1 Zvino Hiramu mambo weTire akatuma nhume kuna Dhavhidhi namatanda emisidhari navavaki, navavezi, kuti vamuvakire imba youmambo.
And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.
2 Uye Dhavhidhi akaziva kuti Jehovha akanga amusimbisa samambo pamusoro peIsraeri uye kuti umambo hwake hwakanga hwakudzwa kwazvo nokuda kwavanhu vake Israeri.
And David perceived that Jehovah had established him king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, for his people Israel’s sake.
3 MuJerusarema, Dhavhidhi akazvitorerazve vamwe vakadzi akava baba vavanakomana navanasikana vazhinji.
And David took more wives at Jerusalem; and David begat more sons and daughters.
4 Aya ndiwo mazita avana vaakaberekerwa ikoko: Shamua, Shobhabhi, Natani, Soromoni,
And these are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 Ibhari, Erishua, Eripereti,
and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,
6 Noga, Nefegi, Jafia,
and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8 VaFiristia pavakanzwa kuti Dhavhidhi akanga agadzwa kuti ave mambo weIsraeri, vakaenda nehondo yose kundomutsvaka, asi Dhavhidhi akazvinzwa akabuda kundosangana navo.
And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David: and David heard of it, and went out against them.
9 Zvino vaFiristia vakanga vauya kuzopamba mupata weRefaimi;
Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.
10 saka Dhavhidhi akabvunza kuna Mwari akati, “Ndingaenda here kundorwisa vaFiristia? Mungavaisa mumaoko angu here?” Jehovha akapindura akati, “Enda ndichavaisa mumaoko ako.”
And David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And Jehovah said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thy hand.
11 Saka Dhavhidhi navanhu vake vakakwidza kuBhaari Perazimu uye ikoko akavakunda akati, “Sokupwanya kunoita mvura, Mwari akapwanya vavengi vangu noruoko rwangu.” Saka nzvimbo iyoyo yakatumidzwa kunzi Bhaari Perazimu.
So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said, God hath broken mine enemies by my hand, like the breach of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.
12 VaFiristia vakasiya vamwari vavo ipapo, Dhavhidhi akarayira kuti vapiswe mumoto.
And they left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.
13 VaFiristia vakarwisa zvakare mupata uya.
And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.
14 Saka Dhavhidhi akabvunza Mwari zvakare, Mwari akamupindura akati, “Usangonanga ikoko asi vakomberedze wozovarwisa wava pamberi pemiti yemibharisamu.
And David inquired again of God; and God said unto him, Thou shalt not go up after them: turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry-trees.
15 Pamunotanga kunzwa kutinhira kwokufamba pamisoro yemiti yemibharisamu, unofanira kubuda kundorwa, nokuti zvichange zvichireva kuti Mwari akutungamirira kundoparadza hondo yavaFiristia.”
And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God is gone out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.
16 Saka Dhavhidhi akaita sokurayirwa kwaakanga aitwa naMwari, uye vakaparadza hondo yavaFiristia, kubva kuGibheoni, kusvika kuGezeri.
And David did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
17 Saka mukurumbira waDhavhidhi wakapararira nenyika yose uye Jehovha akaita kuti marudzi ose amutye.
And the fame of David went out into all lands; and Jehovah brought the fear of him upon all nations.
