2 Saamuʼeel 5
1 Gosoonni Israaʼel hundi Kebroonitti Daawit bira dhufanii akkana jedhan; “Nu foonii fi dhiiga kee ti.
Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “Here we are, your own flesh and blood.
2 Duraan yeroo Saaʼol mootii keenya turetti, namni duula loltoota Israaʼel hoogganu siʼi ture. Waaqayyos, ‘Situ saba koo Israaʼelin tiksa; bulchaa isaaniis ni taata’ siin jedhee ture.”
Even in times past, while Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them back. And to you the LORD said, ‘You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be ruler over them.’”
3 Yommuu maanguddoonni Israaʼel hundi Kebroonitti Daawit mooticha bira dhufanitti mootichi Kebroonitti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti isaan wajjin kakuu gale; isaanis Daawitin dibanii Israaʼel irratti mootii isa godhan.
So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, where King David made with them a covenant before the LORD. And they anointed him king over Israel.
4 Daawit yeroo mootii taʼetti umuriin isaa waggaa soddoma ture; innis waggaa afurtama bulche.
David was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years.
5 Kebroon keessatti waggaa torbaa fi jiʼa jaʼa Yihuudaa irratti mootii ture; Yerusaalem keessatti immoo waggaa soddomii sadii guutummaa Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaa irratti mootii taʼe.
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 Mootichii fi namoonni isaa Yebuusota achi jiraatan loluuf gara Yerusaalemitti ni qajeelan. Yebuusonnis Daawitiin, “Ati as hin seentu; jaamaa fi naafni iyyuu of irraa si deebisu” jedhan. Isaan, “Daawit as seenuu hin dandaʼu” jedhanii yaadan.
Now the king and his men marched to Jerusalem against the Jebusites who inhabited the land. The Jebusites said to David: “You will never get in here. Even the blind and lame can repel you.” For they thought, “David cannot get in here.”
7 Taʼus Daawit daʼannoo Xiyoon Magaalaa Daawit ni qabate.
Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion (that is, the City of David).
8 Daawitis gaafas, “Namni Yebuusota dhaʼuuf baʼu kam iyyuu, ‘naafotaa fi jaamota’ lubbuu Daawitiin jibbaman bira gaʼuuf karaa boʼoo bishaaniitiin darbuu qaba” jedhe. Sababiin isaan, “‘Jaamonnii fi naafonni’ masaraa mootii hin seenan” jedhaniif kanuma.
On that day he said, “Whoever attacks the Jebusites must use the water shaft to reach the lame and blind who are despised by David.” That is why it is said, “The blind and the lame will never enter the palace.”
9 Daawitis iddoo jireenya isaa daʼannoo sana godhatee Magaalaa Daawit jedhee moggaase. Inni Miiloodhaa jalqabee naannoo ishee marsee ijaare.
So David took up residence in the fortress and called it the City of David. He built it up all the way around, from the supporting terraces inward.
10 Innis sababii Waaqayyo Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu isa wajjin tureef yeruma yeroon jabaachaa dhufe.
And David became greater and greater, for the LORD God of Hosts was with him.
11 Yeroo kanatti Hiiraam mootiin Xiiroos ergamoota wajjin muka birbirsaa, namoota muka soofanii fi warra dhagaa soofan gara Daawit erge; isaanis Daawitiif masaraa ijaaran.
Now Hiram king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs, carpenters, and stonemasons, and they built a palace for David.
12 Daawitis akka Waaqayyo saba Israaʼel irratti mootii godhee jabeessee isa dhaabee fi akka saba Israaʼeliif jedhee mootummaa isaa guddiseef ni beeke.
And David realized that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.
13 Daawitis erga Kebroonii baʼee booddee saajjatoowwanii fi niitota biraa Yerusaalem keessatti fuudhe; ilmaanii fi intallan dabalataa dhalataniif.
After he had arrived from Hebron, David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, and more sons and daughters were born to him.
14 Maqaan ijoollee isaa kanneen achitti isaaf dhalataniis Shamuuʼaa, Shobaab, Naataan, Solomoon,
These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
15 Yibehaar, Eliishuuwaa, Nefeg, Yaafiiyaa,
Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
16 Eliishaamaa, Eliyaadaa fi Eliiphelexi jedhamu.
Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
17 Filisxeemonni yommuu akka Daawit dibamee Israaʼel irratti mootii taʼe dhagaʼanitti, humna guutuudhaan isa barbaacha ol baʼan; Daawit garuu waan kana dhagaʼee gara daʼannoo jabaatti gad buʼe.
When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, they all went in search of him; but David learned of this and went down to the stronghold.
18 Yeroo kanatti Filisxeemonni dhufanii Sulula Refaayim keessa faffacaʼan;
Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
19 kanaafuu Daawit, “Ani baʼee Filisxeemota dhaʼuu? Ati dabarsitee harka kootti isaan kennitaa?” jedhee Waaqayyoon gaafate. Waaqayyos, “Baʼi; ani dhugumaan Filisxeemota dabarsee harka keetti nan kennaatii” jedhee deebiseef.
So David inquired of the LORD, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” “Go,” replied the LORD, “for I will surely deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
20 Kanaafuu Daawit gara Baʼaal Pheraaziim dhaqe; achittis isaan moʼate. Innis, “Akkuma bishaan mana isaa cabsee yaaʼu sana Waaqayyo fuula koo duratti diinota koo cabsee baʼeera” jedhe. Kanaafuu iddoon sun Baʼaal Pheraaziim jedhamee waamame.
So David went to Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a bursting flood, the LORD has burst out against my enemies before me.” So he called that place Baal-perazim.
21 Filisxeemonni waaqota isaanii tolfamoo achitti dhiisanii baqatan; Daawitii fi namoonni isaa immoo isaan fuudhanii deeman.
There the Philistines abandoned their idols, and David and his men carried them away.
22 Filisxeemonni amma illee dhufanii Sulula Refaayim keessa faffacaʼan;
Once again the Philistines came up and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
23 kanaafuu Daawit Waaqayyoon gaafate; Waaqayyos akkana jedheen; “Kallattiidhaan itti hin baʼin; garuu duubaan isaan marsiitii muka qilxuu duratti isaan waraani.
So David inquired of the LORD, who answered, “Do not march straight up, but circle around behind them and attack them in front of the balsam trees.
24 Akkuma fiixee muka qilxuu irraan sagalee duulaa dhageesseen dafiitii baʼi; Waaqayyo loltoota Filisxeem dhaʼuudhaaf si dura baʼeera jechuudhaatii.”
As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move quickly, because this will mean that the LORD has marched out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”
25 Kanaafuu Daawit akkuma Waaqayyo isa ajaje sana Gibeʼoon jalqabee hamma Geeziritti Filisxeemota dhaʼe.
So David did as the LORD had commanded him, and he struck down the Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.
