Ii Samuelis 5
1 et venerunt universae tribus Israhel ad David in Hebron dicentes ecce nos os tuum et caro tua sumus
Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spoke, saying, Behold us, thy bone and thy flesh are we;
2 sed et heri et nudius tertius cum esset Saul rex super nos tu eras educens et reducens Israhel dixit autem Dominus ad te tu pasces populum meum Israhel et tu eris dux super Israhel
Already yesterday, and even before, when Saul was king over us, thou wast the one that led out and brought in Israel: And the Lord said to thee, Thou shalt indeed feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a chief over Israel.
3 venerunt quoque et senes de Israhel ad regem in Hebron et percussit cum eis rex David foedus in Hebron coram Domino unxeruntque David in regem super Israhel
Thus came all the elders of Israel to the king unto Hebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they anointed David as king over Israel.
4 filius triginta annorum erat David cum regnare coepisset et quadraginta annis regnavit
Thirty years was David old when he became king, [and] forty years he reigned.
5 in Hebron regnavit super Iudam septem annis et sex mensibus in Hierusalem autem regnavit triginta tribus annis super omnem Israhel et Iudam
In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah.
6 et abiit rex et omnes viri qui erant cum eo in Hierusalem ad Iebuseum habitatorem terrae dictumque est ad David ab eis non ingredieris huc nisi abstuleris caecos et claudos dicentes non ingredietur David huc
And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land; who said unto David, as followeth, Thou shalt not come in hither, except thou [first] remove away the blind and the lame: meaning, David cannot come in hither.
7 cepit autem David arcem Sion haec est civitas David
Nevertheless David captured the strong-hold of Zion; the same is the city of David.
8 proposuerat enim in die illa praemium qui percussisset Iebuseum et tetigisset domatum fistulas et claudos et caecos odientes animam David idcirco dicitur in proverbio caecus et claudus non intrabunt templum
And David said on that day, Whosoever will smite the Jebusites, and reach the aqueduct and the lame and the blind, that are hateful to David's soul, —Wherefore people usually say, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.
9 habitavit autem David in arce et vocavit eam civitatem David et aedificavit per gyrum a Mello et intrinsecus
And David dwelt in the fort, and he called it “The City of David.” And David built [it] round about from the Millo and inward.
10 et ingrediebatur proficiens atque succrescens et Dominus Deus exercituum erat cum eo
And David went on, and became greater and greater, and the Lord the God of hosts was with him.
11 misit quoque Hiram rex Tyri nuntios ad David et ligna cedrina et artifices lignorum artificesque lapidum ad parietes et aedificaverunt domum David
And Hiram the king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and carpenters, and stone-masons: and they built a house for David.
12 et cognovit David quoniam confirmasset eum Dominus regem super Israhel et quoniam exaltasset regnum eius super populum suum Israhel
And David felt conscious that the Lord has established him as king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.
13 accepit ergo adhuc concubinas et uxores de Hierusalem postquam venerat de Hebron natique sunt David et alii filii et filiae
And David took yet more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron; and there were born to David yet [more] sons and daughters.
14 et haec nomina eorum qui nati sunt ei in Hierusalem Samua et Sobab et Nathan et Salomon
And these are the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem: Shammua', and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
15 et Ibaar et Helisua et Nepheg
And Yibchar, and Elishua', and Nepheg, and Yaphia',
16 et Iafia et Helisama et Helida et Helifeleth
And Elishama', and Elyada', and Eliphelet.
17 audierunt vero Philisthim quod unxissent David regem super Israhel et ascenderunt universi ut quaererent David quod cum audisset David descendit in praesidium
But when the Philistines heard that the people had anointed David as king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David: and David heard of it, and went down to the strong-hold.
18 Philisthim autem venientes diffusi sunt in valle Raphaim
The Philistines also came and spread themselves out in the valley of Rephaim.
19 et consuluit David Dominum dicens si ascendam ad Philisthim et si dabis eos in manu mea et dixit Dominus ad David ascende quia tradens dabo Philisthim in manu tua
And David asked counsel of the Lord, saying, shall I go up against the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said unto David, Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into thy hand.
20 venit ergo David in Baalpharasim et percussit eos ibi et dixit divisit Dominus inimicos meos coram me sicut dividuntur aquae propterea vocatum est nomen loci illius Baalpharasim
And David came to Ba'al-perazim, and David smote them there, and said, The Lord hath broken down my enemies before me, as a breach [is made by] water. Wherefore he called the name of that place Ba'al-perazim.
21 et reliquerunt ibi sculptilia sua quae tulit David et viri eius
And they left behind there their idols, and David and his men burnt them.
22 et addiderunt adhuc Philisthim ut ascenderent et diffusi sunt in valle Raphaim
And the Philistines came up once again, and spread themselves out in the valley of Rephaim.
23 consuluit autem David Dominum qui respondit non ascendas sed gyra post tergum eorum et venies ad eos ex adverso pirorum
And when David asked counsel of the Lord, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but turn about and fall in the rear of them, and come upon them opposite to the mulberry-trees.
24 et cum audieris sonitum gradientis in cacumine pirorum tunc inibis proelium quia tunc egredietur Dominus ante faciem tuam ut percutiat castra Philisthim
And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of walking on the top of the mulberry-trees, that thou shalt then bestir thyself; for then will the Lord go out before thee, to smite in the camp of the Philistines.
25 fecit itaque David sicut ei praeceperat Dominus et percussit Philisthim de Gabee usque dum venias Gezer
And David did so, as the Lord had commanded him; and he smote the Philistines from Geba' until thou comest to Gezer.
