< 2 Samũeli 5 >

1 Na rĩrĩ, mĩhĩrĩga yothe ya Isiraeli ĩgĩthiĩ kũrĩ Daudi kũu Hebironi ĩkĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũrĩ a mũthiimo waku na thakame yaku.
And all the tribes of Israel come to David to Chebron, and they said to him, Behold, we [are] your bone and your flesh.
2 Ihinda rĩrĩa Saũlũ aarĩ mũthamaki witũ-rĩ, wee nĩwe watongoragia mbũtũ cia Isiraeli igĩthiĩ ita. Nake Jehova agĩkwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Wee nĩũgatuĩka mũrĩithi wa andũ akwa a Isiraeli, na ũtuĩke mwathi wao.’”
And heretofore Saul being king over us, you was he that did lead out and bring in Israel: and the Lord said to you, You shall feed my people Israel, and you shall be for a leader to my people Israel.
3 Rĩrĩa athuuri othe a Isiraeli maathiĩte Hebironi kũrĩ Mũthamaki Daudi, mũthamaki nĩagĩire na kĩrĩkanĩro nao mbere ya Jehova o kũu Hebironi, nao magĩitĩrĩria Daudi maguta mũtwe atuĩke mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
And all the elders of Israel come to the king to Chebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Chebron before the Lord; and they anoint David king over all Israel.
4 Daudi aarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, na agĩthamaka mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna.
David [was] thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
5 Aathamakĩire Juda mĩaka mũgwanja na mĩeri ĩtandatũ arĩ Hebironi, na agĩthamaka Isiraeli guothe mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩtatũ arĩ Jerusalemu.
Seven years and six months he reigned in Chebron over Juda, and thirty-three years he reigned over all Israel and Juda in Jerusalem.
6 Mũthamaki na andũ ake magĩthiĩ Jerusalemu magatharĩkĩre Ajebusi, arĩa matũũraga kuo. Nao Ajebusi makĩĩra Daudi atĩrĩ, “Ndũgũtoonya gũkũ; tondũ andũ arĩa megũkũgirĩrĩria ũtoonye nĩ arĩa atumumu na cionje.” Tondũ meĩraga atĩrĩ, “Daudi ndangĩhota gũtoonya kuo.”
And David and his men, departed to Jerusalem, to the Jebusite that inhabited the land: and it was said to David, You shall not come in hither: for the blind and the lame withstood him, saying, David shall not come in hither.
7 No rĩrĩ, Daudi nĩatunyanire kĩĩhitho kĩa hinya gĩa Zayuni, na nĩkĩo gĩĩtagwo itũũra inene rĩa Daudi.
And David took first the hold of Sion: this [is] the city of David.
8 Mũthenya o ro ũcio Daudi akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ wothe ũngĩtooria Ajebusi no agerire mũtaro-inĩ wa maaĩ nĩguo akinyĩre andũ acio ‘mathuaga na atumumu’ o acio thũ cia Daudi.” Kĩu nĩkĩo gĩtũmaga moige atĩrĩ, “‘Andũ atumumu na arĩa mathuaga’ matigatoonya nyũmba ya ũthamaki.”
And David said on that day, Every one that smites the Jebusite, let him attack with the dagger both the lame and the blind, and those that hate the soul of David. Therefore they say, The lame and the blind shall not enter into the house of the Lord.
9 Nake Daudi agĩtũũra kĩĩhitho-inĩ kĩu kĩa hinya, agĩgĩtua itũũra inene rĩa Daudi. Nake Daudi agĩakĩrĩra itũũra rĩu inene kuuma Milo arĩcooketie na thĩinĩ.
And David lived in the hold, and it was called the city of David, and he built the city itself round about from the citadel, and [he built] his own house.
10 Daudi agĩkĩrĩrĩria kũgĩa na hinya tondũ Jehova Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe aarĩ hamwe nake.
And David advanced and became great, and the Lord Almighty [was] with him.
11 Na rĩrĩ, Hiramu mũthamaki wa Turo agĩtũmĩra Daudi andũ, hamwe na mĩgogo ya mĩtarakwa, na atharamara, na aaki na mahiga, nao magĩakĩra Daudi nyũmba ya ũthamaki.
And Chiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar wood, and carpenters, and stone-masons: and they built a house for David.
12 Nake Daudi akĩmenya atĩ Jehova nĩamũhaandĩte atuĩke mũthamaki wa Isiraeli na agatũũgĩria ũthamaki wake nĩ ũndũ wa andũ ake a Isiraeli.
And David knew that the Lord had prepared him to be king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted for the sake of his people Israel.
13 Aarĩkia kuuma Hebironi, Daudi nĩagĩire na thuriya ingĩ na akĩhikia atumia kũu Jerusalemu, na agĩciarĩrwo aanake na airĩtu angĩ.
And David took again wives and concubines out of Jerusalem, after he came from Chebron: and David had still more sons and daughters born to him.
14 Maya nĩmo marĩĩtwa ma ciana iria aaciarĩire kũu Jerusalemu: Shamua, na Shobabu, na Nathani, na Solomoni,
And these [are] the names of those that were born to him in Jerusalem; Sammus, and Sobab, and Nathan, and Solomon.
15 na Ibiharu, na Elishua, na Nefegu, na Jafia,
And Ebear, and Elisue, and Naphec, and Jephies.
16 na Elishama, na Eliada, na Elifeleti.
And Elisama, and Elidae, and Eliphalath, Samae, Jessibath, Nathan, Galamaan, Jebaar, Theesus, Eliphalat, Naged, Naphec, Janathan, Leasamys, Baalimath, Eliphaath.
17 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Afilisti maaiguire atĩ Daudi nĩaitĩrĩirio maguta agatuĩka mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, makĩambata magĩthiĩ na mbũtũ ciao ciothe makamũcarie, no Daudi aigua ũhoro ũcio agĩikũrũka agĩthiĩ kĩĩhitho-inĩ kĩa hinya.
And the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over Israel; and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the strong hold.
18 Na rĩrĩ, Afilisti nĩmokĩte na makeyaragania gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Refaimu;
And the Philistines came, and assembled in the valley of the giants.
19 nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi agĩtuĩria ũhoro kũrĩ Jehova, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ngatharĩkĩre Afilisti? Nĩũkũmaneana kũrĩ niĩ?” Nake Jehova akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ, nĩgũkorwo ti-itherũ nĩ ngũneana Afilisti kũrĩ we.”
And David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and will you deliver them into my hands? and the Lord said to David, Go up, for I will surely deliver the Philistines into your hands.
20 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi agĩthiĩ Baali-Perazimu, na agĩtooreria Afilisti kuo. Akiuga atĩrĩ, “O ta ũrĩa maaĩ moinaga, noguo Jehova aharaganĩtie thũ ciakwa mbere yakwa.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio handũ hau hagĩĩtwo Baali-Perazimu.
And David came from Upper Breaches, and struck the Philistines there: and David said, The Lord has destroyed the hostile Philistines before me, as water is dispersed; therefore the name of that place was called Over Breaches.
21 Nao Afilisti magĩtiganĩria mĩhianano yao kũu, nake Daudi na andũ ake makĩmĩoya magĩthiĩ nayo.
And they leave there their gods, and David and his men with him took them.
22 Afilisti nĩmambatire o rĩngĩ makĩĩaragania Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Refaimu;
And the Philistines came up yet again, and assembled in the valley of Giants.
23 nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi agĩtuĩria ũhoro harĩ Jehova, nake Jehova akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Tiga kwambata ũthiĩ ũrũngĩrĩirie, no thiũrũrũka ũmoime na thuutha, ũmatharĩkĩre ũmarutĩtie na mbere ya mĩtĩ ya mĩkũngũgũ.
And David enquired of the Lord: and the Lord said, You shall not go up to meet them: turn from them, and you shall meet them near the place of weeping.
24 Rĩrĩa ũrĩigua mũkubio uumĩte igũrũ rĩa mĩtĩ ya mĩkũngũgũ-rĩ, thiĩ narua, tondũ ũguo nĩkuonania atĩ Jehova nĩathiĩte mbere yaku nĩguo ahũũre mbũtũ cia Afilisti.”
And it shall come to pass when you hear the sound of a clashing together from the grove of weeping, then you shall go down to them, for then the Lord shall go forth before you to make havoc in the battle with the Philistines.
25 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi agĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte, akĩhũũra Afilisti amarutĩtie Gibeoni, o nginya Gezeri.
And David did as the Lord commanded him, and struck the Philistines from Gabaon as far as the land of Gazera.
