Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and craftsmen of a wall, and craftsmen of wood, to build him a palace.
2 Nake Daudi nĩamenyire atĩ Jehova nĩamũhaandĩte atuĩke mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, na atĩ ũthamaki wake nĩwatũũgĩrĩtio mũno nĩ ũndũ wa andũ ake a Isiraeli.
And David knew that the LORD had established him king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, for his people Israel's sake.
3 Daudi nĩahikirie atumia angĩ arĩ kũu Jerusalemu, nake agĩtuĩka ithe wa aanake na airĩtu angĩ.
David took more wives at Jerusalem; and David became the father of more sons and daughters.
4 Maya nĩmo marĩĩtwa ma ciana ciake iria ciaciarĩirwo kũu: Shamua, na Shobabu, na Nathani, na Solomoni,
These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Eliphelet,
6 na Noga, na Nefegu, na Jafia,
and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

and Elishama, and Baaliada, and Eliphelet.
8 Na rĩrĩa Afilisti maaiguire atĩ Daudi nĩaitĩrĩirio maguta agatuĩka mũthamaki wa Isiraeli guothe-rĩ, makĩambata, magĩthiĩ na mbũtũ ciao ciothe makamũcarie, nake Daudi aigua ũhoro ũcio akiumagara, agĩthiĩ akahũũrane nao.
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.
9 Na rĩrĩ, Afilisti nĩmookĩte magatharĩkĩra Gĩtuamba kĩa Refaimu;
Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the Valley of Rephaim.
10 nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi agĩtuĩria ũhoro kũrĩ Ngai, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ngatharĩkĩre Afilisti? Nĩũkũmaneana moko-inĩ makwa?” Nake Jehova akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ, nĩngũmaneana moko-inĩ maku.”
David inquired of God, saying, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?" The LORD said to him, "Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand."
11 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi na andũ ake makĩambata, magĩthiĩ nginya Baali-Perazimu, na akĩmatooreria kuo. Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “O ta ũrĩa maaĩ moinaga, noguo Ngai aharaganĩtie thũ ciakwa na guoko gwakwa.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio handũ hau hagĩĩtwo Baali-Perazimu.
So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there; and David said, God has broken through my enemies by my hand, like a breakthrough of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
12 Afilisti magĩtiganĩria ngai ciao kũu, nake Daudi agĩathana ngai icio icinwo na mwaki.
They left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.
13 Afilisti nĩmatharĩkĩire Gĩtuamba kĩu rĩngĩ;
The Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.
14 nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi agĩtuĩria ũhoro harĩ Ngai rĩngĩ, nake Ngai akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Tiga kwambata, no mathiũrũrũkĩrie, na ũmatharĩkĩre ũmarutĩtie na mbere ya mĩtĩ ya mĩkũngũgũ.
And David inquired again of God; and God said to him, "You shall not go up after them. Turn away from them, and come at them opposite the poplar trees.
15 Rĩrĩa ũrĩigua mũkubio uumĩte igũrũ rĩa mĩtĩ ĩyo ya mĩkũngũgũ-rĩ, thiĩ ũkarũe, tondũ ũguo nĩkuonania atĩ Ngai arĩ mbere yaku akĩhũũra ita rĩa Afilisti.”
And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, that then you shall go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines."
16 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi agĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Ngai aamwathĩte, nao makĩhũũra mbũtũ cia Afilisti, o kuuma Gibeoni nginya Gezeri.
David did as God commanded him, and he struck the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
17 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngumo ya Daudi ĩkĩhunja o bũrũri o bũrũri, nake Jehova agĩtũma ndũrĩrĩ ciothe imwĩtigĩre.
The fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him on all nations.
