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.
Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.
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 perceived that the LORD had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was exalted on high, because of his people Israel.
3 Daudi nĩahikirie atumia angĩ arĩ kũu Jerusalemu, nake agĩtuĩka ithe wa aanake na airĩtu angĩ.
And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters.
4 Maya nĩmo marĩĩtwa ma ciana ciake iria ciaciarĩirwo kũu: Shamua, na Shobabu, na Nathani, na Solomoni,
Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 na Ibiharu, na Elishua, na Elipeleti,
And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
6 na Noga, na Nefegu, na Jafia,
And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
7 na Elishama, na Beeliada, na Elifeleti.
And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
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.
And 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;
And the Philistines came and spread themselves 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.”
And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the LORD said to him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thy 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 Baalperazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon my enemies by my hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baalperazim.
12 Afilisti magĩtiganĩria ngai ciao kũu, nake Daudi agĩathana ngai icio icinwo na mwaki.
And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.
13 Afilisti nĩmatharĩkĩire Gĩtuamba kĩu rĩngĩ;
And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad 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.
Therefore David enquired again of God; and God said to him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them in front of the mulberry 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 thou shalt hear a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then thou shalt go out to battle: for God hath gone forth before thee to smite the host 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 therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.
17 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngumo ya Daudi ĩkĩhunja o bũrũri o bũrũri, nake Jehova agĩtũma ndũrĩrĩ ciothe imwĩtigĩre.
And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.
