1 Ihe E Mere 14

1 Hiram bụ eze Taịa zitere Devid ndị ozi, na ndị ọkwa ǹka osisi na ndị na-edo nkume, ka ha nyere Devid aka iwu ụlọeze ya. O nyekwara ya osisi sida o ji ewu ụlọ ahụ.

Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.

2 Devid ghọtara na Onyenwe anyị emeela ka o guzosie ike dịka eze ndị Izrel, na ebuliela alaeze ya elu nke ukwuu nʼihi ndị ya Izrel.

And David perceived that the LORD had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel.

3 Devid lụrụ ndị inyom ọzọ mgbe o jere biri na Jerusalem. Nke a mere ka ọ mụọ ọtụtụ ụmụ nwoke na ụmụ nwanyị.

And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters.

4 Ndị a bụkwa aha ụmụ a mụụrụ ya nʼebe ahụ: Shamua, Shobab, Netan, Solomọn,

Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

5 Ibha, Elishua, Elpelet,

And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,

6 Noga, Nefeg, Jafia,

And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

7 Elishama, Beeliada na Elifelet.

And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.

8 Mgbe ndị Filistia nụrụ na eteela Devid mmanụ ị bụ eze ndị Izrel niile, ha pụrụ nʼigwe ha ịchọ ya. Ma Devid nụrụ maka ya, jikere pụọ izute ha.

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 Ma ndị Filistia bịara, bukọrọ ihe niile dị na Ndagwurugwu Refaim.

And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

10 Devid jụrụ Chineke ase sị, “Ọ bụ m gaa buso ndị Filistia agha? Ị ga-enyefe ha nʼaka m?” Onyenwe anyị zara sị ya, “Gaa, aga m enyefe ha nʼaka gị.”

And David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? And will you deliver them into my hand? And the LORD said to him, Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand.

11 Ya mere, Devid na ndị ikom ya gara Baal-Perazim, meriekwa ha nʼebe ahụ. O kwuru sị, “Chineke enupula megide ndị iro m site nʼaka m, dịka idee mmiri si enupu.” Nʼihi ya, a kpọrọ ebe ahụ Baal Perazim.

So they came up to Baalperazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God has broken in on my enemies by my hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baalperazim.

12 Ndị Filistia hapụrụ chi niile ha nʼebe ahụ, Devid nyere iwu ka e suo ha niile ọkụ.

And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.

13 Ndị Filistia bukwara agha bịa na ndagwurugwu ahụ ọzọ.

And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.

14 Nʼihi nke a, Devid jụrụ Chineke ase ọzọ. Chineke sịrị ya, “Esitekwala nʼihu buso ha agha, kama gbaa ha gburugburu, buso ha agha na ncherita ihu osisi balsam ndị ahụ.

Therefore David inquired again of God; and God said to him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come on them over against the mulberry trees.

15 Ngwangwa ị nụrụ ụda ikiri ụkwụ nʼelu osisi balsam ndị ahụ, mgbe ahụ ka unu ga-apụ ibu agha, nʼihi na nke a pụtara na Chineke eburula unu ụzọ pụọ, itigbu ndị agha Filistia.”

And it shall be, when you shall hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then you shall go out to battle: for God is gone forth before you to smite the host of the Philistines.

16 Devid mere dịka Chineke nyere ya nʼiwu. Ha tigburu ndị agha Filistia site na Gibiọn ruo Gaza.

David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.

17 Ya mere, aha Devid bidoro na-ewu ewu; Onyenwe anyị tinyekwara ụjọ ya nʼobi mba niile.

And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him on all nations.
