1 Maũndũ 14
1 Na rĩrĩ, Hiramu mũthamaki wa Turo, nĩatũmĩire Daudi andũ, marĩ na mĩgogo ya mĩtarakwa, na aaki a mahiga na a mbaũ, nĩguo mamwakĩre nyũmba ya ũthamaki.
Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, carpenters, and masons. They built a house for him.
2 Nake Daudi nĩamenyire atĩ Jehova nĩamũhaandĩte atuĩke mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, na atĩ ũthamaki wake nĩwatũũgĩrĩtio mũno nĩ ũndũ wa andũ ake a Isiraeli.
David knew that Yahweh had established him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted on high for the sake of his people Israel.
3 Daudi nĩahikirie atumia angĩ arĩ kũu Jerusalemu, nake agĩtuĩka ithe wa aanake na airĩtu angĩ.
In Jerusalem, David took more wives, and he 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 were the names of the children who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
5 na Ibiharu, na Elishua, na Elipeleti,
Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
6 na Noga, na Nefegu, na Jafia,
Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
7 na Elishama, na Beeliada, na Elifeleti.
Elishama, Beeliada, 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.
Now when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Israel, they all went out looking for him. But David heard about 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.”
Then David asked for help from God. He said, “Should I attack the Philistines? Will you give victory over them?” Yahweh said to him, “Attack, for I will certainly give them to you.”
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 there he defeated them. He commented, “God has burst through my enemies by my hand like a bursting flood of water.” So the name of that place became Baal Perazim.
12 Afilisti magĩtiganĩria ngai ciao kũu, nake Daudi agĩathana ngai icio icinwo na mwaki.
The Philistines abandoned their gods there, and David gave an order that they should be burned.
13 Afilisti nĩmatharĩkĩire Gĩtuamba kĩu rĩngĩ;
Then the Philistines raided the valley yet again.
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.
So David asked for help from God again. God said to him, “You must not attack their front, but rather circle around behind them and come on them through the balsam woods.
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.”
When you hear the sound of marching in the wind blowing through the balsam treetops, then attack with force. Do this because God will have gone out before you to attack 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.
So David did as God had commanded him. He defeated the army of the Philistines from Gibeon all the way to Gezer.
17 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngumo ya Daudi ĩkĩhunja o bũrũri o bũrũri, nake Jehova agĩtũma ndũrĩrĩ ciothe imwĩtigĩre.
Then David's fame went out into all lands, and Yahweh caused all nations to fear him.
