2 Samoela 5
1 Nivotrak’ amy Davide e Kebrone amy zao ze fifokoa’ Israele iaby nanao ty hoe: Oniño te taola’o naho nofo’o zahay.
Then all the tribes of Israel came to David in Hebron and said, Truly, we are your bone and your flesh.
2 Ie omale naho fakomale-bey le nimpanjaka’ay t’i Saole naho ihe ty niaolo vaho nampipoly Israele; le hoe t’Iehovà ama’o, Ho fahana’o ondatiko Israeleo naho ihe ty hifelek’ Israele.
In the past when Saul was king over us, it was you who went at the head of Israel when they went out or came in: and the Lord said to you, You are to be the keeper of my people Israel and their ruler.
3 Aa le niheo mb’ amy mpanjakay e Kebrone mb’eo o roandria’ Israeleo; le nifañina am’ iereo t’i Davide mpanjaka e Kebrone ao añatrefa’ Iehovà; vaho noriza’ iareo ho mpanjaka’ Israele t’i Davide.
So all the responsible men of Israel came to the king at Hebron; and King David made an agreement with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they put the holy oil on David and made him king over Israel.
4 Telopolo taoñe t’i Davide te niorotse nifehe; le nifeleke efapolo taoñe,
David was thirty years old when he became king, and he was king for forty years,
5 nifehe Iehoda e Kebrone ao fito taoñe tsi-enem-bolañe re naho nifeleke Israele naho Iehoda e Ierosalaime ao telopolo taoñe telo’ amby.
Ruling over Judah in Hebron for seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem, over all Israel and Judah, for thirty-three years.
6 Nomb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo i mpanjakay rekets’ ondati’eo, haname o nte Iebosìo, o mpimoneñe amy taneio, ze nanao amy Davide ty hoe: Ndra ty goa naho i kepekey ty hampiamboho azo tsy himoak’ atoy; ie natao’ iereo te tsy hahafizilik’ ao t’i Davide.
And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the people of the land: and they said to David, You will not come in here, but the blind and the feeble-footed will keep you out; for they said, David will not be able to come in here.
7 Fe rinambe’ i Davide ty rova’ i Tsione; i atao rova’ i Davidey.
But David took the strong place of Zion, which is the town of David.
8 Fa hoe t’i Davide amy andro zay: Ia ty mahafandafa o nte-Iebosy am-pionjonañe amy firoroñan-dranoy, ie mongore’e heike ze o kepeke naho goa heje’ ty tro’ i Davide zao—ie atao’ iereo ty hoe: Ndra ty goa naho i kepekey tsy hahafimoaha’e añ’ anjomba atoy.
And that day David said, Whoever makes an attack on the Jebusites, let him go up by the water-pipe, and put to death all the blind and feeble-footed who are hated by David. And this is why they say, The blind and feeble-footed may not come into the house.
9 Nimoneñe amy rovay t’i Davide vaho natao’e ty hoe Rova’ i Davide. Namboatse mb’eo mb’eo boake Milò mb’añate’e ao t’i Davide.
So David took the strong tower for his living-place, naming it the town of David. And David took in hand the building of the town all round, starting from the Millo.
10 Nitoabotse erike t’i Davide amy te nindre ama’e t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i Màroy.
And David became greater and greater; for the Lord, the God of armies, was with him.
11 Aa le nañitrifa’ i Kirame nte-Tsore ìrake t’i Davide naho mendoraveñe naho mpandranjy naho mpamboatse am-bato, le nandranjia’ iereo anjomba t’i Davide.
And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent men to David, with cedar-trees and woodworkers and stoneworkers: and they made David a house.
12 Nioni’ i Davide t’ie noriza’ Iehovà ho mpanjaka’ Israele; naho nonjone’e am’ ondati’e Israeleo ty fifehea’e.
And David saw that the Lord had made his position safe as king over Israel, and that he had made his kingdom great because of his people Israel.
13 Mbe nañenga sakeza naho valy boake Ierosalaime t’i Davide ie fa nivotrake boake Kebrone añe; teo ka te nahasamake ana-dahy naho anak’ ampela t’i Davide.
And David took more women and wives in Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron: and he had more sons and daughters.
14 Zao ty añara’ o nasama’e e Ierosalaimeo: i Samoa naho Sobabe naho Natane naho i Selomò,
These are the names of those whose birth took place in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab and Nathan and Solomon
15 naho Iebkare naho Elisoa naho Nèfege naho Iafià,
And Ibhar and Elishua and Nepheg and Japhia
16 naho i Elisamà naho Eliadà vaho i Elifelete.
And Elishama and Eliada and Eliphelet.
17 Aa ie jinanji’ o nte-Pilistio te norizañe ho mpanjaka’ Israele iaby t’i Davide, le fonga nionjomb’eo o nte-Pilistio hitsoeke i Davide. Ie jinanji’ i Davide, le nigodañe am-pipalirañe fatratse ao.
And when the Philistines had news that David had been made king over Israel, they all went up in search of David; and David, hearing of it, went down to the strong place.
18 Nimb’ am-bavatane’ i Refaime ey ka o nte’ Pilistio vaho nivelatse.
And when the Philistines came, they went in every direction in the valley of Rephaim.
19 Aa le nañontane Iehovà t’i Davide ami’ty hoe: Hionjoñe mb’amo nte-Pilistio hao iraho? Hatolo’o an-tanako hao? Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Davide, Mionjona, fa tsy mete tsy hatoloko am-pità’o o nte-Pilistio.
And David, desiring directions from the Lord, said, Am I to go up against the Philistines? will you give them up into my hands? And the Lord said, Go up, for I will certainly give up the Philistines into your hands.
20 Nimb’e Baale-peratsime mb’eo t’i Davide naho zinama’e iereo vaho nanao ty hoe: Niboroboñak’ amo rafelahikoo t’Iehovà manahake ty fisorotombahan-drano. Aa le natao’e ty hoe Baal-peratsime i toetsey.
And David went to Baal-perazim, and overcame them there; and he said, The Lord has let the forces fighting against me be broken before me as a wall is broken by rushing waters. So that place was named Baal-perazim.
21 Napo’ iareo eo o samposampo’ iareoo le sinodo’ i Davide naho ondati’eo.
And the Philistines, when they went in flight, did not take their images with them, and David and his men took them away.
22 Niheo mb’eo indraike o nte-Pilistio vaho nihanak’ am-bavatane Refaime ey.
And the Philistines came up again, and went in every direction in the valley of Rephaim.
23 Aa ie nañontane Iehovà t’i Davide, le hoe re: Ko mionjomb’eo fa miaria mb’am-boho’ iareo tandrife o sohihio,
And when David went for directions to the Lord, he said, You are not to go up against them in front; but make a circle round them from the back and come on them opposite the spice-trees.
24 aa ie mahajanjiñe ty feom-pangidigidiñañe andigiligi’ o sohihio le mionjona amy te hiaoloa’ Iehovà nahareo handafa i valobohòn-te-Pilistiy.
Then at the sound of footsteps in the tops of the trees, go forward quickly, for the Lord has gone out before you to overcome the army of the Philistines.
25 Aa le nanoe’ i Davide i nandilia’ Iehovày vaho zinevo’e boake Gebà pake Gezere o nte-Pilistìo.
And David did as the Lord had said; and he overcame the Philistines, attacking them from Gibeon to near Gezer.
