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 at Hebron and said, “Look, we are your flesh and bone.
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 recent past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led the Israelite army. Yahweh said to you, 'You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become ruler over Israel.'”
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 elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them before Yahweh. They anointed David king over Israel.
4 Telopolo taoñe t’i Davide te niorotse nifehe; le nifeleke efapolo taoñe,
David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned 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.
In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.
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.
The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land. They said to David, “You will not come here except to be turned away by the blind and the lame. David cannot come here.”
7 Fe rinambe’ i Davide ty rova’ i Tsione; i atao rova’ i Davidey.
Nevertheless, David captured the stronghold of Zion, which now is 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 David said, “Those who attack the Jebusites will have to go through the water shaft to reach the 'lame and the blind' who are David's enemies.” That is why people say, “The 'blind and the lame' must not enter the palace.”
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 lived in the stronghold and called it the city of David. He fortified around it, from the terrace toward the inside.
10 Nitoabotse erike t’i Davide amy te nindre ama’e t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i Màroy.
David became very powerful because Yahweh, the God of hosts, 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.
Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, carpenters, and masons. They built a house for David.
12 Nioni’ i Davide t’ie noriza’ Iehovà ho mpanjaka’ Israele; naho nonjone’e am’ ondati’e Israeleo ty fifehea’e.
David knew that Yahweh had established him as king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom 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 David left Hebron and came to Jerusalem, he took more concubines and wives in Jerusalem, and more sons and daughters were born to him.
14 Zao ty añara’ o nasama’e e Ierosalaimeo: i Samoa naho Sobabe naho Natane naho i Selomò,
These were the names of the children who were born to him 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.
Now when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over Israel, they all went out looking for him. But David heard about it and went down to the stronghold.
18 Nimb’ am-bavatane’ i Refaime ey ka o nte’ Pilistio vaho nivelatse.
Now the Philistines had come and spread out 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.
Then David asked for help from Yahweh. He said, “Should I attack the Philistines? Will you give victory over them?” Yahweh said to David, “Attack, for I will certainly give you victory over the Philistines.”
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.
So David attacked at Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He commented, “Yahweh has burst through my enemies before me like a bursting flood of water.” So the name of that place became Baal Perazim.
21 Napo’ iareo eo o samposampo’ iareoo le sinodo’ i Davide naho ondati’eo.
The Philistines left their idols there, and David and his men carried them away.
22 Niheo mb’eo indraike o nte-Pilistio vaho nihanak’ am-bavatane Refaime ey.
Then the Philistines came up again and spread out once more 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,
So David sought help from Yahweh again, and Yahweh said to him, “You must not attack their front, but rather circle around behind them and come on them through the balsam woods.
24 aa ie mahajanjiñe ty feom-pangidigidiñañe andigiligi’ o sohihio le mionjona amy te hiaoloa’ Iehovà nahareo handafa i valobohòn-te-Pilistiy.
When you hear the sound of marching in the wind blowing through the balsam treetops, then attack with force. Do this because Yahweh will have gone out before you to attack the army of the Philistines.”
25 Aa le nanoe’ i Davide i nandilia’ Iehovày vaho zinevo’e boake Gebà pake Gezere o nte-Pilistìo.
So David did as Yahweh had commanded him. He killed Philistines from Geba all the way to Gezer.
