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 spoke, saying, “Behold, 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 times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led Israel out and in. The LORD said to you, ‘You will be shepherd of my people Israel, and you will be prince 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 to Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and 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, who spoke to David, saying, “The blind and the lame will keep you out of here,” thinking, “David can’t come in here.”
7 Fe rinambe’ i Davide ty rova’ i Tsione; i atao rova’ i Davidey.
Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. This is David’s city.
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.
David said on that day, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him go up to the watercourse and strike those lame and blind, who are hated by David’s soul.” Therefore they say, “The blind and the lame can’t 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.
David lived in the stronghold, and called it David’s city. David built around from Millo and inward.
10 Nitoabotse erike t’i Davide amy te nindre ama’e t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i Màroy.
David grew 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.
Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, with cedar trees, carpenters, and masons; and they built David a house.
12 Nioni’ i Davide t’ie noriza’ Iehovà ho mpanjaka’ Israele; naho nonjone’e am’ ondati’e Israeleo ty fifehea’e.
David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake.
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.
David took more concubines and wives for himself out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and more sons and daughters were born to David.
14 Zao ty añara’ o nasama’e e Ierosalaimeo: i Samoa naho Sobabe naho Natane naho i Selomò,
These are the names of those 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.
When the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David, 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 themselves 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.
David enquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” The LORD said to David, “Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
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 came to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there. Then he said, “The LORD has broken my enemies before me, like the breach of waters.” Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
21 Napo’ iareo eo o samposampo’ iareoo le sinodo’ i Davide naho ondati’eo.
They left their images there, and David and his men took them away.
22 Niheo mb’eo indraike o nte-Pilistio vaho nihanak’ am-bavatane Refaime ey.
The Philistines came up yet again and spread themselves 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,
When David enquired of the LORD, he said, “You shall not go up. Circle around behind them, and attack them in front of the mulberry trees.
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 tops of the mulberry trees, then stir yourself up; for then the LORD has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”
25 Aa le nanoe’ i Davide i nandilia’ Iehovày vaho zinevo’e boake Gebà pake Gezere o nte-Pilistìo.
David did so, as the LORD commanded him, and struck the Philistines all the way from Geba to Gezer.
