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.
All the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and told him, “We are your flesh and blood.
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.
Previously when Saul was our king, you were the one who led the Israelite army into battle. The Lord told you, ‘You will be the shepherd of my people Israel, and you will be 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.
All the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, where King David made an agreement with them in the Lord's presence. Then they anointed him king of Israel.
4 Telopolo taoñe t’i Davide te niorotse nifehe; le nifeleke efapolo taoñe,
David was thirty when he became king, and he reigned 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.
He reigned over Judah seven years and six months from Hebron, and he reigned over all of Israel and Judah for thirty-three years from Jerusalem.
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.
David the king and his men went to Jerusalem to attack the Jebusites who were living there. The Jebusites told David: “You'll never enter here. Even the blind and lame could stop you.” They were convinced that David could not get in.
7 Fe rinambe’ i Davide ty rova’ i Tsione; i atao rova’ i Davidey.
But David did capture the fortress of Zion, now known as the City 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.
At that time he said, “If we are to successfully conquer the Jebusites we'll have to go up the water shaft to attack these ‘lame and blind’ —these people who hate David. This is why it's said, ‘The blind and the lame will never enter 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.
David went and lived in the fortress, and named it the City of David. He extended it in all directions, starting from the outer supporting terraces and moving inwards.
10 Nitoabotse erike t’i Davide amy te nindre ama’e t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i Màroy.
David became increasingly powerful, for the Lord God Almighty 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.
King Hiram of Tyre sent representatives to David, together with cedar timber, carpenters, and stonemasons, and they built a palace for David.
12 Nioni’ i Davide t’ie noriza’ Iehovà ho mpanjaka’ Israele; naho nonjone’e am’ ondati’e Israeleo ty fifehea’e.
David realized that the Lord had installed him as king of Israel, and had made his kingdom great for the sake 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.
After he moved from Hebron, David added more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, 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 his children born in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
15 naho Iebkare naho Elisoa naho Nèfege naho Iafià,
Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
16 naho i Elisamà naho Eliadà vaho i Elifelete.
Elishama, 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.
When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king of Israel, the whole Philistine army came out to capture him, but David found out and went inside the stronghold.
18 Nimb’ am-bavatane’ i Refaime ey ka o nte’ Pilistio vaho nivelatse.
The Philistines came and spread out across 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.
David asked the Lord “Should I go and attack the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?” “Yes, go,” the Lord replied, “for I will definitely hand them over to you.”
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.
David went to Baal-perazim and he defeated the Philistines there. “Like a flood that bursts out, so the Lord has burst out against my enemies right before me,” David declared. So he named that place Baal-perazim.
21 Napo’ iareo eo o samposampo’ iareoo le sinodo’ i Davide naho ondati’eo.
The Philistines left their idols behind, and David and his men removed them.
22 Niheo mb’eo indraike o nte-Pilistio vaho nihanak’ am-bavatane Refaime ey.
A while later the Philistines came again and spread out across 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,
David asked the Lord what to do. The Lord replied, “Don't attack them directly, but go round behind them and attack them in front of the balsam trees.
24 aa ie mahajanjiñe ty feom-pangidigidiñañe andigiligi’ o sohihio le mionjona amy te hiaoloa’ Iehovà nahareo handafa i valobohòn-te-Pilistiy.
Immediately you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees be ready, because this means the Lord has marched out before you to attack the Philistine camp.”
25 Aa le nanoe’ i Davide i nandilia’ Iehovày vaho zinevo’e boake Gebà pake Gezere o nte-Pilistìo.
David followed the Lord's orders, and he slaughtered the Philistines from Geba all the way to Gezer.
