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 Huram king of Tyre sendeth messengers unto David, and cedar-wood, and artificers of walls, and artificers of wood, to build to 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 knoweth that Jehovah hath established him for king over Israel, because of the lifting up on high of his kingdom, for the sake of His people Israel.
3 Dawudi ne yeeyongera okuwasa abakazi abalala mu Yerusaalemi, ne bamuzaalira abaana abalala bangi aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala.
And David taketh again wives in Jerusalem, and David begetteth again 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 hath in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 ne Ibukali, ne Eriswa, ne Erupereti,
and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
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 Eliphalet.
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 the Philistines hear that David hath been anointed for king over all Israel, and all the Philistines go up to seek David, and David heareth, and goeth out before them.
9 Abafirisuuti baali bazze nga bazinze ekiwonvu Lefayimu;
And the Philistines have come, and rush into 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 asketh of God, saying, 'Do I go up against the Philistines — and hast Thou given them into my hand?' And Jehovah saith to him, 'Go up, and I have given 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.
And they go up into Baal-Perazim, and David smiteth them there, and David saith, 'God hath broken up mine enemies by my hand, like the breaking up of waters;' therefore they have 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 leave there their gods, and David speaketh, and they are burnt with fire.
13 Abafirisuuti ne badda, ne bazinda ekiwonvu.
And the Philistines add again, and rush into 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 asketh again of God, and God saith to him, 'Do not go up after them, turn round from them, and thou hast come to them from over-against the mulberries;
15 Awo bw’onoowulira eddoboozi ery’okukumba waggulu mu mitugunda, onootabaala, kubanga ekyo kinaategeeza nti Katonda akukulembedde okuzikiriza eggye ly’Abafirisuuti.”
and it cometh to pass, when thou hearest the sound of the stepping at the heads of the mulberries, then thou goest out into battle, for God hath gone out before thee to smite the camp of the Philistines.'
16 Dawudi n’akola nga Mukama bwe yamulagira, ne bazikiriza eggye ly’Abafirisuuti, okuva e Gibyoni okutuuka e Gezeri.
And David doth as God commanded him, and they smite the camp of the Philistines from Gibeon even unto Gazer;
17 Awo ettutumo lya Dawudi ne libuna ensi zonna, Mukama n’aleetera amawanga gonna okutya Dawudi.
and the name of David goeth out into all the lands, and Jehovah hath put his fear on all the nations.
