselves out in the valley of Rephaim.
10 David bia Mawu be, “Mayi aɖawɔ aʋa kpli woa? Ɖe nàtsɔ wo ade asi nama?” Yehowa ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ɛ̃, yi, matsɔ wo ade asi na wò.”
And David asked counsel of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said unto him, Go up; and I will deliver them into thy hand.
11 Ale David kple eƒe aʋakɔ la yi ɖadze Filistitɔwo dzi le Baal Perazim eye wòtsrɔ̃ wo. Egblɔ be, “Mawu to dzinye kplɔ nye futɔwo dzoe abe ale si tsi ŋɔna tso tsixaɖoƒe ene!” Esia ta wòna ŋkɔ teƒe la tso ɣe ma ɣi be, “Baal Perazim” si gɔmee nye, “Aƒetɔ si gba go.”
And they came up to Ba'al-perazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken down my enemies through my hand as a breach [is made] by water: therefore they called the name of that place Ba'al-perazim.
12 Le aʋakpekpe sia megbe la, Filistitɔwo gblẽ woƒe legbawo ɖe anyi, ke David ɖe gbe eye wotɔ dzo wo katã.
And they left behind there their gods, and David gave the order, and they were burnt with fire.
13 Emegbe la, Filistitɔwo gava kaka ɖe balime la me.
And the Philistines [came] once again, and spread themselves out in the valley.
14 David gabia nu si wòawɔ la Mawu eye Mawu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Mègaho dze wo yome me o, ke boŋ trɔ ɖa le wo ŋu eye nàva tu wo le balsamtiawo gbɔ.
And David asked again counsel of God; and God said unto him, Thou shalt not go up after them: turn about from them, and come upon them opposite the mulberry-trees,
15 Ne èse gbeɖiɖi aɖe le atiawo tame abe asrafowoe le azɔli zɔm ene la, ekema nàdze wo dzi elabena esia afia be, Mawu dze ŋgɔ na wò be nàtsrɔ̃ Filistitɔwo ƒe aʋakɔwo.”
And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of walking on the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God will be gone forth before thee to smite the camp of the Philistines.
16 Ale David wɔ nu si Mawu ɖo nɛ eye wòsi Filistitɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ la tso keke Gibeon va se ɖe Gezer.
And David did as God had commanded him; and they smote the camp of the Philistines from Gib'on as far as Gezer.
17 David ƒe ŋkɔ de dzi le afi sia afi eye Yehowa na be dukɔwo katã navɔ̃e.
And the fame of David went out into all the lands; and the Lord laid the dread of him upon all the nations.
