1 Kisha Hiramu mfalme wa Tire alituma wajumbe kwa Daudi, na miti ya mierezi, maseremala, na wajenzi. Walijenga nyumba kwa ajili yake.
And Huram king of Tyre sendeth messengers unto David, and cedar-wood, and artificers of walls, and artificers of wood, to build to him a house.
2 Daudi alijua kuwa Yahweh alimfanya kuwa mfalme juu ya Waisraeli, na hivyo ufalme wake ulitukuzwa juu sana kwa ajili ya watu wa Israeli
And David knoweth that Jehovah hath established him for king over Israel, because of the lifting up on high of his kingdom, for the sake of His people Israel.
3 Ndani ya Yerusalemu, Daudi aliongeza wake, na akawa baba wa wana wengi na mabinti.
And David taketh again wives in Jerusalem, and David begetteth again sons and daughters;
4 Haya yalikuwa majina ya watoto waliozaliwa nae huko yerusalemu: Shammua, Shobabu, nathani, Solimoni,
and these [are] the names of the children whom he hath in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 Ibhari, Elishama, Elpeleti,
and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
6 Noga, Nefegi, Jafia,
and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
7 Elishama, Beliada, na Elifeleti.
and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
8 Sasa tangu Wafilisti waliposikia Daudi amepakwa mafuta kama mfalme juu ya Waisraeli, wote walitoka nje kwenda kumtafuta. Lakini Daudi alisikia kuhusu hilo nae akaenda nje kinyume nao.
And the Philistines hear that David hath been anointed for king over all Israel, and all the Philistines go up to seek David, and David heareth, and goeth out before them.
9 Sasa wafilisti walikuja na kufanya shambulio katika bonde la Refaimu.
And the Philistines have come, and rush into the valley of Rephaim,
10 Kisha Daudi akaomba msaada kwa Mungu. Akasema, “Je niwashambulie Wafilisti? Utanipa ushindi juu yao?” Yahweh akamwambia, “Shambulia, kwa uhakika nitawakabidhi kwako.”
and David asketh of God, saying, 'Do I go up against the Philistines — and hast Thou given them into my hand?' And Jehovah saith to him, 'Go up, and I have given them into thy hand.'
11 Kwa hivyo wakaja Baali Perazimu na akawashinda. Akasema, “Yahweh kapasua maadui zangu kwa mkono wangu kama vile mpasuko wa mafuriko ya maji.” Hivyo jina la sehemu ile likawa Baali Perazimu.
And they go up into Baal-Perazim, and David smiteth them there, and David saith, 'God hath broken up mine enemies by my hand, like the breaking up of waters;' therefore they have called the name of that place Baal-Perazim.
12 Wafilisti walitelekeza miungu yao pale, na Daudi akatoa amri wateketezwe kwa moto.
And they leave there their gods, and David speaketh, and they are burnt with fire.
13 Kisha Wafilisti wakavamia kwa mara nyingine tena.
And the Philistines add again, and rush into the valley,
14 Hivyo Daudi akaomba msaada kwa Mungu tena. Mungu akamwambia, “Usiwashambulie kwa mbele, lakini wazunguke kwa nyuma yao na uwajie kupitia misitu ya balisamu.
and David asketh again of God, and God saith to him, 'Do not go up after them, turn round from them, and thou hast come to them from over-against the mulberries;
15 Utakaposikia sauti ya wanajeshi wanatembea kwenye upepo uvumao kutoka juu ya miti ya balisamu, kisha shambulia kwa nguvu. Fanya hivyo kwasababu Mungu atakutangulia kwenda kuwashambulia majeshi ya wafilisti.”
and it cometh to pass, when thou hearest the sound of the stepping at the heads of the mulberries, then thou goest out into battle, for God hath gone out before thee to smite the camp of the Philistines.'
16 Hivyo Daudi alifanya kama Mungu alivyo muamuru. Aliwashinda jeshi la Wafilisti kutoka Gibeoni mpaka Gezeri.
And David doth as God commanded him, and they smite the camp of the Philistines from Gibeon even unto Gazer;
17 Kisha umaarufu wa Daudi ukaenda katika nchi zote, na Yahweh akasababisha mataifa yote kumuhofia.
and the name of David goeth out into all the lands, and Jehovah hath put his fear on all the nations.
