1 Cronache 14
1 OR Hiram, re di Tiro, mandò a Davide ambasciadori, e legname di cedro, e muratori, e legnaiuoli, per edificargli una casa.
Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, carpenters, and masons. They built a house for him.
2 E Davide riconobbe che il Signore l'avea stabilito re sopra Israele; perciocchè il suo regno era grandemente innalzato, per amor d'Israele, suo popolo.
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 E Davide prese ancora delle mogli in Gerusalemme, e generò ancora figliuoli e figliuole.
In Jerusalem, David took more wives, and he became the father of more sons and daughters.
4 E questi [sono] i nomi de' [figliuoli] che gli nacquero in Gerusalemme: Sammua, e Sobab, e Natan, e Salomone,
These were the names of the children who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
5 ed Ibhar, ed Elisua, ed Elpelet,
Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
6 e Noga, e Nefeg, e Iafia,
Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
7 ed Elisama, e Beelsada, ed Elifelet.
Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8 Ora, [quando] i Filistei ebbero inteso che Davide era stato unto re sopra tutto Israele, salirono tutti, per cercar Davide. E Davide, avendo [ciò] inteso, uscì loro incontro.
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 Ed i Filistei vennero, e si sparsero per la valle de' Rafei.
Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the Valley of Rephaim.
10 Allora Davide domandò Iddio, dicendo: Salirò io contro a' Filistei? e me li darai tu nelle mani? E il Signore gli disse: Sali, ed io te li darò nelle mani.
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 Essi adunque salirono in Baal-perasim, e Davide li percosse quivi, e disse: Iddio ha rotti per mia mano i miei nemici; a guisa d'una inondazione d'acqua; perciò quel luogo fu chiamato Baal-perasim.
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 Ed [i Filistei] lasciarono quivi i lor dii; e per comandamento di Davide, furono bruciati col fuoco.
The Philistines abandoned their gods there, and David gave an order that they should be burned.
13 Or i Filistei si sparsero un'altra volta per quella valle.
Then the Philistines raided the valley yet again.
14 E Davide domandò di nuovo Iddio. E Iddio gli disse: Non salir dietro a loro; rivolgiti d'incontro a loro, e va' sopra loro dirincontro a' gelsi.
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 E quando tu udirai un calpestio sopra le cime de' gelsi, allora esci fuori in battaglia; perciocchè Iddio sarà uscito davanti a te, per percuotere il campo dei Filistei.
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 E Davide fece come Iddio gli avea comandato; e il campo de' Filstei fu percosso da Gabaon fino a Ghezer.
So David did as God had commanded him. He defeated the army of the Philistines from Gibeon all the way to Gezer.
17 E la fama di Davide si sparse per tutti i paesi; e il Signore mise spavento di lui in tutte le genti.
Then David's fame went out into all lands, and Yahweh caused all nations to fear him.
