Luo Samuel 5

1 Na sruf nukewa lun Israel som nu yorol David in acn Hebron ac fahk nu sel, “Kut mwet srahm na pwaye, ac kut ikwa sefanna.

Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and spoke, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

2 In pacl somla ke Saul el srakna tokosra, kom pa kol mwet Israel ke mweun, ac LEUM GOD El wuleot nu sum lah kom ac fah kol mwet lal ac leum faclos.”

In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led Israel out and in. The LORD said to you, ‘You will be shepherd of my people Israel, and you will be prince over Israel.’”

3 Ouinge mwet kol nukewa lun Israel tuku nu yorol David in acn Hebron. El orala sie wulela na ku yorolos, ac elos mosrwella tuh elan tokosra lun Israel.

So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel.

4 David el yac tolngoul ke el mutawauk in tokosra, ac el leum yac angngaul.

David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.

5 El muta Hebron ac leum fin acn Judah yac itkosr tafu, ac el muta Jerusalem ac leum fin Israel ac Judah nufon ke yac tolngoul tolu.

In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.

6 Sie pacl ah Tokosra David ac mwet lal elos akola in mweuni acn Jerusalem. Mwet Jebus su muta we elos nunku mu David el ac tia ku in kutangla siti sac. Ouinge elos fahk nu sel, “Kom ac tiana ku in utyak nu inge. Finne mwet kun, ku mwet ul, elos ku in kosrekomla.”

The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, “The blind and the lame will keep you out of here,” thinking, “David can’t come in here.”

7 (Tusruktu David el sruokyana pot ku lalos Zion, ac mutawauk in pangpang acn sac “Siti sel David.”)

Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. This is David’s city.

8 In len sac David el fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Ku oasr mwet kwase mwet Jebus yohk oana nga, ac nunku mu fal in anwukla elos? Fin oasr, elos in utyak ke laf in kof an, ac onela mwet kun ac mwet ul ingan. (Pa inge sripa se pwanang fwack mu, “Mwet kun ac mwet ul tia ku in utyak nu in lohm sin LEUM GOD.”)

David said on that day, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him go up to the watercourse and strike those lame and blind, who are hated by David’s soul.” Therefore they say, “The blind and the lame can’t come into the house.”

9 Tukun David el sruokya pot ku sac, el muta we ac pangon acn we “Siti sel David.” El musaela sie siti raunela acn sac, mutawauk ke acn se ma koaneyukla layen kutulap in eol soko we.

David lived in the stronghold, and called it David’s city. David built around from Millo and inward.

10 Pacl nukewa el kapkapak ac kui mweyen LEUM GOD Kulana El welul.

David grew greater and greater, for the LORD, the God of Hosts, was with him.

11 Tokosra Hiram lun acn Tyre el supwala un mwet orekma nu yorol David. El sang sak cedar wi mwet musa ac mwet tufahl eot, in musai sie lohm sin tokosra.

Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, with cedar trees, carpenters, and masons; and they built David a house.

12 Ouinge David el akilen lah LEUM GOD El oakilya elan tokosra lun Israel, ac oru tuh tokosrai lal in kapkapak ke sripen Israel, mwet lal.

David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake.

13 Tukun David el som liki acn Hebron nu Jerusalem, el sifilpa srukak kutu mutan kulansap kial ac oayapa mutan kial, na puseni wen natul ac acn natul.

David took more concubines and wives for himself out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and more sons and daughters were born to David.

14 Tulik inge isusla nu sel in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

These are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,

Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,

16 Elishama, Eliada, ac Eliphelet.

Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.

17 Mwet Philistia elos lohngak lah David el tokosrala lun Israel, na mwet mweun lalos illa in som sruokilya. Ke David el lohngak, el tufokla nu ke sie acn kuhlusyuki.

When the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David, but David heard about it and went down to the stronghold.

18 Mwet Philistia elos utyak nu Infahlfal Rephaim ac muta we.

Now the Philistines had come and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

19 David el siyuk sin LEUM GOD, “Ku nga ac mweuni mwet Philistia? Kom ac se kutangla nu sik?” LEUM GOD El fahk, “Aok, mweunelos! Nga ac sot kutangla nu sum!”

David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” The LORD said to David, “Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into your hand.”

20 Ouinge David el som nu Baal Perazim ac el kutangla mwet Philistia in acn we. Ac el fahk, “LEUM GOD El kunauselik mwet lokoalok luk oana sronot se.” Ouinge acn sac pangpang Baal Perazim.

David came to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there. Then he said, “The LORD has broken my enemies before me, like the breach of waters.” Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.

21 Ke mwet Philistia kaingla, elos sisla god lalos som, na David ac mwet lal srukak ac usla ma inge.

They left their images there, and David and his men took them away.

22 Na mwet Philistia elos folokla nu Infahlfal Rephaim ac sifilpa muta we.

The Philistines came up yet again and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

23 David el sifil lolngok yurin LEUM GOD, ac LEUM GOD El topuk ac fahk, “Nimet ut insacn ke kom ac mweunelos. Fahla nu layen laco ac akola in mweunelos apkuran nu ke acn sak balsam oan we.

When David inquired of the LORD, he said, “You shall not go up. Circle around behind them, and attack them in front of the mulberry trees.

24 Ke pacl se kom lohng pusren un mwet fahsr insroan sak uh, na kom tuyak mweun, mweyen nga ac fahsr meet liki kowos in kutangla un mwet mweun Philistia.”

When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then stir yourself up; for then the LORD has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”

25 David el oru oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin, pwanang el tuh ukwauk mwet Philistia liki acn Geba nwe ke sun acn Gezer.

David did so, as the LORD commanded him, and struck the Philistines all the way from Geba to Gezer.
