2 Saamuʼeel 5
1 Gosoonni Israaʼel hundi Kebroonitti Daawit bira dhufanii akkana jedhan; “Nu foonii fi dhiiga kee ti.
Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spoke, saying, Behold us, thy bone and thy flesh are we;
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.”
Already yesterday, and even before, when Saul was king over us, thou wast the one that led out and brought in Israel: And the Lord said to thee, Thou shalt indeed feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a chief over Israel.
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.
Thus came all the elders of Israel to the king unto Hebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they anointed David as king over Israel.
4 Daawit yeroo mootii taʼetti umuriin isaa waggaa soddoma ture; innis waggaa afurtama bulche.
Thirty years was David old when he became king, [and] forty years he reigned.
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 and 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.
And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land; who said unto David, as followeth, Thou shalt not come in hither, except thou [first] remove away the blind and the lame: meaning, David cannot come in hither.
7 Taʼus Daawit daʼannoo Xiyoon Magaalaa Daawit ni qabate.
Nevertheless David captured the strong-hold of Zion; the same 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.
And David said on that day, Whosoever will smite the Jebusites, and reach the aqueduct and the lame and the blind, that are hateful to David's soul, —Wherefore people usually say, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.
9 Daawitis iddoo jireenya isaa daʼannoo sana godhatee Magaalaa Daawit jedhee moggaase. Inni Miiloodhaa jalqabee naannoo ishee marsee ijaare.
And David dwelt in the fort, and he called it “The City of David.” And David built [it] round about from the Millo and inward.
10 Innis sababii Waaqayyo Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu isa wajjin tureef yeruma yeroon jabaachaa dhufe.
And David went on, and became greater and greater, and the Lord the 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.
And Hiram the king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and carpenters, and stone-masons: and they built a house 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 felt conscious that the Lord has established him as king over Israel, and that he 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.
And David took yet more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron; and there were born to David yet [more] sons and daughters.
14 Maqaan ijoollee isaa kanneen achitti isaaf dhalataniis Shamuuʼaa, Shobaab, Naataan, Solomoon,
And these are the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem: Shammua', and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
15 Yibehaar, Eliishuuwaa, Nefeg, Yaafiiyaa,
And Yibchar, and Elishua', and Nepheg, and Yaphia',
16 Eliishaamaa, Eliyaadaa fi Eliiphelexi jedhamu.
And Elishama', and Elyada', 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.
But when the Philistines heard that the people had anointed David as king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David: and David heard of it, and went down to the strong-hold.
18 Yeroo kanatti Filisxeemonni dhufanii Sulula Refaayim keessa faffacaʼan;
The Philistines also came and spread themselves 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.
And David asked counsel of the Lord, saying, shall I go up against the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said unto David, Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into thy 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.
And David came to Ba'al-perazim, and David smote them there, and said, The Lord hath broken down my enemies before me, as a breach [is made by] water. Wherefore he called the name of that place Ba'al-perazim.
21 Filisxeemonni waaqota isaanii tolfamoo achitti dhiisanii baqatan; Daawitii fi namoonni isaa immoo isaan fuudhanii deeman.
And they left behind there their idols, and David and his men burnt them.
22 Filisxeemonni amma illee dhufanii Sulula Refaayim keessa faffacaʼan;
And the Philistines came up once again, and spread themselves 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.
And when David asked counsel of the Lord, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but turn about and fall in the rear of them, and come upon them opposite to the mulberry-trees.
24 Akkuma fiixee muka qilxuu irraan sagalee duulaa dhageesseen dafiitii baʼi; Waaqayyo loltoota Filisxeem dhaʼuudhaaf si dura baʼeera jechuudhaatii.”
And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of walking on the top of the mulberry-trees, that thou shalt then bestir thyself; for then will the Lord go out before thee, to smite in the camp of the Philistines.
25 Kanaafuu Daawit akkuma Waaqayyo isa ajaje sana Gibeʼoon jalqabee hamma Geeziritti Filisxeemota dhaʼe.
And David did so, as the Lord had commanded him; and he smote the Philistines from Geba' until thou comest to Gezer.
