Ii Samuelis 5

1 Et venerunt universae tribus Israel ad David in Hebron, dicentes: Ecce nos, os tuum, et caro tua sumus.

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

2 Sed et heri et nudiustertius cum esset Saul rex super nos, tu eras educens et reducens Israel: dixit autem Dominus ad te: Tu pasces populum meum Israel, et tu eris dux super Israel.

In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. The LORD said to you, 'You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be ruler over Israel.'"

3 Venerunt quoque et seniores Israel ad regem in Hebron, et percussit cum eis rex David foedus in Hebron coram Domino: unxeruntque David in regem super 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 Filius triginta annorum erat David, cum regnare coepisset, et quadraginta annis regnavit.

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

5 In Hebron regnavit super Iudam septem annis et sex mensibus: in Ierusalem autem regnavit triginta tribus annis super omnem Israel et Iudam.

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 Et abiit rex, et omnes viri qui erant cum eo, in Ierusalem, ad Iebusaeum habitatorem terrae: dictumque est David ab eis: Non ingredieris huc, nisi abstuleris caecos et claudos dicentes: Non ingredietur David huc.

Then the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who said to David, "You will not get in here." For the blind and the lame incited them, saying, "David can't get in here."

7 Cepit autem David arcem Sion, haec est civitas David.

Nevertheless, David captured the stronghold of Zion (that is, the City of David).

8 Proposuerat enim David in die illa praemium, qui percussisset Iebusaeum, et tetigisset domatum fistulas, et abstulisset caecos et claudos odientes animam David. idcirco dicitur in proverbio: Caecus et claudus non intrabunt in templum.

David said on that day, "Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him get up to the watercourse, and strike the lame and the blind, those who hate the soul of David." Therefore they say, "The blind and the lame can't come into the palace."

9 Habitavit autem David in arce, et vocavit eam, Civitatem David: et aedificavit per gyrum a Mello et intrinsecus.

David lived in the stronghold, and called it the City of David. And he built a city all around from the Millo and inward.

10 Et ingrediebatur proficiens atque succrescens, et Dominus Deus exercituum erat cum eo.

David grew greater and greater; for the LORD of hosts was with him.

11 Misit quoque Hiram rex Tyri nuncios ad David, et ligna cedrina, et artifices lignorum, artificesque lapidum ad parietes: et aedificaverunt domum David.

Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and craftsmen of wood, and craftsmen of a wall; and they built David a palace.

12 Et cognovit David quoniam confirmasset eum Dominus regem super Israel, et quoniam exaltasset regnum eius super populum suum Israel.

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

13 Accepit ergo David adhuc concubinas et uxores de Ierusalem, postquam venerat de Hebron: natique sunt David et alii filii et filiae:

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

14 et haec nomina eorum, qui nati sunt ei in Ierusalem, Samua, et Sobab, et Nathan, et Salomon,

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

15 et Iebahar, et Elisua, et Nepheg,

and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Eliphelet, and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

16 et Iaphia, et Elisama, et Elioda, et Eliphaleth.

and Elishama, and Baaliada, and Eliphelet.

17 Audierunt ergo Philisthiim quod unxissent David in regem super Israel: et ascenderunt universi ut quaererent David: quod cum audisset David, descendit in praesidium.

When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the stronghold.

18 Philisthiim autem venientes diffusi sunt in Valle Raphaim.

Now the Philistines came and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.

19 et consuluit David Dominum, dicens: Si ascendam ad Philisthiim? et si dabis eos in manu mea? Et dixit Dominus ad David: Ascende, quia tradens dabo Philisthiim in manu tua.

So David inquired of the LORD, asking, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?" Then the LORD answered David, "Go up, for I will certainly deliver them into your hand."

20 Venit ergo David in Baal Pharasim. et percussit eos ibi, et dixit: Divisit Dominus inimicos meos coram me, sicut dividuntur aquae. Propterea vocatum est nomen loci illius, Baal Pharasim.

So David came to Baal Perazim, and he defeated them there, and he said, "The LORD has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of waters." Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.

21 Et reliquerunt ibi sculptilia sua: quae tulit David, et viri eius.

And they abandoned their idols there; and David and his men took them away.

22 Et addiderunt adhuc Philisthiim ut ascenderent, et diffusi sunt in Valle Raphaim.

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

23 Consuluit autem David Dominum: Si ascendam contra Philisthaeos, et tradas eos in manus meas? Qui respondit: Non ascendas contra eos, sed gyra post tergum eorum, et venies ad eos ex adverso pyrorum.

And David inquired of the LORD, and the LORD said to him, "You shall not go up. Circle around behind them, and attack them opposite the poplar trees.

24 Et cum audieris sonitum gradientis in cacumine pyrorum, tunc inibis praelium: quia tunc egredietur Dominus ante faciem tuam, ut percutiat castra Philisthiim.

And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, that then you are to act decisively; for then the LORD has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines."

25 Fecit itaque David sicut praeceperat ei Dominus, et percussit Philisthiim de Gabaa, usque dum venias Gezer.

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