1 Ebyomumirembe 14
1 Kabaka Kiramu ow’e Ttuulo n’atuma ababaka ne batwala emivule, ne bagenda n’abazimbi b’amayinja, n’ababazzi eri Dawudi okumuzimbira olubiri.
And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build for him a house.
2 Awo Dawudi n’ategeera nga Mukama amunywezezza okuba kabaka wa Isirayiri, era nga n’obwakabaka bwe bwagulumizibwa nnyo olw’abantu ba Mukama Isirayiri.
And David perceived that Jehovah had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was exalted on high for his people Israel's sake.
3 Dawudi ne yeeyongera okuwasa abakazi abalala mu Yerusaalemi, ne bamuzaalira abaana abalala bangi aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala.
And David took more wives at Jerusalem, and David begot more sons and daughters.
4 Amannya g’abaana abaamuzaalirwa ge gaano: Sammuwa, ne Sobabu, ne Nasani, ne Sulemaani,
And these are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 ne Ibukali, ne Eriswa, ne Erupereti,
and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,
6 ne Noga, ne Nefegi, ne Yafiya,
and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
7 ne Erisaama, ne Beeriyadda, ne Erifereti.
and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8 Awo Abafirisuuti bwe baawulira nti Dawudi yafukibwako amafuta okuba kabaka wa Isirayiri yenna, ne bambuka okugenda okumunoonya, naye Dawudi n’akiwulirako era n’agenda okubatabaala.
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 Abafirisuuti baali bazze nga bazinze ekiwonvu Lefayimu;
Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.
10 Dawudi ne yeebuuza ku Mukama nti, “Ŋŋende ntabaale Abafirisuuti? Onoobagabula mu mukono gwange?” Mukama n’amuddamu nti, “Genda, kubanga nnaabagabula mu mukono gwo.”
And David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? And will thou deliver them into my hand? And Jehovah said to him, Go up, for I will deliver them into thy hand.
11 Awo Dawudi n’ayambuka ne basajja be e Baaluperazimu, n’atabaala Abafirisuuti n’abawangula. N’ayogera nti, “Katonda awangudde abalabe bange n’omukono gwe, ng’amazzi bwe gawaguza.” Era ekifo ekyo kyekyava kituumibwa Baaluperazimu.
So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there. And David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand like the breach of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.
12 Abafirisuuti baali balese awo balubaale baabwe be beekolera, Dawudi n’alagira okwokya balubaale abo.
And they left their gods there. And David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.
13 Abafirisuuti ne badda, ne bazinda ekiwonvu.
And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.
14 Awo Dawudi n’addamu ne yeebuuza ku Mukama, Mukama n’amuddamu nti, “Tobatabaalirawo, naye beetooloole, obalumbe ng’obafuluma mu maaso g’emitugunda.
And David inquired again of God. And God said to him, Thou shall not go up after them. Turn away from them, and come upon them opposite the mulberry trees.
15 Awo bw’onoowulira eddoboozi ery’okukumba waggulu mu mitugunda, onootabaala, kubanga ekyo kinaategeeza nti Katonda akukulembedde okuzikiriza eggye ly’Abafirisuuti.”
And it shall be, when thou hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shall go out to battle. For God has gone out before thee to smite the army of the Philistines.
16 Dawudi n’akola nga Mukama bwe yamulagira, ne bazikiriza eggye ly’Abafirisuuti, okuva e Gibyoni okutuuka e Gezeri.
And David did as God commanded him, and they smote the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
17 Awo ettutumo lya Dawudi ne libuna ensi zonna, Mukama n’aleetera amawanga gonna okutya Dawudi.
And the fame of David went out into all lands. And Jehovah brought the fear of him upon all nations.
